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: . . ."

Nancy Pelosi Endorses Joe Biden: ‘The Personification of Integrity’

Joshua Caplan


"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden for president, calling him “a leader who is the personification of hope and courage, values, authenticity, and integrity,” as the presumptive Democrat nominee faces a sexual assault allegation from his former Senate staffer, Tara Reade. 
"Pelosi, in a prerecorded video shared Monday to social media, praised Biden as a “voice of reason” with experience in helping enact legislation like the Obama administration’s 2009 stimulus program." . . .

Dangerous People Are Teaching Your Kids

Prager U.
"Dangerous people are filling the heads of young people with dangerous nonsense. Who are these people? They are what Jordan Peterson calls “the post-modernists:” neo-Marxist professors who dominate our colleges and universities. And here’s the worst part: we are financing these nihilists with tax dollars, alumni gifts and tuition payments. Time to wise up."

Gretchen Whitmer Sent Rude Texts to Michigan Senator Who Thanked Trump After Recovering From Coronavirus

RedState  "Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has become the leader everyone loves to hate but in America’s defense, she sure is giving people a lot of reasons to feel that way. "Especially after hearing from a Michigan Senator that Whitmer sent rude text messages to her after she publicly thanked President Donald Trump for helping her recover from the Coronavirus.
"Appearing on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Friday, Michigan State Representative Karen Whitsett told host Tucker Carlson that instead of sending her congratulatory texts about getting over the virus, Whitmer had sent less than kind texts to Whitsett over the fact that she applauded Trump for his promotion of hydroxychloroquine, which both she and her physician confirmed helped her recover from the virus.
"Not only has Whitmer been unkind, but Michigan’s Democratic Party is also looking to censure her for applauding Trump.
“ 'Why they would expel me is beyond words for me,” Whitsett said. “This is something that I did not expect, I started out with a simple thank you to the man that is the president of the United States. It’s a thank you, I didn’t know that thank you had a political line. I didn’t know thank you belonged to one political party over another, and that if you’re in one party you cannot say thank you to another person. I had no idea.”
"Carlson asked if it was Whitsett’s promotion of hydroxychloroquine that might have sent Whitmer and her fellow Democrats over the edge, but Whitsett believes it just boiled down to showing kindness to Trump and giving him credit where it’s due." . . .



A CNN journalist pens a fascinating insight into the left's dystopian worldview


Andrea Widburg  "On April 7, Bill Weir, CNN's chief climate correspondent, had a son.  Weir wrote an open letter to his son telling him he was born into Hell on Earth, also known as the modern Western world.  The letter perfectly encapsulates everything the left hates and wants to see destroyed.
"Below, in italics, are my summaries of many of Weir's pronouncements, followed by countervailing information." . . .
Read all the points and counterpoints here.


. . . "Aside from being wrong, Weir misses entirely that we live in an age of wonders and miracles.  Modern farming techniques mean that famine would be a thing of the past but for corrupt governance in third-world countries.  Our medicine is so advanced that we replace people's hearts, help the blind see, and make the deaf hear.
"We've wiped out epidemic diseases that killed by the millions and will soon do the same with COVID-19.  Most children born into Weir's hated West will live to a ripe old age.  Before modernity, 50% of children died before their fifth birthday.
"Weir is a tragic figure because he has eyes but cannot see.  The real tragedy, though, is that people like Weir, through the power of the media, drive too much of America's political agenda."
GRETA THUNBERG MEMES

Conservatives are beginning to note that many police are acting like leftists


Andrea Widburg "In ordinary times, there tends to be a commonality between conservatives and law enforcement.  Both are hostile to leftist efforts to decriminalize criminal activity, such as lifestyle crimes (urinating and defecating on the streets or public drug use) and low-level criminal activity (in California, any crimes resulting in less than $950 in damage).
"For that reason, conservatives are finding shocking the fact that, thanks to the orders leftist governors and mayors are issuing, law enforcement officers across America are engaging in bullying tactics more often seen in communist countries than in a constitutional America.  Conservatives probably shouldn't be so surprised." . . .
. . . 
"Dan Bongino, a former New York police officer, has tweeted out a plea to his former brothers and sisters in blue to remember who they are and what they represent:
To My Brothers & Sisters in Blue,
PLEASE, speak w/your fraternal organizations & speak out collectively against these outrageous orders to arrest Americans for exercising their Rights. We’re losing the support of people who’ve defended us in crises for years. This can’t continue.
. . . 

"Thankfully, not all police officers are falling into the tyrant's trap.  I wrote the other day about the Houston Police Officers' Union's stand against an order to arrest people not wearing masks.  CNN has also written (disapprovingly, of course) about law enforcement officers refusing to enforce government mandates they believe are unconstitutional, draconian, or unreasonable.
"CNN, as usual, is wrong.  The Constitution is the highest and best law in the land.  Those law enforcement officers who refuse to enforce ukases that directly and unsubtly violate the First Amendment are in the right.  Long may these men and women serve!"

"Prisoners should be let out, but citizens who go to the beach get locked up." . . .   That's all good with Pelosi
Unless protests and showings of civil disobedience continue to pick up steam, it is not likely that Americans will get their basic rights back following the coronavirus pandemic.
A shocking video has been posted on social media of a mother being hauled off in handcuffs from a playground at Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park in Meridian, Idaho.

It was posted on Facebook by activist Erin Whitt Timmerman and demonstrated how law enforcement officials will readily comply with unconstitutional orders.
