Censorship Has Won, The Banning Of Gab Proves It. One by one various companies cut off Gab even though according to a study 94.6% of their content would not violate the rules of any other social media platform. Yet because of negative press the site continually gets banned or removed. How can the solution to censorship be to create your own site if you can't even run that site due to the numerous other companies that provide infrastructure? How can you make your own platform if the media will smear you and lie about you? After getting censored and smeared they will come for your company and this is proof.

Migrant Caravan Refuses Mexican Offer of Refugee Status and insist on making their way to the US. This will present an issue for democrats entering the mid term as Trump has rallied around the idea of border security and the wall in response to thousands of migrants making their way to the US border. The latest news is that a section of "the wall" is completed near Calexico and a debate rages as to whether or not its a wall or a fence. But semantics aside a barrier is being constructed and we are entering a heated debate about immigration in this country.

Kavanaugh Accusers Lied, Referred To FBI For Investigation. While we don't know the full details we can now say according to NBC News that Julie Swetnick and another unnamed witness provided statements under penalty of felony but later recanted some of those statements. One woman claimed that Michael Avenatti twisted her words and she recanted some of the statements she made in her sworn declaration. The two possible scenarios both involved the accusers having lied. Either they lied in their sworn statements or they lied to NBC news. Lying to the press is not a crime so the FBI will likely go off of the sworn statements but with one woman claiming Avenatti twisted her words he might be on the hook for some of the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh.

U.S. Troops Being Sent To Southern Border, Migrant Caravan. As the migrant caravan makes its way closer to the US border, albeit very slowly, escalating calls for security have come from Trump. It is reported that today officials are planning to send 800 US troops to the southern border to provide logistical support and help secure it. The caravan is bad news for democrats going into the midterms and a very strong play for Trump and republicans as working class Americans find the issue to be extremely important.

Clinton, Obama, Soros, CNN, And Others Sent Live Devices. As of the filming of this video everyone appears to be safe and the USSS has everything under control. The devices were intercepted at the post office it seems. But many people are speculating as to what this means and how it will impact the midterm elections. Whenever things like this happen liberal minded people become more conservative so this might actually push people toward voting for security and safety. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYJAInVt4OE&list=PLxQaod7tWvYLG8M4DxqQJVl_AEcwDnDAF Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

Democrats "Blue Wave" Is Failing, Republicans Make Gains. Polls are showing that republicans are making gains in the Senate and have a chance to maintain a majority in the house. For all the talk leading up to the mid terms from the democratic party about a blue wave there is very little to show for it. New data from NBC News shows that Republicans are outpacing Democrats in early voting. Have the Democrats dropped the ball? I think so, and their failure to be civil and embrace sound policy is likely why. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Trump Is Threatening To Shut The US Border With Mexico as a migrant caravan of 4,000 people is making it's way from Honduras. Trump has demanded that Mexico and Guatemala do everything they can to stop the migrants from coming to the US. He has even threatened to suspend aid to these countries. This could be bad news for democrats going into the Mid terms as immigration is a core issue for moderates and conservatives. If the Democrats appear weak on migration and illegal immigrants it could bolster the republicans. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

The NPC Meme Perfectly Explains Why "The Left Can't Meme." NPC is meant to describe someone who doesn't think critically. Memeing requires a mass amount of individuals constantly evolving an idea and constantly making it funnier. The right has embraced the humor and fun while the left has rejected it. Among the left social justice activists tend to follow the collective narrative or identity this means their thoughts are more likely to be homogeneous where as the right is more individualist and this allows ideas to evolve much more quickly.

Elizabeth Warren Just Hurt the Democrats, Bad. There are only about 21 days out from the midterms and Warren just published dubious data to counter Donald Trump's insults and it proves literally nothing. The only thing Warren did was prove that Democrats will lose focus and waste time on complete nonsense so long as Trump directs it. The democrats are too weak to stay focused and Trump is just toying with them. With the election so soon Republicans need every advantage they can get. If the Democrats can't stay specific as to why they are better than Republicans then they will keep losing. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

Meme Magic is real, its how Conservatives Are Able To Keep Winning. It is their not so secret weapon. Memes are meant to be fun and funny. The right is constantly making inside jokes (the latest is the NPC meme) and funny images to spread ideas. It makes hard to swallow political ideas fun and exciting. For the average person they can participate by iterating and changing memes. This makes jokes constantly evolve and allows ideas to spread even further. This works because their counter parts on the regressive left constantly restrict and police language. Social justice activists and feminists are known to call things bad or problematic restricting their virality. This means that so long as conservatives are having fun and inviting people in and the regressive left is angry with people and restricting language, conservative ideas will travel further and be more appetizing to regular folks.
