Biden’s Top 12 Running Mates, Ranked

"He says he’s going to pick a woman. So which woman should it be?"
"Joe Biden embraces social distancing for 2020 Presidential campaign."
Politico  "Joe Biden’s unequivocal declaration that his running mate will be a woman began the 2020 veepstakes with a brutal cut. There will be no consolation prize for Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg or Julián Castro. There will be no unity ticket pairing Biden with Bernie Sanders. Mansplainers and manspreaders, you can go home. Joe has binders full of women.
"Perhaps there has never been a more serious veepstakes than this one. Biden won’t say on the record that he would serve only one term as president, but he has given enough hints that many have assumed it. That makes his vice presidential choice the automatic frontrunner for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination and potentially the first female president of the United States. This is no time for your last-call, falling-off-your-bar-stool, so-crazy-it-just-might-work vice-presidential musings.
"Already, some names Biden has casually thrown out are nonstarters. Senator Jeanne Shaheen is highly accomplished as a former governor of New Hampshire, but Biden should not team up with a fellow septuagenarian. Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates is a fun name to bat around, but getting fired by Donald Trump is not a qualification to be a COVID-19 diagnosis away from being commander in chief.
"Beyond a plausible president, the 77-year-old Biden needs a running mate who can help him either win the critical Midwestern states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin or energize the more racially diverse generations of young voters, who could help not only in Midwest cities but also in swing states such as Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and Florida.
"Who can fit the bill? My rankings, on a scale from Sarah Palin to LBJ carrying Texas for JFK:"... .Full article...

Trump wanted to bury Biden after the primary. Now he can’t.
"The former vice president gets a reprieve from the Mitt Romney treatment."
"President Donald Trump’s top political advisers in recent weeks envisioned unleashing a massive advertising campaign against Joe Biden to define him for the general election before he had a chance to recover from the primary.
"Then the novel coronavirus arrived." . . .

Ilhan Omar Commends Trump’s ‘Unprecedented Leadership’ During The COVID-19 Crisis: “Incredible & The Right Response”

Has CNN mentioned this?

The Freedom Times


"Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar turned heads on social media Wednesday evening, as she issued praise towards President Trump and his “unprecedented leadership” during the COVID-19 crisis.
"The rare moment occurred when Omar, who is often critical towards the Trump Administration, responded to an observation made by a journalist over the President’s decisions and ideas to bring relief to Americans.
“Trump suspending mortgage foreclosures, demanding cash payments to Americans, now invoking the Defense Production Act to force private firms to produce needed supplies is incredible,” investigative journalist Lee Fang wrote.
"He added, “Kind of a shell shock for anyone who reported on any economic policies in the Obama years.”
"In reaction to Fang’s remarks, Rep. Omar replied with a hand-clapping emoji, “Politics aside, this is incredible and the right response in this critical time.”

Kellyanne Conway proves again she’s worth whatever Trump pays her

Instead, the media’s shrieking harpies spoke in one voice: Tell us how guilty the whole Trump administration is because an anonymous White House official allegedly made a joke that offended an Asian reporter.

Andrea Widburg  "The mainstream media are disgusting. That sentence could open every article about the mainstream media in a time of coronavirus. The media’s hostility to Trump is so extreme that there is no lie they won’t tell to damage him – never mind that doing so might destroy the American economy or cause other unimaginable harm to the American people.
"In addition to lies, the media’s other line of attack is to call everything Trump says or does “racist.” When it comes to the coronavirus, the media have a friend in the Chinese communist party that started this epidemic. The communists would also like Trump to be “racist,” because attacking him deflects attention from the Party’s disgraceful and deadly behavior in hiding coronavirus from the world to keep the Chinese government looking good.
"This anti-Trump bias had led to the latest media meme, which is that the phrases “Wuhan Virus” or “Chinese Virus” are racist. Naturally, Trump doubled down, for he now speaks only of the Chinese Virus. The problem for the media is that, just a month ago, used the words Chinese or Wuhan non-stop when referring to the virus. Reporters, therefore, know that they’re on shaky ground when attacking Trump on this point.
"The only thing to be done, of course, is to lie. In this case, the lie is that an unnamed White House official went beyond saying Wuhan or Chinese Virus. Instead, speaking to an Asian reporter, s/he called coronavirus the “Kung Flu.” " . . .

This video is a bit long, but shows Kellyanne at her best:

Whatever Trump is paying Conway, it’s not enough, based on that performance alone.

Lloyd Marcus: Scoundrel Time: Coronavirus brings out the ugly face of the left
. . . "CDC data confirms that the martial-law-light mandates steamrolling across America are disproportionate to the threat of the virus. Some governors and most corporations are responding to media-mob pressure to halt life in America. Others see an opportunity to land a death-blow to the Trump administration.
"Insidiously ignoring the CDC's no-need-to-panic-data, fake news media created and is gleefully fueling corona-madness. Using their huge bully pulpit, fake news media says anyone who dares to contradict their you're-all-gonna-die narrative will be dragged into the high tech public square, stripped naked, branded an irresponsible idiot with a hot iron and their career will be canceled.
"It is disturbing that there is practically zero pushback against governors instantaneously overruling our constitutional freedoms. Sadly, many youths are clueless regarding their constitutional freedoms. They grew up in public schools where progressive teachers taught them that the Constitution is an outdated piece of paper written by racist, sexist, homophobic, and Christian dead straight white men.
"We have far too many Bernie Bro youths who say, “If the government is going to give me free stuff, I am down with whatever controls government deem necessary.' ” . . .

Actress Rosanna Arquette Blames Jews For Coronavirus Outbreak In Twitter Rant

THE WEEK IN NERD


"Actress Rosanna Arquette is under fire from most corners of civilized society after she accused the nation of Israel of being part of a conspiracy to spread the COVID-19 virus, known as the coronavirus.
"In a tweet posted Tuesday, the 60-year-old actress claimed Israel has been working on a vaccine for coronavirus for over a year. She insinuated that Jews were essentially allowing the outbreak to spread to heighten profits from a potential vaccine.
"Arquette deleted the tweet within hours, after taking near-universal criticism. A screenshot of the tweet is included below.
"Apparently, Arquette is unaware that the term “coronavirus” applies to a family of viruses, many of whom have vaccines. However, COVID-19 does not have a vaccine or a widely-available test to diagnose it." . . .

"A History Of Disturbing Tweets

"Arquette has a history of outrageous tweets. She is an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, calling his presidency a “sick dictatorship.” He Twitter bio includes the phrasing “resisting fascism on a daily basis. silence is complicity. Green new deal.”
"Last year, she tweeted “I’m sorry I was born white and privileged. It disgusts me. And I feel so much shame.” She deleted the tweet after much ridicule.
"In addition, she has also tweeted that “The president of the United States of America incites racist violence. The end.' ” . . . Full article   Hat tip to Guardian Eagles
