westernjournal--2020-10-12--Longtime Church Members Scrutinize Biden’s Claims of Being ‘Raised’ in a Black Church

Members of a Delaware church are disputing a claim from Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden that he was “ raised in the black church , ” and in particular , their house of worship .
Biden , who is known for telling whoppers , misremembering important details , plagiarizing political language and appearing to embellish his political and street credentials , made a claim in Iowa early this year that his entire “ political identity ” was molded by relationships with minorities from his youth during the civil rights movement .
“ I have a lot of black support because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I was raised in the black church , politically , not a joke , ” Biden said in Des Moines in January , The Des Moines Register reported .
“ When I got into politics , I was the only white guy working on the east side , in the projects , because these were the guys I grew up with .
These were the guys I worked with , ” Biden also said at the event , according to The Washington Examiner .
“ People ask why do I have such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , because that ’ s what I ’ m part from … That ’ s where my political identity comes from .
It ’ s the single most consistent political constituency I ’ ve ever had.
” “ That ’ s what got me involved in politics to begin with : The Civil Rights movement , ” he said .
Biden had made an almost identical claim in June of 2019 , according to Julia Terruso with The Philadelphia Inquirer .
Biden is correct on his historical support from black voters .
Support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dead-in-the-water candidacy in February in the South Carolina primary , just a week before he knocked Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont out of the primary on Super Tuesday .
But did Biden actively support the civil rights movement as a youth ?
Not according to the record .
Did Biden really get his start in a black church in the 1960s , as he asserted twice last year ?

Biden had made an almost identical claim in June of 2019, according to Julia Terruso with The Philadelphia Inquirer.
He then ran through his record on civil rights issues, including with the Obama admin. “My president gets much too little credit for all that he did.

Biden is correct on his historical support from black voters.
Support from black voters revived Biden’s dead-in-the-water candidacy in February in the South Carolina primary, just a week before he knocked Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont out of the primary on Super Tuesday.
But did Biden actively support the civil rights movement as a youth?
Not according to the record.
Did Biden really get his start in a black church in the 1960s, as he asserted twice last year?
Not according to two of that church’s members.
The Washington Free Beacon identified the church as the Union Baptist Church in Wilmington, where Biden also said in Des Moines, “We would go sit in Rev. Herring’s church, sit there before we’d go out, and try to change things when I was a kid in college and in high school.”
Biden’s Herring reference was to Rev. Otis Herring, who ministered the church for decades, but died in 1996.
While Herring as long since passed away, other members of the Union Baptist Church are alive and well, and they remember Biden’s connection to their church very differently than he does.
A woman named Phyllis Drummond attended the church for nearly four decades, and told The Beacon that while she was not part of the church during the civil rights movement, she doesn’t think Biden was either.
“No. Not at our building. I think he was probably in Claymont, [Del.,] [or] in Pennsylvania then,” she told the outlet.
Another church member named Juanita Matthew also told the outlet she is not aware of Biden being affiliated with her church during the time when he said he was “raised” there.
Matthew disclosed that Biden did have a connection to the church, and did have a relationship with Herring, but that the connection was established well after Biden was already an adult — when Biden’s political ambitions were likely brewing.
(Biden was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972 when he was only 29 years old.)
The Free Beacon reported Matthew said Biden became “a great friend of the church and the pastor” after the death of Biden’s wife and daughter in 1972, after he was elected to the Senate.
While it appears Biden did have a relationship to the Union Baptist Church, there is no evidence that it came when the Democrat was being raised.
Biden, born in 1942, turned 18 in the fall of 1960.
Rev. Herring did not take the reins of the church until 1962, when Biden would have been 19 or 20.
Unless the rules for rearing children and teenagers in the early 1960s have suddenly been rewritten, a person is and always was pretty well raised by the age of 20, minus the modern exception for staying on mom and dad’s insurance plan until age 26, as is mandated by the Affordable Care Act.
But an unlikely person has further discredited Biden’s claims about him being raised in a black church.
Twitter activist Shaun King, a fervent leftist, wrote earlier this year that claims about the Delaware church and Biden’s broader involvement in the civil rights movement during his 1987 quest for the Democratic presidential nomination were debunked by Biden himself.
King pulled old quotes where Biden claimed to have marched for justice in Selma and Birmingham, and this quote, where Biden later admitted he lied about those marches:
“During the 1960s, I was in fact very concerned about the civil rights movement. I was not an activist. I worked at an all-black swimming pool in the east side of Wilmington, Delaware. I was involved in what they were thinking, what they were feeling. But I was not out marching. I was not down in Selma. I was not anywhere else. I was a suburbanite kid who got a dose of exposure to what was happening to black Americans,” Biden said after he was busted by the media for embellishing his civil rights record, according to King.
After reading Biden’s 400-page biography, King further noted Biden summarized the civil rights movement, and his involvement with it, with the following paragraph:
“I worked there (a swimming pool) back in the early sixties, when freedom rides, sit-ins, and Bull Connor’s dogs and fire hoses were starting to get people’s attention. Like everybody in America in those years, I was getting dramatic lessons about segregation and civil rights from newspapers and television.”
According to accounts from the Union Baptist Church members, King, and even Biden himself, his claim about being “raised in the black church” is pure fiction.
Others were marching for equal treatment for minority Americans in 1962, around the time Biden was standing tall against his swimming pool nemesis, a Delaware gang member called CornPop Jackson, who Biden claimed he nearly fought with a chain while CornPop and three cronies were armed with razors.
Per the story Biden told, which is outlined in great detail by The Guardian, Biden said, “CornPop was a bad dude and he ran a bunch of bad boys.”
Biden said after he approached CornPop and the three others with his improvised chain weapon, the bad dude backed down, giving Biden a victory.
The absurdity of the CornPop rivalry and story alone drew a sort of bipartisan cringe when it was told by Biden last summer.
Biden’s stories should always be taken with a grain of salt.
His newly unearthed claim that he was seeking the council of Rev. Herring on civil rights issues during the CornPop era is further evidence that Biden’s propensity for telling falsehoods appears almost pathological.
He’s using the Delaware church to elevate his position with minority voters and his outlandish claims too often go unchallenged by the establishment media, so credit to those at The Beacon for following up on this one.
Biden, like many other young people in the early 1960s, was likely enjoying summertime sun when he was able to.
There is nothing at all wrong with that.
But there is an issue with a man such as Biden apparently attempting to rewrite history to bolster his credentials.
We can discern from Biden’s own words, and from the words of others, that he likely wasn’t too invested in black churches or in the civil rights movement as a young man and teen.
That interest in courting black voters apparently came after the former VP became involved in politics.
The candidate has been without shame since the beginning of his 47-year career in government.
But prior to that, he was apparently just another middle class American young man who watched TV and enjoyed territory disputes with rapscallion youngsters.
Now, seeking to court black voters for his third presidential bid, he has shamelessly been busted, yet again, telling another unnecessary fib.

‘It’s Kinda Boring Out Here’: Reporter Baffled at Lack of Fanfare Outside Battleground State Biden Campaign Event

It ’ s kind of baffling , even for those of us who have been following politics for decades .
Former Vice President Joe Biden is said to be handily beating incumbent President Donald Trump in the latest 2020 presidential polls , but the crowds showing up for each candidate just don ’ t bear that disparity out .
For example , take the crowd — or rather , lack thereof — at one campaign stop Biden made with running mate California Sen. Kamala Harris on Thursday .
The pair were set to appear for the first time at a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Arizona , including a meeting with Native American tribal leaders at the Heard Museum in Phoenix , according to The Arizona Republic .
They were joined by Cindy McCain , who , like her husband , the late Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain , is happy to join the opposition against real Republicans .
Still , it looked like your average weekday outside the venue , save for a single police car stationed to protect the building ’ s entrance .
“ There ’ s really not much to see , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scene , reporting from outside the museum where the meeting was happening .
“ I ’ ll step out of the way , but it ’ s kinda boring out here .
So , it ’ s not your typical presidential campaign event .
We don ’ t see people rallying outside , we don ’ t see signs or really much of what ’ s going on.
” Garcia conceded that the campaign kept the details hush-hush to “ keep the crowds to a minimum ” ( no worries about that ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the casual observer could see there was more to it than that .
“ I mean , this is a pretty big event for the two of them to be campaigning together for the first time since the Democratic National Convention , ” Garcia continued .
The reporter pointed out that Arizona is now “ a battleground state , and so this is technically a big event , but not a lot of fanfare.
” Garcia said that the Biden/Harris campaign would later be launching its “ Soul of the Nation ” bus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden Slurs His Way Through Opening Remarks : 'Because Uh , by Cause It 's Ellen General Motors' Freelance writer José-Ignacio Castañeda shared more footage of the city ’ s reception for the candidates , with Phoenix police escorting the Biden/Harris motorcade by a handful of cheering spectators .
Even that didn ’ t come close to the energy the supposed front-runners would be expected to whip up weeks away from Election Day .
Although a global pandemic throws a monkey wrench into the works of a presidential campaign — making for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to see the senile senior citizen and his shrill , intolerable running mate — it ’ s almost a plausible explanation .
Almost .
As the president ’ s son Eric Trump said when he retweeted Garcia ’ s report on the appearance , such a pathetic lack of enthusiasm for Democratic candidates is “ Never a good sign.
” And it ’ s not just this one time the campaign has had such abysmal turnout .
There was Sunday ’ s Biden/Harris campaign stop Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren held that had roughly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
There was Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders ’ rally for the Biden/Harris ticket last week that drew fewer revelers than a small-town folk festival .
And a Yuma , Arizona , stop for the candidates on that bus tour drew a handful of supporters while Vice President Mike Pence ’ s rally was “ 4,000+ strong ” according to one Twitter user whose reply tweet showed both rallies .
Meanwhile , Trump ’ s supporters rally by the thousands , even in the belly of the leftism beast , New York City .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they hold boat parades , motorcycle rallies , flag-waving events — all to show their unwavering support for President Trump .
Poll numbers are real data and should not be dismissed out of hand ( that would be the same hubris that took down the Democratic Party in 2016 ) .
Instead , conservatives should take it as a sign to be cautiously optimistic that other Trump supporters are out there , and in insanely large numbers .
The president has had to overcome so much already — endless sham investigations , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but his last and most difficult battle is yet to come in November ’ s election .
If he can ’ t surmount the years-long barrage of vicious media lies , the possibility of widespread voter fraud and a global pandemic to eke out an electoral victory , take comfort in the crowds he and his message routinely draw .
After all , even with the apparatus of the establishment media and deep state working tirelessly to elect Biden and Harris , they can ’ t even get their base voters to leave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We are committed to truth and accuracy in all of our journalism .

westernjournal--2020-10-12--Watch the Awkward Moment Biden Seems To Forget Romney’s Name: ‘The Senator Who Was a Mormon’

Gaffes are becoming all too commonplace for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden .
During a Monday briefing with reporters , the former vice president appears to have forgotten the name of Sen. Mitt Romney .
This mistake seems to be especially noteworthy considering that Biden , alongside then-President Barack Obama , ran against the Utah Republican in the 2012 presidential election .
It ’ s a name he should remember .
A video of the interview showed Biden stumbling through his answer to a question about the Catholic faith of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett , whose confirmation hearings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' Veteran Challenger Hits Her on Deplorable State of South LA : 'Our District Is In Ruins' “ How should Amy Coney Barrett ’ s faith be considered by the Democrats during the hearing this week , sir ?

“ You may remember , I got in trouble when we were running against the senator who was a Mormon , the governor , OK ?
” he continued .
Romney was governor of Massachusetts from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ took him on , and nobody ’ s faith should be questioned , ” Biden said .
Twitter users immediately jumped on Biden ’ s latest gaffe , questioning his intentions and his fitness for the presidency .
“ Could Joe Biden seriously not remember Mitt Romney ’ s name ?
He ran against him in 2012 when Mitt ran against Obama .

” director and producer Robby Starbuck tweeted .

As Biden ’ s campaign has gone on , conservatives have continually questioned whether the 77-year-old is fit to run for president .
The Democrat ’ s ever-growing list of embarrassing verbal gaffes continues to speak for itself .
Among those are asking a CBS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ junkie , ” saying “ poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids , ” completely forgetting a quote from the Declaration of Independence mid-sentence and telling black Americans that if they don ’ t vote for him in the November election , they “ ain ’ t black.

If so, how could Biden be trusted to deal with the pressure of the most powerful position in the free world?

westernjournal--2020-10-12--Fact Check: Biden Caught Red-Handed Lying to Americans About Amy Coney Barrett

Day 1 of Judge Amy Coney Barrett ’ s Supreme Court nomination hearings hadn ’ t gotten off the ground before Joe Biden was lying about her in front of a camera .
And as usual with Biden , it didn ’ t take long for the truth to come out .
The former vice president and current Democratic nominee for president was on his way to a plane to Ohio on Monday morning , according to the Washington Examiner , when he paused to answer a question about President Donald Trump ’ s third nominee to the high court @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again spinning a yarn about how the Barrett nomination is “ unconstitutional ” ( it ’ s not ) .
He could have complained that Republicans were violating their own precedent from the 2016 fight over Obama nominee Merrick Garland ( they ’ re not ) .
Instead , being Biden , he went straight to a flat-out lie about the nominee ’ s record – particularly as it relates to the monstrosity known as Obamacare .
“ This nominee said she wants to get rid of the Affordable Care Act — this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Affordable Care Act , ” Biden said .
“ Let ’ s keep our eye on the ball .
This is about less than one month , Americans are going to lose their health insurance.
” Check out the video below .
The crucial part starts about 20 seconds in , but viewers who watch from the beginning will get to watch as Biden pretty clearly could not remember the name of Mitt Romney — a fairly familiar name in political circles , being the current senator and former Massachusetts governor who challenged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2012 election .
( Yet more evidence that Biden is not entirely with it upstairs . )
What Biden said was simply not true , though as usual with Biden ’ s fabrications , there was a fact buried in there that served as his stepping stone to fantasy .
As Fox News reported , the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in a case challenging the constitutionality of Obamacare on Nov. 10 .
If the Senate confirms Barrett , as Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has all but vowed , she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time for those arguments .
The problem is that Biden grossly overstated Barrett ’ s writings on Obamacare to the point of malicious fiction .
As the Washington Examiner reported , in a 2017 piece for the law review of Notre Dame Law School , Barrett took on the 2012 landmark opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts that contorted logical and legal thought to find a way to uphold the constitutionality of the law .
“ Chief Justice Roberts pushed the Affordable Care Act beyond its plausible meaning to save the statute , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the penalty imposed on those without health insurance as a tax , which permitted him to sustain the statute as a valid exercise of the taxing power ; had he treated the payment as the statute did — as a penalty — he would have had to invalidate the statute as lying beyond Congress ’ s commerce power.
” RELATED : 'Voters Deserve an Answer ' : Top Biden Staffer Gets Ripped Apart by CNN on Live TV Countless opinions have been written about Roberts ’ ruling in that case , and American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never fully trusted the chief justice since ( with very good reason ) .
But the point here is not Roberts ’ mangling of the law to get his desired result — or even the likely result of the new Obamacare case .
It ’ s Biden ’ s willful misrepresentation of what Barrett wrote about Obamacare that matters .
She did not write that she wanted to get rid of Obamacare .
She wrote that the ruling that upheld it was a willful construction by Roberts that pushed the words of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In other words , if there is an argument that Obamacare and its infringements on American liberty are constitutional , Roberts ’ ruling didn ’ t make it .
“ A faithful judge resists the temptation to conflate the meaning of the Constitution with the judge ’ s own political preference , ” Barrett wrote later in the review piece .
Those are words every conservative can get behind – they ’ re words every American should get behind .
But they ’ re deadly to Democrats , who ’ ve spent decades @ @ @ @ @ @ @ win in a free and fair election .
Democrats know that , which is why they ’ ve turned Supreme Court confirmations – a hitherto routine part of constitutional government – into one more front in their endless attacks on the constitutional government established by the Founders .

westernjournal--2020-10-12--‘Voters Deserve an Answer’: Top Biden Staffer Gets Ripped Apart by CNN on Live TV

During a campaign stop at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Thursday , Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was asked by a reporter whether he supports “ packing ” the Supreme Court — increasing the number of justices from the nine seated since 1869 in order to dilute the impact of those with different political views .
His reply ?
He will tell voters after the November election .
“ You will know my opinion on court-packing when the election is over , ” Biden said .
“ The moment I answer that question , the headline in every one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rather than focusing on what ’ s happening now.
” This is an astonishing answer from any politician .
One day later , the former vice president said voters didn ’ t deserve to know his view on expanding the court .
CNN ’ s Jake Tapper was taken aback by Biden ’ s refusal to reveal his position on such a consequential issue .
In a Sunday interview with Biden campaign spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield on his show , “ State of the Union , ” he pressed her on it , surprisingly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden ’ s ( and her own ) refusal to answer on President Donald Trump .
Tapper rightly believes that voters deserve to know where every candidate stands on the issues .
“ It ’ s a simple question , and it ’ s one , frankly , that Trump did not invent , ” he told Bedingfield .
“ It came from the progressives in the Democratic Party , and I thought it was odd when Vice President Biden said the other day in response to a reporter ’ s question that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this .
Of course , voters deserve an answer on his position on every issue.
” Bedingfield dodged and weaved , saying , “ Well , we ’ re not gon na play their game .
He ’ s given an answer .
He ’ s answered the question — I mean — he has probably answered this question 15 times over the course of the last week .
“ The answer is , I am not going to play Donald Trump ’ s game .
I am not going to allow the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a hypothetical that assumes , by the way , that we , the Democrats , are gon na lose here .
I mean really , that ’ s what ’ s at the core of this argument they ’ re making.
” She continued to babble on nervously .
No , Kate , what ’ s at the core of this argument is that answering this question puts your candidate in a lose-lose situation .
If Biden disavows stacking the court , he risks losing the support of the radical left wing of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plans to expand the court , he could lose some moderates and independents .
To his credit , Tapper didn ’ t let her off the hook .
RELATED : Joe Biden Slurs His Way Through Opening Remarks : 'Because Uh , by Cause It 's Ellen General Motors' “ I think a serious policy question is not a game , ” he said .
“ I don ’ t think it ’ s Trump ’ s game , but Kate Bedingfield , we always appreciate you coming on the show and answering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In the previous segment , Tapper questioned Bedingfield about the Biden campaign ’ s portrayal of the nomination and confirmation process of Judge Amy Coney Barrett as the next Supreme Court justice as “ unconstitutional.
” Again , Bedingfield failed to tell Tapper how exactly this process is unconstitutional .
( It isn ’ t . )
“ Voters are being denied their constitutional right to have a say in this process .
The Republicans are trying to ram through a nominee who , by the way , is going to change the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see time and time again , poll after poll shows that most Americans vehemently disagree with this , ” she said .
Tapper stopped Bedingfield , saying , “ That is not what the word ‘ constitutional ’ means .
‘ Constitutional ’ doesn ’ t mean ‘ I like it or don ’ t like it.
’ It means it ’ s according to the U.S. Constitution .
There ’ s nothing unconstitutional about what the U.S. Senate is doing.
” America is a democratic republic .
Voters choose their leaders based @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of issues that , if elected , they are likely to face .
I ’ ve never heard of a candidate declaring voters don ’ t deserve to know what he stands for or against — especially when his position could potentially politicize the one branch of government that was intended by our Founders to remain apolitical .
Will moderate Democrats and independents really allow Biden and his running mate , Sen. Kamala Harris , to avoid answering this critical question ?
If Democrats win the presidency , flip the Senate and keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ full control of the federal government and will be free to reshape the country as they please .
And , unlike the opposition President Franklin Roosevelt faced from members of his own party in 1937 when he tried to pack the court , Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would strongly support such a measure .
Do Americans truly understand the consequences of stacking the Supreme Court ?
By adding a sufficient number of radical justices to the highest court in the land to ensure liberal rulings for years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in robes .
Yes , Republicans could add justices to the court to reverse the damage done the next time their party holds the White House and majorities in both the Senate and the House .
However , if the Democrats were able to enact their entire agenda — which would likely include abolishing the electoral college , granting statehood to Washington , D.C. , and Puerto Rico , ending the legislative filibuster and more — the Republican Party likely would never get the opportunity .
Up until now , most politicians have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as July 2019 , Biden himself spoke out against this action in an interview with The Iowa Starting Line .
“ No , I ’ m not prepared to go on and try to pack the court , because we ’ ll live to rue that day , ” he told a reporter .

But Biden , never one to shy away from a flip-flop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Democratic Party ’ s far left wing now .
In order to win the nomination , he made a deal with the devil , giving power to leftists such as Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York .
They are now helping to set the campaign ’ s agenda .
Do moderate Democrats and independents comprehend the gravity of a vote for Biden ?
Do they understand the chain of events a Biden win would trigger ?

No, Kate, what’s at the core of this argument is that answering this question puts your candidate in a lose-lose situation.

BRUTAL. Tapper takes Biden’s deputy campaign manager to task on Biden’s accusation that filling a judicial vacancy is ‘unconstitutional’ “That’s not what the word constitutional means.

America is a democratic republic. Voters choose their leaders based on candidates’ positions on an array of issues that, if elected, they are likely to face.
I’ve never heard of a candidate declaring voters don’t deserve to know what he stands for or against — especially when his position could potentially politicize the one branch of government that was intended by our Founders to remain apolitical.
Will moderate Democrats and independents really allow Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, to avoid answering this critical question?
If Democrats win the presidency, flip the Senate and keep their House majority, they will hold full control of the federal government and will be free to reshape the country as they please.
And, unlike the opposition President Franklin Roosevelt faced from members of his own party in 1937 when he tried to pack the court, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would strongly support such a measure.
Do Americans truly understand the consequences of stacking the Supreme Court? By adding a sufficient number of radical justices to the highest court in the land to ensure liberal rulings for years to come, justices would become politicians in robes.
Yes, Republicans could add justices to the court to reverse the damage done the next time their party holds the White House and majorities in both the Senate and the House. However, if the Democrats were able to enact their entire agenda — which would likely include abolishing the electoral college, granting statehood to Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, ending the legislative filibuster and more — the Republican Party likely would never get the opportunity.
Up until now, most politicians have opposed stacking the court. As late as July 2019, Biden himself spoke out against this action in an interview with The Iowa Starting Line. “No, I’m not prepared to go on and try to pack the court, because we’ll live to rue that day,” he told a reporter.
Moreover, many of us have seen the clip of Biden calling Roosevelt’s attempt to pack the court a “bonehead idea” in 1983.
But Biden, never one to shy away from a flip-flop, appears to be under the control of the Democratic Party’s far left wing now. In order to win the nomination, he made a deal with the devil, giving power to leftists such as Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. They are now helping to set the campaign’s agenda.
Do moderate Democrats and independents comprehend the gravity of a vote for Biden? Do they understand the chain of events a Biden win would trigger? A Biden/Harris administration would destroy the country from within. Aided and abetted by the corrupt mainstream media, which have become about as truthful as China’s state media, President Biden would preside over the decline of a once-great nation.
Trump must force his opponent to take a position on the issue of court-packing. In his final debate with Biden, the president needs to keep pushing on this issue so that voters understand what the Democrats’ endgame is.
The Trump campaign must hammer this subject in the next three weeks — relentlessly. It needs to saturate the airwaves with warnings about it.
Every conservative should take the time to educate his or her uninformed friends about the stakes America is facing and explain the urgency of this election and the importance of every single Trump vote we can muster.

westernjournal--2020-10-12--John McCain’s Surviving Family Gets Tragic News

Roberta Wright McCain , the mother of Sen. John McCain who used her feisty spirit to help convince voters during his 2008 presidential campaign , has died .
She was 108 .
A spokesperson for daughter-in-law Cindy McCain says Roberta McCain died Monday .
A cause of death was not immediately released .
At 96 , Roberta McCain became the Republican senator ’ s secret weapon at campaign stops as evidence that voters need not worry about her son ’ s age — past 70 — as he sought the presidency .
She remained energetic and active into her 90s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sister Rowena , who died at age 99 .
She attended the 2008 Republican National Convention , where her son credited “ her love of life , her deep interest in the world , her strength , and her belief we are all meant to use our opportunities to make ourselves useful to our country .
I wouldn ’ t be here tonight but for the strength of her character.
” It was 1933 when a 20-year-old Roberta Wright defied her family and eloped with John McCain Jr .
Documents released in 2008 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ John Jr. got into trouble when the couple decided to marry and he left his ship without permission .
“ I got married young , ” she told The Muskogee Phoenix in her native Oklahoma in 2008 .
“ I was 20 years old , and it was the best decision I ever made.
” She married into a storied military family — her husband retired in 1972 with the rank of four-star admiral , the same rank held by his father , John S. “ Slew ” McCain Sr .
Her son @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vietnam even as his father was commander in chief of Pacific forces by the late 1960s .
Roberta McCain also was a young mother when her three children were born , later telling the Oklahoma paper that she was “ too young and irresponsible to know you were supposed to worry about them .
I just let them go .
I got a kick out of watching them.
” The senator , who died in 2018 , said in 2008 that his “ father was often at sea , and the job of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would fall to my mother alone.
” Her other son , Joe , told The Associated Press in 2007 that the family had endless dinner-table discussions about history , politics and legislation led by their mother .
“ We were all basically on the same side of the fence , ” Joe McCain said .

Roberta Wright McCain, the mother of Sen. John McCain who used her feisty spirit to help convince voters during his 2008 presidential campaign, has died. She was 108.
A spokesperson for daughter-in-law Cindy McCain says Roberta McCain died Monday. A cause of death was not immediately released.
At 96, Roberta McCain became the Republican senator’s secret weapon at campaign stops as evidence that voters need not worry about her son’s age — past 70 — as he sought the presidency.
She remained energetic and active into her 90s, traveling often with her identical twin sister Rowena, who died at age 99.
She attended the 2008 Republican National Convention, where her son credited “her love of life, her deep interest in the world, her strength, and her belief we are all meant to use our opportunities to make ourselves useful to our country. I wouldn’t be here tonight but for the strength of her character.”
It was 1933 when a 20-year-old Roberta Wright defied her family and eloped with John McCain Jr.
Documents released in 2008 showed that as a young ensign, John Jr. got into trouble when the couple decided to marry and he left his ship without permission.
“I got married young,” she told The Muskogee Phoenix in her native Oklahoma in 2008. “I was 20 years old, and it was the best decision I ever made.”
She married into a storied military family — her husband retired in 1972 with the rank of four-star admiral, the same rank held by his father, John S. “Slew” McCain Sr. Her son was later held as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam even as his father was commander in chief of Pacific forces by the late 1960s.
Roberta McCain also was a young mother when her three children were born, later telling the Oklahoma paper that she was “too young and irresponsible to know you were supposed to worry about them. I just let them go. I got a kick out of watching them.”
The senator, who died in 2018, said in 2008 that his “father was often at sea, and the job of raising my brother, sister and me would fall to my mother alone.”
Her other son, Joe, told The Associated Press in 2007 that the family had endless dinner-table discussions about history, politics and legislation led by their mother.
“We were all basically on the same side of the fence,” Joe McCain said. “But it was like Talmudic scholars arguing about a single word or an adjective in the Testament.”
When Sen. John McCain wrote a memoir about his experience as a POW for nearly six years in a north Vietnamese prison, he described times when he swore in English at his Vietnamese guards, who didn’t understand.
His mother later told him: “Johnny, I’m going to come over there and wash your mouth out with soap.”
Her granddaughter, Meghan McCain, recalled her strong will and sense of duty in a 2012 column for The Daily Beast website, writing that Roberta McCain did not have “a lot of patience for excuses, especially from my father when he was growing up and acting out.”
“She once hit him over the head with a thermos in the back of a car because he was acting up so badly on a road trip,” wrote Meghan McCain.
The McCain matriarch’s spunky personality became the stuff of stories for the family — and among those in their circle of Washington society.
“Last Christmas, she wanted to drive around France. So she flew to Paris and tried to rent a car,” the senator once joked. “They said she was too old, so she bought one and drove around France.”
Roberta Wright was born Feb. 7, 1912, in Muskogee, Oklahoma, where her father was a businessman whose varied, colorful enterprises included bootlegging and oil wildcatting. The family moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1920s.
Her husband commanded submarines in World War II and was second in command of the cruiser St. Paul during the Korean War. He later held key posts including the Navy’s chief of congressional liaison, and died in 1981.
In 1934, when a fitness report deemed him underweight, the future admiral wrote: “My wife doesn’t know how to cook, and my meals are very irregular.”

Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who served as the state’s attorney general prior to his 2010 election as governor, is being mentioned as a possible attorney general if Democratic candidate Joe Biden wins the presidential election.
According to Axios, sources said that aides at the National Governors Association are “so convinced” that Cuomo will want to return to Washington that they are looking for a replacement to serve as chair if Cuomo, the current chair, departs.
Cuomo served as secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the Clinton administration from 1997 to 2001.
Axios reported that Cuomo “is being pushed for the job” but also that the governor, whose term ends in 2022, is not interested in serving.
“One hundred percent he’s made zero outreach, has had zero conversations about this and has made his desire to stay in New York clear as day and be governor as long as people want him,” Richard Azzopardi, an adviser to Cuomo, said in a statement, according to the New York Post.
Of course, Biden would have to win the election in order to add Cuomo to the administration, a possibility the Trump campaign dismissed out of hand.
“There is zero chance that President Trump will appoint Gov. Cuomo attorney general in his second term,” Tim Murtaugh, director of communications for Trump’s 2020 campaign, told Fox News.
A possible Cuomo appointment raised eyebrows on Twitter.
Joe Biden is actively considering Andrew Cuomo to be the Attorney General of the United States if he is elected. If you didn’t have a reason to vote against him before, you should have one now. — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) October 12, 2020
Two years ago, Andrew Cuomo told a gathering of Democrats that “America was never that great.” For him to be a potential Attorney General tells you everything you need to know about Joe Biden’s values and how he would govern our great nation. https://t.co/DuobZt8yr5 — BDW (@BryanDeanWright) October 11, 2020
Democrats are so convinced that Andrew Cuomo could be considered for Joe Biden’s attorney general that aides at the National Governors Association, which Cuomo chairs, are looking into contingencies for replacing him, two sources tell Axios. https://t.co/4yGBx9Mwlr — Axios (@axios) October 11, 2020
It’s all fun and games until Andrew Cuomo puts Joe Biden in a nursing home https://t.co/2aADYxOlk8 — Harry Khachatrian (@Harry1T6) October 11, 2020
Axios noted that Biden and Cuomo are personally close, as Biden had known Cuomo’s father, the late New York Gov. Mario Cuomo.
According to Axios, Biden will face extensive pressure to have a gender and racially diverse Cabinet and named former acting attorney general Sally Yates and high-profile former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams as possible names on a Biden list.
Is this another reason to vote against Joe Biden? Yes No

Although Cuomo has thrust himself into the national limelight during his state’s battle with the coronavirus, controversy has followed him as New York has emerged with the second-highest death rate in the nation.
A Cuomo order that sent many COVID-19 patients into nursing homes has been linked with a spike in deaths at those facilities, The New York Times reported.
Cuomo is also currently battling claims that his recent actions to crack down on Jewish houses of worship are “unwarranted, unnecessary and unconstitutional restrictions,” according to The Times.
