The nodding lady of Trump's lane

Media, Democrats Melt Down Over ‘Nodding Woman’ From NBC’s Trump Town Hall

"If you watched NBC’s town hall event featuring President Trump on Thursday night, you probably noticed a woman in the background who at certain points nodded in approval at the answers Trump gave to the questions that were asked, including the ones from combative town hall moderator/Biden stand-in Savannah Guthrie.

"For those who missed it, here is the “nodding woman” at one point giving a nod and a thumbs up to an answer Trump gave on the economy:   Video . . . 

NBC repositioned ‘nodding lady’ Mayra Joli behind President during town hall without realizing she supports him  "It's clear NBC was ambushing President Trump with their "town hall" that was a live grilling by an activist journalist. But did they calculate poorly based upon a stereotype.". . . "But she wasn’t originally positioned there. Before the town hall began, a Caucasian lady was originally positioned there. NBC found Mayra Joli and put her in that prominent spot instead. Now, it would not be a stretch based on their clear bias against the President that they wanted to put someone in the spot very visible to the camera who would be against him. But they didn’t ask Joli, moving her solely based on her appearance. Joli is Black." . . .

Woman ‘nodding vigorously’ behind Trump infuriates and captivates town hall viewers, then she responds   "President Donald Trump naturally sparked praise and outrage during his NBC town hall but he also seemed to have some competition for attention during the night.

"While Trump crushed the event Thursday with NBC moderator Savannah Guthrie, deftly taking apart her liberal talking points, it was a woman sitting behind him in the audience of Florida voters who suddenly captured the adoration – and wrath – of viewers.. . .  Trump fielded one after another confrontational question as he fact-checked Guthrie and shut her down after she tried to accuse him of not condemning white supremacy. From topics ranging from the economy, the coronavirus pandemic, immigration and his Democrat critics, the president delivered his answers in the televised event which was held at the same time as an ABC town hall with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in Philadelphia.

"The woman to the right of the NBC screen during Trump’s responses, wearing a light top and red mask, gave her vigorous head-nodding approval to many of the president’s responses, setting off a liberal meltdown." . . .

Trump: We’re Not Just Running Against Biden, We’re Running Against The Corrupt Media  . . . "Trump held multiple campaign events on Friday and really took the fight to Joe Biden and the media. At one point, he brought up the Biden Ukraine scandal and knocked the media for ignoring it. He also slammed big tech for censoring the story."

 

Washington Examiner: Twitter and Facebook get into the news censorship business

"It’s official: Facebook and Twitter have joined Joe Biden’s presidential campaign."

Savanah Guthrie, Does This Sound Hesitant To You?At Trump Townhall, Guthrie Steps In as Debate Opponent

ABC silent after Biden town hall attendees identified as ex-Obama speechwriter, wife of prominent Democrat  "ABC is keeping silent amid growing criticism of its town hall with Joe Biden after two of the attendees who asked the Democratic nominee questions were identified as an Obama speechwriter and the wife of a prominent Pennsylvania Democrat. 

"One of the questioners was Nathan Osburn, who worked for the Office of Public Affairs at the Commerce Department under the Obama-Biden administration and at the Small Business Administration. " . . .

Donald Trump: We’re Running Against the Media and ‘Big Bad Tech’  . . . "The president spoke about new reporting from the New York Post about former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter pursuing lucrative foreign deals while his father was in office.

“ 'All of this is being covered up by the media and ‘Big Tech,’ Trump said.

"Twitter notably censored the stories published by the New York Post from their platform and Facebook took actions to reduce the spread of the information.

"“They talk about freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. There’s no freedom of the press,” Trump said.

"Trump added that for years he had heard complaints about the power of Big Tech, but he almost dismissed them because he was able to win the presidency in 2016 despite their opposition to his campaign." . . .

The Topics for the Final Presidential Debate Have Been Announced

WJ   "The topics for next week’s final presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden have been released.

"Trump and Biden, as of now, are expected to meet Thursday at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee.

"The currently embattled Commission on Presidential Debates announced Friday that the candidates will discuss leadership, the coronavirus pandemic, issues of race, families, national security and climate change."  . . . 

"Kristen Welker of NBC News, the moderator of the 90-minute debate, selected the topics.

"The debate commission called off the second debate after the supposedly nonpartisan body unilaterally decided to make the forum virtual.

"Trump declined such a forum, saying, “That’s not what debating is all about. You sit behind a computer and do a debate. It’s ridiculous. And then they cut you off whenever they want.”

"The debate was ultimately canceled after the moderator, C-SPAN host Steve Scully, posted a tweet last week publicly seeking the advice of Trump opponent Anthony Scaramucci." . . .

'Nodding woman' who went viral at Trump's town hall joins 'Hannity' exclusively

WATCH: NBC's Grotesque Town Hall Double Standard  "NBC has now hosted a town hall event for both presidential candidates, and to nobody’s surprise, yesterday Savannah Guthrie was several orders of magnitude harder on Trump than Lester Holt 

as on Biden last week.

"Guthrie was combative right out of the gate, almost immediately chastising the President for attending an event with gold star families: “Shouldn’t you know better?” "She spent much of the evening interrupting her guest, often to argue against a point assertion he’d just made.

"By contrast, softball players would be justifiably offended if one were to mention their sport in describing Holt’s questions for Biden. In fact, the majority of his prompts could be seen as setups for the Democratic nominee to go after his opponent. For example: “A recent poll said 65 percent of Americans think the President bears some responsibility for contracting this virus. Do you agree?”

"To see a back-and-forth comparison between NBC's treatment of Trump and Biden, watch the video below:"

Pro-Abortion Group Calls for Feinstein’s Ouster from Judiciary Committee after Amy Coney Barrett Hearings

 Mairead Mcardle "One of the nation’s top abortion groups is calling for Senator Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) to be ousted from her position as the Judiciary Committee’s ranking member after she praised the confirmation hearings on Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, calling them “one of the best set of hearings that I’ve participated in.”

  'The head of NARAL Pro-Choice America issued a scathing statement on Friday, a day after the last day of hearings on Barrett’s nomination concluded.

 '“Americans — whose lives hang in the balance — deserve leadership that underscores how unprecedented, shameful and wrong this process is,” NARAL president Ilyse Hogue said in a statement. “The Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein, failed to make this clear and in fact offered an appearance of credibility to the proceedings that is wildly out of step with the American people. As such, we believe the committee needs new leadership.”

 " 'On Thursday, Feinstein thanked Judiciary Committee chairman Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) for his “fairness” in leading the hearings. ' 'Mr. Chairman, I just want to thank you,” the California senator said. “This has been one of the best set of hearings that I’ve participated in. And I want to thank you for your fairness and the opportunity of going back and forth. It leaves one with a lot of hopes, a lot of questions, and even some ideas of perhaps some goo[d] bipartisan legislation we can put together to make this great country even better, so thank you so much for your leadership.”

Larry C. Johnson Interviews John Paul Mac Issac — The American Patriot Who Was Hired to Fix Hunter Biden’s Computers and the Rest Is History

 The Gateway Pundit   "This is the story of an American patriot, an honorable man, John Paul Mac Issac, who tried to do the right thing and is now being unfairly and maliciously slandered as an agent of foreign intelligence, specifically Russia.

"John Paul Mac Issac is not an agent or spy for anyone. He is his own man. How do I know? I have known his dad for more than 20 years. I’ve known John Paul’s dad as Mac. Mac is a decorated Vietnam Veteran, who flew gunships in Vietnam. And he continued his military service with an impeccable record until he retired as an Air Force Colonel. The crews of those gunships have an annual reunion and Mac usually takes John Paul along, who volunteers his computer and video skills to record and compile the stories of those brave men who served their country in a difficult war.

"This story is very simple–Hunter Biden dropped off three computers with liquid damage at a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware on April 12, 2019. The owner, John Paul Mac Issac, examined the three and determined that one was beyond recovery, one was okay and the data on the hard drive of the third could be recovered. Hunter signed the service ticket and John Paul Mac Issac repaired the hard drive and downloaded the data. During this process he saw some disturbing images and a number of emails that concerned Ukraine, Burisma, China and other issues. With the work completed, Mr. Mac Issac prepared an invoice, sent it to Hunter Biden and notified him that the computer was ready to be retrieved. Hunter did not respond. In the ensuing four months (May, June, July and August), Mr. Mac Issac made repeated efforts to contact Hunter Biden. Biden never answered and never responded. More importantly, Biden stiffed John Paul Mac Issac–i.e., he did not pay the bill.

"When the manufactured Ukraine crisis surfaced in August 2019, John Paul realized he was sitting on radioactive material that might be relevant to the investigation. After conferring with his father, Mac and John Paul decided that Mac would take the information to the FBI office in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mac walked into the Albuquerque FBI office and spoke with an agent who refused to give his name. Mac explained the material he had, but was rebuffed by the FBI. He was told basically, get lost. This was mid-September 2019.

American Thinker has much to say about NBC's disgusting anti-Trump "townhall"

 Somehow the Democrat "star chamber" inquisitions bring to mind this bit of history. Yes, people are indeed capable of these actions.

Help Wanted: A moderator who wants to moderate  "For a couple of days, NBC promoted a townhall session with President Trump.   So I sat down to watch voters ask questions... voters who were constantly interrupted by Savannah Guthrie!  In other words, the moderator insulted the voters by constantly asking the President question after question.

In response to the criticism, NBC’s Savannah Guthrie decided that she would be a shrill attack dog while questioning President Trump. While Grandpa Gropes was being verbally caressed by Stephanopoulos on ABC, the president was subjected to a barrage of ridiculousness from a partisan, agenda-driven shrieking harridan in the form of Guthrie. . . .

 Those two town halls? A textbook spectacle of media bias

They are enraged when we do not comply.  These people, Stephanopoulos, Guthrie and their colleagues in the mainstream media are enemies of the people. 

How The Mainstream Media Covered For Joe Biden . . . "Last year after President Donald Trump accused former Vice President Joe Biden of having direct knowledge of his son Hunter Biden’s affairs with a Ukrainian Natural Gas company called Burisma, the mainstream media dismissed the allegations as a mere conspiracy talk.  For a media that is intent on digging into, dissecting, extrapolating, and distorting every single utterance from Trump, this matter did not require any serious investigative journalism." . . .

One remark from one woman overhauled the energy at last night's Trump town hall  "If there were ever a time when a tide changed direction in a single political moment, it was at the Trump set-up with Savannah Guthrie. 

"For about 45 minutes Guthrie just jumped all over The Donald for every response he made to her or to a questioner." . . ."Trump, much to anyone's surprise did not flinch.  He never got angry, never called out this ridiculous one-sided hit job.  Any other politician would have wilted, acquiesced, or walked out." . . .

Savannah Guthrie being rude and disrespectful to President.

From the comments to this video that reflect my opinion:

• "She went into the town hall meeting ready to argue with the President. She insinuated that the President could have met with people while wearing a mask and that she wouldn't have a problem, but at some point you have to say enough is enough. The media has gone insane with the whole mask thing. In California Gov. Newsom has recommended wearing your mask in between bites while eating but has prohibited singing and recitation in churches even while wearing a mask. This is a power trip by the left. 22"
• . . . "This woman is awful and very unprofessional. I’m surprised that they didn’t bring in the A team for an event like this. But as I think about it, it doesn’t surprise me that they would bring in a hack like this, then they can stand back and say, “it wasn’t me”, while laughing at the mockery. The joke is on them, though, it just continues the downward spiral of the laimstream media and their growing insignificance."
• . . . "I disliked her after seeing her interview Nathan Sandmann in January of 2019 she was so biased and hateful to that young man that's when I decided I didn't care for her techniques she's rude she is not professional and I definitely don't like her"

Socialism Fails Every Time

Comrade Ocasio-Cortez has big plans for your dinner plate   "Listen up, worker ants, People's Commissar Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is once again, more than a little interested in what's on your dinner plate. She begins by lamenting what a classic food desert the Bronx is, discriminating against minorities because she couldn't find fresh basil at the local bodegas for a gazpacho recipe she was making at home." . . . "The urge to dictate what's on every citizen's plate is also what Hugo Chavez used to do, first commanding community rooftop gardens, which failed miserably, and then commanding the eating of rabbit. They don't have much food at all now in that hellhole, and the average Venezuelan has lost 20 pounds based on all the food shortages the command and control economy created, dictated from above, all for their own good. That's some diet imposed by socialism. Most of us would rather do our diets with fresh food, obtainable the market way.

Court refuses to reinstate student government leader removed for Catholic beliefs: It would trigger people

WND  "Jack Denton will get back his salary as student senate president for the remaining few weeks of his term. What he won’t get back is his job as student senate president.

A federal court refused to reinstate the Florida State University student to the position he was removed from because of his Catholic beliefs, saying it “could produce tumult and chaos.”

"U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor essentially ratified the heckler’s veto issued by the student government when it removed Denton (above) and refused to let him appeal his removal.

“ 'Some might say this only rewards the senate for its discriminatory and retaliatory action—that it allows students to ‘get away’ with violating Denton’s First Amendment rights,” Winsor wrote Thursday. “There is something to this point, to be sure. But the public interest considerations involve more than simply righting a wrong.”

"Because so many of Denton’s colleagues loathe him for stating Catholic beliefs in a private Catholic group chat, it’s unlikely the senate “could function well enough to deliver” on its duty to allocate student activity fees to student groups." . . .Full article here

Flynn’s Lawyer Files Motion to Demand Judge Sullivan Disqualification

 Denise Simon "Sidney Powell, the defense lawyer for Michael Flynn on Wednesday formally demanded the disqualification of U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan. Her position is that Judge Sullivan is “irreparably biased”. One would have to agree if they listened to the hearing last week, as she went on in her filing to include: Sullivan’s “contempt and disdain for the defense was palpable” at a hearing last week.

"During the hearing, Judge Sullivan even referenced President Trump’s tweets regarding the case and asked the defense team if he is supposed to consider those tweets in his decisions. This man is a judge…and he cant figure that out?

"Then there is the matter of Judge Sullivan’s surrogate. At one point he said: “If the executive wants to take Michael Flynn off the hook, he can pardon him”. It should be noted too that Judge Sullivan demanded to know if Sidney Powell has had conversations with President Trump. None of his business, right? When she responded with ‘yes’, Judge Sullivan demanded to know about the details of those conversations to which Ms. Powell replied, that those conversations are privileged. He told her they are not privileged as she is not a government employee….well she had to correct the Judge once again that many interactions with the President are privileged regardless of the employer. Powell did tell the court that she told President Trump to NOT issue a pardon to General Flynn, at Flynn’s request.

"Crazy eh?

"Sidney Powell’s Motion to Disqualify Judge Emmet Sullivan and Other Relief is found here.

"It is 82 pages. Just for reference, here is part of the Index of the Motion:

TABLE OF CONTENTS   

1. Judge Sullivan’s Immediate Disqualification is Mandatory………………………….

2. Judge Sullivan’s Prejudicial Statements and Conduct Have Become Increasingly Shrill,   Unprecedented, and Prejudicial—and Apparently Influenced by Extra-Judicial Sources……………………………………………………………………………….4

"Powell has also included in the motion tweets, citations and evidence including that from DNI John Ratcliffe.

Democrat Proposing To His Girlfriend Says He Won't Reveal Position On Adultery Until After The Wedding

 CNN-ish Babylon Bee   WASHINGTON, D.C.—According to anonymous sources, local liberal man Penn Millikers proposed to his girlfriend but has refused to reveal his position on adultery until after the wedding is over.

"The staunch Democrat said he wants the woman to marry him but won't reveal his position on adultery until the marriage is finalized.

" 'Listen, I love you, babe, but you don't deserve to know what I think about adultery until you say 'I do,'" he told her during a romantic dinner just after he proposed. 

" 'No matter how many times his girlfriend asked, Millikers refused to give a straight answer," said the anonymous source. "He said something like: 'Lookie here, Jill! If I tell you right now whether or not I plan to remain faithful to you, that would become the story! This is just a distraction! I think it's better to just get married first with no prenup. Then I'll tell you what I plan to do.'"

"Other things he refuses to reveal his position on include taking showers, putting socks in the hamper, going out drinking with the boys every night, and watching sports all day while he ignores his family.

" 'You'll find out my positions on these issues once we are married.' "

Fact-Check THIS, Twitter: At ABC Town Hall Joe Biden Says “Boilermakers Overwhelmingly Endorse Me” — But Boilermakers Endorse Trump

 The Gateway Pundit  "Last night Joe Biden told George Stephanopoulos at his ABC town hall and love fest that the boilermakers support him. 

"Old Joe told this open lie to George Stephanopoulos who refused to correct him."

"But of course this is a lie.
"The boilermakers overwhelmingly support President Donald Trump who actually brought their jobs back to the Rust Belt.

"Why would they support Joe Biden when they ALL know Joe Biden will ship their jobs and livelihood to China?
–Like he did for 47 years!

"Local 154 in Pittsburgh endorsed President Trump in September."

Biden’s Town Hall Answer on Police Reform Is So Ignorant, It’s Scary  . . . "One of his responses was just so incredibly clueless, it was more than a little troubling and makes one really afraid if this guy were to get into the White House.

"He was talking about his ideas on police reform, saying that police should deescalate situations. One way they can deescalate, he claimed, was that if “someone was coming at you” that you should “shoot ’em in the leg” rather than shoot to kill." . . .
