'Cindy Can Have Sleepy Joe': Trump Shrugs Off Late Senator McCain Widow's Support for Biden

Late Arizona Republican senator John McCain's widow Cindy endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president on Tuesday, saying she was putting her 'country first'. She added that Biden knew what it was to send his child to war, since his son had served as an army lawyer in Iraq for a year.

US President Donald Trump has dismissed the endorsement of his Democratic rival Joe Biden by late Republican senator John McCain's widow.

In a tweet on Wednesday morning, Trump said he was "never a fan of John" and that "Cindy can have Sleepy Joe!"

Cindy McCain endorsed Biden in a series of tweets on Tuesday.

"My husband John lived by a code: country first," she wrote. "We are Republicans, yes, but Americans foremost. There's only one candidate in this race who stands up for our values as a nation, and that is Joe Biden."

...

Biden's campaign has received the blessing of several Republican establishment figures, including former secretary of state Colin Powell, who argued the case for the Iraq War at the UN in 2003 by insisting Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction - a claim that was later proved false.

Legal analyst J. Christian Adams argued last night on Fox News that Michael Bloomberg is breaking federal and likely Florida state law by buying votes from felons.

Federal law makes it illegal to pay for or receive money for voting.

And J. Christian Adams also argued that Bloomberg is putting the felons in legal and financial jeopardy by paying off their debts for votes.

Florida Gov DeSantis and Florida AG Ashley Moody agree!

The letter from Attorney General Ashley Moody was addressed to both the Florida Department of Law Enforcement AND the FBI!

It "shall be the policy of the United States not to promote race or sex stereotyping or scapegoating in the federal workforce or in the uniformed services, and not to allow grant funds to be used for these purposes," Trump said in an executive order signed on Tuesday evening.

While the order does not mention 'critical race theory' by name, it cites a "destructive ideology" that is "rooted in the pernicious and false belief that America is an irredeemably racist and sexist country," viewing some people as oppressors simply on account of their race or sex and treating "racial and sexual identities [as] more important than our common status as human beings and Americans."

The order cites numerous instances of such ideology being promoted to employees of federal government agencies and in government-funded institutions. It cites several examples brought up by researcher Christopher Rufo, including the Sandia National Laboratories nuclear facility and the Treasury Department.

Trump's order comes just a day after Rufo raised the alarm about the State Department, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Veterans' Affairs Administration (VA) proceeding with plans for "diversity" seminars, despite a memo from the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) instructing government agencies not to do so.

The executive order goes beyond just government agencies, banning the promotion of such beliefs in the US military and among all federal contractors - directly affecting hundreds of companies, both large and small.

Colleges and universities supporting critical race theory also stand to lose federal grants, under the terms of Trump's EO.

The order painstakingly defines what it considers "divisive concepts" that are thereby off-limits. For example, the "race or sex stereotyping" is defined as "ascribing character traits, values, moral and ethical codes, privileges, status, or beliefs to a race or sex, or to an individual because of his or her race or sex."

Scapegoating is defined as "assigning fault, blame, or bias" based on race or sex.

The Department of Justice is instructed to treat "workplace training that teaches divisive concepts" contributes to a hostile work environment and can result in liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

Commenting on the order on Twitter, Rufo described it as "nothing short of astonishing," and "going much further" than his own stated goal of ending critical race theory indoctrination in the federal government - taking the fight to academia and the corporate world as well.

James Lewis, the lawyer representing Washington at Assange's hearings in London, sought to poke holes in the testimony of renowned professor of neuropsychiatry, Michael Kopelman, who said on Tuesday that the WikiLeaks founder is suffering from "severe depression" after being confined to the maximum security Belmarsh Prison for over 16 months.

Kopelman, who has visited Assange more than 20 times in prison, opined that if the court rules in favor of extradition to the US, it might drive Assange to take his own life. He pointed out that the Australian's years-long isolation at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and the history of depression running in his family make the scenario even more plausible.

It's the imminence of extradition and/or an actual extradition that will trigger the [suicide] attempt, in my opinion

Lewis argued that the symptoms of depression Kopelman saw in Assange are no more than pretense, suggesting that Assange has learned how to imitate the condition by reading the British Medical Journal in his cell and might have lied about having hallucinations, reported Shadowproof's Kevin Gosztola, who attended the hearing.

Lewis also blasted the expert for not identifying Assange's partner, Stella Morris, by name in his first report, which Kopelman said was omitted for the sake of her privacy. Lewis then argued that the fact that Assange had a wife and two small children was "a protective factor against suicide" - a notion which Kopelman rejected, saying that suicide is not a sole prerogative of single people.

In a bid to show that the anti-secrecy activist's mental suffering is a cunning ploy to avoid extradition, Lewis, somewhat surprisingly, invoked the fact that Assange hosted a 12-episode interview show for RT, dubbed World Tomorrow, as far back in 2012, and even referenced his publication of documents exposing US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2010.

The prosecutor reportedly asked if the depression Assange ostensibly developed after spending years in self-imposed exile, as well as in prison, "prevented Mr Assange's solicitation or leaking of material from the US government."

Lewis' innuendo that Assange's depression is all just a show has prompted a harsh rebuke from WikiLeaks editor-in-chief, Kristinn Hrafnsson.

It's quite extraordinary to hear the questions which are indicative of their willingness to try to establish that Julian Assange is simply making this up. We see this as appalling in all respects

Should he lose the court battle and be extradited to the US, Assange will be tried under the World War I-era Espionage Act and faces up to 175 years behind bars.
