President Trump Shares a Tarmac Debate Prep Session – Video and Transcript…

The new White House communications group is making a big mistake by delaying the uploads of the impromptu pressers.  The problem started about two weeks ago, and has continued to worsen.  This recent example was from yesterday and took 28 hrs to surface.

In this tarmac presser President Trump outlines how the impromptu pressers are part of his debate prep.  He then gives a real-time example.  WATCH:

[Transcript] –  THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. You know our senator. You know our governor. They’re great — both of them. And they’re doing a terrific job.

Steve Bannon Discusses Biden Scandal and Upcoming Debate With Maria Bartiromo…

“Sloppy Steve” should always be taken with the proverbial grain-of-salt due to his self-serving internal compass.  However, that said, sometimes his insight can be complimentary to the larger picture.

Bannon believes that President Trump will focus heavily on Joe Biden’s pay-to-play scandal during the debate this upcoming Thursday.  The media approach to the Biden scandal has been to call it “Russian disinformation,” but the American electorate are not naive to the simple structure of Biden’s family being paid to influence U.S. policy.

It Begins – DOJ Files Antitrust Lawsuit Against Google Inc…

Of all the seismic events surrounding the architecture of the deep state, the mechanisms within the swamp and the universe that surrounds all of the ancillary aspects we have come to categorize under names such as “Obamagate”, “Spygate”, “FISAgate” and the surveillance state writ large, none are as universally important as this one.

In the most significant measure this foundation is the “there” in the phrase: “there are trillions at stake.”  This is the substrate that holds the swamp in place.  It was not coincidental the Big Tech conglomeration was the first and primary focus of Obama’s Chicago network.  The downstream consequences cannot be overstated.

The DOJ has filed the class action lawsuit against Google Inc [pdf here], and while Google, and their subsidiaries (YouTube etc) are the secondary targets don’t think for a second that this does not touch on every single aspect of the ancillary technology monopoly; that includes social media platforms.

In short, this is a big effen deal.

FROM THE DOJ – Today, the Department of Justice — along with eleven state Attorneys General — filed a civil antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to stop Google from unlawfully maintaining monopolies through anticompetitive and exclusionary practices in the search and search advertising markets and to remedy the competitive harms. The participating state Attorneys General offices represent Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, South Carolina, and Texas.

“Today, millions of Americans rely on the Internet and online platforms for their daily lives.  Competition in this industry is vitally important, which is why today’s challenge against Google — the gatekeeper of the Internet — for violating antitrust laws is a monumental case both for the Department of Justice and for the American people,” said Attorney General William Barr.

“Since my confirmation, I have prioritized the Department’s review of online market-leading platforms to ensure that our technology industries remain competitive.  This lawsuit strikes at the heart of Google’s grip over the internet for millions of American consumers, advertisers, small businesses and entrepreneurs beholden to an unlawful monopolist.”

President Trump Supports an Independent Special Counsel to Investigate Foreign Payments to Biden Family…

Earlier this morning President Trump called-in to Fox News for an interview on several topics. During a part of the interview President Trump draws a comparison between confirmed evidence of Hunter Biden selling influence with false accusations of Donald Trump Jr. selling influence.

President Trump discusses the upcoming debate and outlines his support for an independent special counsel to investigate how payments to Hunter by several foreign governments were constructed as a back-door process to purchase action from Joe Biden.

.

Given the factual, demonstrable and clearly evidenced institutional biases within the DOJ and FBI, how exactly is a special counsel supposed to be appointed and operated?

Accepting the traditional nature of the approach; yet overlaying the known corruption within the DC institutions; any investigation seems rather futile.

Presidential Debate Commission Will Mute Mics During Final Debate…

In yet another transparent effort to support Joe Biden, the presidential debate commission has announced they will mute microphones during the two minute answer sessions as part of a strategy to assist the promotion of disinformation.

(Via New York Post) The Commission on Presidential Debates has decided to mute microphones to allow each candidate the opportunity for uninterrupted remarks during this week’s final forum.

The mute button will be featured at the start of each 15-minute segment during opening comments, according to the commission. After that time, both mics will be turned on without a mute option to enable debate. (read more)

Dobbs, Powell, Fitton and Solomon Discuss Hunter and Joe Biden Payback Schemes…

I tend to find myself in agreement with the Tom Fitton parts of this interview.

Lou Dobbs, Sidney Powell, Tom Fitton and John Solomon appear together to discuss the latest developments in the Hunter/Joe Biden pay-to-play scandals.

.

Considering everything that is known by intelligence people how did Joe Biden pass his recent classified intelligence background check? Oh wait, yes, the FBI is in charge of those screenings. That would be the same FBI that has been in possession of the Hunter Biden laptop since December 2019.  Please ignore these pesky little details…
