This Just In To LPR …

President Trump will nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. LPR recommends that visitors read her Wikipedia entry to get an idea how qualified she is to be a Supreme Court justice. No conservative should doubt her conservative credentials. It is to be expected that the Democrats will try to bork her, and that she will have no difficulty refuting zealous, malicious assault.

LPR also hears that action on the Durham probe into the origins of the Russia hoax has been delayed by the passing of Justice Ginsburg.

Call them Rejectionists, not The Resistance …

LPR believes that The Resistance refers to partisans fighting to oust an evil, illegitimate ruler -- as the French Maquis resisted the Nazi occupation of France during World War II.  Resistance descends to invidious propaganda when political groups reject legitimate, constitutional authority. President Trump is the legitimate, constitutional head of state for the U.S.A.  Accordingly, opposition to his presidency represents rejection of his lawful election, not resistance. LPR believes that the anti-Trumpists, therefore, should be termed Rejectionists, not The Resistance.

Two questions never raised by Rejectionists?

What if President Trump is re-elected and the Rejectionists continue to oppose him with violence?

What if prior to the election the former vice president suffers an episode that makes it clear he cannot carry the burdens of the presidency -- and must step down as presidential candidate?

What is Happening to the John Batchelor Show?

Usually, the John Batchelor Show is aired on WABC radio in New York, Monday through Friday, 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.  In recent months, the first hour was given to Ben Shapiro, a conservative pundit. Fortunately, the first hour was then returned to Mr. Batchelor.   On September 14, LPR turned  his radio to WABC, 9 p.m,, and did not hear Mr, Batchelor but a person who sounded as if he spoke through gritted teeth.  It proved to be former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani,  LPR turned the radio off, and tried again at 10 p.m.  This time LPR heard the snarling voice  of Bill O'Reilly scolding someone named "Bernard."  Again, LPR turned the radio off and decided to see if Mr, Batchelor will be back at 11 p.m. Fortunately, he was -- except his audience had only two hours to hear his informative and witty and,  indeed, educational, broadcast-- suggesting an adult seminar of the airwaves. LPR believes the individuals who now take up the first two hours of Batchelor time are not compatible with the Batchelor audience.  This is not a call-in program. This is a program that relies on guest hosts, expert in their fields, and book authors, sagely interviewed by Mr. Batchelor. 

LPR wonders why executives don't leave well enough alone with John Batchelor, and tinker with the broadcasts that are on air from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.   The John Batchelor Show appeals to brain power.  Executives, please restore the show to its four-hour time period.

Signs that summer is jusy about over …

It's getting dark at 8 p.m. in The Bronx.  LPR has not needed nighttime air-conditioning since August 30.  Daylight temperatures are running in the 70's in New York City.

Hurricane Laura and the California Wildfires …

LPR wishes the victims of Hurricane Laura speedy rebuilding.  LPR also wishes California respite from the wildfires that plague the Golden State.

When will they rename Washington,D.C. -- Federal City?

Breitbart reported, the early hours of September 2, that a mayoral committee in Washington, D.C. wants to remove or "contextualize" the Washington  monument, the Jefferson Memorial and other D.C. landmarks.  Look for lots of name changes if Joe Biden gets elected.

One More Question …

Why does the media let leftists get away with the lie that the riots and looting and arson are merely forms of justifiable peaceful protest?
