Florida-based political commentator Brian Craig talked about his podcast and other political news of the day.

Democrat Senator Ben Cardin, was caught on a C-SPAN hot mic telling Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg that Democrats will “most likely have to use reconciliation” on an infrastructure package as they did with the Covid relief bill. “Ultimately it’s going to be put together similar to how the Rescue Plan was put together… Most likely you’re going to have to use reconciliation,” admitted the Senator. “The Republicans will be with you to a point, and then…” Cardin said. Democrat Senators went around Republicans by passing the Covid relief bill through budget reconciliation, a process that requires only a simple majority...

The national media is reporting that "coughing, sick looking tired, worn out", Democrat, Joe Biden got only 4000 viewers on C-Span TV for a non rousing 13 minute speech!!! I guess the 81,000,000 votes that Biden claims he received for his 2020 POTUS election was a bit of a stretch!!! Ah...such is life in the Biden sick lane!!! LMAO!!! It will be most interesting to see the total TV numbers, which come out around 1:30 PM (EST) this afternoon...and it will also be interesting to see how many Biden supporters turn out for Biden and his two Democrat Communists running...

This is getting predictable. It should have been a great day for the “most popular Democrat in world history” after the 50 states put forth their electoral college vote today. But only 4,000 watched his big speech on CSPAN tonight.

Steve Scully got a clear vote of confidence last Friday, from a host of popular Republicans the morning after a tweet from his Twitter account sparked an outcry in the political media. Fox News Host Chris Wallace, Fox News analyst Karl Rove, former Trump White House press secretary Sean Spicer, former chairman of the RNC Frank Fahrenkopf, came to Steve Scully's defense. These comments did not age well, after Steve Scully admitted to lying. See their comments....

C-SPAN suspended political editor Steve Scully indefinitely on Thursday after he confessed to lying about his Twitter account being hacked following an exchange with former White House aide-turned President Trump critic Anthony Scaramucci. Scully was slated to moderate the second presidential debate between Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden scheduled for Thursday night. The Commission on Presidential Debates canceled the event Friday after the president declined to do the debate virtually after testing positive for COVID-19. C-SPAN announced last week it was conducting an investigation into the alleged hack. Scully had come under fire from the president who called him...

NEW YORK — C-SPAN suspended its political editor Steve Scully indefinitely Thursday after he admitted to lying about his Twitter feed being hacked when he was confronted about a questionable exchange with former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci. The news came on the day of what was supposed to be a career highlight for the 30-year C-SPAN veteran. Scully was to moderate the second debate between President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, which was canceled after Trump would not agree to a virtual format because of his COVID-19 diagnosis.

“Scully allegedly claims he was hacked, the burden is on him to prove it. Hopefully he hasn't lied to the FBI about it, as that would be a crime. The CPD was in a tough position, with its moderator being exposed as partisan and possibly deceptive,” Jacobson said. “CPD's precipitous actions in moving to a virtual format without consulting the campaigns, and then cancelling the debate, took Scully off the front pages, but destroyed CPD's credibility."

C-SPAN said Friday that its political editor Steve Scully, set to moderate the now-scrapped second presidential debate, didn’t initiate a questionable Twitter exchange with Anthony Scaramucci and that Scully’s account apparently was hacked. The tweet, which appeared Thursday on Scully’s Twitter account, read: ”@Scaramucci should I respond to trump,” according to a screenshot of the since-deleted tweet. Earlier Thursday evening, President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he thought Scully was a “never Trumper” who had worked for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden at one point. Scully served as an intern for then-Sen. Biden for a month...

C-SPAN host Steve Scully has been hit with a tidal wave of skepticism over his claim that a tweet from his account reaching out to former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci was the result of a hack. President Trump sounded off against the selected presidential debate moderator after the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) officially canceled the second debate. ".@SteveScully, the Never Trumper next debate moderator, got caught cold. Pulled out the old, 'I’ve been hacked', line. That never works. His bosses are furious at him as he’s lost all credibility!" Trump exclaimed. According to a statement from C-SPAN,...

C-SPAN host Steve Scully's Twitter account appeared to have been deleted Friday as the moderator for next week's scheduled second presidential debate faces intense scrutiny over a viral tweet in which he appeared to reach out to outspoken Trump foe Anthony Scaramucci.

Presidential debate moderator Steve Scully claimed through a statement by C-SPAN Friday that he believed his Twitter account was "hacked" after a tweet showing him reaching out to outspoken Trump foe Anthony Scaramucci went viral Thursday night. However, resurfaced tweets show that Scully has a history of blaming hackers for his social media posts. The "Washington Journal" host appeared to reach out to the former White House communications director, who has become a vocal supporter of Joe Biden, in the now-deleted tweet that read: "@Scaramucci should I respond to trump." Both the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) and C-SPAN have...

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox News @ Night,” White House Deputy Communications Director Brian Morgenstern reacted to a tweet from C-SPAN host and planned debate moderator Steve Scully’s account asking Anthony Scaramucci if he should respond to President Donald Trump’s criticisms of Scully by stating that Scully isn’t impartial and “that really calls into question, again, the Debate Commission’s judgment here.” Morgenstern said, “[I]f anybody’s having a bad week, it’s certainly the Presidential Debate Commission, with the way they’ve handled this. And now, their chosen moderator certainly seems not to be very impartial. The first one...

You want a reason for Trump to ditch the debates, THIS IS IT.

VERDICT: President @realDonaldTrump WINS ‼️ CSPAN: ✅ Trump (53% Trump; 29% Biden) Telemundo: ✅ Trump (66% Trump; 34% Biden) CNN: ✅ Trump (3 votes Trump; 1 vote Biden of decided voters) pic.twitter.com/eCaskcjTNk— Kayleigh McEnany (@kayleighmcenany) September 30, 2020

Here is the deal. Twitter probably uses machine learning systems to identify videos of child sexual exploitation. User @koenigjake said he tried to post “video of evidence on how Biden interacts with woman and little girls” but Twitter flagged him “for trying to post images of child molestation.” The fact he wasn’t able to respond suggests the automated filters identified the type of video ON UPLOAD. Also, if it were a manual review, it’s unlikely Twitter would label the video ‘child sexual exploitations.’ Read More...
