Democratic VP nominee Kamala Harris (left), and Republican (incumbent) VP Mike Pence
So this Wednesday, 10-7-20, the two Vice Presidential candidates, Democrat Kamala Harris, and Republican (incumbent) Mike Pence are scheduled to square-off in their one-and-only nationally-televised, 90-minute Debate.
Under normal circumstances, most American voters would probably just blow-off this particular broadcast unless, of course, they had nothing else better to do that evening. This time around, however, both major candidates vying for the Presidency are at least in their mid-70s, so the proverbial law of probability might suggest that the winning President could meet Jesus before meeting the individual who’ll replace them in the White House on January 2025.
In all fairness to that last statement, Democratic Presidential challenger Joe Biden, if he wins on Nov. 3rd, would be entitled to serve for two, four-year terms since he’s never served before as a President. Biden, if selected, will also be the oldest individual to ever be sworn-in as President, he’ll be about 78 this coming January. There’s also numerous strong rumors on the campaign trail that Biden is experiencing, early cognitive decline.
On the other side of the aisle, President Donald Trump is currently 74, and as of this posting, is currently in Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington D.C., with a bout of COVID-19. After about the second day, Trump’s diagnosis doesn’t appear to be critical but he is in that vulnerable age range where a lot of people succumb to that virus.
Personally, I hope and pray that both Biden and Trump live strong, healthy lives till they’re about 120, or however long they want to go. According to Google.com , the average age of American males is about 81. Granted, both of these two guys have the absolute best Health insurance, and best Doctors in the world taking care of them.
But, as we all know, stranger things have definitely happened in this weird, bizarre experience we call, “life”, it might be a good idea if we watch and pay close attention on how exactly Kamala Harris and Mike Pence do on the World Stage this Wednesday night.
It should be noted here too, if the individual serving as President were incapacitated from performing their normal duties — i.e. Dementia — they could easily be replaced by their VP for the remainder of their term. Within the next four years, we could easily be referring to the Vice President as, “President”.
Forgive me for hinting at Age Discrimination here, but maybe the next great Debate we have is whether or not we nominate anyone over 70 for President to a major party? Just sayin
Correct The Record: Biden Makes 33 False Or Misleading Claims At The Debate
It clearly states in the Bible, in both the New and Old Testament, “All Men (and Women) are Liars” — But for someone to spew out 33 Lies in a 90-minute time span is really abusing the privilege. Hey Joe Biden — C’mon Man!
The first 2020 Presidential Debate between Democratic nominee Joe Biden and Republican nominee (incumbent) Donald Trump took place on Tuesday, Sept. 29th, in Cleveland Ohio. FOX News TV host Chris Wallace served as Moderator for the event.
BIDEN: “I’m not opposed to the Justice.”
FACT: Biden and Harris have both publicly opposed Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court, despite glowing reviews from the legal community and her colleagues.
Biden put out a statement in opposition to Judge Barrett’s nomination.
Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris, tweeted that she strongly opposed Judge Barrett’s nomination.
BIDEN: “There’s a hundred million people with preexisting conditions and [their insurance will] be taken away as well.”
Just last week, President Trump signed an Executive Order making it the official policy of the federal government to protect those with pre-existing conditions.
BIDEN: “So the thing that should happen is we should wait. We should wait and see what the outcome of this election is, because that is the only way the American people get to express their view, who they elect as president and who they elect as Vice President.”
FACT: History is on the side of filling the Supreme Court vacancy now, and Joe Biden previously said the President had an obligation to name a nominee, even in an election year.
17 out of 19 times the Senate has confirmed the President’s Supreme Court nominee in an election year when the President’s party controls the Senate as it does today.
Biden in 2016: “In my view, [Senators] are required to give the nominee a hearing and a vote.”
BIDEN: “We expand Obamacare and we increase it. We do not wipe any and, one of the big debates we had, with 23 of my colleagues trying to win the nomination that I won, were saying Biden wanted to allow people to have private insurance still. They can. They do. They will.”
FACT: Biden’s public option will crowd out private health insurance plans.
Biden’s government-backed “public option” will crowd out private health insurance plans, destroying the health care that 180 million Americans rely on.
One of the architects of Obamacare, Jonathan Gruber, said a public option would crowd out private insurance.
In 2009, Barack Obama admitted that a “public option” could crowd out private insurance.
BIDEN: “He’s been promising a health care plan since he got elected. He has none, like almost everything else he talks about. He does not have a plan. He doesn’t have a plan.”
FACT: President Trump has a health care plan.
On September 24, President Trump unveiled his America First Health Care plan, outlining the key policies and reforms the President supports, including protecting Americans with pre-existing conditions.
In August, President Trump released his second term agenda, which includes health care as a central focus.
TRUMP: “You agreed with Bernie Sanders to the manifesto and now you’re disavowing it.” BIDEN: “There is no manifesto.”
FACT: There is a manifesto, and Biden’s campaign worked with Sanders’ associates to write it.
The task force included socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Castro-sympathizer Rep. Karen Bass.
BIDEN: “What did he do? He went in, and he, we were insisting that the Chinese, the people we had on the ground in China should be able to go to Wuhan and determine for themselves how dangerous this was. He didn’t even ask [Chinese President] Xi to do that.”
FACT: The Trump Administration first tried to get American officials into China in early January; Biden didn’t call for sending experts into China until February 25, 50 days later.
This often repeated claim by Biden has been repeatedly debunked by fact-checkers.
CDC Director Robert Redfield offered to send CDC experts to China as early as January 4, and the issue was raised multiple times by Administration officials in the weeks after.
President Trump personally raised the issue in a call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
WALLACE: “But you and Senator Harris are saying you can’t trust a scientist.” BIDEN: “No, you can trust a scientist. She didn’t say that.” WALLACE: “She said they would be ‘muzzled and suppressed.’” BIDEN: “Well, that’s what he’s going to try and do.”
FACT: President Trump has listened to scientists and public health experts every step of the way.
FactCheck.org: “Biden went too far when he claimed that Trump ‘hasn’t allowed his scientists to speak’ about the coronavirus.”
TRUMP: “But he wants to shut it [the economy] down.” BIDEN: “No.”
FACT: Biden and his campaign have admitted that he would potentially shut down the economy again.
In August, Joe Biden openly said that he was prepared to shut down the country again.
Biden campaign spokesperson Symone Sanders admitted that Biden would shut down the economy again.
Biden surrogate Senator Chris Coons admitted Biden would shut down the economy again.
WALLACE: “The president says it’s a V-shaped recovery, you say it’s a K-shaped recovery. What’s the difference?” BIDEN: “The difference is millionaires and billionaires like him in the middle of the Covid crisis have done very well.”
FACT: President Trump is leading an unprecedented economic recovery that is benefitting all Americans.
The economy has added back 10.6 million jobs over the last four months, half of all the jobs lost due to the pandemic.
The unemployment rate fell to 8.4% in August and saw the second-largest one month decrease in U.S. history.
The stock market has rebounded, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq both recently achieving new record highs.
BIDEN: “He’s been totally irresponsible the way in which he has handled the social distancing and people wearing mask, basically encouraging them not to.”
FACT: President Trump has strongly advocated that Americans wear masks, and he has worn one himself many times.
In March, President Trump recommended that people could use a scarf as a mask.
In July, President Trump recommended that all Americans wear masks “whether they like the mask or not.”
In July, President Trump tweeted a photo of himself wearing a mask and said wearing masks is patriotic.
BIDEN: “[The Trump Administration has] done nothing to help small businesses. Nothing.”
FACT: President Trump’s Paycheck Protection Program was undeniably successful in keeping Americans employed and small businesses afloat during the pandemic.
BIDEN: “He pays less tax than a schoolteacher … This guy paid a total of $750 in taxes.””
FACT: President Trump has paid millions of dollars in taxes in 2016 and 2017.
President Trump paid millions in taxes during years that The New York Times falsely claimed that President Trump only paid $750 in federal taxes.
BIDEN: “The economy is busted.”
FACT: Before the coronavirus pandemic, President Trump built the greatest economy in American history, and he is working to bring it back.
Through the first three years of the Trump Administration, the U.S. economy saw nearly 7.3 million new jobs, higher growth, and a record setting stock market.
Workers saw higher wages, lower taxes, record low unemployment rates, and a thriving labormarket.
In just four months, the economy has already recovered over 10.6 million jobs, nearly half the jobs lost due to the pandemic.
BIDEN: “We inherited the worst recession short of a depression in American history. I was asked to bring it back. We were able to have an economic recovery that created the jobs you’re talking about. We handed him a booming economy.”
TRUMP: “[Hunter Biden] got $3.5 million dollars.” BIDEN: “That is not true.”
FACT: The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee recently released a report saying that Hunter Biden’s firm did in fact receive $3.5 million from the wife of the Mayor of Moscow.
Biden’s firm, Rosemont Seneca Thornton, received a $3.5 million wire transfer in 2014 from Russian billionaire Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow.
BIDEN: “Even before COVID, manufacturing went in the hole.”
FACT: Half a million manufacturing jobs were created during the first three years of the Trump Administration.
The economy added 510,000 new manufacturing jobs between President Trump’s Election and February 2020.
In 2018, the U.S. added 264,000 new manufacturing jobs, the best one-year total in 30 years.
The U.S. has added more than 13,000 factories under President Trump.
During the Obama-Biden Administration, the United states lost 192,000 manufacturing jobs.
During the Trump Administration’s first 37 months, manufacturing production grew at a rate 11 times greater than the last 37 months under the Obama-Biden Administration.
TRUMP: “I think it’s a party issue. You can bring in a couple of examples but when you look at Chicago, what’s going on in Chicago where 53 people were shot and eight died … If you look at New York where it’s going up like nobody has ever seen anything. Numbers are going up 100, 150, 200% crime.” BIDEN: “Republican cities.”
FACT: A vast majority of the most violent cities in the U.S. are cities run by Democrats.
17 out of the top 20 most violent cities in the United States are Democratic-run cities, including Chicago and New York.
BIDEN: “His own former spokesperson said, ‘you know riots and chaos and violence help his cause’ … Kellyanne Conway said that.”
FACT: Biden misquoted and misconstrued comments from former Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway.
Conway was responding to a question about something Biden supporter Pete Buttigieg said, falsely blaming President Trump for the violence occurring in Democrat-run cities.
In response, Conway said “The more chaos and anarchy and vandalism and violence reigns, the better is for the very clear choice on who’s best on public safety and law and order.”
BIDEN: “Look, what I support is the police having the opportunity to deal with the problems they face. I am totally opposed to defunding the police officers.”
FACT: As Vice President, Joe Biden oversaw cuts in federal funding for state and local law enforcement, breaking a pledge to increase funding.
Kamala Harris recently said a Biden-Harris Administration would “reimagine” public safety, which is the same language used by left-wing “defund the police” activists.
The Biden-Sanders unity platform’s proposed destruction of qualified immunity for police would financially eviscerate local police departments even further.
Biden cut police funding when he was Vice President.
Despite candidate-Biden’s promise in 2008 to fully fund the COPS program, the Obama-Biden Administration slashed COPS funding from $1.55 billion to $222 million.
At the time, police groups protested the Obama-Biden cuts, calling the funding reductions “simply irresponsible.”
Federal funding for state and local law enforcement fell during the Obama-Biden Administration.
BIDEN: “The fact is that I’ve gone head to head with Putin.”
In 2012, Biden mocked the idea that “Russia is still our major adversary,” saying Russia was “working closely with us.”
TRUMP: “…for cocaine use. And he didn’t have a job until you became Vice President.” BIDEN: “None of that is true.”
FACT: As was widely reported, in 2014 Hunter Biden was discharged from the military for cocaine use.
USA Today: “Biden, who had no prior military experience, was one of six officers commissioned nationally into the Navy Reserve public affairs division … Biden, 44, was discharged from the Navy Reserve in February.”
The Wall Street Journal: “Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter was discharged from the Navy Reserve this year after testing positive for cocaine.”
BIDEN: “The way you talk about the military, the way you talk about them being losers and being ah- and just being suckers.”
FACT: At least 14 officials who were on the trip to France with President Trump have gone on the record to refute the anonymous sources and allegations in The Atlantic article.
Karem: “Again, this is 100% false. I was next to @POTUS the whole day! The President was greatly disappointed when told we couldn’t fly there. He was incredibly eager to honor our Fallen Heroes.”
John Bolton, former National Security Advisor: “‘I didn’t hear that,’ Mr. Bolton said in an interview. ‘I’m not saying he didn’t say them later in the day or another time but I was there for that discussion.’”
Stephen Miller, White House Senior Adviser: The accusation is a “despicable lie … The president deeply wanted to attend the memorial event in question and was deeply displeased by the bad weather call.”
Derek Lyons, Staff Secretary and Counselor to the President: “I was with the President the morning after the scheduled visit. He was extremely disappointed that arrangements could not be made to get him to the site, and that the trip had been cancelled.”
First Lady Melania Trump: “@TheAtlantic story is not true. It has become a very dangerous time when anonymous sources are believed above all else, & no one knows their motivation. This is not journalism – It is activism. And it is a disservice to the people of our great nation.”
Jamie McCourt, U.S. Ambassador to France and Monaco: “In my presence, POTUS has NEVER denigrated any member of the U.S. military or anyone in service to our country. And he certainly did not that day, either. Let me add, he was devastated to not be able to go to the cemetery at Belleau Wood. In fact, the next day, he attended and spoke at the ceremony in Suresnes in the pouring rain.”
Major General William Matz (ret.), Secretary of the American Battle Monuments Commission: “I was the host of the event discussed by the false and despicable article published in The Atlantic magazine on 3 September. On 10 November 2018, I was at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery awaiting the arrival of President Trump. As a former Army infantryman who has flown on many helicopters, I knew that morning the weather was bad and the ceiling was too low for a safe landing that day. When the President’s visit was appropriately canceled due to weather, I received word also that he was upset he would not be able to make the wreath-laying visit and to pay his respect to the 2300 fallen soldiers and Marines interred there. … Those who know President Trump know that the anonymous smears peddled by The Atlantic have no basis in fact or reality, and do a terrible disservice to journalism and to our veterans, living and deceased.”
Additionally, The Atlantic’s reporting has been refuted by a White House email and Navy documents that directly show a “bad weather call” was the reason for the canceled presidential trip to Aisne-Marne cemetery in 2018.
WALLACE: “You propose $2 trillion in green jobs, you talk about new limits, not abolishing, but new limits on fracking. Ending the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity by 2035 and zero net emission of greenhouse gases by 2050. The President says a lot of these things would tank the economy and cost millions of jobs.” BIDEN: “He is absolutely wrong.”
FACT: Biden’s energy plan would cost trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Biden admitted he would willingly “sacrifice” “hundreds of thousands” of fossil fuel jobs in pursuit of his anti-energy agenda.
Biden has made clear – he wants to “end” fossil fuels, saying they would have “no place” in a Biden presidency.
Biden has said he would “love to make sure we can’t use any oil or gas, period” and that he would “make sure” fossil fuels and fracking are “eliminated.”
Biden has vowed that there would be no place for fracking in a Biden Administration, saying it would be “eliminated.”
Biden’s plan to ban new energy permitting on federal lands alone would threaten an estimated 268,000 jobs.
Completely banning fracking would destroy anywhere from 1 million to 19 million jobs.
Biden has proposed completely eliminating oil, gas, and coal from the U.S. power grid by 2035.
Prior estimates show eliminating oil, gas, and coal from the U.S. energy grid would cost anywhere from $4.5 trillion to $5.7 trillion, with an average cost of $35,000 per household.
BIDEN: “That is not my plan. The Green New Deal is not my plan.”
FACT: Joe Biden has embraced the Green New Deal in all but name.
Biden’s own climate plan on his website cites the Green New Deal as a “crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face.”
The Washington Post: “Joe Biden is embracing the framework of the Green New Deal in his bid for the White House…”
Inside Climate News: “In embracing it, he proclaimed his support for the central principles … of the Green New Deal.”
TRUMP: “What he did is he said, he called the military ‘stupid bastards.’” BIDEN: “That is not true.”
FACT: In March 2016, Biden called service members “stupid bastards” during a speech at Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates.
BIDEN: “You don’t have to solicit the ballot, it’s sent you—it’s sent to your home. What we are saying is, they are saying it has to be postmarked by Election Day. If it doesn’t get in until the seventh, eighth, ninth, it still should be counted. He’s just afraid of counting the votes because of the outcome.”
FACT: Biden is wrong that states with mass vote by mail require postmarks; Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court explicitly said ballots, even those without postmarks, will be assumed to be valid.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently ruled that ballots received up to three days after Election Day, even if they’re not postmarked, must be counted.
In Wisconsin, ballots that were not postmarked in time for an April 7 ballot-measure election were counted in some counties.
BIDEN: “[Judge Amy Coney Barrett] thinks that the Affordable Care Act is not constitutional.”
FACT: Judge Amy Coney Barrett has not expressed a view about the Constitutionality of Obamacare or about the current case pending before the Supreme Court.
BIDEN: “We have a higher deficit with China now than we did before.”
FACT: The trade deficit with China is falling and “fell sharply” in 2019.
BIDEN: “The fact of the matter is violent crime went down 17%, 15%, in our administration.”
One of my favorite YouTube blogs is some lady named Mandy, who runs something called, Body Language Ghost. A couple interesting points she brings out from the first Presidential debate is the fact that Joe Biden was probably wearing an earpiece because there were obvious points in this debate, which Biden was obviously looking away from either Donald Trump, Moderator Chris Wallace, or even the camera, and sometimes even talking like that. Also, sometimes when Biden was laughing during Trump’s comments would indicated that Sleepy Joe was, in essence, trying to squelch the Lie. Enjoy
Out of all the YouTube bloggers I happen to follow, nobody quite captures the actual essence of an event or issue as the one called, Liberal Hivemind. Here’s an EXCELLENT compilation of Highlights (and Lowlights) of the first Presidential debate last night between Trump and Biden — in less than 12-and-a-half minutes. Enjoy
This YouTube blogger, Conservative Resurgence has an excellent spin on Biden throwing out a lame excuse to avoid the inevitable embarrassment and humiliation of going up against Donald Trump, one-on-one, in a 90-minute nationally televised debate.
And then after Tuesday night, Biden will get to debate Trump again in two more similar type debates before the Nov. 3rd Election.
Personally, I think Biden will do ANYTHING POSSIBLE to shirk himself from actually facing Trump and OPENLY DISCLOSING HIS DEMENTIA PROBLEM to the whole world. For example, with about 42 days left till the Election, why doesn’t Biden hold Press Conferences with members of the Media asking any questions they want?
Granted, in his last debate with Bernie Sanders, Biden did much better than he did in his earlier debates, but he’s a complete imbecile if he assumes Trump is going to hold back any attacks in this type of candidate’s forum. If Trump didn’t show any Mercy against women like Hillary Clinton or Carly Fiorina four years ago, why would we expect him to hold back against a guy?
Also, a lot of Polls still show Biden with about a 10 point lead over Trump — a poor pathetic showing could reverse that statistic real quick.
Bottom Line: I’ll have my Popcorn and Fresca all set to woof down this Tuesday night, but if for some weird, bizarre reason ‘The Debate’ never quite takes place, I won’t be too disappointed.
Any questions regarding Joe Biden being as phony as a $3 bill? How about questions that he’ll be completely destroyed when he has to debate Donald Trump WITHOUT the use of a Teleprompter beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 29th? Oh well, enjoy
So this “Prediction” was Tweeted a couple days ago by that great actor, James Woods. I, along with a number of Conservative pundits, have made similar type predictions regarding Joe Biden’s upcoming Debate participation, on Facebook, as well as various other forums.
“Claiming to have been infected with the Coronavirus” just before his first scheduled debate against Donald Trump would give Sleepy Joe a great excuse to shirk his way out of debating Trump — which many pundits feel would be a COMPLETE DISASTER for Biden — but would divert a lot of attention away from his obvious “early cognitive decline”.
If you watched his last Press Conference, it was obvious that Biden staffers were providing “questions for select Reporters to ask”. As Trump said afterwards, the questions the Reporters were asking Biden were more like questions someone would ask a Child.
In a one-on-one debate versus President Trump, Biden just ain’t going to get that luxury. And if the debate moderator starts favoring Biden with obvious softball questions, that’ll just give more credence to Trump’s claim that most of the Main Stream Media is simply, “Fake News”.
Personally, I’d love to see Biden prove me, James Woods, and a handful of Conservative pundits 100 percent wrong by showing up and participating in all three scheduled TV debates against President Trump. Otherwise, how can any American citizen honestly expect Joe Biden to stand up and negotiate with Vladimir Putin, or the leaders from China, Iran, North Korea, or where ever, if he can’t even stand on a public stage and debate Donald Trump for a couple hours? Just sayin
So we’re within four weeks of “The Great Debate” between Joe Biden and Donald Trump and one of my favorite YouTube bloggers, Liberal Hivemind, has made a $1,000 bet with his Dad that Trump will definitely be reelected on Nov. 3rd.
A lot of things about Biden lately can logically draw people to that conclusion. The approximately 20 minute speech Biden made in Pittsburg on Monday was relatively incoherent, had ZERO mention of Antifa or Black Lives Matter, LIED about his previously made comments on Fracking and COVID-19, and then just proceeded to walk away from the Podium without answering any Reporters’ questions.
I guess Biden plans to visit Kenosha, Wisconsin after Labor Day but folks interviewed there said they really didn’t care to see him. Then he has a TV commercial out with Trump walking cautiously down the steel ramp at West Point, while Biden is walking briskly on a regular, flat surface saying, “You’ve got to struggle to keep up with Biden”, that’s hysterical coming from a guy who spend the majority of his candidacy thus far in his own Basement.
As far as the Debate itself, the ONLY way I can foresee Biden coming out of that thing looking, at least, somewhat respectable is if the supposedly unbiased Moderators interfere in the actual discussion on Biden’s behalf. Other than that, I can’t see how Biden will come out of those three debates against Trump without looking absolutely stupid.
I like the perspective of this blogger, Karlyn Borysenko, a former Liberal now Trump supporter, giving her two cents on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi advising Joe Biden NOT to debate Donald Trump. Basically, Karlyn doesn’t feel it’s Pelosi’s business on whether or not Biden debates Trump. My suggestion would be, let either Kanye West, or the Libertarian Presidential candidate replace Biden at the Debate versus just cancelling the whole thing. Much to his credit, Biden has consistently said that anxiously looks forward to the experience of debating Trump. To quote Karlyn in this video, I can’t wait!
It’s really fascinating to watch how the Main Stream Media seems to be insinuating that Donald Trump is experiencing “cognitive decline”, which his opponent for the Presidency this year, Joe Biden is hardly ever questioned about this despite being the one with the much more serious Dementia problem.
It’s almost as if, If too many American voters catch on to the Media’s blatant Lie, Donald Trump could wind up winning and being elected to four more years as our President — Heaven forbid!
But I love how this YouTube blogger, “Don’t Walk, Run! Productions”, breaks it all down for us. All of us will soon find out who has the REAL Dementia problem between Trump and Biden when they publicly debate each other on Tues., Sept. 29th, and then about two weeks later on Thurs., Oct. 15th. The final scheduled TV Presidential debate is set for: Thurs., Oct. 22.
One Bad Decision Away From Homelessness
