What’s Wrong With Mitch? McConnell Mum on Mangled Face and Hands

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he has no health issues of concern — despite sporting bruises and bandages on his hands this week.

The 78-year-old Kentucky senator dodged questions about his health from reporters in the Capitol Thursday, CNN reported.

Asked whether he had any health issues, McConnell answered, “of course not,” and then didn’t respond when asked if he was being treated by a doctor. (Read more from “What’s Wrong With Mitch? McConnell Mum on Mangled Face and Hands” HERE)

Questions Swirl About Sen. Mcconnell’s Health After He’s Seen With Badly Bruised Hands, Lip

By New York Daily News. Sen. Mitch McConnell’s health is becoming a topic of concern after the powerful Kentucky Republican was seen on Capitol Hill this week with a badly bruised hand and what appeared to be a fat lip. . .

His right hand looked particularly bad, having turned a blueish-black color. The right side of McConnell’s lip also appeared to sport a bluish bruise. . .

He has maintained a regular schedule this week and spoke on the Senate floor at the outset of Thursday’s session as is customary.

McConnell, who survived polio as a boy, has had some health issues in the past, including breaking his shoulder after falling at his Kentucky home last year. He also had triple bypass heart surgery in 2003. (Read more from “Questions Swirl About Sen. Mcconnell’s Health After He’s Seen With Badly Bruised Hands, Lip” HERE)

Is this what it is?

By Laura Itialono. Dermatologists say the 78-year-old Senate majority leader’s black-and-blue bruises and bandaged hands are likely a common condition called senile purpura.

“Your skin just naturally becomes more fragile as you age,” Dr. Doris Day, a Manhattan-based dermatologist, told The Post.

“I think it’s just a bruise — a solid good bruise,” she said.

Older skin loses its elasticity and its cushioning layer of collagen, doctors say.

That naturally occurring fragility of the skin can also be complicated by prior chronic sun exposure. (Read more about McConnell Mum on his Condition HERE)

‘I Really, Really Wanted To Vote Biden. But…’ Trump Sways Undecided Voters in L.A. Times Focus Group (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A group of “undecided voters” in a Los Angeles Times focus group delivered a stunning consensus on the final debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden.

While the liberal media and Trump critics bashed the president’s performance Thursday night, many viewers who actually watched his strong showing against the Democratic presidential nominee came away with a far different assessment. Pollster Frank Luntz spoke with one group of voters who overwhelmingly concluded after the debate that Trump had swayed their thinking.

The group of voters selected by Luntz to participate had to meet certain criteria, including being “currently registered to vote in one of 11 swing states,” according to the Los Angeles Times. The participants, who were each paid $100 for their time, also had to describe themselves as “possible” Biden or Trump voters, “defined themselves as independents” and considered themselves “undecided.”

Trump was lauded for his solid debate performance as Biden often seemed rattled by the facts he was confronted with. Yet the left-wing media proved their bias once again in commentary disguised as reporting. CNN’s Jake Tapper held nothing back as he accused Trump of “running the single most negative, sleazy campaign in American history.”

Biden Tries to Rewrite History on ‘Child Separation’ Border Policy

By Townhall. In the last presidential debate ahead of the general election, former Vice President Joe Biden attempted to rewrite history on immigration policy. Biden accused President Trump of “putting kids in cages,” when illegal minors and families try to cross the southern border. . .

President Trump did not let former Vice President Biden forget that his own administration started the policy in 2014:

Biden’s Debate Stumble: He Raises Issue of Corruption Allegations Himself

By WND. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, during Thursday’s debate with President Donald Trump, hesitated about it, but then said he was going to go ahead. And he did.

He himself raised the issue that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani was being used as an “agent” of Russia to spread disinformation.

That, of course, was the opening for which the president was waiting, to ask Biden about the millions of dollars his family was getting from Russia, from China, and more. And what about the money that was being held for the “big guy,” identified as Joe Biden?

The issue has erupted into what some analysts have described as the biggest scandal ever in American politics, as emails and other documentation that have become available – from insiders, from an abandoned computer, and more – have described how the Biden family was making multiple deals with foreign interests that would benefit the family with millions of dollars.

Trump Gets Out of His Own Way to Paint Biden as Creature of Washington

By Washington Examiner. For many watching Republicans, it was the debate they wanted to see the first time around.

Then, President Trump hectored and harried Democratic nominee Joe Biden in a performance that did nothing to close a gaping poll deficit.

This time, when the final debate ended in Nashville, Tennessee, they welcomed a more restrained tone and a more conventional style that landed precise blows on Biden’s record in government and plans for the future.

Republican strategist Ron Bonjean said it was a commanding performance. . .

And it provided one of the moments that many advisers had wanted to see: a clean, clear takedown of Biden’s long career in Washington and a reminder of the choice facing voters.

EXPLOSIVE: Joe Biden China Email Pay-Off is CONFIRMED; Hunter’s Laptop Is Part of an Even Bigger Probe; GOP Senators Request Hunter Biden’s Secret Service Travel Docs

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Michael Goodwin. Now we learn that Biden has secretly been playing footsie with China.

The statement Wednesday night asserting that the former vice president was a willing and eager participant in a family scheme to make millions of dollars by partnering with a shady Chinese Communist firm is a singular event in a presidential race already overflowing with drama and intrigue.

The dynamite assertion, believable because it aligns with earlier information we know to be true, came in a statement by Tony Bobulinski, who describes himself as a former partner of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden and Joe’s brother Jim in the China scheme. Bobulinski unloads his bill of accusations in blunt but precise language and detail.

He confirms that he was one of the recipients of the May 13, 2017, e-mail published by The Post eight days ago. That e-mail, from another partner in the group, laid out cash and equity positions and mysteriously included a 10 percent set-aside for “the big guy.”

Sources have said the “big guy” was Joe Biden. In a matter-of-fact manner, Bobulinski states that the “e-mail is genuine” and that the former vice president and the man leading in the 2020 race is indeed “the big guy.” (Read more about this HERE)

Hunter Laptop Front and Center in Money Laundering Probe

By Townhall. Just one day after the FBI and Department of Justice confirmed the laptop left at a computer repair store belonged to Hunter Biden, Fox News confirmed that very laptop was part of an FBI probe into money laundering. It remains unclear whether or not the case is still ongoing and if Hunter Biden was part of the probe.

Fox News obtained documents – authenticated by multiple federal law enforcement officials and two government officials – showing FBI Special Agent Joshua Wilson signed off on the “Receipt for Property” form that was filled out for the laptop. The document was signed on Dec. 9, 2019. . .

A government official told Fox that there had to be evidence of a crime or criminal conduct for the FBI to open the case.

Special Agent Wilson was called to testify about the laptop on Dec. 9, 2019, meaning the investigation began before then.

“If a criminal case was opened and subpoenas were issued, that means there is a high likelihood that both the laptop and hard drive contain fruits of criminal activity,” the official told Fox. (Read more from “Uh Oh: It Looks as Though Hunter’s Laptop Is Part of an Even Bigger Probe” HERE)

GOP Senators Request Hunter Biden’s Secret Service Travel Docs

By New York Post. Two Republican lawmakers leading the congressional probe into Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings have asked the Secret Service to provide more records of his travel while his father was vice president.

In a letter sent to the agency’s director on Wednesday, GOP Sens. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said bombshell Hunter Biden emails revealed by The Post last week “aligned” with the scandal-scarred son’s previous Secret Service travel logs.

”Recent reports have published emails allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden, some of which include references to Mr. Biden’s travel,” the letter read.

“As the Committees continue to assess the validity of these emails, Committee staff have found that several of the references to Mr. Biden’s travel align with the travel records USSS produced to the Committees,” it went on.

Johnson and Grassley, the respective chairs of the Senate Homeland Security Committee and the Senate Finance Committee, noted two emails from Hunter Biden’s recovered hard drive matched with logs they obtained earlier this year.

WATCH: Rudy Giuliani Says He Sent Alleged Sexually Explicit Materials Involving Underage Girls From Hunter Biden to Police; Here Are Hunter Biden’s Alleged Text Messages Giuliani Turned Over; FBI in Possession of Hunter Biden’s Laptop

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. Rudy Giuliani told Newsmax on Tuesday that he sent alleged sexually explicit materials involving underage girls from Hunter Biden to the Delaware State Police.

The text message and photos discussed by Giuliani, a personal lawyer to President Trump and former New York City mayor, appear to have been found in a laptop hard drive that purportedly belonged to the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now the Democratic presidential nominee.

“There’s a text message to [Hunter’s] father in which he says the following, and he’s discussing his sister-in-law, who, for quite some time, was his lover,” Giuliani said, setting up the background of the email. “He says, ‘She told my therapist that I was sexually inappropriate.’ This would be with an unnamed, 14-year-old girl.”

The “sister-in-law” to which Giuliani referred appears to be Hallie Biden, the widow of Hunter’s brother Beau whom Hunter reportedly dated for a time until the spring of last year. Giuliani, who went on to read more of the message, added that it was “supported by numerous pictures of underage girls.”

The materials, said to be obtained by Giuliani earlier this month from a computer shop in Delaware, were first reported by the New York Post last week.

FBI in Possession of Hunter Biden’s Purported Laptop, Sources Say

By Fox News. The FBI is in possession of the laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden which contained emails revealing his foreign business dealings, including contacts in Ukraine and China, two senior administration officials told Fox News Tuesday.

The FBI declined to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation into the laptop or the emails, as is standard practice.

Further, Fox News has learned that the FBI and Justice Department officials concur with an assessment from Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe that the laptop is not part of a Russian disinformation campaign targeting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. . .

Meanwhile, another senior federal law enforcement official told Fox News that the emails are “authentic.”

The FBI, in a letter to Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who is investigating Hunter Biden’s business dealings, as well as the laptop in question, said that the bureau has “nothing to add at this time to the October 19th public statement by the Director of National Intelligence about the available actionable intelligence.” (Read more from “FBI in Possession of Hunter Biden’s Purported Laptop, Sources Say” HERE)

Here Are Hunter Biden’s Alleged Text Messages Giuliani Just Turned Over to the Delaware State Police

By Townhall. Rudy Giuliani handed over “very, very sensitive” text messages to the Delaware State Police that are allegedly from Hunter Biden to his father, former Vice President Joe Biden. In the text messages, Hunter allegedly accused his sister-in-law and former lover, Hallie Biden, of telling Hunter’s therapist that he was sleeping with a 14-year-old girl.

The alleged text messages said:

She told my therapist I was sexually inappropriate with [name redacted when she says that I face time naked with her and the reason I can’t have her out to see me is because I walk around naked smoking crack talking [redacted] girls on face time. When she was present she said that [redacted] never said anything like that but the bottom line is that she I create and caused a very unsafe environment for the kids. If it stopped there I would let it go but then [redacted] friend [redacted] sober coach.

According to Giuliani, there are “numerous pictures of underage girls” that accompany the text messages. He was “very uncomfortable” with the texts and pictures, which is why he turned them over to the Delaware State Police on Monday, the lawyer explained during a segment on Newsmax. . .

“There’s a memo in here that says that 10 percent of the money that was being racked up, that was $10 million a year, and then 50 percent of the profits, three Chinese communists, one of whom was a Chinese intelligence operative, that 10 percent of that was going to H for the ‘Big Guy.’ So, we’ve identified the ‘Big Guy’ several ways,” Giuliani explained.

Study: Human Coronaviruses ‘Inactivated’ by This Bathroom Item

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new study conducted by researchers at the Penn State College of Medicine has found that a common dental item can inactivate human coronaviruses: mouthwash and oral rinses.

For the study, the results of which were published in the Journal of Medical Virology, researchers tested various oral and nasopharyngeal rinses — which included a 1% solution of baby shampoo, a neti pot, peroxide sore-mouth cleansers, and mouthwashes — to determine how well they inactivated human coronaviruses.

The baby shampoo solution, “which is often used by head and neck doctors to rinse the sinuses,” the researchers noted in a news release regarding the findings, was particularly effective; the solution inactivated “greater than 99.9% of human coronavirus after a two-minute contact time,” they said.

The mouthwash and oral rinses were also efficacious, they found: “Many inactivated greater than 99.9% of virus after only 30 seconds of contact time and some inactivated 99.99% of the virus after 30 seconds.”

More specifically, researchers “used a test to replicate the interaction of the virus in the nasal and oral cavities with the rinses and mouthwashes,” as the nasal and oral cavities are thought to be main points of entry for human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, better known as COVID-19. Though the researchers didn’t specifically test SARS-CoV-2 in the study, the novel virus is genetically similar to the other human coronaviruses tested, leading the researchers to hypothesize that the results would be similar.

WATCH: Fed-Up Trump Supporter Delivers Wake up Call to Black Voters

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A Republican congressional candidate in California shared a video of an epic schooling of black supporters of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Tamika Hamilton, the GOP candidate for California’s third congressional district, shared a video of a black woman’s fiery message to Biden supporters as she set the record straight on what President Donald Trump has actually accomplished for the black community in his first term. . .

“What do you want?” the woman in the video demanded of African Americans and their “allies,” calling out the hypocrisy over calls for action that have been attacked, citing recent examples such as the cancel culture’s meltdown over rapper Ice Cube for helping the Trump administration.

“You say you want black men to step up. They’re trying to step up but every time they step up you tell them they’re stepping wrong,” the woman added.

She called out members of the black community slamming Trump amid demands to vote him out, asking how they “can’t take four more years” while they quietly took 47 years under Biden’s political career. (Read more from “WATCH: Fed-Up Trump Supporter Delivers Wake up Call to Black Voters” HERE)

Trump Campaign Demanded Change to Final Debate Topics

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Breitbart. The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) has adopted a new rule ahead of Thursday’s second and final presidential debate and will silence the microphone of the candidate who does not have the floor during the uninterrupted two-minute periods at the start of each segment.

The Commission cited their prior announcement to consider “additional structure” to future debates following the first presidential debate with moderator Chris Wallace. The first debate saw several interruptions from both candidates and Wallace. While Joe Biden (D) set the tone by interrupting first, Wallace later stated that Trump bore the “primary responsibility” for what occurred during the debate.

“The Commission has determined that it is appropriate to adopt measures intended to promote adherence to agreed upon rules and inappropriate to make changes to those rules,” it said in a statement, detailing its plan to enforce the rule:

Under the agreed upon debate rules, each candidate is to have two minutes of uninterrupted time to make remarks at the beginning of each 15 minute segment of the debate. These remarks are to be followed by a period of discussion. Both campaigns this week again reaffirmed their agreement to the two-minute, uninterrupted rule. The Commission is announcing today that in order to enforce this agreed upon rule, the only candidate whose microphone will be open during these two-minute periods is the candidate who has the floor under the rules. For the balance of each element, which by design is intended to be dedicated to open discussion, both candidates’ microphones will be open.

Trump Campaign Demands Change to Final Debate Topics

By The Hill. The Trump campaign is demanding that the Commission on Presidential Debates adjust the topics for the final presidential debate so that the meeting focuses on foreign policy.

Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien penned a letter to the commission Monday raising objections with the topics announced by moderator and NBC News correspondent Kristen Welker last week, saying the commission should observe “long-standing custom” by making foreign policy the central focus of Thursday’s debate. Stepien also claimed the campaigns had agreed to the third debate being focused on foreign policy.

“As is the long-standing custom, and as has been promised by the Commission on Presidential Debates, we had expected that foreign policy would be the central focus of the October 22 debate. We urge you to recalibrate the topics and return to subjects which had already been confirmed,” Stepien wrote.

Stepien accused Democratic nominee Joe Biden of being “desperate to avoid conversations about his own foreign policy record” and said the commission was trying to alter the course of the final debate in order to “insulate Biden from his own history.”

“The Commission’s pro-Biden antics have turned the entire debate season into a fiasco and it is little wonder why the public has lost faith in its objectivity,” he wrote. (Read more from “Trump Campaign Demands Change to Final Debate Topics” HERE)

CNN’s Chris Cuomo: Get in the Closet, Serious Christians, Your Kind Aren’t Welcome in Public Life

/0 Comments/in , , /by

While interviewing Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, last week, CNN’s Chris Cuomo expressed concern that Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s faith appears “more central to her value system and her behavior and thoughts than it would be for just an ordinary Catholic.” . . .

Of course, what Cuomo really means by “ordinary” is palatable, acceptable, and tolerable. For Democrats and their left-wing stooges like him, Christians should be free to worship whatever sky-fairies they want, providing it’s a part-time commitment behind closed doors. This is the extent of religious freedom for the left.

Christians can identify as “people of faith” and no lips will be pursed, no eyebrows raised. They might even get a hypocritical pat on the head, along with Joe Biden, for their “deeply devout” faith. The left doesn’t care if the Biden campaign runs an ad featuring Pope Francis and a random assortment of smiling nuns preaching about Biden’s “moral conviction,” because “ordinary” Catholic Joe is on board with pro-abortion extremism and revoking the Trump administration’s exemption for religious groups such as the Little Sisters of the Poor.

If Christians cross the line and elevate their faith to a status greater than community service for some sort of nongovernmental organization, however, they’d better watch out. If they become Christian warriors, not merely social justice warriors, there will be tough questions.

If Christians dare to allow their moral “positions” to be informed by scripture, the lives of the saints, and church teaching, they will be labeled “fundamentalists.” These sorts of faithful, presumably extra-ordinary Christians will be hounded and persecuted because, like Barrett, their faith is central to their life. In Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s words, “The dogma lives loudly within you, and that’s a concern.” (Read more from “CNN’s Chris Cuomo: Get in the Closet, Serious Christians, Your Kind Aren’t Welcome in Public Life” HERE)

GOP Leaders: Twitter Censoring Hunter Biden Exposé Is ‘Election Interference’; President Trump: Info Found on Hunter’s Laptop The ‘Real Deal’; Hunter Biden Emails, Pics Reveal Wild Life

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By New York Post. Sen. Ted Cruz laced into Twitter boss Jack Dorsey and “big tech billionaires drunk on their own power” Saturday over censorship of The Post’s exposé of the Biden family foreign business dealings.

Dorsey is expected to receive a subpoena and be grilled next Friday by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

GOP leaders are seeking answers for why the company decided to censor new emails published in The Post raising new questions about Joe and Hunter Biden’s relationship with executives from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

“This is a power grab from big tech billionaires drunk on their own power. That is abuse of monopoly power by big tech,” Cruz told reporters on a press call Saturday. “It appears Twitter is throttling [in a] brazen attempt to manipulate the election outcome and it is continuing as we speak.” (Read more from “GOP Leaders: Twitter Censoring Hunter Biden Exposé Is ‘Election Interference’” HERE)

Trump Says Info Found on Hunter Biden’s Laptop Is the ‘Real Deal’

By New York Post. President Trump on Sunday said the damning information contained in Hunter Biden’s emails about his business dealings in Ukraine — as The Post revealed last week — is the “REAL DEAL” and cannot be denied.

“Hunter Biden’s laptop is a disaster for the entire Biden family, but especially for his father, Joe. It is now a proven fact, and cannot be denied, that all of that info is the REAL DEAL,” the president wrote on Twitter.

“That makes it impossible for ‘50%, or 10%’ Joe, to ever assume the office of the President!” Trump continued.

A little more than an hour later, he credited his “former hometown” tabloid for its reporting.

“Very proud of the @nypost, my former ‘hometown newspaper’. They have said and shown what everyone knows about Sleepy Joe Biden. He is a CORRUPT POLITICIAN!!!” he said. (Read more from “Trump Says Info Found on Hunter Biden’s Laptop Is the ‘Real Deal’” HERE)

Hunter Biden Emails, Pics Reveal Wild Life, Pained Soul

By New York Post. Hunter Biden’s emails and texts show not just a politician’s troubled son angling for lucrative overseas business deals — they also reveal a concerned father, a fun-loving friend and a man tortured by the deaths that have devastated his family. . .

A computer camera roll of nearly 25,000 images is loaded with sexually explicit selfies and porn (which The Post is not publishing), but also has snapshots from Biden’s childhood and vacations. . .

Another exchange, from 2018, shows Biden inviting a friend to The Hollywood Roosevelt hotel in LA, saying he has a “cabana suite” and is “partying like an idiot ass rock star.” . . .

Biden — who has acknowledged struggling with drug and alcohol problems — also poured his heart out in a lengthy email that he sent to himself in 2015, about three weeks after his brother, former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, died of brain cancer.

In the nearly 800-word missive, which is filled with misspellings, Biden recounts going to church as a child with his father and brother on “every Sunday growing up” — as well as the Mass he attended the day after Beau’s death.
