Chinese Communist Party Media Joins U.S. Democrat Crusade For Absentee Ballots

Chinese Communist Party Media Joins U.S. Democrat Crusade For Absentee Ballots
"Branding Republican opposition to the practice as “a denial of American democracy” after President Trump criticized it on Twitter, analysis from CCP-funded...China Global Television Network (CGTN) – a registered “foreign agent” in the U.S. – questions “the big difference between exercising one’s democratic right by physically going to a polling station versus exercising the same right by mailing” and why President Trump is “scared” of the prospect.
...In short, the CCP’s embrace of absentee voting should be a major red flag."

Good News for Trump from … Team Obama? | Power Line

Good News for Trump from … Team Obama? | Power Line
"There are quite a few raised eyebrows about today’s story in Politico with the headline “The General Election Scenario That Democrats Are Dreading.” 
The story is built around the economic forecast of the former chief economist for President Obama, Jason Furman, who is now a professor at Harvard.
...so when he has an optimistic view of how the economy is going to do over the summer and into the fall, you can understand why it is giving Democrats heartburn. 
From the article:
In early April, Jason Furman, a top economist in the Obama administration and now a professor at Harvard, was speaking via Zoom to a large bipartisan group of top officials from both parties. 

The economy had just been shut down, unemployment was spiking and some policymakers were predicting an era worse than the Great Depression. 

The economic carnage seemed likely to doom President Donald Trump’s chances at reelection…
Furman, tapped to give the opening presentation, looked into his screen of poorly lit boxes of frightened wonks and made a startling claim. “We are about to see the best economic data we’ve seen in the history of this country,” he said…
...Furman’s counterintuitive pitch has caused some Democrats, especially Obama alumni, around Washington to panic. “...

Another lib-media lie!----Bloomberg aide slammed for using photo from another day to claim Trump golfed on Memorial Day | Fox News

Bloomberg aide slammed for using photo from another day to claim Trump golfed on Memorial Day | Fox News
"Tim O’Brien, a former campaign aide for Mike Bloomberg and a Bloomberg opinion writer, is coming under fire for posting side-by-side photos of Joe Biden at a war memorial on Memorial Day and a photo of President Trump golfing on a different day with the caption, “Different approaches to Memorial Day.”...

...Trump played golf over the weekend for the first time since early March, but spent Monday honoring service members at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia and Fort McHenry in Baltimore. 

"Together, we will vanquish the virus, and America will rise from this crisis to new, and even greater heights," Trump said at Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine. “As our brave warriors have shown us from the nation’s earliest days – in America, we are the captains of our own fate.

"No obstacle, no challenge, and no threat is a match for the sheer determination of the American people," Trump continued. "This towering spirit permeates every inch of the hallowed soil beneath our feet."

“This is a lie and you know it,” tweeted National Republican Senatorial Committee senior advisor Matt Whitlock of the misleading side-by-side.

“Truly is remarkable how one can be golfing at the same time holding a memorial in Arlington,” tweeted another user, along with a video of Trump at the cemetery.

The Students for Trump page called O’Brien the “CEO of fake news.”
