The FOX people were ordered to kiss Biden’s butt. Their TV viewer numbers for the whole convention were dismal...no one was tuned in to the Democrat Convention farce!!!

Fox just does not get it!!! Biden and the Democrat Party “STINK”...period!!! Terrible convention from A-Z.

Let’s see what Trumpie comes up with next week!!!

For the pandemic he promised to do everything that Trump has already done, just added mandatory masks.

'The Daily Briefing' anchor Dana Perino described Biden as having hit a "home run" with his DNC speech tonight.

Joe Biden says that on day one of his administration, "we will have a national mandate to wear a mask."

What if the virus subsides even more by January 20? Will we still have a national mandate? How will it be enforced? Under what authority in the Constitution? Will it be enforced against mostly peaceful protests? Will it be enforced at Democrat politician funerals?

For four years, Trump and supporters have been continual under attack, DAILY, by these Godless Democrats. And the big sales pitch now is “uniting”, “bringing America together”, “darkness vs light”, “working together”, “anger and hate”. NOTHING is pissing me off more, because they want to capitalize on everything they created against Trump.

20 Aug: Frontpage: Undignified Obama
What an ex-president’s inflammatory and hateful nominating-convention address was made of.
by Matthew Vadum
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi uttered bogus statistics, saying “more than 5 million Americans are” –present tense— infected by COVID-19.
According to Worldometers.info, at the very moment she offered that figure, a cumulative total of 5,700,931 Americans had contracted the disease. But Pelosi left out the fact that 3,062,331 recovered from it, which means that only 2,638,600 –or half the number she claimed— now have the disease.

Presumably, Pelosi thought that doubling the number of those currently infected made President Trump look worse...

wow. a fact-checker agrees Pelosi lied!

20 Aug: WKYC: VERIFY: Fact-checking the speakers from night 3 of the Democratic National Convention
Pelosi said that “more than five million Americans are infected by the coronavirus.”

This claim is false.

The U.S. has had more than five million cases total, but that includes all the people who have recovered or died due to the virus. According to Johns Hopkins data, roughly two million people in the United States have recovered from the coronavirus and 173,125 have died. If you subtract those from the total cases, you’re left with at most 3.4 million people who could be infected. That number is likely lower as the recovered numbers update slower.

Warren said that “America has the most COVID deaths in the world.”

This is true but needs context.
Data from Johns Hopkins shows that the United States does have the highest total number of COVID-19 deaths in the world with 173,125 deaths. But, the United States also has a larger population than many other countries in the world.

If you adjust the total deaths by population the U.S. drops lower. A Johns Hopkins analysis of deaths per 100,000 population shows the U.S. is actually ***4th highest in the world. A separate analysis compares the observed case-fatality ratio of each country. This number is determined by dividing the total number of fatalities by the total number of cases. On this chart, the U.S. ranks 12th in the world.

***I prefer deaths per million, which has USA as #9 in the world.

Statista: USA #9 covid deaths per million at 20 Aug 2020.

Most obnoxious duo 😣 Dana & Rove will be Bush ass kissers forever. Never a doubt that Dogface Purino would gush over Biden. Watch next week to see her trash Trump.
