Thursday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” ABC’s chief national correspondent Tom Llamas laid out some of the issues concerning some of former Vice President Joe Biden son Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings, which appear to have coincided with certain events during the elder Biden’s term as VP. Joe Biden, a candidate for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, refused to answer questions about that topic when confronted on camera.

People who think Joe Biden is the most likely contender to win the Democrats’ presidential nomination must believe that the mainstream media will remain silent about the way his son Hunter scored lucrative business deals with foreign governments after accompanying his dad on overseas missions during his vice presidency. (They also must believe that his stupid gaffes will somehow end, but that’s a separate issue.) But as I predicted more than a month ago, neither of these is going to happen. ABC News is pressing the issue of Hunter Biden’s remarkable luck with foreign governments. Smell something bad? (ABC...

Weighing in on his 2020 Democratic rival Joe Biden's comments about his friendships with segregationists, Senator Cory Booker predicted the former vice president would not be his party's presidential nominee. The New Jersey Democrat has not gone after the former vice president by name as the two vie for the party’s nomination. That changed Wednesday as Biden faced criticism for his comments invoking two segregationist senators. Booker, who is black, responded to a tweet from a Twitter user, who captioned a photo of a woman looking sad, “me realizing i’m going to have to vote for joe biden in 2020.”

Former vice president Joe Biden drew criticism for his “sleepy” speeches in Iowa on Tuesday, which confirmed critics’ concerns about his age and energy. More than the style and delivery, however, what was wrong with Biden’s addresses was the substance. Not only did he cite the “very fine people” hoax from Charlottesville, but he also made the ridiculous claim that he wanted to run against President Donald Trump because he opposed excessive use of executive power. If that were Biden’s actual motivation, he should have resigned from President Barack Obama’s administration and run against him instead. No president in living...

Democrats are beginning to question whether former Vice President Joe Biden is too old to be president, Politico is reporting. ... "It's the 78-year old elephant in the room," said political consultant Fernand Amandi, who worked for the Obama-Biden campaigns in 2008 and 2012. ...

Biden’s elevation to front-runner is a testament to how much the president has shaken Democrats’ faith. To former Vice President Joe Biden’s benefit, electability has become the unofficial buzzword of the 2020 presidential campaign. Although it’s still early, most polls show Biden as the clear front-runner among Democrats. A CNN/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll was just the latest to give him a solid lead. Among Iowa’s likely Democratic caucus-goers, 24 percent named Biden their first choice for president—a significant lead in a fractured field that has more than 20 candidates. Biden’s early strength isn’t particularly surprising. He’s an experienced politician. And...

After Plagiarism Scandal, Biden Rips Off Avenatti’s Campaign Slogan. Avenatti Responds. Fresh off his latest plagiarism scandal, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden ripped off indicted lawyer Michael Avenatti's proposed campaign slogan on Tuesday, which spurred reaction online, including from Avenatti. During a campaign stop in Iowa, Biden said: "I think it's time, you know, [Trump] says, 'let's Make America Great Again,' let's make America America again." People immediately noticed that Biden's remarks were an exact match for the campaign slogan that Avenatti had proposed using for his campaign before he encountered legal problems and decided not to run for office....

Biden vowed his administration would cure cancer if he defeats incumbent President Donald Trump in 2020 Joe Biden is on a mission to help cure cancer. While speaking to supports in Ottumwa, Iowa on Tuesday, the former vice president vowed that his administration would work to cure cancer if he defeats President Donald Trump in the upcoming 2020 election. “I’ve worked so hard in my career, that I promise you, if I’m elected president you’re gonna see single most important thing that changes America, we’re gonna cure cancer,” Biden told the crowd in video obtained by the Washington Examiner. While...

Where in the world is Joe Biden? The 2020 Democratic primary frontrunner is missing out on all of the big parties. He was a no-show at the California Democratic convention and he’s also RSVP’d in the negative for some other major cattle calls. Rather than the early primary/caucus states, Joe is knocking around in the swing states. That’s prompting some people, like Seth Mclaughlin at the Washington Times to ask the question… is Biden hidin‘? Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden has left his fellow 2020 presidential candidates and local party leaders in early voting states miffed with his light...

VIDEO Sleepy Joe Biden drew laughably small crowds at his two campaign stops in New Hampshire as you can see in this video. What adds to the pathetic nature of his small crowd sizes is the fact that many in attendance were forced to be there due being union members. Again a reminder that my videos going into about the incredibly low Biden crowd sizes is something that you WON'T see covered in such detail (or at all) by the mainstream media.

Joe Biden released a $5 trillion “clean energy revolution” plan Tuesday to combat climate change, which he said is the greatest challenge facing the United States and world. Biden responded aggressively to critics and rival Democratic candidates who predicted he’d be too moderate on climate change, given his pro-union background, with a proposal that he says goes “well beyond” the agenda he undertook in the Obama administration. He vowed to re-enter the Paris Climate Accord that the Obama administration negotiated, and President Trump rejected, on the first day of his presidency, and to commit the U.S. to an even more...

Warning that “we must take drastic action now to address the climate disaster facing the nation and our world,” former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday unveiled a wide-ranging plan to combat climate change and transform America’s economy. Using the Green New Deal as a framework, the clear front-runner right now in the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination announced he’s “calling for a Clean Energy Revolution to confront this crisis and do what America does best – solve big problems with big ideas.” The price tag for the proposal -- named ‘The Biden Plan for a Clean Energy...

Get ready for more attacks on people of faith if Joe Biden is elected president. Biden announced at an event in Ohio on Saturday that his number one priority, if elected, will be to enshrine LGBTQ rights into federal law via the Equality Act, a contentious, Orwellian effort by left-wing bullies to silence Christians who believe biblical teachings on marriage and reject the view that boys can be girls and girls can be boys. During a half-hour speech at the Human Rights Campaign's annual gala in Columbus, Ohio, Biden said, "It's wrong and it is immoral what [the Trump administration]...

Former Vice President Joe Biden has accumulated a lead in the 2020 Democrat polls sufficient enough to officially qualify for frontrunner status. This is pretty impressive when you consider the amount of baggage he had to drag along in order to get himself there.

WASHINGTON - Memorial Day weekend is a time for presidential wannabes to get out on the campaign trail at patriotic events, solemn remembrance of our fallen heroes and addressing national issues. That’s what most Democratic candidates were doing on Monday, but not former vice president Joe Biden, front-runner for his party’s presidential nomination. Instead, his campaign announced that “Joe Biden has no public events scheduled.” “Those seven words are becoming familiar for the Biden team. Aside from a campaign swing right after announcing his candidacy, Biden has kept his head down while his rivals rush from state to state to...

Sen. Bernard Sanders‘ grassroots activists fear a repeat of 2016 in next year’s Democratic primary — this time, instead of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, they see the party establishment rallying around former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. in an effort to deny their candidate the nomination. For hardcore Sanders supporters, Mr. Biden’s early domination of the race smacks of 2016, when the Democratic National Committee attempted to sabotage Mr. Sanders and clear the way to the nomination for Mrs. Clinton. “The mainstream media and the DNC are colluding against the American people. That’s what it feels like....

VIDEO Following his Philadelphia "kickoff" campaign rally and a Florida fundraising tour, Joe Biden has gone into a state of deep hibernation. His campaign Facebook page shows NO future events scheduled for him. In addition, his OFFICIAL (not parody) website reveals only TWO Biden campaign events scheduled, neither of which includes Biden himself. One is for a group of folks to stand on some street corner in Manchester, NH to hold up Biden signs and the other is for some neighbors to gather for drinks in Media, PA and tell each other how enthusiastic they are for the sleeping Joe...

"I like Biden on a personal basis, but I think he is a walking time-bomb," Hume said. "I think his age is an issue, I’m the same age as he is, my age is an issue, I think his is too... the filters don’t work as well, the memory isn’t as sharp. "You might blurt out things as he did the other day when he said China is no competitor of ours. Now, I can kind of get where he was coming from on that, meaning you know we are the best and nobody can beat us. But that’s not...

Pennsylvania's unemployment level has plummeted to its lowest point in 43 years. Here's what that could mean for 2020. Pennsylvania's unemployment rate is at a near record low, dropping to just 3.8 percent, the lowest its been since 1976, according to statistics published by the state on Friday. That hovers just over the national rate of 3.6 percent. That number is down a half a percentage point from April 2018, when the unemployment rate sat at 4.3 percent. The total number of Pennsylvanians who are employed — 6,222,000 — is an all-time record, the state says. With Pennsylvania once again...

U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- I watched with considerable alarm as Senator Joe Biden was elected Vice President in 2008. He was a very effective insurance policy for President Barack Obama. Vice President Joe Biden is corrupt. He has been at least since 1984. I learned this in 1984, in an interaction I had with Lt. Kayne Robinson's wife at the NRA annual meeting in Milwaukee.Biden is an unethical bully. I watched him on C-Span as he interrogated Lt. Kayne Robinson during a Senate committee hearing on “cop killer bullets”. The hearing took place on March 7th, 1984. Kayne was unflappable. Biden...
