We've finally made it to the third and final debate. You may remember the first debate was Trump vs. Biden with his sidekick Hiss Wallace. The second debate was Trump vs. GuthREEEE filling in for the cowardly Biden who ran an hid with George Stepalloverus.
Tonight Biden has been medicated and stimulated to face yet another ass-whopping by President Trump. Assisting Biden in his corner will be "moderator" Kristen Welker, a common White House press pool nuisance and barely known Trump-hater.
Here are the streams...
From Trump:
Sometimes Trump's stream cuts out.
Here is The Blaze's stream as a backup just in case:
In a desperate attempt to avoid another national embarrassment, the Enemies of the American People, also known as the fake news liberal media, have changed the rules once again hoping to give the edge to the Biden Crime Family.
According to the rules, the candidates will have two minutes to answer a question uninterrupted, and to ensure this the other candidate's microphone will be MUTED.
We'll see how this plays out, but I wouldn't be surprised if Trump gets muted mid-speech, especially if he brings up any issues the moderator doesn't like and doesn't want discussed. Issues such as Quid-pro-Joe's Pay-for-Play deals with Burisma through Hunter Biden, whose emails have just been released and are now under official investigation.
We shall see if the liberal media respects our president's free speech. We know how they think any other day of the week.
Tony Bobulinski, former Hunter Biden business partner

Troll-Tastic: President Trump Is Bringing a Special Guest to the Debate
You can say a lot of things about President Trump, but what you can’t
say is that he’s not a marketing genius. He also happens to be the
world’s greatest troll.
In 2016, he brought several of Bill Clinton’s sexual assault accusers
to a debate between he and Hillary Clinton, forcing the former
Secretary of State to have to see the front-row faces of women she had
formerly tried to destroy for political gain. That was an absolutely
brilliant move and Trump is apparently gearing up for part two during
his re-election effort.
Enter this absolutely troll-tastic move.
BREAKING:
Hunter Biden's former business partner-turned-whistleblower Tony Bobulinski will be the special guest of @realDonaldTrump at tonight’s debate.
Bobulinski has produced hard evidence and testimony to implicate Joe Biden in the corrupt business dealings in China.
If you’ve been keeping up with the fast flowing news covering the Joe
and Hunter Biden corruption scandals (yes, there are multiples now),
you’ve probably heard the name Tony Bobulinki. In a bombshell statement released last night,
Bobulinksi, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, revealed that
the emails detaining Joe Biden getting payouts via his son’s foreign
dealings are real. The “big guy” mentioned in previously revealed emails
was in fact Joe Biden.
In other words, not only do we have documentary evidence of Joe
Biden’s corruption, we have an on the record source also confirming the
authenticity of everything. This makes the “evidence” Democrats thought
they gathered against Trump during his impeachment absolutely laughable.
This is also far more evidence than almost every anonymously sourced
anti-Trump hit piece of the last four years had.
Of course, there are some dangers here. Namely, presenting Bobulinski
has a partisan figure might not be the best move. In reality, the
former Navy officer is a Democrat who has only donated to Democrat
causes to the extent that he’s even politically active. But you can bet
Trump bringing him to the debate will lead to wild charges that he’s got
a secret Ronald Reagan shrine in his closet or something.
Regardless, I’m not that concerned about the optics at this point.
The media and the left were going to try to smear Bobulinski as an
undercover GOP operative anyway. It’s not true and it doesn’t become
anymore true if he goes as Trump’s guest to the debate. While the
moderator may be able to ignore this topic, Bobulinski’s presence will
force the media to cover this story to at least some extent.
[WATCH] Trump Releases Raw Video of '60 Minutes' Interview and It's Everything You Thought It Would Be
Trump’s reasoning for the move has been that the media doesn’t
represent him honestly, and he wanted to make sure the people could see
the full footage and make their own judgments.
Watching back the video, it is obvious they made the right choice.
Stahl came in loaded for bear and set up the interview by asking the
President if he was “ready for some tough questions.” Trump responded
with a shrug.
Trump:Just be fair
LS: But last time I remember you saying ‘bring it on. Bring it on’
Trump: No I’m not looking for that. I’m looking for fairness. That’s all.
LS:You’re going to get fairness. But you’re ok with tough questions?
Trump: You don’t ask Biden tough questions.
It didn’t get much better from there. Stahl began by asking about
Trump’s biggest domestic priority and then interrupted him repeatedly
throughout his answers, not letting him finish a thought and challenging
his statements before he’d even finished answering. Stahl went on to
press him about job numbers, refusing to acknowledge record job growth
in the pandemic recovery and instead choosing to focus on unemployment
claims. When Trump refused to be led into negativity, the 60 Minutes
host delved into mask shaming, asking the President why he doesn’t make
people wear masks at his rallies. When Trump pointed out that they hand
out thousands of masks at every rally and many people wear them, she
persisted in asking why he doesn’t force people to wear masks.
That detour was indicative of the entire interview. Stahl would ask a
question, Trump would answer it (“I have encouraged people to wear
masks and I say it all the time”) and then Stahl would tell Trump it
isn’t true and Trump would answer again and Stahl would repeat the
question. This became quite amusing towards the end when Trump
complained that Stahl and her media colleagues refuse to ask Joe Biden
tough questions about the current scandal involving Hunter Biden,
Ukraine, Russia, and China, which Stahl continually dismissed as
“unverifiable” and unimportant.
Trump: It’s incredibly important. Whether or not a man
running for office is corrupt. If he’s taken money from China and
Ukraine and Russia. It’s incredibly important. It’s the biggest scandal
out there, Leslie. I think it’s one of the biggest scandals we’ve ever
seen and you won’t cover….He’s gone into hiding. For 5 days he’s been in
hiding.
LS:He’s preparing for your debate… Why are you *coming after me* about not going after Biden? You’ve asked me 5, 7 times?
She went on to ask him the same questions over and over again without a hint of irony.
On questions about topics from Obamacare to COVID response to
campaign tactics, Trump continually brought the conversation back around
to the corruption of the media. At one point, Stahl asked why he seems
so defensive all the time.
Trump: When people put out phony witch hunts, when they
spy on your campaign you have to fight back and if you don’t fight back
you go home, you go back home to mommy.
LS: It’s attack attack attack
Trump: It’s not attacks. It’s defense against attacks.
LS: You’re very defensive.
It’s interesting that Stahl expressed fatigue at being asked the same
questions over and over again and then accuses Trump of being defensive
when he tires of the same questions over and over again.
The interview ended abruptly (but not contentiously) when producers
indicated the Vice President was a few minutes from coming in for his
portion of the interview and Trump indicated he was through for the day,
or at least for that portion.
I think we have enough with the interview here. That’s enough.
You can see the entire thing for yourself here. It will be interesting to see the 60 Minutes cut and if they make any deceptive edits or choose to let it stand as is.
Many people have requested polling deconstruction similar to CTH accurate analysis in 2016. Let us be clear, there really is no value in doing that in 2020.
The media effort in 2020 is indeed very similar to 2016 in that current narratives are a psychological effort to create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
BASELINE 101: Everyone naturally wants to be on the winning team.
The media effort, and that means all media including social media and big tech, is to push down Trump support and elevate the appearance of Biden support. I really wish people would deeply consider this…
…If ABC (G. Stephanopoulos), CBS (L. Stahl), NBC (S. Guthrie/L. Holt), CNN (writ large), and FOX (C. Wallace/M. Kelly) are willing to stage audience plants (demonstrably done) during town-hall and broadcast television events,… then what exactly do you think those same media outlets are doing with their election polling?
Think about it.
I do not mean casually think about it; I mean really think about it.
Your intellectually honest answer is the answer you need unto itself.
Everything you are witnessing right now is about psychological control to create the false illusion of reality within your own mind. Essentially, professional media gaslighting with an agenda and purpose. This is not a conspiracy theory, those who are coordinating the effort have admitted exactly what they are doing:
♦ Google executives are on camera, outlining what their organization is doing. HERE and HERE and HERE. Google has admitted to using algorithms and their control over the internet search engine to influence the election. Again, stop and think about that.
♦ General Stanley McCrystal is working with a SuperPAC to use psychological warfare against the American electorate. Even the Washington Post admitted:
[…] The group, Defeat Disinfo, will use artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president’s claims on social media. It will seek to intervene by identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against the president. (source)
♦ The national U.S. media has been caught numerous times constructing a false reality, lying about events and attempting to manipulate the election. As you read this you have the concrete example of all national media hiding the explosive issues around Hunter and Joe Biden. Again, these are not conspiracy theories, these are demonstrable facts.
So what do you think all of these aligned interests are trying to do with the media polling examples they push and promote so heavily? Answer: they are trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
However, the actual facts on the ground… the stuff you can see around you, with your own eyes and ears,… is entirely different from the false reality they are attempting to create in the internet and false reality of television.
Take the example of Kamala Harris in Asheville, North Carolina today:
This is Asheville, North Carolina, a regional pocket of the most far-left of the furthest left moonbats in the entire South. And yet despite being in that left-wing enclave, Harris can only draw a crowd of around a dozen supporters.
See the disconnect?
A smattering of support and opposition in the town that should be the most pronounced support group for the efforts of the Moonbat coalition. The reality is entirely disconnected from the false media narrative…. brutally and transparently so.
This bizarre dynamic is why it was important to CTH readers for me to write about the media polling immediately after winning the 2016 election. At 5:00am on November 9th, 2016, I had to put this in writing because I realized the opposition would weaponize this fake polling with increased severity in 2020.
2016: Before we begin the arduous process of holding our political representatives accountable for the mandate we require, there is a very important detail which must be forever etched in the psyche of our republic to ensure it is never forgotten.
THE MEDIA DIDN’T GET IT WRONG – The pollsters did not work from the wrong data set; the media pollsters, consultants and professional political class did not work from the wrong assumptions, or use the incorrect baselines….. THEY LIED.
The professional media polling agents knew exactly what the truth was.
They lied and manipulated their data in a concerted effort to intentionally falsify reality. There should be no doubt, EVER, in the mind of any political observer as to what took place within the expressed and broadcasted polling which fueled over two years of broadcast news. The media intentionally lied.
They knew the truth. The same tools available to us, and to those who were ridiculed for truth-telling, were available to them and many more. They did not get it wrong. They chose to lie to you the American electorate. So lets name the liars so their names can forever be dispatched from the land where credibility is of value:
Fox News, pollster Daron Shaw, Shaw Research and associates and the Wall Street Journal. Rupert Murdoch.
NBC News, pollster Mark Murray, Hart Research and Associates.
Monmouth University, pollster Patrick Murray.
CBS News and New York Times writ large.
ABC News and The Washington Post.
CNN News Network and ORC Polling.
Reuters Polling Operations.
These individuals along with every single corporate national media polling outlet, which in turn contributed to -and skewed- the larger aggregate of the Real Clear Politics average of polls, were complicit in their intent to deceive the American electorate in an ideological scheme to manipulate the psyche of the American voter.
There is not a single shred of credibility that should remain with any of the above mentioned polling entities.
They did not make mistakes; they did not operate from the wrong assumptions. These organizations, as part of the larger corporate objectives from those who fund their endeavors, lied. Allowing them to say they made a mistake is only dooming ourselves to the continued cycle of battered electorate syndrome.
These entities are our abusers. They have been gaslighting the American electorate for years, and have been able to remain unchecked because no-one has ever called them to task before.
Throughout the last two years we have identified and exposed this corrupt endeavor while being ridiculed and marginalized at each undertaking. There should be no quarter provided and no amount of forgiveness ever offered.
The entire construct of their operational business model is corrupt from top to bottom. This moment in history should forever separate their influence from our national political discussion. PERIOD.
BOMBSHELL: Hunter Biden Email Names Sen. Kamala Harris, Others as
Key Contacts for 'Joint Venture' With China 'Belt and Road' Company
The emails purported to be Hunter Biden’s on that abandoned laptop have been verified
by one recipient. They’re real and they’re spectacularly damning,
according to Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of Hunter Biden.
Another email that was not on that laptop begs for answers from Joe
Biden’s vice-presidential running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris. Fox News reports:
A list of “key domestic contacts” for a joint venture
involving Jim and Hunter Biden and now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co.
included former Vice President Joe Biden‘s current running mate Sen. Kamala Harris, among other prominent Democrats, Fox News has learned.
An email exclusively obtained by Fox News, with the
subject line “Phase one domestic contacts/ projects” and dated May 15,
2017, Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, shared a list of “key domestic
contacts for phase one target projects.”
The email is unrelated to the laptop or hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden, the former vice president’s son.
Jim Biden is the Democratic nominee’s brother.
It’s a shame the media won’t stir itself to cover this. Or, when they do, they’ll spin it faster than a NutriBullet.
Because it looks for all the world like the whole Biden family trades
on Joe’s long and mediocre career in politics, with Hunter as the tip
of the lucrative spear.
And they don’t care at all about who they trade with, including the communist oligarchy that rules China.
The Biden camp has not responded to it in
any way. Joe himself remains under his self-imposed lid until after
tonight’s final presidential debate, which will be moderated by a
journalist with longstanding Democratic ties. Harris has yet to hold any
sort of press event. The malevolent media have not clamored for one.
Sen. Harris is specifically named in the email, along with several other prominent Democrats and one Republican.
The list, included Harris, D-Calif.; Senate Minority
Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Sen. Dianne
Feinstein, D-Calif.; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; New York Gov.
Andrew Cuomo; New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio; former Virginia Gov.
Terry McCauliffe, among others.
One question comes quickly to mind: Was Harris ever contacted about this, and if so, by whom? Will the moderator ask it of Joe?
Will the moderator ask about Joe’s nickname?
Bobulinski has confirmed both the authenticity of the laptop email
related to him and that the cryptic reference to “the Big Guy” who would
supposedly rake in $10 million from the deal with a Chinese energy
company is in fact a reference to Joe Biden.
Bobulinski was referring to an email, Fox News obtained
last week, dated May 13, 2017, which included a discussion of
“remuneration packages” for six people in a business deal with a Chinese energy
firm. The email appeared to identify Biden as “Chair / Vice Chair
depending on agreement with CEFC,” in an apparent reference to
now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co.
Reaction from most of the media and the Biden camp: crickets.
CEFC is close with the communist government, as are all successful mainland Chinese companies, and has been involved in Beijing’s “Belt and Road” initiative by which China has sought to use its economic and manufacturing might to displace U.S. influence around the world.
Francis’s new encyclical reads like a UN mission statement.
To celebrate the memory of Saint Francis of Assisi, to whom his pontificate is consecrated, Pope Francis has honored us with a long encyclical entitled Fratelli Tutti, or “All Brothers.” I doubt that this text will become a bestseller among the faithful, though all Catholics are urged to pay heed to such pronouncements. For those who, like me, are not Catholic, these texts are still worth analyzing as reflections of the spirit of the times and the intellectual atmosphere at the Vatican.
Fratelli Tutti, unsurprisingly, confirms the pope’s solid positioning on the left as an ecologist and anti-capitalist, a stance rooted in the revolutionary doctrines of his Argentine youth among the Jesuits of Buenos Aires—fellow travelers of Liberation Theology and hostile to the economic “liberalism” favored by military dictators. Times have changed, and the poverty that rightly haunts Pope Francis has massively diminished around the world thanks to globalization, free trade, the market economy, and the scientific revolution in agriculture (GMO soybeans in Argentina, for example). The encyclical takes no account of this progress but presses on in the fight with a largely imaginary enemy that the pope, like all leftist intellectuals, calls “neoliberalism.”
This is the enemy to be slain, according to Fratelli Tutti; but it is not defined, no doubt because it does not exist. In a cursory way, Francis condemns those who believe that “the market solves all problems”—these are apparently the “neoliberals.” But I know of no economist, in fact no intellectual, who claims that the market is a universal solution. In Europe, half of national wealth is redistributed by states in order to guarantee, as far as possible, a minimum of dignity. Even in the United States, a third of national wealth is redistributed for public health and schools. Is it Catholic to inflate the myth of neoliberalism in order then to demonize it? One may, like Pope Francis or John Paul II in his day, dislike the market economy, but it would be honest to recognize its social efficacy—as did John Paul II, who preferred, rather than calling it capitalism, to refer to it as a free economy.
Francis’s encyclical is still more surprising because of what it recommends in the place of liberalism: production cooperatives, a pleasing myth of the Argentine Left. It would be pleasing if a cooperative economy were effective, but it is not: in economics, good intentions do not necessarily produce the desired results. In terms of the struggle against poverty, the pope’s argument is thus untenable. Nor does the encyclical show why a market economy is morally hateful or contradictory to Catholic virtues. Is the market not founded on free choice? Choices can be better or worse, but so are human beings; how can the market be perfect if people make up the market? Adam Smith responded to this dilemma almost three centuries ago by noting that the sum of egoistic choices led to a positive collective outcome. Smith considered an economic system with moral results to be, on the whole, moral; Pope Francis prefers a regime with moral intentions (socialism, cooperatives), even if the results are a disaster. Is this Catholic?
It’s also surprising to find the encyclical making such a soft defense of democracy, in contrast with its unreserved praise for international institutions, which are neither democratic nor moral. This doesn’t seem very Catholic, either.
What is most unexpected of all in Fratelli Tutti are the pages devoted to populism. The pope is certainly right to condemn those who call all their adversaries “populists,” just as not long ago any troublesome criticism was called “fascist.” But the encyclical goes a little further than necessary, it seems to me, in considering all populism to be relatively respectable because the people are respectable, and populism is an expression of the people. But populism can also be an expression of the people’s violence—the very violence that democracy tends to channel. The case of Argentina, here again, might clarify the pope’s tendency. Peronism is a form of populism—anti-liberal and hardly democratic—for which Francis had a soft spot. The pope has sympathies for populist intentions, even when the results were (and still are) catastrophic.
Francis does not spare us a speech on saving the earth from climate emergency. Is this injunction based on science or on theology? Does not the Bible invite humanity to subject nature, rather than the contrary? The pope’s ecological fundamentalism strikes me as more pagan than Catholic. I would be open to a counterargument, but the encyclical does not offer one; there is nothing to discuss because the pope is infallible. The fundamental criticism one might make of this encyclical is that it is fashionable: Francis proposes a Catholicism of submission to the spirit of the times.

U.S.—In an attempt to improve viewers' experience at the next debate, both candidates' mics will be muted the entire time.
Viewership is expected to soar with this change, with people from all across the country suddenly being able to bear watching the two candidates desperately try to shout out their points while nobody can hear them.
"This will make the debate much more watchable," said one organizer. "No more shouting over each other, no more bizarre statements or inaccurate claims. Just sweet, uninterrupted silence."
Based on popular demand, the moderator's mic will also be muted.
Both campaigns say they are in favor of the change, as it eliminates the chance their candidate will say something stupid. Though the Biden campaign is still worried he might take his shirt off or something, so they are pushing for the debate to have no video feed either.
It’s a good question deserving of an in depth answer, so here’s a thread listing some of what he’s done in 3.5 years.
