during debate against Warnock, media admit
Posted By: Moritz55, 10/15/2022 1:25:45 PM
Mainstream journalists and even liberal media figures admitted that Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker did better than expected during his Friday night debate against his Democratic opponent Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga. NBC News contributors, local news commentators, former Daily Beast writers, and even MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hasan acknowledged that the Walker’s debate performance was "not as bad as it could have been." One claimed that Warnock, the Democratic pro-choice pastor, looked weak and should have fought back harder against Walker’s aggressive criticism, and another even declared Walker the victor.

suggesting oil reserve release is meant
to help Democrats 2 replies
President Biden appeared taken aback Wednesday at multiple reporters suggesting that his tapping into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) was politically motivated with the midterms three weeks away. Biden announced the release of 15 million more barrels of oil from the emergency reserve, saying it would lower gas prices and bolster domestic oil production. As he concluded his remarks at the White House, a reporter shouted out at him, leading him to sarcastically ask her to "speak louder."
"What is your response to Republicans who say you are only doing this SPR release to help Democrats in the midterms?" the reporter asked.
"Where have they been the last four months?
Journalists and other left-wing activists are freaking out over a New York Times poll that shows Republicans leading Democrats by 4 percentage points among likely voters ahead of next month's midterm elections. They were particularly aggrieved by the poll's finding that Republicans were tied with Democrats at 47 percent among female voters and were supported by 34 percent of Hispanic voters and 18 percent of black voters. Those are terrible numbers for Democrats.
We don't know how the election is going to play out, but at least one thing is guaranteed: If Democrats lose, they are going to blame everyone but themselves for the outcome.
A jury on Tuesday found Russian national Igor Danchenko, the primary sub-source of the anti-Trump dossier, not guilty on all four counts of making false statements to the FBI.
The charges had been brought by Special Counsel John Durham, who is investigating the origins of the FBI's original Trump-Russia investigation.
The Danchenko trial is the second out of Durham's years-long investigation, and the second time a jury delivered an acquittal.
Former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann was found not guilty of making false statements to the FBI in June.
Republican lawmakers reacted to a report that first lady Jill Biden was upset that nobody tried to stop President Biden’s last solo press conference nine months ago. The New York Times reported on Sunday that, following the president’s latest solo press conference in January where he did not follow then-press secretary Jen Psaki’s cue to wrap it up, the first lady tore into top White House officials demanding to know why no one intervened.
Several GOP lawmakers shared their thoughts on the report with Fox News Digital, with Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., quipping Jill "knows a train wreck when she sees one."
After the rockets comes the propaganda — pro-Russian voices have claimed that wounded people in Kyiv were just actors staging their suffering. But a DW fact check shows that the victims are real. After a period of relative calm, war has returned to the Ukrainian capital in recent days as Russia continues its attacks on Kyiv.
Bombardments were particularly intense on October 10, the day with the heaviest attacks since Russia's invasion began. According to official figures, 19 people were killed in Kyiv and other regions as a result, and 105 people were injured. In Kyiv alone, 43 people were hospitalized that day according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko
Top House Democrats Maxine Waters and James Clyburn have continued to shell out tens of thousands of dollars in campaign funds to their family members ahead of the November midterm elections. The re-election campaign for Waters, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee chairwoman, paid a total of $16,000 to the congresswoman's daughter in four separate payments in July and September of this year.
Karen Waters, who has been organizing slate-mailing operations to bolster her mother's re-election since 2003, and her company, Progressive Connections, have received more than $1.2 million from Waters’ campaign over the past nearly two decades.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) released by the government last Thursday showed an 8.2% year-over-year price increase from September 2021 to September 2022.
The CPI has edged down steadily from a 40-year high of 9.1% in June to 8.2% in September.
The official CPI does not tell the whole story of price increases under President Biden. Bidenflation, measured by the TIPP CPI using the same underlying data, stood at 12.8% in September. It was 12.6% in August and July and12.7% in June.
We developed the TIPP CPI, a metric that uses February 2021, the month after President Biden’s inauguration, as its base.
Economic concerns and "intense" disapproval of President Biden are giving Republicans an edge with independent voters in the upcoming election, according to recent polling from The New York Times. A NYT/Siena College poll found independent female voters in particular swung dramatically to the right in the past month, despite Democrats' focus on abortion rights.
"In September, they favored Democrats by 14 points. Now, independent women backed Republicans by 18 points— a striking swing given the polarization of the American electorate and how intensely Democrats have focused on that group and on the threat Republicans pose to abortion rights," the paper reported.
In this age of hyper-partisanship and polarization, there is a dangerous trend in politics this election cycle: candidates refusing to face their opponents in debates.
These candidates expect to win the job with no job interview. Their rationale? The organizations hosting the events are “partisan.”
Some politicians are using this tiresome excuse to avoid answering tough questions and tackling issues that may be politically charged. Getting candidates on the record about issues and positions is integral to every debate and informs the voting public.
Georgia Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock and Libertarian businessman Chase Oliver took the stage Sunday night for the second Senate debate ahead of November's election, but Republican Herschel Walker was represented by an empty podium.
Walker's absence was highlighted throughout the evening by Warnock, Oliver and debate moderators, who even gave the present candidates the opportunity to respond to an answer the former football star "might've" given.
"I think it’s important to point out that my opponent Herschel Walker is not here, and I think that half of being a senator is showing up," Warnock said at the beginning of the debate.
Biden said in a speech that Pakistan has "nuclear weapons without any cohesion." Pakistan's foreign minister then issued a formal summons, known as a demarche, to the US ambassador.
Pakistan demanded an explanation Saturday from US Ambassador Donald Blome after US President Joe Biden referred to the South Asian country as being "maybe one of the most dangerous nations in the world."
In a speech Thursday at a fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in California, Biden said Pakistan's nuclear stockpile is "without cohesion." The White House later published his remarks on its website, igniting a response in Islamabad.

Actor George Clooney, who’s smeared conservatives for years, claims so-called Republican cruelty is damaging American democracy. Doing His best Dark Brandon impersonation with CNN’s low-rated Chris Wallace on his HBO Max show, Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?, the Ticket to Paradise star told the former Fox News host that Republicans are responsible for a “coarsening of America.”
Clooney used the recent transfers of illegal aliens by Republican governors to liberal areas of the country as his prime example.
Clooney said America is going down the wrong path, especially with its political discourse. He lamented how “everyone jumps up and down and cheers
Stacey Abrams, the Democratic nominee for governor in Georgia, floated abortion as a solution to voters’ concerns about inflation on Wednesday, explaining to a Morning Joe viewers that “having children is why you’re worried about your price for gas, it’s why you’re concerned about how much food costs.”
Abrams, who lost the 2018 gubernatorial election to incumbent Republican Brian Kemp, was responding to a question about what she would do to address inflation.
“While abortion is an issue, it nowhere near reaches the level of interest of voters in terms of the cost of gas, food, bread, milk… what could you do as governor to alleviate the concerns

His Top Legislative Priority If Democrats

President Biden is expected to pledge during a Tuesday night speech that his top legislative priority after the midterms will be codifying a national right to abortion, should the Democratic Party retain control of the House and expand its Senate footprint.
During his remarks at the Howard Theater in Washington, D.C. Tuesday night, Biden is expected to pledge that the first bill he will send to legislators in a new Democratic Congress will codify Roe v. Wade, the New York Times first reported. The move is intended to galvanize his support among Democratic and independent women as his polling numbers slump ahead of November’s midterm elections.
Democrats’ attempt to distract
The View" host Joy Behar recently intimated that she finds the economic concerns of voters "sad and depressing” when compared to the threat to democracy she believes Republicans pose.
The ditzy one added that people simply don't know "what the stakes are" ahead of the midterm elections.
When ABC News political director Rick Klein stated that he believes Republicans were likely going to take the House in the upcoming election, Behar sneeringly asked him, "When your reporters say, you know, you tell me they’re [voters] worried about gas, they’re worried about this, they’re worried about that, do the reporters follow up and say
Every day, Joe Biden’s rapidly declining mental state becomes more of an issue.
Just yesterday, Biden read out D-O-T instead of saying dot-com, like a normal, mentally-fit human adult person would do.
But today, he went a step further during a Democratic National Committee event in Washington, D.C.
First lady Jill Biden has reportedly wielded influence over President Joe Biden’s decisions, directly participated in vetting White House officials, and worked to protect her husband from lengthy press conferences.
Jill Biden confronted senior members of the president’s staff after Joe Biden spoke at a conference in January, demanding to know who was supposed to end the conference, The New York Times reported Monday, citing a witness to the confrontation.
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Tuesday that the Jan. 6 committee's subpoena of former President Donald Trump is imminent.
Speaking at a forum at Harvard University, Cheney stressed the subpoena, which the House select committee approved unanimously last week, is for Trump's testimony and for documents related to events surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
"So we'll be issuing a subpoena shortly, both for his testimony under oath as well as for documents. And we'll take whatever next steps we have to take assuming that he will fulfill his legal obligation and honor the subpoena, but if that doesn't happen, we'll take the steps after that," Cheney said.
Igor Danchenko, a primary contributor to the Trump-Russia dossier, has been acquitted of lying to the FBI regarding his sources for some claims in the document in a loss for special counsel John Durham.
The jury declared the source, an analyst who compiled the bulk of the dossier drafted by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele and which alleged collusion between former president Trump’s 2016 campaign and Moscow, not guilty on all four charges. Danchenko was accused of having made false statements regarding the sources of some information that he provided to a U.K. investigative firm in 2017 that was later passed to the FBI. Durham
Pro-abortion “D-list celebrity” Meghan Markle says she was treated like a “bimbo” and “objectified” while performing as a “briefcase girl” on the gameshow Deal or No Deal.
“Back in 2006, I had a short stint as a briefcase girl on the U.S. version of the gameshow,” Markle explained during Tuesday’s episode of her Archetypes podcast, in which she and Paris Hilton talked about the “bimbo” stereotype.
“My experience on this show, which included holding said briefcase onstage, alongside 25 other women doing the same, it was, for me, fascinating,” Markle added. “I had studied acting in college — and like a lot of the other women standing onstage with me,
Ghislaine Maxwell has admitted she thinks her pedophile ex-partner Jeffrey Epstein’s death behind bars three years ago is “profoundly suspicious.”
The locked-up socialite told documentary filmmaker Daphne Barak that she was “totally shocked” when her well-connected ex was found dead in his Manhattan cell in August 2019 — and still has doubts it was suicide.

An electric vehicle (EV) owner who takes road trips between Cheyenne and Casper in Wyoming has revealed that his first trip of 178 miles took a staggering 15 hours to complete in his electric Nissan Leaf.
“It was very difficult. For example, [it took] 15 hours to get from Cheyenne to Casper,” Alan O’Hashi told Cowboy State Daily, adding that this particular trip wasn’t taken in the beginning of the EV era. It was in May 2022.
One month later, O’Hashi was able to complete the road trip in about 11 hours, he said. To put it into perspective,
