I Prayed have prayed
Reading Time: 6 minutes

What did you feel as you watched the debate? Certainly, I think we can all agree it wasn’t as contentious as the first debate with the two-minute muted mic rule. Immediately following the debate, it was announced that fifty million people have already cast their vote. That’s a huge concern and why I’m not a fan of early voting. Because as the old saying goes, knowledge is power, and the amount of knowledge and breaking news we have received about the Biden family and information from this last debate is a game changer that may well have changed the minds of some early voters.

Let’s fact-check candidate Biden, using his own words:

(Note: There are hyperlinks throughout this article supporting this fact-check, often using video footage of Biden contradicting his debate statements.)

1) Biden: said he never called Trump “xenophobic” regarding the travel ban, but that it was a different context.

FALSE: President Trump was one of the first, if not the first, to place a travel ban on China which took place on January 31. Of that ban, Biden criticized him and called him xenophobic. Although Biden now claims that was in a different context, it was completely in response to the travel ban.

2) Biden: “40 nations had already moved” to restrict travel from China “before the president moved.” “We started off awfully slow.”

FALSE: On January 30, WHO declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a public health emergency of international concern. They did not recommend any travel or trade restrictions against China or other affected regions at that time. However, President Trump, in an early and bold move, instituted a travel ban on China the next day. The president was mocked for his actions by Biden and the media.

3) Biden: “I’m not banning fracking! I never said it!”

FALSE: Not only did Biden say it, so did his running mate, Kamala Harris. And they have both said it a multitude of times while out campaigning.

4) Biden: “No one lost coverage with Obamacare.”

FALSE: Right here at Intercessors for America, one of the staff members shared, “Our perfectly good plan was deemed illegal because it didn’t have maternity coverage. We were forced into the Marketplace. Further, another employee had coverage through a spouse’s job with Microsoft. Once Obamacare was passed, Microsoft dumped their ‘Cadillac’ coverage for employees and the deductibles have steadily risen since then. They now offer what is basically catastrophic coverage, which is what I have with the Marketplace. As a result, neither of our families go to the doctor.”

6) Biden: “I don’t see red states and blue states. What I see is American, United States.”

FALSE: Yet in the debate, Biden contradicted that statement when he responded during the segment regarding COVID: “Look at the states having a spike, they are the red states, the states in the Midwest, in the upper Midwest, that is where the spike is occurring significantly.” Biden’s statement was false, but immediately showed he did see states as either red or blue.

7) The moderator claimed 500 kids were separated at the border with no parents because of the Trump administration’s policies and asked the President about it. In his response, the president turned to Biden and asked him, “Who put the kids in cages, Joe?” Although the moderator, Joe Biden, and Michelle Obama have all tried to make this an issue under the Trump administration, the truth is the cages were built under the Obama administration, who began the practice of separating children from their parents.

In June 18, 2014, a photo shows two female detainees sleep in a holding cell, as the children are separated by age group and gender, at a US Customs and Border Protection center in Nogales, Arizona.

8) Biden tried to refute President Trump’s statement that “You (Biden) have done nothing other than the crime bill which put tens of thousands of Black men, mostly, in jail.”

TRUE: Criminal justice experts and critics say Biden’s work on crime legislation helped lay the groundwork for mass incarceration that has devastated America’s Black communities. In 1993, Biden boasted on the Senate floor, “The truth is every major crime bill since 1976 that’s come out of this Congress, every minor crime bill, has had the name of the Democratic Senator from the state of Delaware, Joe Biden.” Biden’s actions took place at a time when violent crime was surging in many cities. His work culminated in 1994, when as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he helped pass a vast catchall crime bill known as the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. The law included strong punitive measures desired by law enforcement, created 60 new death penalty offenses, gave states incentives to build prisons, set aside money for 100,000 new police and codified a “three strikes” rule.

8) Biden: “I never received a penny from a foreign government.”

MISLEADING: While there were numerous other false-statements made during the debate, the most concerning is the this. Hunter Biden’s computer emails which now reveal that Joe Biden, referred to as “the Big Guy” in the emails, was perhaps correct that although HE had never received money directly from a foreign government, the emails reveal clearly his son did and was then required to give his dad 50% of the take.

With this breaking news, why was this not a huge component of the debate? Had the scandal been against President Trump, it most certainly would have been. As it was, the issue was barely discussed as the moderator kept interrupting the President to change the subject each time the discussion led to this issue.

If you are reading this and feel this fact-check is one-sided for President Trump, imagine how conservatives have felt watching these debates? Both had liberal, biased moderators who contended with the president as if they were tag-teaming with Biden. Admittedly, in the second debate, it was not as noticeable as the first, but even in the second debate, the moderator interrupted President Trump 24 times as he gave responses, whereas she only interrupted Biden twice.

The “fact-checks” coming from the liberal media are without question one-sided for Biden and in fact untruthful. For example, a “fact-check” from the L.A. Times addressed 40 statements from President Trump, whereas they address three from Biden. Their assessments were also not truthful. The unbalanced focus on Trump wasn’t because Biden didn’t make false statements, as proven above, it was because their point was not to “fact-check” the debate as claimed, but an attempt to discredit the president and sway an election.

The problem with this “fact-checking” is the L.A. Times and other media outlets are called “news” sources. That means they should be held to the journalistic standard in which any bias on the part of the writer cannot be seen. That is clearly not the fact as the entire article is demeaning about the president and intended to discredit his words.

So why is this article showing my support of the President?

First, it is in support of truth. And since the mainstream media is unwilling to fact-check Biden, I feel it is important that people see that he was indeed untruthful and yet allowed to get away with it.

Second, I do not claim to be a journalist with this article. This is an opinion piece. In this form of writing, the reader can see and hear my opinion. That is not what should be happening from our news media in “news” articles, but sadly, it is all that happens in the news media anymore.

Toward the end of the debate, the President turned to Biden and said, “You know, Joe, I ran because of you,” the President stated. “Because you did a poor job. If I thought you did a good job, I would have never run.”

And that is how I will conclude. With forty-seven years in government, what one thing can Biden say (truthfully) that he did to make America better?

Enough said.

It doesn’t surprise me. I t is also my understanding that some of the democrats are voting twice to try “winning” (actually, stealing the election). Totally despicable!! How do they sleep at night?

Another item I noticed, but haven’t heard anyone pick up on was that Biden “repeated” what Trump said in first debate, saying that Trump told the Proud Boys “to stand down and stand ready.” Trump actually said “stand down and stand by.” In debate 1, it felt to me like Trump was just flustered in his speech & his intent was to tell people to stop (could have used a better term than “stand by” though!). Of course, all the news/media harped on that and twisted it. In debate 2, it felt like Biden had purposely chosen a similar, but even more inciteful phrase, misquoting Trump using “stand ready.” I wish people had been quick to point out Biden’s inaccurate quote, but at the same time, I am also glad if they let that controversy die out rather than fan it into flame again.

Karen, I have read your article and share your loyalty to the truth. My dear brother, who was a true journalist, died of brain cancer 10 years ago and I have to wonder what he would say about the huge mess that the media has become. By the way, I did vote early, just this past Saturday. I had my mind made up the moment I heard that Joe was the democratic nominee. (I volunteer at a pregnancy support center 2 days a week). I was beyond happy and proud when Trump attended the pro-life march this year. I pray every day that our fellow Americans will know the truth when they hear it and vote the lying crooks out of Washington DC.

I hope when President Trump is re-elected he can see that something is done about the lying media. There should be criminal charges for smearing anyone especially a government official of any party.

Nice Karen! Thank you for putting into words what was blatantly obvious to me – all I can do is pray when Biden is speaking, that helps me sit through these “lopsided” debates.
May God have mercy and heal our Land.
We repent for not being the voice of the unborn child.

Now the fake news is yet AGAIN spreading fear about covid spike. So conveniently close to the election. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered. In Jesus name I pray Amen

Thank you so much for this article and thank you for being honest that it is strictly your opinion because you are not a journalist. We are yes very tired of journalists giving their opinions because that’s not what they are supposed to do.

Did we expect anything different? Lies are exposed. Pray for Biden’s salvation. There was no real debate only repeating what we already know! Let’s move on to the real issues! Ask God to reveal truth.

Karen, thank you for inserting much needed truth into the political claims. I watched Joe Biden speaking this morning. I felt my heart pounding at one time, so angry at the falsehoods being blatantly hurled at President Trump. Lord, may journalist be convicted and repent of their dishonesty in allowing false statements go unchallenged and in refusing to accurately report accounts that might damage their favorite candidate.

    Oh, I appreciate verifications; that article may be just for people like me. I committed to praying for Presidents 4 1/2 years ago. I do not like politics. It has been challenging at times. I finally started praying for God to let the ‘truth’ come out on each perplexing situation — whether good or bad for our President or America. God has answered over and over again.

    The truth often makes me sad for the America I love so dearly but I am certain God answers prayers. I wish I had prayed seriously for the previous administration for all 8 years. God would have helped them, too.

    I am so disappointed in Christians that do not see what is going on in the media bias and in our culture due to liberal progressive agendas…… that they as Christians….if they truly are seeking God as they say ….. why then are they not able to see this..

      Please, please, understand that we are called to be salt and light. Being political is, most definitely, Biblical! We are to have a Christians world view in every area of our lives and act accordingly. The reason we have legalized murder of babies, cultural confusion of sexual identity, lack of respect for traditional marriage and family, and lack of respect of our history and America is because the church has failed to be the salt and light which includes holding the line in government, being political.
      Please, Father, forgive us for not understanding this, but, please help the church wake up, arise, and shine in America. Please forgive the church for allowing the devil to occupy territory that You have assigned to us, Your people. Because of complacency harm has come to our children, nation, and the church itself. You can help us; I place my hope in You. Please activate us in Your truth and power to reclaim what has been lost to the enemy. For Your Name’s sake!

    If people aren’t listening to AM conservative talk radio they could be quite ignorant of what the truth is about much of what is happening in politics that affects all of us. We here are interceding for America, and clarifying points of truth vs error in a pre-election debate is a salient discussion to have. I very much appreciate this venue as a source of relevant true information about national and world events, from a biblical worldview. Having our eyes open to what is error and what is truth in our world helps us when we go to God for the answers He provides!

    Wanda,
    God never wanted us to keep politics out of this spiritual, God-led venue, or any venue, for that matter. That is a man-made rule. He tells us quite the opposite…in ALL your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. See Prov. 3:5-6 He does NOT say in ‘all your ways,except politics, acknowledge him…’ Ask the LORD to reveal to heal IN JESUS NAME. Everything is spiritual to those who are spiritual. Many in the WORD were fearless in approaching government officials about God’s WORD, thus confronting these officials in their disobedience to GOD…Daniel, David, Josiah, Paul, Peter, John, to name a few. Now is NOT the time for us to shrink back, but to boldly move forward led by the Spirit of God. No more fearing what people think, for that leads to death. Now is the time to fear what God says, for that leads to life! PRAISE GOD! See Prov. 19:23, 14:12,27. Give your disappointment to the LORD for He wants to take it. He hears. He knows. He sees you and loves you and knows your hurt. Ps. 139, Is. 26:3-4. Open our eyes O LORD, so we can see where we have not been agreeing with You. Show us where we have been agreeing with the enemy and help us to no longer take the father of lies word for anything. We repent for where we have agreed with the enemy and we break off ALL agreements with him IN JESUS NAME. We want to take YOU @ YOUR WORD, YOUR WORD ALONE!!!! Thank You JESUS! Love, your sister in Christ, Joanna

Good article, bringing out the truth on misrepresentations. 2nd debate much better than first, but obvious bias still very evident and how they let Joe get away with so many statements that are not true, but no one challenges him on them, because they can’t see it, they are in the same darkness, drinking from the same well.

Heavenly Father, In the name of Lord of Lords and King of Kings, Jesus thank You for revealing Yourself through Your people. Thank You for those who work tirelessly to bring truth to the forefront. Thank You for Karen Hardin and her willingness to serve you, the Truth, by hard work and extensive research.

Lord, I am remembering as I write that You assure us in Your Word ” greater is He that is in us than the evil forces in the world.” (not a direct quote). Christians are the ones in whom you dwell. We are the stones in Your Church as You are the cornerstone. This is very comforting, Lord. You are the “Great I Am”. There is none other. One day every knee will bow to You.

Lord, raise us an honest press in America. Raise up those who report the truth for truth’s sake. Abolish news media power that distorts and withholds truth for political power, or their own largesse. Fortify strengthen those individuals and news agency that report the truth. Clear the media field for them to be heard by all Americans. I rebuke in Jesus’ name the censorship promoted by media giants like Facebook and Twitter.

Lord have mercy, mercy on us. Amen

Thank you, Karen, for pointing this out. No big surprise here! Lord, please give all those who have not yet voted, both wisdom and discernment of spirits. People need to see what a miserable, pathological liar that Joe Biden is. I thank you that President Trump was able to forcefully, and presidentially, able to call Biden out when he needed to. May Your truth prevail in this upcoming election!

We know the media is biased! It is evident in many ways!
With millions of people praying some of this deception is being lifted and the Lord will reveal to the American people what is true and right!
What goes around , comes around to hinder Joe Biden!
The word of God reveals, when we cheat and lie and steal we are digging our own hole and then we fall in it ! (I pray that he will succeed in his personal life and don’t wish harm to any one)
He was lying a blue streak!!!
The American people are smarter than this, they know better, at least a large majority are smarter than this, the Biden’s do not have a positive history so he can’t really hide, through all this lying.
Neither of the leaders are perfect,but if you listen to this debate real closely, even with out being bias, President Trump carried a lot more power and authority, it was how he delivered his words and the spirit in which he released them! He already proved he healed the economy and did more than any other President in history, President Trump we are very proud of you!
He also spend more time explaining clearly what his policies are. Joe Biden tried to act Presidential but he was spending too much time fighting back, and not enough time on delivering solid policy. He does not have much to go on because he never did anything to help American’s!
To us it sounded like he was acting like a poor loser, a teenager that was trying to gain control, without any ground to stand on! Of course I understand Trump was tough on him and backed him into a corner in a good way,so of course it was tough!
What matters is what happens in the end, God is on our side and millions of people are seriously in prayer and lies or no lies, God wants to show us He is more than able to help win this election .We could win again with a landslide win because Jesus is Lord and He cares deeply for this nations !
You are free to have your own opinion,

This opinion article is TRUTH
THANKYOU to Karen Hardin for giving us the facts, something the msm falsely reported as well as the “ fact” checkers

Praise God for His Holy Word Isaiah 54:17
Not only will God dismantle weapons formed against our nation but He will refute every tongue!
Revengence is mine says the Lord
I believe also God will pour out His great mercy for America again in rendering the evil tongues and evil schemes against our president absolutely powerless!
I think of a balloon 🎈 filled with “hot air”(the liberal left)
And God putting a pin in that big ballon. It falls flat!
Praise our holy and merciful and powerful God✝️🇺🇸

The Lord knows the truth, and HE will reign FOREVER ! I have sent an emaill to over 50 people that sets out how Comunisism emerges without even a shot being fired, as told by Khrushchev at the UN in 1959 as he pounded of the podium with his shoe. He said,” the USA will become Communist through the implementation of socilistic laws in the next 3 generations”. We cannot allow this to happen, and a vote to re-elect Trump and other Republicans can insure it does NOT happen. Thank you JESUS for hearing our prayers and controlling the hearts and souls of the people >

Your will be done in this matter. Please allow this media moguls who think they are in control to be afraid knowing that YOU ARE in control even on their souls. Allow these people to repent and do what is right to fact check and report the news as it is not twist and turn to meet their enemy agenda.
In Jesus name we pray and thank You. Amen.
