8 Body Language Tells From the Vice Presidential Debate

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/2/2024 3:42:15 PM

Before vice presidential contenders JD Vance and Tim Walz so much as opened their mouths on the debate stage in New York tonight, they both started talking to me. No, I’m not a telepath. I’m a body language expert with over 50 years of experience — 25 of which I spent with the FBI, where I served in the national security division’s elite behavioral analysis program. I’ve used my expertise in the endlessly subtle science of nonverbal communication to help ferret out spies and put away criminals. Tonight, I used it to figure out what Vance and Walz were really thinking and feeling

He didn’t mention Walz’s look of terror or that weird stare looking sideways at Vance answering a question. I can understand why he did this. It was because he knew he was no match for Vance’s poise and mastery of the details.

Spinning the body language. Generally, when someone, especially on the left, begins by proclaiming themselves to be an expert, get ready for a load of BS. Sure, Waltz's wide-eyes show "passion", not insane fanaticism.

I'm pretty good at reading people. JD Vance was in command. Walz was over his head. No wonder the public does not have much faith in the FBI.

Oh, brother, Joe. Nice try. Are we supposed to be impressed that you worked with a criminal organization for 25 years, and we are getting the benefit of your observations and expertise? And, any woman who is threatened by men’s facial hair needs to back to kindergarten. Lord but these people are tiresome.

So this is from the FBI, an organization dedicate to the Democrat party, telling us what we should believe about 'body language'. The FBI agent wants us to accept that the FBI is a non bias legitimate organization. And that his 'expertise' in reading body language is really, really, real cause he has worked for the FBI with really, really, real expert stuff. Body language can lie just lie verbal language. Don't believe me? Go watch a movie. Actors are masters of lying with their body language. Except we call it 'art'. Con artist and many politicians can do it on cue. Just watch Slick Willie. I get the bias in this analysis. He wants me to believe Walz dominated based on body language and Vance was caught off guard or faking. So do I believe my own eyes or the FBI. You decide!

Texas Highway Patrol troopers interdicted a large group of migrants shortly after they waded across the shallow Rio Grande north of Eagle Pass on Monday. The large group was one of two that the agency interdicted that day. According to a spokesperson for the Texas Highway Patrol, 27 migrants within the group were “Special Interest Aliens,” citizens of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, and India. A second group of 41 migrants was arrested earlier in the day, bringing the total number of migrants apprehended by the Texas Army National Guard soldiers and the Texas troopers in the Eagle Pass area on Monday to 271.
Politico Reveals Democrats’ Unease over

Politico’s Meredith Lee Hill and Mia McCarthy wrote an incredibly damaging article on Thursday about Gov. Tim Walz’s (D) performance in Tuesday night’s debate. The story suggests Democrats are panicking following Walz’a debate performance against Senator J.D Vance (R-OH), who received widespread praise amongst media elites for his debate performance. Obtaining on and off the record statements from Democrats, Hill and McCarthy did everything but torpedo Walz’s political future: Tim Walz was supposed to cut through the political nonsense to speak plainly to Americans about out-of-touch Republicans. But instead, some Democrats were alarmed by his performance at Tuesday’s debate and said he failed to capitalize on his opponents’ weaknesses.

The Biden administration’s sweeping student loan forgiveness plan was temporarily blocked again Thursday by a Missouri judge, just one day after a federal judge in Georgia said he would let a restraining order against the relief expire. St-Louis-based U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp, an appointee of Republican former President Donald Trump, issued the latest preliminary injunction against Biden’s relief plan. As a result of the order, the U.S. Department of Education is again barred from forgiving people’s student loans until Schelp has a chance to rule on the case. The latest order capped 24 hours during which federal student loan holders were subjected to judicial whiplash

A defensive President Biden on Thursday disputed criticism that his administration was caught off-guard by Hurricane Helene, insisting that he had a plan in place even before the deadly storm made landfall. “Days before the storm hit, I pre-positioned extensive resources on the ground throughout the Southeast, extensively — first responders, search and rescue teams, food, water, ambulances — before Helene made landfall,” Mr. Biden said after touring the damage in Ray City, Georgia. He said he approved disaster relief funding before the storm hit, unlocking federal aid for the states impacted by the storm, which includes Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.

The price of oil has jumped 5% after US President Joe Biden said the US was discussing possible strikes by Israel on Iran’s oil industry. Asked on a visit if he would support Israel striking Iran’s oil facilities, Biden said: “We’re discussing that." Iran is the seventh largest oil producer in the world, exporting around half its production abroad, mainly to China. Since Iran’s missile attack on Israel on Monday, the price of benchmark Brent crude oil has risen 10% to $77 a barrel, although this remains below levels seen earlier this year. Any extended rise in energy prices raises the possibility of higher petrol prices and increased

ERIE, Pa. — Democrats have been losing voters in Pennsylvania over the past four years, leaving Republicans salivating over the prospect of former President Donald Trump recapturing the biggest swing state in the Nov. 5 election. Nearly 300,000 registered Democrats have dropped off the rolls since 2020, even as Republicans have netted about 50,000 new registered voters — all in a state President Biden won by roughly 80,000 votes. The changes come in places like Luzerne County, near Mr. Biden’s hometown of Scranton. In 2020, Democrats held a 20,000 registered vote advantage, but as of last week, they trail the GOP by a few hundred votes. Mr. Trump won

A deadly hurricane, a massive labor strike and wars raging around the globe are among the crises engulfing the Biden-Harris administration one month before the election. Former President Donald Trump is flipping the script on Democrats, who for months have warned voters that he would bring chaos if he returns to the White House. “It’s a choice between freedom and chaos,” Ms. Harris told her audience at a rally in Milwaukee this summer. Her argument isn’t resonating with voters as war erupts in the Middle East, illegal immigrants swarm across the southern border, and rural residents in Georgia and North Carolina beg for help

We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas told reporters. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.” Hurricane Helene has ravaged the west coast of Florida and several states in the Southeast, flooding towns, destroying properties, and killing over 160 people.

Cheney was the top Republican on the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, earning Trump’s disdain and effectively exiling herself from her own party. Cheney lost her House seat to a Trump-endorsed candidate two years ago and she endorsed Harris, the Democratic nominee, last month.

The federal government's disaster response agency doesn't have enough money to help Americans left in distress by Hurricane Helene after blowing billions on illegal migrants. Over the last two years, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has handed out more than $1 billion taxpayer dollars to specifically support illegal migrants with housing. But now there's no money to help out the 150,000 American citizens who have reached out for federal assistance after their homes were damaged by Hurricane Helene. 'FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season,' Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted on Wednesday.

Hassan Nasrallah's son-in-law, Hassan Jafar Qassir, may have been killed in airstrikes in the Mezzeh neighborhood in Damascus on Wednesday, according to early reports published by Sky News Arabic. Hassan is the brother of Muhammad Jafar Qassir, who was killed in a strike in Beirut on Wednesday during the Iranian attack on Israel. Hassan's assassination is another severe blow to Hezbollah as its leadership has been slowly picked off in Israeli operations. Muhammed became a leading figure in the deliveries of Iranian weapons from Syria, and Hassan married Hassan Nasrallah's daughter, cementing their connection to Hezbollah and Iran.

Kamala Harris’s husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, denied allegations on Thursday that he “forcefully slapped” his then-girlfriend “for flirting with another man” in 2012. The denial comes as Harris seeks the presidency in a tight race and is performing poorly among men, who appear to view her as an opponent of masculinity. “This report is untrue,” and “any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false,” Emhoff’s spokesperson told Semafor’s Max Tani.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allocated nearly $364 million in the fiscal year 2023 and $650 million for the 2024 fiscal year to the “Shelter and Services Program” “to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),” according to the government’s website.
