Upcoming Debate: CNN Ignores Biden Lies While Hammering Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

As the first presidential debate approaches, CNN’s glaring disparity in fact-checking between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump has raised serious concerns about media bias. A review of CNN’s fact-checking page reveals that the network has not conducted a single fact-check of President Biden since announcing their role as the debate host on May 15. In stark contrast, CNN has fact-checked Trump 11 times during the same period.

The last fact-check CNN conducted on Biden was on May 14, when he falsely claimed that inflation was at 9% when he took office. Since then, despite numerous opportunities, CNN has turned a blind eye to several of Biden’s false statements. Notably, Biden has made several claims that warranted scrutiny but were ignored by CNN’s fact-checking team.

In May, Biden erroneously stated that he was vice president during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said, “My dad was an automobile manager. Detroit put food on our table every night. Oh, not a joke. Not a joke. And when I was vice president, things were kinda bad during the pandemic. And what happened was, Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit! And help fix it.’ Well, [the] poor mayor, he spent more time with me than he ever thought he was gonna have to.”

More recently, at an NAACP event in Michigan, Biden falsely claimed he joined the NAACP as a teenager. “As a matter of fact, the first organization I ever joined was the N.A.A.C.P. Didn’t get to vote until you were 21 in those days, but I got involved in civil rights when I was 15,” Biden said. However, according to a 2019 Washington Post report, Biden joined the NAACP during his first political race for New Castle County Council in 1970, when he was in his late 20s.

CNN’s lack of fact-checking on Biden raises questions about their commitment to fair and unbiased journalism. The network’s responsibility is to provide balanced and accurate information to the public, especially during a crucial election period. By selectively targeting Trump while giving Biden a pass, CNN fails to uphold the standards of objective reporting.

As the nation gears up for the first presidential debate, it is imperative that all media outlets, including CNN, adhere to principles of fairness and impartiality. The American people deserve a media landscape where truth is pursued relentlessly, regardless of political affiliation. It is time for CNN to step up and ensure that both candidates are subjected to the same level of scrutiny.

Election Model Gives Trump a Strong 2-in-3 Chance of Winning 2024 Presidential Race

/0 Comments/in , /by

Renowned statistician Nate Silver has released an election model forecasting a significant advantage for former President Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Silver, who founded and formerly led FiveThirtyEight, now predicts Trump has a robust 65.7% chance of reclaiming the White House.

Silver’s model, entitled “The presidential election isn’t a toss-up,” was published on his Substack at natesilver.net. According to the model, Trump is projected to secure 287.2 electoral votes, surpassing the 270 needed to win, while President Joe Biden is forecasted to win 250.4 electoral votes. This projection positions Trump as the frontrunner in a race that many have seen as highly competitive.

In the predicted popular vote share, Biden and Trump are essentially tied, with Biden at 47.2% and Trump at 47.1%. Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to receive 4.3% of the vote, though Silver’s model gives him no chance of winning the election.

Silver’s independent forecast stands in stark contrast to the model from FiveThirtyEight, now owned by ABC, which currently gives Biden a 51% chance of winning compared to Trump’s 49%. This significant difference highlights the contrasting methodologies and perspectives between Silver and the organization he once led.

Silver himself acknowledged the unexpected nature of his findings, writing, “The candidate who I honest-to-God think has a better chance (Trump) isn’t the candidate I’d rather have win (Biden).” He further emphasized that the close national popular vote between Biden and Trump translates to a significant advantage for Trump in the Electoral College, echoing trends seen in previous elections.

Silver’s analysis suggests that even a near tie in the popular vote could spell trouble for Biden, noting, “If the Electoral College/popular vote gap looks anything like it did in 2016 or 2020, you’d expect Biden to be in deep trouble if the popular vote is roughly tied.” This insight underscores the importance of battleground states and the nuances of the Electoral College system.

Currently, FiveThirtyEight’s average shows Biden and Trump neck and neck at 40.9% and 40.8%, respectively, with Kennedy at 9.3%. In contrast, Silver’s polling average places Trump slightly ahead at 42.3%, Biden at 41.3%, and Kennedy at 8%.

Silver describes his model as “the direct descendant of the… FiveThirtyEight election forecast,” maintaining that the methodology is largely unchanged, though he has omitted the coronavirus provisions introduced in 2020. This continuity in methodology lends credibility to Silver’s forecast, even as it diverges significantly from his former platform.

Trump’s path to victory seems more plausible than many in the establishment media might admit.

Feds ID 400 Migrants Smuggled Into U.S. by ISIS-Affiliated Network —With the Whereabouts of 50 Unknown

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Department of Homeland Security has identified over 400 migrants who were brought to the US from Central Asia and other places by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network — and the whereabouts of more than 50 of them are unknown, according to an unsettling report.

More than 150 of the migrants have been arrested, but the locations of another 50 remain unknown, three US officials told NBC News, adding that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is looking to arrest those involved on immigration charges.

“In this case, it was the information that suggested a potential tie to ISIS because of some of the individuals involved in [smuggling migrants to the border] that led us to want to take extra care,” a senior Biden administration official told the outlet, “and out of an abundance of caution make sure that we exercised our authority in the most expansive and appropriate way to mitigate risk because of this potential connection being made.”

The official noted that since ICE started arresting migrants brought into the US by the smuggling group several months ago, no information has tied them to any threats to the US.

Many of the over 400 migrants involved had crossed the southern border and were released into the country by Customs and Border Protection because they were not on the government’s terrorism watchlist, the three anonymous officials said.

Tone-Deaf Mayorkas Claims ‘Only the Criminal’ to Blame for Slaughter of 12-Year-Old Texas Girl, Not Biden Border Policy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tone-deaf Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday shrugged off attempts to blame Biden’s border policy for the horrific slaughter of Americans at the hands of illegal migrants, saying, “The individual who is responsible for a heinous criminal act is the criminal.”

His comment during a press conference from a Border Patrol aircraft hangar in Tucson, Arizona — some 70 miles from the nearest border crossing — came in response to a question about 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was brutalized and murdered in Houston, allegedly by two Venezuelan migrants who were released into the US earlier this year.

“We screen and vet individuals when we encounter them,” he said.

Border agents quickly responded with skepticism to Mayorkas’ claims that the DHS was sufficiently vetting anybody crossing the US border, saying his comments Wednesday show he’s living in “fairytale land.”

“I don’t know what Mayorkas is smoking because it needs to be legalized,” one Border Patrol source told The Post. (Read more from “Tone-Deaf Mayorkas Claims ‘Only the Criminal’ to Blame for Slaughter of 12-Year-Old Texas Girl, Not Biden Border Policy” HERE)

Donald Trump Pledges to Return Jailed Pro-Lifers to Their Families if Elected

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said he would work to free pro-life activists prosecuted and imprisoned by the pro-abortion Biden administration, should he be elected, Catholic News Agency (CNA) reported on Tuesday.

During a June 22 speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Trump specifically mentioned the case of 75-year-old Paulette Harlow, who was sentenced to 24 months in prison for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and for “conspiracy against rights” in a 2020 protest at a D.C. abortion clinic infamous for late-term abortions.

“Paulette is one of many peaceful pro-lifers who Joe Biden has rounded up, sometimes with SWAT teams, and thrown them in jail,” Trump said. “Many people are in jail over this. … We’re going to get that taken care of immediately — [on the] first day.”

Harlow, unlike her co-defendants — who sat in jail for months awaiting sentencing — had been on house arrest due to her ill health before being sentenced, according to Live Action News. Harlow’s defense attorney, Allen Orenberg, reportedly said in a statement that Harlow’s health has been rapidly declining and that prison could be detrimental to her condition.

It’s no secret that Disney is on the ropes. Maybe if the company quit with the DEI hires and returned to making solid content sans woke propaganda, its glory days wouldn’t be banished to the past.

However, any hopes of repentance from Disney are all but dashed when you hear what Disney senior VP Michael Giordana was caught on camera admitting.

According to reports, James O’Keefe had unspecified agents contact Giordana through a dating website. Then on the faux dates, hidden cameras caught Giordana blatantly admitting that Disney avoids hiring white men. . .

In the first clip, Giordana said, “Certainly, there have been times where, you know, there’s no way we’re hiring a white male for this,” referencing the company’s hiring practices. . .

“There are times when it’s spoken,” he confirmed, adding that execs blatantly say to him, “There’s no way we’re hiring a white male for this role,” but “are very careful how they message that to agents.” (Read more from “WATCH: Hidden Camera Catches Disney VP Admitting the Company Refuses to Hire White Males” HERE)

Exposed: CNN’s Debate Moderators Were in Bed With Deep State’s Fake Anti-Trump Campaign

/1 Comment/in , /by

CNN’s moderators for Thursday’s presidential debate have deep ties to former intelligence officials who signed the now-debunked letter claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” Real Clear Investigations (RCI) reported Wednesday.

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lied about leaking false information to one of CNN’s moderators, Jake Tapper, about the Trump campaign exchanging information with Russia throughout the election cycle, according to the RCI report.

Tapper, failing to inform the public that the information came from a Clinton campaign-funded dossier, the now discredited Steele dossier, disseminated the information in a January 10, 2017, CNN report co-authored with Carl Bernstein.

Clapper denied leaking the information to Tapper during a July 2017 congressional deposition.

Clapper “flatly denied ‘discuss[ing] the dossier [compiled by Steele] or any other intelligence related to Russia hacking of the 2016 election with journalists,” the House Intelligence Committee said, according to RCI.

Pentagon Says $62 Million In Ukraine Weapons Aid Was ‘Lost Or Destroyed’ — But It Doesn’t Know Which

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon doesn’t know whether $62 million in missing U.S. weapons aid to Ukraine has been lost or destroyed, according to a new report released on Wednesday.

The $62 million in weapons were designated for end-use monitoring (EEUM), but problems in reporting and tracking between U.S. and Ukrainian forces left an information gap as to what equipment may have been destroyed, lost or diverted through November 2023, according to a Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General report (OIG) report. The Pentagon has had consistent problems tracking U.S. aid to Ukraine since the country’s war with Russia began in 2022.

“The absence of timely and complete EEUM loss reporting, along with the lack of thorough analysis of the loss reports, impedes the DoD’s understanding of any potential violations on EEUM‑designated defense articles,” the inspector general report reads. “This increases the risk that the DoD could lose accountability over EEUM‑designated defense articles provided to Ukraine.”

The U.S. European Command’s (USEUCOM) Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC) hadn’t consistently obtained routine or thorough loss reports from Ukrainian forces, despite in-place protocols and standards, according to the inspector general report. On average, the time it took from the initial loss of a “defense” item to the time of the final loss report was 301 days, when requirements call for a roughly 30-day report.

Additionally, the U.S. forces tasked with tracking did not conduct a proper analysis of existing loss reports for the risk of weapons being captured by Russian forces, according to the report. The report was unable to ascertain whether U.S. weapons assistance had been diverted, noting that the OIG “continues to investigate allegations of criminal conduct regarding U.S. Security assistance to Ukraine.” (Read more from “Pentagon Says $62 Million In Ukraine Weapons Aid Was ‘Lost Or Destroyed’ — But It Doesn’t Know Which” HERE)
