Ridiculous ‘fact check’ of a true
statement during CBS debate

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 10/1/2024 11:31:05 PM

JD Vance was accurately describing the migrant crisis fueled by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden when CBS moderator Margaret Brennan decided to insert herself with a “fact check.” “Just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status,” she said smugly. Vance was rightly annoyed by the interruption and said, “The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact check, and since you’re fact checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on.”

That was excellent by Vance. That one exchange pretty much stopped the "fact checking" the rest of the night.

With such bias moderators continuously being put forth by the so-called mainstream (liberal) media, the debate this evening should be the last such mainstream media moderated debate that the Republicans ever agree to do, and essentially just allow such debate formats to pass into history. In this debate Walz was all over map using vague political speak that you can bet that most people did not know what he was talking about most of the time.

I can do a fact check for everything. Assume the 'facts' are censored or outright changed. Rechecking things I read a year or two ago, the facts changed outright. Harris' ethnicity went from Caucasian/Jamaican to black. George Soros went from a guard at Nazi concentration camps to just a regular soldier. There are lots more so the fact checking tonight would have to depend on where they were checking.

Another biased response by the moderators was they would repeat some hard fact Walz said, asking Vance to respond to that, and rarely did that to Walz who was allowed to freely answer the question. They were trying to control Vance. They did ask Walz about his Hong Kong lie, but then hit Vance with an entirely different question to shield Walz from having Vance expand on it.

Fact-checking you, Senator, even though we agreed we wouldn't, and now we are moving on before you can respond. It was an egregious attempt to make Vance look bad, but his assertive response did the opposite. I'm guessing the ladies didn't cut his mic sooner because his audacity in confronting Brennan momentarily stunned them.

Vance was brilliant. That particular exchange put the two harpies on notice that they were in the presence of a superior intelligence and they couldn't play their little gotcha game any longer. Vance was in total control of the process from that point on. And even Walz was deferential to him from that point forward. We have a great new leader rising.

Pretty much all the illegal aliens allowed into this country under Biden/Harris have legal status* because Biden/Harris and Mayorkas have totally twisted how one applies for legal status in this country. They have broken all the rules on the books to protect these invaders. And hey Margaret - why don't you take in one of these Haitian families with "legal Status" since you care so much about them. * - it's called temporary protected status while you wait to see the immigration judge on your asylum status and that wait is years in the making aka catch and release.

#19: Hard copies here. Paper lasts for thousands of years if properly stored. Digital media from >2006 can't be used; that's when DVDs took over from VCRs. We demand that all of our financial statements be issued on paper. That way, if all electronics go down, we have proof of our assets. Even if the holders wanted to argue that we could have withdrawn the funds after the paper statement, they won't because they have no paper trail, but we do. And there's precious metals too....

Some things are true — for collectivist communists and individualist capitalists, for all people, regardless of who they are. For decades now, Americans have been inundated with propaganda that the only entity that cares for them is found in the Democrat party, as collectivism has been promoted as America’s savior and individualism and individual liberty have been castigated as “selfish” and self-serving. But although there is no shame in looking out for one’s own interests, there is plenty of shame in it when you put the entire population and the nation at risk in the process, which is precisely what the International Longshoreman’s Association is doing,

Democrats were left disappointed by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s performance in Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate, with some saying Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, the runner-up in the Kamala Harris veepstakes, would have easily outshone Ohio GOP Sen. JD Vance. In front of millions watching the CBS News forum, Walz, 60, had to fight through a series of self-inflicted rhetorical wounds, including calling himself a “knucklehead,” his confusion of Iran and Israel on the very first question of the debate, and his gaffe about befriending school shooters “[Harris’] campaign has no message other than ‘I’m not Donald Trump,'” said one well-connected party source

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) dominated Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) from start to finish in Tuesday nights vice presidential debate. It wasn't even close. Despite the moderators' best efforts to give Walz a hand, he was no match for Trump's running mate. Vance, composed and prepared, delivered clear, well-informed responses, especially when highlighting Kamala Harris’s ineffectiveness as vice president. Vance not only outperformed Walz on core issues but also tackled traditionally Democratic topics in ways likely to appeal to voters. His effortless command over the debate left both Walz and the moderators struggling to match his poise and precision. And not even the liberal media could deny it.

Five weeks from Election Day, a foreign policy crisis looks to potentially affect not only the presidential election, but key Senate races as well. The Biden-Harris administration has been slammed as a failure, especially as Vice President Kamala Harris' diplomatic warnings of "don't" from last year unsurprisingly failed. The administration has also been lifting sanctions on Iran, even and including after Iran's proxies had attacked Israel last year.

Kamala Harris’s running mate could have pummelled JD Vance for being a mean, small-minded, misogynistic flip-flopper whose sole guiding principle was to suck up to Donald Trump. Instead, he came to praise rather than to bury his opponent. Vance couldn’t believe his luck. The Republican vice-presidential nominee was only too pleased to play
