Wow. Today’s @nypost story on Joe Biden’s corruption is a monster. Many witnesses to a crime against our Country. This isn’t going away. Even the Lamestream Media is starting to say it must be covered!

Why Joe Biden? Three considerations. First, consider the state of the country since 2015: Unemployment doubled, highest number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the world, exponential growth in climate-related wildfires and hurricanes, and marked increases in domestic terrorist threats, such as the Michigan kidnapping plot.

Second, consider the number of damning reports from former White House officials—John Bolton, James Comey, Steve Bannon, Michael Cohen, Andrew McCabe and others depicting dishonesty, deception, chaos, corruption, divisiveness and abuse of power. Over 100 prominent GOP leaders have endorsed Mr. Biden, including former Gov. Tom Ridge and 73 former national security officials. Fact-checkers at The Washington Post have counted over 20,000 lies and misleading statements from Donald Trump since inauguration. To lie is to mislead. Mr. Trump’s leadership is wanting, as his word cannot be trusted.

Third, consider the alternative: Joe Biden has effectively grappled with each of the major challenges that we face today—the pandemic (H1N1 and Ebola), the economic downturn (the 2009 economic recovery plan), the climate crisis (the Paris climate accord), racial injustice (President Barack Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing) and political divisiveness: As a senator, Mr. Biden crossed the aisle and earned the respect of Republican colleagues (John McCain and even Lindsey Graham). Rabid socialist or police hater? Not even close. As a vice president, he was the bipartisan deal-maker with Congress for the Obama team. A problem-solver with a strong moral compass.

For me, the choice couldn’t be clearer.

Note from KBJ: President Trump hasn't lied about anything, Tom. Do you even know what a lie is?

Remember, BIDEN is going to raise your taxes at a level never seen before. This will not only be very costly for you, it will destroy our economy, which is coming back very rapidly.

Here is John Nolte's latest column.

To the editor:

The president always ridicules individuals who are smarter than he is, so it is no surprise to read that he is now targeting Fauci.

Yes, we are tired of COVID-19, as the president argues. Perhaps we would be in a better place by now if Trump had dealt with the threat.

But mainly we are really tired of Trump.

Note from KBJ: Donald Trump is among the smartest presidents we've had, Bette. He's smarter than you are; that's for sure. Also, Anthony Fauci hasn't been elected to anything. He's an adviser. He offers advice to the president. Other people play the same role. Sometimes they disagree. But even if they agree with one another, they don't get to make policy. The president was elected (by us) to make policy. He can ignore Fauci if he wants and he can fire him if he wants. One more point: unless you worship science, you should ask whether a particular scientist is acting in his or her capacity as a scientist or in some other capacity. Science has become politicized. President Trump isn't anti-science. He's anti-politicized-science.
