thepoliticalinsider--2020-09-09--The Hill Pushes False Attack Mask-Shaming Trump Supporters, Until Viewers Notice Major Problem

The Hill published a piece purporting to show that Trump supporters weren ’ t wearing masks at a rally in North Carolina , but it didn ’ t go very well .
The headline is pretty straight-forward : “ Trump , supporters gather without masks in NC despite request from local GOP official.
” “ President Trump and scores of supporters gathered for a rally in Winston-Salem , N.C. , on Tuesday without masks , despite the urging of a local Republican official and a state mandate , ” the opening paragraph reads .
One – the President hasn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if ever , at campaign speeches , with White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany referring to it as a “ personal choice.
” Two – the accompanying photo that the Hill chose to use in driving the point home about his supporters shows … every single person in that section of the audience wearing a mask .
The left-leaning publication deleted their Tweet that featured the false headline and accompanying photo of every attendee wearing a mask after getting backlash from viewers with functioning eyeballs .
Here is a link to the deleted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vet Slams Liberals For Using His Image In ‘ Propaganda , ’ Says Trump Never Called Him A Loser Did They Not Look At The Image ?
Seriously ?
They couldn ’ t find some people in the crowd who weren ’ t actually wearing masks ?
We aren ’ t suggesting there weren ’ t any to be found , as other pictures from the rally clearly show some supporters of the President not wearing masks .
But shedding the ‘ fake news ’ mantra isn ’ t exactly helped along by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reporting .
The President ’ s son , Donald Trump Jr. , had a field day mocking The Hill for their efforts .
“ WTF ?
Literally all you have to do is zoom in on the picture to realize that everyone gathered in the stands is wearing a mask , ” he tweeted .
“ I was able to do it on my iPhone in two seconds !
” He added , “ I guess ‘ journalists ’ are not capable of basic observation , they just blindly run with the narrative.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ About Trump Disparaging Fallen Soldiers Could Be Wrong Don ’ t Believe Your Own Eyes The Hill ’ s gaffe is reminiscent of other efforts by the mainstream media to convince you of one narrative even though imagery right before your eyes is telling you something completely different .
MSNBC reporter Ali Veshi months ago assured viewers that “ protests ” in Minneapolis had not become “ unruly ” … all while standing in front of a building burning .
“ This is mostly a protest , ” he asserted , “ It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but fires have been started and this crowd is relishing that.
” Last month , CNN was the subject of extreme mockery with an on-air graphic that described violent riots in Kenosha , Wisconsin as “ fiery but mostly peaceful protests.
” Again , this ‘ peaceful ’ claim was made as fires raged behind the reporter .
If we ’ re following this uber-low media standard then The Hill ’ s efforts to mask-shame Trump supporters begin to make sense .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-09-10--Hunter Biden’s Chinese Company Helped Send Automotive Jobs Overseas

Hunter Biden ’ s Chinese firm bought out a Michigan automotive company that helped create jobs overseas , contrary to his dad ’ s rhetoric .
During a speech in Michigan on Wednesday , Joe Biden attacked the practice of outsourcing jobs .
“ Make it in Michigan , make it in America , invest in our communities and the workers in places like Warren , ” Biden told automotive workers .
“ Getting a good job in 2020 shouldn ’ t be a lottery… it should be an expectation.
” However , his words were completely contradictory to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Hunter sat on the board of BHR , a private equity firm he founded that was funded with $ 1.5 billion given to the firm by the Chinese company .
In 2018 , they bought out Henniges Automotive , a Michigan-based firm , much to the detriment of American workers .
Jobs Across The Globe , Not In The States The acquisition had to be approved by the Obama-Biden administration , and when it was in September 2015 , the $ 600 million takeover was one of the biggest buyouts of an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in history .
After the deal , instead of expanding and creating jobs in America , executives announced expansions across China , Poland , Czechia , Germany , Mexico , and South America .
Henniges now operates 25 facilities all around the globe , including factories employing blue-collar workers , and offices with high-skilled , high-paid positions .
The last expansion in America was in August 2012 .
This is only the latest scandal in the Hunter Biden camp .
The President highlighted some of these allegations in a recent attack ad against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ukrainian gas company , Burisma , of which he was a board member .
Senator Ron Johnson announced back in March his plans to subpoena a consulting firm that could show a possible conflict of interest in that related case .
Now we know exactly where Hunter and his supposed blue-collar supporting dad stand .
They stand against American jobs for American workers , and instead want to continue their support of neoliberal , rampant , soulless capitalism across the globe .

Biden Claims To Support American Workers
During a speech in Michigan on Wednesday, Joe Biden attacked the practice of outsourcing jobs.
“Make it in Michigan, make it in America, invest in our communities and the workers in places like Warren,” Biden told automotive workers. “Getting a good job in 2020 shouldn’t be a lottery… it should be an expectation.”
However, his words were completely contradictory to the actions of his son, Hunter Biden. Hunter sat on the board of BHR, a private equity firm he founded that was funded with $1.5 billion given to the firm by the Chinese company. In 2018, they bought out Henniges Automotive, a Michigan-based firm, much to the detriment of American workers.
Jobs Across The Globe, Not In The States
The acquisition had to be approved by the Obama-Biden administration, and when it was in September 2015, the $600 million takeover was one of the biggest buyouts of an American automotive firm by a Chinese company in history.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-09-10--Fact Check: No, Trump Hasn’t Made 20,000 ‘False or Misleading’ Claims

There are now 21 on-the-record denials rebutting The Atlantic ’ s bombshell alleging President Trump called American soldiers “ losers ” and “ suckers.
” Ignoring the most problematic aspect of Atlantic Editor Jeffrey Goldberg ’ s report – his sources were all anonymous — many journalists saw this story as the perfect opportunity to wager the institutional media ’ s credibility against that of the president , who to be charitable , has a strained relationship with the truth .
Brian Stelter , the host of CNN ’ s media criticism show , “ Reliable Sources , ” began @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lamenting the fact that many news outlets even bothered to report Trump ’ s vehement denials of The Atlantic story .
“ Why confer credibility where it doesn ’ t belong ?
Fool me once , shame on you .
Fool me 20,000 times , well , shame on all of us , ” he said .
“ Why keep acting like things are normal after 20,000 false and misleading claims ?
” Indeed , per The Washington Post fact-checker database , President Trump has told 20,000 “ false and misleading ” claims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an astonishing average of nearly 16 false or misleading statements .
Framed in those terms , Stelter has a point .
Choosing between the credibility of Trump or , say , a CNN host , the editor of a prestige magazine such as The Atlantic , let alone a Washington Post fact-checker , is no choice at all .
The problem is that any cursory inspection of the Post database reveals that the idea that Trump has told 20,000 “ false or misleading ” statements is itself false and misleading .
Vast quantities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , however tendentious , that Trump has repeated ad nauseum .
More problematic is that thousands of statements The Washington Post labels as untrue or misleading are more properly considered the habitual verbal excess for a man known for his immoderate form of communication .
Further , a great many of the Post ’ s objections to Trump ’ s statements amount to argumentative quibbles that aren ’ t really “ fact checks.
” Just to start , here ’ s one of Trump ’ s most oft-repeated “ lies , ” according @ @ @ @ @ @ @ My job was made harder by phony witch hunts , by ‘ Russia , Russia , Russia ’ nonsense.
” The Post dings Trump for some variation of this claim 227 times – more than 1 % of Trump ’ s alleged untruths .
Yet , the Post ’ s justification for why Trump is wrong to say this is pure pettifogging .
Much of it essentially consists of a defense of the probe conducted by special prosecutor Robert Mueller .
However , the most tangible results from the Mueller investigation – criminal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for unrelated work in Ukraine and fecklessly charging ( and then quietly dropping the charges ) against a bunch of Russian nationals for hacking and other dirty computer tricks – don ’ t come close to proving Trump colluded with Russia to steal an election .
In that respect , the Post fact checker flirts with dishonesty in the way it omits salient facts .
“ Mueller declined to reach a decision on whether to bring charges against Trump for obstructing justice .
… Mueller spent nearly half of the report laying out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the investigation , including an effort by the president to have Mueller removed , ” notes the Post .
It ’ s telling the Post is dredging up the obstruction allegations .
Trump supporters would frame what happened this way : The Mueller investigation started with no real evidence that Trump colluded with Russia , uncovered no new evidence , and when investigators realized they had nothing , pivoted to making a politicized case for obstruction while investigating a crime they knew didn ’ t exist .
Meanwhile , a top FBI lawyer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants .
If the FBI lied to get warrants to spy on Trump associates , that seems pretty close to “ phony witch hunt.
” RELATED : Lindsey Graham : Somebody From Obama ’ s FBI Needs To Go To Jail Suffice it to say , you will find numerous other Trump-Russia “ fact checks ” in the bowels of the Post database that fail to acknowledge there was major malfeasance in the FBI investigation , and there are reasons to believe the highest levels of the Obama administration knew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investigation into Trump – reasons the fact checker credulously dismisses .
Setting aside 2016 , the Post fact checker is also wading into the current election .
How the Post justifies calling this statement misleading is a head-scratcher : “ We need security , we can ’ t defund our police and we can ’ t abolish the police .
They want to abolish our police.
” ( Again , the Post ’ s 20,000 total falsehoods registers Trump saying some variation of this eight different times . )
According to the Post @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not support ‘ defunding police , ’ according to the candidate and the campaign.
” However , the context of the Sean Hannity interview in which Trump makes the statement in no way suggests Trump is directly referring to Biden .
“ They ” seems to mean the Democratic Party or the left more generally .
In addition , Biden has also said he ’ s “ absolutely ” in favor of redirecting funds from the police – which is the definition many “ defund the police ” supporters are using .
Regardless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prominent Democrats and progressive activists have come out in favor of “ defunding the police , ” whatever that loaded phrase is supposed to mean .
A New York Times article last month , headlined “ Biden Said , ‘ Most Cops Are Good.
’ But Progressives Want Systemic Change , ” testifies to the fact this is a significant intraparty tension .
( See also this other Times op-ed from a progressive activist , “ Yes , We Mean Literally Abolish the Police.
” ) Maybe you believe Biden , who has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after a primary with socialist Bernie Sanders , can hold the line on defunding the police against many of his own supporters .
But the Post has no business disputing Trump here .
It looks as if the Post is moving the goalposts to give Biden cover on an issue hurting him at the polls .
Other allegedly misleading claims are simply insulting to readers , such as this one Trump ’ s been rung up for eight times : “ We have tremendous African American support.
” Trump exceeded expectations with his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2016 .
Regardless , is he supposed to call his own supporters lackluster ?
If this statement is “ false or misleading , ” what level of wishful political rhetoric is acceptable ?
So far , all of the examples from the Post fact checker I ’ ve cited are from the first page of its database .
But that ’ s the particular genius of what the Post has done – transformed thousands of nits it would like to pick into a cudgel of a talking point to be used against Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comb through such an exhaustive and tedious list .

Had Post fact checkers been more discerning , they could have nailed Trump on a much smaller , but still impressive number of claims that would be difficult to dispute .
Instead , they buffaloed the public with the dubious claim Trump has made an astounding 20,000 false or misleading statements .
The worry is now that the media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ era will endure long after Trump leaves office .
In the meantime , there ’ s an election in two months , and voters who are asked to choose between the media ’ s credibility and Trump ’ s are frantically looking to see what ’ s behind door No .

The real number? Seven.
Even @CNN is calling out @JoeBiden’s lies‼ “This is wrong — and not just by a little. Biden overstated the number of military Covid deaths by 6,107 & infections by nearly 79,000.

Biden’s wild math
Biden said during a campaign stop to United Auto Workers in Michigan, “U.S. COVID-infected military — excuse me, U.S. COVID-infected in America: six thousand, three hundred forty-four thousand, seven hundred [sic]. U.S. COVID deaths: one thousand, one hundred eighty-nine thousand, five hundred six [sic].”
“Military COVID-infected,” Biden continued. “One hundred and eighteen thousand, nine hundred and eighty-four. Military COVID deaths: six thousand, one hundred and fourteen. Folks: every one of these lives matter.”
“Every one of these lives left somebody behind, grieving,” he added.
According to the Pentagon, the actual number of coronavirus deaths in the military is seven.
So in addition to repeating the claims of The Atlantic story, which has been refuted by 21 officials, Biden grossly overstated the number of coronavirus military deaths in his anti-Trump tirade. How he came up with 6,114 is anyone’s guess.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-09-10--Report: Members Of Mueller’s Team ‘Accidentally Wiped’ Phones During Anti-Trump Investigation

Newly released documents from the Department of Justice suggest multiple members of Robert Mueller ’ s investigative team “ accidentally wiped ” their phones after the Office of the Inspector General ( OIG ) requested them .
A cache of communications on the DOJ ’ s FOIA Library web page labeled “ Records Concerning the Use of Department-issued mobile devices by Peter Strzok and Lisa Page ” contains a list of the devices and the “ results ” in obtaining them .

” Others used wrong passwords too many times and had their phones wiped , while Davis adds , “ a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was to put the phones in airplane mode , lock them , and then claim they didn ’ t have the password.
” Seems like a lot of work .
They could have just called Hillary and asked to borrow her Bleach Bit program or requested that she smash them with a hammer .
Much like Hillary ’ s emails and devices being destroyed , Mueller ’ s team likely didn ’ t do anything “ accidentally.
” “ What are the actual probabilities of more than a dozen top Mueller officials all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accidentally putting them in airplane mode , locking them , and ‘ forgetting ’ their passwords so the DOJ OIG couldn ’ t access and examine them ?
” Davis asked .
Kevin Clinesmith , one of the FBI officials involved in gathering evidence in the Russia investigation , pled guilty last month after he was accused by the Inspector General of altering an email about former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page .
Attorney General Bill Barr recently suggested there could be more charges to follow .
“ Would you say it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” NBC ’ s Pete Williams asked .
“ No , I wouldn ’ t say that at all , ” Barr replied before adding , “ yeah , there could be.

Senator Lindsey Graham claimed “ somebody needs to go to jail ” after the FBI lied to Congress during their investigation of the Trump campaign .

Newly released documents from the Department of Justice suggest multiple members of Robert Mueller’s investigative team “accidentally wiped” their phones after the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) requested them.
A cache of communications on the DOJ’s FOIA Library web page labeled “Records Concerning the Use of Department-issued mobile devices by Peter Strzok and Lisa Page” contains a list of the devices and the “results” in obtaining them.

Indeed, the document results read, “AAW accidentally wiped cell phone – data lost.”
Others used wrong passwords too many times and had their phones wiped, while Davis adds, “a key tactic used by the Mueller team was to put the phones in airplane mode, lock them, and then claim they didn’t have the password.”

So the former head of the DOJ fraud section/Enron task force member, who put away people for document destruction, himself destroyed critical government documents. He knew how to make it seem like an accident but we all see right through it. Such a vile hypocrite. https://t.co/1LVqRgDb2V — Jesse R. Binnall ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ (@jbinnall) September 10, 2020

Coup Attempts
President Trump’s Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, said in July that he expects indictments and jail time for some following the investigation by U.S. Attorney John Durham into the origins of the Russia collusion probe.
Senator Lindsey Graham claimed “somebody needs to go to jail” after the FBI lied to Congress during their investigation of the Trump campaign.
“You’re going to find, not only did the FBI lie to the FISA court. They lied their ass off to the Congress,” he said.
Now, it would appear, there is evidence of suspicious activity which seems to indicate a cover-up.
This is shocking. In private practice, if you had a dozen clients who did this at the same time in response to an internal investigation, you would be preparing for sanctions and hiding under your desk. But these arrogant people think they are above the law. So far, they are. https://t.co/NgfbQue1dS — Harmeet K. Dhillon (@pnjaban) September 10, 2020
On its surface, unelected bureaucrats at the FBI appear to have been involved in an active effort to take down a duly elected President. If not, what were they hiding?

thepoliticalinsider--2020-09-10--Chris Cuomo Caught on Tape Coaching Michael Cohen On How To Answer Trump Questions

CNN ’ s Chris Cuomo was caught on leaked audiotapes coaching Michael Cohen on what to say for an upcoming interview , even offering to “ make some phone calls ” to assure Trump ’ s former attorney didn ’ t get into any legal trouble over the appearance .
The shocking tape was played by Fox News host Tucker Carlson .

He wanted Chris Cuomo to tell him what to say , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out , as Cuomo can be heard offering advice to Cohen on what to say , revealing questions the CNN anchor would ask beforehand , how to respond to said questions , and even doing a mock interview exchange as a dress rehearsal .

Cuomo goes on to suggest what Cohen should say was the motive ( protect Trump ) and how he should respond to allegations that the payments were shady ( media bias ) .

Trump Acted Quickly and Decisively
The second part of the media narrative is to suggest President Trump did nothing to stop the spread – a provable, bald-faced lie.
Unserious journalists make that accusation based simply on the President having told Woodward on March 19th that he “still like(s) playing it down.”
His administration’s actions up until that date show a man taking definitive action behind the scenes.
By the date in question, President Trump and his administration had done the following:
The CDC established a coronavirus incident management system to better share and respond to information about the virus.
Dr. Fauci announced the National Institutes of Health was working on the development of a vaccine for the coronavirus.
The White House Coronavirus Task Force started meeting to help monitor and contain the spread of the virus and provide updates to the President.
Declared the coronavirus a public health emergency.
Announced Chinese travel restrictions, followed by more from other hotspots such as Italy and the UK.
President Trump vowed in his State of the Union Address to “take all necessary steps” to protect Americans from the coronavirus.
The CDC began shipping CDC-Developed test kits for the 2019 Novel Coronavirus to U.S. and international labs.
Trump signed an $8.3 billion bill to fight the coronavirus outbreak.
Trump declared a national emergency in order to access $42 billion in existing funds to combat the coronavirus.
What had the Democrats and the media focused on during that time? Impeachment. And any other coverage that would reflect poorly on the President.
