A quick post here, just to highlight six of Joe Biden's biggest bald-faced lies from the final presidential debate, which ended moments ago on Oct. 22, 2020.
1) Trump has not condemned white supremacists. FALSE: He has, in fact, numerous times.
2) Biden insists he never said he would ban fracking. FALSE: He did, numerous times.
3) Biden said he never called black people "super predators." MOSTLY FALSE: Although technically true, he DID call them "predators" repeatedly. He just didn't add the word "super," as Hillary Clinton infamously did.
4) Biden claimed he and his family never got money from China: FALSE
5) Biden said he never called Trump "xenophobic" for COVID-related travel bans. FALSE.

The latest, today, comes from the Lefties in response to Pres. Trump having the nerve to stand on a White House balcony and (gasp!) salute the American people.
In the sick, bizarro minds of those people, that make him evil.
Why Mussolini, you may ask? Simple. Some feeble-minded liberals found photos of Mussolini speaking from various balconies.
So naturally, in their universe, this makes him just like Mussolini, a dictator, a strong man. Only a mentally ill person, or one with an IQ below 80, could believe that correlation. But I think I just described millions of Democrat voters. No?In the past, I (and others) have responded to absurd comparisons of Trump to Hitler by mockingly pointing out that both Hitler and Biden ate food, therefore they're the same in mind and spirit.
That's ridiculous, of course, and it was meant to poke fun at the idiocy of the Left's thinking.
But here we are today, with the Left actually making a comparison just as absurd and believing it in their hollow hearts.
The difference between them comparing Trump to Mussolini because both have stood on balconies and my Hitler-food-Obama satire is simple: The Left actually believes this nonsense.
Sean Davis and Mollie Hemingway, two fine investigative
journalists, filed this amazing report that was
published by The Federalist on September 24:
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents tasked
by fired former Director James Comey to take down
Donald Trump during and after the 2016
election
were so concerned about the agency’s potentially
illegal behavior that they purchased liability
insurance to protect themselves less than two weeks
before Trump was inaugurated president, previously
hidden FBI text messages show. The explosive new
communications and internal FBI notes were
disclosed in federal court filings today
from Sidney Powell, the attorney who heads Michael
Flynn’s legal defense team.
“[W]e all went and purchased professional liability
insurance,” one agent texted on Jan. 10, 2017, the same
day
CNN leaked details
that then-President-elect Trump had been briefed by
Comey about the bogus Christopher Steele dossier. That
briefing of Trump was
used as a pretext to legitimize the debunked
dossier, which was funded by the Democratic National Committee
and the Clinton campaign and compiled by a foreign
intelligence officer who was working for a sanctioned
Russian oligarch.
“Holy crap,” an agent responded. “All the analysts
too?”
“Yep,” the first agent said. “All the folks at the
Agency as well.”
Democrat Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. As such, she is third in the line of succession for the Presidency. She's a politically powerful woman, and she lives in what could be called a literally shitty city.
San Francisco is Pelosi's home, and it has become legendary for the vast quantity of human feces strewn along its streets.
The city has a huge number of homeless people, many of whom are mentally ill. Many of them frequently poop on sidewalks and other public spaces. In October 2018 San Francisco was named the "Poop Capital of the U.S.," and the problem has only continued to get worse.
Which brings us to the wonderfully-titled video, "Nancy Pelosi vs The 'Sh%tposting' Crapper Bandit." Done by "Felix Rex" (one of my favorite YouTubers), the video examines what I'll call a "protest poop" laid down on Nancy Pelosi's driveway.
Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. On Saturday, Sept. 12, a live-streamer called "Armando" set up his camera across from Pelosi's house, then strategically squatted in her driveway.

Joe Biden - and thousands upon thousands of others on the Left - keep repeating a heinous lie about President Donald Trump.
Never missing a chance to call someone a racist, even if they are not, Biden and his Democrat Party comrades have continued to spread the falsehood that Trump called the neo-Nazis and White supremacists in the Charlottesville clashes "very fine people."
In fact, Trump specifically and explicitly said that they "should be condemned totally."
Despite the easy availability of video showing Trump saying exactly that, ignorant Leftists swallow the lie that is deliberately spread by Democrat politicians - even by those who know that it's false.
WATCH and hear for yourself what Trump really said:
People wanted this video with no music. Here ya go.

"The veins bulging from his head?" What? Update, Sept. 6: This video from Don't Walk, Run! Productions, posted Sept. 3, breaks down the Left's lies about Charlottesville nicely:
Despite this, liberal politicians and ordinary everyday liberal idiots have embraced the falsehood and continue to spread it to other, equally stupid liberals. And of course, much of the media is complicit.
In fact, many media outlets let Joe Biden get away with launching his presidential campaign with the Charlottesville lie as a supporting pillar.
A year and a half afterthe Charlottesville clashes, and after Trump condemned the neo-Nazis and White supremacists, Biden continues with the lie.
Consider this opinion piece by James S. Robbins in USA Today on April 26, 2019 (emphasis added):
....former Vice President Joe Biden announced his run for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. He came out of the gate hard, citing the tragic August 2017 clash at Emancipation Park in Charlottesville between right- and left-wing demonstrators that left three dead and 38 injured. “That’s when we heard the words from the president of the United States that stunned the world and shocked the conscience of this nation,” Biden intoned, that there were “some very fine people on both sides.” Biden said that Trump “assigned a moral equivalence between those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it,” and that in this moment Biden concluded “we are in a battle for the soul of the nation.”
Taken out of context, the “fine people” quote does look troubling, but Trump’s critics never tell the whole truth. The statement came from an August 15, 2017 press availability, in which the president was engaged in a spirited discussion with journalists over the broader implications of the Charlottesville street clash. Check the transcript.
The relevant portion of the transcript is faithfully reproduced in the Robbins column, which ends with this:
For Joe Biden in particular, exploiting the Charlottesville myth is a way to head-off other racially-charged issues, like his Anita Hill problem, his 1994 crime bill problem, his school desegregation problem, and his simply being an old white guy problem.
But Democrats would do better to focus on countering the rising tide of antisemitism in their own ranks rather than repeating the false and defamatory Charlottesville narrative.
Otherwise they will be losing the votes of a lot of very fine people.
Is Joe Biden running his own campaign? Is he mentally fit? If so, it would be rational to conclude that he knows he's lying about Trump's Charlottesville statement. If Biden sincerely believes that Trump called them"very fine people," then it's also rational to conclude that Biden is utterly incompetent.
Biden is a serial liar, and the nation knew this decades ago. Want proof? Watch this:
I'll leave you with this video from ABC News, in which Trump (at 1:18) makes it very clear that he does not approve of the behavior of White supremacists or neo-Nazis:
The city council cowards punted, voting to refer the resolution to the Committee on Public Safety.
Chicago City Council held a special meeting on Friday, days after four alderman called for such a meeting to ask the governor to declare a state of emergency over recent violence and looting - a proposal the mayor previously said was "grandstanding" before apparently reversing course.
Four Chicago aldermen on Wednesday called for a special meeting of the City Council to consider a resolution asking Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker to declare a state of emergency and deploy the Illinois National Guard to the city over recent unrest.
Alds. Leslie Hairston, Anthony Beale, Raymond Lopez and Anthony Napolitano issued the call in a letter to Chicago City Clerk Anna Valencia. (from NBC5 Chicago)
Does Mayor Lightfoot even care about Chicago?
Mayor Lori Lightfoot accused the aldermen of "grandstanding." But after months of violence and destruction, is it really that? Or, more likely, is it a genuine attempt to get badly needed help?
"I implore each and every one of you. This is not personal. This is not grandstanding. This is a Hail Mary to save our community from the things that are happening every single day,” Alderman Beale said before the vote.
Mayor Lightfoot attacked the notion of bringing in National Guard troops. She recalled to the council the Kent State University shootings in May of 1970, where National Guard troops killed four students during a protest. But Lightfoot's analogy to Kent State is flawed: The Kent State students were not looting, rioting, or committing aggravated assaults on people. Some windows were broken, but it was nothing like what Chicago has suffered for months now.
"A group of Chicago City Council members requested that Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker immediately declare a state of emergency in Chicago and deploy the national guard in light of ongoing rioting and looting in the city." (from Daily Caller)
Lightfoot continues to refuse such action. Is this out of pure political stubbornness or some deep-seated hatred of her own city?
Chicago is a city under siege — from within. It breaks my heart to say it, but the majority of Chicagoans have made this possible by decades of voting for Democrats. Most of the City Council members have been more interested in buying votes with corrupt TIF money giveaways and being "liberal" and soft on crime, and now the proverbial chickens have come home to roost.
Rioting, mass looting, and wanton violence are the specters hovering over the city. This weekend, the so-far-ineffectual mayor Lori Lightfoot has ordered a 9:00 PM curfew
On Monday, August 10 there was an "orchestrated" invasion of the city's Magnificent Mile, which is a mixed neighborhood of residential and commercial buildings. Much of it is within the zip code 60611, one of the nation's wealthiest. The "Mag Mile" is a strip of North Michigan Avenue that runs north from the Chicago River up to Oak Street Beach. Between N. Michigan Aven and Lake Michigan, a few blocks east is a neighborhood called "Streeterville." The greater Mag Mile area has been a major attraction for locals and international tourists for many years.
After the events of a week ago, however, businesses are hurt and many may never fully recover. Some businesses were badly damaged. Some have "merely" lost business. People who have enjoyed going into the Mag Mile district for years are now reluctant, afraid that violence could suddenly pop up out of nowhere like a summer storm in South Texas.
Much of the blame falls squarely in the laps of city and county officials, all well-entrenched Democrats. City Journal sums it up (my emphasis added):
The sacking of Chicago’s North Side was more than a tactical failure. For months, key officials—the state’s attorney responsible for prosecution, the mayor, and the governor—have failed to condemn criminals sufficiently or act with necessary force against such violence. They have contributed to a culture of impunity that tolerates mobs and hoodlums.
Kim Foxx, the state’s attorney for Cook County, has already become nationally notorious for refusing to prosecute Jussie Smollett, the actor who lied to the police that he was a victim of racial violence. But her offenses against public order are far worse than her condoning of a provocateur who tried to fracture the city with a falsehood. Foxx has dismissed felony cases brought by the police at a rate 35 percent higher than her predecessor. She raised the threshold for felony shoplifting from $300 to $1,000—and as a result, thieves steal brazenly in broad daylight as well as under cover of darkness. Chicago police chief David Brown suggested that Foxx’s failure to prosecute looters from the previous sacking of the city in June was partly responsible for emboldening the current round of looting.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot is also responsible. She has hardly been enforcing a zero-tolerance policy against lawless mobs. (Full article here)
The mayor, indeed the city, needs help from beyond its own ranks. It has been clearly demonstrated that they cannot protect the safety of residents and businesses without such help, yet Mayor Lightfoot has refused to ask for assistance from the federal or even from the Illinois National Guard. Such reinforcements could greatly help her police force to really get the situation under control.
Instead, Mayor Lightfoot makes speeches and decrees that will solve nothing.
Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot desperately wants the world to believe that she has the situation in her city under control and that she doesn't need help from the federal government - nor would she ever need it from President Trump.
But while she puts that facade on during interviews and press conferences with national media, the reality of constant looting, rioting and crime in Chicago continues to unfold; as do its consequences.
For example, this weekend, the city will shut down its Central Business District overnight, effective at 9PM each night. The decision comes "in the wake of looting and unrest downtown, on the Magnificent Mile, and in Streeterville, River North, and the area near North and Sheffield avenues," according to CBS Chicago.
Durden detailed the specifics of what-and-where the shutdown would affect, such as river bridges being up to block traffic, blocking part of Lake Shore Drive, ramps on expressways, and interruptions of bus and train service to the area. This, however, is not exactly new: It is an extension of Lightfoot's virtual shutdown of the area.
On August 13, the Chicago Loop Alliance published this advisory:
Through Monday, August 17, at 6 a.m., access to the downtown area will be temporarily restricted from 9 p.m.–6 a.m. The restricted access to the downtown area is NOT a curfew. All residents, workers and employers whose businesses are located downtown will have access at all times. (Read full statement here)
The City of Chicago published this notice on August 12:
Restricted Access to Downtown will continue tonight and through the Weekend from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.–ending at 6 a.m. on Monday, August 17 (Read full statement here)
Rather than increasing police patrols or bringing in additional law enforcement personnel, Lightfoot has effectively surrendered to the chaos. The Mag Mile, along with the adjacent downtown "Loop," River North and River West are areas in which restaurants, bars and theaters are normally open until well after midnight. Stunting their business additionally will help nobody.
You can bet the police are not happy with Lightfoot. On August 12, the police union's president John Catanzara urged tougher measures. He suggested bringing in tow trucks to haul looters' cars away, thereby taking away their ability to escape arrest. Caravans of cars were seen bringing people into the Mag Mile to loot on August 10.
“Car caravans are the biggest problem. They can relocate all of their criminal behavior two miles away within five minutes. We can’t deploy 400 officers two miles away in that same amount of time. They can go where the police are not in a split second. By the time we show up there, we get the stragglers when the main force has already moved on to the next target,” Catanzara said Wednesday.
