  • Great Question.Assuming All Goes Well,Trump Wins,Does This Mean Hunter Biden Has To Give Back The Money?

    10/03/2020 3:41:27 PM PDT · by TealsGuy17 · 11 replies
    Now didn't we go through this scenario with Hillary? All these very wealthy leaders/VIP's from foreign nations giving the Clinton's millions and millions assuming that she was going to win the election in 2016? Is this what's going on with Hunter and the Biden family? So what happens should Joe Biden lose? Will all of these investors/and or leaders from a few European nations demand that Hunter send back the money?

    ..............After drilling into the stalagmites and pulling out cylinders of rock, the team could see an obvious transition between two layers. On one side were old minerals that were part of the original stalagmites; on the other were newer layers that had been laid down after the fragments were broken off by the cave’s former users. By measuring uranium levels on either side of the divide, the team could accurately tell when each stalagmite had been snapped off for construction. Their date? 176,500 years ago, give or take a few millennia.

    Last updated: September 23, 2020 Elections for 35 U.S. Senate seats will take place in 2020.[1] Ballotpedia has identified 16 races as general election battlegrounds. Of the 16 seats, four have Democratic incumbents and 12 have Republican incumbents heading into the election. These battleground seats were selected by examining the results of the 2016 presidential election in the state, whether the incumbent was seeking re-election, and whether the incumbent was serving his or her first term in the Senate. Race ratings from the Cook Political Report, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales were also considered. For more...

    This wishful scenario would be the equivalent of your baseball team down in a world series by 2.Count is 3 and 2,bases loaded,bottom of the ninth. And you need that home run to win. Now, what are the odds of Trump winning, keeping the senate and taking the house? This is what we all want. And what if Trump hits that home run? Anyone here wanna take a guess what happens in the stock market the next day? While we are all laughing at the Democrats?

    There has been a lot of discussion, especially here on FR, in disjointed threads on other topics. Would some of you who have commented on this please weigh in here. This is my understanding of the Constitution and Statutory Law that supports elections. *There is an "Election Day" stipulated in the Constitution. *States are on their own as to HOW they "certify" their electors *There is no Constitutional date given for when the electors must be certified. *In (I think) the 23rd Amendment the date for delivering the elector slates to the Joint Session of Congress to be counted (2...

    Odds are, we are also saying the same thing. We went thru this in 2016, when at some point, Hillary was ahead by 14 points in October. Yet, Hillary was never ahead of Trump from the time she entered the race. Biden was probably never ahead of Trump. No network would ever dare to give Trump his realistic/obvious 10 point lead. Just look at all of the latest polls/internal polling/what we are hearing on conservative radio programs. All guests/pollsters that call into Glenn Beck/Sean and the rest are all telling us they they expect a Trump win/and or another landslide....
  • Kamala's Recent Rant Over Trumps Handling Of Corona. Did Kamala Ever Hold A Press Meeting? Offer Assistance? Take Questions? Yet,She Beats Up On Trump?

    By now, we all probably heard what Kamala had to say about Trump. Guess she came out of hiding. Her ranting/complaining over how Trump handled the Corona Virus Debacle. Really? what about how Cuomo handled the Covid mess in New York? Yet, she did it alone, no press, no audience. Not interested in being challenged by reporters. And she is in line to be President? So, to my new friends here, maybe you can fill us in on what Kamala did to help stop the spread of Covid-19.

    Michael Denton: Fire-Maker Series – A Case for Design Editor’s note: We have been pleased to present a series adapted from biologist Michael Denton’s book, Fire-Maker: How Humans Were Designed to Harness Fire and Transform Our Planet, from Discovery Institute Press. Find the whole series here. Dr. Denton’s forthcoming book, The Miracle of the Cell, will be published in September. In the argument I have made in this series, pointing to the remarkable fitness of nature for fire-making, two caveats must be noted. First, the evidence that the cosmos is uniquely fit for beings of our biology and for our mastery of fire...

    The Conversation ^ | Sheetal Soni
    Researchers are racing against time to find ways to treat and prevent COVID-19. There is currently no treatment for the disease, and the World Health Organisation has created Solidarity, a global clinical trial which is testing four drugs as possible treatment. There are also more than 90 vaccine trials being undertaken worldwide, but it may take more than a year before a vaccine is developed. And there is currently a global shortage of COVID-19 testing kits. One of the methods researchers are exploring to combat COVID-19 is gene editing. Gene editing could potentially be used on the genome of the...
  • Culmination of an 18-Month Effort Will Spur Stronger U.S. Drone Industrial Base For Future Innovation

    The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), a Department of Defense (DOD) organization that accelerates commercial technology for national defense, announced the availability of five U.S.-manufactured drone configurations to provide trusted, secure small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) options to the U.S. Government. The announcement is the culmination of an 18-month effort with DIU’s initial work supporting the U.S. Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR) program of record for sUAS.

    On the Democratic National Convention’s second night, Joe Biden’s wife, Jill, took America inside her longtime marriage to the presidential nominee. These things usually strike me as schmaltzy and inauthentic — pre-packaged montages about political leaders and their families, their personal trials and triumphs, their “normal” lives, old photos of first starting out. But as much as we know Joe — indeed, he’s been in public office on and off for the past 50 years — we saw more of the Bidens than ever before. The life they rebuilt after the tragic deaths of Joe’s first wife and daughter, their...
