    1. @First Last I am a Canadian. I have ‘no skin in the game.’ I have no financial bias. I am an observer. I do not subscribe to cable so am not swayed by virtue of a drip campaign by either party. Each network does tell their story. With an open heart, I have fact checked and Biden does not want to rid the country of Police. Don’t be afraid.

    2. @Corn Pop I know someone who has died. As well, it is not just a matter of dying, it is filling up the hospitals to care for Covid patients that delays treatment of all hospital visits. Throughout wars, young people gave their lives to save us. Wouldn’t they have thought it a blessing to save people just by wearing a mask rather than trying to survive the trenches? They were saving democracy and it looks like it may have been in vain. All of those mother’s sons that never returned. I wonder if being stubborn to do so is a symptom of other things people have not been able to control in their lives….are the deaths worth it?

    3. @Corn Pop I am Canadian. Politics don’t play into mask wearing. We just know it is the right thing to do – despite our health care being paid for!

    4. @B I Here Moron here’s your Russians they had you believing in. After the election I’ll give you a up date on the covid.

  1. President Trump is receiving world class publicly funded healthcare at the same time his lawyers are in Court trying to take our healthcare away.

    1. @Charles Trump has ties to drugmaker Regeneron — and now its stock is surging

      By Paul R. La Monica, CNN Business

      Updated 4:03 PM EDT, Mon October 05, 2020

      New York(CNN Business)President Trump received a high dose of an experimental antibody cocktail from Regeneron as part of his Covid-19 treatment. Now the drugmaker’s stock is up sharply — and questions are swirling about the president’s ties to Regeneron’s billionaire CEO.

      Trump’s team revealed Friday that the president received the drug, called REGN-COV2, which is being used to alleviate symptoms and reduce viral load. Shares of Regeneron surged 7% Monday, bringing the stock’s year-to-date gain to more than 60%. The stock reached its highs of the day after Trump tweeted that he will be leaving the hospital Monday evening.

      Regeneron CEO Dr. Leonard Schleifer and President Trump are acquainted: The CEO has been a member at Trump’s golf club in Westchester, New York, and his company also received $450 million in government funding in July as part of the president’s Operation Warp Speed plan to quickly develop a vaccine and other treatments for Covid-19.

      Meanwhile, Trump also recently owned shares of Regeneron (REGN) — as well as Gilead Sciences (GILD), maker of the antiviral drug remdesivir that the president is also taking. Both stocks were listed as assets on Trump’s 2017 filing with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, though neither were holdings on the president’s most recent filing for 2020.

      “Len and President Trump are acquaintances from both living in the Westchester area for many years but didn’t have any regular contact until this year, when they’ve discussed matters around Covid on occasion,” Regeneron told CNN Business in a statement.

      According to Forbes, Schleifer is now worth $2.5 billion, up from $2.1 billion in the middle of March. Schleifer primarily donated to Democratic political candidates and PACs in the 2016 and 2018 elections, according to Federal Election Commission records.

      Regeneron is one of many biotechs and Big Pharma firms that has skyrocketed on hopes that it may be able to quickly develop an effective coronavirus treatment. The company started human trials for its antibody cocktail in June and began a phase 3 trial just a month later.

      It has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, however. The FDA can approve the administration of it through so-called compassionate use requests on an individual basis. Regeneron confirmed to CNN Business that one of the president’s doctors made such a request to Regeneron and the FDA to approve administering the drug to Trump.

      

      Early data shows promising results from Regeneron’s antibody cocktail for coronavirus

      Schleifer defended the decision to give Trump the cocktail last week, telling CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that Trump “is in a higher-risk group for a variety of reasons” and that “we hope that we will give his immune system enough of a boost so that he can win this and make a complete recovery.”

      “We’ve got a lot of data, but we’re still in the experimental phase. But

    2. @Charles Why did Giulani Trumps personal lawyer meet with Andriy Derkach a Russian Agent three times?

    3. frank hayles
      You and your democrat associates are operating an “end of days” climate cult, that relies on scare-tactics, and ignores science. IPCC.ch

  2. But But, they have a word for uniting America it is called SOCIALISM!!! Yes the fearful and dangerous socialism, that brought you such things as a publicly funded library system, schools, police, ambulance, fire dept. social security, national parks, museums etc Don’t you want capitalism??? You know competition dividing America makes it stronger. People really need to understand socialism and capitalism exclusively are bad but inclusively it works. And America works when we learn to both share our basic needs and encourage fair competition to drive innovation. We can unite and compete.

    1. Social security is not socialism they just want to steal the money in there for there stupid mega churches….

    2. ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!! The top 5 happiest countries in the world are the 5 socialist Scandinavians. Oh, and as very few of us realize, 1) bailouts of 2008 et al, 2) bailouts of Trumps’ injurious trade policies, 3) not to mention the multiple TRILLION $ “stimuli” for the salvation of the USA post-Mar 2020, all on the taxpayer’s dime (including $70,000 to keep Trump’s hairpiece in place). Thank God for this kind of socialism, because the Trumpist neanderthals that carte-blanche decry it, really ought to get out more!!

    3. Has anyone actually read bidens economic plan? A spending proposal thats not even 5% of gdp isn’t exactly socialism.

  3. What? We aren’t better off now then we were 4 years ago? All just in this year alone we had record setting death and record setting unemployment. And through all that they put a judge on the bench so smoothly in record set to.time.

    1. Exactly why the no police, no borders democrats need to be charged as traitors. 2 can play that game lemmings..

  4. Yes, and Republicans like yourself brought this about. The GOP must go: totally corrupt from stem to stern. Traitors every single person that supports Trump.

    1. An effort must be made to cooperate with moderate Republicans and those that are dissatisfied with Trump, there’s already enough division. Picking fights with moderate and anti-Trump Republicans will just help Trump. There’ll be plenty of time to disagree after Trump is out of the White House.

  5. Trump’s court pick had her KIDS at trump’s COVID lawn party! NO MASK! If that’s the way she treats her family! I DON’T WANT her making DECISIONS for mine!

    1. You are obviously clueless about the scientific facts regarding Covid.
      I suggest you get some treatment for your TDS !!

    2. @reality check “scientific facts regarding Covid”?? Oh, *DO* tell us!! You can have Herman Cain chime in also…and the 215,000+ *OTHER DEAD AMERICANS*

  6. I’m not American, but this speech strikes me as one of the most important ever made. Please god the American electorate wake up before it is too late!

  7. His speech is so spot on, a thing of beauty. Spoken by a healthy vibrant man with amazing empathy and morals.

  8. Biden’s speech today was perfect. America needs excellent leadership and team building. I’m a conservative for Biden
