“ Edit is misleading @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CSpan footage and sounds like the Vice President was making a joke about the empty boxes , ” Saliba tweeted .
“ He doesn ’ t carry those last boxes .
He shuts the van doors and turns to speak to the CEO of Federal Resources.
” David Mack , Buzzfeed ’ s Deputy Director of breaking news , also highlighted the change .
“ This isn ’ t true .
The clip cuts out at a selective point , ” Mack tweeted .
“ When you watch the CSPAN footage ( 9 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crack about carrying the empty ones and the guy says ‘ Absolutely .
They ’ re a lot easier !
’ Pence laughs then immediately shuts the van door.
” Kimmel eventually was forced to offer an apology on Twitter .
“ It would appear that the Vice President was joking about carrying empty boxes for a staged publicity stunt , ” Kimmel tweeted , remaining sarcastic .
“ The full video reveals that he was carrying full boxes for a staged publicity stunt .

I know how dearly this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the left can ’ t stop lying to the American people ?
I know why .
It ’ s because they have nothing other than misinformation and lies to back themselves up !
If there arguments were solid and reasonable , there would be no need for this at all .

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced on Thursday the creation of a “ China Task Force , ” while Democrats have refused to join the team .
The China Task Force announced by McCarthy would counter “ the full stack of Chinese threats ” that the US faces , including : their role in the spread of the coronavirus ; Chinese influencing operations , like the control of think tanks , businesses , and media outlets ; Chinese economic coercion of other governments and US businesses ; Chinese efforts to gain control of international governing organisations .
Democrats were quick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a partisan invention on Twitter .
“ Instead of a GOP partisan task force designed to divert attention from President Trump ’ s coronavirus response failures , McCarthy could get serious about holding the Chinese government accountable by supporting bipartisan initiatives , ” wrote Rep. Jim McGovern , the chairman of the House Committee on Rules .
However , he was slapped down by the Washington Post ’ s Josh Rogin who broke the story .
“ Dear [ Rep. McGovern ] , the facts are that Dem leadership had agreed to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then pulled out one day before the announcement in February , ” Rogin tweeted .
“ Both parties have politicized the China issue , but this time your side walked away from bipartisanship.
” This was confirmed in a press conference held by McCarthy announcing the task force .
“ For more than a year I have worked with the leadership of the Democratic Party to put together a bipartisan committee on China , with an equal number of Republicans and Democrats .
We got to the point where we would actually name @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but despite this progress , the Democrats “ pulled back ” a few months ago .
“ We can not wait any longer , ” he continued , adding that “ the stakes are too high to sit idly by , which is why today I ’ m announcing the Republican-led China Task Force , and I invite the Democrats to join with us.

After weeks of being in lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic , Americans in many parts of the country are starting to think that some restrictions are taking things way too far .
While social gatherings are banned virtually everywhere , one California county just took things a step further by banning car parades , even if the participants stay isolated in their vehicles .
One sheriff , however , is not cooperating with enforcing this policy .
Santa Clara County , which is about 50 miles southeast of San Francisco , banned all car parades , caravans , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all public and private gatherings with people who do not live in the same household or living unit , except for the limited purposes allowed in the order .
Parades , ceremonies , and similar gatherings with people outside your household are not allowed , even if everyone stays in their cars , ” the county website states .
East Side Union School District Superintendent Chris Funk explained that local schools had been planning a drive-thru graduation for the class of 2020 that was to take place in a flea market parking lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ center shut down the plan .
“ I get public health ’ s concern that we might not be able to control the crowd outside of the location , ” Funk told KRON4 .
“ We would do a drive-thru , but we can certainly control who enters the drive-thru.
” “ There ’ s definitely a frustration on our part not being able to recognize at least having a drive-thru graduation , ” he added .
San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia spoke out to blast the new ban , saying it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the “ goalposts are moving for law enforcement.
” “ Since day one , these orders have been ridiculously difficult to enforce , ” Garcia told reporters .
“ I don ’ t know how any police chief in this county , could look at their community in the face and say , ‘ While people are being released out of jails on zero bail , serious criminals , that now we ’ re going to stop people from holding signs , driving around , and wishing individuals happy birthdays or happy graduations.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ at my community credibly and tell them that.
” Garcia went so far as to say that he will not be enforcing the ban on car parades .
“ Unless there ’ s a blatant violation , we ’ ll continue with warnings , ” he explained .
He later doubled down on this on Twitter , saying , “ I should ’ ve probably toned it down as I discussed enforcement on the new imminent threat to San Jose , not felons with guns , not armed robbers , burglars , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scourge… CAR PARADES !
” “ I need someone to explain to us how driving in a vehicle with your family to wish someone a happy birthday increases the chances of the COVID-19 , ” Garcia added .
“ We can go to supermarkets every day , yet you can ’ t drive around to wish someone a happy birthday.

“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that I would not be enforcing this stay-at-home order , partly because I trusted our residents ’ ability to do the right thing without the fear of being arrested , ” Bianco said on Wednesday , according to The Blaze .

Transcripts of the House Intelligence Committee ’ s Russia probe show Obama officials testifying time and again that they had no evidence of collusion with the campaign of President Trump in 2016 .
Regardless of this knowledge , Chairman Adam Schiff repeatedly stated through friendly media outlets that there was “ direct evidence ” of collusion .
The transcripts were released Thursday evening after Schiff was pressured by Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell , who advised that if the Democrat was not “ willing ” to release them to congressional members , he would do it himself .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s who of Obama-era officials telling the committee that they had found no evidence of Russia collusion .
• Former National Security Adviser , Susan Rice was asked whether she had evidence of collusion : “ I don ’ t recall intel or evidence to that effect.
” • Former Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said , “ I saw indications of potential coordination , but I did not see , you know , the specific evidence of the actions of the Trump campaign.
” • Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recall that being briefed up to me , ” and “ I can ’ t say that it existed or not.
” • Former campaign Chair for Hillary Clinton , John Podesta : “ I have no specific facts or information relating to conversations that may have been had between people from the Trump campaign and either Assange or representatives of the Russian Government , other than what I ’ ve read in the paper.
” Schiff Not the Only Liar That last one from former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , went on friendly leftist television and stated the exact opposite of what he testified to .

Transcripts of the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia probe show Obama officials testifying time and again that they had no evidence of collusion with the campaign of President Trump in 2016.
Regardless of this knowledge, Chairman Adam Schiff repeatedly stated through friendly media outlets that there was “direct evidence” of collusion.
The transcripts were released Thursday evening after Schiff was pressured by Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, who advised that if the Democrat was not “willing” to release them to congressional members, he would do it himself.
Repeatedly Stated No Evidence
The House intel transcripts show a who’s who of Obama-era officials telling the committee that they had found no evidence of Russia collusion.
Former National Security Adviser, Susan Rice was asked whether she had evidence of collusion: “I don’t recall intel or evidence to that effect.”
Former Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said, “I saw indications of potential coordination, but I did not see, you know, the specific evidence of the actions of the Trump campaign.”
Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the conspiracy: Do “not recall that being briefed up to me,” and “I can’t say that it existed or not.”
Former campaign Chair for Hillary Clinton, John Podesta: “I have no specific facts or information relating to conversations that may have been had between people from the Trump campaign and either Assange or representatives of the Russian Government, other than
what I’ve read in the paper.”

Indiewire went even more harsh on Michelle, describing her documentary as “bland” and assigning it a C+ rating: “While the film’s star and subject is never less than dazzling, even her most inspiring moments can’t obscure a paper-thin exploration of a remarkable life in transition,” wrote critic Kate Erbland, adding that the movie amounts to an “unfocused collection of concepts that could all inspire their own films.”
Even the super-liberal The New York Times said the documentary feels “routine” and that many elements come off as “stagy.”
“It hits all the notes of a megastar choosing to share her life with the public,” critic Lovia Gyarkye wrote, adding that the movie “is not the candid Michelle Obama film that people might have been waiting for.”
Finally, New York magazine’s Vulture said the movie was “self-celebratory” and “guarded.”
“Becoming is an act of legacy burnishing, no doubt, but it doesn’t feel like it’s laying the groundwork for a future campaign from its subject, no matter how adored it makes her look,” critic Alison Willmore wrote. For someone who is as used to being kissed up to by the media as much as Michelle is, this one has got to hurt!

thepoliticalinsider--2020-05-08--AOC Defends Joe Biden Against Sexual Assault Claim: Says Tara Reade’s Accusation Is Not ‘Clear Cut’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) showed the world just how hypocritical she really is on Thursday when she defended Joe Biden from Tara Reade ’ s sexual assault claim against him , claiming that Reade ’ s accusation is not “ clear cut.
” During an interview with National Public Radio ( NPR ) , Ocasio-Cortez cast aside the entire “ believe women ” movement by describing the Biden allegations as “ messy.
” “ It certainly seems as though something has happened .
I ’ m not sure , ” she said .
“ Frankly , this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we need to acknowledge that — that it is not clear cut.
” Reade has claimed that Biden shoved her up against the wall and digitally penetrated her back in 1993 , when she was a staffer in his Senate office .
“ Biden flatly denies Reade ’ s account , ” NPR made sure to report .
Ocasio-Cortez , who was quick to politicize the sexual assault allegations against Republican now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh , went on to argue against politicizing Reade ’ s accusations .
“ Instead of focusing on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her story as a survivor , people are fast forwarding to the political implications , ” Ocasio-Cortez said .
“ ‘ Do you want Trump to win ?
Will you be voting for Joe Biden ?
’ And that denies justice in this situation.
” She added that she will vote for Biden but not endorse him because an endorsement “ has to do with an understanding of what we are fighting for together.
” “ I think an endorsement means we have come to a place where we have developed a vision @ @ @ @ @ @ @ November ] but for getting our country to a better place , ” Ocasio-Cortez said .
This is a prime example of the hypocrisy that is rampant in the Democratic Party .
The Left never really cared about the women who have been victimized in the # MeToo movement .
Instead , they only cared about seizing power for themselves .
Democrats are willing to “ believe all women ” when they accuse Republicans , but when someone on the Left is accused , all bets are off .

Judge Gives Churches A Huge Victory After Strict Lockdown Restrictions Are Imposed By Democratic Governor

Churches in the great state of Kentucky got some very good news on Friday when a federal judge ruled that they will be allowed to hold in-person gatherings this weekend as long as they follow social distancing guidelines .
This came after the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Nicholasville , Kentucky filed a lawsuit against the state ’ s Democratic Governor Andy Beshear , demanding that they be allowed to hold in-person services .
They argued that Beshear ’ s ban on in-person services infringes upon their First Amendment rights , and U.S. District Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove agreed .
Van @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stops Beshear from “ enforcing the prohibition on mass gatherings with respect to any in-person religious service which adheres to applicable social distancing and hygiene guidelines , ” according to Lexington Herald-Leader .
The judge opined : Tabernacle Baptist Church wants to gather for corporate worship .
They want to freely exercise their deeply held religious belief about what it means to be a faithful Christian .
For them , it is “ essential ” that they do so .
And they want to invoke the Constitution ’ s protection on this point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ order , has put a stop to that .
He can do that , but he must have a compelling reason for using his authority to limit a citizen ’ s right to freely exercise something we value greatly—the right of every American to follow their conscience on matters related to religion .

Churches in the great state of Kentucky got some very good news on Friday when a federal judge ruled that they will be allowed to hold in-person gatherings this weekend as long as they follow social distancing guidelines.
This came after the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Nicholasville, Kentucky filed a lawsuit against the state’s Democratic Governor Andy Beshear, demanding that they be allowed to hold in-person services. They argued that Beshear’s ban on in-person services infringes upon their First Amendment rights, and U.S. District Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove agreed.
Van Tatenhove granted a temporary restraining order that stops Beshear from “enforcing the prohibition on mass gatherings with respect to any in-person religious service which adheres to applicable social distancing and hygiene guidelines,” according to Lexington Herald-Leader. The judge opined:
Tabernacle Baptist Church wants to gather for corporate worship. They want to freely exercise their deeply held religious belief about what it means to be a faithful Christian. For them, it is “essential” that they do so. And they want to invoke the Constitution’s protection on this point. But the governor, by executive order, has put a stop to that. He can do that, but he must have a compelling reason for using his authority to limit a citizen’s right to freely exercise something we value greatly—the right of every American to follow their conscience on matters related to religion. Despite an honest motive, it does not appear at this preliminary stage that reason exists.
Van Tatenhove went on to point out that grocery and hardware stores have been crowded during the COVID-19 pandemic, and if social distancing measures are sufficient for those businesses, they should also be for places of worship.
“There is ample scientific evidence that COVID-19 is exceptionally contagious. But evidence that the risk of contagion is heightened in a religious setting any more than a secular one is lacking,” Van Tatenhove wrote. “If social distancing is good enough for Home Depot and Kroger, it is good enough for in-person religious services which, unlike the foregoing, benefit from constitutional protection.”
The judge’s ruling applies to all churches in Kentucky as well as to all places of worship in the state.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-05-09--Obama Protects Biden – Insults President Trump

The disgraced 44th president , Barack Hussein Obama apparently thinks two electoral thrashings aren ’ t enough .
Not satisfied with losing the House in a landslide in 2010 ( the Democrats only got it back when he was gone ) and having his anointed candidate and Secretary of State Clinton go down in the flames when most thought she would win up until hours before the result , now the bench warmer and virtual Baath Party member wants to get in the ring once again with the GOP and Donald Trump .
By his words on the matter , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fight .
Here is President Trump in April on the state of the nation ’ s medical supplies he inherited from Obama , “ But they also gave us empty cupboards .
The cupboard was bare .
You ’ ve heard the expression : ‘ The cupboard was bare ?
’ So we took over a stockpile where the cupboard was bare and where the testing system was broken and old .
And we redid it.
” On Friday , ignoring the medical supply issue and weakly trying to change the subject ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in trouble ) , Obama said this about the upcoming election , “ This election that ’ s coming up on every level is so important because what we ’ re going to be battling is not just a particular individual or a political party .
What we ’ re fighting against is these long-term trends in which being selfish , being tribal , being divided , and seeing others as an enemy — that has become a stronger impulse in American life.
” Selfish ?
You mean like selfishly sending tax dollars @ @ @ @ @ @ @ office ?
Tribal ?
Like never reaching out for consensus or negotiation with the opposition ?
Dividing and making the other party out to be an “ enemy ” ?
Gee , what else do these words from him mean ?
“ It ’ s part of the reason why the response to this global crisis has been so anemic and spotty .
It would have been bad even with the best of governments .
It has been an absolute chaotic disaster when that mindset — of ‘ what ’ s in it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with everybody else ’ — when that mindset is operationalized in our government , ” said Obama .
Anemic and weak ?
The biggest U.S. and world mobilization since the last world war , an effort praised by the Democrat governors of New York and California , is anemic and weak ?
Chaotic disaster ?
I guess that ’ s why infection rates and mortality rates are falling across the nation .
“ For me ” and to “ heck ” with all others ?
You mean like the ethos of your administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corrected .
It was your ethos unless it dealt with America ’ s enemies .
Then you were quite generous .
“ That ’ s why , I , by the way , am going to be spending as much time as necessary and campaigning as hard as I can for Joe Biden , ” Obama said .
Just like you spent time with Hillary ’ s 2016 campaign ?
“ That ’ s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is at risk , ” Obama closed .
The rule of law ?
This from the sponsor of Fast and Furious ?
This from a man who ran PC roughshod over the Constitution ?
And yes , this from a man who can ’ t stand being out of the limelight .
Biden better be careful .
His old boss ’ baggage may be a burden that will sink the Democrat nominee in November .

The disgraced 44th president, Barack Hussein Obama apparently thinks two electoral thrashings aren’t enough. Not satisfied with losing the House in a landslide in 2010 (the Democrats only got it back when he was gone) and having his anointed candidate and Secretary of State Clinton go down in the flames when most thought she would win up until hours before the result, now the bench warmer and virtual Baath Party member wants to get in the ring once again with the GOP and Donald Trump.
By his words on the matter, it seems the current president relishes the fight. Here is President Trump in April on the state of the nation’s medical supplies he inherited from Obama, “But they also gave us empty cupboards. The cupboard was bare. You’ve heard the expression: ‘The cupboard was bare?’ So we took over a stockpile where the cupboard was bare and where the testing system was broken and old. And we redid it.”
On Friday, ignoring the medical supply issue and weakly trying to change the subject (PR tool 01 when you’re in trouble), Obama said this about the upcoming election, “This election that’s coming up on every level is so important because what we’re going to be battling is not just a particular individual or a political party. What we’re fighting against is these long-term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided, and seeing others as an enemy — that has become a stronger impulse in American life.”
Selfish? You mean like selfishly sending tax dollars to terrorists the night before you left office? Tribal? Like never reaching out for consensus or negotiation with the opposition? Dividing and making the other party out to be an “enemy”? Gee, what else do these words from him mean?
“It’s part of the reason why the response to this global crisis has been so anemic and spotty. It would have been bad even with the best of governments.

I guess that’s why infection rates and mortality rates are falling across the nation. “For me” and to “heck” with all others? You mean like the ethos of your administration, Barry? Oh, I stand corrected. It was your ethos unless it dealt with America’s enemies. Then you were quite generous.
“That’s why, I, by the way, am going to be spending as much time as necessary and campaigning as hard as I can for Joe Biden,” Obama said. Just like you spent time with Hillary’s 2016 campaign?
