Joe Biden told a Milwaukee television station on Monday that voters do not deserve to know whom he would appoint to the Supreme Court. After acknowledging he has a list of potential nominees, Joe Biden told TMJ 4 he simply is not going to share it. Biden also said his 1st choice is to select an African-American woman, but outlined his reasoning for not releasing a list of nominees

State and local governments are racing to spend millions in CARES Act funding before it reverts back to the federal government — and they're finding unexpected ways to use it, from "trunk-or-treating" in northeast Ohio to an experimental basic income program in St. Paul, Minn. The CARES Act provides $139 billion in payments to states and local governments. Those payments have funded things like increased police budgets to offset coronavirus costs and rent and utility assistance for struggling residents. However, blue states and Democratic mayors are also using the money for their pet causes.

In 2017, when Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Alejandro Villanueva stood near the tunnel to the Pittsburgh locker room with his hand over his heart while “The Star-Spangled Banner” played, the former Army Ranger was the only member of his team to do so. Apropos of the moment, that game against the Chicago Bears was being played at Soldier Field. Villanueva, a Bronze Star recipient, said his decision was not an intentional violation of coach Mike Tomlin’s order for every team member to stay in the locker room until the anthem had concluded. It was the result of Villanueva asking the...

President Donald Trump said on Fox and Friends on Monday he was considering a judge from Michigan to replace U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last week. Trump called Ginsburg “a legend,” despite her having a different political perspective than him. Her death creates an opening on the Supreme Court, which Trump said he intends to announce a nominee for on Friday or Saturday after memorial services for Ginsburg are completed. The candidates, he said, include “a great one from Michigan.” He’s down to a short list of candidates, he said. “It’s down to five and it...

- Graham is tied with Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison, 46% to 45%, consistent with polling since July. - Graham leads Harrison among white likely voters, 58% to 32%, while Harrison has a 70-point lead among Black voters, 81% to 11%. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is facing a tighter-than-expected re-election race this fall, according to Morning Consult polling, driven largely by the reticence of some Republican voters to commit to supporting him. But strategists in the state on both sides of the aisle expect conservatives will fall in line for the three-term incumbent and Senate Judiciary Committee chairman as he prepares...

Dear friends, Perhaps there is a real possibility that the elite of the world, on their way toward their World Dictatorship, will succeed in causing the second Civil War in America after the elections in November 2020. Also there is a real possibility that the president will be assassinated. We have given this power to the forces of evil because today there is less prayer and more sin than ever before!

@YALibertyAOC says impeachment is once again "on the table." Regardless of where you stand politically, impeachment was never intended to be a political weapon that could be wielded when a president does something the opposing party doesn't like. This is a very dangerous road to go down. Video...

Senate Republicans have enough votes to confirm a replacement for late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the Nov. 3 election, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told "Hannity" Monday. "It's pretty obvious that if they [Democrats] want an outcome, they'll just destroy anybody's life to keep the seats open," Graham told host Sean Hannity. "They said they tried to destroy Brett Kavanaugh so they could fill the seat -- they were dumb enough to say that," Graham added. "I've seen this movie before. It's not going to work, it didn't work with Kavanaugh. "We've got the votes...

Pete Carroll, Vic Fangio and Kyle Shanahan have been fined $100,000 for not wearing masks during their team's games this past Sunday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Seahawks, Broncos and 49ers were fined an additional $250,000. The three fines added up to $1.05 million. The fines came a week after Troy Vincent, the NFL's executive VP of football operations, sent a strongly worded memo to all 32 teams reminding them of the importance of wearing face covering during games. The memo also stated that future discipline could be enforced to coaches who don't comply with the league's rules. This...

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for PRESIDENT TRUMP and VICE PRESIDENT PENCE and for AMERICA: Government, Family, Military, Business, Education, Churches, and the Media. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 1 JOHN 5:14 Religion Forum threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind. . . A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He opposes all wise judgment. Proverbs 18:1

This video shows ole Joe lose his place reading the script. its ridiculously obvious.

First, I am no fan of Lindsey Graham and I don’t live in South Carolina so I have no “dog in this fight”. However “big “,comma”” After watching THIS video I am compelled to BEG the voters in SC to vote for Graham - hold your nose if you must but please do it. Just to be clear.... and “Q Anons please keep doing your OWN analysis of the news and digest the disinformation campaign of the FakeNews Media carefully!!! I must encourage every American voter to vote a straight republican ballot in November. — hold your nose of you...

In a speech on the Senate floor in June 1992, Mr. Biden, then the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said there should be a different standard for a Supreme Court vacancy “that would occur in the full throes of an election year.” The president should follow the example of “a majority of his predecessors” and delay naming a replacement, Mr. Biden said. If he goes forward before then, the Senate should wait to consider the nomination. “Some will criticize such a decision and say that it was nothing more than an attempt to save a seat on the court in hopes that...

Joseph Kennedy II dumped $2 million from his old campaign coffers into the super PAC backing his son’s bid to unseat U.S. Sen. Edward Markey, FEC filings show, confirming the speculation that became a major point of contention in the final weeks of the primary. The elder Kennedy, who served as a congressman from 1987 to 1999, made two contributions of $1 million each to the New Leadership PAC aiding U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy III, one on Aug. 5 and the other on Aug. 19, SEC records show. The money came as polls began to show the race slipping away...

Deputy Minister of Health Tran Van Thuan on September 21 stated that Vietnam was pulling out effort to purchase and produce COVID-19 vaccines. Vaccine availability was dependent on the manufacturer's clinical trials progress. Thuan did not detail the number of vaccine doses Vietnam ordered from abroad.

Last week, the Senate confirmed 8 judges to district courts, however I noticed that one of the judges, Franklin U. Valderrama on the Northern Illinois Court was confirmed by a 68-26 vote with the 26 NAYS as all Republicans, and every democrat voting YAY including Hirono and Gillibrand who almost always vote against Trumps judges--even the more "moderate" picks of his. Does anyone have any insight into this Franklin U. Valderrama guy and why so many Republicans would vote against him? The last time I am aware of so many R's going against a Trump nominee was Judge Mark Bennett...

I wanted to create an open, honest & nonjudgemental thread about the possibility of a future conservative female candidate for president. I wonder what most males opinions are on the subject & how it might affect the vote for our side. I would like everybody to feel comfortable being totally honest. Everybody is entitled to their own preferences & I wouldn't assume anything bad about someone based on that opinion. In fact, often wondered what my own husbands opinion truly is on the topic. Would you go so far as to say you would never vote for a female for...
