Trump Nails Biden In Hilarious Ad

Pity poor Joe Biden .
He has been eclipsed by the virus and can ’ t get the media attention a convenience store robbery would merit .
His campaign is keeping him under wraps for fear he ’ ll open his yap and make himself look even more confused and no matter who he chooses for veep he will mightily tick off some Democrat hard left pressure group , and his nominating convention could be held on Zoom .
Now add on to this the hilariously deadpan Obama endorsement and the Biden campaign is not having a good April .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ energy mode when he gave the nod to his own veep .
This is because if Biden were to win Obama wife Michelle ’ s own timetable for high office could be thrown off .
So Obama gave an unendorsement endorsement , low key enough to make this dog whistle loud and clear : His former running mate is doomed .
This did not go unnoticed by the GOP .
As such , the Republicans , using a State Farm Insurance ad as a premise , came up with this .
I like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ present for this analyst .
Gee , thanks guys .
You totally should of .
Biden is generally , not completely , off limits to standard comedy , SNL , and late night talk shows .
They will do anything to defeat the president , but must be professionally ( if you can call modern entertainment a profession for adults ) chomping at the bit to mock Biden ’ s befuddlement , weird delivery , and strange stories .
Can you imagine the laugh riot the debates will be ?
Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beat up on Biden too bad , lest he look like he ’ s kicking a walker out from under a political cripple .
All the president really has to do to win those contests is to sit back and let Joe Biden say whatever comes into his head .
Thus we can look forward to odd references to 1950s-era social conventions , long in the tooth phraseology , and , a sure crowd pleaser , the much anticipated return of CornPop .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-21--AOC Whines That People Are Dying From ‘Pre-Existing’ Racism And Inequality Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) gave a virtual press conference on Facebook on Monday in which she explained that Democrats want it included in the next coronavirus relief package that racism and inequality are “ pre-existing conditions ” that are leading to the deaths of Americans .
Ocasio-Cortez said during the briefing that her district in New York is “ heavily immigrant ” and “ overwhelmingly people of color.
” “ As we ’ ve long been saying , these inequities are a pre-existing condition , ” Ocasio-Cortez said .
“ Not having access to health care is why people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because they have confronted asthma and elevated lead levels that come from environmental racism and concentrating pollution in communities of color and working class communities is why people are dying , ” the freshman congresswoman added .
The press conference had been advertised as launching the # PutPeopleFirst campaign that aims to call for legislation to save the American economy , according to Breitbart News .
Among the list of demands that the campaign is pushing are a guaranteed income for individuals and families for an extended period of time , universal health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Ocasio-Cortez has been trying to make coronavirus all about race from the very beginning of this pandemic .
“ COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities , ” she tweeted earlier this month .
“ Why ?
Because the chronic toll of redlining , environmental racism , wealth gap , etc .
ARE underlying health conditions .
Inequality is a comorbidity .
COVID relief should be drafted with a lens of reparations.
” This shows just how far the Left has gone in regards to their race-baiting agenda .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ race , even a pandemic that has killed well over a hundred thousand people of all different races all over the world .
These kinds of foolish comments by Ocasio-Cortez only show everyone just how crazy the modern Democratic Party has become .
If Ocasio-Cortez keeps this up , she might just end up becoming Republicans ’ secret weapon going into the November election .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-22--Democrat Who Endorsed President Trump Is Forced To Resign After Being ‘Harassed’ By His Party

Last week , we reported that Georgia Democrat Vernon Jones had endorsed Donald Trump for president going into the November election .
Just days later , however , he has unfortunately been forced to step down after being harassed by his fellow Democrats for this endorsement .
“ I ’ m sick and tired of me and my family being attacked and harassed by the Democratic Party for putting my country before my party , ” Jones said in a statement released to the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution as he resigned as the representative for Georgia ’ s 91st House District @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an independent thinker , ” Jones added .
“ I intend to help the Democratic Party get rid of its bigotry against Black people that are independent and conservative.
” Jones first endorsed Trump on April 14 , citing the president ’ s handling of the economy as well as his support for criminal justice reform and historically black colleges .
“ It ’ s very simple to me , ” the lawmaker said at the time .
“ President Trump ’ s handling of the economy , his support for historically black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me to endorse his campaign.
” It didn ’ t take long for him to be hit with backlash from his fellow Democrats , however .
“ Vernon Jones is an embarrassment to the Democratic Party and does not stand for our values , ” Georgia Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikema Williams said in a statement , according to The Daily Caller .
“ He chose to stand with the racist president who has made an all-out assault on black Americans…during the most important election of our lifetimes.
” During his resignation on Wednesday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shot at his fellow Democrats as well as their candidate of choice , former Vice President Joe Biden .
“ I endorsed the White guy ( Donald J. Trump ) that let Blacks out of jail , and they endorsed the White guy ( Joe Biden ) that put Blacks in jail , ” he said .
Though Jones is leaving office , he refused to leave the Democratic Party , pledging to stick around to “ hold them accountable to how they are treating black people [ and ] root out the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and vigilant in educating and fighting for my people , ” Jones said .
This shows perfectly just how intolerant the self-proclaimed “ tolerant ” Left really is .
Democrats are completely open to the views of others , as long as they align with their own , of course .
As soon as a Democrat dares to step out of line , the entire herd of liberals turns on them with a viciousness that is disturbing to behold .
We ’ re glad that Jones saw the light of what the modern @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t be the last liberal to come to this realization , if the Democratic Party continues down the path they are currently on .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-22--AOC: People Who Want To Re-Open Economy Should Protest Trump At White House

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , known as AOC , said that people who want to re-open the economy should protest against the President at the White House .
AOC : “ March On Over TO 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue ” Since the nationwide lockdowns started , a number of people have protested against them , most notably in Michigan , imploring the President and state governors to re-open the economy and protect their jobs .
In a livestream , AOC said that if people want their freedom , and “ want to end the shutdown , then tell your president to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state governments .
This is outrageous , ” she argued .
“ So , if you wan na make sure that we reopen the economy , why don ’ t you turn around , march on over to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and protest this president whose not supporting our governors and making sure that we get the tests , the medical equipment , the hospital funding , and the state and local funding , so that we can all get on with our lives , ” AOC added .
If you simply listened @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that President Trump was doing absolutely nothing to help out affected states .
This couldn ’ t be further from the truth .
Numerous governors , of all political colors , have praised the President for his assistance in helping out the coronavirus outbreak .
New York ’ s Andrew Cuomo said that the President ’ s team have been “ on it ” throughout the pandemic .
“ They ’ ve been responsive late at night , early in the morning and they ’ ve thus far been doing everything they can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you and I want to say that I appreciate it , ” Cuomo said .
Gavin Newsom , the governor of California , said that the President “ returns calls ” and has been pro-active in assistance .
” We got that ‘ Mercy ’ ship down here in Los Angeles , that was directly because he sent it down here .
2,000 medical units came to the state of California , these FMS , these field medical stations , and that ’ s been very , very helpful , ” Newsom said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the fake news is not coming from the White House , but from the Democrats !

More Fake News From Democrats!
If you simply listened to AOC, you’d think that President Trump was doing absolutely nothing to help out affected states. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Numerous governors, of all political colors, have praised the President for his assistance in helping out the coronavirus outbreak.
New York’s Andrew Cuomo said that the President’s team have been “on it” throughout the pandemic.
“They’ve been responsive late at night, early in the morning and they’ve thus far been doing everything they can do and I want to say thank you and I want to say that I appreciate it,” Cuomo said.
Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, said that the President “returns calls” and has been pro-active in assistance. ”
We got that ‘Mercy’ ship down here in Los Angeles, that was directly because he sent it down here. 2,000 medical units came to the state of California, these FMS, these field medical stations, and that’s been very, very helpful,” Newsom said in a statement.
Once again, the fake news is not coming from the White House, but from the Democrats! Perhaps if you want to protest, protest AOC instead!


thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-22--Gretchen Whitmer Forced To Rescind Contract Awarded To Democrat Who Wished Trump Caught Coronavirus

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was forced to rescind a contract awarded to a Democrat who wished President Donald Trump caught the coronavirus .
Whitmer had awarded a contract for a contact-tracing project for coronavirus to Great Lakes Community Engagement , a firm run by Michael Kolehouse , a Democratic political consultant .
The contract was worth $ 200,000 for an 8 week period , but despite the cost , the Whitmer administration has admitted that the usual protocols for selecting contracts were not followed .
This already stunk of corruption and nepotism , with Democrats handing lucrative contracts to Democrats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from there .
Kolehouse had actually posted on social media in March wishing that President Trump caught the coronavirus .
“ I hope he gets Coronavirus ASAP .
Can someone do the country a favor and cough on that man , ” Kolehouse wrote .
“ This contract should have been approved by the State Emergency Operations Center , ” a spokesman for Whitmer told Fox News .
“ This issue is being corrected , and a different vendor and software platform will be selected by the SEOC .
The state is committed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ begin quickly to help save lives , while also ensuring that public health data is safe and secure.
” However , the firm had already been working on the project for the last three weeks before the public announcement .
This is absolutely disgraceful behavior from Whitmer .
But , do we expect anything less ?
Only last week she was caught on record saying that she was considering extending lockdown procedures in Michigan , after a number of people had protested against the measures .
She called the actions of the protesters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of them following social distancing guidelines by staying within their vehicles .
RELATED : Governor Cuomo Mocks Protesters , Tells Them To Get An ‘ Essential ’ Job There now needs to be a serious investigation into how these contracts are awarded , and what the Whitmer administration is doing in general .
If this is only what we know about , who knows what corruption is going on within !

“I Hope He Gets Coronavirus ASAP”
Whitmer had awarded a contract for a contact-tracing project for coronavirus to Great Lakes Community Engagement, a firm run by Michael Kolehouse, a Democratic political consultant. The contract was worth $200,000 for an 8 week period, but despite the cost, the Whitmer administration has admitted that the usual protocols for selecting contracts were not followed.
This already stunk of corruption and nepotism, with Democrats handing lucrative contracts to Democrats, but the story only gets worse from there. Kolehouse had actually posted on social media in March wishing that President Trump caught the coronavirus.
“I hope he gets Coronavirus ASAP. Can someone do the country a favor and cough on that man,” Kolehouse wrote.
Kolehouse recently posted on social media that he hopes President Trump gets coronavirus. This is who @GovWhitmer is giving state contracts to? pic.twitter.com/KTjPcepuFD — Ronna McDaniel (@GOPChairwoman) April 21, 2020
“This contract should have been approved by the State Emergency Operations Center,” a spokesman for Whitmer told Fox News. “This issue is being corrected, and a different vendor and software platform will be selected by the SEOC. The state is committed to ensuring this important tracing work can begin quickly to help save lives, while also ensuring that public health data is safe and secure.”
However, the firm had already been working on the project for the last three weeks before the public announcement.

The Whitmer Admin Needs Investigating!
This is absolutely disgraceful behavior from Whitmer. But, do we expect anything less? Only last week she was caught on record saying that she was considering extending lockdown procedures in Michigan, after a number of people had protested against the measures. She called the actions of the protesters “irresponsible,” despite almost all of them following social distancing guidelines by staying within their vehicles.

There now needs to be a serious investigation into how these contracts are awarded, and what the Whitmer administration is doing in general. If this is only what we know about, who knows what corruption is going on within!

Former President Barack Obama reemerged on Wednesday to shamelessly use the coronavirus pandemic that has killed many people to push his radical climate change agenda .
Instead of using his platform to call for unity as we face this pandemic together , Obama instead nonsensically warned that climate change will be “ far harsher ” than COVID-19 ever was .
“ We ’ ve all had to adapt to cope with a pandemic , ” Obama wrote on Twitter .
“ Climate change will force far harsher changes on our kids.
” “ All of us should follow the young @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to protect our planet for generations , and demand more of our leaders at every level , ” he added alongside a link to a story about young people around the globe continuing to launch protests as they call for radical policy changes to reduce carbon emissions and shut down an oil-based economy .
Despite the fact that there is a longstanding tradition in this country in which presidents refrain from criticizing their successors , Obama has been outspoken about his disdain for Donald Trump ’ s moves throughout his presidency , particularly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Earlier this month , Obama called for more coronavirus tests to be made available despite the fact that President Trump was already working overtime to make that happen .
“ Social distancing bends the curve and relieves some pressure on our heroic medical professionals , ” Obama tweeted .
“ But in order to shift off current policies , the key will be a robust system of testing and monitoring – something we have yet to put in place nationwide.
” It ’ s shameful that Obama appears to be gleefully using @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agendas .
Thank goodness this pandemic didn ’ t hit when Obama was in office , because he never would have been able to handle it as well as Trump has .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-22--Governor Cuomo Mocks Protesters, Tells Them To Get An ‘Essential’ Job

Responding to protesters in his state desperate to open up the economy , New York Governor Andrew Cuomo advised them to “ go get a job as an essential worker.
” It is a shockingly tone-deaf and condescending statement at a time when many people across his state are suffering economically and losing their jobs .
Hundreds of protesters on Wednesday descended on the Capitol building in Albany , desperate to find work or generate income in these desperate times .
They held signs and chanted , while many drivers honked horns in support .
Some cars were decorated with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Anne McCloy , a reporter for WRGB CBS 6 , asked Cuomo his thoughts on the protests .
“ These are regular people who are not getting a paycheck , some of them are not getting their unemployment check , ” McCloy began .
“ And they ’ re saying that they don ’ t have time to wait for all of this testing and they need to get back to work in order to feed their families.
” “ Their savings is running out , they don ’ t have another week @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” she continued .
“ Their point is the cure can ’ t be worse than the illness itself.
” Cuomo ’ s response clearly showed a man unaffected by his own state residents suffering financially .
“ How can the cure be worse than death ?
” Cuomo asked .
“ What is worse than death ?
The illness is death.
” “ You want to go to work ?
” he sneered .
“ Go take a job as an essential worker .
Do it tomorrow.
” The New York @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s lives are the most important factor in his decision making doesn ’ t hold up to further scrutiny .
On the same day Cuomo made the claim death is the most important factor , reports surfaced that the Department of Health in New York has issued “ a blanket do-not-resuscitate directive last week instructing first-responders not to try to revive patients without a pulse.
” The governor ’ s orders are death .
What ’ s worse than death , Mr. Cuomo ?
Cuomo also stated that he would not re-open the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ This is not going to be over any time soon , ” he said .
“ We ’ re not going to have people lose their life because we acted imprudently.
” “ If he ordered me to reopen in a way that would endanger the public health of the people of my state , I wouldn ’ t do it , ” said Cuomo .
Conservative radio host Mark Levin has claimed that governors do not have the sole power to make that decision , citing the Commerce Clause of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more power to order governors , if he chooses , to open up their economies than people think , ” Levin told Fox News host Sean Hannity .
“ If it affects interstate commerce in a very negative way , the president can in fact enforce the interstate Commerce Clause of the Constitution , where governors do not have the power to control interstate commerce , ” he continued .
“ It ’ s absurd to say the president has no power.
” Cuomo ’ s comments show a man unconcerned with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they also indicate he has no intention of opening the economy any time soon .

Fox News host Tucker Carlson absolutely leveled Chris Cuomo over a ‘fake’ stunt he and the network pulled showing him emerging from his basement quarantine.
Cuomo’s CNN show, Cuomo Prime Time, aired video of what they called “the very moment [Cuomo] emerged from his basement, where he’s been riding out coronavirus for the last several weeks.”
Cuomo himself narrated the event, claiming it was his “official reentry from the basement,” said he was sweaty from working out, and implied he had just been personally cleared for release by the CDC.
“CNN, shameless cheese balls that they are celebrated by filming Cuomo rising like a buff cable news Lazarus from the grave and back into ordinary life,” Carlson mocked.

Cheesy or not, the entire segment was the very definition of ‘fake news.’

Via the New York Post:
He [biker named David] said Cuomo then started toward him, coming to within about 40 feet. “He said, ‘Who the hell are you?! I can do what I want!’” David said. “He just ranted, screaming, ‘I’ll find out who you are!’ “I said to him, ‘Your brother is the coronavirus czar, and you’re not even following his rules — unnecessary travel,’” the resident said.
Does anybody really think this was the only time Cuomo broke his quarantine? That he stayed locked in his basement the entire time with the exception of this visit to East Hampton?
And while Cuomo threatened him, Tucker invited the biker to come on his show.
“By the way, if you are the loser fat tire bicyclist, you are always welcome in the show,” Carlson said. “We’d love to hear from you. That whole exchange seems kind of unpleasant but there is a scandal underneath it.”

President Donald Trump this morning revealed that he has ordered the Navy to shoot and destroy any Iranian gunboats that are found to be harassing U.S. warships .

Not Playing Games
The U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet reported last week, according to Fox News, that:
Iranian ships repeatedly crossed in front and behind the U.S. vessels at extremely close range and high speeds, including multiple crossings of one ship, the Puller, with a 50-yard closest point of approach and within 10 yards of another ship, the Maui’s, bow, a 5th Fleet statement said.
They did this despite multiple warnings via radio, along with horn blasts and long-range acoustic noise maker devices.
The Iranian vessels finally moved away after roughly one hour.
