The New York Post dropped its second major report on Hunter Biden’s emails on Tuesday. The Hunter Biden emails reveal how Hunter Biden worked to cash in big on China and to withhold money for his dad! Joe Biden was IN ON IT! (Photo) In response to these devastating reports Twitter has censored and banned several Trump accounts including White House spokesperson Kayleign McEnany and the Team Trump account.This is electioneering!
A spokesperson for Twitter defended the company’s decision to censor a bombshell story from the New York Post about Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The company is citing its policy on “hacked materials” as the reason why it decided to limit its users’ ability to share the story, but it is not clear that any hacking was involved in procuring the trove of emails at all.Twitter came under intense fire on Wednesday when it censored a story from the New York Post about Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
Twitter locked the account of @TeamTrump, an official Trump campaign account, citing the same policy it used to ban links to the New York Post’s bombshell story on hitherto unrevealed links between Joe Biden and the Ukrainian gas giant Burisma. Mike Hahn, a social media manager for Team Trump, revealed the censorship in a tweet earlier today.“Twitter has suspended TeamTrump for posting a video calling Joe Biden a liar who has been ripping off our country for years, as it relates to the @nypost article” said Hahn. He added the suspension comes “19 days out from the election.”
President Donald Trump traveled to Des Moines, Iowa, on Wednesday where he held a rally and removed his tie after putting on a red Make America Great Again hat.The move came as President Trump discussed his administration’s accomplishments for the American people and his plans for the next four years of his presidency, should he be reelected.“It’s windy out here,” Trump said, holding up the red cap. “If you can wear the hat, I can wear the hat.” (Tweet) “Should I take off the tie or not? What do you think?” Trump asked the crowd shortly after he placed the hat on his head. “I don’t know. Maybe. Yes?”
Kristopher Jacks, chair of Our Revolution in Weld County, CO, was caught on video telling an undercover reporter for the incredible Project Veritas that “2020 is a political revolution” and how he is “going to do everything morally acceptable to win.” The only problem is, Jacks’ definition of “morally acceptable” is not exactly the universally accepted definition of the term. Jacks’ explains, “I will lie. I will cheat. I will steal,” because, according to the chair of Our Revolution, “that’s morally acceptable in this political environment.”
President Donald Trump reacted Wednesday at a campaign rally in Des Moines, Iowa, to new evidence showing that former Vice President Joe Biden met with foreign interests represented by his son Hunter Biden.“The Bidens got rich while Americans got robbed,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Des Moines, Iowa.The president cited the bombshell New York Post story uncovering emails sent from Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to Ukrainian energy company Burisma, to Hunter Biden, thanking him for helping arrange a meeting with his father.Hunter Biden received between $50,000 and $83,000 a month from Burisma to sit on the board.
The “1619 Project” of the New York Times, which falsely claimed that the American Revolution was fought partly to preserve slavery, has been named to the “Top Ten Works of Journalism of the Decade” by New York University’s journalism school. The Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute announced Wednesday that the “1619 Project” had made the decade’s top ten for “placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of our national narrative.” (Tweet)
Missouri Senator Josh Hawley blasted Jack Dorsey on Wednesday night after the Twitter CEO admitted that the platform’s actions banning the explosive Hunter Biden report from the New York Post was “unacceptable.”In a tweet about Twitter’s censorship, Dorsey wrote that “our communication around our actions on the @nypost article was not great. (Snip) In response, Sen. Hawley, who is known for his crusade against big tech censorship wrote that it was “not nearly good enough” and that the platform may have violated election law, which is a crime.“@Twitter @jack this is not nearly good enough. In fact, it’s a joke. It’s downright insulting. I will ask you –
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany hit out at Twitter on Wednesday night after it locked her personal account over a tweet referencing a story about Joe Biden's dealings with his son Hunter's business associates in the Ukraine.Speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News, McEnany accused the social media giant of bias and censorship for only banning content that 'hurts the side of the aisle that Silicon Valley prefers'. She accused the social media giant of allowing articles that accused Trump of collusion with Russia to be posted on its site, despite the president being cleared during his impeachment trial earlier this year.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden had to correct himself after an interview for incorrectly stating that a Pennsylvania plant was “thinking of shutting down.”The former vice president set off employee fears at a locomotive manufacturer in Erie during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania over the weekend. In an interview with a local news channel, Biden mentioned that he thought the company was thinking of closing, but later corrected himself. However, the initial report caused concerns at the company which ended up having to issue a statement refuting the Democrat’s comment.
Someone hacked a handful of upstate road-work signs to boost President Trump’s reelection and nettle Gov. Cuomo over his coronavirus response Wednesday.The trickster got the light-up variable-message signs to display missives including “TRUMP 2020” and “CUOMO KILLED NY.”“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” said Beacon resident Erin Mayne Kleinke, who posted snapshots of the unusual signs on her Facebook page. “I wasn’t sure who was doing the work and I thought, ‘Jeez, somebody’s going to be in trouble.'”“Maybe it was hacked, I don’t know,” Kleinke told The Post. “I don’t know.”

Tommy Lee, known best as the drummer of the heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, has promised to leave the United States if President Trump wins re-election in November.
The 58-year-old musician told The Big Issue he'll go back to Greece, where he was born.
“Dude, I swear to god if that happens then I’m coming over to visit the U.K. I’m out of here," Lee said. "I’ll go back to my motherland, go back to go Greece and get a house on one of the islands."
Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah is stressing that the country’s politics has “moved away from the spirited debate to a vile, vituperative, hate-filled morass that is unbecoming of any free nation.” And the 2012 GOP presidential nominee warns that the "rabid attacks kindle the conspiracy mongers and the haters" to launch "dangerous action” such as the recent kidnapping plot against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Former President Barack Obama, still a hugely popular figure among Democrats, fronted a new video campaign Tuesday to get out the vote for Joe Biden.In videos tailored for states vital to Biden's challenge against President Donald Trump, Obama urges voters to get organized ahead of an election disrupted by COVID-19, increased use of mail-in ballots, and Trump's unprecedented - and debunked - claims of a rigged contest. En route to Florida Tuesday, Biden also said Obama would soon be hitting the campaign trail too. 'He's doing enough for our campaign. He'll be out on the trail,' Biden told reporters.
As the Senate conducts its hearing to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court this week, the timing of her nomination — just a week and a day after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and weeks before a presidential election — has enraged Democrats in Congress and many Democratic voters. (Snip) And exit polls showed that nationally, more voters opposed Kavanaugh’s nomination than supported it. The numbers were especially stark among women.
If Barrett has a similar effect on turnout — mobilizing more Democrats than Republicans — that’s even math that Trump can do, and it isn’t good for him.
Trump needs every vote he can get.
Sen. Kamala Harris is the very embodiment of today’s progressives. She proved this again and again on the debate stage with Vice President Mike Pence, most clearly in her continual willingness to twist or rewrite history to make a point.
This time she simply made up a story about Abraham Lincoln’s decision to appoint Salmon P. Chase to the U.S. Supreme Court as the election of 1864 approached. Chief Justice Roger Taney, author of the notorious Dred Scott decision and an implacable foe of the president, died in early October. In Ms. Harris’ version of what happened next, Lincoln delayed appointing his successor until after the election
Why don’t we all recognize this horror?

Recently, my pastor noted during his homily that it was Respect Life week. He mentioned that President Trump had signed an executive order to protect babies born alive. The order reads: "Every infant born alive, no matter the circumstances of his or her birth, has the same dignity and the same rights as every other individual and is entitled to the same protections under federal law.”
I wasn’t sure why he issued this order because President George Bush had signed into law H.R.2175 - Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002. (snip) it’s obvious that the protection act was not being fully enforced.
We live in an age of nearly limitless access to information, where nearly anyone can find the accurate definition for esoteric systems of thought. And yet, for the last few days, a succession of reporters, actors, and even lawyers have used social media to spew ignorance about “originalism” in the context of jurisprudence. Almost as one, they have rushed to Twitter to hyperventilate about handmaidens and slavery, all of it nonsense. Even presidential-election contenders who really should know better have gotten into the act.
Not long ago, business was a very dry arena. If a company made a calculator, that’s all you would ever know. These days, it seems corporations have calculated the benefit of messaging. Therefore, they’re investing in the social and political realm. Case in point: Oreo has teamed with PFLAG — Parents and Friends of Lesbians And Gays — to release a special edition of its delicious, milk-ready mainstays. And not only that — the confection colossus has produced a short film about a mom and her lesbian daughter. As for the new multi-colored treats, don’t look for ’em in-store — they can only be won online.

In honor of National Coming Out Day, the National Football League (NFL) released a video celebrating former LGBTQ+ players and encouraging those still in the closet to come out. The heartwarming clip features former out gay and bisexual athletes Wade Davis, R.K. Russell, Jeff Rohrer, and Ryan O’Callaghan encouraging current athletes to live freely and speak their truth. They collectively announce: “To all current players who are thinking of coming out, when you are ready, so are we.” The clip also includes notable current NFL players such as Rob Gronkowski, DeAndre Hopkins, and Calais Campbell coming together in a display of allyship...
For those who have watched the Senate confirmation hearing of Amy Coney Barrett for Supreme Court justice, we know one thing: facing the inevitability of her confirmation, the Democrats are using this entire hearing as a big, fat campaign ad for Joe Biden. It's all about COVID, the ACA, and health care — just like his entire shtick for the last few months. But is this really all they are up to? History proves that the Dems are usually up to no good, especially when they seem to be behaving. It's possible they will just use the remainder of their time to filibuster,
As far as I can tell, critics have them dead to rights on this. Check the Wayback Machine and you’ll find that Merriam-Webster’s definition of “preference” said nothing about the term being offensive as of September 28, the last time the page was archived. Today the label “offensive” has been attached, with this note about usage:
Usage of Preference
The term preference as used to refer to sexual orientation is widely considered offensive in its implied suggestion that a person can choose who they are sexually or romantically attracted to.
It’s … strange that the alleged offensiveness of the term came to M-W’s attention only recently if it’s “widely considered” to be taboo.
They came, they questioned and they got nothing. It’s almost enough to make you feel sorry for Democrats. Almost.
With a history of vicious misbehavior and the political calendar limiting their ability to smear Amy Coney Barrett, Dems on the Senate Judiciary Committee were reduced to being annoying nags and finger-wagging scolds. They were never going to vote for any Supreme Court nominee of President Trump’s to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but they don’t even have the option of giving Barrett the Brett Kavanaugh 2.0 treatment.
