newspunch--2020-08-22--Joe Biden Faces Allegations Of Plagiarism Over DNC Speech

Joe Biden has been accused of plagiarising from the late Canadian politician Jack Layton in his nomination speech In his speech at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday , Biden ’ s final address included the lines , “ For love is more powerful than hate .
Hope is more powerful than fear .
And light is more powerful than dark.
” But Canadians say they have heard words before like that before… .
NY Post reports : Canadian media quickly noted that the former veep ’ s words were uncannily similar to those of Jack Layton , the leader @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Party , who issued a poignant open letter to his fellow citizens as he lay dying of cancer nine years ago Saturday , on Aug. 22 , 2011 .
“ My friends , ” Layton wrote , “ Love is better than anger .

Optimism is better than despair.
” “ A number of Canadians are struck by the similar parting words of Biden ’ s speech to the final words of Jack Layton ’ s farewell letter before his death , ” CBC ’ s Washington @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Layton ’ s message , meanwhile , had likewise used similar language attributed to former Canadian Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier , the National Post reported .
“ Let me tell you that for the solution of these problems you have a safe guide , an unfailing light if you remember that faith is better than doubt and love is better than hate , ” Laurier said in 1916 .
The differences between Biden ’ s language and Layton — and Laurier for that matter — were apparently subtle enough to escape the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democratic nominee ’ s campaign reportedly installed last year .
In 1987 , he withdrew from the Democratic Party ’ s presidential race in shame after he ripped off lines from UK Labor Party Leader Neil Kinnock in a debate — and even went so far as to claim elements of Kinnock ’ s family history as his own .

“ Plagiarism charge against Sleepy Joe Biden on his ridiculous Climate Change Plan is a big problem , but the Corrupt Media will save him , ” Trump tweeted at the time .

NY Post reports: Canadian media quickly noted that the former veep’s words were uncannily similar to those of Jack Layton, the leader of Canada’s left-wing New Democratic Party, who issued a poignant open letter to his fellow citizens as he lay dying of cancer nine years ago Saturday, on Aug. 22, 2011.
“My friends,” Layton wrote, “Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair.”
“A number of Canadians are struck by the similar parting words of Biden’s speech to the final words of Jack Layton’s farewell letter before his death,” CBC’s Washington correspondent Alexander Panetta tweeted at the time.
Layton’s message, meanwhile, had likewise used similar language attributed to former Canadian Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier, the National Post reported.
“Let me tell you that for the solution of these problems you have a safe guide, an unfailing light if you remember that faith is better than doubt and love is better than hate,” Laurier said in 1916.
The differences between Biden’s language and Layton — and Laurier for that matter — were apparently subtle enough to escape the $4,200 anti-plagiarism software program that the Democratic nominee’s campaign reportedly installed last year.
Biden’s cribbing habit goes back decades.

In contrast to Trump, Barack Obama, the president who promised change, actually provided more of the same. The former president can congratulate himself on being the first Nobel Peace Prize winner to bomb seven different countries back to the Stone Age.
The president who preached hope also kept the military-industrial complex in fine fettle, selling a record $115 billion in weapons to Saudi Arabia, the world’s most repressive regime, and destabilized entire regions, creating a vacuum in which terrorists thrived.
During Barack Obama’s presidency, the U.S. bombed seven countries while supporting other destabilizing military actions throughout the Middle East.
Here’s a look at these seven countries and the effects of bombing. MPN reports:
Afghanistan — Despite the announced “end” of the Afghanistan War, significant U.S. military presence in Afghanistan remains. Drones are a frequent presence in Afghan skies. One strike earlier this month killed 12 people, according to Iran’s PressTV.
Iraq — The Obama administration has conducted over 5,000 airstrikes in Iraq and Syria in just the past year, David Lerman reported for Bloomberg Business. Despite ongoing U.S. military involvement, terrorism continues to be a deadly presence in Iraq’s cities.
Libya — While the European Union and its allies carried out many of the airstrikes during Libya’s civil war, the U.S. was instrumental in destabilizing that country through both military aid and direct support, especially during the lead up to Gen. Moammar Gadhafi’s overthrow in 2011. Now ISIS is also gaining a stronghold here and the country has been described as a failed state.

newspunch--2020-08-23--Rose McGowan BLASTS Democrats, Clintons – ‘Joe Biden Is a RAPIST’

Outspoken Hollywood actress Rose McGowan blasted the Clintons and Joe Biden Friday night with an explosive tweet warning Americans about their “ evil.
” “ I was raped by a TOP Democratic donor .
Hillary Clinton shut down NBC ’ s exposé of HW [ Harvey Weinstein ] with one call from her spokesperson .
I strongly believe Joe Biden is a rapist .
[ The ] DNC [ Democrat National Convention ] had Bill Clinton , serial abuser of young women ( Epstein & others ) speak , ” McGowan tweeted .
“ You want me to be pro-Dem @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ever know about their evil .
You can hide behind your convenient morality .
I won ’ t ” McGowan bravely publicly accused Clinton-connected Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein of raping her in 1997 .
The far-left New York Times confirmed Weinstein paid her a $ 100,000 settlement , which McGowan claims was hush money .
What McGowan is referring to is the fact that Weinstein is much more than a Hollywood executive .
For decades , he was not only a major Democrat donor but also a close personal friend of both the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media would rather not report on .
Former first lady Michelle Obama described Weinstein as a “ wonderful human being ” and “ good friend ” in 2013 .
Breitbart.com reports : When McGowan says Hillary killed NBC ’ s exposé , she ’ s referring to Ronan Farrow ’ s Pulitzer-winning reporting .
Farrow ’ s reporting not only brought down Weinstein and helped launch the # MeToo movement .
Farrow credibly claims he had the Weinstein story locked down for NBC News ( including police audio of Weinstein admitting he groped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him the door , but only after Hillary Clinton leaned on him and NBC through her powerful publicist .
McGown , like a lot of people – at least anyone with an open mind who ’ s looked at the evidence – says she believes Tara Reade when she writes “ I believe Joe Biden is a rapist.
” Reade has credibly claimed Biden assaulted her in 1993 .
The evidence backing up that claim is mind-blowing .
As far as Bill Clinton the “ serial abuser , ” the DNC still allowed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sleazy connections to Jeffrey Epstein come more and more to light every day .
To the surprise of no one , Hillary also appears to be part of this .
So imagine you are Rose McGowan .
You ’ re the Ground Zero of the # MeToo movement and nothing ’ s changed , not a goddamned thing .
McGowan is the one who risked all the horrors that come with violating Harvey Weinstein ’ s non-disclosure agreement , and did so when he was still Harvey Fucking Weinstein , not an old @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She ’ s the tip of the spear , she ’ s the one who lost her career , she ’ s the one who burned all the bridges — and now — thanks in no small part to sellout ( and McGowan ’ s former charmed co-star ) Alyssa Milano , it was all for nothing .
Everything keeps right on keeping on .
Oh , sure , McGowan was a real hero when “ problematic ” men were being taken down , men who could easily be replaced , men whose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kavanaugh who are ideologically unacceptable .
Go Rose !
But Joe Biden ?
Whoa , whoa , whoa… Let ’ s not go crazy here .
We need him to stop Trump and we need Bill Clinton to make the case for him and Hillary is part of that package deal , so Crazy Rose needs to go away now… The same media , the same celebrities , the same Alyssa Milano that rode the # MeToo movement to ratings and prestige have now totally sold out .
Of course they have .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ or enough is enough , or rape — it was only about power , it was only about Alyssa Milano ’ s comeback… Tara Reade , Rose McGowan… They ’ re liars now , crazies , attention-whores… Just like all women who dare to accuse or speak out against any man needed to further the left-wing cause .

Outspoken Hollywood actress Rose McGowan blasted the Clintons and Joe Biden Friday night with an explosive tweet warning Americans about their “evil.”
“I was raped by a TOP Democratic donor. Hillary Clinton shut down NBC’s exposé of HW [Harvey Weinstein] with one call from her spokesperson. I strongly believe Joe Biden is a rapist. [The] DNC [Democrat National Convention] had Bill Clinton, serial abuser of young women (Epstein & others) speak,” McGowan tweeted.

“You want me to be pro-Dem? I know more than you will ever know about their evil. You can hide behind your convenient morality. I won’t”

McGowan bravely publicly accused Clinton-connected Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein of raping her in 1997.
The far-left New York Times confirmed Weinstein paid her a $100,000 settlement, which McGowan claims was hush money.
What McGowan is referring to is the fact that Weinstein is much more than a Hollywood executive. For decades, he was not only a major Democrat donor but also a close personal friend of both the Clintons and Obamas – something the mainstream media would rather not report on.
Former first lady Michelle Obama described Weinstein as a “wonderful human being” and “good friend” in 2013.
Breitbart.com reports: When McGowan says Hillary killed NBC’s exposé, she’s referring to Ronan Farrow’s Pulitzer-winning reporting. Farrow’s reporting not only brought down Weinstein and helped launch the #MeToo movement. Farrow credibly claims he had the Weinstein story locked down for NBC News (including police audio of Weinstein admitting he groped a model) and NBC still showed him the door, but only after Hillary Clinton leaned on him and NBC through her powerful publicist.
McGown, like a lot of people – at least anyone with an open mind who’s looked at the evidence – says she believes Tara Reade when she writes “I believe Joe Biden is a rapist.” Reade has credibly claimed Biden assaulted her in 1993. The evidence backing up that claim is mind-blowing.
As far as Bill Clinton the “serial abuser,” the DNC still allowed Clinton to speak, even as his sleazy connections to Jeffrey Epstein come more and more to light every day. To the surprise of no one, Hillary also appears to be part of this.
So imagine you are Rose McGowan. You’re the Ground Zero of the #MeToo movement and nothing’s changed, not a goddamned thing.
McGowan is the one who risked all the horrors that come with violating Harvey Weinstein’s non-disclosure agreement, and did so when he was still Harvey Fucking Weinstein, not an old rapist clunking around on a walker. She’s the tip of the spear, she’s the one who lost her career, she’s the one who burned all the bridges — and now — thanks in no small part to sellout (and McGowan’s former charmed co-star) Alyssa Milano, it was all for nothing. Everything keeps right on keeping on.
Oh, sure, McGowan was a real hero when “problematic” men were being taken down, men who could easily be replaced, men whose time had passed, men like Brett Kavanaugh who are ideologically unacceptable. Go Rose!
But Joe Biden? Whoa, whoa, whoa… Let’s not go crazy here. We need him to stop Trump and we need Bill Clinton to make the case for him and Hillary is part of that package deal, so Crazy Rose needs to go away now…
The same media, the same celebrities, the same Alyssa Milano that rode the #MeToo movement to ratings and prestige have now totally sold out. Of course they have. It was never about right and wrong or enough is enough, or rape — it was only about power, it was only about Alyssa Milano’s comeback…
Tara Reade, Rose McGowan… They’re liars now, crazies, attention-whores… Just like all women who dare to accuse or speak out against any man needed to further the left-wing cause.

newspunch--2020-08-23--Professor: Coronavirus ‘Not As Deadly As First Thought’ Govt Should Intervene To ‘Reassure The Popul

Professor: Coronavirus ‘Not As Deadly As First Thought’ Govt Should Intervene To ‘Reassure The Population’

Carl Heneghan , Professor of Evidence-based medicine at Oxford University has said that the Coronavirus is not as deadly as was first thought and the public fear that is stopping the country returning to normal is unfounded .
He says that said exaggerated fears over Coronavirus has led to “ people going about their daily lives misunderstanding and overestimating their risk ” and has called for the government to intervene to “ proactively reassure the population ” .
The Express reports : And he said introducing local lockdowns could do more harm than good by forcing people into their homes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live with them .
Professor Heneghan – whose work led to a lowering of the official death toll after he revealed Covid deaths were being counted even if someone had subsequently died of other causes – spoke as he released new data revealing the infection fatality rate had fallen from 2-3 per cent in the height of the pandemic to 0.3 .
He said if the downward trend continues the pandemic may end up no worse than a bad flu season .
Reasons for the fall , he said , could not only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because cases are continuing to drop despite society opening up .
Rather it was linked to better understanding of how to treat Covid patients , more testing – diluting the number of severe and fatal cases – the fact that more younger people are catching the virus and that the virus is circulating at a much lower level .
He added that the lower death rate comes alongside a drop in Covid-related hospital admissions .
Recent figures show there low numbers of Covid-19 patients being admitted despite infections having increased throughout July .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ positive for covid-19 each day and the true background figure is estimated at four times this amount .
However there are currently fewer than 50 daily hospital admissions for the virus .
Professor Heneghan said : “ We reset how we calculate the death rates .
We now need to reset how we communicate the risks of the virus .
I am concerned people have become overly frightened and throughout this pandemic , the fear instilled in people has been a real problem .
“ Many people misunderstand and overestimate their risk of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ highly anxious and affecting schools , offices and how we go about our daily lives .
The government needs to intervene to explain to people their true risks.
” He also called for an end to local lockdowns without better evidence of their need .
He said : “ We now have more data which shows the disease is not as deadly as we first thought , and despite coming out of lockdown and the small increase in the detection of infections in certain areas we have not seen a corresponding increase in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or deaths .
“ We have lost focus on the critical issue of the impact of the disease , and I don ’ t understand why this is the case .
It is becoming increasingly clear that lockdowns are harmful – during the lockdown ; for instance , we saw an increase in non-covid deaths .
“ And when we lockdown people are forced into their homes , potentially increasing the risk of infection to other vulnerable members where they are more at risk than in well ventilated public places .
“ We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and start using an evidence-based approach .
“ The lockdown policies at the moment in Preston , Oldham and Leicester have happened because more cases are detected as we have tested more in these areas .
However , an increase in infections doesn ’ t mean the disease is getting out of control as many of these cases will be asymptomatic or not serious .

“We have lost focus on the critical issue of the impact of the disease, and I don’t understand why this is the case. It is becoming increasingly clear that lockdowns are harmful – during the lockdown; for instance, we saw an increase in non-covid deaths.
“And when we lockdown people are forced into their homes, potentially increasing the risk of infection to other vulnerable members where they are more at risk than in well ventilated public places.
“We now need to rail back from opinion and start using an evidence-based approach.
“The lockdown policies at the moment in Preston, Oldham and Leicester have happened because more cases are detected as we have tested more in these areas.
However, an increase in infections doesn’t mean the disease is getting out of control as many of these cases will be asymptomatic or not serious.”

Forecaster Who Predicted 24 of Last 26 Elections Says Media Is Wrong, Trump Has 91% Chance of Re-election

While the mainstream media is attempting to convince America the November election has already been decided and Joe Biden is set to pick up more than 400 electoral college votes , a political scientist and election forecaster who has correctly predicted 24 out of 26 past presidential elections is giving very different information .
Professor Helmut Norpoth finalized his 2020 electoral prediction earlier this month , predicting that President Trump has a 91 % chance of securing re-election .
The political scientist and college professor is making his prediction on the basis of a model he has used to successfully @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elections , including the election the entire mainstream media got wrong : Trump ’ s victory over Clinton in 2016 .
Which should come as no surprise if you cast your mind back to the 2016 election and remember the media claimed Hillary Clinton had a “ 98.1 % chance ” and in some cases “ more than 99 % chance ” of winning the presidency .
Which of course was proved gloriously incorrect and proved the mainstream media are 1 ) more than capable of getting things completely , mind-bendingly wrong , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than the PR arm of the Democrat Party around election time .
How does Norpoth keep getting it right when mainstream media gets it so wrong ?
Rather than relying on notoriously unreliable polls , the Stony Brook University professor bases his electoral predictions on the hard data of presidential primary results .
Norpoth is pointing to a record breaking turnout for President Trump in the Republican primaries , and highlighting some of Joe Biden ’ s early struggles in the Democratic primary .
The now-Democratic nominee secured only around 8 % of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an unprecedentedly low figure for an eventual nominee .
“ People have forgotten how Joe Biden did in New Hampshire , ” Norpoth added during his interview with Stony Brook News .
“ He was terrible .
He got 8.4 percent of the vote , which is unbelievable for a candidate with any aspirations of being president.
” The only presidential election that Norpoth has ever predicted incorrectly was the hotly contested 2000 presidential election , which George W. Bush won over Al Gore by a razor-thin margin in the swing state of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the November election is the primaries , ” Norpoth told Fox News in July .
“ The early primaries are giving us a lot of information .
Based on that , Donald Trump won them very easily in his party .
Joe Biden , the likely nominee for the Democrats , had a great deal of trouble , pulled it together , but on balance is that stronger performance of primaries that gives Donald Trump the edge in November.

“The key to the November election is the primaries,” Norpoth told Fox News in July. “The early primaries are giving us a lot of information. Based on that, Donald Trump won them very easily in his party. Joe Biden, the likely nominee for the Democrats, had a great deal of trouble, pulled it together, but on balance is that stronger performance of primaries that gives Donald Trump the edge in November.”

The former speaker said voters need only to look at places such as Chicago , Seattle , and Portland – large cities run by Democrats – which have been experiencing chaos in abundance in recent months .
‘ Rioting every day for 90 days that begins to be a fact .
And it was very interesting to me that neither [ Joe ] Biden nor [ Kamala ] Harris was willing to say a word about Antifa , [ not ] a word about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
‘ You know , [ we ] have the mayor of Chicago announcing that she ’ s going to have police on her own personal street because she wants her family to be safe .

‘ Let the American people decide where the darkness is and who is creating it , ’ Gingrich wrote , referencing the on-going Black Lives Matter protests in Portland , among other cities .
