Trump, Critics Unload on ABC's Biased 'Angry Man' Stephanopoulos Before Crucial Biden Interview

 Bob Hoge – RedState  "Former Bill Clinton aide and now ABC host/Democrat apologist George Stephanopoulos may wish he didn’t take on the assignment of interviewing Joe Biden in the president's desperate attempt to salvage his foundering campaign. Stephanopoulos’ own history has come back under the microscope—and it hasn’t been pretty. 

"GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump took aim at the newscaster on social media Thursday, calling him “one of the worst and most vile Broadcasters in the business” and an “angry man”: . . . Donald Trump Truth Social

"He brought up Brian Ross, who was forced to part ways with the network in 2018 for reporting fake "Russia Collusion" news:

The meanest and most vicious Interviewer out there is George Slopadopoulos of FAKE NEWS ABC, one of the worst and most vile Broadcasters in the business — In fact, the home of disgraced “reporter” Brian Ross whose reporting on the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax was so outlandish that ABC, after defending him at levels not seen before, was forced to put him, and their reputation, out to pasture.

. . ."George may regret taking on his assignment because as all eyes turn to him, the world is being reminded of what a truly partisan, dishonest hack he is. Whether his interview is enough to save Biden’s reelection campaign remains to be seen, but don’t count on Stephanopoulos to be an honorable seeker of the truth." . . .

Michelle Obama's Team Shuts Down Presidential Rumors Again: 'She Will Not Be Running for President' | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft  "Despite being the top pick among potential Democrat presidential candidates, Michelle Obama has once again confirmed she will not be running for president

"The recent Reuters/Ipsos survey showed that if Joe Biden were to step aside, Michelle Obama would be the most likely candidate to defeat former President Donald Trump.

"The poll indicated that she would win over Trump with a 50 to 39 percent victory.

"However, the same could not be said for other potential Democrat contenders, all of whom Trump would best in a hypothetical race.

"Trump would outperform Vice President Kamala Harris (43 to 42 percent), California Gov. Gavin Newsom (42 to 39 percent), Michigan Gov. Gretchen Witmer (41 to 36 percent), Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (40 to 36 percent), and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (40 to 34 percent). The poll also suggested a tie between Biden and Trump, each securing 40 percent of the vote.

"Despite these favorable numbers for Obama, her director of communications, Crystal Carson, told Newsweek that the former first lady is not interested in running for president.

" 'As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president,” Carson said.

"This statement aligns with an earlier declaration from her office to NBC News, which aimed to quell speculations.

“ 'Mrs. Obama supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign,” Carson said." . . .


Michelle Obama Hears the Calls and Sees the Polls. Will She Boot Biden From Presidential Race? – PJ Media  
. . ."The speculation is not without merit according to a new poll. 
"Kamala Harris is a better-known quantity. She's held political office. She's one of the least respected and worst vice presidents America has ever seen. 

After slipping into the San Francisco District Attorney's Office under the, ahtutelage of married Bay Area kingmaker Willie Brown, she won the race for California attorney general by highlighting her Indian background. She was awful. Eventually, when U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer, herself not a MENSA member, announced her retirement, Harris jumped into the race and defeated a fellow Democrat on a ballot that featured recreational pot use. Harris sent people to prison for pot use during her stints as DA and attorney general.  She changed her position when she ran for president. 

"Harris is incapable of speaking extemporaneously. When she speaks, it's with a nasally tone that invariably settles into lecture mode." . . .

Woke New Yorkers whine about 4th of July saying America 'doesn't deserve a birthday party' - but newcomers have a different view

  Daily Mail Online

"Patriotism among liberals is extremely low, with recent polling from Gallup showing only 34 percent of Democrats claiming they are extremely proud to be American"

. . ."While it was mostly the young complaining about the state of the Union, a few older adults expressed similar sentiment. 

" 'I feel like America is going through difficulty right now, mainly because of the upcoming election,' said 85-year-old retiree Gino Musso.

"Steven Johnson Jr., 54, assistant Principal at elementary school in Charleston, North Carolina, and a combat veteran said he thought the world was 'on fire'. 

'It's almost watching our democracy unravel right before our eyes. It is very terrifying.'

"Despite many feeling unpatriotic this Fourth of July, others said they are proud to be Americans.

" 'I'm feeling patriotic, I'm actually feeling more patriotic than I expected,' Alonso Mayorga, 22, said. 'We need to focus on the core values and get back to those.' 

" 'I think America, one of the best things about it, there are lots of problems but everyone is free to speak their minds about them,' said Sahil Sen, 21.

"A Buddhist monk was also very positive about the U.S.

 " 'America is peaceful, and free for everybody,' he said. 

"According to a new ranking from WalletHub, Virginia - home of America's capital city Washington D.C. - is the most patriotic of all 50 states. " . . .

A cure for those with woke guilt would be to return Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom to the highest office available. TD

Joe Biden and Adderall

Joe Biden Took 'Adderall' Drug Before State Of The Union? Internet Abuzz US President Was 'High' Due To... (Times Now )   "President Joe Biden's energy during his final State of the Union address in the 2024 election shocked many. The 81-year-old leader spoke at great length for a straight 68 minutes without any major gaffes. The POTUS recently scored several self-goals by either forgetting or mixing up different things in his press conferences and speeches.

"The contrast seen in Biden's before and during State of the Union addresses sparked a row with many questioning on social media whether the US President took 'Adderall', a prescription medication used primarily to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. There is no credible report to suggest that the US President took such medications or, was he diagnosed with any of the disorders mentioned. However, users on social media including some prominent journalists suggested that Biden was 'high' during the SOTU.

" 'I heard a person on TV use the term "Cadaver in Chief" and I thought that was pretty accurate for the Adderall fueled rage which in no way, brought Americans together last night," a user wrote on X.

"Among the conservative well-known voices, Buzz Patterson, a columnist claimed that the President had a 'mental decline' and that he needed a cognitive test. "After last night’s angry, Adderall-fueled rant by Biden, it’s time to raise the question again. Why won’t he take a cognitive test. Trump took a cognitive test, why can’t Biden?" remarked Patterson." . . .


We go now to the leftist comfort channel, MSNBC for their anti-Trump/Fox takeFact checking Trump's Biden performance enhancing drugs debate claim (msnbc.com) Watch for terms applied for the purpose of inoculating you to conservative opinion of those critical of Democrats by using terms such as: "controversial", "with no evidence", ". . ."otherwise normal individual like Joe Biden".

"Why claims about Biden using performance enhancing drugs make no medical sense

The idea that drugs would improve Biden's cognitive functioning or debate performance is simply not supported by scientific evidence."
"This week we’ve watched a parade of Fox News hosts and conservative lawmakers argue with no evidence that President Joe Biden will be administered some sort of performance enhancing drugs prior to Thursday’s debate. “We anticipate that for this first debate he will be on something,” claimed Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, an Iowa Republican. Controversial GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas, who served as the official White House doctor in the Trump administration, said Biden should be drug tested. “I’m going to be demanding on behalf of many millions of concerned Americans right now that he submit to a drug test before and after this debate, specifically looking for performance-enhancing drugs,” Jackson claimed on Fox News." . . .

Biden's Interview on Philadelphia Radio Was a Total Disaster - Matt Vespa

. . ."Top donors are reportedly asking for refunds, unhappy with the operation’s Baghdad Bob undertones regarding claiming how Biden is the healthiest he’s ever been while ignoring and dismissing concerns about the president’s mental state. The guardrails around the president were supposedly so extensive that our national media was powerless to report on anything relating to the president’s mental health substantially. We all know that’s a classic liberal media excuse—translation: we didn’t want to damage a Democratic president."

 They Lied to You- Josh Hammer  . . ."But after last Thursday's CNN presidential debate in Atlanta, in which President Joe Biden delivered a catastrophic performance for the ages, there is only one conclusion: The yearslong effort by Biden administration flunkies, Democratic Party poohbahs and pro-Regime media stenographers to forcefully deny Biden's obvious physical and mental decline will go down as the single greatest lie in American history.

"And what an assiduous effort it was. For years, Democrats and the corporate media lied through their teeth about the blatant decline of the president's physical and mental faculties." . . .

‘The best Biden ever’ - Washington Examiner  . . ."On his MSNBC program Wednesday, former Republican Rep. Joe Scarborough launched an impassioned and aggressive defense of President Joe Biden — specifically, of Biden’s mental fitness to serve a second term as president. Scarborough’s performance was an attempt to show that the best defense is a good offense: In Scarborough’s view, the 81-year-old Biden is not only not declining cognitively, but he’s absolutely the best he’s ever been. And to majorities of voters, both Democrats and Republicans, who believe the president is not up to a second term, Scarborough had a simple message: “F*** you.”

"Scarborough said he had “spent a couple of hours with Joe Biden, sitting, talking, going around the world as far as talking issues, talking the economy, talking inflation, talking.” After those discussions, Scarborough came to believe that Biden “might misplace a word here or there” but is in fact really sharp. “I undersold him when I said he was cogent,” Scarborough said. “He’s far beyond cogent. In fact, he’s better than he’s ever been intellectually, analytically. Because he’s been around for 50 years.” . . .

Kevin McCarthy Reveals Biden 'Offers You Cookies' in Oval Office (Michael Luciano)   . . ."“I worked with four different presidents,” he said. “That Oval Office is always usually humming. Things are moving and going around at all times. And Biden’s Oval Office, it is the quietest place. No one’s around. The only thing, there are cookies. He offers you cookies every time you’re in there. And he goes and gets them. I mean, it is a depressing moment.” The former speaker went on to repeat his previous claim that every time he met with Biden, he “got a different Biden each time.”

“ 'And that’s the challenge they have,” he continued. “If he survives this, he is still in the same place, and it’s more time in between now and the election that he could actually get worse.”...

Senilitygate and Mrs. Alito’s Flags - Ann Coulter

. . ."No mention of presidents interning Japanese (FDR); expropriating gold from U.S. citizens (FDR); seizing the steel mills (Truman); using the CIA to spy on a rival’s political campaign, and the FBI to bug an opponent’s campaign plane (LBJ); bombing a foreign country on the eve of his scheduled impeachment (Clinton); or flinging open the border in direct violation of federal law (Obama, Biden)." A.C

  

"Can you imagine if The New York Times had covered the Biden White House as closely as it covered Justice Samuel Alito’s wife’s collection of novelty flags?
"The media’s playing Praetorian Guard for one party isn’t good for democracy, but oddly, it’s not even good for the Democrats. Biden’s open-mouthed, faraway stare at a nationally televised debate isn’t the first shock revelation to rock a Democratic candidate in the middle of a presidential campaign.
"Al Gore spent 20 years boasting about his service in Vietnam. “I took my turn regularly on the perimeter in these little firebases out in the boonies. Something would move, we’d fire first and ask questions later,” he told Vanity Fair, among other macho quotes. And then he decided to run for president, and we found out Gore had a personal bodyguard in Vietnam, the most dangerous weapon he carried was a typewriter, and he left after three months.
"John Kerry claimed to be a valiant, Purple Heart-deserving Vietnam veteran who spent Christmas 1968 in Cambodia “despite President Nixon’s assurances that there was no combat action in this neutral territory” — all dutifully reported in the press. Then he ran for president, and it was suddenly discovered that more than 280 Swift Boat Veterans for Truth called Kerry a liar, his purple heart was based on a self-inflicted wound that required the life-saving application of a Band-Aid, his boat was never in Cambodia, and Nixon wasn’t president in 1968.
"Right up until last Thursday, we’ve been assured by the entire media conglomerate that Joe Biden is the sharpest he’s ever been, “intellectually, analytically” — the words of MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough just last month.
"Then 50 million people watching the first presidential debate found out the leader of the free world barely knows his shapes and colors. About halfway through the debate, the stenographer typing out the closed-captioning committed suicide.
"Typical Biden sentence: “We’re able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with the with the COVID, excuse me, with, um, dealing with everything we have to do with, uh, look, if. We finally beat Medicare.” . . .

"If he's awake!" reporter's comment called inappropriate

'If He's Awake': White House Reporter Digs at Biden Nap Schedule (dailydot.com)   . . ."Biden’s sleep habits have long been a topic of discussion for Republicans: Former President Donald Trump refers to Biden as “Sleepy Joe.”

"But since the debate last week, more Americans have been interested in Biden’s demeanor throughout the day. Axios reported last week that Biden aides said he is at his best between 10am and 4pm.

"Before and after that range and when he’s traveling internationally, they said, “Biden is more likely to have verbal miscues and become fatigued.”

"And a New York Times piece about Biden’s debate prep noted that naps were scheduled daily for the president."




I'd say this is among the concerns James Rosen must have and KJP should be capable of addressing.

"I don't know about you, but I'm going to go to bed," he told reporters shortly before his microphone was cut off and slow jazz music started to play.
"Thank you everybody. This ends the press conference," Jean-Pierre interjected as Biden continued to mumble semi-coherently in response to a question about his meeting with former Chinese Communist Party boss Li Keqiang at last week's G20 Summit in India." . . .

The deliberate murder of virtue

  M.B. Mathews - American Thinker  

The deliberately organized salesmanship of perversity by trans and gay people has created a nation pocked with confused, debased, and psychologically damaged people. The promoters of this utter lack of virtue bristle when you tell their bearded faces that they are not women. 

"For decades, the American Left has been making a deliberate and successful attempt to kill virtue.

"Much of what they do demonstrates a disregard for normal traditional American virtues such as decency, consideration, productivity, respect, decorum, honor, and moderation.

"The truly virtuous would never dream of announcing their sexual preferences in public. The only reason to do that is to draw attention to yourself and your private parts. Every year, San Francisco offers a sickening public street festival called Up Your Alley for the gay bondage, discipline and sadomasochism subculture. If you dare to look it up (I cannot bring myself to include the link), beware. Just … beware. It's exhibitionistic, nauseating, and thoroughly unvirtuous.

"When a culture tolerates public parades which openly solicit nakedness with emphasis on genitals, you attempt to desensitize others to modesty and decorum. You have lost your moral underpinnings in favor of garnering attention for the sake of prurient attention. Why would any normal person want to display their decorated private parts in public if not to sensationalize nudity and shock the prudes? It is completely self-aggrandizing and reveals a deep neurotic insecurity.

"The Left have taken a careful and systematic approach to destroying American virtues such as hard work, modesty, humility, consideration of others, and planning for the future. In their places, the Left decided that it was virtuous to be demanding, slothful, narcissistic, godless, and sexually profligate.

"The Leftist virtue-killers think the government has its own money to give to them for doing nothing. Taking what belongs to others and lazing about the house and streets with it is not virtuous. It is theft; taxpayers pay for the progeny and sloth of these unvirtuous slackers. If the Left can remove time-honored virtues such as productivity and merit, they create a national movement where they can be taken care of by others without consideration for those who really pay. You get a nation of unvirtuous entitled slobs.

"The murder of virtue leads to hedonistic behavior across the board, which itself leads to chaos.

"The LGBT “community” has infiltrated schools in pre-kindergarten through adulthood. There was a relentless promotion of abortions in the name of “privacy,” and “reproductive health.” We tolerated it.

"They promoted homosexuality around the clock. We tolerated it in the name of “love,” but as a result, we got drag queen story hour." . . .

Big Lies About Israel

 Gatestone Institute

The "made-up" famine is just the latest in a long string of fabrications demonizing Israel's military operations in Gaza, which over the last months have been exposed as lies yet have received zero coverage in the media. 

For months, Israel has refuted libelous claims of famine in Gaza, as international organizations -- especially the UN and the EU, the International Court of Justice and mainstream media alongside NGOs such as Human Rights Watch -- pushed the false, malicious narrative that Israel was causing famine in Gaza and even using it as a "weapon of war." Pictured: A line of trucks in Rafah, Egypt carrying aid prepares to cross into the Gaza Strip on March 23, 2024.

. . ."The International Court of Justice based its March 28 order to Israel to increase the supply of humanitarian aid to Gaza on the IPC report. Israel was therefore met by a deluge of outrage and hate from the world community for supposedly causing this "famine."

In May, the World Food Programme (WFP) of the UN claimed, without a shred of evidence, that there was a "full blown famine" in Gaza.

Now, it turns out, it was all a big lie. There was no famine, there is no famine and Israel has not been using hunger as a "weapon of war":

In its report published on June 4, the UN's IPC concluded that famine was no longer even "plausible" and had no "supporting evidence." The UN has also admitted that until now there have only been 32 deaths in Gaza from malnutrition and 28 of those were among children under 5 years old. No one, however -- not the UN, or the ICJ, the NGOs or all the media outlets that magnified and distributed the lies -- has admitted that they were wrong. On the contrary, on June 18 the New York Times, claiming that Gaza "is facing extreme levels of hunger," continued spreading the lie.

The most recent IPC report, published on June 25, concluded that the supply of food to Gaza had, in fact, increased, not decreased, in recent months and that "In this context, the available evidence does not indicate that famine is currently occurring." '

By comparison, more than three million children in Sudan are acutely  malnourished, and a quarter of a million are likely to die in the coming months. By the UN's own admission, the war in Sudan is "the war the world has either forgotten or ignored." The irony of that statement has clearly been lost on the UN, which is probably the main reason that Sudan – and other conflict spots – is ignored: the UN focuses almost all its resources on Israel and Gaza.

"About 222,000 severely malnourished children and more than 7,000 new mothers are likely to die in coming months if their nutritional and health needs remain unmet," the Nutrition Cluster in Sudan – a partnership of organizations including the UN, Federal Ministry of Health, and NGOs including Save the Children – recently concluded. Overall, 18 million people in Sudan face starvation. Evidently, no one cares." . . . Full article here...
