I have watched the fly episode over and over. Pence doesn't even seem to notice a fly landed in his hair. If you watch closely it appears out of nowhere which would give credence that it might have been trick photography. There was no circling maneuver prior to landing, no dive bombing just BAM and there it was. This is an anything goes election to the DemocRATS. Something doesn't seem right.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden says he refuses to speak on whether he plans to “pack” the Supreme Court because, he implied, that would deflect attention from President Trump. “You’ll know my opinion on court-packing when the election is over,” Biden told reporters alongside running mate Kamala Harris. “Now look, I know it’s a great question and I don’t blame you for asking, but you know the moment I answer that question, the headline in every one of your papers will be about that other than focusing on what’s happening now.” “The election has begun. There has never been a...

The melody sneaks up on you…

ABC News on Thursday published a lengthy article that ABC touted as a fact-check on Wednesday night’s first and only vice presidential debate, but the network’s article exclusively focused on Vice President Mike Pence’s remarks. The article, titled “Fact-checking the 2020 vice presidential debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris,” promises to evaluate “what both candidates said,” but deals only with the vice president. ABC divided the feature into 12 separate sections, each of which dealt only with remarks from Pence.

CNN boosts Van Jones' "perspective" especially at/after last night's debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris. In addition to his anti Trumpism... I wanted to remind this: Pence calls on Van Jones to resign By MARTIN KADY II   09/04/2009 02:47 PM EDT Rep. Mike Pence, the no. 3 Republican in the House, is calling on Obama green jobs czar Van Jones to resign. This sort of thing would usually be laughed off by Democrats -- a conservative Republican telling a Democratic appointee to quit. But the Obama team isn't exactly jumping to back Jones today in wake of revelations that...

Missouri Gov. Michael Parson (R) vowed on Wednesday to pardon Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the white couple who drew national attention over the summer after footage of them pointing guns at Black Lives Matter protesters outside their home went viral, after the pair was indicted on charges related to the incident the day before. Parson said at a news conference on Wednesday that he "most certainly would" issue a pardon for the couple should they be convicted on counts of exhibiting a weapon and tampering with evidence brought against them over the June incident, according to The Associated Press. "We'll...

Just drove down one of the main streets in Cary, NC. Lots of Biden/Harris signs, some with little US flags on them. ZERO Trump/Pence signs. Found out from Wake County GOP that ALL our Trump/Pence signs were put out but have been REMOVED by the Demonrats.

One question may loom larger than any other in this election cycle: just how much does traditional politicking matter? Both campaigns have placed large bets on diametrically opposed answers, seemingly without hedging them much, if at all.Joe Biden, his campaign, and the DNC insist that voters won’t respond to in-person appeals such as larger-scale events and door-knocking. They have directed most of their money to national TV ads and national messaging, although last week began to explore some rudimentary door-knocking. Team Trump, the RNC, and especially Donald Trump himself all insist on traditional events, door-knocking, and more granular personal-contact...

When an ABC news anchor has to tell the truth... I thought Pence rocked. Harris looked tense...

The National Association of Scholars (NAS) is calling on the Pulitzer Prize Board to “rescind” the prize awarded to New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones over the summer for her work on the 1619 Project where she asserts, with “no evidence,” that slavery was the reason the American Revolution was fought. “We call on the Pulitzer Prize Board to rescind the 2020 Prize for Commentary awarded to Nikole Hannah-Jones for her lead essay in ‘The 1619 Project,’” the NAS wrote in a public letter to the board. “That essay was entitled, ‘Our democracy’s founding ideals were false when they were...

Joe Biden on Monday tried to defend his inaction on criminal justice reform during a NBC News town hall. Joe Biden falsely claimed “18,000 people got clemency” while he was Vice President. Actually, 18,000 were *denied* clemency while he was Vice President. Of course NBC town hall host Lester Holt didn’t push back on Biden’s lies. Shocker!

My prediction is here: https://www.270towin.com/maps/QpJyN Wouldn’t this be nice? 356-182. I got this by giving Trump the states he won in 2016, plus all the States W. won at least once in 2000/2004, plus Minnesota and New Hampshire. I know VA, CO, NM and NV are a bit of a stretch. But if Trump gets 50% of Latinos, 15% of Blacks... it could happen.

In a Biden campaign video released Tuesday, former First Lady Michelle Obama argued that only a small percentage of protests in the U.S. have turned violent. The story: The former first lady asserted that the majority of protests in the U.S. are peaceful and instances of riots and looting scarce. She also said in the video that claiming otherwise is “racist.” Shortly before that, she attacked President Trump for what she said was dividing the American people. Obama further noted that painting protests against racism and police brutality as violent plays into President Trump’s tactic to scare people into voting...

This trend of making Trump look like some kind of "nazi" isn't a new radical left tactic. I'm old enough to remember the demonization of G.W. Bush as a supposed "hitler", after war on terror began Post 9/11 Islamists' butchery. Suggestion for Trump's team. Publicize the following: Trump condemns Holocausts 'the most savage crimes' (WBAY) By ARON HELLER Associated Press Published: May. 23, 2017 at 10:34 AM EDT President Donald Trump paid a short visit to Israel's national Holocaust memorial on Tuesday, calling the Nazi extermination of 6 million Jews "the most savage crime against God and his children" during the most...

NBC News’ town hall with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Monday came under fire for what were described as softball questions and audience that appeared overwhelmingly liberal. The event was hosted by NBC News anchor Lester Holt and took place in Miami, Florida, on an outdoor veranda at the Pérez Art Museum along Biscayne Bay. NBC said that all of the Miami attendees, which asked Biden questions, were “undecided voters.” The town hall started with Holt asking the former vice president to react to President Trump’s return to the White House. He asked if Biden was “surprised” by the...

UChicago United, a coalition of activist groups at the University of Chicago, is advising students to avoid calling the police for certain crimes and is taking shots at the school. The story: The coalition recently released the 2020 edition of its “dis-orientation” booklet. The 63-page booklet covers various topics, including race, free speech, and global justice.

The student newspaper at the University of Wisconsin-Madison refused to publish an op-ed that arguing against the “defund the police” movement over the fear of backlash. The op-ed was penned and submitted by Tripp Grebe, who worked as a conservative columnist for the student paper, called the Badger-Herald. In it, Grebe criticized calls to defund and abolish police departments. The paper’s initial response: At the beginning of the fall semester, Samira Bhushan, an opinion editor at the paper, sent an email to Grebe, informing him that his stance too controversial and might invite “backlash.”

I know this is gonna cause the flames to go through the roof but the hideous behavior of the Hoax News media is in part---a large part---the fault of Donald Trump, Sean Spicer, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Early on, the very first time these jerkweeds started blurting out questions, hecktoring Trump and/or his press people, it should have been squelched. ONE question. Any violation of the rules is an instant suspension. Two is a year long suspension, three is a ban for the life of the administration. This should have been nipped in the bud. Now it will be very...
