Biden vs Biden
Hardnox, 'Nox & Friends - 10 hours ago
The debate Tuesday night was basically a shit show. President Trump ended up debating Chris Wallace and to a lesser extent, Joe Biden who was all juiced up on meds and wired for communications from his handlers. Since Joe isn’t capable of debating Trump by himself, below is a video of Biden debating himself. This imbecile, Biden, is the BEST that the Democrats have to offer. Think about that! If anyone votes for this fool then they are a bigger fool. Unfortunately, there is no shortage of fools in this country. ~ Hardnox

Every four years, news orgs flock to the undecideds at roughly this point in the White House campaign. Up to a point, it makes good sense that they would do so. Today, though, the New York Times adopts a classic "both sides did it" approach to its report about the way the undecideds viewed Tuesday evening's debate. It wasn't just Trump, it was Biden too! The familiar old framework was in control righ...

But this time, there may be a flicker of hope as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin arranged to convene and continue economic relief talks as the ongoing pres...

Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2018%3Anewsml_RC18134ECA00&share=true] It looks like the Royal Air Force may have found a way to do so. Earlier this week the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it had received the third S-400 Triumf missile air defense system regiment, but the question is whether the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has already made the system ineffective for targeting its aircraft.
