In an interview with John Kass of the Chicago Tribune, Attorney General William Barr rejects the idea that President Trump would stay in office and refuse to leave if he loses as Democrats are “projecting.”

Barr explained “Instead of loyal opposition, it became the resistance. There are undoubtedly many people in the government who surreptitiously worked to thwart the administration.”

Barr then quipped “You know liberals project.”

He continued “You know, the president is going to stay in office and seize power and all of this sh*t. I’ve never heard of any of that crap,”

“I mean, I’m the attorney general,” he continued.

“I would think I would have heard about it. They are projecting. They are creating an incendiary situation where there will be loss of confidence in the vote.”

“Someone will say the president just won Nevada. ‘Oh, wait a minute! We just discovered 100,000 ballots! Every vote will be counted!’ Yeah, but we don’t know where these freaking votes came from,” AG Barr added.

Two Ohio high school football players were suspended from their team for carrying “Thin Red Line” and “Thin Blue Line” flags onto the field honoring first responders before a game on Sept. 11.

“I don’t care what my consequences are. So long as my message gets across, I’ll be happy,” senior cornerback Brady Williams, who was suspended from the team, told Local 12 News.

Williams said that he was only trying to honor the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, not make a political statement.

“I was just doing it to honor the people that lost their lives 19 years ago,” said Williams, whose father is a police officer.

While Williams carried the “Thin Blue Line” flag to honor police officers, teammate Jarad Bentley took the field with the “Thin Red Line” flag to honor firefighters.

“I was all for it because my dad is a firefighter,” Bentley said. “And if it had been him killed on 9/11, I would have wanted someone to do it for him.”

On Monday, the two players found out from their athletic director that they were suspended indefinitely from the football team. School officials said the players were denied permission to carry the flags before the game.

“We can’t have students who decide to do something anyway after they’ve been told that they shouldn’t be doing it,” Little Miami Schools Superintendent Gregory Power said.

Power also said that he objected to the flags because he saw them as political.

“We did not want to place ourselves in a circumstance where another family might want a different flag to come out of the tunnel, one that maybe many other families may not agree with from a political perspective,” Power said.

On Tuesday, Little Miami school board President Bobbie Grice said the players were no longer suspended.

“The results show that there were no political motivations behind this display of support for first responders on 9/11, but there were stances of insubordination,” Grice said. “Moving forward, Little Miami is returning the players to active status, and this matter will be addressed as an Athletic Department Code of Conduct issue, with any potential consequences to be handled by coaching staff.”

The suspensions garnered national outrage, with former Republican senator and Conservative Partnership Institute Chairman Jim DeMint tweeting out a message of support for the players.

“These boys suspended for honoring our brave police and firefighters on 9/11. Someone raised them right,” DeMint said. “We need more standing up for what’s right & noble in our country. Shame on school officials.”

Williams said he has also received a lot of support from his teammates.

“I realize that this was more than just a football team. These guys are now my brothers,” he said.

Appearing on “The View” to promote his “tell all” book that offers a scathing critique for his former Boss, Michael Cohen claimed that President Trump’s dislike for former President Obama is “purely racial.”

“Why he despises him to the extent that he does, I believe it’s purely racial,” Cohen told co-host Sunny Hostin.

“I believe it’s solely predicated on the fact that Barack Obama is Black,” Cohen added.

During another segment, Michael Cohen compares working for President Donald Trump to “Stockholm Syndrome.”

Cohen also attacked the President for dividing the country with his behaviour, and claimed that that was one of the main reasons he changed his path.

He also compared Trump’s circle of people to a cult, and explained how hard it was for him working with them.

In a 2-1 ruling, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with President Donald Trump in a major immigration ruling and reversed a lower court decision that had blocked his move to phase out “Temporary Protected Status” for people from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua and Sudan.

The ruling is expected to effect the TPS of people from Honduras and Nepal who were part of a separate lawsuit.

US News reported that “the TPS enrollees from the six countries currently have work authorization through Jan. 4, 2021.”

“The appeals court ruling means that those immigrants will be required to find another way to remain in the United States legally or depart after a wind-down period of at least six months and longer in the case of El Salvador.”

“However, the case is likely to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which could delay that outcome.”

Judge Consuleo Callahan, a Bush appointee, wrote in the majority opinion “While we do not condone the offensive and disparaging nature of the president’s remarks, we find it instructive that these statements occurred primarily in contexts removed from and unrelated to TPS policy or decisions.”

Jacksonville Jaguar Tyler Eifert went against the grain of his peers by honoring retired officer David Dorn on his helmet.

Retired officer David Dorn was killed while attempting to protect a store from looters.

Eifert wrote “Great win to start the season. Love being a part of this new team and community! It was honor wearing David Dorns name on my helmet today! #DUUUVAL”

Many folks on social media were happy that Eifert showed respect for the retired officer, and thanked him on Twitter.

One Twitter user replied “Thank you for doing that! The NFL has lost me as a fan today but I will still support you for doing the right thing! Wish you would have come out if the locker room but can’t have my cake and eat it too! GO IRISH! Good luck!”

Another Twitter user replied “Thank you Tyler! Mr Dorn served our city with dignity and pride. He deserved better. Say his name.”

Tony Bruno wrote “only true hero in the @NFL. Much respect for the courageous stance!”

It was a great game between the Cowboys and the Rams last night on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, but early ratings show a big drop from last year.

Even with the usual ratings gold of Jerry Jones’ team on the field, the NFL and NBC didn’t get that win – at least not in the early numbers. Despite two teams with big national followings, SNF snared a 4.7 in early ratings among adults 18-49 and 14.81 million viewers last night.

In numbers certain to change, that’s a fall of 28% in the demo and a hard decline of 23% in sets of eyeballs from the early numbers of the the September 8, 2019 SNF season debut.

While the early Nielsen data lacks numbers from the West Coast — kind of important when you have a team from the Los Angeles market in the mix — his result is going to be hard pill for the NFL and NBC to swallow.

To add further context, last year’s opener, a 33-3 pummeling of the Pittsburgh Steelers by then reigning Super Bowl champs the New England Patriots, went on to pull in an audience of 22.2 million on NBC, which was pretty much even with SNF’s 2018 season premiere. That 2019 figure inched up to 22.7 million when digital platform viewing was added in.

It’s clear that people aren’t watching like they used to and that’s a big deal because the Cowboys are normally a big draw, especially now that they have a legendary head coach.

But who can blame them with all of the BLM garbage and the National Anthem kneeling going around the league.

On Saturday night, two LA County deputies were ambushed and shot in the head by a lone gunman who is being hailed as a hero by some Black Lives Matter supporters. “We hope they f*cking die!” screamed the BLM activists who rushed to the hospital where the two deputies were being treated. Well, that’s when Candace Owens utterly torched them.

The two Los Angeles County deputies who were shot in the head during an ambush in their patrol car are expected to survive after emerging from surgery, according to reports.

“It looks like they’re going to be able to recover,” Villanueva said Sunday afternoon,” CNN reported.

“We’ll see what the long-term impact is. We don’t know that yet, but they survived the worst,” he said during a community dialogue event.

The sheriff’s department announced it is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect, who was caught on video firing at the deputies at point-blank range about 7 p.m. Saturday in Compton.

Meanwhile, cop haters on the scene in Compton right after the shooting were celebrating it.

Actor James Woods posted the video, tweeting: “Here’s the reaction of an eyewitness to the ambush of two Deputies shot in the head in #Compton. The victims are in the background. No one is going to help them. Vote like your life depends on it. #BlueLivesMatter.”

This so-called anti-cop activist is on the scene watching as the deputies open their door and fall to the ground just seconds after the shooting, and he couldn’t be happier. We bet the LASD investigators have already rounded this clown up as he seems to be “in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“Black Lives Matter activists confront law enforcement at Los Angeles hospital where wounded officers were taken after they were shot. ‘To their family: I hope they f**king die,’” tweeted Ian Miles Cheong.

The LA County deputies stationed outside the hospital refused to put up with these BLM activists. After they blocked the emergency room entrance and failed to disperse, the deputies arrested the so-called protesters.

Conservative firebrand Candace Owens reacted to the ambush of two Los Angeles sheriff’s deputies on Saturday by proclaiming that Black Lives Matter (BLM), the media, athletes, and the entertainment industry are to blame.

“Why else does this happen? Because when pea-brained athletes put the name of an alleged RAPIST on their helmets and jerseys, criminals begin believing they are acting as heroes,” Owens tweeted Sunday.

“BLACK LIVES MATTER AND THE COMPLICIT MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS, ATHLETES, AND ENTERTAINERS ARE TO BLAME,” Owens added.

The conservative African-American was just getting warmed up.

“Why does this happen? Because pea-brained celebrities that are idolized like [LeBron James] tell young black men that they are ‘literally being hunted,’” added Owens in another tweet.

“This is the natural result of such hyperbolic, dishonest rhetoric.”

“The racist, anti-police, black lives matter LIE is to blame,” Owens affirmed.

CNN had a really bad day and boy did they have some issues during the Trump rally in Nevada.

The network has no answer for the enthusiasm and love supporters have for President Trump. Just look at this CNN’s reporters face as the crowd of thousands was chanting to be let into the rally.

In there reporting of the event CNN lamented over Trump supporters:

“When gates to the Minden, Nevada, rally opened just before 5 p.m. local time, hundreds of people rushed to the front grabbing for chairs and squeezing in, all while music by Elton John and Queen blasted throughout the venue.”

“The rally-goers had been waiting in line for several hours to get inside the airport rally, which is being held on the tarmac of the general aviation field.”

CNN is getting it wrong though, these aren’t Trump rally’s they are “peaceful protests.”

President Trump also called out Joe Biden during the “peaceful protest.”

“[Biden] only did one thing good. He treated Obama good. I was going to say something else but they would have scolded me,” said Trump.

A group of 50 GOP lawmakers led by Rep. Ken Buck are calling for Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate who may be funding riots of far-left anarchist groups.

Among the group are lawmakers Andy Biggs, Doug Collins and Steve King.

Below is the letter sent to AG Barr.

It reads “ANTIFA and other left-wing anarchist groups have unleashed a barrage of totalitarian attacks on our country in recent months, including accosting a sitting U.S. Senator, hijacking peaceful rallies, organizing armed riots, destroying property, burning buildings, stealing livelihoods, and spreading hate.”

In a statement, Buck said “We write to share our deep concerns regarding the ongoing violence that has gripped American cities and threatened the rule of law across our nation. ANTIFA and other left-wing anarchist groups have unleashed a barrage of totalitarian attacks on our country in recent months, including accosting a sitting U.S. Senator, hijacking peaceful rallies, organizing armed riots, destroying property, burning buildings, stealing livelihoods, and spreading hate.”

“ANTIFA and other far-left anarchist groups have wreaked havoc on our nation for far too long. Americans deserve to feel safe and secure in their own communities. It is time that AG Barr and the DOJ take action to investigate and prosecute the groups responsible for these violent riots.”

“I am proud to lead this effort with my colleagues to put a stop to these coordinated attacks that have subverted our system of government and way of life,” he added.

Cosigners include: Reps. Biggs, Babin, Budd, Collins, Gibbs, Duncan, King, Perry, Steube, Roy, Palmer, Posey, Abraham, Davis, Gaetz, Brooks, Lesko, LaMalfa, Wright, Meuser, Norman, Loudermilk, Riggleman, Davidson, Yoho, Kelly, Hice, DesJarlais, Tiffany, Spano, Harris, Gosar, Weber, Gooden, Rouzer, Fulcher, Hern, Jason Smith, Reschenthaler, Adrian Smith, Banks, Arrington, Grothman, Walker, Murphy, Joyce, Guest, Cloud,and Sensenbrenner.

In an interview with Townhall, Attorney General William Barr refers to “most of the mainstream media” as “basically a collection of liars.”

“They’re basically a collection of liars. Most of the mainstream media. They’re a collection of liars and they know exactly what they’re doing.” AG Barr says.

He continues “A perfect example of that were the riots. Right on the street it was clear as day what was going on, anyone observing it, reporters observing it, it could not have escaped their attention that this was orchestrated violence by a hardened group of street fighting radicals and they kept on excluding from their coverage all the video of this and reporting otherwise and they were doing that for partisan reasons, and they were lying to the American people.”

“It wasn’t until they were caught red-handed after essentially weeks of this lie that they even started feeling less timid,” Barr said on the flight back to Washington Friday afternoon.”

“The press has dropped, in my view – and I’m talking about the national mainstream media – has dropped any pretense of professional objectivity and are political actors, highly partisan who try to shape what they’re reporting to achieve a political purpose and support a political narrative that has nothing to do with the truth. They’re very mendacious about it,” he added.

The Attorney General then warned that that’s “very destructive to our Republic; it’s very destructive to the Democratic system to have that, especially being so monolithic. It’s contributing to a lot of the intensity and partisanship.”
