Turn the Tables on Biden in the Debate

 In the Presidential Debate tonight, President Trump should turn the tables on Joe Biden.

 Do you remember the ridiculous question in the first debate asking Trump to denounce White Supremacy groups as if there were any doubt on his position? Trump has denounced them consistently and clearly. In fact, the question should have been directed at Joe Biden who has worked closely with KKK leader Robert Byrd in the Senate as well as other White Supremacists and regularly uses bigoted language. Trump, when he inevitably gets a question like that should not even answer it. Instead, he should point to his consistent record against racism, admonish the moderator for being sloppy by not referencing those statements, and tell the moderator he should be asking Joe Biden that question. Mention Joe Biden’s friendships with KKK and other racist senators. Reference Joe’s language such as “whether you are poor or white” and “there is little diversity in the black community” with respect to culture and political views. Trump needs to get even – not get angry. He needs to encourage Joe Biden to get more talking time to trip up, and then make a brief, calm, factual statement indicating how Joe Biden lied in his response and can’t be taken seriously.

The biggest issue, though, that has come up since the first debate is the evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption found on Hunter Biden’s computer. Joe Biden has not addressed the issue directly and has called the New York Post story about this a smear. He is counting on a friendly media including Twitter and Facebook to help suppress the story and spread disinformation about it being false. Trump should be ready to call Biden on this very strongly. He should have an affidavit ready for Trump to sign with a Notary Public standing by to officiate that asserts the following points under penalty of perjury:

Joe Biden affirms the following subject to penalties for perjury:

  1. There is no credible evidence that the computer in question referenced by the recent New York Post article turned in by the computer repair store owner belonged to Hunter Biden or was assigned to Hunter Biden by an organization he was associated with.

  2. All information on the computer concerning possible corruption, financial transactions with foreign organizations, and video files were not Hunter Biden’s data and were somehow planted.

  3. Joe Biden never met with foreign officials from any business or government while serving as a public official based on a request or urging of Hunter Biden when Hunter Biden was receiving financial compensation from that party.

  4. Joe Biden promises to the people of the United States and to the governments of the United States and all the states of the union that, if he is shown to be wrong in this statement, he acknowledges that he either deliberately lied or is insufficiently able to ascertain truth which makes him unfit to seek or hold any public office and will immediately stop seeking public office and immediately resign from any he holds.

Then he should push Joe Biden to sign the statement just as Joe Biden pushed President Trump to denounce the Proud Boys.

The statement and notary public should be right there so Biden can be asked to sign immediately. If he refuses, Trump and everyone else can dismiss Biden’s claims that the Hunter Biden computer story is a smear. If Biden does sign the affidavit, Trump should have a US Attorney on hand to demand Joe Biden come to his office for an interview the following day based on credible evidence already available that Joe Biden committed perjury.

It is time to play hardball with a corrupt, lying Joe Biden. Trump needs to get past the protection the media gives Biden. However, he must do so in an even tempered way without yelling or interrupting. Trump needs to let the facts speak for themselves and let Biden get tangled up in lies trying to avoid the facts. Trump needs to keep himself from being the issue and let Biden get most of the attention. Trump needs to make Biden’s corruption the issue and let Biden’s faults have the limelight in the debate. Trump can take the limelight back next week with press conferences and rallies, but he should let Biden’s defects percolate with the voters for a few days.

TSA Employees Finally Getting Paid What They are Worth

The government shutdown has caused TSA employees to not get paid. Considering that they provide negative overall value to the nation and travelers, they are still technically getting over paid. However, getting them to pay travelers is not feasible. They generally provide very little protection for the inconvenience and humiliation they inflict on travelers. The real security in an airplane cabin is a secure cockpit and passengers who will fight hijackers to the death now that we know what they are up to. I'm also still waiting to hear a good explanation of why banning pocket knives from aircraft and other great TSA ideas enhances our security. Basic TSA-Pre screening without those ridiculously expensive scanners (also known as what was done before 9-11) is also perfectly adequate. The Huffington Post has a whiny article about the TSA employees not getting paid. Of course, all government employees including those not actually showing up for work will get back pay once the approp...

Freedom is Endangered

Of the two major political parties, the Republican Party is the one closest to advocating for freedom from government control. Democrats consistently support higher taxes and more regulations to permit government officials to control our lives. They support political (group) decision making over empowering individuals to make their own decisions. We have come to expect Democrats to support increasing the power of government at the expense of individual freedom. It is sad and dangerous, though, when Republicans support government power over individual freedom. If the Republican Party is not strong in its stand for freedom and individual rights against the power of government, then our Republic is in danger of deteriorating into a (we hope benevolent) despotism because people distrust or forbid individuals to run their own lives make their own decisions. Over the past few years, I have encountered Republicans who believe these things: The food school children eat should be controlled by ...

GOP Must Make Stand for Election Integrity

 The Presidential election will officially be over when the January 6, 2021 session of Congress to count electoral votes is concluded. Many key Republican elected officials have been a major disappointment in this election cycle. This includes legislators, governors, and secretaries of state. Republican legislatures in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin failed to take strong action to appoint the Trump/Pence slate of electors and negate the appointment of Biden/Harris electors on the grounds of unlawfully implemented voting regulations or outright election fraud. Any honest count of the legitimate votes in those states would have given the election to Trump in every one of them. Other elected officials such as Governor Doug Ducey of Arizona, Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia, and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger of Georgia presided over, tolerated, and certified Democrats stealing the presidential election right under their noses. President Trump failed ...
