WHAT?! This Congressman Just Announced He's Running for President In Upcoming Election

And here we were thinking that we knew what to expect going into the election; a showdown between Joe Biden and President Donald Trump. It still is that, but a twist has been thrown into the mix…we have another candidate running.

Yep. Justin Amash just announced that he's going to running for president in this coming election in 6 1/2 months. He's not running as a Republican, he gave that up. He's not running as a Democrat either. He will be joining the race as a Libertarian even though he identifies in Congress as an Independent.

This isn't really too unusual as Bernie Sanders is an Independent but he runs as a Democrat.

More than three years after first seriously contemplating it, one year after coming out in favor of impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, nine months after leaving the Republican Party, two months after hitting pause on his congressional reelection campaign, and just 22 days before the Libertarian Party (L.P.) is scheduled to select its own nominee, Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, the most libertarian member of Congress, has decided to form an exploratory committee about running for president.

"Americans are ready for practical approaches based in humility and trust of the people," the congressman tweeted Tuesday night. "We're ready for a presidency that will restore respect for our Constitution and bring people together."

The 40-year-old son of Middle Eastern immigrants (mom is from Syria, dad a Palestinian refugee) now seeks to become the limited-government standard-bearer against septuagenarian big-government competitors Donald Trump and Joe Biden. He would certainly be the most high-profile presidential candidate, and the first to concurrently hold elected office, in the Libertarian Party's half-century of existence.

I used to like Amash, but now he's totally shifted to the point that he's almost a Democrat.

He even voted for impeaching President Trump on both charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Trump: Biden Allegations ‘May be False’ but ‘He Should Respond’

Of all people to be falsely accused of sexual misconduct, President Donald Trump holds a reigning trophy. While I do not doubt the allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden, I do commend Trump for calling on Biden to at least defend himself and address the situation.

On Thursday, Trump called on Biden to respond to the allegations against him from a former Senate aide.

Chinese Accuse US of History in ‘Bacteriological Warfare’

China’s state newspaper China Daily published a column on Thursday that accuses the United States of having a history of “bacteriological warfare.” Is it possible that the communist country is attempting to pawn off their dirty deeds onto America?

The article implies that the U.S. military brought the virus over to Wuhan, China. I guess it’s just a coincidence that they have labs in Wuhan that specialize in such matters.
