Biden digs his own grave in ninety minutes


Biden gaffes that will cost him millions of votes

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By —— Bio and Archives—October 1, 2020

 

The bruising brawl over six rounds of fifteen minutes each—advertised as the first Presidential Debate—saw Joe Biden:

  • Alienate a large part of his voter base by denigrating Bernie Sanders and repudiating the 110 page Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations (“Manifesto”)
  • Hold the voters in contempt by refusing to answer whether he would pack the Supreme Court with his nominees if he won the election and Democrats became the majority in the Senate.

Biden’s readiness to demean Sanders and abandon the Manifesto during the following exchange was breathtaking—and Trump was quick to take advantage:

BIDEN: My party is me.

TRUMP: And socialist health care.

BIDEN: Right now, I am the Democratic Party.

TRUMP: And they’re going to dominate you, Joe, you know that.

BIDEN: I am the Democratic Party right now. The platform of the Democratic Party—

TRUMP: Not according to Harris.

BIDEN:—is what I, in fact, approved of. What I approved of…

… TRUMP: Joe, you agreed with Bernie Sanders’s far left on the manifesto, we call it.

BIDEN: Manifesto? Look…

TRUMP: And that gives you socialized medicine.

BIDEN: Look, hey, I’m not going to listen to him. The fact of the matter is I beat Bernie Sanders…

TRUMP: Not by much.

BIDEN: I beat him by a whole hell of a lot. I’m here standing facing you, old buddy.

TRUMP: If “Pocahontas” would’ve left two days early, you would’ve lost every primary.

BIDEN: All he knows how to do is hurt…

TRUMP: On Super Tuesday, you got very lucky.

BIDEN: Look, here’s the deal. I got very lucky, I’m going to get very lucky tonight as well. And tonight I’m going to make sure because here’s the deal.

BIDEN: There is no manifesto, number one.

WALLACE: Please let him speak, Mr. President.

BIDEN: Number two…

TRUMP: You just lost the left.

BIDEN: Number two…

TRUMP: You just lost the left. You agreed with Bernie Sanders on a plan that’s absolutely…

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: … socialized medicine.

Biden insulted the voters’ intelligence by refusing to disclose his intentions on packing the Supreme Court:

WALLACE: All right. I have one final question for you, Mr. Vice President. If Senate Republicans—we were talking originally about the Supreme Court here. If Senate Republicans go ahead and confirm Justice Barrett, there has been talk about ending the filibuster or even packing the court, adding to the nine justices there. You called this a distraction by the president, but in fact it wasn’t brought up by the president; it was brought up by some of your Democratic colleagues in the Congress.

BIDEN: I’m saying…

WALLACE: So my question to you, is you have refused in the past to talk about it. Are you willing to tell the American people tonight whether or not you will support either ending the filibuster, or packing the court…

BIDEN: Whatever the position I take on that, that will become the issue. The issue is the American people should speak. You should go out and vote. You’re in voting now. Vote and let your senators know how strongly you feel. Vote now. Make sure you in fact let people know.

TRUMP: He doesn’t want to answer the question.

BIDEN: I’m not going to answer that question because…

TRUMP: Why wouldn’t you answer that question?

BIDEN: The question is…

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: The radical left…

BIDEN: Would you shut up, man?

Trump won’t be shutting up—that’s for sure.

Neither will the Republican Party as they swamp the media with ads featuring these two major Biden gaffes that will cost him millions of votes.

Forget Science – subscribe to Nihilism instead – NOT REALLY!


By education, I mean a system of teaching a broad curriculum with the basics of the major fields of knowledge, from history to modern technologies that also fosters critical thinking and curiosity

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By —— Bio and Archives—September 30, 2020

 

As it appears, simply destroying statues of explorers, statesmen, or other notables from centuries past no longer satisfies the current lust for mayhem of the “forward-looking progressive minds.”

Now, even park benches in memory of entirely non-political scholars of the past are deemed to be inappropriate to sensitive woke minds. One example is a park bench, dedicated to the memory of one of the greatest biologists/naturalists of the distant past, namely Carl von Linné (1707-1778).

Homo sapiens

Poor Carl, a simple park bench—with his name mentioned on the back—may become another victim of the modern Zeitgeist. You may wonder, what exactly was Carl’s claim to his (current) infamy? He created the term “Homo sapiens”—what a crime!

This Latin term simply means something like “wise human.” You might think of that as being good, or normal, or even as “modern.” As it appears, the local political powers in Oslo, Norway, have concluded otherwise. It could be interpreted as an affront to less modern or wise inhabitants. And that, as you, my Dear Readers will recognize instantly—and indubitably, I presume—as a great faux pas!

It’s perfectly OK to use modern instant communication facilities to chat with your like-minded nihilists,  but anyone that may have labored hard in past centuries to build the knowledge base that such facilities relies on are to be damned and forgotten.

Most likely it’s of little consolation to Linné and other scholars of the past, like philosopher David Hume (1711-1776), and explorers, cartographers, politicians and other notables of former times that they are similarly being degraded now. Without their attention to detail and perseverance against many obstacles to their work and dedication, our world would not be where it’s at now.

In fact, none of the modern engines that power the world and none of the many other conveniences would ever have come into existence. What the “Snowflakes” would do without instant access to the latest social media info, news and videos from far corners of the Earth (or even the Universe) on their “smart phones —I wonder.

Affordable Energy & Food—when it’s needed

However, there’s another dimension to modern accomplishments besides gadgets and living conditions in general. That’s the availability of on-demand energy and nourishments at an affordable cost.

Ever since Homo sapiens learned to behold the heat of fire, life improved. Gathering the fruits from the environment gave way to developing weapons like the atlatl, bow and arrow, and gunpowder that led to the rise of towns and cities as are now found across the entire world. Having access to abundant energy allowed more time for more productive work not just a continuous struggle for survival. It enabled more efficient planting and harvesting of agricultural products with increased yields, thus more people to get fed better.

That elevated productivity also encouraged curious minds to observe the results of experiments and invent all kinds of new insights and systems that propelled each other further “up the hill.” Of course, making any of such ideas widely known was a critical point of inflection. It came with the invention of the printing press by J. Gutenberg (1400-1468).

That ushered in a period of extraordinary development in any field of exploration. This period became known as the Renaissance. The discovery of the Americas by C. Columbus (1451-1506) was just the beginning of this long journey of discovery.

Really, there are too many milestones and important inventions to list them here. Just let me mention a few: namely the steam engine (J Watt, 1736-1819) and others, often expanding on past knowledge, like the internal combustion engine (N. Otto, 1832-1891), the (safe to handle) explosive compound dynamite (A. Nobel, 1833-1896), the recognition of antimicrobial lotions (Paracelsus, 1493-1541), and many other (at the time) revolutionary insights and discoveries.

From the Renaissance to Nihilism

The human race certainly went on a binge of innovations, ever since. But times are a’ changing—not necessarily for the better.

Now, I think, we seem to enter a retro-period. The signs are all around. As it appears, some of the aforementioned inventions are about to be heaved onto history’s scrap heap, lock, stock and barrel. This is a kind of nihilism, change for change’s sake.

For example, the “carbon-fuel” based internal combustion engines (ICEs) are ordered to become obsolete in the not too distant future. As reported, the California Governor, G.Newsom, just signed an executive order that aims to ban the sale of new internal combustion engine cars in the state by 2035. Just so, by the wisdom of the state.

The order did not specify what was supposed to take the ICEs place. Presumably the idea is to replace them with (battery-powered) electric vehicles. Or, perhaps the new European “grand idea” of hydrogen-fueled cars or “hybrids” of some sort.

Believe me, the world’s energy demand is much greater than what could be created from wind, solar, or biomass (wood- or agricultural products-burning) systems and certainly not without obliterating much of the world’s forest and food producing areas. The path forward is not IN returning to the past. It is to wisely use the accumulated wisdom OF the past to decide on where to go in the future.

The Future is in Education

By education, I mean a system of teaching a broad curriculum with the basics of the major fields of knowledge, from history to modern technologies that also fosters critical thinking and curiosity.

It’s vital to the ”survival of the fittest.”

Trump Approves Railroad to Help Alberta


Armstrong Economics Blog/Energy

Re-Posted Sep 30, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT:  Trump to approve $22B railway between Alaska and Alberta
Is Trump aiding Alberta’s separation? This is a very big deal for our landlocked oil market!

AG

REPLY: Yes. Trump stands against the Globalists who are seeking power via the United Nations and to end all fossil fuels. His two speeches at Davos and the United Nations threw down the gauntlet against the entire Gates-Soros-Schwab-Gore alliance. This is why this election is so heated, for they are desperate to remove him for their climate change agenda which will put Alberta out of business.

The Debate


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted Sep 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The debate was not very presidential. Trump was too hot and interrupted way too much. Biden did not act very presidential either way too many lies and too many name-callings. Neither Biden nor Trump really provided any clue as to how to deal with COVID. Trump tried to rattle Biden but that worked only marginally.

Biden suddenly abandoned the extreme left saying he does not support the violence or defunding police but said he was the Democratic Party yet then said he is not President so he did not call any Democratic governors to tell them to bring in the national guard.

Of course, we vote for parties, not individuals. That died with the 1800s. So, it really is not about either candidate personally for they are limited in their capacity to actually run the nation as a single individual. It takes Congress to legislate the laws.

Nevertheless, both these individuals revealed how far politics has fallen. I have never heard in any debate someone calling the current head of state a clown. This entire debate was really a disgrace.

Biden’s False Claims About his Past – Are they Lies or Fantasies?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted Sep 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The real question with Biden is we no longer know if he is lying or fantasizing about his past. Biden’s claim about attending historically black Delaware State has been refuted by the university itself. Biden declared last year that he began his academic career at Delaware State University, which is a historically black college. But the university flat outright says sorry — no way. The Democrats seem to need someone to be president to push their globalist agenda and to surrender sovereignty on climate to the United Nations. They even proposed to hand $3 trillion to the IMF to fund this globalist agenda. It just seems that any real president would never agree to such a thing regardless of their party. It is just becoming increasingly suspicious as to why the Democrats would put forward a man who might not be all there?

Appointees to the Supreme Court Are Not Required to Appear Before the Judiciary Committee under the Constitution


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Posted Sep 28, 2020 by Martin Armstrong
We now have this nonsense put forth by Schumer that McConnel is destroying the institution of the Senate by appointing a justice to the Supreme Court before the election. He is calling McConnel’s, equally absurd argument he made when Justice Antonin Scalia died in February of 2016 nine months before the election.

McConnel argued that President Barack Obama should not appoint a new justice because he couldn’t run again. The seat should not be filled in an election year, McConnel claimed and refused to hold hearings to consider Obama’s eventual nominee, Judge Merrick Garland. McConnell said that not since 1888 had the Senate confirmed a Supreme Court nominee by an opposing party’s President to fill a vacancy that arose in an election year.

To make this very clear, there is ABSOLUTELY no requirement by the Constitution to withhold a vacancy to the Supreme Court because of politics. This is not law, and it was not even a rule. It was politics.

Indeed, candidates for the Supreme Court never appeared before the Senate until 1925. They were reviewed solely on their qualifications with no questioning. So all this argument over destroying the institution of the Senate is also total nonsense. On January 5, 1925, President Calvin Coolidge had nominated Attorney General Harlan Fiske Stone to a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court. Almost everyone agreed that Stone’s character, learning, and temperament eas excellent for the job. However, a complication arose that threatened Stone’s chances for an easy Senate confirmation. The source of the controversy was Senator Burton K. Wheeler, a progressive Democrat.

The previous year, Wheeler had launched an investigation to determine why Stone’s predecessor, Attorney General Harry Daugherty, had failed to prosecute government officials implicated in the Teapot Dome oil-leasing scandal. As a result of Wheeler’s probe, Daugherty resigned in March 1924.

After about a month in his new position as attorney general, Stone saw a federal grand jury in Montana indict Senator Wheeler on charges related to the conduct of his private law practice. Seeing the indictment as an effort to discredit his continuing investigation of the Justice Department, Wheeler asked the Senate to examine the charges against him. Following a two-month inquiry and without waiting for the Montana court to dispose of the case, the Senate outright exonerated Wheeler which of course was against the law to interfere in a legal matter of that nature.

The Wheeler case tormented Attorney General Stone for months. Influential friends of Wheeler urged Stone to drop both the Montana case and new information that led Wheeler’s opponents to seek a second indictment. Stone explained that he felt honor-bound to pursue the second indictment. Legally, this was absolutely correct. Stone made it clear that the Senate “is just not the place to determine the guilt or innocence of a man charged with crime.”

On January 24, 1925, five days after the Senate Judiciary Committee had recommended Stone’s confirmation, Senator Thomas Walsh—Wheeler’s Montana colleague and legal counsel, managed to convince the Senate to return the nomination to the committee for further review.

President Coolidge refused to withdraw the nomination. However, this was the background to these Senate appointments to the Supreme Court. It was Coolidge who agreed to an unprecedented compromise. He agreed to allow Stone to become the first Supreme Court nominee in history to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee. On January 28, 1925, Stone’s performance during five hours of public session testimony cleared the way for his confirmation.

Senator Wheeler soon won the acquittal of all charges. Not until 1955, however, did the Senate Judiciary Committee routinely adopt the practice, based on the precedent established by the Stone nomination, of requiring all Supreme Court nominees to appear in person.

Schumer has called this the McConnel Rule because he said the next Supreme Court justice should be chosen by the next president when Scalia died. That was really no such rule and it was not the position of the Constitution – just politics. This illustrates my position that I believe Ben Franklin’s recommendation that appointments to the Supreme Court should be made by the American Bar Association – not politicians.  Ben Franklin wanted to create a legal system based upon the Scottish model where judges were nominated by lawyers and not politicians. He lost that argument and we have been paying dearly ever since.

Kings_Bench_(1808)

Most people assume that the Framers of the Constitution simply relied on the English judicial system. On the contrary, the Scottish judicial system provided an important component, although it remains overlooked even today. The Scottish system was part of the model for the Framing of Article III in crafting the Judiciary. Unlike the English system of overlapping and primarily original jurisdiction with Chancery (Equity) and the King’s Bench (law), the Scottish judiciary featured a hierarchical, appellate-style judiciary, with one supreme civil court sitting at the top and an array of inferior courts of original jurisdiction below.

We, unfortunately, blended Equity and Law into the same court which was a MAJOR mistake, yet the Scottish judiciary operated within a constitutional framework which we adopted. The corruption in the English judiciary was widespread. Charles Dickens wrote in his introduction to Bleak House;

“This is the Court of Chancery ..• Suffer any wrong that can be done you, rather than come here!“

Under the Constitution, Trump should be appointing the next Justice and NOW! What McConnel did before was UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Personally, I believe we should adopt Ben Franklin’s model taken from Scotland. This claim that we should be voting for presidents to twist the law one way or another is in itself WRONG!

There are far too many aspects of the law that are NOT in the Constitution and the number one issue tearing the country apart is IMMUNITY they created for prosecutors and police which takes away any responsibility to act within the law. The abortion issue was founded on the Right to Privacy which is implicitly within the Constitution. However, then there is the definition of life to justify an abortion v murder. It becomes a fine line just as the legal age for sex. There has been a prosecution of an 18-year boy now labeled as a child molester because his girlfriend was under 18 and the father did not like the boy in Texas (see report). Unfortunately, these things tend to be arbitrary and decided by culture. The legal age varies greatly around the world from 12 to 18 with the United States being the highest.

The Ultimate Hypocrisy – Democrats Against Women with Families & Catholic?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law

Re-Posted Sep 27, 2020 by Martin Armstrong
On the one hand, the Democrats are trying to get the Catholic vote arguing that Biden is only the second Catholic to be President after JFK. But then, they oppose Amy Coney Barrett because she is a Catholic and was a professor at Notre Dame Law School before her confirmation to the federal bench. Here is Feinstein who accuses Barrett that her religion will supersede the law. You really can’t have it both ways.

I was raised Catholic, but that never stood in the way of understanding law. I remember when I was just 10 years old my father taking me to Willingboro, New Jersey to see John F. Kennedy in person. I actually met President John F. Kennedy and shook his hand as a kid that day on Oct. 16, 1960, but unlike Bill Clinton, it did not inspire me to become President. I remember as a kid walking around and hearing people bash Kennedy because he was Catholic saying the Pope will run America. There is no doubt that the vast majority of immigrants to America were Protestant and as such the old hatreds rose their head and they will no doubt regarding Amy Coney Barrett.

Former President Harry Truman actually said that Kennedy should withdraw his name for nomination the night before the Democratic Convention. During the 1950s prejudices against Catholics were dominant and were preached by some Protestant ministers.  On October 20, 1951, President Harry Truman nominated former General Mark Clark to be the United States emissary to the Vatican. Clark was forced to withdraw his nomination on January 13, 1952, following protests from Texas Senator Tom Connally and Protestant groups. Mark Clark was baptized Episcopalian and his mother was Jewish. Connally did not want any representative at the Vatican.

Indeed, during the 1960 election Prominent Protestant spokesmen, led by Billy Graham and Norman Vincent Peale, organized Protestant ministers by warning that the Pope would be giving orders to a Kennedy White House. Many established evangelical groups were mobilized.

It is interesting for the extreme left demand the Democrats stop the nomination of the Supreme Court and even call it illegitimate clinging to this conspiracy that Trump was put in office by Putin. The Democrats have little power to actually derail Trump’s pick. Nevertheless, they are applying considerable pressure for the Democrats to be obstructive and use every tactic at their disposal to not just obstruct but to portray the consideration as a farce that shouldn’t even occur. Of course, there is no such precedent for this nonsense, especially when justices do not always vote even party lines – i.e. Chief Justice Roberts.

Now the left is arguing that she should be investigated to see how she adopted two children from Haiti. As I have stated, I have read her work and she is a STRICT CONSTRUCTIONIST which is the best we can hope for. It was Justice Scalia who reform the sentencing procedures were judges were violating the constitution deciding facts that only a jury was authorized to determine. So, this will be interesting. How to bash Barrett for being Catholic while having two black children which shows she is not a racist so they are turning that into something like hiring illegal aliens. They cannot be promoting Biden as only the second Catholic to become president why bashing her because she if Catholic and somehow the Pope will dictate her decisions which never took place with JFK. This is the ultimate paradox.

Biden’s Pre-Debate Prep


Everyone knows Joe Biden is not fit to be president. We’ve all seen him mumble in confusion during public appearances. He’s a gaffe machine. He’s a corrupt, career politician with dementia. Yet the Democrats and their lying mass media continue to pretend he’s perfectly fine—good ol’ Joe.

He sounded relatively sharp for his convention speech, but since then his behavior and speaking ability have been very questionable. I saw him make short speech during a recent and rare campaign appearance and he was barely audible. He fielded no questions. He can barely read a teleprompter correctly. On another occasion he blew up in anger when questioned about his son, Hunter. Uncontrollable anger is also a symptom of dementia.

For next week’s debate with Trump, I expect Sleepy Joe will be charged up with the same drug given to him ahead of his DNC speech. Probably meth, which apparently brightens the otherwise dimming lights of those suffering dementia.

Given Biden’s condition, the Democrats need to drug him up. Their only other alternative is for him to contract some sudden illness—perhaps COVID 19. Or maybe the Democrats no longer care. Why cover up for Joe? Everyone is aware that Biden is not all there, but he doesn’t need to be for a Harris administration.

Grand Theft Election


Everything the Democrats are planning will come to this, a coup attempt. If unsuccessful, a replay of the election of 1860, complete with secession threats, possibly carried out

Grand Theft Election

A theft is in the process of being carried out. It is a crime so insidious, so Machiavellian, it could spell the end of the greatest nation ever conceived, and the rest of the free world will soon follow. It is a coup, a theft of an election, not to rid our country of traitors, but to purge the nation of patriots. Democrats have driven this nation, once again, to a point of division and armed conflict not seen since the Civil War. No person of any intelligence can call this politics as usual.

Democrats decided back in 2016 that they will NOT accept a Trump presidency, elections be damned

Democrats decided back in 2016 that they will NOT accept a Trump presidency, elections be damned. The last four years proves it. Their goal now is to carry out a plan to totally control Congress, the Presidency and the Supreme Court. They will use every weapon at their disposal. It will include a manufactured pandemic, changing voter ID requirements at the 11th hour, court packing, states added to the Union, using former military officers once prominent in the Deep State, employing their useful idiots in Antifa and BLM, Big-Tech censorship of conservative thought, creating fear among the Black community…“They’ll put you back in chains”, the district attorneys carefully placed around the country by George Soros, and the hundreds of lawyers already recruited. They have even conducted ‘war games’ of sort. Some 50 Leftist groups, headed by John Podesta, got together after the 2016 election to devise a post 2020 election scenario to hatch an action plan if the election was close. If allowed to succeed it will be the end of a two-party, free republic, and the birth of a godless, socialist dictatorship. And so, their scheme continues.

The Democrats decided months ago, that they are going to lose this coming election. They nominated a do-nothing pervert, well past his prime, politician of 47 years, with obvious signs of dementia. A corrupt politician who as much as admitted it to anyone who cared to hear it.

The Democrats will attempt to steal this election. Proof? All the top Democrats, including Biden, are saying the Republicans will lie, steal, cheat, and even collude with foreign powers to win the coming election. Democrats always do what they accuse Republicans of doing. It’s a strategy to divert attention from their plotting. Following their accusations makes it easy to stay ahead of them. If you remember, back in early 2016, Clinton’s people said Trump would not accept the results of the election and then they spent the next four years screaming that Trump was not a legitimate president. It’s causing political chaos and now violence. The rioting and bloodshed is being used to screen their movements. And part of their operation is protecting their donors, the rich and famous. Democrats know the middle class is in trouble, that there is tremendous income inequality and they plan to keep it that way.

After a Trump landslide on election night, Biden will not concede. The DNC will not allow it

Protests are building again. BLM is rioting in Louisville, not caring about the facts of the Breonna case. Indoor and outdoor diners are being harassed in major cities, having their food and drinks thrown off the tables surrounded by screams. They are moving into residential neighborhoods, protesting, harassing senators and members of congress in the middle of the night, stealing Trump campaign signs, physically assaulting anyone wearing Trump garb. The Brown Shirts of Nazi Germany and the Black Shirts of Fascist Italy would be proud of them.

After a Trump landslide on election night, Biden will not concede. The DNC will not allow it. The mail-in voting the Democrats wanted so badly will then come into play. They will produce hundreds of thousands of harvested ballots, lawful or unlawful, day after day after the election, to tip the scales in their favor in states they are close to winning. Military ballots have already been found in the trash in Pennsylvania.

Millions will be mobilized to contest an outcome not to their liking while the courts deliberate. If there is no decision by January 20, the Speaker will have to become acting president. The Supreme Court will eventually come into play or possibly the House of Representatives if the Electoral College cannot come to a decision. Whether the House will flip on election day is anyone’s guess. After the plethora of ‘righteous indignation’, further violence will be a certainty.

Democrats have had an obsession of late. They dream of the military dragging Trump out of the White House

What will happen next is right out of any third-world nation coup d’état attempt. They will call in the military, a military Obama carefully purged during his presidency. Any officer that was promoted during his administration has bought into the progressive agenda. This is the great unknown. What will the military do?

Democrats have had an obsession of late. They dream of the military dragging Trump out of the White House. Biden’s recent campaign statement: “The United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House” shows his state of mind.

Everything the Democrats are planning will come to this, a coup attempt. If unsuccessful, a replay of the election of 1860, complete with secession threats, possibly carried out. The first ones coming from California, Oregon and Washington. Then the old question will rear its ugly head, the legality of secession and its aftermath.

Its aftermath, that is another question.
