As I write this, the vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is living up to the hype as Vance is wiping the floor with Walz, leaving him stammering and staring as though he can't remember anything from his script except "But Trump!"

I think Walz is going to vote for Vance. 😂 #VPDebate2024 pic.twitter.com/3EfxGxBDKt— under construction! (@PHX_LC) October 2, 2024
The best part of the night so far, in my opinion, was when the CBS News moderators tried to "fact check" Vance on the issue of the Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, even though the rules of the debate were that the moderators weren't going to fact check each other but the candidates could.
After Vance used the word "illegal immigrants" to describe the Haitian migrants, the moderators tried to make a big deal out of the fact that they were technically here "legally." But Vance was having none of it and proceeded to explain the "technical" reason why. They tried to force him to move on to the next question but he continued on. In fact, he smoked them so bad that they ended up cutting his mic.
JD Vance just TOOK COMMAND of this debate by fact-checking these debate "moderators" who tried to fact-check him!
This is how it's DONE.

All that was missing was a literal mic drop.
Both Walz and the moderators were also fact-checked on the Twitter machine by Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin, who has spent years at the border reporting on the crisis. Here's what he had to say:
"CBS cuts Vance’s mic while he’s explaining how the Biden/Harris admin has allowed over 800,000 migrants to enter the U.S. via the CBP One App “lawfully”. It then sounded like Walz claimed the CBP One app has been used since the 90s, which is completely false. The Biden/Harris admin started using it in winter 2023 to begin mass paroling migrants into the country by the hundreds of thousands, typically between 1,300-1,500 every single day."
In other words, the moderators falsely fact-checked Vance but not Walz, who was the one actually not telling the truth.
Go figure. I mean, total shocker, right?
In any event, good on Vance for not letting the mods roll all over him and in the process creating another infuriating Romney/Crowley debate moment. Not happening on Vance's watch!
Once again, Vance is rising to the occasion:

It’s obvious who the best choice this November is; the Trump Vance ticket.
The female in pink was nauseating.
Snarky bit@h still couldn’t take it. She ended it with “Thank you for describing the legal process”. And then added that their mics were cut off.
These debates are tiresome now. Two super libtards, ganging up to attack the Repub and make excuses for the dem.
Why no question about the Walz “rat on you neighbor hotline”?
Why no question about his refusal to send National Guard when Minneapolis was burning? Why nothing about his wife saying she left the windows open to let the smoke from burning tires in?
When he said he learned about government by going to China, why did nobody ask him what he learned?
Why no questions about 30 trips to China and whether or not he admires the Chinese government?
Why no questions about him being the faculty sponsor to the student faggot club and taking a kid to a conference?
Filth.
Do the moderators have hyphenated last names?
The fact that the media isn’t even talking about it much less taking the usual victory lap, is proof even they realize Walz got his ass kicked.
Good stuff… thanks for posting this!
Those *would have been* GREAT questions.
Pretty much!
HERE’S MY OPINION:
NO MORE DEBATES. THESE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE MAINSTREAM/ SOCIALIST LEFTIES, POSING AS JOURNALISTS TO PRANCE, DANCE, SMIRK, BEHAVE LIKE CHILDREN.
I USED TO LOOK FORWARD TO THEM, BUT NO MORE...
NO MORE DEBATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Propaganda Media is desperately clinging to their self-assigned relevance of a bygone era.
Pretty much true, but new avenues of communication have yet to be solidified.

They're doing that by banning TikTok. Next they'll ban X.
Then Zuck will behave again. He's a lapdog for the Democrats.
The CBP One app needs to be shut down live, during Trump’s 2nd Inaugural Address. To make taxpayers pay to facilitate the breaking of our immigration laws is insane. It must end, someone on the transition team needs to be tasked with having the plug pulled at 12:01 pm on 1/20/2025.
F-ing CBS MUTED Vance!
“To the moon” obnoxious.....
They also cut the video for a few seconds, leaving me looking at a black computer screen. Then they restored video.
I think that guys watching the debate will be turned off by these mods.
