Joe Biden Flips on Abortion Stance

By Breitbart. Former Vice President Joe Biden declared his opposition to the Hyde Amendment on Thursday, just days after his campaign reaffirmed his support of it.

Biden revealed his new position during a speech at the IWillVote Gala hosted by The Democratic National Committee in Atlanta, Georgia. The Hyde Amendment prevents taxpayer funds from being used to fund abortions.

Biden said that although he supported the Hyde Amendment as a United States Senator, he realized that “times have changed.”

“For many years as U.S. Senator, I have supported the Hyde Amendment like many many others have,” he said. . .

“I’ve been struggling with the problems that Hyde now presents,” he said, arguing that if the federal government was going to start providing universal health care, it would need to fund abortions. (Read more from “Joe Biden Flips on Abortion Stance” HERE)

Joe Biden Just Had the Worst Week of His 2020 Campaign

By Business Insider. Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign is having its worst week since launching in April.

Biden was in hot water even before his campaign officially launched in April, after four women accused him of unwanted touching and invading their personal space.

The former vice president didn’t make things any smoother when he released a video that critics deemed a ” non-apology apology,” in which Biden said he would try to do better going forward, but did not explicitly apologize for his past conduct.

Still, he surged in the polls as soon as he entered the race thanks in part to his longstanding popularity within the Democratic Party, his name recognition, and a strong alliance with former President Barack Obama.

But the last few days have been a test for the frontrunner’s campaign, as a host of controversies over his biggest weaknesses make the former vice president vulnerable to criticism from some of the most prominent factions of the Democratic Party.

Biden, Now 76, Attacked His Older Opponent’s Age During Senate Run

By Fox News. Former Vice President Joe Biden is one of the oldest candidates ever to run for president, but in 1972, he repeatedly attacked his opponent’s age in order to be elected as the Delaware senator, a report found Monday.

Long before the 76-year-old launched his third bid for the presidency, a 29-year-old Biden was running for Senate against the two-term incumbent, 62-year-old Sen. Cale Boggs, R-Md. And, his campaign made his youthfulness prominent in print ads. . .

It wasn’t just in print ads that Biden scrutinized Boggs for his age. The young Democrat told the press that Boggs “lost that twinkle in his eyes” and that he’s “just not a fighter.” He even spread rumors that he would retire two years after his reelection.

Nearly 50 years later, Biden’s age is now being scrutinized by 72-year-old President Trump, who repeatedly has referred to the former vice president as “Sleepy Joe.” Meantime, a fellow Democrat, Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., called for a “new generation of leadership” in Washington.

Joe Biden Accused of Plagiarizing Parts of New Climate Platform

By Fox News. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is facing claims that his campaign plagiarized at least five parts of the climate platform released on Tuesday.

The apparent similarities were first flagged on Twitter by a progressive activist. By Tuesday afternoon, most of the examples in the Biden campaign platform had been updated online to include attribution to a third party.

“The paragraph in Joe Biden’s climate plan about carbon capture and sequestration includes language that is remarkably similar to items published previously by the Blue Green Alliance and the Carbon Capture Coalition,” Josh Nelson, the vice president of CREDOmobile, tweeted earlier in the day.

. . .

Biden’s platform said, “Carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) is a rapidly growing technology that has the potential to create economic benefits for multiple industries while significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions.”

2020: Biden Snagged in Spygate?

By Breitbart. Vice President Joe Biden was documented as being present in the Oval Office for a conversation about the controversial Russia probe between President Obama, disgraced ex-FBI chief James Comey, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and other senior officials including Obama’s national security advisor Susan Rice.

In an action characterized as “odd” last year by then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Rice memorialized the confab in an email to herself describing Obama as starting “the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities ‘by the book.’”

Grassley, in a letter to Rice, commented: “It strikes us as odd that, among your activities in the final moments on the final day of the Obama administration, you would feel the need to send yourself such an unusual email purporting to document a conversation involving President Obama and his interactions with the FBI regarding the Trump/Russia investigation.”

Grassley noted the unusual timing of the email sent by Rice to herself more than two weeks after the January 5, 2017 White House meeting on the Russia investigation, but mere hours before she vacated the White House for the incoming Trump administration. . .

“If the timestamp is correct, you sent this email to yourself at 12:15 pm, presumably a very short time before you departed the White House for the last time,” Grassley wrote to Rice in a letter seeking clarification on a number of issues regarding the email and the Oval Office briefing at which Biden was documented as being present.

Obama’s Secret Struggle to Punish Russia

By The Washington Post. . .The material was so sensitive that CIA Director John O. Brennan kept it out of the President’s Daily Brief, concerned that even that restricted report’s distribution was too broad. The CIA package came with instructions that it be returned immediately after it was read. To guard against leaks, subsequent meetings in the Situation Room followed the same protocols as planning sessions for the Osama bin Laden raid. . .

Over that five-month interval, the Obama administration secretly debated dozens of options for deterring or punishing Russia, including cyberattacks on Russian infrastructure, the release of CIA-gathered material that might embarrass Putin and sanctions that officials said could “crater” the Russian economy.

But in the end, in late December, Obama approved a modest package combining measures that had been drawn up to punish Russia for other issues — expulsions of 35 diplomats and the closure of two Russian compounds — with economic sanctions so narrowly targeted that even those who helped design them describe their impact as largely symbolic.

After Promising to Respect Women’s Space, Biden Has Creepy Interaction with Young Girl – and It’s on Video

By The Blaze. Presidential candidate Joe Biden was criticized for once again getting too close to a young girl after he promised to respect women’s personal space and act more appropriately. . .

In videos of the campaign stop, Biden tells the girl, “I bet you’re as bright as you are good looking.”

After she answers that she’s interested in journalism, so Biden grabs her and whisks her away to the back of the room where the reporters are covering the event. . .

Biden has been accused by a former Democratic lawmaker of inappropriately touching and smelling her before a campaign event. After she made her accusations, numerous women released statements offering other inappropriate behavior from the former vice president.

Where’s Joe? Biden’s campaign pace called into question

By Fox News. It’s been more than one week since Joe Biden held a public campaign event.

After launching his Democratic presidential campaign in late April, the former vice president came out of the gate with a busy schedule, holding events in all four of the states that kick off the primary and caucus calendar, as well as stops in California. And Biden started and closed that campaign swing with speeches in his native Pennsylvania, which is also a crucial general election battleground state.

But Biden hasn’t held a public campaign event since his large kickoff rally in Philadelphia on May 18. Since then, he’s only headlined a top-dollar fundraiser in Nashville, Tenn., and two more in Florida.

And while a bunch of his rivals for the 2020 Democratic nomination are stumping this holiday weekend, Biden’s off the trail.

“Joe Biden has no public events scheduled,” read a release from his campaign. (Read more from “Where’s Joe? Biden’s campaign pace called into question” HERE)

Trump: ‘Sleepy Joe Biden’ Hasn’t ‘Apologized’ for Involvement in 1994 Crime Law

President Trump late Monday criticized former Vice President Joe Biden, the front-runner among Democrats seeking to unseat Trump in 2020, for his support of a controversial 1994 crime bill, saying he hasn’t “apologized” for supporting it.

Trump tweeted that his own criminal justice reform legislation – The First Step Act – “had tremendous support” and “fixed” problems in the law Biden championed.

Biden, who in the late 1980s became chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee as Delaware senator, said at the time his aim was to pass legislation that would combat violent crime.

The 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, signed by then-President Bill Clinton, was seen by many analysts as the culmination of efforts of those like Biden. . .

A 2015 headline in the New York Times, published in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, claimed that Biden’s “role in ’90s crime law could haunt any presidential bid.” (Read more from “Trump: ‘Sleepy Joe Biden’ Hasn’t ‘Apologized’ for Involvement in 1994 Crime Law” HERE)

Resurfaced Video Reveals How Biden Used to Feel About the U.S. Border… Remind You of Anyone?

Democrat presidential primary candidate Joe Biden once supported President Trump’s “America First” immigration agenda that builds a wall along the United States-Mexico border and bans employers from hiring illegal aliens over American citizens.

In a November 2006 appearance at a South Carolina rotary club, Biden touted the fact that he supported funding building a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border by voting for the Secure Fence Act of 2006. The legislation, at the time, promised to fund 700 miles of new fencing at the southern border to end illegal immigration.

Aside from supporting barriers at the southern border to end illegal immigration to the country, Biden cited his support for mandatory nationwide E-Verify, which would ban employers from hiring illegal aliens over American citizens, in the unearthed clip.

Biden said a border fence and mandatory E-Verify were necessary to stop illegal immigration, both of which are a part of Trump’s immigration platform:

Folks, I voted for a fence, I voted, unlike most Democrats — and some of you won’t like it — I voted for 700 miles of fence. But, let me tell you, we can build a fence 40 stories high — unless you change the dynamic in Mexico and — and you will not like this, and punish American employers who knowingly violate the law when, in fact, they hire illegals. Unless you do those two things, all the rest is window dressing. [Emphasis added]

Joe Biden Thinks We’re Obligated to Give Illegal Aliens Healthcare

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden said during a campaign stop in California on Wednesday that the United States has an “obligation” to give healthcare to illegal aliens.

“I think that anyone who is in a situation where they’re in need of healthcare, regardless of whether they are documented or undocumented, we have an obligation to see that they are cared for,” Biden said in Los Angeles. “That’s why I think we need more clinics around the country.”

Biden dismissed the notion that many illegal aliens come into the United States illegally through the southern border despite the fact that immigration arrests along the border are at a 12-year high.

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) detained 109,144 migrants along the boundary with Mexico last month, a 6 percent increase from March, as monthly arrests reached their highest point since 2007,” The Washington Post reported. “Unauthorized border crossings have more than doubled in the past year, and they are on pace to exceed 1 million on an annual basis, as Guatemalan and Honduran families continue streaming north in record numbers with the expectation they will be quickly processed and released from custody.”

“Our apprehension numbers are off the charts,” Carla Provost, chief of the Border Patrol, told the Senate on Wednesday. “We cannot address this crisis by shifting more resources. It’s like holding a bucket under a faucet. It doesn’t matter how many buckets we have if we can’t turn off the flow.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Thinks We’re Obligated to Give Illegal Aliens Healthcare” HERE)

WATCH: Biden Supporter Makes Disturbing Comments About Creepy Candidate

During a Tuesday event in Nevada, a woman shouted, “You can hug and kiss me anytime, Joe.”

It was evident Biden was uncomfortable with the comment. After all, he’s done everything can possibly can to move past the “Creepy Joe” image he’s been battling.

What’s interesting: Biden laughed as the crowd cheered. They cheered at the thought of hugs and kisses from Joe Biden. . .

Biden has come under fire after multiple women came forward, accusing him of inappropriately touching them while he was Vice President. What made things even more ironic: Biden worked on a sexual assault campaign with Lady Gaga. It was a program that Biden even made a point of highlighting when he announced his intent to run for president.

The Left has been entirely hypocritical about the sexual harassment allegations launched against Biden. They continually tell women to stand up, speak out and say something…but apparently that only applies when the person that’s being accused is a Republican.

Here’s the Viral Anti-Biden Parody Site That’s Outranking His Real Site on Google

Google “Joe Biden website” and one of the first non-ad results you’ll find is the link to JoeBiden.info, which is supposedly promoting “Joe Biden for President 2020” — but while you’ll certainly find information about the Democratic presidential frontrunner at the site, it’s not the kind of information the former vice president is hoping to push out to voters. That’s because JoeBiden.info is a parody site created by a self-described “closest to a libertarian” man who continues to be amazed at how many actual Biden supporters fall for the overtly anti-Biden site.

“Uncle Joe is back and ready to take a hands-on approach to America’s problems!” the parody site announces at the top of its homepage. “Joe Biden has a good feel for the American people and knows exactly what they really want deep down. He’s happy to open up and reveal himself to voters and will give a pounding to anybody who gets in his way!”

After a series of infamous photos and videos of Biden getting a bit “creepy” with people of all ages, the site highlights some winning quotes from Biden, including this gem about his former running mate: “I promise you, the president has a big stick.” And then there’s this other line about Barack Obama back in 2007: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” . . .

As reported by CNBC, the Biden parody site has been outranking Biden’s real campaign site for at least a couple of weeks. While not all searches for Biden will result in JoeBiden.info popping up as the first non-ad result, the searches “Biden 2020 website” and “Joe Biden info” still do (screenshots below). The search for “Joe Biden website” now pulls up CNBC’s report first, followed by the parody site second. “Biden 2020” pulls up the parody site second, just after the “Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign” Wikipedia entry.

Biden’s Grandson Asked Him About Internet Meme Accusing Him of Molesting a Child

By Breitbart. Vice President Joe Biden said his grandson asked him recently about an internet meme of him molesting a child at his son’s funeral. . .

“Pop it says: ‘Look at Biden molesting a kid,” Biden recalled about the meme, quoting his grandson. . .

The photo he was referring to was a cropped photo from the Associated Press of Biden clutching and speaking to Hunter at the 2015 funeral for his son Beau. The meme tries to capitalize on other photos on the Internet of Biden touching children and making them feel uncomfortable.

Biden said he relayed the story to show supporters that both he and his family were aware of how Trump could attack the Biden family during the 2020 election, but he spoke in detail about a conversation he had with his grandson Hunter.

Biden’s grandson Hunter is the son of Hunter Biden, who divorced his wife in 2007 and had an affair with his dead brother Beau Biden’s widow. The couple broke up, however, shortly after Biden announced his presidential campaign. (Read more from “Biden’s Grandson Asked Him About Internet Meme Accusing Him of Molesting a Child” HERE)

Biden Says Adult Granddaughter Told Him: ‘Mommy and Daddy Had a Divorce and They’re Going to Really Go After That’

By Washington Examiner. Joe Biden has said that President Trump will attack his family and that a grown-up granddaughter told him that the fact that “mommy and daddy had a divorce” would be exploited in the 2020 campaign.

“This guy [Trump] is going to go after me and my family,” Biden said a fundraiser in Columbia, S.C. on Saturday before telling a story about how his grandchildren implored him to run for president. “My generic point is they know how tough it’s going to be,” Biden said to the group of about three dozen attendees gathered in the home of Dick Harpootlian, a state senator and former South Carolina state chairman of the Democratic Party.

But it also appeared to be a warning that he considered his family to be off limits in the campaign, and that press coverage of the several women who have come forward to accuse him of touching women without their consent was hurtful to his grandchildren. . .

Hunter Biden, 49, and his wife Kathleen divorced in 2017 after it emerged that he had been having an affair with his sister-in-law Hallie after Beau’s death. Kathleen claimed in divorce papers, that Hunter had spent “extravagantly on his own interests (including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations), while leaving the family with no funds to pay legitimate bills.”

In 2014, Hunter Biden was discharged from the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine during a drug test. He joined the military at the late age of 43, which required an age waiver, as well as one for a separate drug-related incident.
