Voters were left shaking their heads after this debate.
Republican pollster and strategist Frank Luntz got an opportunity to hear from undecided voters who watched the disastrous first U.S. Presidential Debate.
One woman in the Zoom meeting said that Donald J. Trump came off like a crackhead.
Out of 15 undecided voters in a virtual focus group conducted by Luntz, four said they were supporting Democratic nominee Joe Biden after watching the debate and two backed President Donald Trump. The rest remained on the fence. There were nine men and six women and they hailed from Arizona, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Nevada.
“You just saw 90 minutes. How can you still be undecided?” an incredulous Luntz asked. “Please explain that to me?”
Despite their indecisiveness, most described Trump in a negative light, including one of the participants who was leaning toward voting for the president. The voters characterized Trump as “unhinged,” “arrogant,” “forceful," a “bully,” “chaotic” and “un-American.”
When asked to describe Biden they offered: “better than expected,” “politician,” “compassion,” “coherent,” and a “nice guy lacking vision.”
Like many who watched that debate, it was terrible. Chris Wallace failed at trying to maintain order and keeping the focus on issues. With Trump spinning around with bullshit, his debate performance may have energized his base. It certainly pissed off his Democratic opponent and those doing analysis of it.
Also the U.S. Commission on Presidential Debates have now vowed to never have that happen again.
Trump's behavior was typical.
Trump's interruptions and crosstalk now forces the committee to force order.
Conservatives are running on this narrative that Joe Biden is senile, wearing a wire, incoherent, on drugs and getting a fair shake from the junk food media.
Trust me, Biden hasn't gotten fair coverage. Only positive polls. But like most, Biden ain't going into this election thinking he's going to win this election. He is running an online ground game because of the coronavirus.
Trump wants to hold rallies despite his own Centers for Disease Control warning these events could spread the coronavirus.
Over 240,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus and there are 8 million people who were infected by this.
A former reality television star turned President of the United States versus the former Vice President of the United States turned Democratic nominee.
The second debate will be a townhall format so I expect it to be another controversial themed event.
They caught the terrorist who ambushed the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputies.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR!
The Los Angeles Police Department announced they caught the terrorist who shot two Los Angeles County Deputies in an ambush in Compton.
The suspect is identified and taken into custody without a bullet.
Earlier this month, the terrorist saw the two monitoring a transit station and ambushed them while they were doing patrol. The victims, Deputy Claudia Apolinar, 31 and her partner, 24 who wasn't identified were seriously injured by the gunfire. They survived their shootings and will be facing reconstructive surgeries.
The terrorist's brazen ambush became a political football for Donald J. Trump who is running on a white nationalist platform of "law and order." He had blasted California's governor Gavin Newsom, Joe Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Black Lives Matters and Democrats for the actions of this terrorist.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said their recoveries will be a long process but he believes they'll be back on the team soon.
The department announced they nabbed the terrorist two weeks ago. He was fingered as a suspect in a suspected carjacking. But at the time, they couldn't finger him as the attacker until they had enough evidence built against him.
This terrorist does have a history with law enforcement. He has convictions for the sales and possession of narcotics, firearm possession, receiving stolen property, burglary, terrorist threats on witness and having weapons under disability. The charges alone are enough to put him in the iron college for LIFE. The shooting of police officers could carry LIFE or DEATH in California.
Investigators on Wednesday did not provide details to the attack. The only motive they have right now is the tension with people of color being killed by police driving this terrorist to "hate police and did whatever it takes to kill them."
The terrorist fled in a black Mercedes Benz sedan. The law determined that he was riding in hot wheels. He jacked the driver and shot him. Photographs showed the terrorist and they immediately fingered him as the attempted cop-killer.
They found the terrorist in another vehicle he jacked. They tried to stop him and threw the firearm out.
He would bail out of his vehicle and run into a home where he held the law off for nine hours. He would give up after they talked him from trying to put the bullet to his head.
The LAPD and County Sheriff were determined to catch that terrorist.
The FBI and LAPD determined that the terrorist had a "ghost gun." Those are firearms built from discarded weaponry. It would be considered an untraceable firearm.
The suspect was innocent until to proven guilty in a court of law.
It keeps happening. And every time a cop kills another person of color, you're going to expect "an eye for an eye." The latest round of police violence happens in the country will set off a catalyst.
This is happening in "Donald J. Trump's America." If we re-elect Trump and Mike Pence, we're going to have more chaos and it could lead to violent acts towards people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ individuals, immigrants, those in law enforcement and currently serving politicians.
Trump is running on a white nationalist platform. He will try to pin all the blame on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as a last ditch effort to win over white voters. With Russia propaganda and agitators from both sides of the spectrum trying to sow discourse, it's going to take a miracle to drag Joe Biden across the finish line.
We are in a fucking coronavirus pandemic. We have civil unrest from coast to coast. We have natural disasters getting worse. We have an economic crisis in the country. All this while we're only less than a few months from Election Day.
Black people are getting fed up with this.
We protest.
We call for justice.
We call for peace.
We call for change in the way police handle situations.
We say we all want to go home.
We register to vote.
And nothing ever changes. It's getting to a point where now, if more Black men and women are killed by police, there's going to be someone who harbors hatred towards law enforcement plotting to assassinate police officers at their weakest points.
It touches the nation's politicians, entertainers, athletes, social media activists and families of the victims. We see these incidents over and over again. Never in my life, have I seen this much brutality from police towards people of color.
Trump, himself had told cops to rough up people.
Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.
It never happens in your community ... Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence will affect your town, your family and your life.
Everyday at least 103 people die from gun violence. I can't even tell you how many stories I've missed involving gun violence in the country. Police shootings are part of the systematic problem with gun violence. No amount of training will ever stop a cop from using split judgement when it comes to a life-or-death situation. However, given how many of these incidents should have involved deescalation, these fatal encounters should have been prevented.
WHEN COPS SEE A BLACK MAN WITH A FIREARM REGARDLESS OF IT BEING LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, THEY AUTOMATICALLY SHOOT THE BLACK MAN. EVEN AN UNARMED BLACK MAN JUST REACHING FOR A WALLET OR A DOOR HANDLE COULD BE KILLED BY THE COPS. NOW A BLACK MAN FLEEING AN ARRESTING OFFICER COULD BE KILLED. WHETHER THEY'RE IN THEIR VEHICLE OR RUNNING FROM THEM. THE COPS WILL SHOOT THE BLACK MAN. THE POLICE AND JUNK FOOD MEDIA TRY TO MAKE THE VICTIM, "THE BAD GUY" BY BRINGING UP HIS PAST HISTORY, HIS SOCIAL MEDIA OR HIS FAMILY LIFE. MANY WHITES (IN LARGE GROUPS) HAVE FIREARMS IN FRONT OF POLICE AND THEY NEVER GET SHOT OR KILLED. WHY AREN'T THEY AFRAID OF THEM? WHENEVER SOMEONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THE LACK OF BLACK FATHERS, I CONTINUE TO DENOUNCE THIS BULLSHIT. I OFTEN REMIND THEM THAT THE POLICE KILL BLACK FATHERS. THE POLICE LEAVE CHILDREN OF COLOR WITHOUT A BLACK FATHER. AND NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD BRING THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED BY THE COPS. We have unrest in the nation. African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans had enough of the status quo in politics, religion, entertainment and law. The need to change started on May 25, 2020 when a cop placed his knee on the neck of an American citizen. He screamed, "I can't breathe...." and cried for his "mama."
The announcement of the terrorist puts an end to the unwanted shooting of two deputies.
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
African Americans are going to send a message to the police.... Our message is pure and simple!
STOP KILLING US! STOP USING THE "I FEAR FOR MY LIFE" AS AN EXCUSE!
Everytime a person of color is shot and killed by the police, the far-right wants to look up the criminal history of the suspect.
If the suspect who shot at cops was white would the far-right be devoted to covering it?
WE ARE GETTING TIRED OF THIS NARRATIVE! NO MORE EXCUSES! IF YOU CAN DETAIN ARMED WHITE SUSPECT, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DETAIN A BLACK MAN WITHOUT USING DEADLY FORCE! WE ARE GETTING TIRED OF THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA ALWAYS SHOWING THE MUGSHOTS OF A PERSON OF COLOR BEING SHOT BY THE COPS! WHY CAN'T THEY USE PICTURES OF THE VICTIM BEING A HUMAN BEING AND NOT A CRIMINAL. THEY SHOWED POSITIVE PICTURES OF THAT WHITE TERRORIST WHO KILLED TWO PROTESTERS IN WISCONSIN. THEY HAVEN'T SHOWN HIS MUGSHOT YET. IF YOU FEAR FOR YOUR LIFE, YOU SHOULD NOT BE A MEMBER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT!
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP! I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. THERE IS NO GOD!
Trump tries to walk back the "Stand Back and Stand Down" remarks.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR!
When Chris Wallace asked Donald J. Trump to denounce white supremacists, he waffled.
He blatantly refused to condemn the white supremacists.
It was the "great awakening" for the white extremists. The refusal to unequivocally denounce these far-right terrorists only ensures that if he wins, they'll have an opportunity to recruit more to their movement.
He actually placed the blame of extremism on Antifa, a movement to denounce fascism.
He said that the violence in the United States lies on the feet of the left and Joe Biden.
Trump was given an example of white extremists. Wallace mentions the Proud Boys, a white chauvinist group of men who believe their race and Western Culture is under attack and their mission is to defend it and those who undermine their cause.
They have been active. They along with the QAnon, Boogaloo Bois and Three Percenters have clear and present danger in the country.
Gavin McInnes is a bullshit artist and agent provocateur.
Wallace asked Trump, "Are you willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups, and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities as we saw in Kenosha, and as we have seen in Portland." Trump replied "Sure" and "Sure, I am willing to do that" and then asked for clarification, saying "Who would you like me to condemn?" Wallace mentioned "white supremacists and right wing militia". During the exchange, Biden prompted "Proud Boys" and Trump replied "Proud Boys, stand back and stand by, but I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, somebody's got to do something about Antifa and the left, because this is not a right-wing problem."
Shortly after, one of the Proud Boys organizers, Joe Biggs, shared through his Parler social media account a logo with the president's words "Stand back" and "Stand by".
The Proud Boys Telegram channel said that they will use the comments as a motto and they captioned "God. Family. Brotherhood."
Proud Boys was founded by Gavin McInnes, a British-born Canadian/American far-right extremist who once was a progressive comedian. McInnes is best known for motivating the Proud Boys and inspiring them for violent confrontations with progressive groups.
The Proud Boys is a far-right neo-fascist male-only organization that promotes and engages in political violence.
It is based in the United States and has a presence in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.
The group was started as a joke by McInnes, taking its name from the song "Proud of Your Boy" from the Disney musical Aladdin.
The Proud Boys emerged as part of the alt-right, but McInnes began distancing himself from the alt-right in early 2017, saying the alt-right's focus is race while his focus is what he defines as "Western values." This re-branding effort intensified after the Unite the Right rally.
Trump is calling for violence if he does lose the U.S. presidential election.
The group believes men—especially white men—and Western culture are under siege; their views have elements of the white genocide conspiracy theory. Officially, the group rejects white supremacy, although members have participated in multiple racist events and events centered around anti-left violence, with a former member organizing the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.
The organization glorifies violence and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has called it an "alt-right fight club."
In late November 2018, it was reported the FBI had classified the Proud Boys as an extremist group with ties to white nationalism. Two weeks later, an FBI official briefing Clark County, Washington law enforcement officials on the group, denied that it was their intent to classify the entire group in this manner and ascribed the mistake to a misunderstanding. During the briefing, FBI agents suggested using websites for more information, including the SPLC resource.
The official said that their intent was to characterize the possible threat from certain members of the group.
The organization has been described as a hate group by NPR's The Takeaway and the SPLC.
In February 2019, despite having said that he broke his ties with the group in November 2018, McInnes filed a federal defamation suit against the SPLC over their "hate group" designation, saying that it was untrue and had damaged his career.
McInnes "winked-and-nodded." He claimed he quit The Proud Boys, although he still has ties to it.
McInnes doesn't condemn the actions of Trump found the remarks a "truth."
Shepard Smith is getting ready for his primetime newscast on CNBC. He will contribute as a commentator on NBC. It's likely Smith will be getting a spot on MSNBC in the near future. The former Fox News host left the network after he had a huge fallout with the opinion hosts.
Smith was at Fox News since its start and helped build the "straight news" section of the network.
He would often clash with many of the controversial hosts when it came to Donald J. Trump.
Now he's turning the page of that chapter and opening up a new one with NBC.
He begins a general interest nightly newscast Wednesday at 7 p.m. on the financial network CNBC, putting him back in the time slot he loved before Fox moved him to the afternoon seven years ago.
The 56-year-old newsman, a Fox News original who joined that network at its start in 1996, says he’s relishing the fresh start.
“We’re going to come out and do just the news,” he said. “We’re not planning to do any analysis in our news hour. We’re going to have journalists, reporters, sound and video. We’re going to have newsmakers and experts ... but no pundits. We’re going to leave the opinion to others. It’s exactly what I’ve been wanting to do. It’s what I’ve been working at for 30 years.”
He’ll work out of a new studio that’s been built for him at CNBC’s New Jersey headquarters by three crews that kept construction going 24 hours a day over eight weeks.
Smith left more questions than answers upon his Fox exit, leaving others to speculate about why. His 3 p.m. newscast stood out at a network where opinion is king, and sometimes he challenged statements made by the network’s prime-time hosts.
Figuratively speaking, he didn’t smash windows on the way out and still doesn’t.
“I built a career at Fox News and I have some deep friendships, ones that I’m going to keep forever,” he said. “But simply, I just felt it was the right time to leave. I asked them if I could and they eventually allowed me to do that.”
At Fox, “their business model is working very well for them,” he said. “Their opinion people state their opinions and they draw big audiences. I have no problem with that.”
Smith’s 2013 removal from the evening schedule, where the biggest cable news audiences reside, was an early sign that the balance was tipping toward more opinion — and not just at Fox. It was announced that he would be on call to anchor in prime-time during big stories, but there proved little interest in pre-empting the stars.
His 3 p.m. newscast was influential, even if unpopular with many core Fox viewers, and the network’s willingness to pay its personalities well no doubt eased hurt feelings.
He left Fox two weeks after an ugly incident with Tucker Carlson, who brought on a guest who said Fox’s Andrew Napolitano was a “fool” for analysis offered on Smith’s show. Smith said on the air that Carlson’s attack was repugnant.
Asked about it, Smith said that “I had felt like it was time for a new challenge for a long time. Nothing about any talent, any on-air people at that place, pushed me out the door.”
Smith, a Mississippi native, said he enjoyed some down time, with a couple of vacations. He also took meetings with plenty of media suitors.
“He’s smart as a whip, agile, super curious and an amazing broadcaster,” said news consultant Michael Clemente, Smith’s former boss at Fox News and a longtime ABC News executive. “He’s in the same league as Peter Jennings. He’s probably got better chops than just about everyone who is out there, and he’s not a product of New York. He’s not from Los Angeles. He’s from the core of the country.”
Every few years when Smith approached the end of a contract, CNBC Chairman Mark Hoffman would check in with Smith’s agent, Larry Kramer. In a nearly empty Manhattan restaurant just before the COVID shutdown, the three men met.
With CNN, MSNBC and the broadcast networks courting Smith, CNBC was considered an underdog, at best.
“My feeling was that it was not an obvious, conventional move for him,” Hoffman said. “But at the same time I felt we had a concept we had been thinking about for a number of years that just might fit his interests. It just so happened that it was, item for item, exactly what Shep was looking for.”
CNBC offers financial news during the day and general interest programs that appeal to an affluent audience at night, things like “Shark Tank,” “Jay Leno’s Garage” and “Secret Lives of the Super Rich.” The network needed something to serve as a bridge between the day and night identities, and thought a smart, straight newscast could do the trick, he said.
“We really clicked at that first meeting,” Hoffman said. “It was one of those easy conversations. It wasn’t a sales pitch. We didn’t talk about what we wanted him to do. I just talked about what we wanted to do. We had a nice chemistry and our interests seemed to be aligned. I would say he left the meeting intrigued and then it moved from there.”
That was their last face-to-face meeting. Negotiations were done via Zoom.
Smith said he heard great ideas from other networks. “It’s just that this one fit better,” he said.
Being part of the larger NBC News family would hold potential future options for Smith, as well as providing journalists whose work could be included in his new CNBC show.
Otherwise, CNBC offers the closest thing to a clean slate you can find in television news. Fox News Channel is averaging 2.7 million viewers in the 7 p.m. time slot this year. MSNBC has 1.7 million and CNN has 1.5 million, the Nielsen company said.
At the same time on CNBC, “Shark Tank” has been averaging 153,000 viewers.
There’s really no other place to go but up.
“It’s not an easy thing to start from scratch,” Smith said. “There’s no muscle memory at CNBC in terms of doing a general newscast. We’re creating all of that. And that’s fun. It was fun creating in 1996, and it’s fun creating in 2020.”
NBC had picked up some of the discarded trash over at Fox. They picked up Megyn Kelly and Greta Van Susteren. So far, they were too toxic for the NBC News and MSNBC brand. They cut them loose.
Gabrielle Union and NBC reached a settlement. It puts an end to the longstanding feud the entertainer had with the network and its program America's Got Talent. It also puts the show's executive producer and creator Simon Cowell on the bubble.
This was a messy issue. Union and Julianne Hough were fired out the cannon after a hosting a season of AGT. Union claimed that the show fired her out the cannon after she made complaints that the show tolerated racism and sexism on the set.
The network and Union said the matter is resolved. She was given a "significant" compensation from the network as a part of the settlement.
"We've reached an amicable resolution," Union and the network said in a statement.
"NBC Entertainment appreciates the important concerns raised by Gabrielle Union and remains committed to ensuring an inclusive and supportive working environment where people of all backgrounds are treated with respect."
Union and Julianne Hough were fired out the cannon at AGT.
Both sides declined further comment and would not give further details.
Union said she was fired out the cannon after she complained about producers making racist jokes and it being a toxic work environment.
Union who has asthma said that Cowell would regularly smoke on the set.
Union gave detailed accounts of the issues in a complaint to the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing that she filed in June.
Union alleged she was harassed and discriminated against because of her race and experienced retaliation for reporting these issues.
"Union, a Black woman, was singled out due to her physical appearance and discriminated against by NBC due to the fact that her hair did not fit within the white image that NBC apparently sought to convey to the audience," the complaint stated.
Simon Cowell, Sophia Vergara, Terry Crews, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel are back with AGT.
One complaint made was the joke Jay Leno made during a taping. He cracked a joke about Cowell's pet dogs. He said that they looked like food items found on a menu at a Korean restaurant, peddling a stereotype of Asian people eating dog meat.
The network has rehired Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Terry Crews. They added Sophia Vergara as a judge to the show. Cowell who had a serious back injury from a bicycle accident will be returning to the show in late October.
They will do taping for the show but limit the contestants and audience due to COVID-19.
Union is an actress, model, director and activist. She is married to Dwyane Wade, former NBA legend.
The first debate wrapped up and the junk food media has said that it was terrible.
Many believed that Chris Wallace failed at controlling the situation. He spent a majority of the time trying to calm President Donald J. Trump down. It was not a typical debate. I didn't get an opportunity to watch it.
However, I did see it on television screens without sound. All I can say, every few seconds I can expect Trump to interrupt former Vice President Joe Biden.
Trump was constantly interrupting Biden and Wallace.
I am really annoyed here with this......!
Wallace didn't handle this well. He allowed Trump to deliberately lie to the American people.
I believe Trump won the debate. Not because he is a good debater.
Trump lied about 95% of the time.
He won because he's a walking talking distraction. He won't admit to his faults and he resorts to baseless accusations. Wallace allowed this asshole make himself look like he's a savior.
Biden couldn't get a moment to attack Trump without interruptions from Wallace.
The only memorable line from this debate is "Will You Shut Up Man."
I am going to say this, if there's gonna be another debate, the next moderator will have to take control of this.
Trump and Biden come to Ohio for the first presidential debate.
Donald J. Trump and Joe Biden are going to debate tonight in Cleveland, Ohio. The state of Ohio is crucial swing state in the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. As of right now, Trump has a 2 point lead against Biden in this state. This is the first debate for both the president and former vice president.
NO REPUBLICAN EVER WON THE WHITE HOUSE WITHOUT CARRYING OHIO.
Trump carried Ohio in 2016 by 8 points.
The city will have a large police presence. The city will be having expected protesters, the junk food media and agitators from the left and right giving analysis to a historical event.
A former reality television star turned President of the United States versus the former Vice President of the United States turned Democratic nominee.
Both are over 70 years old. Both have been through a laundry list of accomplishments and controversies.
They will both face questions about their records and must provide the nation a clear cut message about how they could run this country.
Chris Wallace will moderate the first debate. Will he be a "fair and balanced" moderator?
Chris Wallace of Fox News will be the first moderator of this debate. The debate will be 90 minutes and it will be divided into six 15-minute segments without commercial breaks.
Wallace will address issues that may come off as controversial.
He will ask the two about these issues:
The Trump and Biden records
The Supreme Court
The COVID-19 pandemic
The economy
Race and violence in American cities
The integrity of the election.
Some issues missing from the debate include: Climate change, wealth inequality, the Middle East conflicts, unemployment, gridlock in Washington and government shutdowns.
Who will win tonight's debate?
As of today, we have over 8 million Americans infected by the coronavirus. We have over 240,000 Americans killed from the disease. We have over 30 million Americans out of work. We have unrest in the United States. Since the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and numerous others, the need for police reform and gun control are front and center. We have a partisan divide over the Supreme Court. Trump is ignoring the pandemic to focus on trying to ram through an inexperienced jurist to the Supreme Court. He will try to pack the Court to sway election results, repeal the Affordable Care Act, restrict women's health and the right to choose. We have wildfires in the Western states. . Hurricanes in the Gulf States. Massive flooding and tornadoes in the Midwest. We have unseasonable snow storms in the Mountain States. We have extreme heat in most American states. Glaciers are melting in the Artic and Antarctic. We have the coronavirus and deadly Japanese giant hornets in the United States. We have a spike in mosquitoes carrying dandee fever and Western Nile Virus. We have animals going extinct because of climate change.
The continent of Australia has seen its worst wildfires in a generation. It killed over 3 million endangered animals
Who got this?
We have Israel continuing massive removals of Palestinians in the West Bank. They ignore the treaties recently signed to continue to build settlements despite human right violations.
We have the Russian Federation poisoning critics, political candidates, meddling in the U.S., French, British and Ukrainian elections.
The United States is no longer considered a leading ally in the world. Under this president, we have seen our allies lost confidence in our ability to lead, govern and set the example.
The University of Norte Dame dropped the debate after a spike in coronavirus cases.
I remember Dayton, Ohio lost out on the national debate. Trump and Hillary Clinton were expected to make an appearance in Ohio for the debate at Wright State University. The university's economic woes forced it to drop the debate. Dayton was hoping to seize on the revenue. Clinton's failure to visit Dayton cost her big time.
Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic will partner up for this debate.
Outgoing Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is being duped by far-white extremist James O'Keefe.
We're guessing "Russia's favorite Democrat" will be heading to "Trump's favorite network."
Gabbard, a moderate Democrat from Hawai'i and former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate is retiring from Congress. Rather than face a humiliating defeat by her former primary opponent, the 40-year old lawmaker decides to bolt from the DC Swamp.
Gabbard is no ally of the Democratic Party. She was one of the primary reasons to why Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) ran on this narrative that the Democratic National Committee "stole" the primary from him.
Gabbard had an open feud with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) over the primaries. The leftists believed that Wasserman Schultz was putting the finger on the scale for Hillary Clinton.
Of course, she ran for president herself and battled against Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). She also managed to get the "Kamala is Cop" nonsense going with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA).
Gabbard only maintained an average of 2% in the primaries. She was a primary focus of concern among Democrats and the U.S. Intelligence.
Clinton made a remark about the "Russian government and Republicans grooming a candidate to run a third party bid to spurn Joe Biden if he won the nomination."
That riled up Gabbard who called Clinton, "The Queen of Warmongers." And she threatened a lawsuit against the former 2016 Democratic nominee. She went to "Sucker" Tucker Carlson and Sean "Softball" Hannity to cry about how the Democrats were being mean to her.
She also lost support when she became one of three lawmakers in the party to not vote for impeaching Donald J. Trump. The other one is Rep. Collin Peterson (D-MI), a far-right Democrat who is a bigot and Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), a former Democratic lawmaker who switched parties shortly after the vote.
Gabbard failed for the red pill. She is railing against ballot harvesting and cited a recent video from Project Veritas purporting to show individuals tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MNO)., engaging in illegal ballot harvesting before the election.
"Project Veritas offers further evidence of the need to ban ballot harvesting," Gabbard wrote on Twitter on Monday. "It's not a partisan issue. It's been abused to help both [Republican and Democratic] candidates, including in North Carolina [and] California. Please help by telling your congressional rep to pass our bipartisan bill HR8285."
Gabbard explained ballot harvesting in an earlier video she linked to.
James O'Keefe is forever known as the ACORN Pimp.
"This is a system that allows for third parties to collect and deliver ballots for other people, potentially large numbers of people," she said. "Unfortunately, ballot harvesting has allowed for fraud and abuse to occur by those who could tamper with or discard ballots to try to sway an election."
The Minneapolis Police Department is investigating claims by Project Veritas, a far-white activist group, that individuals tied to Omar were involved in the illegal activity.
Project Veritas' latest video lit up social media as it came just weeks before a presidential election that is expected to see a surge in absentee and mail-in voting. In Minnesota, the issue has come under judicial scrutiny as Republicans and Democrats battled over a measure that would limit the number of ballots a third party could hold for others.
Project Veritas offers further evidence of the need to ban ballot harvesting. It's not a partisan issue. It's been abused to help both R & D candidates, including in North Carolina & California. Please help by telling your congressional rep to pass our bipartisan bill HR8285. https://t.co/AJequVVrzc
According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the state's supreme court recently allowed voting to proceed without a three-person limit on the number of ballots any one individual can collect.
Trump has already called on the Justice Department to investigate the claims, which include allegations of a cash-for-ballot scheme.
The noise ain't going to stop Ilhan Omar.
Democratic groups are preparing for James O'Keefe and his merry band of sycophants. Progressives groups are aware of the possibility of Project Veritas infiltrating.
There's a website called Project Veritas Exposed. It has the photos and names of those who tried to infiltrate organizations with malicious intentions.
If a group tries to offer money for illegal activity or unethical purpose, you might want to call the law on them. Because usual tactics of the Project Veritas is to offer large sums to help groups but in order to get it, do a little favor.
Even the leftists are shocked that Gabbard fell for this bullshit. The Young Turks, Rebel HQ and Jacobin are pissed their favorite "leftist" is a Samoan white nationalist.
Don't fall into the traps. Ignore Tulsi Gabbard, Fox News, James O'Keefe and Project Veritas.
VOTE VOTE EARLY (SAFELY) VOTE ABSENTEE AND MAIL-IN (FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS) VOTE IN-PERSON (SAFELY) VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS. VOTE FOR TINA SMITH.
VOTE FOR EVERY DEMOCRAT IN MINNESOTA CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE EXCEPT COLIN PETERSON. ILHAN OMAR, RASHIDA TLAIB, ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ AND AYANNA PRESSLEY BETTER GET A BILL PASSED OR FACE A TOUGH PRIMARY IN 2022. DEFEAT DONALD TRUMP, MIKE PENCE, REPUBLICANS, WHITE NATIONALISM AND STUPIDITY.
Did you know that rapper/media personality Da Brat's half-sister is actress/model/reality television agitator LisaRaye McCoy?
On the Fox Soul podcast Cocktails with Queens, there was tension between the two. LisaRaye went "Black" on the ladies and spared no one. She aimed most of the attacks at Da Brat.
LisaRaye felt disrespected by Da Brat. The two have some unresolved tensions and it came to head on this podcast.
Da Brat recently announced she's a lesbian (bisexual) and is engaged to her longtime girlfriend, reality television agitator and business mogul Jesseca Dupart.
On the podcast, LisaRaye celebrates her birthday with the cast of Fox Soul. They introduced her half-sister as a surprise present to her. It literally caught the entertainer off guard. She was literally in tears when she brought Da Brat on the show.
Claudia Jordan, Syleena Johnson and Vivica A. Fox were shocked to hear LisaRaye go off on them and Da Brat like that.
LisaRaye was upset over the fact Brat kept her personal life out of the spotlight. Like most people in the news, we all found out through the junk food media about Brat's coming out and her engagement.
You would think she would tell her sister about it. I guess that's what drove LisaRaye to rip the rapper and the co-hosts a new one.
"I just did not want to hear it from the blog. I didn't get to hear it from you. I had to see it from someplace else, so I'm hurt. That's what I am," said LisaRaye.
It's been well known the two share the same father. But folks didn't care or it was just an "open secret."
The two started to argue when LisaRaye accused Brat of not keeping in touch with her. The entertainer laid the smackdown. She said she's the reason why Brat got Jesseca.
"I don't give a fuck what ya'll saying. I don't give a fuck what y'all saying. At all. Y'all don't know shit. At all. She do," LisaRaye said.
R&B Singer Syleena Johnson tired to keep the women from arguing and the podcast end on a sour note.
Brat ended with the interview with tears. It was an awkward experience.
I will say that blood is thicker than water. But in the world of hip-hop, a rap feud doesn't often involve rappers. It involves entertainers and rappers (even if its by the bloodline).
Fox is moving forwards with the Fall shows despite the possibility everything could be cancelled due to COVID-19. So far their fall shows are on and America is watching.
For over 20 years, Family Guy's Mike Henry voiced many characters of color. He is a white actor, comedian and writer. He is also the co-creator of a spin-off series based off one of his main talents.
This year, Henry stepped down from the roles he's been known for playing. He will still have a place on Family Guy and the Seth MacFarlane Caravan of Comedy. But he will no longer voice Cleveland Brown, Rallo Tubbs and Consuela, the Mexican housekeeper.
"I love the character, but persons of color should play characters of color," Henry said.
Fox confirmed that Arif Zahir, a YouTube media personality will take permanent role as Cleveland.
Henry will remain the characters as Bruce the gay performance artists, Herbert the pedophile, Ernie The Chicken and other characters.
Zahir will begin voicing Cleveland and other characters at the start of Season 19.
Henry who is also a director and writer for Family Guy and American Dad has promised a smooth transition for Cleveland and other roles. Seth MacFarlane, Alec Sulkin and Rich Appel are welcoming Zahir to the zany antics of Quahog, Rhode Island.
Arif Zahir will take a permanent role on Family Guy.
"I welcome Arif to the Family Guy team," Henry said. "Arif's vocal talent is obvious, but his understanding of Cleveland and his respect for the character give me confidence that he is in the right hands. I look forward to getting to know Arif and working with him to make sure Cleveland stays every bit as awesome as he has always been."
Since 1999, Family Guy has been a controversial animated sitcom. It features the Griffin family.
Seth MacFarlane voices Peter, Stewie, Brian, Quagmire and some Black characters. He will no longer portray Black characters anymore.
Henry who voiced Cleveland since the start and throughout The Cleveland Show run saw the pain many people of color faced throughout the George Floyd tragedy.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson normally doesn't get involved in politics. At one time, he was a registered Republican. All of that changed when Donald J. Trump became the President of the United States.
He said that Trump's failures as president has made the choice clear for him.
As a political independent & centrist, I’ve voted for both parties in the past. In this critical presidential election, I’m endorsing @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris.
"....as a registered independent for years now with centrist ideologies, I do feel that Vice President [Joe] Biden and Senator [Kamala] Harris are the best choice to lead our country, and I am endorsing them to become President, and Vice President, of the United States."
Johnson said that he has voted for both parties in the past and that this is "arguably the most critical election our country has seen in decades."
The seven and a half minute announcement video included a brief interview Johnson had with Biden and Harris where he asks them how they will earn the respect from the American people when they are in The White House.
CNN reports that Biden promised that if he's elected, he will tell the truth, be open about failures and take responsibility for his actions. Harris also said that the need to have accountability is crucial in this election. She has been very active in campaigning on behalf of the Biden Presidential Campaign.
In a video chat with Biden and Harris, Johnson asks the candidates what can they do to win over independent voters.
She said that Trump's handling of the coronavirus, the Supreme Court pick of Amy Coney Barrett and the divisions in the country have only accelerated the need to motivate Democrats to vote.
Johnson and Trump are inductees of the World Wrestling Entertainment's Hall of Fame.
The retired wrestler, turned actor and business mogul has endorsed Joe Biden for president. He says that his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) is a "total badass" and would make a great vice president.
As expected, the far-right complains. Your usual sycophants like Candace Owens, Tomi Lahren, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Bill O'Reilly, Mark Levin and Laura Ingraham will blast the endorsement. They will say that entertainers and athletes should "shut up" about politics.
Yet, when Scott Baio, Roseanne Barr, Kirstie Alley, James Woods, Chuck Woolery, Isaiah Washington and Dennis Miller speak, they're praised for being "patriots."
The shameless hypocrisy within the Republican Party and the conservative movement.
Earlier this month, the far-right attacks Cardi B for endorsing Biden. Owens, a notorious troll engaged in a weeks long feud with the entertainer.
Ignore the far-right noise and vote.
