bonginoreport--2020-10-07--Tim Graham: Enough With Fraudulent Biden “Town Halls” on TV

Beware the carefully scripted puffball “ town halls ” that have been organized by CNN and NBC to help Joe Biden ’ s campaign .
As Biden makes a virtue out of having tiny , underpopulated “ campaign events ” for the TV cameras , these provide the fraudulent illusion of Biden engaging with undecided voters .
The questions are toothless and are designed to promote answers that impress the audience as thoughtful and measured .
The first words out of NBC anchorman Lester Holt ’ s mouth on October 5 were “ Good evening , everyone .
Welcome to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surrounded by dozens of undecided voters.
” Listening to the questions disqualifies that claim .
For example , Holt presented Ingrid Gilliam-Alexander as “ undecided but leaning toward Biden.
” She insisted Trump was “ bullying ” Biden at the debate , and “ I 'm worried that it knocked you off your game .
How do I know that you 're able to forcefully lead this country moving forward when being faced with unforeseen challenges and other bullies ?
” Surprise !
On her LinkedIn page , the questioner posted video under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ try this Holt introduction : “ Our next question from Cassidy Brown in Orlando .
Voted for the first time in 2016.
” Brown ’ s question ?
“ My youngest sister is in high school right now .
And I knew whenever I was graduating high school and entering college that I wanted to obtain my degree and start a career before starting a family .
Having access to birth control and safe reproductive health care was imperative in making that true for me .
So considering the new Supreme Court nomination @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your particular plans to protect women 's reproductive rights in the U.S. ?
” That sounds like a Planned Parenthood questionnaire , not an “ undecided voter.
” Sure enough , on her publicly available Facebook page , Brown posted a meme in 2019 from “ VOTE PROCHOICE ” and a protest sign that reads “ You ’ re pro-life until the baby is – poor , transgender , black , gay , Mexican , disabled , sick , etc.
” This is ironic since the “ right to choose ” is often @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
( Consult Gov .
Ralph Northam ’ s remarks on after-birth procedures . )
Or try Michelle Cruz Marrero , presented by Holt as someone who “ used to be a registered Republican , but voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
” She professed “ As a mother of a police officer , and the wife of a retired police officer , served 28 years , the term defunding the police is of concern and troubling ... With that being said , I would like to know what you and your administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how those will come about , how -- how they will be best handled to insure police officer safety and the public citizens ' safety as well.
” It turns out that Michelle Cruz Marrero can be easily found on Facebook with “ Cubanos con Biden.
” She ’ s no undecided voter .
After the event , she wrote : “ Biden was eloquent and I hope that this clarified all questions regarding the false narrative of 'defunding the police ' and that he seeks to reform the police and make it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to live in.
” The valentine continued : “ He is intelligent .
He is elegant .
He is poised and he has a plan .
He does not dismiss COVID and the future of our country rests on this election and a vote for Trump is a vote for insanity .
This country needs Biden .
We need Biden ... .
He will save America and he will restore the country we had before this monster took over.
” The proper description for this NBC `` News '' event is an “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like Larry King hawks Omega XL diet supplements and Prostagenix prostate pills .
Can we expect more of the same at the October 15 `` town hall '' debate , with a much larger audience ?

bonginoreport--2020-10-08--Gallup: Confidence in Accuracy of Upcoming Election Results Hits Record Low

American confidence in the accuracy of the upcoming election matches the low last seen in 2008 , a Gallup poll released Thursday revealed .
The survey , taken September 14-28 , among 1,023 adults , found U.S. confidence in the accuracy of the upcoming presidential election matching a record low , last seen in 2008 .
“ How confident are you that , across the country , the votes for president will be accurately cast and counted in this year ’ s election — very confident , somewhat confident , not too confident or not at all confident ?
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 59 percent , indicated that they are either “ very ” or “ somewhat ” confident , that is down from the 70 percent who said the same around the 2018 election .
Confidence varies drastically by party affiliation , with 74 percent of Democrat and Democrat-leaners expressing confidence but only 44 percent of Republican and Republican-leaners saying the same .
Much of the lack of confidence is related to the mass move to vote-by-mail , with 55 percent viewing absentee ballots arriving late as a “ major problem.
” A majority @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ people casting fraudulent votes ” as a “ major ” issue : Forty-seven percent of U.S. adults say that eligible voters not being allowed to cast a vote is a big problem for the election — much higher than the 25 % to 34 % range Gallup recorded between 2004 and 2016 .
Forty-five percent say that ineligible voters casting votes is a major problem , similar to the previous high of 44 % in 2008 .
The rise in concern comes as stories emerge out of states like New Jersey and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of mass mail-in voting .
In Virginia , for instance , the United States Postal Inspection Service ( USPIS ) is investigating after mail was stolen out of multiple post office mailboxes .
In New Jersey , thousands of voters received incorrect mail-in ballots , listing the wrong congressional district .
Similarly , over 2,000 L.A. County voters received ballots that were missing a section to vote for the office of the presidency .

“How confident are you that, across the country, the votes for president will be accurately cast and counted in this year’s election — very confident, somewhat confident, not too confident or not at all confident?” the survey asked.

Confidence varies drastically by party affiliation, with 74 percent of Democrat and Democrat-leaners expressing confidence but only 44 percent of Republican and Republican-leaners saying the same.
Gallup reported:
The 11-percentage-point drop since 2018 in the national figure on confidence in election accuracy is largely driven by a 34-point drop among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. The GOP’s current 44% level of confidence is the lowest Gallup has recorded for identifiers/leaners of either major political party in its trend dating back to 2004.
Much of the lack of confidence is related to the mass move to vote-by-mail, with 55 percent viewing absentee ballots arriving late as a “major problem.” A majority, or 53 percent, also view “people casting fraudulent votes” as a “major” issue:
Forty-seven percent of U.S. adults say that eligible voters not being allowed to cast a vote is a big problem for the election — much higher than the 25% to 34% range Gallup recorded between 2004 and 2016.

bonginoreport--2020-10-08--Army Opens Investigation Into Dem Senate Candidate Cal Cunningham

The U.S. Army Reserve is investigating Democratic North Carolina U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham , who is a Reserve officer , a spokesman said Wednesday .
The statement follows news reports that Cunningham , who is married and has children , had an affair this year with public relations consultant Arlene Guzman Todd of California , whose husband has served in the Army , according to published reports .
`` The Army Reserve is investigating the matters involving Lt. Col. James Cunningham .
As such , we are unable to provide further details at this time , '' Army Reserve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statement .
An Army document states that Cunningham is assigned to the 134th Legal Operations Detachment with the Army Reserve Legal Command and that he had deployments to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan .
On his campaign website , Cunningham touts that he has served as a military prosecutor .
The military prohibits adultery and other activities that it says are detrimental to the `` good order and discipline in the armed forces '' or bring discredit to the armed forces .
Soldiers can be prosecuted for it .
Cunningham is attempting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tillis , and the Tillis seat is one that the Democrats have fought hard to pick up in a bid to take majority control of the Senate .
Tillis was elected to the Senate in 2014 , beating first-term Democrat Kay Hagan .
In a statement Wednesday to the USA Today Network , Cunningham communications director Rachel Petri said Cunningham would cooperate with the investigation .
`` Cal will participate in this process , but it does not change the stakes of this election or the need for new leaders who will fight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instead of caving to the corporate special interests -- which is exactly what Senator Tillis has done in his years in Washington , '' she said .
After news of this affair and a possible second affair were made public late last week and on Monday , the campaign said this is a personal matter and Cunningham will not drop out of the race .
Cunningham had previously issued an apology for his actions .
Tillis , who is recovering from testing positive for COVID-19 , on Wednesday commented on Twitter about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under investigation by the U.S. Army Reserve .
He owes North Carolinians a full explanation , '' Tillis said .
`` The truth still matters in North Carolina , Cal . ''
The military does n't shy from enforcing its policy against extramarital affairs , said Tod Leaven , an Army veteran and lawyer in Asheville .
`` For officers , having an affair is an absolute career killer , '' Leaven said .
`` They totally enforce it , and everyone knows it . ''
While court-martials for adultery are n't common @ @ @ @ @ @ @ military 's prohibition on `` Extramarital Sexual Conduct '' can face less-than-honorable discharges , known informally as `` bad paper . ''
Leaven said the ban , which falls under Article 134 of the Universal Code of Military Justice , guards against servicemembers being compromised by the raw emotions and potential blackmail of extramarital affairs .
`` Affairs are so sensitive , and people do really , really stupid stuff to try to hide an affair and that could just jeopardize a unit , '' he said .
There have been prominent cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but these were in connection to allegations of other crimes .
Some of them : • Former Army Brigadier Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair was married , with two children , when he had a long-running affair with a young captain .
She later accused him of sexual assault .
This accusation led to his court-martial in 2014 .
Sinclair vehemently denied the assault .
He pleaded guilty to the affair and to having two other improper relationships .
Sinclair was reprimanded , fined $ 20,000 and demoted two ranks to lieutenant colonel .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ penalized his pension .
• Former Army Col. James H. Johnson III had an affair in Iraq with an Iraqi woman , committed fraud with taxpayer money to help her family , lived with her when he was stationed in Italy , and married her -- all while he was married to his American wife .
Johnson pleaded guilty in 2012 to fraud , bigamy , adultery and other charges , and a jury convicted him of two counts of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman .
He was demoted to lieutenant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then he retired , Stars & Stripes reported .
• Air Force Col. Eugene Marcus Caughey was to be tried on charges of rape , sexual assault , adultery and other charges in 2016 .
He committed suicide shortly before his trial was scheduled to begin , The Washington Post reported .
• David Petraeus , the well-known retired four-star general and former CIA director , had an adulterous affair with his biographer , Paula Broadwell .
Broadwell was an officer in the Army Reserve .
It 's not clear in published reports @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after Petraeus retired from the Army .
Petraeus pleaded guilty in federal civilian court in 2015 to a misdemeanor for illegally sharing classified documents with Broadwell .
The Army could have prosecuted Petraeus but chose not to , The Washington Post reported .
Broadwell told the New York Times that her promotion from major to lieutenant colonel was revoked .
'He should know military law' Leaven , who still supports Cunningham in the Senate race , was dismayed by the Democratic candidate 's actions , especially given that Cunningham was a military prosecutor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better than anyone else , '' he said .
`` If there 's an expert on the Universal Code of Military Justice , it should be Cal .
And knowing it , he still decided to take the risk , and that 's on him . ''
While Leaven said the Army Reserve ca n't create a double standard by approach the Cunningham situation differently , he does feel the policy against extramarital sexual conduct can be antiquated at times -- especially for members of the Army Reserve who spend most of their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how much private shortcomings impact their military performance .
`` I would say it 's a private thing , '' said Foryst Blackburn , a Vietnam War veteran in Wilkes County .
`` I do n't think a man 's personal life affects his ability to serve his country , but it 's sort of a black mark if they 're running for an office of some kind . ''
