The Democratic National Convention featured a woman who lost her dad to COVID-19 and who places the blame for his death on President Trump during the first day of the virtual convention on Monday. She said because of what happened to her dad, she will ve voting for presumptive nominee Joe Biden.

Kristin Urquiza, of San Fransico, Calif., said her dad, Mark Anthony Urquiza, “had faith in Donald Trump. He voted for him, listened to him, believed him, and his mouthpieces when they said that coronavirus was under control and going to disappear.”

Urquiza said her father went to a karaoke bar in Arizona after the lockdowns had been lifted in the state and had contracted the virus.

New York Times Manipulates FBI Lawyer’s Guilty Plea to Hide Real Spygate News

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New York Times reporter who won a Pulitzer Prize for his role perpetrating the Russia collusion hoax was tasked with framing the news that a former top FBI lawyer was to plead guilty to deliberately fabricating evidence against a Donald Trump campaign affiliate targeted in the Russia probe. The resulting article is a case study in how to write propaganda.

Adam Goldman broke, and cushioned, the news that former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was to plead guilty to fabricating evidence in a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant application to spy on Trump campaign affiliate Carter Page.

His job was to present the news as something other than an indictment of the FBI’s handling of the Russia collusion hoax, to signal to other media that they should move on from the story as quickly as possible, and to hide his own newspaper’s multi-year participation in the Russia collusion hoax. One intelligence source described it as an “insult” to his intelligence and “beyond Pravda,” a reference to the official newspaper of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union. Here’s how Goldman did it. . .

The New York Times used to put every Russia collusion story it had on the front page. Then, when the narrative fell apart, the Times moved on to a new narrative of redefining America as irredeemably racist.

Even though Clinesmith’s guilty plea is directly relevant to the false story the Times peddled for years, and even though it broke the news of his guilty plea, the publication hid the story deep in the paper and put a boring headline on it. “Ex-F.B.I. Lawyer Expected to Plead Guilty in Durham Investigation,” as if begging readers to move on. If they didn’t, the subhead told them that the news really wasn’t such a big deal. “Prosecutors are not expected to reveal any evidence of a broad anti-Trump conspiracy among law enforcement officials,” it claimed, without, well, evidence.

Michelle Obama Attacks President Trump in DNC Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former first lady Michelle Obama, in a measured but searing address Monday to close out Democrats’ opening convention night, accused President Trump’s White House of operating in “chaos” and without “empathy” as she urged voters to cast their ballots for Joe Biden like their lives depend on it.

In prerecorded remarks, Obama stressed the “awesome power of the presidency,” while saying the job “requires clear-headed judgment, a mastery of complex and competing issues, a moral compass and an ability to listen.”

She added: “Whenever we look to this White House for some leadership or consultation or any semblance of steadiness, what we get instead is chaos, division and a total and utter lack of empathy.” . . .

Trump campaign adviser Steve Cortes told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that they presented a “dystopian” picture of the country. And the unusual format, at the first-ever virtual political convention, also raised eyebrows as videos of musical performances and news-style segments hosted by Eva Longoria were interspersed with remarks from lawmakers.

But Michelle Obama, in an impassioned address, sought to tie the strings together, concluding Trump is “the wrong president for our country.” (Read more from “Michelle Obama Attacks President Trump in DNC Speech” HERE)

President Trump’s Younger Brother, Robert, Has Died

By CNBC. Robert Trump, the younger brother of President Donald Trump, has passed away, the White House said in a statement late Saturday.

“It is with heavy heart I share that my wonderful brother, Robert, peacefully passed away tonight,” the president said in the statement. “He was not just my brother, he was my best friend. He will be greatly missed, but we will meet again.”

There were conflicting reports about whether he was 71 or 72, according to NBC News.

The president traveled to New York City on Friday to visit his ailing younger brother who was back in hospital.

It is not clear what the cause of his death was. The White House did not disclose Robert Trump’s illness and the date of his most recent hospitalization. (Read more from “President Trump’s Younger Brother, Robert, Has Died” HERE)

Washington Post Ripped for Repugnant Trump Obituary

By Fox News. . .Just after midnight, Cruz retweeted a screen capture from The Post’s website, which included a headline reading: “Robert Trump, younger brother of President Trump who filed lawsuit against niece, dies at 71.”

“This headline, on an ‘obituary’ no less, is sick,” Cruz wrote. “WaPo should be ashamed of itself. Robert Trump, RIP.” . . .

Benny Johnson, an executive with conservative group Turning Point USA, reminded his Twitter followers that just last October a Washington Post obituary headline had described the late ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar.” Baghdadi died as a result of a U.S.-led military operation.

“The Washington Post couldn’t put politics aside for one night,” Johnson wrote. “They treated the Leader of ISIS better than the brother of the President of the United States.” . . .

Just weeks before his death, Robert Trump had tried to block the publication of a book by Mary Trump, a niece of both Robert Trump and the president whose father was their late brother Fred Trump Jr., who died in 1981. (Read more from “Washington Post Ripped for Repugnant Trump Obituary” HERE)

New Poll: Biden Lead Shrinks on Convention Eve With Double-Digit Shift Trump’s Way

/0 Comments/in , /by

Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden’s lead has evaporated in the past two months, a new poll from CNN shows.

Biden leads President Donald Trump by just four points nationally — 50 percent to 46 percent — and by even less across 15 battleground states that will determine who wins the electoral college. In those 15 states — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin — the new CNN poll has Biden leading by just one percent, with Biden at 49 and Trump at 48.

The top line national number of a four-point race represents a double-digit shift in Trump’s direction from CNN’s last national poll in early June. That survey, two months ago, had Biden up 14 points — meaning this latest survey represents a ten-point swing Trump’s way as the summer has progressed heading into the conventions.

The Democrats begin their virtual convention, during which Biden and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) will be formally nominated as the presidential and vice presidential candidates, this week. The Republicans hold their convention the following week. . .

“The movement in the poll among voters nationwide since June is concentrated among men (they split about evenly in June, but now 56% back Trump, 40% Biden), those between the ages of 35 and 64 (they tilt toward Trump now, but were Biden-leaning in June) and independents (in June, Biden held a 52% to 41% lead, but now it’s a near even 46% Biden to 45% Trump divide),” Agiesta wrote. “Trump has also solidified his partisans since June. While 8% of Republicans or Republican-leaning independents in June said they would back Biden, that figure now stands at just 4%. And the President has boosted his backing among conservatives from 76% to 85%.” (Read more from “New Poll: Biden Lead Shrinks on Convention Eve With Double-Digit Shift Trump’s Way” HERE)

Trump Campaign Makes The Internet Better With Trolling Messages And Ads (VIDEO)

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Trump has never shied away from low blows and comical jabs while running a campaign. The last election cycle was filled with memorable name-calling like “Little Marco,” “Lyin’ Ted,” and “Crooked Hillary.”

This election cycle, Trump tested out several monikers for Biden, including ‘China Joe” and “Sleepy Creepy Joe” until he finally landed on “Sleepy Joe.” The Trump 404 page on his campaign website is a hilarious photo of Biden looking confused with a caption that reads, “It appears you are as lost as me.” . . .

A new animated Trump campaign ad also turns liberals’ derisive term “the Trump train” for Trump supporters into a positive. In the ad, a big, strong, sleek red train emblazoned with “Trump/Pence” and “KAG (Keep America Great) 2020” speeds across a city landscape to the beat of Eddy Grant’s “Electric Avenue”.

Then the ad shows the “Biden train,” a handcar with Biden pumping it along. This old-timer machine reflects back to when Biden during a primary debate mused about people gathering around the “radio” and the “record player.”

Beneath the beat of “Electric Avenue” are soundbites of Biden’s oddest moments, such as when he rambled about how “kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and then watch the hair come back up again,” and “I love kids jumping on my lap.”

President Trump Accepts Endorsement From New York City Police Union

/1 Comment/in , /by

The New York City Police Benevolent Association endorsed President Donald Trump on Friday – a union representing 24,000 police officers in the city.

Trump welcomed a group of enthusiastic New York City officers to his club in Bedminster, New Jersey, for an event to announce the endorsement.

The police union president, Patrick Lynch, gave a passionate speech thanking the president for standing up for law enforcement at a time when many were afraid to do so. Lynch said:

I cannot remember when we’ve ever endorsed for the president of the United States until now. That’s how important this is. …. Mr. President, we’re fighting for our lives out there we don’t want this to spread to the country, we need your strong voice across the country.

Trump delivered a speech warning of the dangers they were facing if former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris won the presidential election. (Read more from “President Trump Accepts Endorsement From New York City Police Union” HERE)

Durham Investigation: Corrupt FBI Attorney Who Falsified Carter Page FISA Warrant, Expected to Plead Guilty

/2 Comments/in , /by

A top FBI lawyer who fabricated evidence in a federal spy warrant against Trump campaign affiliate Carter Page is expected to plead guilty to federal charges brought by U.S. Attorney John Durham. Kevin Clinesmith, who is expected to admit to deliberately fabricating evidence in a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant application, used to spy on a former campaign affiliate of President Donald Trump, was a top attorney in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of General Counsel (OGC) and a key agency attorney under fired former FBI Director James Comey.

Clinesmith is the first individual to be charged as part of U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation into the efforts in 2016 and 2017 to spy on the Trump campaign and Trump administration. Both Durham and Attorney General William Barr stated at the conclusion of the OIG investigation of the Page FISA warrants that they had reason to believe the entire investigation of Trump, which allegedly began in late July of 2016, was not legally predicated. Durham was tapped by Barr in May of 2019 to investigate the Russian collusion hoax and determine whether any criminal charges against those who perpetrated it were warranted.

Clinesmith’s deliberate falsification of a federal spy warrant was first revealed last December following a lengthy investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG), headed by Michael Horowitz. Horowitz and his team wrote in a 434-page report that Clinesmith — identified in the report as “OGC Attorney” — altered an email from a separate U.S. federal agency, believed to be the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), to falsely state that Page had never worked with the CIA to investigate suspected Russia agents operating within the U.S. In fact, as Clinesmith was told by the operative, Page had worked with the CIA previously, as well as with the FBI. . .

Clinesmith’s name first made national news after his anti-Trump text messages to another FBI attorney, Sally Moyer, surfaced following a separate OIG investigation of anti-Trump bias from top FBI attorneys and investigators.

WATCH: Harris Once Joked About Killing Trump, Pence, Sessions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Presumptive Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris joked in April 2018 about President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions perishing in an imagined elevator emergency.

During an appearance on “Ellen,” host Ellen DeGeneres asked the senator from California which of Trump, Pence or Sessions she would want to be stuck in an elevator with.

“Does one of us have to come out alive?” Harris asked in response, laughing for several seconds and eliciting cheers and chuckles from the studio audience. . .

In 2016, Biden himself was stumping for then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton when he told a crowd that he would “take [Trump] behind the gym” in response to the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape in which Trump made lewd comments about women.

At the time, Biden was asked whether he wished to debate Trump, to which he remarked, “No. I wish we were in high school. I could take him behind the gym. That’s what I wish.” (Read more from “WATCH: Harris Once Joked About Killing Trump, Pence, Sessions” HERE)
