wnd--2020-10-27--Retired general counters Biden laptop 'disinformation' claim

At Thursday 's presidential debate , Joe Biden boldly doubled down on the unsubstantiated , and frankly laughable , contention that Russia is behind the damaging emails found on Hunter Biden 's laptop .
`` There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he 's accusing me of is a Russian plant , '' said Biden .
The letter to which Biden refers , written immediately after the New York Post broke the story about the laptop , includes the signatures of the usual , politically motivated subjects : John Brennan , Leon Panetta , Michael Hayden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the letter contains pure speculation and expressly acknowledges there is no actual evidence of Russian involvement .
Current intelligence officials have confirmed the lack of any evidence .
And , we now have a retired Air Force general adding his voice , stating that he knows for certain that the laptop and its contents are real and are not Russian disinformation .
Retired Lt. Gen. Rod Bishop reported in an exclusive interview on my `` Hidden Truth Show '' this week that he is a family friend of repair shop owner John @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
The general recently completed a 34-year military career , including as commander , 3rd Air Force , where he oversaw all American air and space activities in the 93 countries in Europe and Africa .
He was the pilot who flew Hillary Clinton into Bosnia where she falsely claimed she faced `` sniper fire '' upon landing , which the general flatly disputes .
In the interview , Gen. Bishop states that JP 's family reached out to him in August of this year to potentially seek his help in bringing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ laptop .
According to the family , JP had turned the laptop over to the FBI because of the information he had discovered on it .
His motivation , according to the general , was the impending impeachment of the president being pursued by the Democrats .
In particular , he was responding to their claim that the resident had inappropriately leaned on Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in a July 25 , 2019 , phone call that had come to light in September 2019 and the transcript of which was released on Sept. 24 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reflected in the transcript , was , `` There 's a lot of talk about Biden 's son .
that Biden stopped the prosecution , and a lot of people want to find out about that , so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great .
Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution , so if you can look into it .
… It sounds horrible to me . ''
Trump called it a `` perfect '' phone call .
Democrats said it was evidence of Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dirt on a political opponent ( even though Biden was far from obtaining his party 's nomination at the time . )
JP had direct knowledge , through the emails he had seen on the laptop , that Biden had , as vice president , in fact secretly met with Burisma at the request of Hunter who sat on the board of the Ukrainian oil giant , which was the subject of the prosecutor 's investigation .
In the meantime , Biden was insisting that not only had he never met with Burisma @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discussed Burisma with Hunter , or any other business .
According to Bishop , JP made the obvious connection between emails on the laptop and the accusations against the president .
He discussed it with his father , Steve `` Mac '' MacIsaac , a retired colonel with over 30 years of service .
They agreed that Mac would contact the FBI in Albuquerque , which he did on or about Sept. 19 , to share the information about the Burisma emails and offer up the laptop .
The office expressed disinterest , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the highly political nature of the content , he should consider `` lawyering up . ''
Two months later , however , the FBI in Delaware paid JP a visit at his shop .
Oddly , they asked JP whether the laptop contained any child pornography .
JP said that he was not aware of any .
Neither JP nor his father had previously reported this , causing one to speculate whether Hunter was already under investigation for this .
The FBI returned on Dec. 9 , 2019 , this time with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investigation and took the laptop .
They did not disclose the subject of the investigation .
This was almost a full three months after originally receiving the report .
But that was too late , since just 10 days later , on Dec. 19 , Articles of Impeachment were filed against the president .
Among the most significant allegations was that Trump `` has persisted in openly and corruptly urging and soliciting Ukraine to undertake investigations for his personal political benefit . ''
Nonetheless , JP was confident , according Gen. Bishop , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his son had secretly met with Burisma officials would come to light , thus providing justification for Trump 's request for an investigation .
They never did , and Trump was in fact impeached by the House based on the charges .
Thanks to Senate Republicans , Trump was acquitted in the Senate on Feb. 5 .
However , 48 senators voted to convict him of the charge , including Mitt Romney , who became the first senator in U.S. history to vote to convict a president of his own party .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coming to light .
Biden subsequently became the Democratic nominee to oppose Trump for the presidency .
In August of this year , less than three months before the election , the emails that proved Biden had lied about his dealings with Ukraine still had not come to light .
Why had the FBI not shared the contents of these very significant email exchanges ?
JP 's uncle , Dr. Ron Scott , turned to his close friend , Gen. Bishop , for advice .
The general offered to reach out to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they may cover the story .
Separately , the family was able to get a copy of the laptop 's hard drive into the hands of Trump 's lawyer Rudy Giuliani .
Soon thereafter , the New York Post ran with the story provided to them by Giuliani .
Fox News began running the story the same day , noting it had independently verified it .
In a separate interview with Dr. Scott , he reported to me that soon thereafter his nephew JP began receiving death threats .
A backup of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ JP 's attorney .
Dr. Scott said he has personally seen its contents and they are as reported .
As for the Russians , Bishop reports he has zero doubt about the veracity of JP 's story , and that he knows of no more patriotic and loyal American family than the MacIsaacs .
As for Biden , despite all the evidence to the contrary , he is sticking to the 2016 Democratic playbook , asserting it again over the weekend on `` 60 Minutes , '' that , as Trump says , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Russia , Russia ! ''

The letter to which Biden refers, written immediately after the New York Post broke the story about the laptop, includes the signatures of the usual, politically motivated subjects: John Brennan, Leon Panetta, Michael Hayden and Michael Morell.
The problem is that the letter contains pure speculation and expressly acknowledges there is no actual evidence of Russian involvement. Current intelligence officials have confirmed the lack of any evidence. And, we now have a retired Air Force general adding his voice, stating that he knows for certain that the laptop and its contents are real and are not Russian disinformation.
Retired Lt. Gen. Rod Bishop reported in an exclusive interview on my "Hidden Truth Show" this week that he is a family friend of repair shop owner John Paul MacIsaac, known as "JP." The general recently completed a 34-year military career, including as commander, 3rd Air Force, where he oversaw all American air and space activities in the 93 countries in Europe and Africa. He was the pilot who flew Hillary Clinton into Bosnia where she falsely claimed she faced "sniper fire" upon landing, which the general flatly disputes.

Trump's controversial statement, as reflected in the transcript, was, "There's a lot of talk about Biden's son. that Biden stopped the prosecution, and a lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution, so if you can look into it. … It sounds horrible to me." Trump called it a "perfect" phone call. Democrats said it was evidence of Trump using a foreign power to dig up dirt on a political opponent (even though Biden was far from obtaining his party's nomination at the time.)

wnd--2020-10-27--Angus King vs. Amy Barrett: What a contrast!

Angus King is a liberal Democratic U.S. senator from Maine , elected in 2012 and serving since 2013 .
He claimed to have been a classmate of the late Justice Anthony Scalia in law school .
King made a speech on the Senate floor opposing the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court .
He said that he opposed her because the process of her confirmation did not follow tradition even if it was legal according to the Constitution .
Republicans did not wait for the voters to decide who they wanted to replace Justice Ginsburg .
Republicans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Obama-nominated Merrick Garland in 2016 because they controlled the Senate at the time .
Democrats do not control the Senate now .
King failed to acknowledge that difference between then and now .
If Democrats had controlled the Senate then , do you honestly think they would have waited for any election before they would have confirmed Garland ?
When King stated his real objections to Barrett , those objections displayed the real differences between how Democrats approach governing versus how Republicans approach governing .
Among other objections , King feared that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the words of the Constitution to make decisions that was used by Scalia .
King thinks that we need judges who will interpret the Constitution with a liberal approach , an activist approach where they consider many factors that are outside of the four corners of the contract , the U.S. Constitution .
King specifically criticized Scalia for stating that the amendment process in Article V of the Constitution is what makes it a living document , not by changing interpretations of the words .
King said that rulings by the Supreme @ @ @ @ @ @ @ changing values of the American people and that if the amendment process were used for every change that is needed , then thousands of amendments would make the Constitution unworkable .
Did Angus King understand what he said ?
Does he understand what the Founding Fathers did in the Constitution ?
The founders understood that thousands of amendments would make the Constitution unworkable , so they made it hard to make amendments .
Amendments require 38 of the 50 states ' approval to change it .
Therefore , only changes that satisfy a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only 27 in the last 230 years .
Ironically , allowing judges to change the Constitution by interpretation is what makes it unworkable , with thousands of such interpretations .
And change by interpretation negates the process of amendment that was agreed to be by the states that approved the Constitution as a contract between them .
It causes `` judge shopping '' to get specific kinds of rulings .
King thinks that the Supreme Court should reflect the changing moods of the electorate .
He thinks that judges should be allowed latitude @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so that the most current feelings of voters are reflected in court rulings .
He used a quote from Thomas Jefferson to try to make his point .
Do you understand what he said ?
He wants our courts to be subject to the mood swings of the population .
He wants to enable the `` tyranny of the majority '' that Thomas Jefferson warned against .
He opposes the republic that was established in our Constitution .
He wants mob rule even for our judicial system .
Hey , Angus , do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Bill of Rights ( the first 10 amendments to the Constitution ) ?
So that a majority can not undo those rights by democratic process .
We are not a democracy .
We are a republic established by contract between the states .
It is up to our judicial branch to protect that contract .
It is up to the legislative branch , not the judicial branch , to represent the voters .
Members of the House are elected for two years so that they have a short-term approach to legislation .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they have a longer-term approach to legislation .
Supreme Court justices are appointed for life so that they have an unencumbered approach to judicial decisions with no accountability to voters .
Apparently , Sen. King does n't understand that distinction .
This difference of strict interpretation of the Constitution and laws versus an activist approach is one of the big differences between conservatives and liberals .
Joe Biden said that he will put together a judicial commission to investigate how to make the judicial branch more accountable to voters and more balanced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the judicial branch is not directly accountable to the president or the Congress .
The president and Congress can not rework the judicial branch .
The judicial branch is separate and equal to Congress and the president .
Read Articles I , II and III of the Constitution .
Democrats think that they can `` pack '' ( expand ) the court with activist liberal judges to offset the conservative judges .
Maybe .
But Joe and the Democrats are so wrong about so much .
There it is .
Right from Angus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who want activist judges who will consider the fleeting mood and feelings of the culture and implement the tyranny of the majority .
So , are you willing to turn over the nomination of judges to Democrats by giving them control of the White House and the Senate ?
Are you ?

Hey, Angus, do you understand why the Founding Fathers created a Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments to the Constitution)? So that a majority cannot undo those rights by democratic process.

It is up to the legislative branch, not the judicial branch, to represent the voters.

Supreme Court justices are appointed for life so that they have an unencumbered approach to judicial decisions with no accountability to voters. Apparently, Sen. King doesn't understand that distinction.
This difference of strict interpretation of the Constitution and laws versus an activist approach is one of the big differences between conservatives and liberals.
Joe Biden said that he will put together a judicial commission to investigate how to make the judicial branch more accountable to voters and more balanced in its political approach.
Joe, the judicial branch is not directly accountable to the president or the Congress. The president and Congress cannot rework the judicial branch. The judicial branch is separate and equal to Congress and the president. Read Articles I, II and III of the Constitution. Democrats think that they can "pack" (expand) the court with activist liberal judges to offset the conservative judges. Maybe. But Joe and the Democrats are so wrong about so much.
There it is. Right from Angus King and Joe Biden, Liberal Democrats who want activist judges who will consider the fleeting mood and feelings of the culture and implement the tyranny of the majority.
So, are you willing to turn over the nomination of judges to Democrats by giving them control of the White House and the Senate? Are you?


The Great COVID Lie

Until COVID-19 hit , President Donald Trump was on a glide path to reelection .
On domestic policy , Trump 's tax and regulatory cuts spurred the economy to heights unseen in 50 years ; his Department of Education cracked down on the star-chamber courts applied on college campuses in cases of alleged sexual misconduct ; he has appointed scores of well-qualified constitutionalist judges , including three Supreme Court justices .
On foreign policy , Trump is the first president of my lifetime not to enter any foreign wars ; he has brokered historic peace deals in the Middle East @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has stood up to Chinese predations in unprecedented ways .
If this election had been held in February , Trump likely would have won .
And he likely would have won rather easily .
That 's because Trump 's often-terrible rhetoric would have taken a back seat to his actions , and Americans ' pessimism about Trump 's character would have taken a back seat to their optimism about his agenda .
The economy , thanks in large part to overwrought lockdown policies , collapsed .
Hundreds of thousands of Americans died .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ renewed seriousness as Americans looked for steady leadership and instead found the usual Trumpian stew of bloviation and exaggeration and ire .
COVID has become the Democrats ' chief electioneering ploy .
Their argument is patently wrong and immoral .
It is an argument repeated ad nauseam by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris , as well as their allies in the media .
The argument , expressed by Biden , is this : `` 220,000 Americans dead ...
Anyone who 's responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , of course , Trump is n't responsible for those deaths .
Trump should have spoken sooner about wearing masks ; he should have acted with more alacrity in developing testing .
But COVID has spread throughout the world , killing hundreds of thousands , and is now spreading nearly unchecked throughout Europe , where lockdowns and masking have been prevalent for months .
In fact , Democratic governors praised Trump for giving them the ventilators and personal protective equipment they sought ; the White House 's Operation Warp Speed has accelerated the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ways .
The hardest-hit states in terms of death per millions were nearly all states with governors who did not follow Trump 's preferred anti-lockdown policies .
Just as important , Democrats have never provided an alternative plan with regard to COVID .
Biden 's stated plan – to accelerate a vaccine , to socially distance , to mask more , to create local authority for targeted lockdowns – is no different from Trump 's .
Biden was holding packed rallies into early March .
Democrats have repeatedly condoned or celebrated massive rallies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so long as those rallies meet with their political approval .
The narrative that Trump is responsible for COVID 'S death toll , then , is a religious argument , not a factual one .
It is reliant on a perverse view of the universe by which Trump is responsible for all evil , a miasmatic orange Satan haunting the land .
And , the theory goes , if Trump is excised , COVID will be controlled by someone with a steadier hand .
That 's nonsense .
The pandemic will continue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is elected .
But so long as Trump is labeled the true scourge , rather than COVID , Trump will pay the political price .
And the so-called Party of Science will continue to promote that anti-scientific lie all the way up through Election Day .

Until COVID-19 hit, President Donald Trump was on a glide path to reelection. On domestic policy, Trump's tax and regulatory cuts spurred the economy to heights unseen in 50 years; his Department of Education cracked down on the star-chamber courts applied on college campuses in cases of alleged sexual misconduct; he has appointed scores of well-qualified constitutionalist judges, including three Supreme Court justices.

Then COVID hit.

wnd--2020-10-27--It's Trump who's embracing science on COVID

The Hill published an extremely partisan , anti-Trump opinion column , `` Science Seeks Truth , Trump Denies It , '' by outside contributors .
Once again they beat the drum that Trump denies `` the science , '' but in fact it is Trump critics doing so .
( Note that The Hill declined to publish this rebuttal to its anti-Trump screed . )
Our antennae should go up when we hear vague , foggy slogans .
They say Trump should follow the science .
Yet they do not identify anything that a Joe Biden or anyone else could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't already done .
The only example in the fog is wearing masks , but Joe Biden does not consistently wear a mask .
The most amusing part of the final presidential debate was Joe Biden holding up a mask next to his face ( time 38:01 ) – while not actually wearing it – saying the science says we must wear these .
But he was n't wearing it .
He was holding it up as a prop .
The science – after the experts told us do n't wear masks – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distance or you wear a mask .
Not both .
As the Associated Press admitted : `` The CDC recommended in April that people wear cloth face coverings in public when it 's difficult to be socially distant . ''
That 's why Joe Biden was not wearing a mask standing at a podium in a cornfield on camera .
When you watch TV news , remember that someone is standing behind those cameras .
The studio is filled with staff .
Yet the news anchors are not wearing masks because they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the CDC guidance .
Trump follows the science .
Yet , trying to clarify the correct CDC guidance has been twisted into Trump being opposed to wearing masks .
By the way , a president has no power to impose a mandate to wear masks , especially without Congress .
Trump refusing to do what he has no power to do is not being against masks .
Biden running mate Kamala Harris identified Jan. 28 , in her debate with Mike Pence , as the date when Trump should have known that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ posed a genuine danger .
But the day before that , on Jan. 27 , Trump had already created an intergovernmental , nationwide task force to defend against the virus .
It was announced on Jan. 29 .
There were on that date zero infections from within the U.S. ( as distinct from citizens returning home , ordered into quarantine ) .
On Jan. 31 , Trump declared a national public health emergency on COVID-19 .
What part of `` an emergency '' do critics fail to grasp ?
Trump also declared a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Did Trump ignore the threat ?
What part of a Jan. 31 `` emergency '' did highly educated scientists fail to notice ?
Trump knew .
And everyone else knew , too .
Then , like FDR , Trump sought to balance `` emergency ! ''
with comforting words of optimism .
But that was only after blaring `` emergency ! ''
as if with sirens screaming and red lights flashing .
Also on Jan. 31 , Trump shut down travel by travelers who had been in China within 14 days ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a person might be infectious ) .
No one could have missed the drastic step of shutting down our country from the world 's most-populous nation .
Democrats raised an outcry , criticizing Trump for doing it .
So , by Jan. 31 everyone knew that COVID-19 presented a risk .
On Feb. 4 , Trump warned the nation in his State of the Union address .
Governments worldwide heard .
Yet , on March 2 , New York City 's Commissioner of Health Oxiris Barbot – a highly trained physician – issued @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is currently no indication that it is easy to transmit by casual contact .
There is no need to do anything special in the community .
We want New Yorkers to go about their daily lives .
Ride the subway .
Take the bus .
Go see your neighbors . ''
That doctor claimed that SARS-CoV-2 can not be spread by casual contact .
So what `` science '' is one supposed to follow ?
In fact , as late as March 5 , NYC 's Health Commissioner was insisting that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ At a City Hall press conference on March 5 , with 'only four confirmed cases ' in NYC , Barbot said the city was urging people who arrived from certain countries with rising cases to self-isolate , but everybody else without symptoms should not have to quarantine .
'No need for it , ' she said . ''
It was not until March 16 that New York City Democratic Mayor De Blasio was badgered reluctantly into shutting down the largest public school system in the nation .
NYC 's subway remained open as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , NYC is what fueled the spread nationwide .
The World Health Organization told the world up through Jan. 21 that COVID-19 was not spread by human to human transmission .
They never explained how they thought it was spread .
But because only WHO had access to information inside China , this misinformation sent the world 's governments looking in the wrong direction until Jan. 21 .
On Oct. 11 , 2020 , the WHO flip-flopped and recommended against shutdowns of societies as a way of fighting COVID-19 .
How do we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whip lash ?

The Hill published an extremely partisan, anti-Trump opinion column, "Science Seeks Truth, Trump Denies It," by outside contributors. Once again they beat the drum that Trump denies "the science," but in fact it is Trump critics doing so. (Note that The Hill declined to publish this rebuttal to its anti-Trump screed.)
Our antennae should go up when we hear vague, foggy slogans. They say Trump should follow the science. Yet they do not identify anything that a Joe Biden or anyone else could do as president that President Trump hasn't already done.
The only example in the fog is wearing masks, but Joe Biden does not consistently wear a mask. The most amusing part of the final presidential debate was Joe Biden holding up a mask next to his face (time 38:01) – while not actually wearing it – saying the science says we must wear these. But he wasn't wearing it. He was holding it up as a prop.
The science – after the experts told us don't wear masks – is that you either maintain an anti-social distance or you wear a mask. Not both. As the Associated Press admitted: "The CDC recommended in April that people wear cloth face coverings in public when it's difficult to be socially distant."
That's why Joe Biden was not wearing a mask standing at a podium in a cornfield on camera. When you watch TV news, remember that someone is standing behind those cameras. The studio is filled with staff. Yet the news anchors are not wearing masks because they are maintaining social distance.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
So Trump follows the CDC guidance. Trump follows the science. Yet, trying to clarify the correct CDC guidance has been twisted into Trump being opposed to wearing masks. By the way, a president has no power to impose a mandate to wear masks, especially without Congress. Trump refusing to do what he has no power to do is not being against masks.
Biden running mate Kamala Harris identified Jan. 28, in her debate with Mike Pence, as the date when Trump should have known that the coronavirus spreading from Wuhan, China, posed a genuine danger.
But the day before that, on Jan. 27, Trump had already created an intergovernmental, nationwide task force to defend against the virus. It was announced on Jan. 29. There were on that date zero infections from within the U.S. (as distinct from citizens returning home, ordered into quarantine).
On Jan. 31, Trump declared a national public health emergency on COVID-19. What part of "an emergency" do critics fail to grasp? Trump also declared a different natural disaster emergency on March 13.

Did Trump ignore the threat? What part of a Jan. 31 "emergency" did highly educated scientists fail to notice? Trump knew. And everyone else knew, too. Then, like FDR, Trump sought to balance "emergency!" with comforting words of optimism. But that was only after blaring "emergency!" as if with sirens screaming and red lights flashing.
Also on Jan. 31, Trump shut down travel by travelers who had been in China within 14 days (then the "science" of when a person might be infectious). No one could have missed the drastic step of shutting down our country from the world's most-populous nation. Democrats raised an outcry, criticizing Trump for doing it.
So, by Jan. 31 everyone knew that COVID-19 presented a risk. On Feb. 4, Trump warned the nation in his State of the Union address. Governments worldwide heard.
Yet, on March 2, New York City's Commissioner of Health Oxiris Barbot – a highly trained physician – issued public guidance: "We know that there is currently no indication that it is easy to transmit by casual contact. There is no need to do anything special in the community. We want New Yorkers to go about their daily lives. Ride the subway. Take the bus. Go see your neighbors." That doctor claimed that SARS-CoV-2 cannot be spread by casual contact. So what "science" is one supposed to follow?
In fact, as late as March 5, NYC's Health Commissioner was insisting that the risk from COVID-19 was low: "At a City Hall press conference on March 5, with 'only four confirmed cases' in NYC, Barbot said the city was urging people who arrived from certain countries with rising cases to self-isolate, but everybody else without symptoms should not have to quarantine. 'No need for it,' she said."
It was not until March 16 that New York City Democratic Mayor De Blasio was badgered reluctantly into shutting down the largest public school system in the nation. NYC's subway remained open as a virus factory. And of course, NYC is what fueled the spread nationwide.
The World Health Organization told the world up through Jan. 21 that COVID-19 was not spread by human to human transmission. They never explained how they thought it was spread. But because only WHO had access to information inside China, this misinformation sent the world's governments looking in the wrong direction until Jan. 21.
On Oct. 11, 2020, the WHO flip-flopped and recommended against shutdowns of societies as a way of fighting COVID-19. How do we follow "the science" without getting whip lash?
Science is a messy process. Always has been. Trump's critics deny the unruly nature of science. Anthony Fauci told the public don't wear masks (and no, not because of supply, for concrete reasons why widespread mask wearing was a bad idea). The U.S. surgeon general implored on Feb. 29, "Seriously people – STOP BUYING MASKS! They are not effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus …"
We are left with superstition: A virus would not infect people if Trump cared more. In fact, Trump has been a notorious germophobe for decades. Trump was mocked by the media from 2017 to 2019 for rarely shaking hands, constantly using Purell, urging people (years ago) to wash their hands and sending medics to check on people coughing on Air Force One.
Literally for this very purpose, I wrote the book "Covid: Hindsight is 2020," to refute and clarify distortions, half-truths and worse with hard documentation. The 251 footnotes disprove false narratives. We must fight back against this tsunami of lies and stand public debate on sound facts.

Our economy would languish under Biden 's demented leadership , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the White House .
It is even worse than that .

Californians living under the control of Democrats already suffer from frequent power blackouts .
In August and again this week , crippling blackouts rattled the state , which has intentionally decreased its own access to traditional energy .
Biden and Harris are beholden to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of traditional energy : coal , oil and natural gas .
They want to regulate away the heart of our economy on which millions of jobs and our productivity depend .
This assault on traditional energy is led by coastal California , which enjoys revenue from smartphones and internet censorship , against the `` Rust Belt '' manufacturing states of Pennsylvania , Ohio and Michigan .

The Biden-supporting moderator , Kristen Welker of NBC , also seemed dismayed .

(STUDY FINDS) -- MONTREAL, Quebec — Many people may equate breast cancer with finding a noticeable lump on a patient’s body. Researchers from McGill University say a new technique for examining cancer cells finds invasive tumors may only have a tiny and previously undetectable “hot spot” in them. Their study reveals what cancer cells are actually feeling inside a patient’s body as they become aggressive and potentially fatal.
The Canadian team finds a tumor only needs a very small region of the cancer mass to stiffen for the disease to spread and form more growths. They’re hoping the study provides a new way to track the progression of aggressive cancers before they spread too far.
“We are now able to see these features because our approach allows us to take measurements within living, intact, 3D tissues,” says Chris Moraes in a university release. “When tissue samples are disrupted in any way, as is normally required with standard techniques, signs of these ‘hot spots’ are eliminated.”

"It doesn't tell the truth about the Russia investigation, or even the Hillary Clinton investigation," he said.
His film will "destroy" their story, he said.
Before producing documentaries for the BBC and other networks, McAleer was a foreign correspondent for the Financial Times and for The Economist in Eastern Europe. Before that, he covered Ireland for the Sunday Times of London. He began his career covering the Northern Ireland for The Irish News in Belfast.
The couple's book "Gosnell: The Untold Story of America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer" was an Amazon and New York Times bestseller. Other notable works are the films "FrackNation, Not Evil Just Wrong," "Mine Your Own Business, "The Search for Tristan's Mum" and "Return to Sender."
In February, McAleer told the Daily Beast that he, Cain and Swanson met for 45 minutes with President Trump in the Oval Office, a scheduled 15-minute meeting that went 30 minutes longer.
Trump hadn't seen the "FBI Lovebirds" play, he said, but praised the concept of a script based entirely on congressional testimony and the Strzok-Page texts. The Daily Beast was vexed about the fact that one day after "an attempt to calm nerves" about the coronavirus, Trump "spent 45 minutes talking to the lead actors of a low-budget conservative play about the so-called Deep State."
McAleer told WND he hopes "Obamagate" will provide a balance not only to "The Comey Rule" but also to books such as Peter Strzok's, which he said are "trying to rewrite history."
"If journalism is the first draft of history," he said, "then I'm happy enough to play that part."

wnd--2020-10-28--'The Hunter Games': Like prodigal father, like prodigal son

The `` Prodigal Son '' parable is ageless – worth recalling now due to possible Joe Biden family corruption detailed in the damning contents discovered on son Hunter 's discarded computer and recent disclosures by a family confidant .
The parable from the Bible tells us about the younger of two sons demanding an inheritance of his father .
The father gives it ; the son squanders it .
Contrite , the son returns home , begging forgiveness .
A loving father does so , honoring the son 's return with a feast .
The Biden family 's parable has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ granted Hunter his inheritance – a family name to trade upon – the son did very well with it .
Initiating `` the Hunter Games , '' he accumulated enormous wealth .
However , instead of raising fatherly concerns about a prodigal son 's questionable dealings , Joe wanted in on the deal .
Hunter was an overly indulged son .
In 1972 , he and older brother , Beau , as young boys , survived a car crash that killed their mother and baby sister .
Undoubtedly , Joe felt the need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sons , but the two took totally different paths .
Beau , graduating law school , served two tours as Delaware 's attorney general .
He also served in the National Guard , spending a year in Iraq .
Planning to run for governor , he was sidelined by a mild stroke , dying of brain cancer in 2015 at age 46 .

Unsurprisingly , in 2005 , Joe supported a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more difficult to discharge debt in bankruptcy and student debt nearly impossible to discharge .
Congress was never told about the Hunter/MNBA relationship .
In 1998 , after a MNBA executive bought Joe 's house in Delaware well above market value , American Spectator published an article dubbing Biden the `` Senator from MNBA . ''
All the while , Joe hypocritically preached against `` the corrupting influence of money in politics . ''

On occasion , he used stolen identification checking in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's .
In 2015 , Hunter 's wife , Kathleen , demanded he leave the house due to an unhealthy environment for their children .
That same year Hunter took up with his dead brother 's wife , Hallie .

This resulted in reducing his $ 17,000 monthly payments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1,700 .
Hunter 's relationship with Hallie deteriorated , purportedly triggered by her concerns he was `` sexually inappropriate '' with an underage girl .
( This should not be surprising as pages from the diary of Joe 's own daughter , Ashley Blazer Biden , mentions inappropriate conduct by Joe when Ashley was a child . )

Questions also arise whether the Hunter Games included other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Harris .
During the last presidential debate , President Donald Trump told Joe , `` You owe an explanation to the American people '' concerning Hunter 's business activities .
Some insights as to an explanation are found in a 1974 interview in which Joe , then 31 , gave contemptible responses concerning his political life motivations , focusing on income , wealth and status .
