You know, there are college groups that like Kim more than they do the current president of the United States.


Kim Jong Un 'cannot stand up by himself or walk properly', North Korean defector claims amid rumours the dictator is dead or seriously ill
. . . "'I'm not quite sure whether he really had some surgery or whatever, but one thing is clear... he cannot stand up by himself or walk properly,' said Thae, a former North Korean diplomat who was elected to the South's parliament earlier this month.
"Seoul and Washington have played down rumours that Kim is gravely ill or dead, but Thae "said only the supreme leader's family and closest aides would know the truth." . . .
. . . "North Korea claims it has no coronavirus cases, but has cancelled some large events and imposed quarantine measures to head off an outbreak" . . . And Iran has no gays.

Q&A on the Wuhan Virus

Ann Coulter


"As you can well imagine, my mailbox has been overflowing with questions about the coronavirus from precisely ZERO readers. So I decided to write my own questions. I know this is what you would be asking if you were not standing in line, outside, 6 feet apart, to purchase a quart of milk." . . .
"What do you think of the media’s coverage of the Wuhan virus? . . .
"It’s like a nonstop “War of the Worlds” broadcast, which in 1938 panicked more than a million Americans into believing Martians had landed in New Jersey, sending people fleeing to the mountains, loading their shotguns and barricading their homes. And that was a single radio broadcast!
"Today we have nearly all of media — which I notice are doing fantastically well during the crisis — terrifying the public about an apparently indestructible, omnipresent virus." . . .
The shutdown is airport security for the whole country. Nineteen Muslim immigrants flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and suddenly little old ladies from Oklahoma had to be goosed at airports. We have to be safe!   A horrible Chinese virus sweeps the planet, which is devastating to older people but virtually harmless to the young — and the entire country has to be shut down. We have to be safe!

The media owe Brett Kavanaugh an apology. Where do he and his family go to get their reputation back?

At this point, there is insufficient evidence to say Biden is guilty. But there is abundant evidence that the news media are guilty of an appalling double standard. Considering their unwillingness to apply their standards to Biden, they owe Kavanaugh an apology.
Washington Examiner  "Without a shred of evidence that Brett Kavanaugh had ever even met Christine Blasey Ford, the news media decided the then-Supreme Court nominee was guilty of an unconscionable sexual assault four decades ago. Kavanaugh went overnight from being understood to be a consummate legal star, women’s advocate, and faithful family man, to being depicted as a sleazy drunkard and would-be rapist.
"Now, with the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, facing an accusation of sexual assault, the media are demanding that an accusation against a leading public figure should be supported by far more evidence.
"By any objective standard, the accusation from former Senate staffer Tara Reade that Biden sexually assaulted her is stronger than Ford’s accusation against Kavanaugh. This does not mean Biden is guilty and should be disqualified. But it does highlight the grave injustice done to Kavanaugh.
Hollywood tries to destroy
 Kavanaugh
"Ford did not tell anyone her story until nearly 30 years later, in a private therapy session. Her story changed a lot over time — from the number of people at the party where the attack allegedly took place, to the year it occurred. None of the people Ford said were there could recall the party, and even her best friend at the time, Leland Keyser, said she did not have “any confidence” in the story. To this day, there is no evidence Kavanaugh and Ford ever met.
"In contrast, it has been confirmed that Reade was a member of Biden's staff in 1993, at the time she claims he pushed her against a wall and penetrated her with his fingers. Several people have said Reade told them at the time of the incident or within a few years of it. In an interview, Reade said she told her mother (now deceased) about the incident at the time and that her mother called Larry King Live anonymously to mention it." . . .
'I believe Joe Biden': Stacey Abrams says alleged sexual assault of Tara Reade 'did not happen'  "Liberals like Abrams hated Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process for being accused of something with less evidence than what Biden is facing.
"To answer for that, Abrams said on CNN, "I believe then and I believe now that women deserve to be heard, and too often, they are not." Yes, I'm sure that's a lot of comfort to women who simply want to be heard and don't necessarily need action taken.
"To excuse that, Abrams said that "what was happening to Christine Blasey Ford is that there was no investigation."
"That's untrue. Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing was delayed four times for a seemingly endless series of investigations by both the Senate and the FBI. That's to say nothing of all the digging into Kavanaugh's high school and college years done by the New Yorker, the New York Times, and the Washington Post.
"Maybe Abrams should call for an FBI investigation into Reade's claims.
"What more did Abrams need? It apparently wouldn't have required a neighbor to come forward confirming Ford's account.
"Abrams doesn't care about #MeToo or about women or about sexual assault. She cares about being Biden's running mate." . . .

Biden Needs A Running Mate Who’ll Offset His, You Know, The Thing

Issues & Insights


     "Former Vice President Joe Biden is looking for a running mate for the November election. He’s getting plenty of suggestions. But just about anyone will improve his chances as long as the selection is more mentally capable than he is.
     "There’s no shortage of advice for the Democrat. CNN has listed “The Top 10 women Joe Biden might pick as vice president.” A media favorite is, of course, Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren. At least one cable host has campaigned for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. CBS reports that Biden is “challenged to pick a black woman.” Biden himself has said he’d pick Michelle Obama “in a heartbeat.”
     "Two things, though, we know for sure: One, Biden pledged to pick a woman. Two, he needs someone who can make up for his dismal campaign performances, in which he has the look of someone suffering from dementia and appears to be in sharp decline.
     "A little more than a month ago, we noted he had failed “his first attempt to look presdential.” In a speech streamed live from his home in Delaware, his delivery “was leaden.”
     “ 'He seemed tired,” we said. “He slurred his words.
     “ 'Worse, he repeatedly stumbled in his remarks, despite reading them from a teleprompter.”
     "The livestream was lowlighted by a string of words that made no sense.
     " 'And uh, in addition to that, in addition to that, we have to make sure that we, uh, are in a position, that we are, we. Let me go to the second thing.”
     "Earlier in March, Biden tried to recite a passage from the Declaration of Independence. But he lost his way. It came out thusly:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created by – you know, you know, the thing.”

From the party that adores Hillary and Bill Clinton and calls Ted "Chappaquiddick" Kennedy "the lion of the senate" comes Joe Biden

Rich Terrell
Biden's Neil Kinnock incident back in 1988 should have told us there was something not normal about the man's thinking processes even then. TD

Joe Biden: Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral?  
"I know what you're thinking.  He's an animal, obviously.  He threw a young staffer up against a cold marble wall in an isolated chamber of the Capitol's labyrinthine corridors and reached under her skirt.  When she struggled to free herself from the senator and managed to wriggle away, he angrily pointed a finger in her face and said accusingly and with a "tight" voice, "You're nothing to me.  You're nothing!" before leaving her disheveled and confused up against the wall and walking away.  What a monster!  What an animal!" . . . 
Stop Calling It A “Stutter” :  Here Are Dozens Of Examples Of Biden’s Dementia Symptoms  Via J.B. Shurk: Hat tip to Caitlin Johnstone, who has cataloged the video evidence of Biden's mental demise.

The Tara Reade allegations interrupt the fraud of Joe Biden’s campaign momentum. Plus a few items from hither and yon.
She’s miffed that her story didn’t make the rounds when there were 20 other candidates in the race. The guess here is none of that would have mattered. That party nominated Hillary Clinton, after all; it’s very clear that today’s Democrats don’t believe scandalous behavior is disqualifying in a presidential candidate. Sexual assault, corruption, treason, spirit cooking, Satanism — there is no limit to what’s acceptable so long as the basic political sacraments of wealth redistribution, abortion on demand, and obeisance to Beijing in matters of trade and culture are observed.
Biden's sexual assault problem gets worse, and he seems more senile than ever
. . . "The nightmare reached Stephen King proportions yesterday, when two women who knew Reade in the mid-1990s, not long after the alleged assault, reported that Reade had told them about the assault.  While the fact that she told them shortly after she left Biden's office does not prove that he attacked her, it certainly proves that she's not creating the story out of whole cloth today for some nefarious purpose.  By contrast, Christine Blasey Ford, a pro-abortion fanatic, first started telling the story about Brett Kavanaugh when he was touted as a possible Supreme Court nominee during the Bush presidency, decades after the event had allegedly happened." . . .
Michelle Goldberg, a New York Times writer known for using different standards for Biden and Kavanaugh, says the new evidence is a "nightmare" — not because a woman suffered at Biden's hands, but because it hurts Biden's chances at the White House:. . .

Columnists at Townhall have strong thoughts on Clinton's Biden endorsement


Beth Baumann: Tara Reade: If Biden Wants to Put My Allegation to Rest, Here's What He Will Do  " 'Believe all women." It's a drum the Democrats have continually beat, especially when it comes to Republicans. But it seems like no matter what happens, Democrats and the Democratic Media Complex pick and choose what women they want to believe. Just look at Tara Reade." . . . 
"Ever since she brought forth a sexual assault allegation against the former veep, the mainstream media has been silent. Even after a clip from “Larry King Live” in 1993 shows Reade’s mother calling into the show to ask for advice on her daughter's behalf, there was absolutely no talk of the clip on weekend news programs or Sunday talk shows." . . .

Hillary Endorses Biden During Silence on Tara Reade's Claims  
. . . "Given their years of friendship, and close work in the Obama administration, Clinton’s endorsement is not surprising. The timing on the part of Biden’s campaign, though, is curious; just as Tara Reade’s case becomes overwhelmingly credible, holding more substance than Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford’s case against Brett Kavanaugh, Clinton endorses the presumed nominee. Clinton’s favorability, outside of Democratic establishment circles, is underwhelming, to say the least. Biden already has the backing of Democratic establishment figures, and it is unclear what a public Clinton endorsement does for the former vice president electorally. The progressive faction of the Democratic Party, the voters that Biden needs to persuade the most, will not be excited about Clinton as a campaign surrogate." . . .


'I Will Not Be Smeared, Dismissed or Ignored': Tara Reade Rips Hillary Clinton's Endorsement of Biden  . . . "Despite her history of doing damage control for men in power, particularly Democrats, as Reade points out, Clinton claims to be a champion for sexual assault and rape victims. Clinton previously affirmed that women have a “right to be believed:”  . . .






Hillary Clinton says victims of sexual assault have a "right to be believed".Joe Biden is credibly accused of sexual assault by his former staffer Tara Reade.Today Hillary is endorsing Joe Biden.Does Hillary think Tara is a liar?







Trump complains that all he sees in all the TV he watches is 'hatred of me at any cost'

Hillary Clinton is a decrepit, hopelessly corrupt socialist crone who declared that Republicans were her enemies and was essentially treated as “Above the Law” by James Comey. John Hawkins
John Hawkins: Why Hate Trump When The People Attacking Him Are So Much Worse?
. . . "The mainstream media has disposed of all pretenses of impartiality to attack Trump non-stop; Trump supporters have been violently assaulted while the media shrugs it off; we’ve even had a congressman shot at a softball game by an angry, Trump-hating liberal who probably would have been given a job teaching at a university one day if he had lived and ever got out of prison." . . .
"The Republican Party is run by spiritless do-nothings who don’t care about anything other than their cushy jobs and taking care of the fat cats who pour money into their campaigns. The Democrats are run by malicious liberals who’ve never met a stupid idea that they don’t like. Meanwhile, the country is teetering on the verge of disaster.
"Donald Trump didn’t create this reality and the fact that he doesn’t seem to fit in is a plus to a lot of people, rather than a minus. There are plenty of reasons to criticize Trump and people should do exactly that when he deserves it. However, it’s time to take off the blinders. Trump has been surprisingly good on foreign policy and has done more good than bad on the domestic side. Don’t sell your soul to defend anything you find indefensible, but as Donald Rumsfeld once said, “You go to war with the army you have---not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time.” Trump is the army we have and it’s time to support the troops instead of pretending that they’re worse than the people they’re fighting."

Trump: 'Hatred,' 'Hatred,' 'Hatred,' “Hatred,' 'Hatred,' 'Hatred,' 'Hatred,' 'Hatred'
. . . "Trump singled out CNN for its “hatred” of him, which CNN White House Correspondent Jim Acosta denied. Trump responded curiously, telling Acosta to ask CNN President Jeff Zucker how he got his job as head of the network.
"Here are Trump’s eight accusations of “hatred” from Thursday’s contentious press conference: . . ."
“I don’t mind bad stories. I can handle a bad story better than anybody as long as it’s true and, you know, over a course of time, I’ll make mistakes and you’ll write badly and I’m OK with that. But I’m not OK when it is fake. I mean, I watch CNN, it’s so much anger and hatred and just the hatred.”
Trump complains that all he sees in all the TV he watches is 'hatred of me at any cost'


"President Trump is worried about the media, he tweeted late Sunday night, as Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and congressional leaders were furiously working to iron out differences in a massive coronavirus stimulus/bailout package. "I watch and listen to the Fake News, CNN, MSDNC, ABC, NBC, CBS, some of FOX (desperately & foolishly pleading to be politically correct), the @nytimes, & the @washingtonpost, and all I see is hatred of me at any cost," he tweeted. "Don't they understand that they are destroying themselves?"
"Republican pollster Frank Luntz pointed out that Trump, at least in the past, denied watching much TV and said he "seldom, if ever" watched CNN or MSNBC." . . . 
"Maybe Trump has broadened his buffet of news sources as president, or at least his "executive time" to watch and read the news. But sleep is good, too, especially when there's a dangerous new virus on the loose."

Hillary Clinton Admits She ‘Feels The Urge’ To Run For President: ‘I Feel the 2016 Election Was A Really Odd Time’

But then-candidate Donald Trump quickly tapped into an undercurrent of anti-Clinton sentiment among voters, parading out women who had in the past accused Mr. Clinton of inappropriate sexual behavior, egging on “lock her up!” chants at his campaign rallies and dubbing his opponent as the most corrupt presidential candidate ever.
Analyzing America  "In an interview with Variety magazine, former United States secretary of state and failed 2016 presidential Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was asked whether she ever “feels the urge” to run for president again.

" 'I know you’re not running for president,” Variety writes, “but do you ever feel the urge to think: ‘I could beat Donald Trump if I were running.'”
" ' Yeah,” Clinton responded. “I certainly feel the urge because I feel the 2016 election was a really odd time and an odd outcome.”
"Clinton continued, “And the more we learn, the more that seems to be the case. But I’m going to support the people who are running now and do everything I can to help elect the Democratic nominee.”
"According to The Washington times, a major Democratic fundraiser familiar with the situation said, “I fully expect Hillary to endorse Joe, and moreover, to play an active role in his campaign,” the donor said. “But this election is about the future, not the past.”
" 'When Joseph R. Biden’s top campaign advisors huddled to plot the rollout of key endorsements this spring, Hillary Clinton’s name flew under the radar,” The Washington Times added.
The former Democratic presidential nominee has gone from being the face of her party to being persona non grata among Democrats. 
"The Clinton brand took a devastating hit in 2016 after the former secretary of state made history as the first female candidate to be nominated as a major party candidate." . . .


What the misreporting of the Ukraine famine in the 1930s tells us about the press today

New York magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi question to President Trump Monday brought to mind the NY Times' Walter Duranty, propaganda shill for Joseph Stalin's USSR.

Jonathan Coulter

STARVATION DURING THE HOLOMODOR, IMAGE POSTED AT THE HISTORY COLLECTION, FROM A YOUTUBE VIDEO
"Seeing the film “Mr. Jones” set me reading several books on the Ukraine famine of 1932/33, the so-called Holodomor, that killed almost four million people.  The books were written by Anne ApplebaumTimothy Snyder and Dr. Margaret Siriol Colley, the niece of the real-life protagonist, Gareth Jones, who visited the Ukraine and revealed the famine. 
"The deaths were the result of Stalin’s policies, notably the collectivization of agriculture, the destruction of the so-called kulak class of family farmers, the forced requisitioning of surplus grain to feed an expanding urban working-class population and for export, and the deliberate suppression of the autonomous Ukrainian identity, which Stalin irrationally saw as a door to foreign invasion.   He pursued these policies relentlessly, overriding all objections and in the knowledge of the consequences, so we may reasonably describe them as genocide.
"The West’s reaction to Jones’s revelations reflects poorly on the 1930s mainstream media.  Fellow journalists and newspapers worked to discredit him, and his findings were hardly talked about for many years, only coming fully to light after the independence of Ukraine in 1989." . . .

Liberal Reporter to President Trump: Do You Deserve Re-Election After Killing 55,000 Americans?

LifeNews  "After some uncertainty about the future of White House Coronavirus Task Force briefings, Monday’s edition went off without a hitch in the Rose Garden and the questions were relatively fair and uncontroversial.
"That was until New York magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi was granted the final question and, despite the adoration from fellow liberal journalists afterward, she stood on the graves of Americans lost in the Vietnam War when she asked President Trump whether
She's perfect for CNN
he
 “deserve[s]” a second term since more Americans have died from coronavirus than the war.
"Here was Nuzzi’s question: “If an American president loses more Americans over the course of six weeks than died in the entirety of the Vietnam war, does he deserve to be re-elected?”
"That’s not a question but rather shameless, bad faith baiting that would make even the Chinese government mouthpieces blush.
"Reacting to Nuzzi’s nonsense, our friend Mark Levin tweeted that she was the “inaugural winner of today’s Walter Duranty propagandist award.” 
Predictably, Nuzzi was already beloved among media elites and progressive charlatans, but her snarky piece of hate and propaganda made her even more endearing.
"Nuzzi insisted afterward that it wasn’t a “gotcha” question, but when it’s a question that correspondents from CGTN or RT would ask, it’s not a good look.
"Oftentimes, Trump would unload on the reporter and trash them for their truly unhelpful and partisan questioning. This time, however, Trump was surprisingly calm.
"Trump started by insisting that while “we’ve lost a lot of people,” the projections aren’t anywhere close to the worst-case scenarios. Most importantly, he added that the current total (over 55,000 as of the briefing) was “far too many” and “[o]ne person is far too many for this.”
"Again refusing to lose his temper, the President touted his travel restriction from China (with the caveat emphasizing that Americans should have been allowed to return), and the task force writ large under Vice President Mike Pence’s leadership.
"Trump then concluded: . . .

Norwegian Psychiatrist Claims Joe Biden is Suffering From “Dementia”

"Says condition has worsened “at galloping speed." We must watch carefully who will actually have the reins of power in our nation, should Democrats win this year. 
Paul Joseph Watson


"Norwegian psychiatrist Fred Heggen claims that Joe Biden is suffering from “dementia” and that his condition has worsened “at galloping speed.”
"In an opinion piece published by Nettavisen entitled ‘Why Democrats are rallying behind a possibly demented candidate?’, Heggen, who is also a medical director at the Lovisenberg Diaconal Hospital’s psychiatric clinic in Oslo, says the presidential candidate is suffering from obvious cognitive failure.
"“Of course I may still judge him wrongly, but in my eyes he appears as a person who is already very affected by dementia. And the presidential election is still far ahead. What if his condition worsens further over the next two-three months?” Heggen asked.
"The psychiatrist asserts that Biden’s behavior at campaign events and debates over the past few months, characterized by “forgetfulness, mischief, confusions, gaffes, and aggression,” is indicative of someone who is beginning to struggle to perform basic mental functions.
"“This is not scare propaganda on my part. Everyone who has had experience with people with dementia knows that a deterioration can come quickly and have a particularly dramatic course,” Heggen wrote." . . .

This 2012 article from U.S. News & World Report:  Biden Unhinged! Vice President Joe Biden's smiles and laughter during the vice presidential debate made him look bullying and deranged. 
Last night, Vice President Biden's task was to turn in the performance Obama supposedly had failed to deliver the week before. Well, yes, as I say, if weird laughs, inappropriate smiles shot to Raddatz and moments of unhinged fury comprise your idea of the performance that Obama should have delivered, Uncle Joe brought it all home. But the fact is that between the president's much-maligned performance of debate no. 1 and the vice president's last night, Obama was clearly stronger. Whatever his inadequacies, he didn't look bullying or deranged, as Crazy Joe did.

The Most Racist People In America

RedState

"Who is the most racist group in America?
"Many would immediately point to “white people.” You hear about racism that occurs all the time, even if it didn’t.
"Thing is the people who guessed “white people” are absolutely correct, just not as correct as they think they are.
"In order to get the answer completely right, you’d have to dig a little further. The majority of white Americans aren’t racist at all. In order to find out who is the most racist you’d have to dive into the political affiliation part of the white population and after a bit of study you’d likely find that between Republicans and Democrats, it’s the Democrats who are undoubtedly racist but to be even more accurate, it’s the hard-left “progressive” bunch that really claim the title of “most racist group in America.”
"They’re guilty of racism for a number of reasons. One is the oftentimes overlooked “soft bigotry of low expectations” Democrats often force on minority communities. They don’t believe that if they remove their helping hands from their communities that minority communities will amount to anything.
"This is demonstrably false. As the Cato Institute pointed out, government intervention in communities has only caused their collapse: . . ."
