On Wednesday, CNN laid out its rules for the “mute button” to be used in the first presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.

The left-wing outlet aired its demonstration in prep for Thursday night’s presidential debate. The 2020 debates were marred with insults and repeated talk-overs, making it seem almost like a circus ring. The rambunctious politics of yesterday — or rather the past decade or so — have prepared CNN to mitigate such abuse so that a proper debate can occur in Atlanta.

Muting can be helpful to the American people but can also show bias from the hosting network. According to The Hill, CNN “will mute the microphones of candidates when it is not their turn to speak.” Anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will be “empowered to use all tools at their disposal to enforce timing and ensure a civilized discussion.”

The Trump campaign has already accused CNN of bias that will manifest in treating Biden more favorably. Nonetheless, Trump has no alternatives, unlike Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, who won’t even have the chance to appeal to voters in this debate.

On Wednesday, the segment aired, previewing how the debate and the “mute button” would function. CNN anchor Phil Mattingly said, “Candidates will have two minutes to answer questions and one minute for responses and rebuttals. At the moderators’ discretion, there may be an additional minute for follow-ups, clarifications, or responses.”

Mattingly added that the cameras would have timing lights, too.

When the lights show yellow, there are 15 seconds left in the candidate’s answer or response. When the lights flash red, there are five seconds left, and when the display is solid red, the time is up. At that point, the candidate’s microphone will be turned off and the other candidate will have their microphone turned on.

On each of the candidates’ podiums are lights that will light up green when it is their “designated” turn to speak. Both campaigns have been provided the demonstration on Wednesday with a signing note by Mattingly that “by agreeing to participate in this debate, both campaigns and candidates have also agreed to abide by these rules.”

According to The Hill, the debate will be 90 minutes with two commercial breaks. Campaign staff are prohibited from interacting with their candidate during the break.

Trump Demands Drug Tests Before Agreeing to Presidential Debates

This will be round one of two scheduled debates between Trump and Biden. The second is set to air on ABC in September.

Ron DeSantis Gave His ONLY Post-Debate Spin Room Interview To NBC News, Then He Praised NBC News

CNN banned a commercial blaming Joe Biden and his open borders policies for the brutal murder of Laken Riley by an illegal alien who’d been set free by open borders law enforcement multiple times, blocking the ad from airing during Biden’s State of the Union address last week.

The commercial, which was produced by the group Building America’s Future, has run on both Fox News and MSNBC, but it was banned from CNN when the group tried securing it a time slot during Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.

“Laken Riley should’ve been able to go on a run in broad daylight without being murdered by an illegal immigrant,” a female narrator says in the commercial.

Between video clips of Biden insisting that illegal aliens should not be deported from the United States, the narrator said “Biden vowed not to detain illegal immigrants who cross the border.”

“So when Jose Ibarra (the illegal charged in Laken Riley’s murder) crossed into America illegally, he was not deported. He was not put in jail.”

“Biden also supported sanctuary cities,” the ad goes on. “So when Jose Ibarra was arrested in New York City, for endangering a child, he was freed a second time. Ibarra went to Georgia, where he beat Laken Riley to death. How many more killers has Biden set free?”

According to a report from Fox News, Phil Cox, of Building America’s Future, slammed CNN for refusing to air the ad, saying that “CNN and Joe Biden are in lockstep once again.”

“It is shameful that CNN is censoring the truth and trying to protect President Biden by refusing to air this ad. The American People understand that Biden’s open borders agenda is responsible for the death of Laken Riley.”

“…We are all less safe in Joe Biden’s America,” said Cox.

As National File recently reported, during Biden’s State of the Union address, when heckled by Marjorie Taylor Greene, he finally acknowledged Laken Riley and her murder at the hands of “an illegal”, and he was hammered by his own party as a result, for not referring to the man charged with Riley’s murder as an “undocumented immigrant.”

In a subsequent interview with MSNBC, Biden apologized for using the term “illegal” when referring to Joe Ibarra, affirming to Jonathan Capehart that he “regrets” it, and going on to say that illegal aliens “built the country.”

“During your response to [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s] heckling of you, you used the word ‘illegal’ when talking about the man who allegedly killed Laken Riley,” MSNBC interviewer Jonathan Capehart said to Biden.

“Undocumented,” Biden said. “An undocumented person. I shouldn’t have used illegal. It’s undocumented.”

After complaining that President Trump speaks too harshly about the illegal aliens invading America and with drugs and violence and murder, Biden insisted that he “treat any, any, any of these people with disrespect.”

“Look, they built the country,” Biden claimed. “They’re the reason our economy is growing.”

Exit polling has revealed that Nikki Haley’s loss to 45th President Trump in the New Hampshire GOP Primary came despite her campaign having mobilized Democrats and left-leaning independents to interfere in the Republican Party’s nominating process, by joining forces with Haley to cast votes against Trump.

While 70% of President Trump’s supporters in the New Hampshire GOP Presidential Primary were registered Republicans and 27% of them were undeclared, Nikki Haley’s campaign was in “an alternate universe,” CNN reported. Her numbers inverted when compared to Trump’s and Team Haley got the vast majority of its support from non-Republican voters, thanks to New Hampshire’s semi-open primary system.

Additional exit polls from NBC News showed that a whopping 85% of New Hampshire GOP Primary voters who called themselves “liberal” voted for Nikki Haley, while another 73% of self-proclaimed “moderates” did the same.

Just 28% of those described as “conservatives” supported Haley, with 70% of those voters backing President Trump.

And if the exit polling wasn’t convincing enough that Nikki Haley and her campaign are mobilizing Democrats in their attempts to hurt President Trump, in a CNN report from outside a New Hampshire polling place, a man who’s registered as undeclared by openly described himself as a Democrat told CNN that he’d voted in the New Hampshire GOP Presidential Primary for Nikki Haley, because if she gets the nomination, Biden will beat her!

“I think it would be better to have her against Biden in the election,” the man said.

“Do you consider yourself, generally, Republican, Democrat, or independent?” CNN asked him, to which he affirmed that he is indeed a Democrat.

“If it was Nikki Haley against Joe Biden in a general election, who are you voting for,” CNN asked.

“Joe Biden,” he replied.

Nikki Haley was sympathetic to plans to house up to 1 million Palestinian refugees in the US, as well as others from Middle Eastern “terrorist” states, during a CNN interview she made in October. Now, as the New Hampshire Presidential Primary approaches, Haley has hardened her stance and is calling for “pro-Hamas countries” like Egypt and Qatar to house the Palestinians displaced by Israel’s invasion of Gaza, which Haley enthusiastically supports.

During a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, Nikki Haley called not just for bringing Palestinian refugees into the United States, but Iranian refugees as well, who haven’t been displaced yet, but presumably will be if Nikki Haley’s foreign policy ever hits the Middle East.

Residents of these countries, Haley said, “have terrorists overseeing them,” but don’t want to, and it should be no problem for the US to “separate civilians from the terrorists.”

It’s “what we have to do,” said Nikki Haley.

“You have to realize that whether we’re talking about Gazans and Palestinians, half of them at the time that I was there didn’t want to be under Hamas’s rule. They didn’t want to have terrorists overseeing them. They knew that they were living a terrible life because of Hamas,” Haley told Tapper in the CNN interview.

“You have the other half that supported Hamas and wanted to be a part of that.”

“We see that with Iran too. The Iranian people don’t want to be under that Iranian regime.”

“There are so many of these people who want to be free from this terrorist rule. They want to be free from all of that. And America’s always been sympathetic to the fact that you can separate civilians from terrorists. And that’s what we have to do.”

A desperate Ron DeSantis, who now trails not just President Trump but also Nikki Haley in many 2024 GOP Primary polls, used the persecution of the 45th President to manipulate voters into supporting his campaign when he joined Kaitlan Collins for a CNN town hall.

“What I would tell primary voters is, uh, whatever may be beneficial in the primary doesn’t mean it’s beneficial in the general election,” DeSantis said.

“And I think a 2024 election where the Democrats get to run against a candidate that is going through all this stuff, that is going to give the Democrats an advantage,” he went on, seemingly lifting pro-persecution comments straight from the corporate media, who have openly celebrated efforts to get President Trump kicked off the presidential ballot, thrown in prison, or both.

According to DeSantis, the persecution of President Trump is working, and it’s “just a reality” that the unconstitutional cases against him are too much to overcome, despite his massive lead over the GOP field, and widening lead over Joe Biden in the latest polls.

“If they somehow convict, then the Democrats are gonna win the election,” DeSantis went on. “Why do we even want to go down that road?”

The Democrat and corporate media parroting session from Ron DeSantis came less than two weeks ahead of the Iowa caucuses, where the DeSantis campaign appears to have invested all of its marbles. DeSantis has campaigned in each of the state’s 99 counties and received the endorsement of the state’s Governor, Kim Reynolds, who recently showed support for satanism.

Despite his best efforts and the money of some of America’s foremost globalist political donors, DeSantis, along with the rest of the GOP field, is expected to be taken to the woodshed by President Trump on caucus day, January 15th.

As of January 5th, on average, more than 50% of likely GOP Iowa caucusgoers say they’ll be supporting President Trump. Just over 18% of them say they’ll be supporting Ron DeSantis, while just over 15% of them plan on backing Nikki Haley.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak admitted during an interview with CNN that Israeli contractors built the system under Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital that Israel now claims is being used for military bunkers, tunnels, command posts, and even hostage storage by Hamas, giving Israel’s military pretext to strike targets usually protected under the rules of war.

Ehud Barak, who’s served as Israel’s Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, among other governmental posts, told CNN that the Israelis are actually responsible for building the purported system of tunnels and bunkers beneath the Al-Shifa hospital and claims that the system serves as a “junction” for a wider underground system controlled by Hamas and used for war-fighting purposes.

“Can I just start by asking you to, what is your view of whether your government, your military, has done a good enough job of proving their claim that there was a major command center and bunker under Al-Shifa [Hospital],” the CNN interviewer asked Barak, who appeared in the segment by video stream.

“It’s already known for many years that the bunkers that originally were built by Israeli contractors under Al-Shifa were used as a command post of the Hamas and as kind of a junction of similar tunnels, part of this system,” Barak said. “I don’t know to say to what extent. It is major. It’s probably not the only kind of command post. There are others under other hospitals or in other sensitive places but it for sure has been used by Hamas, even during this conflict.”

“When you say it was built by Israeli engineers, did you misspeak?” the reporter asked Barak.

“No!” he replied.

“You know, decades ago we were running the place so we helped them,” Barak went on. “It was decades, many decades ago…four decades ago, that we helped them to build these bunkers in order to enable more, uh, more space for the operation of the hospital within the very limited size of this compound.”

“Ok. Alright. Well, that – that’s sort of throwing me a little bit,” said the CNN reporter. “So these were there for a long, long time but you’re claiming or they’re claiming that they’re used as a major command center. Anyway, the fact of the matter is that as yet, they have not shown conclusive proof of that.”

As the CNN reporter mentioned in the interview with Ehud Barak, while the Israeli government and military have claimed for weeks that an elaborate system of tunnels and bunkers exists beneath Gaza, and that it connects to massive underground command posts and weapons depots beneath hospitals, nothing confirming this claim has actually been revealed and Israel has drawn increased scrutiny as it’s continued pounding civilian areas, like the Al-Shifa hospital, with military attacks.

CNN’s news cameras caught a masked woman in Ohio stuffing a ballot box on live TV during the 2020 Presidential Election, which CNN and other corporate media outlets claim was “safe and secure” and not riddled with unprecedented levels of fraud from both government officials and paid political hacks.

CNN’s cameras were set up beside “the only ballot drop box in Cuyahoga County, Ohio” during early voting in the 2020 election, and captured a lone woman dumping a heaping handful of ballots that obviously belonged to a large group of people. There’s at least one massive problem with this entire situation, considering that ballot harvesting is ILLEGAL in Ohio.

“You can see this woman right here, casting her vote,” the correspondent told the cameras, before asking her if she’d voted for “Reagan or Carter,” jokingly referring to the 1980 – not 2020 – Presidential Election.

“Carter!” the woman responded.

As CNN’s cameras got a few steps closer to her, the huge pile of ballots in her hand was revealed, but the CNN correspondent said nothing as she dumped them into the drop box, instead playing it off like the entire situation was normal.

Watch the video footage below:

Under Ohio election law, it appears that CNN caught the woman, who is apparently a Democrat considering her “Carter” response to CNN’s 1980 election question, engaging in illegal ballot harvesting.

According to Ohio’s laws surrounding ballot drop boxes, which were implemented all over the country as the uni-party used COVID to illegally change election laws and thrust the 2020 presidential race into chaos, “a registered voter may use this secure receptacle to deposit their absentee ballot or that of a close family member.”

“Ohio law prohibits ballot harvesting. Anyone who possesses or delivers the absentee ballot of another person (unless a close family member), may be guilty of a Felony of the Fourth Degree, subject to a prison term of up to 18 months and/or a fine of up to $5,000.”

Corporate media is walking back its unfounded claims that Hamas fighters beheaded dozens of babies during a murderous incursion into Israel, and the Israeli government not only says it can’t verify the beheading rumors but is now refusing to investigate the claims altogether.

The walking back of Hamas beheading claims comes after virtually the entire corporate media and war hawk political establishment parroted the unfounded story, in what appears to have been a propagandist effort to drum up support for anti-Hamas military action and American support of the Israeli war cause.

On Tuesday, when beheading claims were kicked into high gear, CNN correspondent Nic Robertson reported from the scene of a liberated Israeli kibbutz that Hamas fighters had beheaded children there.

“This is the saddest part of liberating and taking back control of this kibbutz,” reported Robertson. “[…]It’s been a two-day fight, there are bodies everywhere. There were so many murdered members of the kibbutz,” he added, before claiming that residents had their “heads cut.”

“Men, women, children, hands bound, shot, executed, heads cut,” said Robertson.

Just days ago, @CNN reporter @NicRobertsonCNN reported from the scene of an Israeli kibbutz that Hamas fighters had beheaded children there.

Now, CNN is reporting that these claims CAN NOT BE CONFIRMED by them or the Israeli government.

Now, just two days later, CNN is abandoning Robertson’s claims, reporting that an “Israeli official says [the Israeli] government cannot confirm [that] babies were beheaded in [a] Hamas attack.”

NATIONAL FILE Reported on October 10th: IDF Can’t Confirm Viral Claim That Hamas Beheaded Babies

The apparently false beheading claims have drawn widespread comparisons to false claims made in the run-up to the Persian Gulf War, when “eyewitness” testimony claimed that Iraqi troops had raided Kuwaiti hospitals, ripped sick babies out of incubators, and brutally killed them.

Those claims were central to calls for American intervention in the conflict and were later shown to have been completely made up.

While it is unclear exactly where the beheading rumors originated, the reporting of journalist Bel Trew has been widely cited as confirmation that Hamas beheaded 40 Israeli babies as, after the initial beheading reports emerged, Trew claimed in a post to X that she’d been informed of the alleged beheadings by Israeli soldiers.

However, Trew’s original post on the alleged beheadings has been deleted and much like CNN, she’s now walking the story back.

“I just wanted to clarify that I did not tweet 40 babies had been beheaded,” Trew wrote in an October 11th post to X, the day after the claims went viral. “I tweeted that foreign media had been told women and children had been decapitated but we had not been shown the bodies.”

Notably, Trew turned off replies to her walk-back post, blocking out the voices of all who many question her narrative.

In addition to members of the media, a laundry list of high-profile politicians have parroted the beheading claims, including Florida Governor and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis.

During an interview with CNN (which, as mentioned, amplified beheading claims before walking them back) DeSantis mocked those who dared to question the media narrative, saying “This garbage out there, you hear things, people are saying that the babies really somehow weren’t killed, that this is all just manufactured. I understand there’s conspiracy theories that can go on but we’ve got to put that garbage aside and we’ve got to stand with Israel.”

On the other hand, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has taken major heat after refusing to address a Fox News reporter, who followed her through a hallway asking her to disavow Hamas for “beheading babies.” The network does not yet appear to have walked their claims back.

As the beheading claims implode, the Israeli government has not only been unable to confirm that the attacks took place, but is actually refusing to investigate the allegations in the first place, saying that conducting such an investigation would be “disrespectful for the dead.”

CNN aired a news segment documenting the alternate reality that Joe Biden has created for himself through his long-term “pattern” of “inventing” stories about his past. Biden, over the years, has become notorious for telling make-believe stories and recently told a tall tale in which he falsely claimed to have been “looking through the gates of hell” at Ground Zero the day after the 9/11 attacks.

“This president has a pattern at this point of either inventing or embellishing stories about his own past, his biography,” a CNN reporter said on air, as he loaded up a long list of Biden’s demonstrable lies.

“He did it three times in one speech last month alone!” the CNN reporter went on.

“And that’s not all, there’s some more serious ones in my view,” he went on to say after rattling off a few recent Biden fibs.

“He said that he used to drive a tractor-trailer, used to drive and 18-wheeler – never happened!”

“Whatever his intentions,” the reporter concluded, giving Biden somewhat of an escape hatch from personal accountability, “whether it’s foggy memory about stuff that’s going on decades ago or a deliberate embellishment, this is an unfortunate pattern that keeps coming up again and again with Joe Biden.”

As CNN mentioned in its report on Joe Biden’s false reality, recently, when Biden bucked presidential tradition and skipped out on Ground Zero commemorations to mark the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, he instead addressed a crowd at a military base in Alaska.

At that time, Biden falsely claimed that he had been on the scene at New York City’s Ground Zero on September 12th, 2001, where he said he was “looking through the gates of hell.”

As National File reported:

“Ground Zero in New York,” Biden fraudulently recounted from behind a podium in Alaska. “I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building. And I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell. It looked so devastating because of the way – from where you could stand.”

But in reality, it never happened.

CNN is attacking the African nation of Uganda as “anti-gay” as two gay Ugandan men face the death penalty after being charged under the country’s law prosecuting “aggravated homosexuality,” which is defined as the homosexual rape of children, the disabled, the elderly, and one’s own family members.

CNN seemingly backed homosexuals who rape children and the disabled in a post the pro-gay corporate media network made to X this week, calling the prosecution of two homosexual alleged rapists under the country’s aggravated homosexuality statute “anti-gay.”

“Two men in Uganda are facing separate charges of ‘aggravated homosexuality,’ an offense punishable by death under the country’s controversial new anti-gay laws,” CNN wrote in the X post, not once mentioning that both the men charged are accused homosexual rapists, with one of them having allegedly raped a young boy and the other having allegedly raped a disabled person.

In a CNN news article linked in the X post, the network does concede that Ugandans facing the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality” are responsible for raping children, though CNN doesn’t refer to the act as rape and instead calls it “sex with children.”

“’Aggravated homosexuality,’ according to the much-criticized act, involves incest, sex with children, as well as people with disabilities or the elderly,” CNN admitted in the article.

As previously reported by National File, earlier this year, the African nation of Uganda enacted legislation giving the death penalty to gay pedophiles, and others found guilty of “aggravated homosexuality” which, as previously mentioned, is defined as the homosexual rape of a child, a disabled person, an elderly person, or one’s own family member.

The reaction to the law in the Western World has been one of outrage, with the Biden Administration repeatedly threatening sanctions against Uganda as a direct result of that nation executing gay pedophiles, which the US federal government claims is a grotesque violation of human rights.
