Biden's speech about Supreme Court appointments is appalling
Biden finally emerged to eulogize Justice Ginsburg for three minutes and then gave a disturbing political speech. The many gaffes are noteworthy because they speak to his declining intelligence, but it was the speech's content that should worry Americans. His handlers wrote a speech that rejects the constitutional balance of power, denies this summer's violence, and openly lies.
When the speech opens with a long shot, Biden and no visible teleprompters. During those first 20 seconds, he sounds weak and tentative. Then the camera tightens on his face, and he perks up. It's obvious that he now has a teleprompter from which to read:
When Biden reads a longish quotation from Lindsey Graham in 2016, about Supreme Court nominations in election years, Biden reads the instruction — "Quote verbatim" and "Continue the quote" — and then leans forward and squints to read the text still scrolling before him:
Incidentally, Sen. Graham has since walked back that language. The savagery of the Democrats' attack on Justice Kavanaugh in 2018 showed him that Democrats don't play by the rules. "After [Brett] Kavanaugh," he said, "the rules have changed as far as I'm concerned."
Biden misreads the teleprompter, saying that by the time he ended his speech, 200,000,000 Americans (60% of the population) would have died from the Wuhan virus:
There's another teleprompter stumble when Biden talks about the "challenging climate" before correcting himself to "changing climate." Listen to Biden stumble and slur his way to that misreading:
Biden is frail and shows declining mental competence. He's always been an empty vessel, which is why he deliberately plagiarized others. Now, though, he's an empty vessel who reads whatever words float by him on the screen. He is Ron Burgundy (language warning):
Biden has a constitutionally dangerous vision of the relationship between the Supreme Court and Congress. When Biden goes through the laundry list of all that's at stake if he's denied the chance to nominate the next justice, everything he lists is something the Legislature should be addressing. Biden and his handlers want the Supreme Court to function as a "super-legislature," staffed with people who are unaccountable to the voters and who will impose their leftist vision on issues that the American people refused to allow Congress to pass:
Biden also repeatedly argues that people who choose to use early voting will be deprived of their right to have a say about the Republicans' choices over the coming week, effectively depriving them of their constitutional rights to have full information when they vote. However, early voters chose — and are still choosing — to risk that later events could make them regret their choice.
And then there are the many substantive lies: Biden dishonestly asserts that Sen. Mitch McConnell lied in 2016 when he said Biden had claimed in the past that there should be no nomination to the court in an election year:
That's a lie. On June 25, 1992, Biden said in the Senate, "President Bush should consider following the practice of a majority of his predecessors and not, and not name a nominee until after the November election is completed." He added that the Senate Judiciary Committee should "seriously consider not scheduling confirmations hearings on the nomination until after the political campaign season is over."
Biden also lied about the "McConnell Rule." According to Biden, McConnell said no Senate hearings should take place in election years, making McConnell a hypocrite today:
The truth is that McConnell said that there should be no nominations when the White House and the Senate represent two different parties, which shows that the American people have not given a mandate to either party.
You can disagree with the McConnell rule, which was previously known as the Biden rule, but you should describe it accurately. It's no confirmations in a presidential election year *when senate and presidency are held by different parties.* Doesn't apply this year.

In 2018, after the appalling Kavanaugh hearing, Trump made judicial appointments one of the centerpieces of his campaign. Americans gave the House to the Democrats but maintained a Republican Senate. This showed that they wanted Republicans to be responsible for judicial appointments until the end of the Senate term in January.
Biden lied when he said the Trump campaign asked him for a list of potential Supreme Court nominees only after Ginsburg died. Even CNN says, "This is just wrong." CNN also acknowledges that Biden got it wrong when he said the Supreme Court would not be in session until after the election. The court session begins on October 5.
Biden said that Trump's and the Republicans' abuse of power needs to be de-escalated and that we need to cool the flames that have engulfed the country. It's as if he is unaware that, since May 26, Black Lives Matter, which is the Democrat party's Marxist ideological arm, and Antifa, which is its anarchist paramilitary wing, have terrorized the country with riots, looting, burning; shooting; and perhaps, via a Canadian comrade, attempting to assassinate President Trump:
Things that were already (apparently) on the table:

1. Shooting up GOP baseball games
2. Allowing supporters to burn cities.
3. Staging coups against democratically elected president.
4. FBI collusion/perjury traps.
5. Leaking classified information.
For 23 minutes, Biden gave a speech that is a microcosm of everything he and the Democrat party represent. Biden is a mindless puppet, reading exhortations from a screen. The words his handlers wrote for him are dishonest and delusional, and, worst of all, they reject the constitutional balance of power. The speech is open about the fact that the Democrats see the court — nine unelected left-wing individuals — making the laws that the people's Congress will not.

Fact Check: Joe Biden Pretends He Never Promised a SCOTUS List
CLAIM: Joe Biden suggested Sunday that he never promised to release his list of potential Supreme Court nominees.
VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. In June, Biden promised a list, though he gave no specific date for releasing it.
Former Vice President Joe Biden gave a speech Sunday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, attacking Republicans for suggesting they would confirm a new Supreme Court justice to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the next presidential term.
Along the way, Biden falsely claimed that the Supreme Court was not even planning a session before the election. He also pushed back on the idea that he would need to release a list of potential nominees, as President Donald Trump did in 2016, and as he did again earlier this month.
Biden suggested that the very idea he would release a list was absurd:
We can’t keep rewriting history, scrambling norms, ignoring our cherished system of checks and balances. That includes this whole business of releasing a list of potential nominees that I would put forward. They’re now saying, after Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away, they said, “Biden should release his list.” It’s no wonder the Trump campaign asked that I release the list only after she passed away. It’s a game for them. It’s a play to gin up emotions and anger.
It is a flat-out lie for Biden to claim that Trump only asked him to release his list after Ginsburg died. The Trump campaign has been doing so for months. Earlier this month, for example, Trump said: “Joe Biden has refused to release his list, perhaps because he knows the names are so extremely far left that they could never withstand public scrutiny or receive acceptance.”
Trump said the same thing in June:
President @RealDonaldTrump: Joe Biden's list of Supreme Court nominees is too radical!

Later in June, Biden himself said that he was working on a list of potential Supreme Court nominees — consisting solely of African American women — and said he would release it, eventually: “We are putting together a list of African American women who are qualified and have the experience to be on the court. I am not going to release that until we go further down the line in vetting them as well.”
The Associated Press reported on June 30: “Biden team putting together list of Black female court picks.”

On Sunday, he appeared to dismiss the idea of releasing such a list, arguing that doing so could influence a judge’s decisions, and that it would expose anyone on the list to political attacks. He said he would “consult” instead with both political parties:
There’s a reason why no presidential candidate, other than Donald Trump, has ever done such a thing [release a list]. First, putting a judge’s name on a list like that could influence that person’s decisionmaking as a judge, and that would be wrong, or at least create the perception that it would have influence. Second, anyone put on a list like that under these circumstances will be subject to unrelenting political attacks. Because any nominee I would select would not get a hearing until 2021 at the earliest, she would endure those attacks for months on end, without being able to defend herself. Thirdly, and finally, perhaps most importantly, if I win, I’ll make my choice for the Supreme Court not based on a partisan election campaign, but on what prior presidents have done, Republican and Democrats, and I’ve served with many of them.
Whatever the merits of these arguments, the fact is that Biden suggested he would release a list, and now says the opposite.
This claim would be rated entirely false, but for the fact that Biden did not make a specific commitment about a specific date.

Get Ready for President Kamala Harris and Vice President Nancy Pelosi
It's time for President Trump to start telling the raw truth to the American people. He knows it. I know it. Most voters who don't suffer from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" know it. Anyone with a brain and common sense knows it.
If you think your choice in this election is Donald Trump versus Joe Biden, you're blind, deaf or really dumb. Biden's not the candidate. Biden is just a placeholder, a brand name at the top to scam voters. But he will never serve as the actual president. Who's dumb enough to not see that?
The real behind-the-scenes winners will be Kamala Harris as president and Nancy Pelosi as vice president. Add in the infamous radical Commie Squad as the Cabinet. That's who's really running the Democratic Party nowadays: Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And don't forget former President Barack Obama and Rep. Maxine Waters for the Supreme Court.
That's the team you're really voting for when you vote for Biden: two California crazies and a bunch of commies (literally).
But it's certainly not Biden. Even Biden knows it. He spilled the beans just days ago. He called it "the Harris-Biden administration" while talking to the press. Can you imagine? Even the presidential candidate knows deep down he's not going to be the actual president.
Days ago, Harris spilled the beans by mistake, too. She was talking to the press and called it "the Harris administration." Has any VP candidate in history ever made this mistake? Did Dan Quayle forget George H.W. Bush and call it "the Quayle administration?" Did Al Gore forget Bill Clinton and call it "the Gore administration?" Did Joe Biden forget Barack Obama and call it "the Biden administration?" Of course not.
Joe Biden, the actual presidential candidate, and Kamala Harris, the VP candidate, both forgot Joe Biden was the candidate. Think about that for a minute. It's either temporary insanity or conspiracy.
Poor Joe clearly has signs of dementia. He's very old, feeble, mumbling and bumbling, at times incoherent. He can't string three good sentences together. He hides in his basement with a mask. Since Labor Day, President Trump has held rallies in front of 62,000 Americans, versus Biden, who has spoken in front of 64, mostly members of the media.
But don't worry about Biden. No need to ever mention him again. He's just the placeholder. He'll be president in name only.
With a President Kamala Harris and Vice President Nancy Pelosi running the show, there is no debate, no question, on what you'll get: THE END OF AMERICA.
And, of course, the end of the Republican Party.
Nothing should scare Middle America and independent voters more than a country run by two radical, extreme California socialists who turned California into a real-life "Nightmare on Elm Street" with rampant crime; an economy still closed down for COVID-19; the most welfare recipients and homeless in America; millions and millions of illegal aliens protected in a sanctuary state; streets littered with drug needles, poop and pee; and the highest taxes in America.
Here's what you can expect from President Harris and Vice President Pelosi. They will open the borders like never before in history. They will defund and disband Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They will offer free health care to everyone in the world. Soon there will be 300 million, 600 million, even a billion new arrivals at our borders.
And since we're offering free health care, it's guaranteed many of them will be sick and stick American taxpayers with the enormous bill. Not just pregnancy, cancer, heart disease, diabetes or COVID-19 bills, by the way. They'll expect hundreds of thousands of free $150,000 surgeries for transgender people.
You -- taxpayers who never had anything to do with slavery -- will have to pay trillions of dollars in reparations to people who were never slaves.
Voting will be mail-in forevermore, with no ID required. Illegal aliens will officially receive the right to vote. The Electoral College will be canceled. The Supreme Court will double in size, and nine new liberal judges will be added.
And we'll quickly add two new states: Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., along with four new Democratic senators. The Senate will have a Democratic majority for life.
Your suburban life will be destroyed with forced low-income, high-density government housing. Say hello to the streets of Chicago.
And capitalism will be destroyed once and for all, with massive tax increases, draconian regulations, $90 trillion spent on the Green New Deal and trillions more spent on free "Medicare for All."
That's America under President Kamala Harris (whose voting record in the Senate is to the left of crazy socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders), Vice President Nancy Pelosi, the Commie Squad as the Cabinet and Justices Obama and Mad Maxine.
And what about Biden? He'll spend weekdays hiding in the White House basement. And weekends in his Delaware basement. You'll never see him or hear from him again.

Book Description: The #1 New York Times bestselling author and firebrand syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin sets her sights on the corrupt businessmen, politicians, and lobbyists flooding our borders and selling out America’s best and brightest workers.
In Sold Out, Michelle Malkin and John Miano reveal the worst perpetrators screwing America’s high-skilled workers, how and why they’re doing it—and what we must do to stop them. In this book, they will name names and expose the lies of those who pretend to champion the middle class, while aiding and abetting massive layoffs of highly skilled American workers in favor of cheap foreign labor. Malkin and Miano will explode some of the most commonly told myths spread in the media like these:
Lie #1: America is suffering from an apocalyptic “shortage” of science, technology, engineering, and math workers.
Lie #2: US companies cannot function without an unlimited injection of the most “highly skilled” and “highly educated” foreign workers, who offer intellectual capital and entrepreneurial energy that American workers can’t match.
Lie #3: America’s best and brightest talents are protected because employers are required to demonstrate that they’ve made every effort to hire American citizens before resorting to foreign labor.
For too long, open-borders tech billionaires and their political
enablers have escaped tough public scrutiny of their means and motives. Sold Out is an indictment of not only political corruption in Washington, but also the journalistic malpractice that enables it.It’s time to trade the whitewash for solvent. American workers deserve better and the public deserves the unvarnished truth.
Tech Elites Endorse Joe Biden to Secure More Foreign Workers for U.S. Jobs
20 Sep 202021
3:23
Tech industry elites have endorsed Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden, citing their opposition to President Trump’s efforts to prioritize Americans for high-paying tech jobs in the United States.
Twenty-four winners of the Turing Award, considered the Nobel Peace Prize for computer science, have endorsed Biden on the premise that the former vice president will allow the tech industry to import more foreign workers, specifically those on H-1B visas, to fill coveted U.S. jobs.
The list includes Google executive Vinton Cerf, Pixar executive Ed Catmull, Facebook executive Yann LeCun, and Alphabet executive John Hennessy.
“Information technology is thoroughly globalized. Academic computer science departments attract talented students, many of whom immigrate and become American inventors and captains of industry,” the executives and industry insiders wrote in their endorsement of Biden:
We celebrate open source projects, the lifeblood of our field, as exemplars of international collaboration. Computer Science is at its best when its learnings and discoveries are shared freely in the spirit of progress. These core values helped make America a leader in information technology, so vital in this Information Age. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris listen to experts before setting public policy, essential when science and technology may help with many problems facing our nation today. As American computer scientists and as US citizens, we enthusiastically endorse Joe Biden for President and Kamala Harris for Vice President. [Emphasis added]
Since mass unemployment hit the U.S., spurred by the Chinese coronavirus crisis, Trump signed an executive order halting a number of visa programs including the H-1B visa. Likewise, the Trump administration is eyeing H-1B visa reforms that would more effectively weed out the business model of outsourcing that has allowed American workers to be replaced by foreign H-1B visa workers.
In August, billion dollar tech corporations such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Twitter signed onto a U.S. Chamber of Commerce lawsuit against Trump’s executive order — arguing that they have a right to import foreign workers to fill U.S. jobs.
Unlike Trump, Biden has promised to increase the number of foreign H-1B visa workers that tech corporations will be able to import every year. The practice is a boon to tech executives.
There are about 650,000 H-1B visa workers in the U.S. at any given moment. Americans are often laid off in the process and forced to train their foreign replacements, as highlighted by Breitbart News. More than 85,000 Americans annually potentially lose their jobs to foreign labor through the H-1B visa program.
Analysis conducted in 2018 discovered that 71 percent of tech workers in Silicon Valley, California, are foreign-born, while the tech industry in the San Francisco, Oakland, and Hayward area is made up of 50 percent foreign-born tech workers. Up to 99 percent of H-1B visa workers imported by the top eight outsourcing firms are from India.
