Legitimacy of Biden Win Buried by Objective Data. During the weeks following November 3, innumerable election experts and statistical analysts have pored over the voting data upon which former Vice President Joe Biden’s purported campaign victory ostensibly stands.
Michael Flynn Pardon Justified Clemency. President Trump’s pardon of retired General Michael Flynn, who fleetingly served as his first national-security adviser, was a justified act of clemency.
You don’t have to be a fan of how Trump has wielded his pardon power (often recklessly and on behalf of friends and supporters) or believe that Flynn was a good choice for national-security adviser or has conducted himself prudently and honorably the last several years (he hasn’t) to acknowledge that this is so. Flynn should never have been the subject of an FBI investigation; the FBI’s behavior in interviewing Flynn was reprehensible; and the pardon restores the appropriate balance of prosecutorial power, which was put askew by the misconduct of federal district-court judge Emmet Sullivan.
It is due only to Judge Sullivan’s unhinged outbursts that Flynn was not convicted and sentenced on December 18, 2018. In late 2017, Flynn had pled guilty before a different judge to one count of making false statements to the government. U.S. The Democrats’ Guide to Losing Gracefully - Ann Coulter. Here are the times Democrats have conceded a presidential election with grace and dignity: OK, now on to my column.
I hope someone is recording the media’s demands that Trump supporters ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION! Inasmuch as the Democrats refuse to accept the results of any presidential election they lose, unless it’s a landslide, and sometimes even then. After George W. Bush won the 2000 election — despite the media depressing Bush turnout in Florida by calling the state for Gore when polls were still open in the conservative panhandle — Gore contested the election until Dec. 13, the day after the Supreme Court called off the endless recounts (in only certain Florida counties) demanded by Gore. The night of the court’s ruling, Laurence Tribe, the Harvard law professor who’d argued one of Gore’s cases before the court, and Ed Rendell, general chairman of the Democratic National Committee, went on TV and said it was time for Gore to concede. 10 Ways to Call Something Russian Disinformation Without Evidence - Reporting by Matt Taibbi. How do you call something “Russian disinformation” when you don’t have evidence it is?
Let’s count the ways. We don’t know a whole lot about how the New York Post story about Hunter Biden got into print. There are some reasons to think the material is genuine (including its cache of graphic photos and some apparent limited confirmation from people on the email chains), but in terms of sourcing, anything is possible. This material could have been hacked by any number of actors, and shopped for millions (as Time has reported), and all sorts of insidious characters - including notorious Russian partisans like Andrei Derkach - could have been behind it.
None of these details are known, however, which hasn’t stopped media companies from saying otherwise. Our spooks say it looks like the work of their spooks.A group of 50 “former senior intelligence officials” wrote a letter as soon as the Post story came out. DNI Ratcliffe: Hunter Biden's Laptop 'Not Part of Some Russian Disinformation Campaign' “In this case, Adam Schiff saying this is part of a disinformation campaign and that the intelligence community has assessed and believes that — that is simply not true.
Whether its Republicans or Democrats, if they try to leverage the intelligence community for political gain, I won’t allow it.” Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe confirmed Monday morning that “there is no intelligence” to suggest that Hunter Biden’s laptop is “part of some Russian disinformation campaign.” Russia, Russia, Russia! Anything that makes them look bad or corrupt the Democrats immediately points fingers at Russia.
That is exactly what they did when The New York Post published emails from Hunter Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son. The emails showed Hunter pursued rich deals with a Chinese private energy company. (@debragarrett) October 19, 2020 From Fox News: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, feminist pioneer and progressive icon, dies at 87 - SCOTUSblog. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a trailblazer who fought for gender equality as a lawyer and became a beloved hero of the progressive movement as a justice, died on Friday of complications from pancreatic cancer.
When she was confirmed to the Supreme Court in 1993, Ginsburg was a reserved and relatively unknown court of appeals judge, but during the course of her 27 years on the court she became an improbable pop-culture icon, inspiring everything from an Oscar-nominated documentary film to her own action figure. She was 87. With the presidential election less than two months away, Ginsburg’s death will undoubtedly kick off a heated battle over how quickly the vacancy should be filled.
After Justice Antonin Scalia died in February 2016, Senate Republicans immediately announced that they intended to oppose any effort to confirm a successor to Scalia until after the 2016 presidential election. The Biden camp’s strategy – The New Neo. [NOTE: I’m going to start referring to Joe Biden as “the Biden camp.”
For quite a while I’ve been writing “Joe Biden and/or his handlers” to refer to said group, but “the Biden camp” is shorter and it essentially means the same thing. We don’t really know who’s calling the shots right now, or to what extent Biden himself can come up with something one might call a strategy.] The Democrats are banking on the idea that no one ever went broke underestimating the America public.

How Socialized Medicine Hurts Canadians and Leaves Them Worse Off Financially. The Canadian health care system is frequently used as a model by Americans who advocate putting the government in charge of health care. As Senator Bernie Sanders (I–VT) put it: “In Canada, for a number of decades, they have provided quality care to all people without out-of-pocket expenses. You go in for cancer therapy, you don’t take out your wallet.”1 “Bernie Sanders Announces 2020 Run: Full Transcript,” CBS This Morning, February 19, 2019, (accessed February 3, 2020).
