Last night was the first presidential candidate debate of the 2020 campaign season. The immediate takeaways were that: 1. Chris Wallace fought hard but lost the fight by decision to @realDonaldTrump 2. Biden’s favorite son was Beau, not Hunter. 3. Jill Biden hid behind a mask, Melania did not. 4. Democrats grooming is for mail vote election chaos, Trump knows it & will be ready. 5. Biden looks ill, Trump looked tanned, rested, and ready. 6. Biden allowed to interrupt, Wallace chastised Trump. 7. Police support Trump, none support Biden. 8. When Wallace stayed out of it, Trump won by...

Have you ever been so overwhelmed by circumstances that you cried out to God, “Lord, help me! I don’t know how to pray just now, so hear the cry of my heart. Deliver me from this situation!” At times we can only stand still and know that the Lord is our Deliverer. I believe this is exactly what David went through when he was captured by the Philistines. The psalmist wrote: “My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear of it and be glad” (Psalm 34:2). David is saying here, in essence, “I have something...

CBS News’ John Dickerson calls out Democrat Sen. Kamala Harris for Joe Biden’s “straight up dodge” on packing the Supreme Court

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow blasted President Donald Trump's performance during Tuesday's presidential debate, claiming he spewed “a monstrous cavalcade of just increasingly wild and obscene lies. "The leftist host said the event was "unlike anything that’s ever happened on a presidential debate stage."

Last night Donald Trump debated Joe Biden in a free for all. Trump also debated Chris Wallace. Time after time Wallace let stand Biden's false assertions stand. Wallace interrupted Trump non-stop but would not interrupt Biden. Wallace challenged Trump on his assertions but time and again refused to challenge Biden. Biden again mispresented what Kellyanne Conway said about violence. WATCH: During an interview with MSNBC, Joe Biden misrepresented a quote from @KellyannePolls. She didn’t say that the violence happening in Democrat-run cities is "better for us." Here’s the video comparing the two sets of comments... pic.twitter.com/n1ehpRXKvr— TV News HQ (@TVNewsHQ)...

In his essay “Yes, This Is The Face Of A Tyrant,” the left’s favorite purported conservative thought leader Andrew Sullivan, with apologies to George Will, Jennifer Rubin, Jonah Goldberg, Max Boot, and so many others, showcases the double standards and intellectual dishonesty that have, until the rise of the #NeverTrump right, been the province of the left and their mouthpieces in the Democrat media complex. That Sullivan is a very gifted writer, though a subjective judgement, is a fact I’ll easily concede. The way he weaves Shakespeare’s fictional Richard III narrative into his piece is brilliant. The inevitable effort to...

Last days’ events happen quickly. Even suddenly. The word “quickly” (Greek word: tachos) is used eight times in Revelation. Think of an automobile tachometer which measures the working speed of an engine typically in revolutions per minute. And it revs up. We often see sudden destruction falling upon the wicked in the Bible. The unrepentant living during Noah’s time, experienced a sudden and catastrophic flood (Gen. 6-9). They had 120 years to repent as Noah preached to them, but they chose to ignore him and judgment suddenly fell (Gen. 6:3-7). Have you noticed that in 2020, everything has happened suddenly?...

"Thought by now, you'd realize-- there ain't no way to hide those Biden Eyes" Pretty politicians seem to find out early, How to hit on women for a quick SNIFF and swerve Senile old man he is... an exhibitionist Secret Service Ladys know he's a swimming perv. Late at night, crackhead Hunter comes with an injection To help his grifting Daddy keep his high. Daddy's glad to see him, and there's no rejection And all these years he never questions why. He drops cash brown bagged from Ukraine & China Daddy smiles and says "Here's the Deal"! There is no...

Back in the ’70s a local New York City sportscaster named Warner Wolf coined a phrase. “Let’s go to the videotape.” In doing so he was able to settle many a sports argument. By viewing tapes, people were able to see for themselves controversial plays and determine if officials were correct in their rulings. Today, with the internet, social media, and YouTube, the same holds true with politicians. Politicians, as they’re apt to do, can pontificate all they wish, but If they’ve been around long enough, there are videos of speeches, presentations, and actions they’ve made over the years which...

During the first presidential debate in Cleveland, Ohio Tuesday, Joe Biden falsely claimed that Dr. Anthony Fauci did not change his stance on the effectiveness of mask wearing. “Masks make a big difference,” said Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden. “His [Trump’s] own CDC said if we just wore masks between now- if everybody wore masks and social distanced between now and January, we’d probably save up to a hundred thousand lives. It matters.

What’s it like getting censored on YouTube? As a content creator, you might be wondering if freedom of speech is right for you. You’ll see what it’s like having the constitutional amendment called community guidelines trump the constitutional right called freedom of speech.

"In case you missed it, last night Joe Biden was cheating worse than Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France."

Others talked about it being a "big deal" and a "historic moment." Obviously, both candidates approached the debate knowing the significance of their performances. Both were ready, even raring, to go! Trump needed to defend his record and show strength; he did that. Biden needed to show that he had the mental ability to make sense and...

Can anybody capture the video of a train blowing its horn as Joe Biden is giving some lame speech in Cleveland today? It happens at the 10:29 ET (9:29 CT) time mark on Fox News Channel.

Democrat operatives must be panicking in the fallout of the first presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, considering the initial response from the Hispanic community. In Telemundo’s poll of Spanish-speaking individuals, a shocking 66 percent of them believed that Trump defeated Biden in the debate. Trump’s popularity among Hispanics has skyrocketed as the Black Lives Matter terror spree has devastated communities across the country. Democrats have either cheered on the orgy of destruction or looked the other way as countless lives have been destroyed nationwide by left-wing terror.

While California courts delay his trial on triple manslaughter and felony DUI charges. Last week, U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England sentenced Ismael Huazo-Jardinez to 15 months in prison for “possessing a firearm while being an alien unlawfully in the United States.” As U.S. Attorney McGregor Scott explained, “Huazo-Jardinez is a citizen and national of Mexico who has twice been removed from the United States and has not been granted permission to return. As an alien unlawfully in the United States, Huazo-Jardinez is prohibited by federal statute from possessing a firearm.” The prison-bound Mexican, as it happens, has yet to face trial...

Here's Exhibit A for how shameless PBS looks during the fall presidential election campaign. On Sept. 22, PBS "Frontline" aired a two-hour documentary on the presidential election called "The Choice," as it does every four years. The quick review: Donald Trump is a vicious "killer" and bully. Joe Biden is "Obama's trusted partner." It began with President Trump's hostile experts such as biographer Gwenda Blair, who said: "Donald's father's overall message to his children was ... compete; win; be a killer. Do what you have to to win." Narrator Will Lyman added Trump "was determined to live up to his...

There is nothing inherently inconsistent with the Senate blocking Merrick Garland in 2016 but confirming Amy Coney Barrett in 2020. But let’s make sure we’re using the right reasons in our arguments. The Constitution is clear: the President has sole power to nominate Supreme Court justices, and a President’s power continues not only until Election Day, but all the way until noon on January 20th—Inauguration Day. So, President Trump is not crossing Constitutional lines by nominating a replacement for Justice Ginsburg a mere 38 days before Election Day. Neither was it Constitutionally wrong for President Obama to nominate a Supreme...

CLAIM: Debate Moderator Chris Wallace claimed that President Donald Trump is ending “racial sensitivity training.” VERDICT: FALSE. Wallace, moderating the first presidential debate on Tuesday night, made a number of inaccurate statements in his questions to both candidates on the topic of race. One was the claim that President Trump is ending “racial sensitivity training.” That is simply not true Trump banned a specific kind of racial insensitivity training, which involves “Critical Race Theory.” As Breitbart News previously explained: Critical Race Theory is the idea that the major institutions of the United States are tainted by slavery and racism because...

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. This article was first published by the Gatestone Institute. The kidnapping, sexual abuse, and forced conversion of Christian women and girls in Egypt—a “particularly vulnerable group to exploitation” that is quietly living an “unimaginable nightmare”—is rampant with no signs of abatement.  This is the finding of a report published on September 10, 2020 by Coptic Solidary (CS), an international organization based in Washington D.C., that works to promote equal citizenship rights for Egypt’s Christian minority.  In its 15-page report, titled “‘Jihad of the Womb’: Trafficking of Coptic...
