The Commission on Presidential Debates is at it again, making another last minute rule change to protect Joe Biden from being bested on stage by President Trump. This time the commission announced that each candidate’s microphone will be muted while the other responds for two minutes to a question by moderator Kristen Welker of NBC News at Thursday’s third scheduled debate in Nashville. During open discussion, Welker will be able to give a candidate more time to speak to make up for being interrupted. The debate commission changed the rules for the second debate from an in-person townhall in Miami...

Apprised of Gallup poll results showing that 56% of voters say they are better off than they were during the Obama Administration's last year, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden advised these people "not to vote for me. Such a belief is a warning sign of mental deficiency. These people shouldn't be voting. They'll just muck up the results." "I know polls show that only a third of Americans rated the economy as good or excellent during the Obama years and that nearly two-thirds said this about the Trump years, but to me the Obama years were great years," Biden insisted....

Joe Biden is hiding in his basement today. He called a lid. In his place Senator Liz Warren is campaigning for the former corrupt Vice President. Warren held an enthusiastic rally in front of eight people this morning in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. At least two of the eight were too young to vote.

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board just ripped apart the absurdity of “Bidenomics.” Hint: it most definitely is not “well grounded in mainstream economics” as New York Times economist Paul Krugman would have people believe. In an editorial headlined “The Cost of Bidenomics,” The Editorial Board wrote that Democratic presidential nominee “Joe Biden has shrewdly kept the campaign focus on Covid-19 and President Trump, which has helped him avoid having to talk much about his own policies.” However, that’s especially “true of his economic proposals, which a new study out Sunday from the Hoover Institution shows will have a damaging...

Steve added that there are 25,000 images that show a drug-addled, depraved lifestyle. The New York Post corroborated Steve Bannon’s numbers.

On Sunday CBS’s Ed O’Keefe told ‘Face the Nation’ viewers that Joe Biden will not be seen again after today until Thursday night.

Are Jack Dorsey, who has lied to Congress, and Mark Zuckerberg, who has no love for freedom, democracy, and the Constitution, Russian assets? President Donald Trump was accused of being a Russian asset because Moscow’s operatives tried to influence American opinion by buying a few thousand dollars of Facebook ads while fake Twitter accounts planted dubious stories. So how are Twitter and Facebook not meddling in our elections by suppressing a major American newspaper’s URL for a story deemed harmful to one candidate in a presidential election? If there ever was any doubt that the social media tech giants Twitter...

Anna Adeola Makanju is currently working on content regulation at Facebook. Previously, she was the Special Policy Advisor for Europe and Eurasia to Vice President Biden, and prior to that she was the Senior Policy Advisor to the Permanent Representative at the United States Mission to the United Nations. She also was the Director for Russia at the National Security Council and the Chief of Staff for European and NATO Policy in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Anna was born in St. Petersburg, Russia to a Nigerian father and Ukrainian mother. When Anna was 11 years old, her...

It’s becoming increasingly clear to even mainstream media outlets that things are unlikely to return to “normal” after the 2020 election. No matter who wins, it is likely the losing side will regard the winning side as having obtained its win using dirty tricks, foreign meddling, or through relentless propaganda offered up by a heavily biased and one-sided news media. And if about half the country regards the winning president as illegitimate, where does one go from there?

There’s an old saying: “when there’s blood in the streets buy real estate.” The modern version of the axiom relates to the strategy of George Soros: create the crisis; fund the political arsonists; drive the turmoil; then benefit from pre-positioned finances. Both versions are essentially saying the same thing. Without opinion as to the origin and possible intent of the Chinese COVID-19 launch, what became obvious early on was how the virus could be weaponized for maximum political value. Factually, and specifically when contrast against the most recently visible control efforts by social media giants to assist Joe Biden, you...

Put this in the stunning conflict of interest file that is truly jaw-dropping. This is just unreal. Anna Makanju is the Facebook executive in charge of “election integrity on the platform”; and guess what her job was before that position… “Previously, she was the special policy adviser for Europe and Eurasia to former US Vice President Joe Biden”.

In a move to implement what he characterized as "a more efficient form of government," Gov. Tom Wolf (D-Penn) has signed on to a multi-state Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) agreement that will result in higher taxes on the state's inhabitants. This bypasses the state constitution's delegation of the taxing power to the legislature. Wolf explained that "we are in a climate crisis. Waiting for the legislature to act wastes precious time. Rather than let the people of Pennsylvania, the United States, and the world suffer while legislators dither is unacceptable." For its part, a bipartisan majority of the legislature...

President Donald Trump will hold a town hall on Wednesday with former FOX News host Eric Bolling. This will be President Trump’s first town hall where he will not have to argue with a far left moderator.

Jealous of all the attention Joe Biden is getting for being the most mentally unfit presidential candidate ever, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) went on a tirade while being interviewed by CNN's Wolf Blitzer, accusing him and his network colleagues of "always being an apologists for the Republican position." The blow-up occurred after Blitzer asked her "to look Americans in the eye and explain why you don't want to accept the president's latest stimulus offer. Other Democrats like Rep. Ro Khanna (Calif) and former presidential candidate Anrew Yang, are saying that given the harm inflicted by the shutdowns many of...

The Lochel Bakery Cookie Poll has correctly picked the last three presidents. On Saturday the owner of Lochel Bakery in Hatboro, Pennsylvania went on with FOX and Friends Weekend.

In an overheard private chat after the conclusion of ABC's town hall with Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, George Stephanopoulos wondered if "there's anything to the whole Hunter email thing? I've seen lot's of commentary, some of it severely critical. What's your take on it—off-the-record of course." "It's already been debunked," Biden replied. "Twitter and Facebook have stricken it from the record. Nobody believes a word of it. Period." "Well, what about the $10 million a year for 'introductions' deal?" Stephanopoulos asked. "That seems a lot of money. Who was Hunter introducing to who?" "What a lot of people don't...
