ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos ask Pelosi if the American people would see a stimulus before the election. Pelosi put the pressure on the Trump administration.

Trump refuses virtual debate; Biden opts to do a town hall

written by Ruben Jay

President Donald Trump called into Fox and Friends this morning and announced that he refused to do a virtual debate with Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Trump called the virtual debates a “non-starter” claiming that it would be easy for him to be cut off.

In a statement later in the day, the Trump campaign petitioned the Commission for Presidential Debates to move the next two debates by one week. The next debate is scheduled for October 15 and the Trump administration is asking for it to be done on October 22.

“As President Trump said, a virtual debate is a non-starter and would clearly be a gift to Biden because he would be relying on his teleprompter from his basement bunker,” said Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien. “Voters should have the opportunity to directly question Biden’s 47-year failed record of leadership. We agree that this should happen on October 22, and accordingly, the third debate should then be shifted back one week to October 29. The CPD and the media cannot hide Joe Biden forever. Americans deserve to hear directly from both presidential candidates on these dates, October 22 and 29.” (Source: The Hill).

The New York Post is now reporting that Joe Biden has opted to do a town hall on ABC. Biden will be taking questions from voters with George Stephanopoulos moderating.

The Commission for Presidential Debates have not cancelled the next debate and plans to send staff to Miami to set up for the debate in anticipation of the event happening.

[EDITORIAL] CNN is silent as footage surfaces of Biden calling military members ‘stupid bastards’

written by Ruben Jay

Former Vice President Joe Biden openly called military members ‘stupid bastards’ during a 2016 speech. The Daily Wire reports that Biden said “I have incredibly good judgment…One, I married Jill, and two, I appointed Johnson to the academy. I just want you to know that. Clap for that, you stupid bastards.”

Biden would go on and call the audience “slow.” While you can tell in the video below that the Vice President was joking, there is a bigger problem from here.

Wow. Democrat Presidential candidate Joe Biden called our troops "stupid bastards" in 2016. How did this video stay hidden for so long? There’s only one stupid bastard in this clip and it’s definitely not any of our troops… pic.twitter.com/YZ99utMx30

Media Hypocrisy

The problem with this video (outside of the terrible unfunny punchline) is that if this would have been Trump, CNN would have 17 stories about it, MSNBC would have 22 stories and Rachel Maddow would tease the story for an entire hour, and of course it would be trending worldwide on Twitter. However, that has not and I am willing to bet money, will not be featured as major news.

In fact, I just went to CNN.com right now and there it not one story. I did a quick survey of their home page and not one story about this on their home page nor is there a feature on their US News page. I wouldn’t be surprised that when conservatives get upset about this, CNN and MSNBC will decide to run stories about the anger about the comments and not the comments themselves.

Unnamed Sources

A few weeks ago, The Atlantic ran a story about 4 unnamed sources claiming President Trump called dead veterans “suckers and losers.” Those unnamed sources never came forward nor did they present any evidence to prove their claims. The Atlantic treated this story as gold. The left leaning media only ran stories about how Trump said these claims and even said that they didn’t need proof.

Many of Trump’s former subordinate and now enemies like John Bolton have come out to say that these comments were never spoken. Even with named sources going on the record debunking this claim, the mainstream media ran with this story as if it were gospel.

The Problem

Trump often riffs and free balls his comments while on stage. He will say things like “Maybe I run for a third term” or “I think they owe me two more years as President” and other obvious jokes in a joking manner. Those jokes are taken as serious and CNN will run piece after piece after piece on those comments.

The double standard between the “bad orange man” and the “savior of our republic” is apparent and shameful. I am not writing this because I am angry at Biden. I am writing this because I am angry at CNN and the news media. This is a double standard where their bias is so open and apparent that they should be ashamed to call themselves news.

Biden’s comments were not funny. At least with Trump you can get a chuckle from the line.

If anything, can we at least get a headline saying how unfunny Biden is?

Florida AG Ashley Moody seeks an investigation into Michael Bloomberg’s donation to pay off felon’s fines

written by Ruben Jay

The Florida Attorney General is requesting that the FBI and Florida’s Department of Law Enforcement to investigate Micheal Bloomberg’s donation to pay off the fines of Florida felons in order to reinstate their voting rights.

Ashley Moody said she is requesting that the agencies look into “potential violations of election laws.”

Bloomberg is the former Mayor of New York and had a brief primary campaign to be the Democratic candidate for President of the Unites States of America. Bloomberg reportedly spent $500 million in his campaign

According to CNN, Bloomberg has reportedly raised $16 million to pay off the fines of more than 30,000 black and latino felons in Florida. This act would make it possible for those Felons to reinstate their voting rights in the state.

In Florida, felons have to pay off all debts before getting their voting rights back.

Moody’s letter, dated Wednesday, said, “After preliminarily reviewing this limited public information and law, it appears further investigation is warranted.”

The FBI office in Tampa claim it has not received the letter from Moody but “standard policy is not to confirm nor deny the existence of an investigation,” a FBI spokesperson Andrea Aprea told CNN. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement said they recieved the letter and “will review the information.”

Amy Coney Barrett reportedly meets with President Trump

written by Ruben Jay

According to the Daily Wire, Amy Coney Barrett has met with President Trump on Monday.

Barrett is said to be one of the top picks for the now vacant seat once filled by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ginsburg passed on September 18, 2020.

“Trump has told allies that he thinks Barrett, 48, is a smart, hard-nosed, conservative jurist who would also come across well during televised confirmation hearings,” Bloomberg News reported. “Trump also believes Barrett won’t be wobbly on major issues for conservatives, including abortion, gun rights and health care, when they come before the court.”

Barrett is on a short list of possible nominations.
