News and commentary about President^* Joe Biden

Introduction by The Editor:
The news media declared Joe Biden to be the winner of the 2020 presidential election on November 4th, long before any state had so certified. Then the Biden handlers set up the fictitious "Office of the President Elect" for his television appearances, to promote the perception that he actually won fair and square. Officially, there is no such office. There is nothing magical about any president's "First 100 Days" in office, yet that's all the news media could talk about in January. One might be tempted to ask, What's the rush? Indeed, Joe Biden is now acting like a dictator, just like Barack H. Obama, issuing dozens of unilateral decrees, in the form of executive orders, the purpose of which is to legislate from the White House all the policies that the Congress wouldn't be able to pass, and immediately implement the Democrats' socialist platform. But Joe Biden is just a puppet: He is a senile old man who will sign anything his handlers tell him to sign. He will read whatever words come up on the teleprompter, just like Barack H. Obama. He is apparently trying to weaken America's economy, just like Barack H. Obama. The national news media are doing everything possible to portray Joe Biden in a positive light, just as they did for Barack H. Obama. The Biden presidency is starting to look like Obama's third term.

Obama, no attempt has (yet) been made to sub-categorize articles about Biden's unwise decisions, mental state, cloud of corruption, or other topics — with the exception of his favorable treatment by the press, and his long list of objectionable appointments.

An overview of Biden's career:
The Worst Presidents in American History. Joe Biden earned his designation as the most venal and corrupt president in American history as he has a long history of venality and malfeasance which began almost immediately after he was first sworn in as a senator in 1973 and has extended throughout his 52-year political career. In August of 2019, Politico International highlighted nearly 45 years of Biden's unscrupulous family machinations. Joe's willingness to use his office for financial gain dates back to 1973, Joe's first year in the Senate when he demanded a seat on the Senate Banking Committee (which oversees bank regulatory agencies). Soon afterward, his brother James, a 23-year-old business neophyte with a net worth of less than $10,000, was persuaded to open a nightclub. James used Biden family "connections" to obtain $165,000 ($1.2 million in 2024 dollars) in mostly unsecured loans from a failing Delaware bank. Within less than 18 months the venture started to unravel, and James was unable to make the loan payments. Joe intervened with the bank's chairman to make certain the bank did not harass James for payment or foreclose on the nightclub. Not long thereafter, Joe Biden met with the senior vice-president of a bank also on the watch list as a potential failing institution. Fortuitously, around the same time that bank decided to give James a $500,000 ($3.2 million in 2024 dollar) loan. The nightclub venture soon failed, leaving behind a trail of unpaid loans and debts. The fact that Joe served on the Senate Banking Committee and his brother, with no business experience, received unheard-of loans from two banks under scrutiny was, no doubt, a mere coincidence. Thus began a pattern that for continued for 47 years.

Overview #2:
Biden is the most amoral President in US history. The President pretends to be Catholic but clearly does not live by Catholic tenets. He supports abortion up until the moment of birth. This past week, he sent a cease-and-desist letter to the priests who have been ministering to Catholic patients at Walter Reed Hospital. He intends to contract outside persons to provide Catholic ministry. While VP, he supported the persecution of the Little Sisters of the Poor for refusing to provide abortion services to their employees. In short, he is about as Catholic and Christian as Nancy Pelosi, another faux Catholic, a classic elitist who has nothing but contempt for actual Catholics, actual Christians. There are years of evidence, including from Biden's own daughter's diary, that Biden is a pedophile or at least has pedophilic tendencies. He cannot keep his hands off young female children; he fondles and sniffs them. Tara Reade's account of his molestation of her years ago is credible. [...] The sadly mentally incapacitated Biden is a tool of the worst people on the planet: the Communist Party of China and the Machiavellian scoundrels of the WEF. [...] Biden's weakness has reverberated throughout the world. His thwarting of our energy independence, his absurd implementation of all the covid restrictions that submarined the US economy and his vaccine mandates that have killed thousands will be his legacy. This President's obsession with LGBT issues, especially the transgenderism of children, proves his evil intent beyond all other issues.

Overview #3:
A Guide to Understanding the Hoax of the Century. The laptops are real. The FBI has known this since 2019, when it first took possession of them. When the New York Post attempted to report on them, dozens of the most senior national security officials in the United States lied to the public, claiming the laptops were likely part of a Russian "disinformation" plot. Twitter, Facebook, and Google, operating as fully integrated branches of the state security infrastructure, carried out the government's censorship orders based on that lie. The press swallowed the lie and cheered on the censorship. The story of the laptops has been framed as many things, but the most fundamental truth about it is that it was the successful culmination of the years-long effort to create a shadow regulatory bureaucracy built specifically to prevent a repeat of Trump's 2016 victory. It may be impossible to know exactly what effect the ban on reporting about Hunter Biden's laptops had on the 2020 vote, but the story was clearly seen as threatening enough to warrant an openly authoritarian attack on the independence of the press. The damage to the country's underlying social fabric, in which paranoia and conspiracy have been normalized, is incalculable. As recently as February, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez referred to the scandal as the "half-fake laptop story" and as "an embarrassment," months after even the Bidens had been forced to acknowledge that the story is authentic.

Recap and overview of Biden's senility:
Dethroning Biden. Joe Biden's cognitive decline has been obvious since he launched his presidential 'run' in 2019. Even a fellow Democrat challenger taunted him over this during a 2020 primary debate. But the DNC establishment thought Biden would appear to be an avuncular centrist figure that would appeal to the general public. Hence despite Biden's abysmal beginning in the primaries, his rivals were encouraged to drop out. Biden became the nominee with 2739 delegates. This has been a tradition for Democrats. During the 2015 Democrat Primaries, Bernie Sanders, who had more ground support and voter passion, was sidelined in favor of the DNC establishment's choice Hillary Clinton. Once he was 'elected', the cognitively impaired Biden was used as a rubber stamp to push their agenda. During his 'Presidency,' Biden's decline was mocked by comedians in Saudi Arabia. However, 'comedians' in New York engaged in PR for Biden. The DNC PR agencies that masquerade as the news media followed the diktats. Biden's myriad dementia-driven gaffes were dismissed.

Laptop recap and overview:
Hunter Biden: Looking at that laptop that wasn't mine violated my privacy. After Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal broke down, he changed lawyers and changed strategies. His former lawyer was a deal maker. His new one, Abbe Lowell, is famed for his confrontational, slash-and-burn approach. His latest move is another flamethrower blast.It's a lawsuit to contain the troubles caused by Hunter Biden's infamous laptop computer, the one he left at a Delaware repair shop but failed to pick up and pay for. When he dropped it off, he signed the shop's standard agreement saying that, if he didn't return and pay for the work, the shop would then own the computer its contents. The computer repair shop owner examined the data on the laptop as a result, and this has caused a world of hurt for the Bidens. The repairman gave the computer to intermediaries who gave it to the New York Post, the only newspaper that was interested. Since then, the Biden family has been dealing with the consequences, mostly by denying the computer was really Hunter's or the data from it was faked — claims which have been disproven by two different US media investigations. The idea that the data isn't Hunter's has also been contradicted by IRS whistleblower testimony. Nonetheless Team Biden has battled hard to suppress reporting of the data. This suppression wasn't designed to help Hunter. It was designed to help his father win the 2000 election. That's why father, son, and the team surrounding them denied everything about the computer, claimed it was all a Kremlin fabrication, and tried to prevent newspapers from reporting about it and social media from discussing it or even circulating the newspaper articles.

Overview and recap:
Biden's Criminal Enterprise. President Joe Biden's questionable activities go back to his first year as Vice President in 2009 and continued throughout his eight years serving in the two-term Obama administration, punctuated with son Hunter being paid $1 million a year as a board member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma in 2014. That role continued for more than four years, with a large $10 million dollar payoff from Burisma coming to Hunter and Joe Biden after the latter blackmailed Ukraine by threatening the withholding of $1 billion in U.S. aid unless prosecutor general Victor Shokin was fired from the corruption investigation of Burisma in March of 2016 — an investigation that would have exposed fraud, including questionable payments to Hunter Biden. FBI documents refer to the two $5 million payments to Hunter and Joe Biden as a 'bribe' paid by Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky. The case for impeaching President Joe Biden goes beyond bribery and emolument high crimes related to Ukraine. In 2014, Hunter Biden introduced his father, then Vice President, to Kazakhstan oligarch Kenes Rakishev at a dinner. Records and testimony obtained by James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee show that at that time of introducing Rakishev to Vice President Biden, Hunter Biden and his business partner Devon Archer were working on a deal involving Burisma, on whose board they both served, and a Chinese company that would have been based in Kazakhstan. To facilitate the deal and his relationship with Archer and the Bidens, Rakishev wired $142,300 to Rosemont Seneca — a shell company created by Devon and Hunter — the exact amount needed to fund Hunter's sportscar purchase the next day.

Loving Dad Joe Engages Son in Life of Crime. Organized crime bosses protect themselves from legal jeopardy by insulating themselves from the dirty work. They use underlings to sell their product, collect the money, launder the money, and if necessary take the fall. If a legal price is to be paid, it's paid by the expendables. The boss keeps them quiet with hush money, legal assistance, and witness intimidation. Does anyone believe that a cartel boss helps an arrested underling out of love? Nope. He does it in service to his own selfish interests — which brings me to Hunter Biden's loving father, Joe. We've learned a great deal about the Biden family business in the last three years from abandoned laptops, congressional investigations, and federal whistleblowers. We know that Hunter was working on a deal with a Chinese energy company in which 10 percent would go to the "big guy." We learned from Hunter's business partner, Tony Bobulinski, that the "big guy" was Hunter's code name for his dad, Joe Biden. Oddly, Bobulinski was never interviewed by Biden's consigliere or his crew, the Department of Justice.

'Someone's got to go to prison'. [Scroll down] Then there are the extraordinarily criminal activities of Biden's son Hunter. The media and the CIA, FBI and DOJ all knew the Laptop from Hell was authentic in December of 2019 but suppressed it and/or claimed it was "Russian propaganda." That includes William Barr, a wolf in sheep's clothing if there ever were one. The powers-that-were covered up the existence of his laptop, chock full of proof of Hunter's many perversions — drugs, meth, cocaine, prostitutes including very young girls, and his many schemes to shakedown millions of dollars from foreign actors for who-knows-what in return. But one thing is clear beyond doubt, given what the Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith laid out before us on Wednesday, information gleaned from IRS whistleblowers. No taxes were paid on millions of ill-gotten dollars. When he did pay taxes, he deducted his payments to prostitutes, sex clubs and porn sites. How's that for chutzpah? As someone commented the other day, this is a family of feral dogs! They continue to disavow a biological granddaughter. Hunter sells his pathetic paintings in some sort of obvious money laundering scheme. And poor, old, demented Joe continues to deny any malfeasance. He denies he ever had anything to do with Hunter's business dealings. Once a grifter, always a grifter. The Biden family is essentially a mob of the mafia-like variety.

Timely news and commentary:

Biden Didn't Pardon. He Erased the Law. The media's interest in presidential pardons seems sudden. Just a few months ago, President Biden granted a blanket clemency to 1,500 criminals in a single day; overruled federal law on capital punishment by rescinding it for 37 of the 40 federal death row prisoners; and nullified federal drug laws by commuting the sentences of 2,500 alleged "nonviolent drug offenders," in what his White House boasted was "the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history." The [New York] Times is worried about Trump abusing the presidential pardon? If Trump were selling pardons at a card table at Mar-a-Lago like merch at comic con, it could not compare to the lawlessness of Biden using the pardon power to repeal federal law. With the stroke of a pen, the dementia patient — or whomever was functioning as president — thumbed his nose at the legislative and judicial branches, the U.S. Code, his own law enforcement officers, the federal judiciary, and, most of all, citizens voting in a democracy (that thing that dies in darkness).

The Left Knew They Were Lying to Us All Along. Almost as soon as Joe Biden was inaugurated, the left knew that he was physically and mentally unable to serve as president. Indeed, that was the point. Biden's role was designed as a waxen figurine for hard-left agendas that, without the "old Joe Biden from Scranton" pseudo-moderate veneer, could never have been advanced. His handlers operated a nightmare administration: the destruction of deterrence abroad, two theater wars, 12 million illegal aliens, a weaponized justice system, hyperinflation, and $7 trillion more in debt.

Adventures in Politics: When I Was an 'Autopen'. [W]hen word broke that Joe Biden [had] been using the autopen, not to just sign photos to admiring fans — both of them, apparently — all hell broke loose. His staff, aware of Biden's four-year vacation in Lala Land, began using his autopen to sign executive orders, for instance, but most of all, pardons. Biden seemed to authorize thousands of pardons for people in prison or those who might one day face criminal charges — like Hunter — many of whom he'd never heard of. In this, there was nothing specifically significant, except for one small point. Only the president can sign a presidential pardon. Like signing bills into law or signing executive orders, this can't be delegated. A close analogy: when someone stands before a judge in open court, swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, nobody else can do that for him. So, if it turns out that Biden did not personally sign those thousands of pardons, those are not real. Nobody but the president — not even a machine programmed to sign the president's name on his behalf — can issue a pardon. Not the vice president, not the chief of staff, not even Dr. Jill.

Time for the Trump DOJ and FBI to Deal the Pain. Let's start with that autopen pardon thing. The demented eggplant who was masquerading as our president for the previous four years allegedly pardoned hundreds and hundreds of weirdos, losers, mutations, degenerates, and congresscreatures, to the extent that's any different, before his humiliating ejection from office. However, people noticed that these pardons were not signed by hand. Rather, his handlers used an autopen. That's a device that signs someone's name mechanically. Presumably, it is done at the guidance and behest of the person whose name is being affixed to the document. This is where the controversy comes in. Joe Biden seems manifestly unable to have understood what he was doing with regard to these pardons. [...] Here's my take and some people aren't going to like it. He can autopen pardons all day long, and they're absolutely effective. The discrete autopen issue is a certain loser in the courts, and it should be. But the question really isn't how something got signed but, rather, whether Joe Biden actually meant to issue these pardons of all sorts of scumbag criminals or whether he, in his advanced state of dementia, thought he was signing off on a proclamation proclaiming National Ice Cream Cone Day. His competence to issue these pardons is a real issue. Let me give you some more lawyer analysis you might not like. This theory has a practical problem. It's going to be very hard, if not impossible, to prove he didn't know what he was doing. The burden of proof would almost certainly fall on the government to invalidate the pardon rather than on the accused criminal asserting it.

Jenna Ellis: Whether Biden's Autopen Pardons Are Legal Depends On One Crucial Detail. The controversy surrounding former President Joe Biden's use of an autopen to sign pardons has fueled a political and legal debate. President Donald Trump and his allies argue that these pardons are "void" because Biden did not personally sign them. However, legal experts overwhelmingly reject the claim that just the use of an autopen invalidates a pardon. The more significant issue, and the one that could raise real constitutional concerns, is whether Biden himself authorized the pardons — or whether they were issued without his knowledge or without him having the requisite intent to grant clemency.

Joe Biden's First Speech Since Leaving Office Has Funeral Like Feeling — And No One Covered the Event. Joe Biden emerged from his Delaware basement bunker last week to deliver his first speech since leaving office and virtually no one noticed. Since leaving office in January, Biden has only popped his head up to give a pre-recorded message for the DNC's winter meeting. Biden delivered a speech at the National High School Model United Nations (NHSMUN) last week and not one media outlet covered the event. The most popular president in US history who garnered 80 million votes in 2020 gave a speech after leaving office and no one cared or even noticed.

Say, Where Is Joe Biden These Days? On the menu today: President Trump has made the preposterous claim that he can declare Joe Biden's pardons "void, vacant and of no further force and effect." If Trump's argument about his far-reaching, unprecedented presidential powers ever gets up to the Supreme Court, the Supremes will reject that so quickly and overwhelmingly, NBA players will be impressed. But there are at least a few reasons to wonder how much Biden understood what he was signing at any given moment — from Mike Johnson's tale of Biden being unaware of a liquid natural gas export ban, to the fact that in the two months since leaving office, Biden has spoken in public ... once ... for two minutes ... in a pre-taped statement on video. How is Joe Biden doing these days? We have no idea.

Hunter's Secret Service boondoggle. Keeping in mind Hunter's 24/7 security probably involved about 18 agents, necessitating they go wherever he went and that Hunter was making numerous international trips to collect paychecks for virtually no reason other than being the son of the vice president and later president, taxpayers were taking a major hit in financing his Secret Service force. This was true too when Biden was living a life of luxury in Malibu that mandated his security team rent very expensive property nearby. Meanwhile, as taxpayers were footing Hunter's tremendous Secret Service costs, he was receiving millions of dollars, it is estimated, which included $3.8 million from CEFC China Energy — an oil and gas company linked to the Chinese Communist Party that ultimately went belly up — and from Burisma Holdings. Hunter had begun working with CEFC when his father was vice president. It presented the worst possible image for someone in Hunter's position to open doors for China — a country with national security interests far different from our own.

Speaker Mike Johnson reveals why the Autopen scandal is a big deal. The Autopen is a fascinating device. Developed to allow celebrities to mass-produce autographs for hordes of swooning fans, it was never intended to enable a Muppet to serve as president of the United States. But that seems to be exactly what happened. Evidence has been emerging for a week that nearly every document Joe Biden allegedly signed after his first few days in office — every executive order, every pardon, every Congressional bill signed into law, every international treaty, every lifetime judicial nomination (including the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson) — was signed with not one, but two Autopens. The only known exception was Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. [...] Now there's even more reason to believe that nothing Joe the Vegetable allegedly signed is worth the paper it's printed on. He didn't even read it, much less sign it. What's truly dismal about this is that millions of voters have short memories. They'll forget this, or they'll never even hear about it, and they'll vote for the next DPDS [Democratic Party Deep State] nominee.

Is This the Aide Who Abused Joe Biden's Autopen? The latest scandal for the former Biden administration has exploded into the spotlight thanks to Trump's declaration Sunday night that Biden's pardons are "VOID, VACANT, AND NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT" because they were signed via autopen, and Biden may not have authorized them. The lingering question, of course, is who may have been using the autopen on Biden's behalf without his knowledge or consent. An explosive New York Post report revealed a disturbing pattern of potential power abuse within the Biden White House, centered around the controversial use of the presidential autopen. [...] While the New York Post didn't name the staffer, speculation is swirling around Neera Tanden. A longtime left-wing operative, Tanden was Biden's controversial pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget — until her nomination collapsed over a slew of hyper-partisan attacks on Republican lawmakers. She later found a role as White House Staff Secretary. Now, she finds herself at the center of this constitutional crisis.

President Trump Calls Biden J6 Pardons Null and Void Following Revelations of Auto Pen Use. President Trump sends a shot across the bow to those who received a preemptive pardon from the administration of Joe Biden, noting the use of an autopen could nullify the issuance. [Lengthy quote from Truth Social]

Null and void: Autopen misstep means arrests are now on the table. Until today, the Democratic Party Deep State (DPDS) and its propaganda bureaus — once known as "news media" — have carefully avoided the Autopen scandal, because it hasn't had any consequences that couldn't be comfortably ignored. But this morning, President Trump declared that all the pardons Joe Biden allegedly signed, during his final days in office, are null and void. [...] Now it seems that such propaganda bureaus as MSNBC, CNN and The New York Times have some catching up to do. They can't ignore it any longer, because some high-profile DPDS operatives are about to be prosecuted for their crimes.

Trump strips Hunter and Ashley Biden of Secret Service protection 'effective immediately'. President Trump revoked Hunter and Ashley Biden's Secret Service security detail on Monday after the former first son, flanked by agents, was spotted on an "ultra-luxurious" getaway in South Africa when he was due for a deposition in court. "Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous!" "He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned," the president added. "Because of this, South Africa has been taken off our list of Countries receiving Economic and Financial Assistance. "Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection," Trump announced.

Donald Trump Sends Warning To Enemies As He Says Biden Pardons Void. President Donald Trump has said that Joe Biden's 11th-hour pardons of members of Congress who investigated the January 6 attack are "void, vacant and of no further effect." In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that the pardons issued by his predecessor are not valid because they were allegedly signed using an autopen — a device that replicates a person's signature. Trump also warned members of the former January 6 House select committee that they would now be "subject to investigation at the highest level." Biden issued last-minute preemptive pardons to members of the January 6 committee to prevent Trump from seeking "revenge" against them.

Trump Puts Cheney, Fauci on Notice: Declares Pardons Officially 'Void' and Demands Investigation. President Donald Trump declared any pardons signed by former president Joe Biden via autopen are officially "void," directing his ire very specifically at the House Select Committee behind the investigation of the January 6th protest at the Capitol. Trump's comments were posted on his Truth Social media platform in the early hours of Monday morning. "The 'Pardons' that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen," the President wrote. "In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden."

We Have Another Tax Scandal for the Biden Family. The Biden family's penchant for playing fast and loose with financial disclosure laws continues. This time, it's the president's daughter and shower buddy Ashley Biden who's in hot water over a quarter-million-dollar "forgotten" donation to her nonprofit from none other than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The National Legal and Policy Center has referred Ashley's organization, Women's Wellness Spa(ce), to the IRS for investigation after discovering that the group conveniently failed to report a $250,000 grant from the Archewell Foundation in 2023. What is it with the Biden family and tax fraud? "This large contribution raised eyebrows because of the political implications of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's attempt to ingratiate themselves with President Biden and his family," the complaint reads. "But more importantly, the $250,000 cash grant made in 2023 was not reported on Ashley Biden's group's 2023 Form 990, which only reported receiving a total of $170,296 that year. A full audit of Ashley Biden's group is warranted to determine where the $250,000 cash grant was deposited and its disposition." The numbers simply don't add up.

Second Biden Autopen Discovered: New Analysis of Second Frequently Used Autopen for Biden's Pardons. A second Biden Autopen has been discovered by the Oversight Project. The Oversight Project discovered there was a second frequently used autopen signature for Joe Biden's pardons and commutations. [Tweet] Analysis by the Oversight Project reveals out of 51 clemency warrants issued by Biden: 16 were signed with Autopen A, 16 were signed with Autopen B and 19 appear to be wet signatures.

Hunter Biden, Beset by Legal Woes, Flees to... South Africa? On Saturday, we learned that Hunter's woes are worsening. He was facing an uncomfortable deposition in California, but a kindly judge allowed that case to be dismissed as Hunter's too broke to continue. So now the poverty-stricken former First Son has jetted off to Cape Town, South Africa, accompanied by his Secret Service retinue, to suffer from his poverty in a $500/night beachfront villa. [...] As it turns out, Hunter has been gifted some unusual legal foresight, as he headed out to South Africa before his case was even dismissed. [...] And why does the ne'er-do-well son of a former president have Secret Service protection?

Hunter Biden hotfoots it to a luxury vacation in South Africa, seemingly to avoid a deposition on his claimed poverty. Less than two months after Joe Biden issued them all a slew of blanket multi-year pardons for unspecified but obviously abundant crimes, Hunter Biden is back to his old ways. [...] So he's too poor to continue his junk harassment suit against former Trump official Garrett Ziegler, but he's not too poor to take himself onto a luxury vacay with his latest wife and most recent child, who is Navy Joan's younger stepsister, complete with a full Secret Service entourage in tow. [...] The basis for the [Secret Service] protection is pretty skeevy, too — Biden extended it for six months after his exit from office even though Congress authorizes it only for presidential children under the age of 16. Biden wrote in an exception for Hunter. But Hunter's claims to poverty to the judge rather stand out. Hunter says nobody wants to buy his blow-pipe 'masterpieces' now that old dad is out of office.

The Editor says...
The most questionable assertion in that article is, "Biden wrote in an exception for Hunter." Joe Biden was too senile to put a coherent sentence on paper, so I suspect somebody else "wrote in an exception for Hunter."

Trump Drops Savagely Funny Tweet About Joe Biden and the Autopen Scandal. The autopen affair is an incredible scandal. As we reported, many of Joe Biden's signatures on documents — including on things like pardons — were allegedly signed by an autopen. The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project did a deep dive into Biden signatures and said most of what they saw was done by autopen. That raised many questions: had he even approved them, and were they valid? [Advertisement] Then an updated story came out with a NY Post report where an unnamed aide was suspected of using the autopen without it being clear if Biden had approved. What was worse was the source that told the post that said there was an internal culture of not questioning so no one was able to really ask. That of course added to the questions about who was running things. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has called for an investigation into this to determine what was going on and if Biden was actually approving the things he signed. Bailey and the DOJ need to get the answers as to who was behind the autopen, what was signed with it, and what the approval process was.

Hunter Biden fled to 'ultra-luxurious' vacation in South Africa with round-the-clock Secret Service protection — avoiding grueling deposition. Hunter Biden fled last week to South Africa for a luxury vacation — with round-the-clock Secret Service protection — avoiding a grueling deposition scheduled for this week in a California lawsuit. California District Court Judge Herman Vera granted Hunter's motion to dismiss the case Thursday after the former first son claimed he was too broke to continue suing former Trump staffer Garrett Ziegler and his nonprofit Marco Polo. But photographs show Hunter was already in Cape Town the day the case was dismissed, staying in a $500-a-night beachfront villa described on its website as an "ultra-luxurious designer home with spectacular 180 degrees unobstructed views of the sea." [Photos] Ziegler's lawyers alleged to the court last week that Hunter had fled to South Africa to potentially "avoid his deposition in this case," which was set for this week, after originally being planned for February.

Hunter's Wonderful Life. A ne'er do well (or, is that a bon vivant?), a Yale law graduate who was booted from the Navy for failing a cocaine test, bedded his recently widowed sister-in-law, sold childish splashes of paint masquerading as art for millions of dollars, denied paternity and support for his illegitimate daughter, and received $30 million by trading on his father's stature and willingness to break bread with his marks, Hunter Biden apparently blew it all on sex, drugs, and more sex. In a new court filing, Hunter lamented that his art sales are down 98%, no one will hire him to give speeches, he has millions in debt, and the dog ate his homework (I made up the last one). Even worse, the District of Columbia Bar is investigating whether to disbar him, though a RealClearInvestigations report led by Paul Sperry suggests the result may be a whitewash that spares Hunter the usual consequences of his sordid past. Hunter is used to that. Even after he repeatedly failed to file his tax returns or pay the taxes his returns showed were due — net of illegally deducted gifts, travel, and payments to prostitutes — Hunter skated.

Biden sources suspect key aide may have abused autopen as Trump's 'far more restrictive' signing rules revealed. A key aide to former President Joe Biden may have exceeded their authority by liberally using an autopen to sign official documents, according to two former White House sources, as President Trump's aides set up "far more restrictive" rules governing the use of the mechanical device. A document obtained by The [New York] Post outlines the narrow set of circumstances in which Trump's signature can be affixed to documents, following controversy this week kicked off by a Heritage Foundation analysis of Biden signatures on various records, including last-minute pardons. A small group of officials under both Biden and Trump have been delegated the power to get documents "signed" robotically, but 82-year-old Biden's perceived cognitive decline sparked debate about whether some aides may have assumed his wishes in his final stretch as commander-in-chief.

A Lot of Things are Starting to Make Sense Now. [More discussion of the White House autopen scandal, in which the reporters apparently know who the "acting president" was, but can't really prove it yet, so nobody will utter the name. Whoever-it-was is guilty of treason, which is punishable by death, so it's best to have solid evidence lined up before making an accusation.]

Hunter Biden wins bid to drop laptop hacking lawsuit after crying poverty — but can't bring case again, judge rules. Hunter Biden has won a bid to drop his laptop hacking lawsuit because of money problems, but he can't bring the case again in the future, a judge has ruled. California federal Judge Hernán Vera Thursday partially granted the request by Biden, 55, to dismiss his case against former White House aide Garrett Ziegler after Biden claimed he can't get out of debt. He said he's broke because no one is buying his memoir or art and because he and his family were forced to relocate from their posh Malibu rental home after the wildfires. The [New York] Post exclusively revealed photos last week showing Hunter's home appearing unscathed while all the surrounding houses appeared destroyed by the Pacific Palisades fires that raged in January.

Obama briefing memos, sensitive foreign conversations forwarded to Biden private email, memos show. Briefing materials for President Barack Obama, subjects and times for White House Situation Room meetings and discussions about sensitive conversations with foreign leaders and even fallout from leaked National Security Agency intercepts were forwarded to Joe Biden's private pseudonymous email accounts when he was vice president, according to a new tranche of documents turned over to Just the News by the National Archives. Security experts and lawmakers, who reviewed the records, said they were disturbed by the nonchalant transmission of sensitive government information to Biden's insecure private email accounts and believed it put national security at risk. "The new set of emails from Joe Biden's time as Vice President are very troubling and are more evidence that Biden believed he did not have to abide by classification and document handling regulations," former CIA analyst and former Trump National Security Council chief of staff Fred Fleitz told Just the News.

Biden's "Covid shot" was probably fake, too.
Old Joe's Fake Oval Office — and Its Fake News Apologists — Exposed. Joe Biden's stage set is to the Oval Office what Dylan Mulvaney is to women: completely fake. We know that now, but there was a time when the media said all claims that Joe Biden was working from a virtual or fake Oval Office were considered to be "fake news." Now, with Trump White House adviser Alina Habba personally finding the fake Oval Office set and showing it to the public in a video, people are discovering the story all over again. From January through September 2021, Joe Biden's water carriers in the media went out of their way to "debunk" claims that he was doing appearances from a phony Oval Office, a Hollywood-like set.

The Editor says...
The people who put Joe Biden on a mock-up Oval Office set for a photo op are the same people who want to criminalize "disinformation."

Biden autopen signature appears on almost every document he signed, bombshell report finds. Many documents signed by President Joe Biden were done so using an autopen, according to a new report by an arm of the conservative Heritage Foundation, sparking questions over who was pulling the strings during the former president's four years in office. 'WHOEVER CONTROLLED THE AUTOPEN CONTROLLED THE PRESIDENCY,' the Oversight Project wrote in a post on X on Thursday. 'We gathered every document we could find with Biden's signature over the course of his presidency. All used the same autopen signature except for the announcement that the former President was dropping out of the race last year,' it continued. The report comes after Biden's four-year presidency was hampered by accusations and concerns over his mental acuity and fitness to serve.

WATCH: Alina Habba Has a Little Fun When She Discovers Biden's Fake 'Oval Office'. Alina Habba is President Donald Trump's legal counselor. She posted on Tuesday about what she found when she was visiting the White House — Joe Biden's old "fake Oval Office." And she had a little fun pointing out what it looked like and why she thought they used it. [Tweet] She asked people "to look at the room that they put her in." "We're in Biden's fake Oval Office!" Habba declared. She said she thinks she figured it out — why they used such a fake set. She directed the camera to turn around, and she said there was a screen — a "teleprompter to the face." "The last administration was a disgratz (disgrace)!" she said. [...] It was all a show to deceive us.

Tulsi Gabbard Rips Security Clearances From 51 Spies Who Lied, Hits Biden With Some Bad News Too. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Monday that the security clearances of 51 intelligence officers who signed a letter portraying Hunter Biden's laptop as 'Russian disinformation' have been officially revoked. Gabbard, one of several strong, intelligent women with a significant role in President Trump's cabinet, delivered the bad news to some high-profile members of the intelligence community. Names such as former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Directors Mike Hayden, John Brennan, and Leon Panetta, and former National Security Advisor John Bolton signed on to the letter. And by doing so, they eventually signed onto their own security clearance revocation. Gabbard further ripped clearances from former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, New York Attorney General and rabid anti-Trump advocate Letitia James, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Rounding out the delicious declaration on X is a note from Gabbard that former President Joe Biden is no longer privy to his Daily Brief.

The Editor says...
I doubt if Joe Biden will ever notice that he no longer gets daily intelligence briefings.

Was Joe Biden's Presidency One Long, Quiet Insurrection? Shocking new evidence suggests that Joe Biden was not the one really calling the shots inside the White House over the past four years — just as conservatives alleged all along. Late last week, the Oversight Project, an investigatory arm of the Heritage Foundation, revealed on X that a study of presidential documents from the Biden administration showed that virtually every one was signed by an autopen rather than by the president's own hand. "We gathered every document we could find with Biden's signature over the course of his presidency," the Oversight Project wrote. "All used the same autopen signature except for the announcement that the former President was dropping out of the race last year." If the Oversight Project's findings turn out to be accurate, it is difficult to overstate the magnitude of the scandal it would represent. It would raise the alarming possibility (which Republicans long warned of) that the country was effectively being run by unelected Biden aides rather than the duly-elected President of the United States — a soft coup d'état that should enrage every American voter, regardless of political affiliation.

Is the Pardon Attorney's Dismissal Sign of an Investigation Into Biden's Last-Minute Pardons? On March 7, 2025, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — on his second day in office — sent a written notice of termination to Liz Oyer, Pardon Attorney in the Department of Justice. The Pardon Attorney is a "career" position in that it is not an office that requires a presidential appointment that is confirmed by the Senate. The Pardon Attorney is appointed by the Attorney General, but the position is in the "Senior Executive Service." These are the top management positions just below the presidential appointees in all federal agencies. Oyer posted the written notice she was given on her LinkedIn page. It reads in part: "This memorandum serves as official notice that you are removed from your Senior Executive Service (SES) position of Pardon Attorney, Office of the Pardon Attorney, and from federal service, effectively immediately." [...] Liz Oyer was appointed as the Pardon Attorney by Merrick Garland in 2022. Oyer was not a long-time DOJ career employee — she spent most of her career as an assistant federal defender in the District of Maryland.

Here's a 10-Minute Video That Obliterates the Liberal Media's Protection of Joe Biden. We know about the liberal media cover-up regarding Joe Biden's mental health. It wasn't a mid-way through his term crisis either. On day one, his staff noticed he was losing his marbles and did whatever they could to hide this from the public. Toward the end, it was clear to voters that Biden had retreated into the bunker, the beach, or anywhere that would limit access to the White House Press Corps. Many reporters knew of his condition and said nothing out of fear of helping the Republicans or losing access. Here's the quintessential video that obliterates the protection the establishment press afforded the former president, sticking to the script despite Joe being a mumbling, confused mess before the nation. The top talking point was "fiery," repeated so often that it could be a drinking game. Kudos to Matt Orfela who clipped this work of art, exposing the Democrat-media complex: [Video clip]

When a Machine Signs, Who Rules the Republic? The question of whether President Biden's frequent use of an autopen to sign legislation violated the Constitution turns on a deceptively simple phrase in Article I, Section 7: "If he approves he shall sign it." At first glance, this Presentment Clause seems straightforward. A bill passes Congress, reaches the President, and, if he agrees, he signs it into law. Yet Biden's administration leaned heavily on the autopen — a mechanical device that replicates his signature — often while he was out of state or abroad, raising a worry that gnaws at the foundations of executive responsibility. Was he even aware of what was being signed in his name? The constitutional stakes are high, and the answer is not as obvious as it might appear. Let's begin with the core issue: what does it mean to "sign" a bill? Critics of the autopen contend that signing is a personal, deliberate act — an expression of the President's approval, not a task to be outsourced like mailing a letter. The Framers, they argue, envisioned a direct connection between the executive's judgment and the physical act of affixing his name.

Was Biden aware of anything? What if everything a POTUS signed while in office wasn't actually signed by that POTUS? What if somebody else signed all those executive orders, all those laws, all those proclamations, all that stuff? What if someone just had an autopen sign all those official documents? [...] If Joe didn't know about those documents, if he didn't sign them, who did? Hunter? Dr. Jill? Nancy Pelosi? One of Biden's handlers? Did they take turns, or was there constant, brutal infighting until the most leftist of them took over? We've no idea. This must be sorted out. It's obviously going to the Supreme Court. It needs to go there. Congressional Dems won't cooperate because they want to be able to do it again in the future. Biden's handlers won't cooperate for that reason and because they know they wouldn't do well in federal prison. Joe can't cooperate, even if he's promised ice cream. Whoever played POTUS the last four years did enormous damage, but if the Supreme Court sanely decides these issues, perhaps some good can come of this revelation.

Despite his claims of being broke, Hunter Biden's 'lawfare' continues against IRS whistleblowers. Hunter Biden sought to dismiss one of his lawsuits this week, arguing that he was too broke to continue the legal effort, but he is still continuing his lawsuit against the IRS over two whistleblowers who exposed the Justice Department's mishandling of his criminal case, lawyers for the IRS whistleblowers told Just the News. Hunter Biden filed a motion on Wednesday to voluntarily dismiss his lawsuit against former Trump White House aide Garrett Ziegler, a former White House aide who published contents of Hunter Biden's laptop through his Marco Polo research group, claiming he was facing financial difficulties. The two whistleblowers still in court with Hunter Biden are IRS supervisory special agent Gary Shapley and IRS special agent Joseph Ziegler. "In one court, Hunter Biden is claiming he doesn't have enough money for his lawyers to keep the lawfare going, but in another, his top-dollar hired gun from Big Law, Abbe Lowell, is still pushing a bogus suit against the IRS to target the whistleblowers for harassment and retaliation," Jason Foster, the founder of Empower Oversight, which is representing the IRS whistleblowers, told Just the News.

Joe Biden's Handlers Just Humiliated Him on Social Media. The most irrelevant former president in history just can't stop embarrassing himself. We haven't heard much from Joe Biden since he left office, but his social media handlers thought it would be a brilliant idea to post a saccharine International Women's Day message on Saturday, apparently hoping everyone would forget how he single-handedly sought to destroy women's sports during his disastrous presidency. "Like so many of you, I'm celebrating the incredible women in my life today," Biden's handlers wrote, presumably while he was enjoying his afternoon ice cream cone. "International Women's Day is a time to recognize the achievements of women and girls everywhere and recommit our efforts to advance dignity, opportunity, and equality for all."

Why [the] Biden administration might not have been the kind of bad we thought. For all the talk of insurrection surrounding January 6th, the truth of the matter is that if people were simply deciding on laws and executive orders without the president being aware of it, it's an insurrection. They took over for the sitting president without the consent of the people. The question then boils down to whether Biden was aware or not and whether he was in a position to be aware. Was his cognitive abilities sufficient, even in that moment, to make decisions? If not, the use of the autopen to sign anything is a huge issue simply because we cannot be sure who knew what was being signed. Instead of Biden issuing all of these executive orders and signing laws, it may have been someone the American people didn't vote for making all of the decisions, such as Jill or Hunter Biden. Both have been suggested as the Wormtongues behind the throne. Using an autopen to sign correspondences with various people is fine. The letter I got from Ronald Reagan when I made Eagle Scout was probably signed with an autopen. That's what it's for. Using it to sign a pile of documents that need a signature, but not necessarily need the president himself to read it because it has no force of law, is perfectly fine. The idea that it could be getting used to circumvent the Constitution by allowing unelected parties to create law is... troubling.

Who Signed Joe Biden's Name? This is a surprising — or perhaps not too surprising — twist in the was-Biden-senile game. Research by the Heritage Foundation's investigative arm, called the Oversight Project, looked at every document it could get its hands on that Joe Biden "signed." Turns out that most of them were signed by autopen. We're not talking about form letters. We're talking about things such as executive orders. If true, this raises several legitimate and very troubling questions.
• Did Biden know that he was "signing" these documents?
• Who had control of the autopen?
• Was it ever used without Biden's knowledge?
• If Biden himself didn't sign these documents, are they legally binding?

The Editor says...
If all those last-minute blanket pardons aren't really valid, let the hearings begin — starting with Dr. Fauci.

Report: Nearly All of Biden's Official Signatures were Autopens, so Who Was Really Running the Country? Joe Biden's cognitive decline was obvious to anyone paying attention. Biden would tell non-sense stories on the 2020 campaign trail, including his infamous incoherent one about "Corn Pop: A Bad Dude." The Washington Post's Robert Samuels tried to whitewash Biden's rambling story by writing Soviet-level propaganda validating the tall tale. Even Democrats knew that Biden "wasn't all there" during the 2020 campaign. Biden would shake hands with people who weren't there. Biden would walk towards doors that weren't there, at other times staff would walk him around like a dog. [...] Leftists continue to try and lie about the extent of Biden's mental breakdown though, claiming that it only came on recently. Now, the intrepid investigators at the Heritage Foundation's Oversight project, led by longtime investigator Mike Howell, has compared the Biden signatures on nearly every document from his administration. They find that it's obvious Biden never actually signed anything himself.

Big Questions Raised: MO AG Demanding DOJ Investigation Into Biden Executive Orders, Pardons, Actions. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has done something that could be extremely significant. Bailey is demanding the Department of Justice investigate whether Joe Biden's cognitive decline "allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval." [Tweet] "If true, these executive orders, pardons, and all other actions are unconstitutional and legally void," Bailey claimed. Bailey referenced in his letter to Inspector General Michael Horowitz the conversation that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had with Biden, where Biden didn't appear to understand/know that his signature was on an important LNG executive order. [Tweet] That's pretty shocking and it then raises big questions. Was he actually signing the orders? Did he understand and approve, if he did sign them? Bailey pointed to the observations of Special Counsel Robert Hur that Biden was an elderly man with a "poor memory" who couldn't even remember when he was vice president or the year his son died.

Could a Bombshell Discovery Render All of Biden's Presidential Actions 'Null and Void'? The Biden presidency might have been the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the American people. A shocking investigation by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project has revealed that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden's signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen — except for one. What makes this revelation particularly damning is that the only document confirmed to have Biden's actual signature was his letter announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Let that sink in for a moment. Remember when House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) revealed his discussion with Biden when Biden couldn't recall signing the executive order halting LNG exports? Now we know why — he probably didn't. The real question is: Who did? Who was running the country while Biden was not all there?

The Joe Biden 'Now They Tell Us' Phenomenon. I don't know if you've noticed, everyone, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, they all knew about Joe Biden's dementia. Suddenly we're given all of these revealing quotes that he was completely physically and mentally unfit to carry out the oath of office. But we all knew that. People had been writing about it. And yet, when you wrote about it, you were called a "cheap faker." You were ageist.

Hunter Biden's 'art' clients flee now that Joe has left White House. After 50 years of Hunter Biden profiting off of his father's power in public office, the younger Biden's consistent revenue stream has run dry. In his request to dismiss his lawsuit against a former White House staffer to President Donald Trump over the now-infamous laptop leak, the former first son has confessed that nobody wants to buy access to Joe Biden — er, I mean, the younger Biden's "artwork" — now that the former president has been exiled from public life. "Given the positive feedback and reviews of my artwork and memoir, I was expecting to obtain paid speaking engagements and paid appearances, but that has not happened," a bitter Hunter Biden, who noted that sales of his paintings and 2021 tell-all Beautiful Things dropped off a cliff after his father's political fortunes disintegrated, laments in his latest filing. In the final months of 2023, as panicked Democrats saw Joe Biden's sliding polling against an ascendant Trump, Hunter Biden's book sales collapsed by two-thirds.

Hunter Biden Wants His Laptop Lawsuit Thrown Out, Claims He Is Broke. Hunter Biden wants a judge to throw out his laptop lawsuit after claiming he is now broke, according to the New York Post. The 55-year-old tried to drop his lawsuit against a former aide to President Donald Trump. He previously accused the aide of publishing an online database of emails from the infamous laptop. Biden's lawyers filed the motion Wednesday in California. The filing stated he has not been successful in selling art as he claimed he last sold one in December 2023. "In the 2 to 3 years prior to December 2023, I sold 27 pieces for art at an average price of $54,481.48, but since then I have only sold 1 piece of art for $36,000," Biden's lawyers claimed on his behalf.

Hunter Biden used to get $83,000 a month from Burisma. So where did all that money go?

Shocker! Hunter Biden [is] Broke Because Nobody Will Buy His Paintings Any More. Hunter Biden is dropping a lawsuit against a website that had circulated materials from the infamous "laptop from hell." He is doing so, he tells the judge, because his financial position has become "dire" and he is deeply in debt and apparently unable to continue paying his lawyers. Hence, he is asking for the lawsuit to be dismissed. [...] Cry me a river, Hunter. You have your pardon, have lived high off the hog for decades because your father was corrupt, and now that Slow Joe is out of office and disgraced nobody is willing to buy your crappy paintings.

Boo-Hoo: Hunter's Grift Machine Has Run Dry So Now He Can't Afford to Litigate His Civil Cases. When Hillary crashed and burned in 2016, her family grift, The Clinton Foundation, took a hard turn toward the ground. It didn't completely auger in, but the international contributors turned their car around like a John seeing his favorite hooker in cuffs. With all due respect to the Clinton Grift Machine, Joe Biden and his family have been running their money scam for a lot longer. Sure, it took years for the bagman to come of age, but Hunter Biden filled that role, and the rest was history. I used the past-tense because the grift is over.

Hunter Biden says his art sales plunged since dad left White House, claims he's broke. Hunter Biden says he's just a starving artist now that his dad's not in the White House anymore. The former first son claimed he's millions of dollars in debt, nobody's buying his art and he lost his house to the Los Angeles wildfires in a bombshell legal filing in which he asked a a federal judge to drop the laptop hacking lawsuit he slapped on a former Trump White House aide. The embattled former first son, 55, said he has managed to sell just one piece of art — his catalogue is mostly colorful abstract paintings that have been compared to "hotel art" — since December 2023. He raked in nearly $1.5 million during dad Joe Biden's campaign and the early years of his administration. "In the 2 to 3 years prior to December 2023, I sold 27 pieces for art at an average price of $54,481.48, but since then I have only sold 1 piece of art for $36,000," Hunter Biden's attorneys said as they laid bare his apparent financial woes.

This is essentially an admission that the "artwork" is worthless, and that he was actually selling political favors.

Hunter Biden's $3M house appears untouched — while every neighboring home was burned to ash. The $3 million rental home that Hunter Biden claims is "unlivable" after the California wildfires — leaving him broke and unable to continue a 2023 lawsuit he filed — appears unscathed even though all the homes around it burned to the ground. The former first son, 55, was living in the four-bedroom Malibu home with his wife, Melissa, and their son, Beau, when the raging Palisades Fire tore through his neighborhood in January, sources confirmed to The [New York] Post. The wildfire made the property "unlivable for an extended period of time," Hunter claimed in a motion filed in federal court in California on Wednesday.

Chuck Todd says the 'mythology' of Joe Biden as a family man is [untrue]. Former NBC "Meet the Press" anchor Chuck Todd delivered a brutal opinion about former President Biden, calling him a "craven political animal" who was more concerned about his political career than his own family. During an appearance Sunday on Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt's "The Warning" podcast, Todd delved into why the Democrats lost the 2024 election and what he perceives as the media's relationship with the second Trump administration. After decrying older politicians remaining in the leadership of the Democratic Party, Todd returned to Biden's role in the November election loss. "You know, Joe Biden never should have been there in the first place, right? Number one, he shouldn't have run for president [in 2020]," Todd remarked.

Trump: Cocaine Found in WH Belonged to 'Either Joe or Hunter'. President Donald Trump suggested that either former President Joe or his corrupt son Hunter Biden is responsible for the cocaine found in the White House in July 2023, promising to launch an investigation into the matter. In a statement, Trump implied that the discovery of the drugs raised serious questions about the Biden family's involvement, vowing to push for a thorough probe. During an interview with the Spectator World, Trump said that his return to office convinced him that "either Joe or Hunter" misplaced the cocaine in the West Wing of the White House when asked, "Who actually left the cocaine in the White House?" The president promised to investigate the matter "because ... bad stuff happened there." "That was such a terrible thing because, you know, those bins are very loaded up with ... they're not clean, and they have hundreds and even thousands of fingerprints," Trump said, referring to the lockers where the cocaine was found. "And when they went to look at it, it was absolutely stone cold, wiped dry with the strongest form of alcohol. You know that, right?"

Joe Biden's 577 vacation days over four-year term tops modern presidents. Joe Biden's time as president was truly a sleeper. Biden, 82, took more time off than any other US president in modern history, spending 577 of his 1,463 days in office — or 39% of his presidency — on vacation, according to shocking new data compiled by the Republican National Committee. The average American — who gets 11 paid vacation days a year — would have to work 52 years to rack up as much down time as Biden scored in his four years.

Just one?
We're Living through the Biggest Scandal of All Time. All four of the biggest scandals in U.S. history have happened in just the past few years:
(a) the cover-up of Joe Biden's decline;
(b) lawfare against Trump;
(c) the cover-up of Hunter Biden's influence-peddling [...]; and
(d) billions wasted, by not just the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), but also by many other agencies, and being uncovered by Elon Musk's DOGE.
In this writer's opinion, it's all a series of causes and desired effects. The Democrat party Deep State (DPDS) loathe Trump. They used every trick in their trick bag, from "Russia collusion" to lawfare to assassination attempts, to beat him and present Hillary, then Biden, then Kamala as a superior candidate. The scams are the "why." The worst example is the vanishing migrant children. Some of the NGOs getting contracts from Team Biden to house unaccompanied minors (now known as "child-trafficking victims") were getting multi-billion-dollar contracts. Over 300,000 of those children have simply vanished. Anyone who made them vanish was, almost certainly, also paying the NGOs. That's the scam.

Biden Crime Family Pardons Serve as a Confession of Their Corruption. This week, President Biden followed his unprecedented pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, by issuing additional preemptive pardons to family members, dating back to his time as vice president. These preemptive pardons for the Biden Crime Family serve as a confession of their corruption as they sold out the American people to enrich themselves. [...] Bank records don't lie. Through these records, we identified over 20 shell companies that the Bidens and their associates created — most of which were created after Joe Biden became Vice President of the United States. The Bidens and their associates then used these shell companies to accept payments from foreign entities and individuals. Once the payments arrived in the shell companies' bank accounts, they would then launder money in incremental payments to members of the Biden family. In fact, we identified ten members of the Biden family who benefited from these schemes, including Joe Biden. Including loans that do not appear to have been paid back, the Biden family's enrichment scheme generated over $30 million in payments to the Bidens and their associates from corrupt foreign entities and individuals in China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and Kazakhstan. What were they selling? Access to Joe Biden and his influence.

So, That's Who Was Running the Country After Joe's Disastrous CNN Debate. Lindy Li, a Democrat-turned-MAGA supporter, continues her media tour, spilling her former party's behind-the-scenes drama, which kicked off reports that top donors are furious that they collectively shelled out $2 billion and got the brakes beaten off them by Donald Trump and the Republicans. She also offered insight into the delusional world Democrats wallowed in before Election Day, where some thought Iowa was within their reach. Now, she revealed that Hunter Biden 'commandeered' the White House after Joe Biden got pummeled by Donald Trump in the June debate on CNN, which eventually became an election-killing event for Democrats. It gets even more insane: Hunter Biden took over the White House. That's what Li alleges — it wasn't Lady McBiden, aka Jill, it was Hunter. The former Democrat donor shared these details with Shawn Ryan. [Video clip]

Trump revokes Biden's security clearance, citing cognitive decline. In a tit-for-tat move, President Donald Trump revoked former President Joe Biden's security clearance. Trump announced his plans to do so on Truth Social, saying "we are immediately revoking Joe Biden's Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings." In 2021, shortly after taking office, Biden had revoked Trump's security clearance. Former presidents typically retain their security clearance as those in the very small club of past presidents have a unique perspective on domestic and global matters as well as on the rarified position that they each have held. "There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information," Trump said, echoing the words Biden had used when he pulled Trump's clearance.

Trump says he is 'immediately revoking' Biden's security clearance and access to daily intelligence briefings. President Trump announced Friday that he is "immediately revoking" former President Joe Biden's security clearances and access to daily intelligence briefings — telling The [New York] Post he doesn't "trust" his predecessor with such sensitive information. Trump, 78, argued in a Truth Social post that the former president set the precedent when he barred him from receiving access to the same briefings four years ago, citing Trump's "erratic behavior." "There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information," Trump wrote.

Trump Revokes Biden's Security Clearance, Bars Him From Intelligence Briefings. President Donald Trump on Feb. 7 announced that he was revoking former President Joe Biden's security clearance and stopping his access to daily intelligence briefings, an entitlement of most former presidents. Biden, when he took office in 2021, revoked Trump's access to classified information and daily intelligence briefings, citing the events of Jan. 6, 2021 — where Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol and disrupted the certification of the Electoral College vote, for which Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives and later acquitted by the Senate — as his reason. Trump announced his decision in a social media post on Truth Social, citing Biden's previous action as well as the report by Special Counsel Robert Hur, who investigated the alleged mishandling of classified information by Biden and issued a report in 2024.

Delaware Judge Went After Elon Musk; Now Delaware Losing Corporations at Alarming Rate. Remember last year when an activist Delaware judge invalidated Elon Musk's compensation package at Tesla — twice — despite it having been overwhelmingly approved by stockholders — twice? [Advertisement] The compensation package was unconventional — he wouldn't get paid unless he delivered extraordinary results. He multiplied the value of the company by 10x. Which is shareholders approved the package — he made them extremely wealthy, and they rewarded him by making him even wealthier. He put it all on the line, performed, and the judge took it all away and gave a bunch of it to lawyers. The judge was, by the way, closely tied to the Biden crime family. [Tweet]

Liberal media's lies to protect Biden were even worse than you think. Sometimes in life, it is only once a crisis passes that we can truly see just how awful and harmful it was. This week, in these pages, Joseph Wulfsohn offered a long read, detailing the prevarications of the mainstream media in the Joe Biden era, and its complicity in the lie of the century. You should read the whole [...] thing, as only now journalists begin to admit their duplicitous role in propping up Biden. I applaud Wulfsohn for persevering. I would have thrown a coffee mug through my laptop about halfway through writing it out of sheer anger. The story begins at the beginning with the cover-up of the Hunter Biden laptop, and here is what Marc Caputo, then at Politico, had to say about his coverage of the first son's crime-scene-on-a-hard-drive being quashed: [...]

Now We Know the Shocking Truth About the 51 Intel Officials' Role in Hunter Biden's Laptop! We all remember how, in the fall of 2020, the Biden campaign scrambled to discredit the New York Post's bombshell report on Hunter Biden's "laptop from hell." Just days before a crucial debate, they enlisted 51 former intelligence officials to sign a letter suggesting the laptop was Russian disinformation — giving Biden the perfect excuse to dismiss the story when Trump confronted him. That letter also handed Big Tech the justification to censor the story across social media, making it one of the most brazen examples of election interference in U.S. history. [...] President Trump's executive order was decisive action aimed at ensuring the intelligence community stays out of the politics. In addition to stripping security clearances from the likes of James Clapper, Michael Hayden, Leon Panetta, and John Brennan, it also bars anyone holding a clearance from using their position to sway elections and puts strict limits on the use of classified information for personal memoirs.

The Big Guy's Treason. [Scroll down] [I]t was obvious to me for a long time that Joe Biden was the head of a lucrative crime family — even if the Democratic Party, the legacy media, the CIA, FBI, IRS, and Department of Justice insisted otherwise, and even if 51 high-ranking veterans of intelligence organizations asserted that Hunter Biden's laptop bore all the marks of Russian disinformation. Seeing through these bald-faced lies wasn't brain surgery. After all, what other than mammoth corruption founded on influence-peddling would explain Hunter's extraordinary income from Ukraine, China, and elsewhere, and the conspicuously lavish lifestyle that's been enjoyed for years by him, his father, and his uncle Jim, none of whom had ever had the kind of job at which people tend to earn enough to afford such luxury? Even now, roughly half of Americans seem to believe that all the attention that's been paid to Hunter Biden and his laptop has to do with his love of prostitutes and drugs rather than with high crimes and misdemeanors committed by him on behalf of his dad and other members of the clan.

The Greatest Crime Wave in U.S. History. The Democrats, along with the FBI and numerous toadies, were complicit in one of the greatest series of crimes in American history. A veritable 4-year crime wave by a political party unwilling to abide by the law or a clean election. Joe Biden had a long road to the presidency but a short road to the exit door. With 40% of his time spent on vacation, he probably departed the presidency early on, entrusting the decision-making to others, namely Barack Obama. Obama had always dreamed of being president in the background, free from the press and public scrutiny. Biden and his wife, Jill, just had to play the role, loving every minute of it. Biden never had the mental capacity to be president of the most powerful nation on earth. He was not a talented law student. He was accused multiple times of plagiarism. He was corrupt, amoral, and certainly had few, if any, core values. [...] Biden was fortunate to have Obama as his boss when he was vice president. The country was so enamored with having a Black president, however un-scrutinized, that both Obama and Biden were able to get away with election crimes, breaking every immigration law, the building up of Iran, almost destroying our military, legitimizing every perversion, sending race relations back thirty years, and Biden selling his influence. The legacy press paid little attention.

Hunter Biden's name, signature, and shared bank account showed up in $60M fraud investigation. When a million-dollar securities fraud wrapped up two of Hunter Biden's business partners at Burnham Asset Management, Hunter Biden escaped scrutiny. However, bank records and corporate document drafts now show one of the future first son's shared bank accounts was used in the fraudulent bond transaction. After his partners were arrested and charged in the scheme, Biden moved immediately to distance himself from the firm. He later told lawmakers during the impeachment inquiry into his father, former President Joe Biden, that the proposed work with Burnham never came to fruition. Any personal liability for his association with the company at the center of the fraud scheme has now been wiped out, after former President Joe Biden delivered a sweeping pardon for his son from 2014 to the present day.

Joe Biden Scandal Deepens Post-Term After 'Accidental' Commutation Is Revealed, Dem Hypocrisy Exposed. Joe Biden left the White House a week ago, but the scandal surrounding his mental health is only deepening. On his way out the door, the former president signed a series of pardons at the ACLU's request. Billed as applying to "non-violent drug offenders" (which is an insanely broad generalization), they ended up including a drug lord who murdered an eight-year-old boy and his mother to stop them from testifying. Adrian Peeler is now set to be released in July. [...] Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), infamous for lying about serving in Vietnam, responded, "Someone dropped the ball." Well, I've got a pretty good idea of who did, Senator. Who signed those pardons? That would be Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. That makes him responsible. Yet, I'm noticing a distinct lack of outrage from various Democrats and their press allies. Keep in mind, these are the same people who are still obsessing over the January 6th pardons.

CNN Host Casually Mentions Biden May Have Secretly Pardoned Himself Before Leaving Office. Trump recently commented on the fact that of all the pardons issued by Biden, he didn't pardon himself. Or did he? CNN's Jake Tapper was talking to NY Times journalist Maggie Haberman this week and casually suggested that it's possible Joe Biden secretly pardoned himself before leaving office. That sounds like kind of a big deal, if true. Wouldn't it be nice if journalists actually did their jobs and found out if this happened?

Jake Tapper Raises Eyebrows With Suggestion Biden May Have Issued a Secret Pardon in Final Days As POTUS. CNN anchor Jake Tapper is raising some eyebrows by speculating that there is a possibility former President Joe Biden may have issued a pardon no one knows about. Tapper brought up the issue during an interview with New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman on CNN's "The Lead" on Friday. He began by playing a clip from Wednesday, which has some leftists on edge, in which President Trump pointed out to Fox News host Sean Hannity that Biden didn't deliver perhaps the most important pardon — his own. Haberman stated that Trump isn't alone in his outrage over Biden's slew of last-minute pardons saying that she'd spoken to some "former Biden officials," who were not especially happy the pardons included those that are pre-emptive for some individuals who haven't been charged with anything yet — and others that have been backdated years to cover potential previous crimes. "Although it is possible, we don't know, but it is always possible for a president to pardon somebody and not announce it," Tapper said, hypothesizing.

5 likely choices for who really ran the disastrous Biden White House. For years, conservative media, lawmakers and talking heads have been sounding the alarm about President Joe Biden's cognitive free fall. And for years, left-wing media, lawmakers and their loyal mouthpieces waved it off with the same condescending dismissal — accusing us of lying, fear-mongering or worse. Some even went so far as to say they couldn't keep up with Biden's supposed brilliance and jam-packed schedule of what was mostly just one morning briefing and two mid-afternoon naps. Fast-forward to the post-presidency. Now that Biden has shuffled out of office, left-wing media seems to be waking up to the glaringly obvious. The New York Times of all places — yes, the same paper that acted as Biden's PR firm — has revealed that he relied on teleprompters during intimate fundraisers in private homes. At events where he was supposed to come across as casual and personable, he needed scripted prompts. Donors weren't exactly brimming with confidence. House Speaker Mike Johnson dropped a bombshell about a January 2024 meeting in which Biden was apparently stunned to learn he had signed an executive order halting liquefied natural gas exports just weeks earlier. He repeatedly denied even knowing about it. Johnson believed Biden didn't know what he signed, leaving him with a terrifying question: "Who is running the country?"

Whither Joseph Biden: What Will the Former President Do Now? [Scroll down] Except, of course, we're pretty sure now that befuddled old Joe wasn't really in charge. Commentator, radio host, and podcaster Jason Rantz has some thoughts as to who may have been running the show. [...] Mr. Rantz lists some possibilities, including former President Barack Obama, Frau Doktor Professor Jill Biden, Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and some anonymous Gen Z staffer or staffers. My money is on the former First Lady and other members of the Biden clan, including ne'er-do-well son Hunter, as they had the most to gain by keeping old Joe more-or-less upright and awake.

Joe Biden Potentially Faces Excommunication After Quiet Induction Into Historically Black Masonic Lodge. Former President Joe Biden, who is Catholic, joined a historically black Freemason lodge just one day before he left the presidency, an offense punishable by excommunication in the Church. Biden was conferred with "Master Mason membership" and "full honors" on Jan. 19 at the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, according to the Conference of Grand Masters announcement. Joining the Freemasons as a Catholic forbids an individual from receiving communion, with the potential for excommunication, according to canon law of the Catholic Church. "Herefore, be it resolved, that I, 27th Most Worshipful Grand Master, Victor C. Major, on behalf of the members of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, hereby confer membership upon President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. in recognition of his outstanding service to the United States of America," the statement reads.

Did Joe Biden join the Freemasons? An announcement surfaced online Friday, issued the Conference of Grand Masters of Prince Hall Lodge Freemasonry, and stating that the Grand Lodge of South Carolina had conferred membership on President Joe Biden. According to the announcement, dated Jan. 19 — the day before Biden left office — the president was granted a "resolution of membership" by the lodge in recognition of his "exceptional dedication and service to the United States" which "reflects the core values of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, including brotherly love, relief, and truth." It is not uncommon for outgoing presidents to be honored by groups and organizations. But as the second Catholic to hold the office, Biden's new "membership" of the lodge presents a particular issue: Catholics have been banned from joining masonic lodges and organizations since 1738, and are subject to canonical penalties for doing so. So, is Joe Biden now a Freemason? And if so, what canonical penalties does he face? Based on the facts available, the situation is more complicated than you might think.

Legal Experts Criticize Biden's Preemptive Pardons, Arguing They Offer Incomplete Protection. Joe Biden's issuance of preemptive pardons to family members and political allies has been criticized by legal experts who argue that such actions may not offer comprehensive legal protection. On Monday, just hours before leaving office, Joe Biden granted preemptive pardons to individuals including Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired General Mark Milley, and members of the House January 6 Committee, such as former Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Additionally, he pardoned five family members: his brothers James and Francis Biden, his sister Valerie Biden Owens, and their spouses. Renowned attorney Jesse R. Binnall of the Binnall Law Group broke down the implications of these preemptive pardons on social media platform X, calling the situation "great news" for those seeking accountability.

"If They Weren't the Crime Family, Why Do They Need Pardons?" — Speaker Johnson to Investigate Biden Family Pardons. The Biden Crime Family is real and Joe Biden proved that when he preemptively pardoned members of his family who participated in his influence-peddling scheme. House Speaker Mike Johnson said Republican lawmakers are going to investigate Joe Biden's family pardons. After pardoning his son Hunter, Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to five members of his family: Sister Valerie Biden, her husband John Owens, brother Jim Biden, brother Frank Biden, sister-in-law Sara Biden. Johnson said GOP lawmakers are going to look into the pardons.

The List of Movies That Biden Screened at the White House Is Beyond Disturbing. The White House has released its official list of movies that Joe Biden screened in the White House Family Theater during his term, and it's weird, to say the least. [Advertisement] [Tweet] One flick that stands out is Adam Sandler's "Little Nicky." Really? I like a few Sandler movies, but there are plenty I've never bothered to waste my time watching, and this is one of them. There are admittedly, plenty of films here that I've never seen or even heard of. "Shortbus," according to IMDB, is about "a group of New Yorkers caught up in their romantic-sexual milieu converge at an underground salon infamous for its blend of art, music, politics, and carnality." "The Adventures of Drunky" is about a barfly named Drunky "who finds himself in the middle of a cosmic bet between God and the Devil over the fate of the Earth. With his life destroyed, Drunky must travel through Heaven and Hell to rescue the girl he loves and save the world." You know, the usual high-quality films you'd expect to be screened at the White House.

Shocking new twist in Biden family crime drama reveals likely reason Joe pardoned everybody. Joe Biden's handlers didn't pardon him — maybe by design. Perhaps, in the end, Joe, the man riddled with dementia, will be the fall guy for his entire criminal enterprise. And wouldn't that be sweet justice? The buzz about this possibility is gaining traction, thanks to a bombshell twist in the Biden crime family drama. A newly discovered bank account reveals over $240,000 in foreign money wired directly to Joe Biden, with no explanation. Is this more classic Biden laundering tactics hiding in plain sight? [Tweets] So, did the handler's know this new bank account was about to be exposed? That's the question on everyone's mind. The revelation broke on Fox Business with Maria Bartiromo, and the moment it hit the airwaves, it went viral. [Tweet with video clip]

Democrats Sure Do Have A Lot Of Criminal Friends. In their latest email, our friends at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, which has become an indispensable daily source of valuable information and sharp commentary, included a chart of presidential pardons going back to Harry S. Truman. Until Joe Biden, pardons were almost entirely reserved for people who had actually been convicted of crimes, but even without those pre-crime pardons, Biden leads the pack by an eye-popping margin, with 8,064 in his four years. Nobody comes anywhere close. Trump pardoned just 237 in his first term. Given that Biden barely knew what day it was, we suspect that the tsunami of pardons reflects the ability of Democrats to slip them on Biden's desk knowing he'd sign whatever was put in front of him.

Biden grants clemency to drug dealer convicted in double slaying of 8-year-old boy and his mom. A Connecticut drug kingpin convicted in the deaths of an 8-year-old boy and his mother was granted clemency by President Joe Biden — in a stunning 11th-hour move slammed by fellow Democrats. Adrian Peeler, 48, of Bridgeport, served 25 years in state prison on conspiracy charges in the deaths of Karen Clarke and her 8-year-old son, Leroy "BJ" Brown, in January 1999, CT Mirror reported. The two had been slated to testify a month later against Peeler's brother, fellow drug gang leader Russell Peeler, who was on trial for killing Clarke's boyfriend, rival dealer Rudolf Snead, the Hartford Courant said.

Joe Biden's corrupt last act as president proved his family hustle always superseded the truth, the law and the country. Imagine you are one of those gullible people who believed mentions of a Biden crime family was a Republican fever dream and a sinister plot to smear an honest, devoted father, his surviving son and other relatives. [...] By Tuesday, you could no longer escape the conclusion that Biden and the media had been lying to you all along. This, of course, was the same White House and media that lied to you to hide Biden's rapid cognitive decline. It has you wondering what else they kept from you. Biden's pardons for his family and a few others were his final act as president. And although he and Trump rode together to the inaugural ceremony, Trump said Biden never mentioned the pardons. No doubt Biden was ashamed because he knows it makes the recipients look guilty. It was also something he had promised he would never do.

The Editor says...
I still think it is possible Joe Biden did not pardon his whole family — that somebody else wrote up the pardons and forged them with the same mechanism that neatly signs other documents on Joe Biden's behalf. Joe Biden, in his current mental state, may know nothing about it! Tell me that's impossible. Joe Biden said he would never do such a thing, and it's possible that he was telling the truth, for once. Not likely, just possible.

Biden's Pardons Prove His Corruption. In one of Biden's final interviews, he ranted that he is "concerned about how fragile democracy is," implying that President Donald J. Trump is a threat to our democracy. Hey Joe — nothing makes our republic more fragile than having a dishonest president intent on becoming wealthy, and making family members wealthy using criminal means similar to those of organized crime, along with a corrupt Department of Justice and equally corrupt FBI that refused to investigate any of the Biden family corruption while simultaneously investigating political opponents for made-up crimes. And then, after years of using his elected offices to stuff his bank account, on the way out the door, he gives "preemptive" pardons to his entire family, ensuring their ill-gotten gains would never be investigated, and if investigated, never prosecuted. This is cronyism, nepotism, and corruption on a scale the United States has never before seen. [...] To the surprise of nobody, Biden lied. He did exactly what he promised he wouldn't do — pardon his family members. Just last December, he gave a full pardon to Hunter for his convictions of gun crimes and tax crimes. Then, during Trump's inauguration ceremony (literally the final minutes of Biden's presidency) he gave [preemptive pardons] to Biden family members.

This Corrupt Biden Pardon May Already Have Caused Innocent Deaths. Former President Joe Biden's last-minute clemency decisions included pardoning his son Hunter, Joe Biden's siblings and their spouses, and commuting the capital sentences of almost every federal prisoner on death row. They have drawn a boatload of public attention and justified criticism. Indeed, some will likely cost people their lives. That is clear in the pardon Biden issued to arms trafficker Viktor Bout. Last October, The Wall Street Journal reported that, in August 2024, the Houthis in Yemen sent emissaries to Moscow to purchase $10 million in automatic weapons. There, according to the WSJ's sources (which included a European security official), the Houthi agents met Viktor Bout, an infamous arms trafficker responsible for perhaps hundreds of thousands of deaths. Bout once was the Number 2 person on America's Most Wanted List, right after Osama bin Laden, to whom Bout had sold weapons.

Joe Biden Pardons His Brothers, James and Frank, along with his sister Valerie, and their spouses.. Literally minutes before he leaves office, Joe Biden just issued blanket pardons for his closest family. Having previously pardoned Hunter Biden, the departing executive just pardoned his brothers, James and Frank, along with his sister Valerie, and their spouses. The Biden family crime syndicate, those who engaged in the benefit of Joe Biden selling the influence of his office for financial gain, are attempting to preemptively pardon themselves from any investigation or prosecution of their criminal conduct.

Biden warned against Trump preemptively pardoning family after 2020 election, then did it himself minutes before leaving office. Former President Joe Biden said he was "concerned" about Donald Trump giving preemptive pardons to family members, according to a resurfaced interview from 2020 — before he went on to pardon his own son and siblings while doling out the highest number of presidential pardons and commutations in US history. In a December 2020 interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Biden warned against then-outgoing President Trump issuing preemptive pardons to his adult children, his attorney Rudy Giuliani and possibly even one for himself before the Democrat's Department of Justice took over. "It concerns me in terms of what kind of precedent it sets and how the rest of the world looks (at) us as a nation of laws and justice," Biden told Tapper during the joint interview with then-Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

Special Counsel Smith, Fani Willis, and the Others Biden Snubbed in Pardon Flurry. It was frankly a despicable presidency, and on the way out the door, Joe Biden tarnished his already dirt legacy by issuing a slew of pardons for his son Hunter, J6 hysteric Liz Cheney, former General Mark Milley, COVID misinformation czar Dr. Anthony Fauci, and a whole bunch more. But who did he leave off his list? Turns out, quite a few folks who could be facing some much-needed scrutiny into their dubious actions. As RedState's Bonchie reported, Rachel Vindman, wife of Alexander Vindman, "the pudgy member of the first Trump administration's national security council who allegedly leaked classified information to a 'whistle-blower,'" spent Sunday whining that her man didn't get a pardon. The Vindmans aren't the only ones who didn't get their coveted get-out-of-jail-free card. There are at least four miscreants who might be looking in their mirror when Pam Bondi becomes the country's Attorney General:
(Former) Special Counsel Jack Smith
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg
New York Judge Juan Merchan
Fulton County, Georgia DA Fani Willis
To a person, each of these people overstepped ethical boundary after ethical boundary in their desperate attempts to "get Trump" and put him behind bars before the election. How's that looking now, guys?

The Editor says...
Joe Biden is senile, and for some number of months has been unable to perform the duties of the U.S. President. Apparently he can only stay awake a few hours a day, and can't speak a coherent sentence extemporaneously. I don't think Joe Biden himself wrote up all those pardons and signed them so neatly. But who has the ability to get him away from his handlers and ask him about it? If Joe Biden were to deny having signed pardons for any of those individuals, then somebody has probably committed forgery.

Biden crime family free at last. With less than 20 minutes before his term in office expired, the head of the Biden crime family preemptively pardoned his three siblings: James Biden, Francis Biden, and Valerie Biden Owens. He also pardoned his in-laws, John Owens and Sara Jones Biden. This was in addition to the pardon that the family boss had previously conferred on his son, Hunter Biden. I'm referring, of course, to "President Biden." "Biden" also preemptively pardoned General Milley, Dr. Fauci, and the members of Nancy Pelosi's January 6 House Committee. Among the January 6 Committee members pardoned by "Biden" is Rep. Jamie Raskin. As House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer cruelly recalled, "Raskin once claimed that 'the seeking of pardons is a powerful demonstration of the consciousness of guilt, or at least the consciousness that you may be in trouble.' It's clear that the chickens have come home to roost for Jamie Raskin." The statements posted on the White House site regarding all these pardons appear to have been removed upon the inauguration of President Trump.

Bye-Bye Biden: The Departure of America's Worst President. In two earlier pieces for Townhall (here and here), I've sounded warnings for the Biden administration: Unless something changes, President Biden will be ranked as among America's worst chief executives. And this is not only according to the Constitution's job description, a measure conservatives might use to assess presidents. It also is true according to indicators left-of-center academics employ to raise the rankings of presidents whose policies they like and suppress the rankings of presidents they don't like. Like nearly all deficient presidents, Biden served only one term. He is now mercifully gone. But his actions during his final days will cement his low rating. Biden was unique among presidents in scoring poorly not just on one or two of the factors academics use for demoting chief executives, but on several: corruption, failure to enforce the law, executive ineptness, incapacity, divisiveness (or lack of moral leadership), and civil liberties violations.

The Biden Crime Family cashes out after 52 years of trading on the family name. After more than half a century of brandishing the Biden family moniker to trade access to the federal government in exchange for cash, the Biden Crime Family has finally cashed out. As a parting gift to his grifting kinsmen, Joe Biden exited his historical disgrace of a presidency by granting an eleventh-hour categorical pardon to his siblings, Jim Biden, Frank Biden, and Val Biden Owens, and their spouses for any and all nonviolent crimes "they may have committed or taken part in" during the decade-plus since January 1, 2014. Only the "full and unconditional" pardons the former president issued to his son Hunter and then to former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci were more sweeping. Biden issued 8,064 acts of presidential pardon or clemency during his four long years, more than any other president since Jimmy Carter, who pardoned hundreds of thousands of draft dodgers in the wake of the Vietnam War. [Paywall]

Trump Declares 'National Emergency' At Southern Border. Biden's pardons — which previously included Chinese spies, the judge convicted in 2011 over the "kids-for-cash" scandal (where he took kickbacks for wrongfully sending children to juvenile detention centers), and Biden's corrupt, drug addict son, Hunter Biden — have already been controversial and eye-raising. For one, Biden has pardoned up to 8,000 people — the most pardons made by any president in history and far more than any president since Andrew Johnson, who pardoned more than 7,000 people. [...] What's most extraordinary about these pardons, of course, is that while it's normal for a president to use his office to grant clemency to some citizens convicted of crimes on his last day in office, Biden's last wave of pardons provides clemency to public officials who haven't been convicted of a thing. Biden justified his decision by pointing toward Trump's warning of an "enemies list" filled with those who crossed him. Biden says that he wants to avoid those pardoned being subjected to Trump's weaponization of the Justice Department (coincidentally, exactly what the Biden admin did to Trump). Nevertheless, one can't help but detect a major incongruity in this justification; if someone hasn't committed a crime, why should they fear the investigative process?

Biden Pre-Emptively Pardons Fauci, Schiff, Cheney, Milley, & Family Members. As everyone sat in the Captol Rotunda 'golf-clapping' the inauguration of President Trump, President Biden snuck in a last minute pre-emptive pardon for his family members[.] [...] As AP reports, it's customary for a president to grant clemency at the end of his term, but those acts of mercy are usually offered to everyday Americans who have been convicted of crimes. But Biden has used the power in the broadest and most untested way possible: to pardon those who have not even been investigated yet. And with the acceptance comes a tacit admission of guilt or wrongdoing, even though those who have been pardoned have not been formally accused of any crimes.

Forget General Milley, Joe Biden Just Pardoned Lawfare Operative Mary McCord. This is so far beyond corrupt, the light from where corruption emanates could not catch this level of corruption for a year. Let us be clear. Joe Biden didn't actually pardon anyone. Biden wouldn't know who, how, or what a preemptive pardon actually is. Nope, the non-pretending version of what just happened is: the people who control Joe Biden, just used the tool he represents to pardon themselves. No one has picked up on this yet, but the people in control of the pardoning process Joe Biden represents, just pardoned themselves; including Mary McCord. Notice the wording: [...]

No one is above the law! Except these guys.
President Biden pardons brother James, other relatives for unspecified crimes before leaving office. President Joe Biden pardoned his brother James Biden and other relatives Monday for unspecified crimes, a similar last-minute move to protect his family from potential investigation as when he pardoned his son Hunter Biden for gun and tax convictions. The president said he pardoned his brother and other relatives — James's wife Sara Jones Biden, sister Valerie Biden Owens and her husband John Owens, and another brother, Francis Biden — because of concerns about "baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families," he said in a statement released minutes before the end of his term. "Even when individuals have done nothing wrong and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage their reputations and finances," Biden said.

The Editor says...
People who have done nothing wrong do not need blanket pardons.

Trump's Department of Justice Needs To Go After the Biden Family Immediately. Smart people don't talk about how smart they are, funny people don't waste your time telling you they're funny, you just notice. Joe Biden has spent years telling everyone how "normal" he was — claiming the nicknames "middle class Joe" and "lunch bucket Joe," neither of which anyone other than Biden has ever called Joe Biden. He's been so full of that post-digested food his whole life it's a wonder his hair ever went grey, until you realize what happens to that "dog dirt" if it sits in the yard for a couple of weeks. To hell with him and his wife. When Joe pardoned his family it was an attempt to cover up a conspiracy in this Joe was not only a participant, but the hub. I don't know the answer to this, but I believe there is a legal challenge that should clarify the answer to: Can a President pardon members of a criminal conspiracy that he is a party to?

The final corruption of Joe Biden. For four years, the media worked tirelessly to deny or deflect the corruption scandal surrounding the Biden family. The pardoning of James Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John Owens and Francis Biden brought an inescapable clarity to the corruption of what is known in Washington as Biden Inc. I have written about the Biden family's corruption for decades. Influence-peddling has always been the favorite form of corruption in Washington, but this city has never seen the likes of the Biden family. Millions of dollars were secured from foreign sources and distributed to various Biden family members. Biden repeatedly lied about the influence peddling. He long denied knowing about his son's foreign clients or business. He denied ever meeting Hunter's clients. Later, photos and emails showed that Biden had clearly met these clients and knew about the business deals. He was fully aware that his family was cashing in on his name and various offices.

Supreme Court Ruling: Accepting a Pardon is an "Admission of Guilt!" A Presidential Pardon does not take effect unless the suspect accepts it. That according to a little known, 1915 ruling from the Supreme Court, once accepted, the pardon serves as an "imputation of guilt," or what's more commonly known as an admission. Because accepting the pardon is "essential to it's validity," I am demanding the Biden family, Dr. Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, the members of the J6 Committee and everyone else Biden unsurprisingly pardoned declare their acceptance of the pardon publicly. Because, according to the Supreme Court, it would also serve as a declaration of guilt.

Trump brilliantly baited Biden into admitting the guilt of the Biden-ites. In one of his very final acts as the putative President, literally minutes before Donald Trump was re-inaugurated, the Big Guy issued a pardon to all his siblings and their spouses. Joe's five pardons together with his earlier pardon of his son Hunter for tax evasion and gun-running convictions (and all other crimes known and unknown over a period of ten years) bring Joe's pardons of family members to a total of six. In case you're wondering what crimes these six family members could possibly have committed that required a presidential pardon, let's just say it was a family business. It was a lucrative one that raked in tens of millions of dollars in exchange for unidentified work. According to emails from Hunter, 10% was earmarked for the guy issuing the pardon — that very same Big Guy. These Sordid Six thus join the 1,499 rapists, murderers and molesters whose sentences Joe commuted last week. It wouldn't surprise me if the 1,499 feel insulted to be lumped in with these particular six.

Donald Trump Rips Joe Biden for Pardoning Biden Family During His Inauguration. President Donald Trump slammed former President Joe Biden for pardoning members of the Biden family business during his inaugural address. Joe Biden pardoned James Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John Owens, and Francis Biden just before noon Monday. Breitbart News has previously reported on their participation in the family business. Receiving clemency raises questions about potential wrongdoing. It is unknown at this time if he also pardoned himself. "Did you know that Biden, while I was making my speech, pardoned his whole family?" Trump asked the crowd at Capitol One Arena in Washington, DC. The crowd replied by booing the family that made millions while Joe Biden was an elected official. Republicans say the family members only made millions due to peddling influence to the elected official. "The brother, the whole deal was pardoned," he said. "Can you image that — while I was making my speech?

Trump Slams Biden's Family Pardons: 'Makes Him Look Very Guilty'. Republicans in the House have been investigating the Biden family's corruption for over a year, especially their involvement in laundering millions through family-owned shell companies. It seems Biden took these actions to shield his family from accountability for their alleged wrongdoings. "President Biden's preemptive pardons for the Biden Crime Family serve as a confession of their corruption as they sold out the American people to enrich themselves," House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said in a statement. "Our investigation revealed that at least ten members of the Biden Crime Family and their associates raked in over $30 million by selling Joe Biden's influence to corrupt foreign entities and individuals in China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and Kazakhstan. The legacy media should be ashamed of themselves for covering up Joe Biden and his family's abuse of power, corruption, and obstruction. The American people have seen through the legacy media's coverup and the Bidens' lies, and they know the truth: President Biden abused his public office to create a slush fund for his family. President Biden will go down as the most corrupt president in U.S. history, and our investigation will be remembered as one of the most successful ever conducted by Congress."

The Editor says...
If nobody went to prison, how is that a successful investigation?

Biden ends his presidency with hypocritical and terribly dangerous pardons. As we all knew would happen, Biden's last act was to pardon every bad actor in his administration. This is hypocritical, to say the least, given his government's vindictive pursuit of everyone in the Trump administration, including Trump himself. However, even worse than that, it sets a dangerous precedent that can destroy the American Constitution — and no, I'm not exaggerating. [...] Our nation is founded on the Rule of Law. Our Constitution is the bulwark for a government that is constrained by a contract with the People and the legal principles that flow from that contract. However, Biden created a new precedent that undercuts the rule of law entirely and unleashes the executive branch in a way that threatens to undermine the Constitution. Why do I say this? Because, moving forward, future administrations can have their employees do anything and everything the administration wants. Then, the president can pardon all this illegal conduct because the next administration might prosecute the actors.

Biden's Final Act in Office: Joe Pardons Family After Claiming They Did "Nothing" Wrong. In his final moments as president, just as President Trump was preparing to take the oath of office, Biden unleashed a tsunami of pardons that would make Tony Soprano look like an amateur. The outgoing president granted clemency to five family members deeply involved in the Biden family business, including his brothers, James and Frank Biden. The pardons, announced literally minutes before Biden departed the White House, cover his siblings and their spouses, who have been central figures in various financial dealings that caught the attention of House investigators. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer didn't mince words, calling the moves "a confession of their corruption as they sold out the American people to enrich themselves." The investigation revealed a staggering $30 million in payments from foreign entities between 2014-2019 alone.

Biden commutes sentence for Leonard Peltier, Indigenous activist convicted in 1975 killing of FBI agents. With just moments left before he leaves office, President Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, who was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents. Peltier was denied parole as recently as July and wasn't eligible for parole again until 2026. He was serving life in prison for the deaths of the agents during a standoff on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He will transition to home confinement, Biden said in a statement. "President Biden took an enormous step toward healing and reconciliation with the Native American people in this country," Peltier's former attorney Kevin Sharp said in a statement Monday. "It took nearly 50 years to acknowledge the injustice of Leonard Peltier's conviction and continued incarceration, but with the president's act of mercy Leonard can finally return to his reservation and live out his remaining days."

Goodbye to Joe Biden, and Whoever Was President the Last Four Years. For four years, while Buster Keatonesque videos of stumbling, tumbling Biden filled social media, a mere handful of clues leaked about the ethereal "Presidency" running the American superpower. The latter existed separate from Biden and is scheduled to slither aside Monday. It exits on a bitter note, blaming an "avalanche of misinformation and disinformation" (not enough censorship) for its inability to be re-elected while strapped to a corpse. It hopes to get away unseen and probably will, as reporters prepare to chase the great baited hook that is Donald Trump.

How Mike Johnson Fumbled the Question of Biden's Senility. Last Friday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La), in an interview with Bari Weiss, made several revelations about Joe Biden. [...] Johnson's revelation isn't shocking anyone paying attention. Biden's incapacity was obvious to Democrats during the 2020 Democrat Primary. Biden's decline was obvious to anyone when he appeared lost and confused on many occasions. [...] It was obvious that Biden couldn't possibly be running the country. This was a crisis like never before. To run a country by proxy is what occurs in third-world dictatorships or communist nations. This is not the way the world's sole superpower should function. When the nation is confronted with a grave crisis of this scale, four groups must function as watchdogs, namely the news media, government agencies, honorable members of the party that the President belongs to, and the political opposition. Alas, over many decades the mainstream media has devolved into the PR wing for the Democrats.

The Lousiest President of All Time. Anybody who wants to explain how bad the Biden administration is has to start with COVID. [...] [T]his society was immediately cleaved in two. All the healthy and thoughtful people were pitted against the sanctimonious do-gooders, the goose-steppers, and the hysterical weaklings. And they beat us into submission, big time. And Joe Biden was their champion. Almost overnight, millions were thrown out of work, and a vaccine was made up that nobody had properly tested, which no company was liable for and, in its experimental form, until the pandemic hit, had never been approved by the FDA. Joe Biden tried to force every American in a company of more than 100 people to take it or lose his job — around two thirds of the whole country, it turned out. Heart attacks in teenagers went through the roof. People had to choose between gambling their health and losing their homes. Pfizer was completely unaccountable and made a windfall. Mom-and-Pop stores across the nation went bankrupt, and gyms and churches were forced shut, and Walmart and Amazon made a killing. To make up for the mass unemployment Democrats caused and encouraged, Joe decided to print more money than anyone ever did in American history — a bill worth $1.9 trillion, which singlehandedly made the dollar implode. This made everybody in the country take a giant pay cut, effectively, and now most Americans can't afford the groceries they were buying in 2019.

Biden's So-Called 'Oligarchs'. In his last address, Joe Biden offered a Parthian shot at "oligarchs" and the dangers these "billionaires" pose to the republic. At the same time, left-wing senators hammered Trump cabinet nominees on the grounds that they would be too complacent in the face of a supposed takeover of the country by Trump's "billionaires" and their "oligarchy." Many things could be said about Biden's farewell address, but I will limit them to three. First, Biden was attempting to copycat the warnings of outgoing president and iconic war hero Dwight D. Eisenhower. [...] Second, until November 2024, Biden had no problems with oligarchs. In fact, he courted and used them. And they, in turn, eagerly donated lavishly to his agenda. Multibillionaire George Soros nearly wrecked the criminal justice system by pouring millions of dollars into big-city radical district attorney races to ensure the election of left-wing ideologues who would not arrest, indict, jail, convict or incarcerate thousands of dangerous violent felons — all in pursuit of bankrupt progressive ideas like "critical legal theory" and "critical race theory".

Biden pardons Fauci, Milley, Jan. 6 committee ahead of Trump inauguration. President Biden on Monday morning, just hours before President Trump's inauguration, granted pardons to Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) and other members of the House panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 attack. Biden said he was doing so to protect the public servants, who have all faced attacks from the man about to replace Biden in the White House. "These public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions," Biden said in a statement. Biden issued pardons for Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who led the nation's COVID-19 pandemic response, and Milley, the former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Joe Biden's Long Goodbye. What is the Joe Biden Democrat legacy? Lies and using the government hammer to make their fortune as they sold their country to foreign powers like China. That is the Biden legacy. It was always lies with China Joe. He'll always be a liar. He was a liar 50 years ago when he used his brother as the bagman and he's a liar now as a senile old man, with his son Hunter as the family bagman. They're old school Democrats, and so they've always been grifters as well. The Biden Crime Family have been grifters for a half century, using Democrat politics and the government hammer to build their fortunes, taking treasure from foreign oligarchs in China, Russia, Ukraine and elsewhere while wrapping themselves up in American patriotic virtue. And they've also taken from American tech oligarchs like Mark Zuckerberg and others who paid the Bidens big-time by helping them suppress legitimate news stories to protect Biden Inc., and the Biden hold on power.

CBS Morning Show: Only history will tell us whether Biden is remembered as the best or only a great president. Who ARE these people, and at what point did having a lobotomy become a requirement for being a "journalist" on these shows? Among normal Americans — at least the ones who went to school back when American history was taught as something other than one long train of colonialist abuses — the hot topic when Joe Biden's ranking among the presidents is whether he is in competition with James Buchanan as one of the most actively harmful presidents, or with Jimmy Carter as one of its most inept. I suppose you could compare Joe Biden to Wilson — he was both awful as a policy president and also had his brain turn to absolute mush. Wilson for the win, I guess. And no doubt the folks at CBS would like Wilson. He threw his political opponents in jail, expanded the federal government, loved the administrative state, hated the Constitution, and pursued a "peaceful" foreign policy that left the world in flames.

There's Bad News Coming for the National Security Officials Who Pushed the Hunter Biden Laptop Lie. It's time for some revenge. Sorry, I want scalps nailed to the walls in some cases. After he's sworn in as the 47th president of the United States today, President Donald J. Trump will issue between 50-200 executive orders in the coming days. We could see 100 later today. From immigration, DEI insanity, increasing energy production, and getting the Biden price hikes under control, Trump will likely undo what soon-to-be-former President Biden has done in four miserable years. Yet, he's also planning to revoke the security clearances of dozens of national security officials who lied about the Hunter Biden laptop.

In one final insult to victims, Biden commutes sentences of killers and sex traffickers. I guess sex trafficking, violent assault, gun possession and murder all count as "non-violent drug offenses" in Joe Biden's America, and crime victims are irrelevant. In his last days, Biden commuted the sentences of 2,500 federal defendants he claimed were convicted of "non-violent drug offenses, who are serving disproportionately long sentences." Biden is either lying or his senior advisers are lying to him. Biden reduced the sentence of Lairon Graham, 67, a Buffalo man convicted in 2023 of organizing and heading a drug conspiracy to sell fentanyl, crack, cocaine and heroin. When police raided his home, they found fentanyl, crack and cash. He also possessed a firearm in his residence. In addition to heading up the drug gang, Graham was also convicted of "sex trafficking by force or coercion" from 2013 to 2021.

The Art of the Dodge: Hakeem Jeffries Flails and Squirms When Confronted Over Biden Gaslighting. We've reported extensively on what should be considered one of the top political scandals of the century: the years-long conspiracy by the media, the First Family, high-level Democrats and the corrupt corporate press to hide the reality of Joe Biden's mental decline from the public. Now, as the president prepares to become the former president tomorrow, Monday, more and more stories keep dribbling out from accomplices like Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who are revealing that the signs were there for all to see but he and his ilk simply fibbed about it. Here's three-plus minutes of the media lying to you: [Tweet with video clip]

Strange interlude. "President Biden" probably won't be done inflicting harm on the United States until he leaves office later today. There is yet more to come. At the moment, we have today's preemptive pardons. Biden's "presidency" already seems like a strange interlude in our history. One might have thought that only an avowed enemy of the United States would open our borders and invite the rest of the world to come on down (or up, as the case may be). Along with many other such items one might have thought — items such the proposition that boys and men should be allowed to force themselves into the women's bathrooms and women's sports by law — not so. One might have thought that a man with half a mind to be president would long ago have been exposed and relieved of his duties. Not so either.

JD Vance Just Obliterated Joe Biden on Social Media. Is it a sign of senility or bad staff work? It's likely a combination of both since Joe Biden's mental decline was noticeable on day one of his presidency, which led to staffers and his inner circle wrapping the aging Delaware liberal in bubble wrap for the past four years. Biden is mentally cooked, and his staff seems to have been pushing policies that skirted constitutional norms. Some might not even be legal since the president admitted he doesn't remember signing some executive orders, but that's for another time. [Advertisement] Biden declared this week that the Equal Rights Amendment is in the books. It's codified, which led to a bunch of Democrats rejoicing. The only problem is that it isn't true. The community note was brutal: ["]The Archivist of the United States, charged with officially publishing ratified amendments, has confirmed that the ERA was not ratified and based that analysis on binding legal precedent. There is no 28th Amendment.["] Biden and the Democrats were roundly mocked over this eye-roll-worthy victory lap. It's such a failed presidency that even their wins are fake news.

Biden's Equal Rights Amendment stunt is an effort to break the system. Of course, a president "affirming what I have long believed" is as meaningless as a state's "ratifying" a proposed constitutional amendment after the deadline has expired. (And Congress does have the authority to set such deadlines.) Biden's puppet masters know this. But they also know that leftists will respond by imposing the ERA on Americans' consciousness and institutions. Thus, Wikipedia responded instantly by pretending that the Constitution now has 28 Amendments: [Tweet]

Speaker Mike Johnson Drops Bombshell, Proves Biden Was Never President For The Past 4 Years. During a one-on-one meeting, Speaker Johnson asked President Biden why he paused LNG exports to Europe, says Biden was completely unaware he had done so. The United States hasn't had a president for four years. Johnson says Biden was completely unaware of an executive order he signed. The comments from Johnson came during an interview with Bari Weiss. [Video clip]

Mike Johnson Recounts Meeting With Joe Biden, Shocks With Tale of Senility and Subterfuge. With President Joe Biden soon to be out of politics for good, the tales of just how far gone he has been over the last four years are getting more and more disturbing. In mid-December, RedState shared a post-election report detailing his memory and sundowning issue. Of course, it's been known for years that Biden was facing serious cognitive decline. That it only became acceptable for major press outlets to discuss it in the last couple of months is an indictment of their credibility. [Advertisement] It's not just news outlets that are sharing scary stories about Biden, though. House Speaker Mike Johnson recently sat down for an interview and described a wild meeting with the outgoing president. [Video clip]

It Isn't Funny. We and many others had fun yesterday at Joe Biden's expense. He tweeted an announcement: the Equal Rights Amendment has been adopted! It's the law of the land! No one took it seriously; if a president really tried to change the Constitution via executive order, he would be impeached and driven from office. Personally, I doubt Biden has any idea that he tweeted the supposed adoption of the ERA. I assume that was done by some nameless intern in the White House. Democrats see no problem with the fact that we have a president who has no idea what is going on. Happily, we have only two more days to go. But Biden has been out of commission for most of his term in office, maybe all of it. [...] It is easy to ridicule Biden's obvious incapacity, but his senility is no laughing matter. We haven't had a real president for a long time — maybe four years. In the Constitution, the executive function of government is embodied in the president. The Executive Branch reports to him. That is what the Constitution says, but it isn't how our government has functioned since 2021. Someone has been making executive decisions, but it wasn't the President.

Biden: After I'm Gone, I Don't Care What Happens. [Scroll down] Misusing his pardon powers, besides pardoning his son Hunter for a multitude of crimes, [Biden] commuted the death sentences of 37 men who had been convicted of child rape, serial murders, and cop killing. He just issued 2500 new commutations, ostensibly for those with drug convictions, many of whom were drug dealers of the worst sort. He and his administration have been shoveling money out the door as fast as they can, among others to people with student loans (despite repeated court setbacks), to Ukraine and to favored companies — this week it was a $6.7 billion low-cost loan to Rivian, a company that manufactures luxury electric vehicles. Since 2020, the national debt under Biden has ballooned to $13 trillion. On her way out of office Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellin indicated the U.S. debt limit will be reached on Tuesday, a day after the inauguration. This means that the federal government after Tuesday will not be able to borrow to pay already-authorized spending, and that Treasury will have to adopt "extraordinary measures" to temporarily finance government expenditures and obligations. In other words, the profligate spending will leave the incoming Trump with a fiscal crisis.

Biden burns it all down on his way out the door. How much more damage can President Biden do to this country on his final days in office? A lot. Before dawn Friday morning, the octogenarian Democrat proudly pardoned or commuted the prison sentences of a record number of individuals the far-left hailed as guilty of "non-violent" drug offenses. It doesn't take a rocket scientist, or even a Republican, to see that many of these hardened criminals are anything but peaceful. Take, for example, Dwayne Appling, 37, of Illinois. He's just one of the thousands of soon-to-be-freed drug traffickers, an armed and dangerous career criminal and gang banger. And one whom Biden found worthy last month of having his 27-year sentence drastically reduced, plunked back on the streets to sell heroin and other poison to children. Or worse. In a lot of these cases, there is a body count.

Biden pardons 2,500 for what he claims were 'non-violent' drug offenses. In the past few weeks, following his pardon of his corrupt son, Hunter, Joe Biden has commuted and pardoned over 4,000 other people. [...] Which is pretty unprecedented and extreme, and sure to unleash another crime wave upon America as President Trump takes office. It also highlights the hypocrisy of the Democrats, who clap like seals to hear of criminals and predators being let out of prison. Trump's attorney-general designate, Pam Bondi, who is now in Senate confirmation hearings, had the disgusting experience of having to enage a belligerent, congenital liar, Adam Schiff, who asked her if she would personally review all files before Trump issues pardons or commutations on J-6 trespassers, who were mostly peaceful. [...] Does anyone think Biden reviews the records of anyone before he signs the papers that someone shoves in front of his face? The other day, it didn't even appear he knew where to sign a document.

There's a good argument that Biden's mass pardons are unconstitutional. The Constitution has three clearly delineated branches of government: Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary. Technically, the Executive cannot legislate or pass judgment, the Legislature cannot take on administrative duties or decide cases, and the Judiciary cannot manage the government or legislate. [...] But now it's time to go back to the White House statements about Biden's mass pardons and commutations. In both cases, Biden is not saying that the law was too harshly applied to individuals or that the nation's wounds need binding. Instead, he has proudly announced that he doesn't like the applicable laws and is unilaterally rewriting them. That is a purely legislative act that is entirely outside the president's constitutional purview, including the broad pardon power. Biden can say he's issued the commutations and pardons, but he actually hasn't. Trump would be well within his authority to reinstate the death penalty sentences, although I suspect the drug pardons will get a pass. A lot of evil people are going to plague our nation again.

Biden Wanders the White House With a Milkshake. Joe Biden was a one-man blooper reel. He was a never-ending source of fodder for columnists and humorists and never failed to amaze, baffle, and sometimes even terrify those of us tasked with chronicling and commenting on the last four years. Potential senility aside, were it not for the fact that he is a mean-spirited, corrupt, avaricious, and vindictive old man who felt entitled to his ride in the Oval Office despite driving the nation to the brink of poverty and chaos and the world to the edge of war, I could almost feel sorry for him. Actually, no, I couldn't.

Biden Proved Wrong on ERA Amendment by National Archives, Community Notes. On his way out, President Joe Biden continues to wreak havoc and cause plenty of confusion. With just three days to go until President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated, Biden announced on Friday that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is now "the law of the land" as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution as part of yet another desperate attempt to keep focusing on promoting abortion. The eligibility for ratification long expired, according to the National Archives. Several states have also rescinded their ratification. Nevada voted to ratify the ERA in 2017, becoming the first state to do so since 1977. Thirty-eight states were required to ratify the amendment in order for it to pass, though that didn't happen until Virginia did so in January 2020, according to the Brennan Center. Further, in January 2022 — during Biden's term — the Assistant Attorney General Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice (DOJ) released a memo for the Counsel to the President on the legal status for ratifying the ERA.

If you're going to pull a fast one and rule by executive flimflam, do it on a Friday.
Biden Attempts To Change The Constitution Via Press Release On His Way Out. It's normal for elderly people with dementia to say things that don't represent reality. It's not so normal for those people to be president. After years of fist-thumping about the "rule of law," Joe Biden is ending his presidency with a bizarre attempt to press-release a constitutional amendment into existence. "I affirm what I believe and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: the 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex," Biden (or whatever staffer guides Biden's hand) wrote on Friday morning. The "Equal Rights Amendment," which would prohibit the government from recognizing differences between women and men, died 43 years ago when it failed to obtain ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures. It's dead in the water. [...] Biden's weird Hail Mary accomplishes nothing but weakening the Constitution, and he knows it. Making it easier for Democrats to trample on the Constitution next time is the entire point.

Biden Says New Constitutional Amendment Is Ratified, Despite Opposition. President Joe Biden on Jan. 17 announced he has ratified the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), despite the U.S. archivist recently saying the president could not ratify the constitutional amendment. [...] Biden pointed to how Virginia in 2020 became the 38th state to ratify the ERA, which would prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender. The U.S. archivist and U.S. deputy archivist said in late 2024 that the president could not ratify the amendment because the amendment did not receive the required support from three-fourths of the states by the deadline Congress imposed, which was June 30, 1982. The Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel in 2020, while Donald Trump was president, and in 2022, after Biden took office, also said that ratification cannot occur unless Congress or the courts extend or remove the ratification deadline.

Biden Goes on Screaming Tyrannical Rant About Unilaterally Declaring a 28th Amendment to the Constitution. Joe Biden on Friday unilaterally declared a 28th Amendment to the US Constitution. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has not been ratified. The ERA states: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article." There are currently 27 Amendments to the US Constitution, not 28.

The Equal Rights Amendment Is Back, and Old Joe Biden Says It's Now the Law of the Land. Remember the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)? It's back, and Old Joe Biden, trying to do as much damage to the nation as he can before he slouches off to his taxpayer-funded Delaware beach house for good on Monday, now says that it's the law of the land. What's that? You didn't notice that we suddenly have a new Constitutional amendment? Well, we may not, but on Friday, Old Joe's joyful announcement that the amendment was a done deal added an eggbeater to already troubled waters. The ERA was a central preoccupation of the 1970s when the outgoing figurehead was just beginning his storied career as a leftist prevaricator, character assassin (see Clarence Thomas for details), and premier corruptocrat in the United States Senate. Feminists bombarded Americans with propaganda slogans including "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" and "A woman's place is in the House... and the Senate." But when Congress approved the ERA on March 22, 1972, it set a deadline of seven years for the necessary three-fourths of the states to approve it. That deadline came and went on March 22, 1979, with only 35 states approving of the amendment. Thirty-eight were needed, so that was that. In 2017, however, as the #MeToo movement was cresting, Nevada became the 36th state to approve the ERA, with Illinois following in 2018 and Virginia in 2020.

"No one is above the law!" That's what he usually says, but not today.
Biden sets record for most pardons and commutations with new round of clemency for nonviolent drug offenders. President Joe Biden said Friday he is commuting the sentences of more than 2,000 people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses, cementing his legacy as the president who has issued the most individual pardons and commutations in U.S. history. Biden said in a statement that commuting the nearly 2,500 sentences would help "equalize" sentencing disparities. "Today's clemency action provides relief for individuals who received lengthy sentences based on discredited distinctions between crack and powder cocaine, as well as outdated sentencing enhancements for drug crimes," he said. "This action is an important step toward righting historic wrongs, correcting sentencing disparities, and providing deserving individuals the opportunity to return to their families and communities after spending far too much time behind bars," he added. "With this action, I have now issued more individual pardons and commutations than any president in U.S. history," Biden said.

The Editor says...
Since Joe Biden is too senile to do his job, it is obvious that somebody else wrote this "clemency action." Maybe it's the same person who left a bag of cocaine in the White House, the ownership of which was impossible for the Secret Service to determine.

Arrogant Biden could care less about 'oligarchs'. In his final remarks to the American people on Wednesday night, President Joe Biden launched a parting shot at the tech "oligarchy" that he says is taking over the country. Such arrogant and hypocritical remarks should be met with scorn by all those who languished under the program of social media censorship for the previous four years — a program largely forced on tech companies by the Biden White House, as an example of the very kind of merging of government and corporate power Biden now claims to oppose. "Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead," said Biden.

Hunter Biden was in the Oval Office for dad's farewell speech. Disgraced first son Hunter Biden was seated just steps away from his father, President Biden, as the outgoing commander in chief called on Americans to respect "the courts" and "pay their fair share" of taxes during his final Oval Office address Wednesday. Biden, 82, asserted that his more than 50 years in public office has taught him that "believing the idea of America means respecting institutions that govern a free society," including "the courts" — as his recently pardoned 54-year-old son looked on. In his farewell speech, the outgoing president also urged wealthy Americans to "play by the same rules" and "pay their fair share of taxes." Last September, the first son pleaded guilty to nine tax charges — including three felonies — for dodging $1.4 million in payments to the IRS while spending extravagantly on "drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing," and other personal items.

The Editor says...
I wonder if "Devout Catholic" Biden knows what eventually happens to shameless unrepentant liars.

$174 Million in Anonymous Contributions: Biden Is the Top Recipient of Dark Money Support in American Political History. "Joe Biden received $174 million in anonymous contributions, making him the top recipient of dark money support in American political history." And that doesn't count the other $1B+ groups like Arabella spent for Dems in 2020 alone. This con man, this grifter, this Soros puppet had the audacity to admonish the American people last night, "Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power, and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead."

Biden Declares 'Oligarchy' of 'Extreme Wealth, Power' Threatens Democracy'. President Joe Biden declared during his farewell address that an "oligarchy" of the "ultra-wealthy" and powerful is forming that "threatens our entire democracy." Joe Biden issued his warning while speaking to the American public from the Oval Office for the final time. [Tweet with video clip] "...I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern ... and that's a dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra-wealthy people," Biden said.

The Editor says...
Who are the ultra-wealthy people that Biden considers dangerous? And here's a related question: What is the average net worth of the members of the US Congress? A list of the fifty wealthiest members of Congress exists on Wikipedia, but it doesn't include Nancy Pelosi, who should be #3 on the list.

Nobody empowered oligarchs like Biden did. As part of Biden's farewell speech (where he spread a tremendous amount of misinformation, while claiming to care about the dangers of misinformation), he warned about billionaires having too much power. Throughout Biden's four years in office, he has had unelected bureaucrats abusing their power issuing regulations as fast as they can. These regulations put massive burdens on businesses and especially harm the small- and medium-sized businesses Biden only pretends to care about. The regulations that CFPB, FDIC, and others force on banks destroys small banks and makes big banks more powerful. Obamacare made big insurance companies much more powerful. It destroyed the ability of small- and medium-sized health insurance companies to compete and that forced all Americans to pay more. The COVID lockdowns that Democrats kept in place for a long time destroyed small businesses and made big businesses much more powerful. Biden never said a word about companies such as Meta or anyone else having too much power while they were supporting him. Only now is he supposedly scared.

Biden Blanks On How To Sign A Bill After 50 Years In Government. President Joe Biden's continued public decline was on display Tuesday as he appeared to forget how to sign a bill despite serving as an elected official since 1971. "The second I'm signing is the establishment of the Highlands National Monument. Here we go. I gotta fill this in?" Biden asked a room full of onlookers as he attempted to sign a bill to designate the Sáttítla Highlands National Monument. [Advertisement] He stammered and eked out what sounded like it could be a mention of "Sáttítla," the name of the new monuments, as he appeared confused. "The day of?" he read from the bill before looking around and asking his staffers "you'll fill in the dates here, guys?" The onlookers laughed. "All right," Biden said after the laughter died down. [Video clip] As he signed the bill someone in the room reminded him of the date. "It's the 14th, sir," the man said.

No One Wants A Biden Presidential Library. Every president is actively encouraged to plan and construct an official repository of his documents from his time in office. The resulting library is more than the collection of the paperwork generated during his tenure, however. It is also where items like official gifts to the president and his spouse are housed. [...] Having visited a number of presidential libraries, I now find myself wondering: What will the future Joe Biden Museum and Library be like? More to the point: Who is going to want to visit it? Who is going to want to be on staff there? What has Biden accomplished? Half a century is a long time by any measure, but even more so when one devotes a lifetime to an ever-precarious career in politics. Surely there has to be something good in there to commemorate... right? Perhaps not. Biden's life and time in office have been thoroughly ridden with malpractice, corruption, and abuse of power. There is absolutely nothing commendable about Biden and his career, especially about his four years in the White House. If they are going to be remembered at all, it will be with derision and mockery. How does a library accommodate that reality without descending into full-scale revisionism?

Epic Failures of Incompetent Leaders. Crisis and times of chaos are those crucial points when our cultural disaffection with leadership qualities costs us all dearly. When your house is burning you might be grateful to see a "toxic male" running to the rescue. We might not mind the patriarchy if it saves our neighborhood and our city. During a crisis, the pace of decision-making and action increases dramatically. Speed becomes a necessity. Rapidity may mean coercive power tactics and harsh words may be used. Successful leaders are often bold and assertive. They cannot be concerned with their own popularity when moving quickly and speaking abruptly. They grab the reins of power and command action throughout their playing field and among all the relevant players. Those making decisions cannot be risk-averse or hesitant. They must be confident and secure in their own decision-making abilities. Those who need more time to analyze, to gather data, and to gain input from others will be lost in a cloud of confusion. Chaos reigns when a leader cannot, or will not, lead.

A Confused Joe Biden Has No Idea What He's Doing as He Signs New National Monument Into Law. Joe Biden on Tuesday [1/14/2025] signed proclamations to establish the Chuckwalla National Monument and the Sáttítla Highlands National Monument in California. "The 624,000-acre Chuckwalla National Monument in Southern California will be located at the meeting of the Mojave and Colorado deserts and will include mountain ranges, rock formations, woodlands and canyons, including the Painted Canyon, which is known for its colorful walls," The Hill reported. "The 224,000-acre Sáttítla Highlands National Monument is in Northern California and features the dormant Medicine Lake Volcano," The Hill reported.

Special Counsel David Weiss's Final Report: 'Inappropriate to Discuss' More Hunter Biden Charges. Special Counsel David Weiss issued a brief report Monday on his investigation into the criminal conduct of Hunter Biden and claimed that "it would be inappropriate to discuss whether additional charges are warranted." Marco Polo, a nonprofit that compiled a dossier on the Biden family, estimates Hunter violated more than 140 statutes. Most, if not all, of those alleged violations occurred between 2014-2024, the period of time for which President Joe Biden pardoned his son. "Other presidents have pardoned family members, but in doing so, none have taken the occasion as an opportunity to malign the public servants at the Department of Justice based solely on false accusations," Weiss wrote.

Biden's legacy. Reading serious reference to President Biden's "legacy" as though it is anything but an unprecedented catastrophe presents a challenge to my progress in anger management. Joe Biden — this is the guy who opened our borders and invited the world to "come on down," like someone trying to find his calling as a game show host. This is the guy who deployed the forces of the Department of Justice to incapacitate his foremost political opponent. This is the guy who never said a true word about the corrupt family business and enlisted the former denizens of the deep state to disparage evidence of his corruption as Russian disinformation — that is. to lie about it. This is a guy whose staff worked overtime to protect him from exposure of his age-related mental debility and suppress true information of all kinds.

We Need Immediate Action to Reverse Joe Biden's Executive Orders. On Joe Biden's first day in office in January 2021, he signed seventeen executive orders. These orders are notorious and remained controversial throughout his term in office. They included such measures as stopping the Keystone Pipeline — an order that was blamed for rising gasoline prices throughout Biden's term (the real cause of such price increases was the Biden administration's massive spending sprees, but the pipeline shutdown made the situation worse). [...] These orders and others were created and signed without a national consensus and generally without legislative authority. These actions set a precedent that undermines the other two branches of government and the Constitution itself. All of Donald Trump's supporters are aware of what Joe Biden has done — especially these executive orders. Executive branch efforts to limit the authority of the other two branches have become notorious in the Biden-Obama administrations. The only way to take the initiative, reverse the prior encroachments on Constitutional checks and balances, and undo the harm of the past four years is to undo all recent executive orders.

Biden and Harris Hold a Wildfire Briefing, and It Turns Into a Total Disaster. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris decided to cosplay as leaders on Monday by giving a briefing on the devastating California wildfires. That's the thing about pretending, though. It rarely ends well, and things went downhill very quickly. [Advertisement] While sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, Biden kept his eyes locked on his script, bragging about giving victims a "one-time payment of $770." What that is supposed to accomplish wasn't immediately apparent. [Tweet with video clip] Giving away a one-time payment of $770 is basically meaningless to anyone who lost their home in the wildfires. That might cover a few nights at a hotel, but that's about it. It certainly won't be useful in actually recovering from the damage. But let's put that aside because this is a matter of priorities. For context, at the end of December, it was reported that the United States had provided $3.4 billion to pay the salaries of Ukrainian bureaucrats and schoolteachers. Not to buy weapons for soldiers on the front line, not to supply ammunition, but to pay government officials living in the safest parts of the country.

The Editor says...
You would have probably received a one-time payment of $855, but they had to skim off 10 percent for the Big Guy.

Delusional and Insulting: Joe Biden Uses Final Foreign Policy Speech to Shamelessly Lie to Americans. Mercifully, President Joe Biden gave the last foreign policy speech of his single term on Monday, and it was as delusional and insulting as you'd expect. Instead of taking responsibility for his laundry list of failures, including the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, Biden painted a much rosier picture, proclaiming America's enemies have become "weaker" under his leadership. [...] Here's the kicker, though. Nothing Biden did led to any present-day weakening of Iran. The destruction of Iran's proxies in Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza happened because Israel ignored every red line the Biden administration set in terms of military action.

How Joe Biden became America's obstructor-in-chief. In his final days at the White House, President Biden is preparing to deliver multiple speeches in an effort to shape his legacy. But make no mistake: the history books on Joe Biden are already written. Let's rewind for a moment back to January 2023, when the House Oversight Committee began to investigate Biden's involvement in his family's corrupt influence-peddling operation. According to Joe Biden, everything Hunter Biden did was "ethical;" no member of the Biden family took money from China or other foreign entities; he knew nothing about his son's business dealings; and he never met with or spoke with any of the foreign nationals who had wired the Biden family money.

Biden Rules Out Plans to Pardon Himself: 'I Didn't Do Anything Wrong'. President Joe Biden ruled out the idea of pardoning himself, explaining he had not thought of pardoning himself because he "didn't do anything wrong." During a press conference at the White House, Biden was asked if he had "ruled out" issuing a pardon for himself or "any other additional members" of his family.

It's Not Too Late to Boot Biden. President Biden has gotten an undeserved free pass for violating the 25th Amendment. That goes double for Kamala Harris and by extension the Democrat party. Governing while incapacitated will prove to be the most serious offense of the Biden presidency, with stiff competition. Even now, Biden should be removed from office, given that the constitutional process takes immediate effect. No one doubts that Biden's mental decline has rendered him "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." Not a single voice argues to the contrary. The residual debate for historians is when the inability commenced. Did his cognitive decline predate and explain his basement campaign? How long has the legacy press misled the public on his behalf? [...] First and foremost, [the 25th Amendment] specified that the president is obligated to declare his own inability, either temporarily or permanently. Biden thus bears specific constitutional responsibility for failing to remove himself from office. His exercise of power while disabled exceeds that of Edith Wilson, marking Biden's term as the most constitutionally illegitimate in U.S. history.

Joe Biden Falls Asleep at Jimmy Carter's Funeral. Joe Biden fell asleep during Jimmy Carter's funeral on Thursday. Former President Jimmy Carter passed away at the age of 100 last month. All five US presidents attended Jimmy Carter's funeral: Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

Biden Bends His Knee To Radical Islam And Pays Tribute To Terrorists. Joe Biden began his Presidency by ordering a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. In a matter of weeks, twenty years' worth of effort was squandered. Our forces fled. Our allies were routed. The Taliban went house to house using our own security files and technology to identify those who had cooperated with us and haul them away to be tortured to death. Biden and his minions assured us the Taliban were now our allies in fighting terrorism. To date, his administration has paid these jihadists $2 billion even as they harbor Al Qaida, ISIS, and other groups and provide them the platform they need to prepare fresh attacks on the United States and its allies. [Video clip] In Afghanistan, women are forbidden to leave the house without a male escort. They cannot speak in public. They cannot stand in the windows of their own homes if they can be seen from outside. They are denied education and are sold as child brides to old men who keep them in sexual slavery. [Video clip] Syria is now under the control of radical jihadists who are busy creating their own Islamic emirate in the heart of the Middle East.

Joe Biden Is And Always Was A Massive Jerk. Joe Biden, especially since becoming president, has benefited from corporate media portraying him as a unifier, civil, and even a "decent" man. He is not. In fact, when the going gets mildly tough, Biden flies off the handle. [Numerous anecdotes.]

This has Barack H. Obama's fingerprints all over it:
Joe Biden Releases Dangerous Islamist Terrorists from Guantanamo Bay Just Days Before Trump Takes Over. The return of President Donald Trump to the White House cannot come soon enough because Joe Biden continues to burn down the country before he departs for good. His latest move will likely come at the cost of American lives. The New York Times reported Monday that the Biden regime has decided to release 11 dangerous Islamist Yemeni terrorists from Guantanamo Bay to Oman for them to supposedly 'start new lives.' Oman has supposedly ensured they will 'monitor' the newly released prisoners. As NPR notes, all of these savages were captured following the 9/11 terror attacks. Some had been cleared for transfer previously under the Barack Obama regime but remained at Gitmo for political and diplomatic factors. In recent weeks, the U.S. has also released four other Guantánamo inmates: a Kenyan, a Tunisian and two Malaysians. This cuts the total number of prisoners at Gitmo precisely in half, from 30 to 15 prisoners.

What Joe knows. Biden is angry in a an old-man-shouting-at-clouds sort of way. He could have beaten Trump if someone hadn't elbowed him aside! He shouldn't have appointed Merrick Garland as Attorney General! Garland was too slow on uptake of the Trump lawfare beat! You can tell Biden is choking on his own bile. He's senile. He's unfit. And we have a couple of weeks to go before he is scheduled to exit the White House daycare program.

Will We Make It Until Jan. 20? Joe Biden's first 46 months in the White House were an exercise in political vandalism, the effects of which the world will be dealing with for years. But it wasn't enough for him. He's accelerated his offensive on his way out. Inauguration Day can't arrive soon enough. The candidate who ran in 2020 on restoring dignity to the office of the president is a small and petty man. This is not a revelation but a fact known since he "served" in the U.S. Senate and was especially evident when ran for president the first time, nearly four decades ago, dropping out after he could no longer cover his serial lies, blatant plagiarism and the vicious side of his personality. So it's not in the least surprising that he would try to burn down the world around him as he moves toward the door.

The Editor says...
[#1] Leaving stink bombs for President Trump is exactly what Barack H. Obama did, eight years ago. [#2] Joe Biden is not mentally capable of running the "Biden administration," so an anonymous committee is doing so. The person most likely to be in charge of that committee is either Valerie Jarrett or Barack H. Obama. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to attribute the current series of stink bombs to Barack H. Obama.

Why Biden Is Carpet Bombing His Exit. In every way possible, on every from he's able, abusing as much power as he possibly can the current President of the United States is attempting to obliterate America. At the end of the very same week where at minimum two terrorist attacks were attempted on American soil, Biden decided to release a terrorist from Guantanamo Bay. In a day where crime has exploded across our cities and violent crime taking human life, Biden commutes nearly all of the sentences of mass murders on death row. And at week's end he awarded the most anti-American, anti-western, anti-Semite the infamous George Soros the Presidential Medal of Honor. He's literally rewarded terrorists, killers, and treason. He is unrepentant about opening the southern border and saying "ya'll come." And his minions in legacy media like Lawrence O'Donnell are out there pushing the theory that the real tie connecting heinous murderous terror pushing devils is the uniform of the U.S. Army instead of the fact that they get radicalized and change their names to something like "Jabbar."

Joe Biden's fiscal time bomb is set to explode just in time time for Trump to take office. As evidence keeps building that the hapless Biden administration couldn't end fast enough, there's also evidence that the first Trump presidency of strong growth and low inflation pre-COVID won't return immediately. That's the signal we're getting from the bond market: The possibility that the fiscal time bomb of nonstop spending that Joe Biden and his minions have planted is ready to explode just in time for Trump to take office. Most of the financial punditry is too obsessed with stock indexes to appreciate the bond market's warning signs. Stock prices have their place, of course. When investors pile into stocks as they've been doing since Trump's election — until recently, that is — it's an indication that many are betting his policies of lower taxes and less regulation will lead to higher corporate earnings and GDP growth.

Biden soils the Presidential Medal of Freedom. A naked globalist, [George] Soros was openly disdainful for concepts like citizenship and patriotism, calling himself "a stateless statesman." Sound like the kind of guy who ought to be getting a U.S. citizenship award? He hates conservatives, and in the wake of 9/11, said that America was in need of "de-Nazification." Worse still, his meddling in domestic politics yielded monstrosities like the "Secretaries of State Project" to elect leftists to count ballots around the country, open borders of course, decriminalization of drugs, which has made blue cities into hellholes, and worst of all, his financing of district attorneys receptive to his empty-the-jails, no-prosecution agenda. Any city that has elected such leftists has seen their cities go downhill into a sump of crime, lawlessness, and disorder. In short, he's been an unprecedented disaster for the country, doing at least as much harm as Joe Biden himself. Now he's getting rewarded by Biden, turning the value of that award into rubbish.

Biden's disgraceful exit. It would be hard to pick a figure that better personified the Democratic Party's contempt for average Americans than failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. It would be hard to think of anyone who has done more recent damage to them than billionaire financier George Soros. But President Joe Biden chose as one of his parting shots to the nation and people he serves to honor both of them with Presidential Medals of Freedom, the highest honor a civilian can be awarded by the United States government. Soros's selection is arguably the bigger slap in the face to Americans, especially those who live in jurisdictions where Soros funded district attorneys who refuse to prosecute most property and even violent crimes, encouraging crime waves that have pushed previously Democratic strongholds toward Republicans. In Los Angeles, for example, under Soros-funded DA George Gascon's soft-on-crime policies, violent crimes rose 12%, robberies climbed 16%, property crimes jumped 20%, auto theft spiked 23%, and shoplifting soared 133%, according to data from the California Department of Justice.

Biden gives a Medal to Moderna and Pfizer — 10 reasons that was a bad idea. [#1] By awarding Moderna and Pfizer but not J&J and AZ, the current administration essentially admits that the adenoviral vector products were dangerous. Many young people died from these products and this administration, and many public health experts, lied about the risks of VITT. The mantra that the 'best vaccine is the one you get' was yet another lie perpetuated by this administration. [#2] Moderna and Pfizer are corporations that have failed to meet the post market commitments. They have failed to study subclinical myocarditis. This conduct is shameful and they should be fined or worse. It also represents FDA failure. [#3] These companies have already made 100 billion dollars from these products. Most of that directly paid for by the taxpayer. They do not need a medal. [#4] The key sequencing of the virus was not done by companies. [#5] The companies sell an annual mRNA product that has no reliable data. This product is given to babies. There is no evidence that it helps. [#6] No one benefits from this medal.

Biden awards Hillary and Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom. There is a difference between being non compos mentis and being possessed by a deranged and demonic desire to reward the most dangerous and despicable anti-American prevaricators extant or otherwise. These decisions reek of Obama — with perhaps a little Adam Schiff or Nancy Pelosi thrown in for bad measure. Hillary Clinton is to decency and transparency as Josef Mengele is to Judaism. George Soros, the Hungarian bagman, funds a significant percentage of all the Leftist and anti-American groups and activities in existence. Awarding PMFs to characters like these is demeaning to the American people and all those who value honesty, integrity, and America itself. These actions perfectly illustrate today's Democrat party — with its simultaneous worship of depravity and rabid pursuit of power.

The Final Biden Disgrace? We can't be sure, since his alleged presidency still has 16 days to go. But Biden's awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros is likely to stand as his final insult to America. [...] Soros hates this country, and has done nothing but work to destroy it. He has been the principal sponsor of pro-crime, anti-free enterprise, anti-free speech, anti-affordable energy initiatives in the United States and around the world. And there is every prospect that his disgraceful legacy will be carried on by his heirs.

In His Latest Presidential Act, Biden Again Attacks Religion. If there was ever a question about how much Joe Biden hates God and all religions (with the possible exception of Islam), that question has now been completely answered with his choice of honoring two of the most anti-religion individuals in our nation with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest award for a civilian. [...] A self-proclaimed Catholic, whose actions have always been directly antithetical to Catholic theology, Biden is awarding this honor to Cecile Richards, the President of Planned Parenthood. [...] It is one thing for Joe Biden to tacitly support the anti-religion practices of Planned Parenthood. But for him to consciously award Richards with this high honor is a direct assault on the theology that he claims to subscribe to. It is an attack on every Catholic, pro-life Christian, and authentic Jew. Bestowing this honor upon the President of Planned Parenthood is yet another example of Joe Biden thumbing his nose at God, religion, and people of faith.

How to invalidate the Presidential Medal of Freedom in one fell swoop. The Biden administration, whoever is running it, is illegitimate. The 2020 election was stolen, rigged to defeat Trump by any means necessary. Many means were employed, all illegal, all unconstitutional. The truth is coming out, bit by bit. We should know by now that the left could not care less about the Constitution; they hate the limits it imposes on government, so they ignore the Bill of Rights and most of the Articles. These past post-Constitutional four years have been a disaster by any measure, from the open border to the third world and China to the imposition of woke on our military. But beyond Biden's hostility to all things American is his administration's gross immaturity. It is intent upon poking Trump and his supporters in the eye on their way out. They are like spoiled little playground bullies. Their actions since the election have been not only childish but treasonous. They would rather destroy the country than make the transition to the Trump presidency smooth and trouble-free.

Biden senior moments in review. The Washington Free Beacon has posted a We Told You So edition of its long-running Biden's Senior Moments series. [Video clip]

Jill Biden [was] Handed [a] $20,000 Diamond as [a] Gift from India's PM. First Lady Jill Biden has been showered in gifts while her husband has been in office, receiving donated trifles worth tens of thousands of dollars in 2023 alone including a diamond worth $20,000 from India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Modi's generosity came during his first-ever state visit to the country where he was hosted by outgoing President Joe Biden and Mrs Biden. The prime minister gave a handcrafted sandalwood box to the president as the official gift. The diamond was noted in an annual accounting published by the State Department on Thursday, AP reports.

The Editor says...
DOCTOR Jill Biden must now come up with a way to give 10 percent to the Big Guy.

The Morning Briefing: I Can't Wait for All of That Biden Decency and Dignity to Go Away. During the bad drug trip that was the 2020 presidential election, Biden and his advocates kept saying that "decency" and "dignity" were on the ballot. Anyone who had followed Biden's career knew how laughable it was to think that Biden would be the guy to do that, but reality didn't come into play much in that election. What the Biden family brought to the White House was embarrassing tawdriness. It's like some backwoods, low-rent criminal family hit the political lottery and couldn't wait to trash the joint. I wonder if Jill Biden has hit up Hillary Clinton for pointers on how to steal stuff on her way out the door. People can say all they want about the chaos of the first Trump term or the ego-driven classlessness of the Obama years, but nobody was finding bags of Peruvian marching powder lying around the nation's executive mansion when either of them were in office. As part of the Biden parade of decency, the Democrats' flying monkeys in the mainstream media became more biased and corrupt than they ever had been, which is a monumental feat.

Joe Biden Awards Hunter's Friend with Presidential Citizens Medal. President Joe Biden awarded Hunter Biden's friend, Bobby Sager, with the Presidential Citizens Medal on Thursday, underscoring Hunter's influence over the octogenarian. Sager, a photographer and philanthropist, earned the award after he allegedly created opportunity for low-income people abroad, including Palestinian women artisans. Sager is also a self-described "selfish" person who became friends with Hunter only in the last two years, NBC News reported. Sager is a huge fan of Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter, claiming Hunter had a challenging history while making millions from foreign entities while his dad was vice president.

Trump's Inaugural Address and the 25th Amendment. The fact is that the Democrats and their allies in the media — which means almost all the media — engaged in a years-long coverup of perhaps the greatest scandal in American history: the incompetence of the president of the United States. The 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed in order to deal with precisely the problem that Biden presented: becoming incompetent after being elected. It is possible, of course, that Biden was already incompetent before he was elected, but because he campaigned from his basement, with minimal exposure to the public, that is less obvious. Biden's "handlers" may have known of his senility from the beginning, but the public learned of it only later. But it became abundantly obvious — and long before the June 27 debate — which, finally, prompted some of the party leaders to remove him. And yet, Democrat politicians and members of the press who knew of his incompetence told us again, and again, and again that he was not just competent but the sharpest guy in the room. It was all a lie, and that scandal far exceeded Watergate. Trump should make that very clear when he takes office.

Biden Walks Away Without Taking Any Questions About New Orleans Terror Attack After Remarks at Camp David. Joe Biden addressed the nation from Camp David, the presidential retreat in Catoctin Mountain Park in Maryland on Wednesday evening following a terrorist attack that left at least 15 people dead in New Orleans. At least 15 people were killed, 35 injured after a terrorist identified as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar plowed through a crowd in New Orleans during the New Year's Eve celebration. According to law enforcement, Jabbar did not work alone and was part of a larger network of terrorists. Earlier Wednesday Joe Biden stopped to chat with reporters as he departed Wilmington, Delaware for Camp David on Wednesday for another vacation.

All Is Not Well in the Biden White House. While Biden has recently expressed regret over dropping out and says he could have won, according to the Wall Street Journal, that belief "isn't widely shared in the White House or among the Democratic establishment, where the more common view is that the party would have suffered a much larger electoral defeat and lost even more congressional seats had Biden remained the nominee." [...] As Biden prepares to leave office, he's focusing on cementing his legacy with plans for a presidential library in Delaware. How controversial death sentence commutations for child rapists and murders fit into that equation, I have no idea, but according to the report, Biden has plenty of regrets, including his decision to appoint Merrick Garland as attorney general. Biden believes that Garland didn't target Trump more aggressively, thinking that if he had, he could have stopped Trump's return to the White House with more aggressive prosecutions[.] Curiously, no one on the left expressed outrage over Biden's blatant desire to have done more to weaponize the justice system against his political opponent.

Lie of the Year: Joe Biden Is "Sharp, Intensely Probing, Detail-Oriented, and Focused". When former Vice President Joe Biden entered the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, the party quickly rallied behind him, convinced he was their best chance to defeat Trump. It was evident, however, that Biden had changed during his time out of the spotlight. He had slowed down, struggled to speak without a teleprompter, slurred his words, and frequently lost his train of thought. While Republicans and foreigners recognized the early signs of cognitive decline, Biden's handlers worked tirelessly to cover it up. [...] Four years later, Biden's cognitive lapses have become too big to hide. Yet the party continued to insist he was fully compos mentis, a vital trait for any world leader. Their carefully constructed narrative came crashing down during a late-June debate in Atlanta, Georgia, when the truth was laid bare. In that moment, the leader of the free world was exposed as a senile, doddering old man, shattering the illusion his party had tried so hard to maintain. No amount of spin could save the situation.

Biden Flies Back From St. Croix; What He Does Next Says Everything About Him. Joe Biden headed back from his umpteenth vacation on Tuesday. Biden was coming back from yet another luxury vacation in St. Croix, where he's been since Thursday. He was staying at the beachfront resort home of billionaire supporters Bill and Connie Neville. He's come under fire before for not declaring the free stays on his ethical forms. Yet you barely see any mainstream media attention to this. [...] Biden had been in St. Croix with his wife Jill, his daughter Ashley, and his son Hunter as well as Hunter's son, Beau. But even after the vacation there, guess what he's doing when he comes back? He's going to his home in Wilmington, Delaware, for New Year's Eve, and then he's going to Camp David. Oh, hey, even more vacation! Does this guy ever work? Or is he even capable of it?

Still Sharp as a Tack After All These Years. Joe Biden is on vacation in the Virgin Islands. Nothing surprising about that; he has spent around 40 percent of his term on vacation. And that is the official White House tabulation. I suspect the true number is significantly higher. If it were a Republican president, that would be a scandal. [...] My only point here is that Biden has been exactly like this for years. His incapacity has been obvious to anyone who paid attention. The pretense that he suffered a precipitous decline in recent months may be absurd, but it is necessary. Without the myth of a late-term decline, the national press, the White House and Congressional Democrats would have no plausible defense to the charge that they sacrificed national security and well-being for partisan advantage.

2024's Winners and Losers: Year in Review. [Joe Biden: Winner!] What is left of President Joe Biden is a winner in the year of our Lord 2024. Even though Biden's own party threw a coup against him (the sitting president of the United States!) and removed him from the presidential race, the flip at the top of the ticket ended up being a flop. [...] Biden was a party man for half a century, but ever since Democrats switched Biden for Kamala Harris, Biden has seemingly helped Republicans at every turn and acted purely out of self-interest. His loyalists leaked details of the coup and Democrat infighting to the press, he wore a MAGA hat, and he gave Republicans a last-minute turnout boost by calling Trump supporters garbage. And, of course, since losing the election, he's pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, after promising for years he would not. He's created one political mess after another, and the Democratic party will be left to clean it up. Meanwhile, the president and his son will be on the beach in Delaware.

Who is Running the Country? In name, Joe Biden is America's 46th president. His "signature" is on official documents. He is photographed periodically, whether in the Oval Office, wandering in foreign lands, or inappropriately sniffing or nibbling young children. But he is the president in name only. Is Joe Biden even real? As this tweet illustrates, his height varies. In one photo, Donald Trump and Barack Obama are the same height. In another, Obama is taller than Biden, and in another photo, Biden is taller than Trump. Like an Escher print, this optical illusion begs the question of whether there is more than one "Joe Biden." [...] After propping Biden up for years and now that he is heading out the door, the media admits they kinda sorta knew all along that Biden had dementia and can tut-tut over this massive coverup, dancing around their complicity in one of the worse political and journalistic scandals in history. Lies, lies, and more lies. This is truly "The Big Lie."

A Big Year for Big Lies. Consider this far-from-complete list. There were the Democrats' repeated claims that Joe Biden was "sharp" as a tack and at "the top of his game" — in fact, he was clearheaded enough to run the country for another four years! Or remember when Kamala Harris was the "border czar" — until she wasn't, and, really, had never been the "border czar?" Or the Ohio "cat eaters" who were nothing of the sort? [...] But nothing could top Biden's vehement denials that he had any knowledge of Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings. Indeed, he consistently said he never even met with any of Hunter's business partners, or spoke to his son about his business ventures. And yet, here we are, weeks before Biden leaves office, and one last incriminating piece of evidence has emerged. The official photos of the 2013 visit to China by then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter were just released by the National Archives. They show Biden shaking the hand of future BHR Partners CEO Jonathan Li, and Hunter speaking with Chinese president Xi Jinping. Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee has documented 16 separate times that Biden lied about his knowledge or involvement with his family's business.

Who Hid the incriminating Biden Family China Photos from the American Public — And Why Have They Not Been Arrested? Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, joined Jason Chaffetz on Sunday Morning Futures this morning to discuss the incriminating photos released by America First Legal that were published last week of Joe and Hunter Biden meeting with their Chinese business associates while Joe Biden was in China representing the United States government. Government Officials with the National Archives and partisan Records Administration hid and concealed these photos from the American public the last four years to shield and protect Joe Biden from any legal [sic] Last week, America First Legal obtained new photos of Joe Biden meeting with Hunter's Chinese business associates and introducing Hunter to China's Xi Jinping.

A Spiteful Biden Adds to His Failed Legacy. Joe Biden became the basement campaigner whom liberals touted as the candidate who would unify the nation with his years of government experience and grandfather-like personality. Kamala Harris was showcased as his youthful, female-of-color running mate who gave a two-for-one promise (female and a person of color) to the long-held hope of a future female President of the United States. The bias of the MSM against Trump and for Biden was so obvious that every fair-minded voter took pause. Nonetheless, the pandemic allowed for untested and unreliable voting strategies and, when coupled with the social chaos of the George Floyd riots, made Trump vulnerable. It was this unprecedented election environment that resulted in a narrow and problematic Biden/Harris victory. The real result of the 2020 election, however, was to enable what would become the worst presidential performance in modern history, displaying at a uniquely vulnerable time with the nationwide George Floyd and BLM unrest in major American cities.

Jonathan Turley Punctures CNN's Latest Defense About Biden and Those China Connections. As we reported the other day, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) dropped some big truth bombs on CNN host Abby Phillip over Joe Biden and money from Chinese nationals. [Advertisement] The biggest problem was her confessed cluelessness when it came to the question. "I'm still waiting to see the proof of Joe Biden enriching himself. I take his brother and his son, perhaps," CNN host Abby Phillip said. Then as I noted, Lawler did lay out a direct line. [Tweet with video clip]

Five 'Accomplishments' Joe Biden Touts As Successes — but Which Were Failures. If you took about a hundred dumpsters, all on fire, loaded them on a train full of burning porta-potties, and crashed the whole thing into a giant pile of the stuff one normally finds under the south end of a northbound horse, that would be the Biden presidency. Befuddled and confused, inarticulate, showing flashes of unfounded anger and creepy whispering, Joe Biden will go down in history as one of the worst presidents in the history of the republic. We can take some comfort in knowing that Joe Biden will be vacating the White House on January 20th. But he's not going quietly into that good night; instead, he's touting five so-called "accomplishments" of his term that, against all available evidence, he (or whoever is pulling his strings) see as successes.

Look back in anger. On Thursday we took a first look at "Pictures from the Biden family business." The story of the Biden family business — i.e., money for nothing — takes us back to the Hunter Biden laptop, the Deep State coverup of its authenticity courtesy of Antony Blinken and the Dirty 51, and the 2020 Biden presidential campaign. It is a key that unlocks a secret history — or unlocked a secret history. Anyone who cared to know long ago scoped out the heart of the story. The photos provide further evidence that Joe Biden was lying when he disclaimed involvement in the family business. Until this week the photos were held under lock and key at the National Archives. [...] We have known the outline of the story of the Biden family business since the Post's suppressed October 2020 laptop coverage. The photos only add the ocular proof. Like the work of British playwright John Osborne and the other irate young men of the 1950s, the photos let us look back in anger. But how have the photos been kept under wraps until now?

Joe Biden Is No Longer In Touch With Reality. Is President Joe Biden making any decisions anymore? Who knows? Probably not. Heck, it was debatable from day one whether he was the one actually in charge of his administration. Well, now he's made it crystal clear that he's utterly disconnected from reality. According to White House insiders, Biden is reportedly lamenting his decision to to drop out of the presidential election, and — try not to laugh — he still believes he could have easily defeated Donald Trump had he stayed in the race. [...] The Harris-Walz campaign raised and spent $1 billion, but failed to win a single battleground state, highlighting the futility of their efforts. It really didn't matter whether Biden ran or not, or had dropped out earlier; the Democratic Party brand was already in the toilet due to the failures of the Biden-Harris ticket. Still, Biden's perception of how the election would have played out is indeed a curious mix of denial and delusion.

GOP Rep Humiliates CNN Host With Evidence of Biden Corruption. Can you believe there are still voices in the liberal media clinging to the claim that Joe Biden never financially benefited from his family's corrupt business schemes? This despite the fact that Biden issued his son Hunter a blanket pardon covering 11 years of potential crimes — the period where he was making his shady business deals with foreign business partners. House Republicans have been digging up evidence of how shady the Biden Crime Family has been for years now. They've got sworn testimonies, bank records, emails, phone calls, videos, photos, text messages, and even White House visitor logs proving Biden's corruption. Not only is that true, but the evidence continues to pile up. Adding fuel to the fire, photos surfaced earlier this week, showing Joe Biden introducing Hunter to Xi Jinping back in 2013 — right in the midst of Hunter's shady business dealings with his Chinese partners. Yet even with the latest evidence, CNN's Abby Phillip claims she is "still waiting to see the proof" that Joe Biden enriched himself, while vaguely conceding his son's and his brother's involvement.

Byron Donalds Floats Theory About the Biden Death Row Commutations, and He Might Be Right on the Money. As RedState previously reported, President Joe Biden decided to drop an unwelcome Christmas surprise on the families of murder victims whose killers were on federal death row by commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 inmates to life in prison without the possibility of parole. [...] Though the death row commutations were particularly infuriating, some have suggested that maybe it wasn't Biden himself who was the driving force behind the move. Among them is Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), who during a Fox News interview Thursday noted that he believed Biden didn't even know what he was signing: [...] Donalds then expanded on his point, stating that this was something the radical left wanted to do all along but now had the chance to do because, in his view, Biden — for all intents and purposes — is not in charge anymore (if he ever was at all) in the final weeks of his presidency.

Feds finally release photos showing then-VP Biden meeting son Hunter's China biz partners — days before he leaves office. The National Archives has finally released photos showing then-Vice President Biden meeting with two of first son Hunter Biden's Chinese government-linked business partners — again proving that the president lied about not interacting with his family's foreign patrons. The cache of photos, released long after their potential political salience and days before Biden retires on Jan. 20, also show Chinese President Xi Jinping grinning as then-Vice President Biden introduced his son during the same December 2013 trip to Beijing.

All of Team Joe aided in the Big Lie — now the world knows the truth of the Biden crime family. Ever since The [New York] Post broke the story of Hunter Biden's laptop in October of 2020, it's been obvious that Joe Biden was involved in his son's influence peddling schemes. The president's serial denials were as credible as Bill Clinton's claim that "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." Biden's most ridiculous lie was that he never even discussed Hunter's foreign business with him. Laptop messages and photos showing Joe meeting with some of Hunter's skeezy clients proved otherwise. Revelations that the son got millions from Ukraine energy company Burisma, despite knowing nothing about energy or Ukraine, destroyed the fiction that this was a merit-based business. So did crucial public statements by Tony Bobulinski, a former Hunter Biden partner who bravely authenticated many of the emails and identified Joe as the "big guy" slated for a 10% cut in a Chinese deal.

Bag Men: The Bidens' Perfection of Grifting and Corruption. Joe Biden's political portfolio was exposed by CBS before Barack Obama picked him for his running mate in 2008. According to CBSNews.com senior political editor Vaughn Ververs: "With over 30 years of baggage accumulated in the U.S. Senate, Biden is not the kind of running mate you would think of for someone who has campaigned on a pledge to change the way politics is done in Washington." How prescient does that comment seem given what has been uncovered about the corrupt Biden modus operandi these past four years? Here is what Biden's 30 years in Washington, DC, entailed up to that moment in 2008: Serial plagiarist and liar. Shameful interrogation and belittling of Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearing in 1991. [...] He certainly wasn't going to "broaden Obama's base," which is typically why VP selections are made (to balance the ticket regionally, demographically, and/or ideologically). The reality is that Biden's true constituency existed among the corruptocrats and insiders who infest the Democrat Party, as well as their donors and "investors," and that is the reason Obama picked him in the first place. We have seen that play out in spades during the Biden regime.

Non-stop junkets for the next few weeks:
Biden Slips in Even More Vacation, Raising Ethical Questions. We're counting down the days until Joe Biden and his wife/handler Jill finally have to leave the White House. But they seem to be intent upon milking every last bit they can before they are out the door. He's no longer "working" after January 20, but how much has he actually "worked" since the election? His time seems to have been full of vacation. There's his time in Delaware, plus he also took his regular trip to Nantucket over Thanksgiving. Jill snuck in a trip to Italy and France earlier this month. Joe is planning on visiting the Pope next month before he leaves. Then, on Thursday, he took off for St. Croix until New Year's with Jill and his daughter Ashley. You know what he told reporters was his "resolution" when he was there last year? It wasn't to get the American hostages back from Hamas or cure inflation, but to go back to St. Croix this year.

What Was So Different This Time About Trump's Election? [Scroll down] [D]uring the 2024-2025 transition, Trump has all but assumed the presidency. Over 100 foreign leaders have elbowed each other to be invited to Mar-a-Lago or to phone in their congratulations to the newly elected Trump. Remember that in 2016 the left screamed "Logan Act" if a Trump transition appointee even talked with foreign officials. So why is newly elected Trump a veritable cultural hero in 2024 in a fashion unimaginable eight years ago when the media had rendered him a near demon? One, Trump is now seen as a welcome relief. A departing and unpopular Joe Biden will leave with about a 36 percent approval rating. The prior Biden years are now seen as abnormal, if not disastrous. The left's cultural revolution championed fringe policies never quite seen before: destroying the border, welcoming in 12 million illegal aliens, nihilist critical race and legal theories, institutionalizing a third sex, and mandating woke/DEI quotas and indoctrination sessions. Yet Biden had inherited from Trump a secure border, an economy rebounding after the COVID quarantines, 1.23 percent inflation, no wars abroad, and cheap energy.

Congress Must Expose the Senility Coup. At some point in the last four years, the president ceased to be. We do not yet know the date at which the man holding the office became incompetent to carry out his duties. What we do know is that his entire administration engaged in a concerted conspiracy to cover up his incapacity. This conspiracy was not just one of the many lies told for political purposes: it was a coup. As America's political class grows sicker, we have witnessed the spectacle of members of Congress who are institutionalized or so decrepit that they no longer know where they are, 'sponsoring legislation' and 'casting votes'. These are not just deceptions: they are crimes. The United States has a representative government of elected officials who are the only ones entitled to wield their powers. Voters do not elect staffers and staffers are not empowered to wield legislative power only to provide advice and assistance to qualified elected officials. Staffers who not only cover up the mental decline of an elected official, but who act in his or her name, are seizing power from the people and acting on their own behalf. This is a coup.

2024 Man of the Year: Jill Biden. The "official record" will reflect that Joe Biden served as the 46th president of the United States between 2021 and 2025 (assuming he lives to see the new year), which is why you should never believe anything you read in a history book. The American people know the truth. Sleepy Joe has been scientifically dead for at least two years, if not longer. His body crippled by rigor mortis, his brain the color and consistency of fecal slurry. That's why we're giving this coveted Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year award to the person who has actually been running the country this whole time: Jill Biden, America's desperate housewife. In fact, we're going to call her Dr. Jill Biden from now on. At first it was fun to mock her demand for the title on account of a worthless education degree. But considering the actual experience she's accumulated in the field of home health care these past few years — giving sponge baths, changing bedpans, and administering the military-grade narcotics that allowed our nominal leader to present as semi-coherent in public settings — we feel she's earned it. Caring for a spouse with severe dementia is never easy, even for the vast majority of us who aren't secretly in charge of the world's largest economy and commanding its most powerful military, not to mention having to put up with a crackhead stepson who once called you a [...]

Biden is King Midas in reverse. He turned the border into a national security nightmare and humanitarian crisis. He turned Afghanistan into a disaster that did not have to happen. Add the economy and you know what I mean. And then to top it off he has turned pardoning and commutations into a joke. [...] He could have told us why he did it and explain to the families why he did it now. Furthermore, why did this moment of principle happen now and not during the campaign? Once again, we were left in the dark with a little White House statement that he may or may not have written. So the pardon powers, a very important presidential prerogative, has now been messed up too.

A Look Back At KJP's Greatest Fibs As Her Time In The White House Ends. President Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter was a direct contradiction to numerous public statements from his Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. On at least four occasions since Hunter Biden's plea deal for gun charges collapsed in July 2023, Jean-Pierre assured reporters, in no uncertain terms, that President Biden would not be pardoning his son. Shortly after the deal fell through, Jean-Pierre offered a simple one-word answer to the question of whether or not Biden would pardon his son: "No." Later she was asked again and repeated, more emphatically this time "It's still a no. It's still a no. It will be a no. It is a no. And I don't have anything else to add. Will he pardon his son? No."

Election-Eve Coverup: Biden & the Art of Concealing Evidence. In the closing days before the November 5, 2024, presidential election, a tale of political duplicity unfolded — one that would make even the most jaded Roman senator wince. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), ostensibly the neutral custodian of America's historical record, found itself ensnared in a scandal implicating the sitting president, his predecessor, and the Biden family's lucrative entanglements with China. What transpired was a coordinated effort to withhold [scathing] evidence — photographs and records that expose a pattern of influence-peddling — until the polls had closed. The American public, once again, became collateral damage in the Democratic Party's endless war on accountability. At the center of this sordid affair are newly unearthed photographs obtained by America First Legal (AFL) through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against NARA. These images, initially slated for release on October 23, 2024 — 13 days before the election — capture then-Vice President Joe Biden alongside his son Hunter, prominent Chinese business figures, and even President Xi Jinping. AFL's persistence forced NARA to prepare these documents for disclosure, but in a move straight out of Tammany Hall, Biden and Obama's legal teams intervened to delay their release until just after the election.

Joe Biden cynically heads over to the Vatican to buy himself some salvation from the pope. After fraudulently taking office and then wasting his presidency in a sump of corruption, economic ruin, anti-religious acts, and mayhem rained down on the little guys, Joe Biden has decided that as his presidency ends, now's about time to jingle those rosary beads in his pocket and make his final presidential visit to the Vatican to see the pope. According to Fox News: ["]The White House announced that President Joe Biden will head to Italy next month for a public meeting with Pope Francis in Vatican City before his term comes to an end. [...] ["] [...] Meanwhile, the claim that the pope did the inviting is questionable. We don't hear the pope saying he invited him. The pope did, however, ask Biden to reduce the penalties of death row inmates in the states, and Joe was happy to do that for him, commuting the sentences of 37 murderers, quite likely in exchange for this one last meeting and photo op for "history."

The Editor says...
Joe Biden is rushing over to Vatican City — at the taxpayers' expense, to benefit only himself — "before his term comes to an end." That's one way to put it.

Biden cleared the bench, pardoning the entire federal death row but three. Somebody needs to put that Autopen back in its box. The Pen — or the Cabbage, I suppose it's possible he signed them himself — commuted the sentences of 37 men whose heinous acts were so horrifying that the New York Times did not describe or even name a single one. It offered no examples whatsoever, and to make it harder to research for ourselves, did not name the men who received presidential mercy. The Times described them only in reassuringly generic and racially fair statistics: all men, 15 white, 15 black, a token Asian and six Latin-exes, or Latin-'X', or however you say it. Hispanic. Biden curiously made no public statement. He released a crack-of-dawn written statement cynically saying his heart aches for the victims' families, but he was "guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender." In the statement, invisible Biden explained "his conscience" guided him to thwart President Trump: "In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted." So, he pardoned the Biden 37 out of spite. He didn't even try to hide it. It was a terrible reason.

Biden's Most Dangerous Commutations Coming Soon. Joe Biden, who is unable to perform his duties, follows the dictates of the hardcore left. The Left, some media, and the Red Pope demand that he commute the sentences of Death Row prisoners. The people on Death Row committed horrendous, inhuman crimes. Newspapers like the Chicago Sun-Times want the commutations. A commutation means these monsters could one day get out of prison. We have a lot of people whose hearts bleed for criminals, not victims. Biden will likely do as the Leftists want. The Red Pope wants them released. [Statement by the Pope omitted for brevity, among other things.] [...] The corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland has recommended that Biden, who opposes capital punishment, commute the sentences to life imprisonment for all but a handful of the 40 cases, the report said. Merrick Garland oversees federal prisons.

Invalid Presidency. In this episode of Truth Over News, we revisit the issue of Biden's diminished mental faculties and discuss whether there are grounds for invalidating his actions, such as pardons and commutations, on the basis that others, rather than Biden, were running the show and that he was unaware of what was happening.

Then-VP Joe Biden Met Hunter Biden's Chinese Partners in 2013. Then-Vice President Joe Biden introduced his son, Hunter Biden, to Chinese premier Xi Jinping, on an official visit in 2013, new photos show. Vice President Biden also met Hunter's business associates in China, despite later denials. The photos — only a partial archive — were released in response to a lawsuit filed by Stephen Miller's America First Legal foundation against the National Archives and Records Administration in 2022. They shed new light on the Biden family's history of influence-peddling, which dates back to the Obama administration, and which Democrats denied as they impeached President Donald Trump and claimed Hunter's laptop was Russian "disinformation." In 2013, Hunter Biden accompanied his father to China on Air Force Two. When he returned, he brought with him a multi-billion dollar deal with a subsidiary of the Bank of China, which is owned by the Communist Party government.

How vengeful Jill Biden is urging 'depressed' Joe to 'burn the whole thing down' in their final days. Biden infuriated many senior members of the Democratic Party with his shocking U-turn and pardon of his son Hunter a fortnight ago, after months of publicly vowing he wouldn't make such a move. The pardon came alongside the quiet commuting of around 1,500 sentences, including for the relative of a member of the Chinese Communist Party who had been caught with child porn on his computer. Now, sources say, the first lady has been egging her husband on to further inflame fury among his colleagues. 'Jill views Democrats on Capitol Hill, the [wider] party, the Obamas, staff inside and outside the White House, the media, and all of Washington DC with such misguided resentment that I can't imagine she [isn't] encouraging [Joe] to burn the whole thing down, despite his better judgment,' an insider said. A particular target for the First Couple is said to be former house speaker Nancy Pelosi, who led the effort to push Biden out of the 2024 election race — personally calling him and demanding he quit in the hours before he withdrew on June 21.

Was It Really Joe Who Just Spared Death Row Killers? Someone acting for the president just made a decision that only a president can make and commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 murderers on federal death row out of a sense of someone's moral imperative. The Office of the President of the United States of America announced the commutations early Monday morning of Christmas week. A statement issued by the White House said the president was "guided by my conscience" to commute the death penalties for some of the worst of the worst offenders in America. It begs the question of how consciously Joe Biden does anything these days after the Wall Street Journal last week detailed how the White House staff covered up the elected president's mental deficiencies as the pall of dementia continued to overcome his cognition. Staff acted as the president. The White House statement claimed that the president said he was "more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted." How much "good conscience" he possesses and the extent to which he ever had any moral conscience on the issue of life in the first place is also in question.

The Editor says...
I want to see some evidence that Joe Biden knowingly commuted the death sentences of 37 people. Put him on live television and ask him if he knows that he signed such an order. Ask him about specific people on the list, and see if he recognizes any of the names. If he denies signing the document, NOW the "administration" has a scandal on its hands that the press can't ignore.

Biden commutes death sentences of child killers and mass murderers 2 days before Christmas. President Biden on Monday commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 men on federal death row — a list that includes at least five child killers and several mass murderers — while leaving out three notorious fiends. In the stunning act of clemency just two days before Christmas, Biden, 82, gave the reprieve to some of the nation's most violent murderers — nine of them found too dangerous to live after butchering fellow inmates — as part of his effort at "ensuring a fair and effective justice system," the White House said. "Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss," Biden said in a statement. "But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted."

The Editor says...
[#1] Any statement by Joe Biden that includes the phrase, "guided by my conscience," is highly suspect. [#2] When was the last time you heard Joe Biden utter a complete and coherent sentence? Joe Biden DID NOT write that "White House" statement.

There's a terrifying reason behind Biden's Christmas gift to child rapists and killers. Remove him. Now. It's been sold by Democrats as a mercy to allow disgraced President Joe Biden to ride out his term. How much harm can he do?, they ask. A lot, it turns out. An ungodly amount. Devastating, unjust, dangerous harms — all exacted by a president we now know, thanks to blockbuster exposés last week, has been cognitively impaired since before Day One. If the Democratic Party has a shred of self-preservation left, if its leaders hold any hope for rebounding in 2028 as the self-appointed guardians of decency, moral uprightness, and democracy itself, they must remove this dishonorable president immediately. Early Monday morning, Biden commuted the death sentences of nearly all forty men on federal death row, including child rapists and murderers. That's Joe Biden's version, I guess, of wishing 'Merry Christmas' to the grieving families of these murdered children. Ever the coward, he dumped this news the day before Christmas Eve, hoping the bulk of mainstream media will ignore it.

Cotton: Can't We Reverse Biden's Despicable Clemencies Over Incompetency? Short answer: Nope. Longer answer: Tom Cotton already knows the short answer. He's actually asking two other questions. One is a long national conversation that has also been a long time coming — and the other a question that should have been coming for at least the last five months. Cotton actually broaches the latter in his tweet about Joe Biden's decision to commute the death sentences of 37 Death Row convicts. "Who is making these decisions," Senator Cotton asks, "and signing for "Joe Biden"?" This is the question that everyone should have been asking since the Easter Bunny ordered the Leader of the Free [...] World off a White House rope line in April 2022. The debate on June 27 made Biden's incompetency obvious and the question of power-wielding acute, but for some reason, members of Congress have not been interested in getting answers to it — even when Democrats are admitting that Biden's been non compos mentis for a while. So why only now, after 'Biden' is issuing manipulative and despicable clemency actions, is this question getting seriously asked?

'Stain on the Presidency': Biden's Latest Commutations Aren't Going Over Well. President Joe Biden's 11th hour commutations for 37 federal death row inmates, many of them who raped and murdered children, are not going over well. "37 murders are spared the death sentence in yet another desperate act of outgoing president Joe Biden trying to get some media and left-wing approval. They include some of the most heinous of double and triple murders," Democratic pollster Mark Penn posted on X. "Would he have done this with an election pending? Of course not. He had four years to do this if believed it was the right thing to do as crime and murders spiked from before Covid. And he could have been applauded for taking political risk and arguing his case. But instead, freed from the will of the people, Biden in effect nullifies our will and our laws not by pardoning worthy individuals wrongly convicted but instead commuting the sentences of our worst miscreants."

Floating the Unthinkable Considering What's Happened — Blanket Pardoning Illegals. Everyone knows we have had an unnamed cabal running this White House since 20 January 2021. It was as plain as the nose on POTATUS face from the moment he first hid in his basement — while DOCTOR Jill did campaign stops for him, and the ones he did attend were highly scripted events with twelve chairs set fifteen feet apart — that Biden was not all there and should not even be running, [or] elected president. But our corrupt, corrosive press enabled lie after lie to live unabated and unanswered on the airwaves — actively encouraging the spread of ones helpful to the Biden campaign while ensuring the entombment and negation of any contrary stories, however well documented and sourced. They were ably assisted by the ceaseless censorship machines of the tech companies and the skullduggery of entrenched bureaucrats in federal departments charged with ensuring blind justice and accountability for the actions of all. The deck was stacked, not just against Donald Trump, but against America.

Fox News Runs Through Brutal Examples of Murderers and Rapists Whose Death Sentences Were Commuted by Biden. Fox News ran through several brutal examples of the convicted murderers and rapists who had their death sentences commuted by President Joe Biden with legal expert Andy McCarthy on Monday. Earlier in the day, Biden announced that he was "commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 individuals on federal death row to life sentences without the possibility of parole." "Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss," he continued. "But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted."

Biden Commutes Federal Death Row Sentences. There were hints that it was coming, but in a stunning move early Monday morning, President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 prisoners on federal death row. There has been a moratorium on carrying out federal executions since 2021, and Biden's move is seen as an attempt to prevent the incoming Trump administration from carrying out the executions. [...] Who were the three men not on the receiving end of this sweeping clemency? The three inmates not included are: Robert Bowers, who is responsible for the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018, which left 11 people dead; Dylann Roof, a White supremacist who killed nine Black parishioners at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015; and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who worked with his now-dead brother to perpetuate the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing that killed three people and injured hundreds.

Democrats — Don't be sheep. On December 19th, the Wall Street Journal published "How the White House functioned with a diminished Biden in charge" outlining their, the Biden Cabinet, the DNC, Democrat Donors, Kamala Harris, and the legacy media's long-held awareness from the earliest days of his "presidency" that Joe Biden's mental capacities had waned. To put it bluntly, they lied. They then proceeded to gaslight anyone with a functioning brain that what we were seeing with our own eyes were "cheapfakes." Yet, another conspiracy theory come to conspiracy fact. The question must be asked — who was running the country? Was it Dr. Jill? Barack Obama? His strategically placed minions? George/Alex Soros? Maybe some globalist cabal, operating in the shadows? Likely, all the above. Of course they lied. They lied to their base. To their voters. They played you all for stupid.

Biden Leaving a Steaming Pile of Syria Under Trump's Christmas Tree. President Joe Biden is often unaware of his surroundings or behavior, but he surely knows that Christmas is almost here. Playing Santa Claus, he is handing out gifts — pardons to existing and as-yet-unprosecuted criminals and members of Congress and special gifts to those succeeding him in the White House, particularly President-elect Donald Trump. Concerning Biden's cognition, we are now learning that the White House was fully aware of his mental decline since before he took office and concealed this information from the public, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. Has Trump been naughty or nice? Will he receive a glittery Christmas present like a robust economy, world peace, or a secure border? Or will a nuclear war, drone attack, or pandemic be in his Christmas stocking?

The Least Successful Conspiracy. [Scroll down] This Wall Street Journal article, for example, has been described as a "blockbuster" story. In my opinion, it contained little that was new and nothing that was surprising. I don't doubt that various people, including the press, conspired, but the fact that Joe Biden was senile was open and obvious. It was obvious even before he became president. He ran a basement campaign in 2020, while Donald Trump, who is nearly as old as Biden, toured the country putting on one massive rally after another. I assume everyone understood the reason for that contrast: Biden wasn't up to running anything like a normal presidential campaign. Biden's disability was obvious throughout his presidency. He couldn't talk without a teleprompter. On the rare occasions when he wasn't reading a script, he quickly veered into incoherence or worse. Even with a teleprompter, he couldn't be trusted. He would read instructions like "Pause" and "Repeat line." An intelligent fifth-grader would have done better. Biden fell down (or up) steps. He wandered aimlessly. He was officially on vacation half the time. The fact that his aides protected him from public exposure was obvious. And it's not as though no one was talking about his evident incapacity.

The Gift That Just Keeps on Giving. In our previous exposé, we revealed the staggering scope of Biden's Christmas clemency spree: 1,500 convicted criminals — including spies, predators, and fraudsters — were granted freedom under the guise of "second chances." Public outrage was swift and justified. But the deeper we dig, the clearer it becomes that this was no impulsive act of misplaced mercy. Instead, it was the culmination of three years of calculated efforts orchestrated by Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco and a cadre of radical bureaucrats at the Department of Justice (DOJ). With Biden largely absent from the helm, this administration's ideologues have seized the reins, turning clemency into a political weapon aimed squarely at reshaping the justice system into a caricature of equity — where the rights of victims are an afterthought and public safety is sacrificed for ideological purity.

Wall Street Journal Interviews 50 Biden Staff and Officials Who Outline Cognitive Decline. The Wall Street Journal triggered a lot of attention with a lengthy expose' article sourced from 50 members of the Biden administration who mostly admit: Joe Biden's cognitive decline was obvious early in the administration and rapidly worsened in the last two years. The article outlines what most of the non-pretending group already knew, Biden was selected by Team Obama specifically because he was easily controlled by a group of insider staff allowing the Obama agenda to continue with Biden as the avatar for it. Heck, they even created a soundstage and fake Oval Office backdrop; but we are not supposed to mention that reminder, are we?

Pre-emptive Pardons and Cheap Grace. Pre-emptive pardons, which essentially are instruments designed to protect persons who have not yet been investigated or charged with crimes they may have committed, are fundamentally unearned blanket forgiveness. They are what Dietrich Bonhoeffer, German theologian and martyr, characterized as "cheap grace." [...] Pre-emptive pardons amount to secularized salvation based only on the grace and mercy extended by a mere human being, the president of the United States. The president decrees that the law has not been and is not presently applicable to those he pre-emptively pardons. They are guiltless, no matter what they have done or whom they have harmed. They are guiltless even though they have not confessed, have not repented, and doubtless remain disinclined to change their ways.

Massive 17,000 Page Report on How the Biden Admin Weaponized the Federal Government [has been Published]. A bombshell 17,000-page report was just dropped, detailing specific instances where the Biden administration has weaponized the federal government for political gain. The extensive document, compiled by the House Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, outlines claims of misuse of federal agencies to target political opponents, suppress dissent, and influence public opinion. This raises serious questions about the integrity of the federal bureaucracy and the Biden Administration's four years in office. [Advertisement] During the nearly two-year investigation, exposed a "two-tiered system of government," witht the committee finding several cases of censorship, whistleblower retaliation, and the politicization of federal agencies and top law enforcement. The report notes that the objective of the committee is to "protect and strengthen the fundamental rights of the American people." Although its work is not done, the report assures the American people that this was the necessary first step to stop the weaponization of the federal government and to make sure it no longer works against the United States.

Joe Biden Met With Hunter's Business Associates More Times Than With His Cabinet. They say the U.S. presidency is the loneliest job in the world. Maybe the second-loneliest gig is that of Cabinet secretary in President Joe Biden's administration. A piece published Thursday in the Wall Street Journal pulls from dozens of sources who say Biden's inner circle of trusted aides increasingly kept contact with the president at a minimum, including the people he should have depended on most to consult and advise for the good of the nation. The president who has spent a good chunk of his term out of the office apparently was not all that keen on meetings with his Cabinet secretaries. In fact, Biden may have met more often with his criminal son's sketchy clients than he has with his administration's top managers. Joe Biden was such a political liability that his handlers hid him away during the 2020 presidential campaign. The man campaigned from his Delaware basement through the brunt of the election year. The cloistered strategy wasn't as much about protecting the feeble geezer from Covid as it was designed to prevent American voters from seeing what a physical and mental mess Biden really was.

For 4 Years, America Had No President. The Wall Street Journal has an article delving into the efforts to cover up Biden's mental state. But the article raises as many questions as it answers. [...] This has been old news for a while and hardly anyone except a few insiders is even denying the obvious. The real question is who was actually running the country? We already knew that Biden had limited interaction with cabinet members. The article amplifies that. [...] A small group of 'close aides and advisers' was running the show on the inside while cabinet members and lower level policymakers were able to do what they wanted. There's a lot of conversation within the Dems about the influence of 'groups' like the ACLU on the functioning of the administration. All that was possible because there was [no] place that the buck really stopped. There was no president.

Fraud in the Oval Office: The White House Cover-Up Exposed. For four long years, the nation was deceived. The so-called leaders of the free world operated as though the American people were mere spectators at a puppet show — and the marionette strings were held tightly by an unelected clique of aides and handlers. We now know, thanks to a [scathing] investigation by The Wall Street Journal, that President Joe Biden's mental decline was not only a known issue from day one but was systematically covered up by his closest advisors and White House staff. This wasn't just poor management or political spin; it was fraud against the United States government and the American people. The deliberate concealment of a president's inability to fulfill his constitutional duties is not only immoral but illegal. The culprits must face both criminal and civil consequences to restore integrity to the republic and ensure such a betrayal never happens again.

The Terrifying Scandal Is That Biden Was NEVER President. Having been lied to for years by the Democratic Party machine and most of the mainstream media — who insisted Joe Biden was not diminished by his age but energized by it — well, it turns out we skeptics were right all along. And what we're learning is terrifying. Infuriating. An unacceptable abuse of power, a usurpation of the presidency itself by a nameless, faceless cohort. Will we ever know who these conspirators are? Two bombshell reports out this week, in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, depict a president thoroughly out to lunch for his entire term: Top cabinet members unable reach him. Staff regularly taking his place at official events. Biden refusing to hold morning meetings but clocking out at 4pm — even though he naps every day and, in July, announced that he'd no longer hold events after 8pm. How many hours has Joe Biden actually spent working? How was the 25th amendment not invoked? Was the danger of a President Kamala Harris — who the liberal media also tried to sell as viable — truly that unthinkable?

'Black Widow,' Who Murdered 3 Ex-Lovers, Freed in Biden's Historic Clemency Spree. A Maryland woman dubbed the "Black Widow" for murdering two husbands and a boyfriend for insurance money is now free after President Joe Biden commuted her 40-year prison sentence, undercutting the White House's claim that Biden released only "non-violent" offenders in a clemency bonanza last week. Among the 1,500 federal convicts granted clemency was Josephine Virginia Gray, who was sentenced to 40 years in prison in 2002 for insurance fraud schemes connected to the murders of three men between 1974 and 1996. Gray was resentenced to the same amount of time again in 2006 following a series of appeals. Gray, who collected $165,000 from the three insurance settlements, was charged with murder by Maryland state authorities but ultimately convicted in federal court in 2002 for insurance fraud for violating what's known as the "slayers rule," which prohibits killers from receiving inheritance and insurance proceeds from their victims' death.

Biden considers commuting the sentences of federal death row inmates: report. As President Biden's term comes to an end, he is reportedly considering commuting the sentences of most, if not all, of the 40 men on the federal government's death row. The Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the matter, reported that the move would frustrate President-elect Trump's plan to streamline executions as he takes office in January. Attorney General Merrick Garland, who oversees federal prisons, recommended that Biden commute all but a handful of egregious sentences, the sources said.

Biden Mulls Commuting Sentences of All 40 Federal Death Row Inmates After Trump Promises to Accelerate Federal Executions. Joe Biden may commute the sentences of all 40 federal death row inmates after pressure from more than 130 human and 'civil rights' groups. This is after Biden commuted the sentences of 1,500 people and pardoned 39 others — the biggest single-day act of clemency in history, the AP reported. Biden also pardoned his son, Hunter, who was convicted of felony gun crimes after he promised he would respect the jury's verdict. President Trump has promised to accelerate federal executions so Joe Biden is likely going to commute their sentences in an effort to derail Trump's plans. Trump's DOJ signed off on 13 federal executions during Trump's first term.

Jill rags on Joe to 'burn the whole thing down'. After doddering, napping, and vacaying through his presidency, Joe Biden has found himself out of a job. It's no big loss, given that he never did the job anyway, but his string-puller behind the Oval Office desk is still fuming. [...] Now that the ouster maneuver came about by Pelosi, George Clooney, and Obama, and Joe threw Kamala Harris in their faces in response, and then marveled at how Kamala could lose the election with his billion-dollar campaign war chest, it's the season of bitterness for Jill Biden. But although Joe is doing his level best to take out Trump before he can start his presidency, selling off parts of the border wall for a pittance, and sealing civil service jobs to prevent layoffs, and pardoning a slew of sleazebags with political ties, which threw mud all over his already wretched presidential record, Jill is busy focusing on Democrats. Whatever she does to them, will be well and mightily deserved, and one can only hope it will be creative and politically painful for them. As long as she's around, she probably will take down that whole house of cards.

All the warning signs Biden was 'senile from day one' of his presidency. These are President Joe Biden's stumbles and mistakes that should have been a clue to his rapidly declining mental health[,] after bombshell report revealed how Democrat insiders and cheerleaders hid his condition from the public. The Biden Administration launched an extensive, deliberate and years-long cover-up in attempt to hide his ailing mental state, a new explosive investigation by The Wall Street Journal has exposed. The bombshell report revealed how Biden's team hired a vocal coach, put other officials into roles usually occupied by the president, scrapped meetings on his 'bad days', and kept him at arm's length from his own Cabinet members. But despite the efforts of 'eager beaver hand-holders', Biden's decline became increasingly obvious throughout time in office, with voters now branding him the worst president in almost 50 years.

The Editor says...
Calling Joe Biden "the worst president in almost 50 years" implies that Jimmy Carter was worse. That is not true. I was an adult during the Jimmy Carter years, and while Carter was weak and incompetent, he wasn't venal, corrupt, lazy, dishonest, perverse and greedy.

White House Biden health cover-up blown wide open in bombshell report: Joe was senile from day one of presidency. The White House tried to hide from the public Joe Biden's rapidly diminishing mental condition for his entire presidency, according to a bombshell report. Biden's team hired a vocal coach, put other officials into roles usually occupied by the president, scrapped meetings on his 'bad days', and kept him at arm's length him from his own Cabinet members. An explosive investigation by The Wall Street Journal has exposed an extensive, deliberate and years-long cover-up that also saw the administration gaslighting those who dared to claim Biden's abilities had deteriorated since he was Barack Obama's vice president. Despite the efforts of 'eager beaver hand-holders', Biden's decline became increasingly obvious, especially after Special Counsel Robert Hur last year released a report depicting a forgetful and frail then-81 year old.

Three Reports: Biden Is Out of It Mentally, Has Been Since at Least 2021. Three reports in the last two days reveal that President Joe Biden's cognitive decline worsened almost as soon as he entered office in 2020, that a phalanx of gatekeepers kept the president hidden away, and that he suffers with "degraded mental faculties" that began just about 12 months after taking office. The latest in reports from The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and O'Keefe Media Group follows the revelation from a top national security aide that Biden is out of it mentally. The disclosures explain why President-elect Trump crushed Biden during their debate in June, and why top Democrats let it proceed: so he would lose, which would force him out of the race. [Tweet] Remarkably, the Journal's refreshingly honest headline didn't sugarcoat the ensuing report: "How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge: Aides kept meetings short and controlled access, top advisers acted as go-betweens and public interactions became more scripted. The administration denied Biden has declined."

This means the undercover video was authentic and what he said must have been true.
Department of Homeland Security Official OUT at DHS After Getting Caught on Undercover Video Discussing Biden's Accelerated Mental Decline. As previously reported, the O'Keefe Media Group on Wednesday evening released undercover video of DHS Under Secretary for Policy, Robert Silvers, admitting Biden's mental decline accelerated 12 to 24 months into his presidency. Silvers also said Trump's win was a "traumatic" and "crushing blow." "[Biden] has degraded faculties," Robert P. Silvers, Under Secretary of Policy at the US Department of Homeland Security admitted on hidden camera footage to an undercover OMG journalist, referring to Joe Biden's accelerated mental decline.

Proof that the Biden DOJ is not only corrupt but is pure evil. Now, after four years of the most corrupt, devious, destructive and anti-American administration in U.S. history, the American people are waking up to this fact: Joe Biden was never a competent member of Congress or the Senate. He was always a pathological liar, an avowed racist, and a money-grubber. He would do anything for money, including betray his own country and use his family to do it. Joe Biden has been selling out his country for decades to enrich himself and his family. This is common knowledge among the D.C. thugs; every denizen of D.C. probably knows this. Does the left care? No, they do not. They care not one iota about ethics, the truth, or what the Constitution actually says. It is quite likely that few of them have ever actually read it.

Biden Wanted to Save Assad. It was galling, to say the least, to see President Joe Biden, taking credit for the fall of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. [...] It was the Obama/Biden administration that elevated Iran and its terrorist proxies in client states like Syria and Lebanon in the first place. Biden hired the same Obama team, his administration representing "Obama's third term." These included Robert Malley as the "Iran Envoy" (since removed for 'mishandling classified documents'), Jake Sullivan, Obama's National Security Advisor, Anthony Blinken, now Secretary of State, and Pentagon spokesman John Kirby. They are Iran-firsters. It has also been one of their obsessions to pursue the so-called Joint Coordinated Plan of Action (JCPOA ) that ultimatelyprovides a pathway to a nuclear bomb for the ayatollahs and Iran, an oil-rich nation with a radical Islamic regime — that would render the region and world far less safe.

Hypothetically, if Our President Were Brain-Dead and the VP an AWOL Drunk, What Would Our Enemies Do? Hey, remember all those wonderful promises that Kamala Harris made? Just five or six weeks ago, she was running for president because she wanted to do all kinds of great things for the American people — and she couldn't wait to get started! After all, she could truly relate to our plight, being from a "middle-class family." (She might've mentioned that a few times.) And just a few months before that, Joe Biden was determined to run for reelection himself, because there was just too much [...] work to be done.[...] It's not that Trump has usurped Biden's presidential authority — Biden and Harris have functionally abandoned it. For better or worse, there's a power vacuum.

A Biden Email Scandal Worse Than Hillary's? In 2016, a scandal surrounding Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state dogged her campaign. The sending and receiving of classified and top-secret information on the server, which didn't meet government security protocols, left sensitive information vulnerable to being hacked by foreign enemies. Apparently, she wasn't the only one in the Obama administration trying to get around disclosure requirements. According to a report from Just the News, "New email records released by the National Archives show then-Vice President Joe Biden was briefed about sensitive foreign policy matters by then-advisor Antony Blinken on his private email account, including details about a failed North Korean missile launch." These records show that Biden used a private email account, robinware456@gmail.com, to receive sensitive foreign policy briefings — a practice that may have introduced significant vulnerabilities.

Biden Seals His Legacy As Worst President In History. Consider what Biden managed in a few short weeks. The unprecedented, sweeping pardon of his son Hunter made a mockery of not only his solemn pledge that he'd trust the justice system but managed to infuriate every Democratic leader and media fanboy who'd sung his praises for that pledge. [...] Biden's decision to commute nearly 1,500 sentences for people — who, he said, "have shown that they deserve a second chance" — and pardon 39 others has raised hackles, even among the mainstream media. [...] CNN ran a story with this headline: "Victims 'shocked' after Biden grants clemency to 'kids for cash' judge and $54 million embezzler." The "kids for cash" judge refers to Michael Conahan, who was convicted of "funneling juveniles to for-profit detention centers in exchange for more than $2 million in kickbacks." One of those juveniles committed suicide. Now we learn that Biden acted "without considering the specifics of his case."

Biden Should be Ashamed of These Pardons & Clemency Grants. President Biden has pardoned or granted clemency to TONS of people, including some controversial prisoners. Glenn and Stu review some of the worst, including a woman who stole $54 million from her small town and the "kids-for-cash" judge, who sent kids to a for-profit juvenile detention center in exchange for $2 million. [Video clip]

Jill Biden Announces Retirement. Joe Biden will finally be going off into the sunset on Jan. 20 after more than 50 years occupying public office. He managed to completely finish off his reputation over the past few years and is leaving having fully earned the title of the worst person to occupy the Oval Office in the last 50 years. Jill Biden will be out the door with him and a lot of this failure is on her head for having him stay in long after he should have retired. She even ridiculously wanted him to run again. How power-hungry can you be? He's now leaving with everyone knowing how cognitively impaired he is and how much he's hurt the country. And he was shoved to the side in a genuinely anti-democratic move that was truly embarrassing for him.

Joe Biden Delivers Delusional Speech at DNC Holiday Party. Lame-duck President Joe Biden took the stage at the Democratic Party's holiday party Sunday evening, reflecting on his time in office and touting his supposed international achievements. Unsurprisingly, his speech was packed with the usual dose of delusion. [...] If you were expecting humility or even an honest assessment of the state of the country, you haven't been paying attention to this presidency. Biden's remarks were a mishmash of self-congratulations, revisionist history about his accomplishments, and a healthy dose of fantasy. For example, despite the Democrats losing an election that was entirely a referendum on the Biden-Harris administration, Biden stood there and declared, "The one thing I've always believed about public service, and especially about the presidency, is the importance of asking yourself, have we left the country better shape than we found it today? I can say without every fiber in my being, with all my heart, the answer to that question is a resounding yes. Yes."

James O'Keefe Releases Shocking Video of NSC Advisor Admitting Biden Is Far Worse Off Than We Know. James O'Keefe dropped an undercover video on Monday in which one of President Joe Biden's National Security Council advisors explains that the cognitively declining president is far worse off than the public knows. [...] Joe Biden is the sitting president of the United States. He figuratively has his finger on the nuclear button. He is handing out pardons to people, including his son Hunter, like they're going out of style, not to mention that the pardon of Hunter and multiple other undeserving recipients makes a mockery of justice. This situation should never again happen with a sitting president. Heads should roll for it happening at this time, and legislation or a constitutional amendment should be passed to ensure that it doesn't.

Are the Years of Madness Ending? For four years, the public, elected officials, and pundits have all warned that Joe Biden was dangerously cognitively challenged and indeed completely unfit to fulfill the duties of the presidency. A long-suffering nation winced as Biden slurred his words, spoke in unintelligible sound bites, stood frozen and mute, screamed at and libeled half the country, tripped, fell, wandered aimlessly, became bewildered, and more or less proved a global embarrassment. All knew Biden was not able to run the country; yet none knew exactly who was actually in charge of America in his stead. The Obamas? Leftists like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, the Squad, Jill Biden, and the Biden staff? Our allies worried that the usually resilient American president was now all but demented. Our enemies enjoyed these leaderless years of opportunity. And the left serially misled the public that the decrepit Biden, whom they feared in private was senile, was "dynamic," "energic," and "fit as a fiddle."

Joe Biden may set a dangerous new precedent with 'preemptive' pardons. There are growing indications that President Biden is about to fundamentally change the use of presidential pardons by granting "prospective" or "preemptive" pardons to political allies. Despite repeated denials of President-elect Donald Trump that he is seeking retaliation against opponents and wants "success [to be] my revenge," Democratic politicians and pundits have called for up to thousands of such pardons. While there is little threat of any viable prosecution of figures like the members of the House's Jan. 6 committee, the use of "White Knight pardons" offers obvious political benefits. After many liberals predicted the imminent collapse of democracy and that opponents would be rounded up by the Trump administration, they are now contemplating the nightmare that democracy might survive and that there will be no mass arrests.

Biden Pardons The Worst People In The World. We know that Joe Biden pardoned his crackhead bagman son, but that was just the start of a pardon and commutation spree of just amazingly awful people. [...] Also getting their sentence commuted was Rita Crundwell, who embezzled a little bit of money while she was comptroller of Dixon, Illinois. Namely, $54 million. [...] But wait! Crundwell isn't the biggest embezzler in Biden's pardon list. That honor goes to "Eric Bloom, the former CEO of Northbrook-based Sentinel Management Group, Inc., who defrauded hundreds of customers of more than $665 million."

Biden Granted Clemency To Multiple Public Officials, Democrat Politicians Convicted Of Corruption. Biden granted clemency last week to several Democrat politicians and public officials convicted on corruption charges. Among the nearly 1,500 criminals whose sentences Biden commuted last week were at least three Democratic politicians and several other public officials, including a former judge notorious for putting thousands of kids behind bars for kickbacks. Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan, one of two judges convicted in 2011 for his role in the "Kids for Cash" scandal, had his sentence commuted by Biden. Conahan and another judge received millions from sending children to private detention facilities where they had a business interest. Several victims of the scheme spoke out against Biden's decision.

The Editor says...
Joe Biden is a senile old man. He signs whatever his handlers put in front of him. If you ask him today if he has ever heard of Judge Michael Conahan, he would probably say, "No".

When has any president ever issued a preemptive pardon?
Bernie Sanders Says Biden Should Consider Preemptive Pardons for January 6 Committee Members. Senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) said President Joe Biden should "very seriously" consider preemptive pardons for members of the House January 6 select committee after president-elect Donald Trump said last week they should be jailed. Sanders twice called Trump's recent statement "outrageous." "This is what authoritarianism is all about. It's what dictatorship is all about," the former Democrat said on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday morning. "You do not arrest elected officials who disagree with you, who undertake an investigation." During a wide-ranging interview with NBC News host Kristen Welker last Sunday, Trump said the seven House Democrats and two House Republicans who served on the January 6 panel "should go to jail." The two Republican members were then-Representatives Liz Cheney (R., Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R., Ill.), both of whom Trump has verbally attacked for their role in investigating the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. Trump was implicated in that investigation for allegedly inciting an insurrection that day before exiting the White House nearly four years ago.

Dem Sen. Klobuchar: I Don't Agree with Biden's 'Middle of the Night' Pardons of His Son, Others. [Transcript of Face the Nation, and little else.]

It Turns Out That Biden Never Considered the 'Specifics' of the 1500 Clemency Cases He Commuted. A "Massachusetts woman on Biden's clemency list was sentenced for 'lethal' fentanyl trafficking conspiracy," according to the Boston Herald. She led a "large-scale criminal enterprise that reaped hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits and caused untold misery." "Former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell stole $53 million from the little town, a crime so notorious that a documentary was made — highlighting that she perpetrated the largest case of municipal fraud in American history," reports Politico. Perhaps most incredibly, the "Cash for Kids" judge in Pennsylvania who wrongly sent dozens of minors to a for-profit prison and got kickbacks for it, was released without any examination of the facts of his case. "The White House commuted the sentence of the judge at the center of a notorious 'kids-for-cash' scandal without considering the specifics of his case, beyond whether it fit into a broad set of criteria," reports Politico. We can assume the rest of the cases of the 1500 prisoners were also examined just as thoroughly.

The Top Five Presidential Public Relations Crises of 2024. Even Reagan, the great communicator and 49-state victor in 1984, lost his first debate with Walter Mondale, of all people. But the crisis for Biden was the way his own leading Democrats talked themselves into a feeding frenzy of horror at having Biden for a candidate. They kept pushing one another (and Biden), forcing him to step down until, three weeks later, he could no longer mount a viable campaign. His was the first presidential coup d'état — admittedly a bloodless one — in American history. Never before had a sitting president, nominated and running for re-election, been forced out by his own party. However, a vengeful Biden cleverly played against that putsch. He'd originally picked beyond long-shot Kamala Harris for his vice president as "insurance" against a 25th Amendment run-around that would have removed him from office. Seeing how weak and ineffective Harris was as VP, nobody would rationally try to push Biden out. Not until the debate made him look — to his opponents — like a loser.

Joe Biden & Co. are doing as much damage to the US as they can before they leave. Joe Biden and the Dem apparat around him have made it plain: They are going to do as much damage to America as they can on the way out the door. Last week brought a record number of presidential pardons, including 1,500 commutations of the sentences of "nonviolent" felons, most of whom were already serving their sentences at home after being sprung from prison during COVID. Except the White House upped the count by overlooking some truly heinous offenses: a Pennsylvania judge who took bribes to send kids to a for-profit "detention" center; an Illinois clerk who embezzled over $53 million from a town of just 15,000 people; a Massachusetts woman convicted for a fentanyl-trafficking conspiracy.

Biden Quietly Commuted Sentences Of Chinese Spies. President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that he was granting 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations in what his administation called the "largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history." But it's not Thursday's set of commutations that have caught the attention of concerned Americans — it's those that were quietly given weeks ago to Chinese spies. X user Nick Sortor posted that "Joe Biden just pardoned multiple Chinese spies and an individual convicted of possessing child p[o]rnography. WHY?" But the thing is, Biden didn't "just" commute the sentences for these criminals — he did it quietly only days before Thanksgiving. While most Americans were finalizing their menus and getting into the holiday spirit, Biden commuted the sentence of Yanjun Xu on November 22. Xu was convicted in 2022 for "conspiracy to commit economic espionage; conspiracy to commit trade secret theft; attempted economic espionage by theft or fraud; attempted theft of trade secrets by taking or deception." But according to Biden's pardon, "it is in the national interest that the term of imprisonment related to the aforesaid conviction not be served in its entirety." Xu was ordered to leave the United States and never return or commit any other crimes against the United States, according to the pardon.

The question that the press corps needs to ask but won't. In the statement accompanying the recent pardon of his son, Hunter, President Biden stated that he believed that his son was being improperly prosecuted by the Department of Justice because of their familial relationship. [...] While I disagree with the president's view of the propriety of the pardon, it does raise an interesting question: if the president sincerely believes that the Department of Justice is acting improperly and out of control, then why does he allow those members of his administration, especially Attorney General Garland, to continue to serve in his office? Shouldn't he be fired immediately for incompetence or improper behavior? How can he reasonably be allowed to continue in office, given the president's view? He serves at the pleasure of the chief executive. If Biden's view is to be taken seriously, Garland's immediate firing is required, even if only a few days are left in the administration.

So long is too good a word. Earlier this week President Biden wandered up the street from the White House to [give a speech at] the Brookings Institution. [...] Biden was introduced by Brookings co-chairman Glenn Hutchins and, more briefly, by Brookings president Cecilia Rouse. From 2021 to 2023, Rouse served as Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. According to her, "inequality and climate change" are what it's all about. The "climate" for "inequality" should be "changing." Rosue, by the way, is one of the Biden administration economists who toed the "transitory" line on inflation. In May 2021, Rouse attributed inflation to a mismatch between supply and demand due to the pandemic and the economic snap-back that had pushed inflation higher. She assured us the mismatch should prove temporary. [...] Hutchins then held out Biden as a person "who exemplifies the Brookings mission" and who has "consistently shown his commitment to evidence based policy making." If only Hutchins had congratulated Biden on his good judgment and integrity, we could be sure that he was kidding.

Biden Commutes Sentence of Judge Who Took Kickbacks for Sending Kids to For-Profit Juvenile Detention. President Biden on Thursday commuted the prison sentence of Michael Conahan, a former judge who pleaded guilty to sending juvenile defendants to two private, for-profit detention centers in exchange for $2.1 million in kickbacks. The 72-year-old judge pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy charges in 2011 and was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison for the "Kids-for-Cash" scheme. He has been in home confinement in Florida under federal supervision since June 2020, when he requested a "compassionate release" because of the Covid-19 pandemic, arguing he was "in grave danger of not only contracting the virus, but of dying from the virus." Conahan, whose commutation was first reported by the Citizens' Voice, was one of 1,499 commutations Biden granted this week.

Another skanky Biden pardon: A corrupt judge who jailed kids for long terms on minor offenses in exchange for kickbacks. After spending his entire presidency coddling criminals and supporting Sorosian lawlessness, Joe Biden decided to commute the sentence of the one judge out there who sentenced kids to draconian, disproportionate jail terms on minor drug offenses — in exchange for $2.1 million in kickbacks from private prison owners who belong in jail, too. [...] Rats like this belong in jail, given the level of injustice they do to young people from their position of respectability and public trust. A sentence that overpunishes a miscreant is just as bad as a slap on the wrist sentence for a bad crime, but in some ways worse, actually, given the injury it does to the detainees' psyches. And to see that in this judge's case, that it was done for big dollars for himself, is unspeakable.

Joe Biden Considers A Scorched Earth Policy On His Way Out The Door. Biden, the politician who's never had a job that didn't come from the government, has contempt for the Republic. For him, America, and in particular the government, is just a vehicle for accumulating power and money. The man is an inveterate liar. He lies about important things and trivial. He lied about riding the train, the death of his grandfather, and being shot at in Iraq. He lied about the truck driver who killed his wife and daughter in 1972, claiming that the man had been drunk despite police records of the time showing no such thing. He cheated in college, lied about his standing at graduation in law school, and, fatally for his 1988 presidential run, plagiarized Neil Kinnock, a British politician.

The Editor says...
Joe Biden needs to read Revelation 21:8.

The Most Corrupt Administration In American History Just Got Even Worse. You might think that the Biden administration had already hit rock bottom. Pardoning Hunter seemed like it set the bar in terms of sleaze. Surely, even Beijing Biden could not go any lower. But, of course, he has. [Video clip] Yanjun Xu is a Chinese intelligence officer. He was sent to the United States to target American companies and steal defense secrets. His job was to acquire intelligence that would allow the Chinese to win a war against us and kill our servicemen and women. He set up a network of sources in the United States in pursuit of this objective. Xu was caught, prosecuted, and imprisoned. [...] Joe Biden just pardoned Xu and ordered him released from custody.

Biden Takes Credit for Syria Regime Change He Tried to Prevent. There are lots of mostly bad things that President Joe Biden can justly take credit for, but the fall of Syria is not one of them. The only real reason this happened is because Israel threw off the shackles and decided to go after Hezbollah after a year of terror. And Biden did everything to prevent that. At the very end, he used an arms embargo to force Israel into a fake "ceasefire" with Hezbollah. But by then Israel had done enough damage to Hezbollah that Turkey's Jihadists were able to just roll into Syria, and Iran decided to sell them out and pull back. But now Biden is trying to take credit.

Six Weeks Until Our Long National Nightmare Is Over. Biden's lies were so egregious that at a recent White House press briefing, CNN reporter MJ Lee asked a very pertinent question, "The next time that the president says he will or won't do something, why should the American people believe him?" Of course, the American people should never believe Biden, for he has been lying and plagiarizing his entire political career. For example, in the 1988 presidential race, Biden was forced to withdraw his candidacy after it was discovered he repeatedly plagiarized from the speeches of British political leader Neil Kinnock, among others. Sadly, Hunter's pardon will be just the beginning, for over the next six weeks, Biden will undoubtedly issue more controversial pardons. Some political observers speculate Biden could pardon other family members, such as his brother James. He could also issue preemptive pardons for people who might face an investigation from the Trump Justice Department. This list includes Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired General Mark Milley, Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA) and former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney. These pardons will only make the unpopular Biden more hated by the American people.

Biden's Pardon: A Smokescreen for Corruption. Joe Biden has carefully cultivated his image as an empathetic man of the people. In reality, his career has been marked by a relentless pursuit of wealth for himself and his family. His son Hunter Biden was central to these schemes, operating as the family "bag man" for various influence-peddling operations overseas. [Advertisement] As such, Joe Biden's decision to pardon Hunter is not an act of mercy or justice or even paternal loyalty but a cynical maneuver to shield both Hunter and Joe Biden from responsibility. [Advertisement] Its brazenness has moved even Joe Biden's most ardent defenders to condemnation. [Advertisement] After all the pious talk invoking the "rule of law" during the years-long prosecutions of Donald Trump, Hunter's pardon shows that there has always been a parallel set of rules, through which the powerful and politically favored can escape scrutiny. This case is also a reminder of how the rule of law can be perverted not only by being too harsh but also by being too solicitous. The media have feigned shock at his pardon, but they should have known better. Even before he was facing charges, Hunter's job as a highly paid board member of a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, was absurd on its face. He had no relevant skills or qualifications justifying a $50,000 monthly salary — except, of course, his last name.

The Biden Crime Family Is Above the Law. If Hunter Biden had a different last name, he would never have been able to launch a career in corrupt influence peddling or launder millions through his "art" or write a self-serving memoir about crack-fueled whoremongering or dump a gun next to a high school without any real consequences. If Hunter's last name weren't "Biden," special counsel David Weiss would never have let him get away with failing to register as a foreign agent or avoid paying millions in taxes that flowed from his foreign arrangements. If your name isn't Biden, don't try writing off your hookers and crack as tax deductions. If Hunter had been treated like anyone else, the Justice Department wouldn't have tried to give him blanket immunity not only on gun and tax charges but on a slew of uninvestigated potential offenses, including bribery and corruption. If it hadn't been for a principled judge named Maryellen Noreika asking the government's so-called prosecutors if they could provide a single precedent in which immunity was offered to a person for "crimes in a different case" (they could not), Hunter Biden would have walked last year. The DOJ was trying to pardon Hunter Biden long before Donald Trump won the presidency.

Beijing Biden's Real Reason for Pushing Electric Vehicles So Much. [Video clip — No transcript or synopsis available.]

Biden's Paranoid Pardons and Leftist Morality. Joe Biden has now established two precedents in presidential history. First, he "pardoned" his own son Hunter. No prior president has ever tried that shameless act, which is an affront to the entire hallowed notion of "equality under the law." Second, he did so in a way that no president has rarely, if ever, pardoned anyone. Hunter, a convicted federal felon awaiting sentencing, was gifted by his father a blanket exemption from federal prosecution over the entire past decade (2014-2024). Biden thus exempted Hunter from a series of much-discussed past criminal activities and provided further pardons for any federal criminal exposure occurring over the last ten years — yet to turn up. [...] Third, in the remaining waning 40 days of his now nonperforming presidency, Biden threatens to establish yet another presidential precedent. He contemplates issuing pardons to a variety of controversial cronies, bureaucrats, and officers — even though none of them have yet been indicted or even are under federal investigation.

Guns, lies and audiotape: How Biden's family ties could lead to another pardon. Booneville, Mississippi — In this sleepy county seat dotted with vacant brick storefronts, the immense estate that dominates the southern approach into town stands as a monument to legal savvy and political pull. The property's endless brick walls and winding footpaths represent the tangible fruits of decades of courtroom wrangling and backroom deal-making that made Joey Langston Booneville's leading citizen — and a longtime political ally of the Biden family. Now, the Langston family's relationship with President Joe Biden could be the difference between freedom and incarceration for one of its members.

How Trump Can Leverage the Hunter Biden Pardon. [Scroll down] When Joe Biden pardoned his son, he showed us that Democrat claims that "nobody is above the law" were always a cheap political lie. If he pre-emptively pardons those who have undermined our Constitution, he'll be showing us that "equal justice under law" is similarly inoperative. I have no doubt that Biden will use his remaining days in office to commit of any number of acts in service to himself rather than his country. He will then retire to his estate in Delaware — which was paid for by Russia, Ukraine, and China — safe from prosecution and without a care in the world about the damage he has done. Any Republican candidate who fails to remind the public — for the next decade — what the closing days of Biden's administration revealed about the Democrat party will be guilty of political malpractice. I suspect Joe's actions will be seen by history as more damaging to a political party than any action by a politician in generations.

Wailing and Gnashing at the DNC. [Scroll down] Democrats will blame Biden for these policies, but they are the result of a dream that became a nightmare for the elitists at the DNC. They thrust Biden on the people, made him president, then armed him with the outlandish policies discussed above. Joe Biden couldn't stay upright on a bicycle, on a stage, or on stairs. He struggled to speak from a teleprompter and couldn't deliver a coherent response to a reasonably posed question. Biden is the proverbial character who would rather climb a tree to tell a lie than stand his ground and speak the truth. While Biden's mental health visibly deteriorated, Democrat politicians professed his competence, energetic bearing, incorruptible character, and brilliant intellect. In the end, the cohort of Democrats that supported Biden's incompetence were the biggest liars in the room.

Tommy Tuberville Shares What We're All Wondering About the Hunter Biden Pardon. It's been a week since President Joe Biden announced he was pardoning his son, Hunter, after he and White House Press Secretary Karine-Jean Pierre had already claimed multiple times he would do no such thing. The reaction has been strong and swift, with Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) among those weighing in. [...] The pardon for Hunter isn't merely noteworthy when it comes to the first son's crimes and convictions, but the timeframe. The pardon dates back to nearly 11 years, when Joe Biden was actually in office as the vice president. In speaking with Dakick, Tuberville repeated what he had said earlier that week to a gaggle of press, which is that "that's his son, most parents would do that." It goes deeper than that, though, as Tuberville lambasted the corruption involved. "Number one, it's the most corrupt political family, even more than the Clintons, that's been in politics all their life. They have taken millions of dollars from Ukraine, from China. It's a known fact. The money has gone into the banks, millions of dollars to grandkids, the kids, to Biden himself. They made a fortune off this country, off the American taxpayers. They haven't paid taxes on it. The kid is a drug addict. He'll never get off crack. He can't get off of it. He's got huge problems," Tuberville shared, speaking about the Biden family as a whole and specifically about Hunter.

Biden White House Isn't Blaming Trump for His Pardon of Hunter. It's Blaming This Guy Instead. Oddly enough, [Biden's chief propagandist, Karine] Jean-Pierre did not blame the man whom the left regards as the focus of evil in the modern world, Donald Trump, for the Hunter pardon. Would that have been too much of a stretch even for the dwindling number of true-believing Bidenites to accept? Instead, she blamed Rep. James Clyburn (D-Trump Is Hitler). What Clyburn has done to offend the Biden crime family remains a mystery, but the New York Post reported that Jean-Pierre claimed that Old Joe had a hard time making up his mind about whether or not to pardon Hunter, and that it was Clyburn who pushed The Big Guy over the edge into naked, gleeful, my-family-is-above-the-law corruption. [...] Clyburn himself, meanwhile, is calling for even more corrupt pardons, saying: "I also told them that I thought he ought to go even further, because all the noise about Jack Smith and Liz Cheney and Doctor Fauci and all of that." The Post helpfully added that it isn't just Clyburn: "senior White House officials are discussing the need for Biden to issue such preemptive pardons to stave off potential inquiries and indictments against Trump critics." In addition to Smith, Cheney, and Fauci, on the short list for get-out-of-jail-free cards are Sen.-elect Adam Schiff (D-Get Trump) and retired Gen. Mark Milley, who has fifteen medals on his chest for every war he lost.

Joe Biden is claiming a 'plenary' pardon power even kings did not enjoy. It's one thing to do as Joe Biden did with Hunter's pardon; make all past crimes forgiven. That was broad and bad enough. But what's being discussed now wasn't ever even in the purview of kings!!! We decamped from England over King George III's tyranny but even his tyranny did not involve effectively immunizing his pals for all past and future crimes! Joe Biden is claiming a right even kings never enjoyed! [...] It's quite literally unheard of and completely unprecedented for Joe Biden to actually do what he is considering doing for his deep state allies and fellow conspirators against Donald Trump and, by extension, us, the American people.

Not a Joke. The Hunter Biden super-sized blanket pardon went over so well around the country that "Joe Biden" — or the shadowy league of not-quite-geniuses who run the twilight White House operation — floated the idea of issuing preemptive pardons for a few of the most spectacularly dishonest characters in US political life: Dr. Fauci, Senator-elect Adam Schiff, and Liz Cheney. Does "JB" plan on legally adopting them so he can claim he was moved to act out of a father's love? Like every official act ever associated with the name "Joe Biden," the preemptive pardon idea has that reality-optional feel. None of the three has been convicted of a crime to be pardoned for, or even been hauled-in for questioning by federal law enforcement agents on a probable cause writ. But a pardon would necessarily paint them as criminals, ipso facto. Would they accept a pardon, with what it implies, or run shrieking from it as from an apple polished with novichok? The proffer of a pardon itself must amount to a declaration of probable cause, igniting the very legal process it seeks to dispose of. An inquiry would have to be launched to discover what laws these three desperadoes might have broken, followed perhaps by a grand jury to evaluate the evidence, and so on.

The Talk of "Preemptive Pardons". This time the White House discussion boils down to 'Lawfare agents must be protected from any retaliation for their action'. Pardons presumably provide the mechanism to protect the victims. In the big picture of ideology, this is a continuation of the same mindset. Politico started the narrative with an outline saying the White House was having an internal debate as to whether Joe Biden should preemptively issue pardons to members of the J6 committee, members who constructed false impeachment accusations, members within the DOJ who fabricated political cases using the Special Counsel process, or generally people on the political left who supported/facilitated all the aforementioned false attack fronts. As the narrative is told, all those who supported the attacks against President-Elect Trump and his allies, now need to be protected from "retribution." Inherent in the argument, and within the use of pardons, is the baseline that some form of illegal activity was taking place. [Indeed], if it wasn't unlawful conduct, then no pardon would be needed. This is the political catch-22 created by the preemptive pardon narrative.

Biden's Preemptive Pardons: A Shield That Could Become a Sword. President Biden's reported consideration of preemptive pardons could reshape the accountability landscape dramatically, potentially exposing him to greater legal jeopardy rather than providing the insulation he might expect. If he proceeds to issue sweeping pardons to everyone involved in his alleged influence-peddling — including his brother Jim Biden and figures tied to his various international dealings during his time as vice president — alongside key players in the lawfare targeting Donald Trump, such as Attorney General Merrick Garland, Special Counsel Jack Smith, NYC DA Alvin Bragg, acting Justice Merchan, and Fani Willis, Biden's decision could trigger unintended and disastrous consequences. The strategy may provide temporary relief, but it ultimately risks dismantling the very network of protection he has established, potentially turning once-loyal allies into significant liabilities.

Schweizer: The Truth About the Hunter Biden Pardon — A Proxy Deal for the Whole Family. In addition to effectively ending investigations into alleged Biden family corruption, The Drill Down notes, six other factors should be stressed about Joe Biden's unprecedented pardoning of his son. [#1] The enormous scope. Not only was this for a family member, but it effectively made Hunter Biden immune anything he might have done for the past 10 years, whether charged or uncharged, convicted or accused. The president made sure his son could not be charged based on the results of investigations that are still ongoing into his influence peddling. [#2] This is a proxy pardon that will extend to Joe Biden and other members of the Biden family. By pardoning Hunter, Biden crippled ongoing investigations into influence peddling that also implicated Joe and his brothers Frank and James, who made deals in similar fashion. Schweizer calls it, "a stunning acknowledgment of how corrupt this family is." [#3] The timing matters. Why does it specifically start with Jan. 1, 2014, and end Dec. 1, 2024? Because, Schweizer explains, right after the start date is when the money from China first began to flow.

Here's the Discussion Reportedly Going on About More Biden Pardons — and the Big Names Being Mentioned. Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter is incredibly concerning particularly given the breadth of what Joe Biden covered — everything in the past 11 years, not just the tax or the gun charges. So, it could cover any federal crime in that period of time — including drugs, trafficking, foreign influence peddling, which could touch Joe himself. Talk about throwing over the norms and stomping on them. I warned he might not be done yet. As I wrote in a VIP story after the Hunter pardon dropped Monday, more pardons might be coming, including potentially a pardon for Joe Biden himself: [...] Then if the pardons are as preemptive and broad as Hunter's, they could absolve them of all kinds of potential criminal behavior. This is a complete repudiation of the rule of law. And as I said, Martin's column blames the discussions on concerns about "reprisals" and "revenge."

The Real Hunter Biden Scandal: The pardon is the least of it. In what might be the greatest subtweet of 2024, outgoing Democratic congressman Dean Phillips spoke for many Americans when he posted on X: "Let's just say the quiet part out loud, certain Americans are indeed above the law and influence is always for sale." Phillips was, of course, responding to the big news on Sunday that President Joe Biden had pardoned his son Hunter — something he had repeatedly vowed he would never do. [...] Every president hands out pardons at the end of his time in office — but not like this. When Bill Clinton pardoned his half-brother for a 1985 felony drug conviction, Roger Clinton had already served a year in prison. The current president pardoned his son before he was even sentenced. So the president has not just gifted his son with a get-out-of-jail-free card for Hunter Biden's embarrassing gun charge. He has not just wiped the slate clean for his tax code violations. The presidential pardon also applies to Hunter's most egregious offense: his well-documented efforts to peddling access to his dad, when Biden was vice president, to foreign interests ranging from a Chinese state-run bank to a well-heeled Kazakhstan oligarch. That should outrage anyone who cares about our justice system.

Politico Predicts: Presidential Pardons for Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney, and Adam Schiff? Hunter Biden isn't a sympathetic character. He's an adulterous, gun-toting addict who broke laws, ripped-off creditors, and used his dad's connections to pocket millions of dollars he didn't deserve. That's not exactly the resume of Atticus Finch. On the merits of the case — or the strength of his character — Hunter Biden is a PR nightmare. He's a spoiled, unlikeable trust fund kid who dotes on hookers, guns, and oodles of drugs. From his bizarre affair with his brother's widow to denying paternity (and money) to a child he fathered with a stripper, Hunter Biden isn't the kind of guy you can stick on "The View" and hope he charms middle America. The opposite is true: The more we see and hear, the less we like. Which is why the White House PR team emphasized their father-son relationship above all else.

President Biden's Pathetic Public Life. Many TV outlets are obsessed with President Biden's pardoning of his son. The pro-Democrat outlets defend Biden's assertion that political motivations within the Justice Dept. are driving prosecution of his innocent son (sic). Also, there are sentimental defenses regarding a father's connection or compassion for his own son — his flesh and blood — as being completely understandable. The more conservative media see this "pardon" as completely hypocritical and an outright lie, noting the frequency of the president's assertions that he would not under any circumstances pardon his son, which assertions were backed up by repeated assertions by his mature and brilliant press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, that he would not be pardoning his son if the son were convicted. [...] It is interesting that no mention has been made by conservatives about Tony Bobulinski, who repeatedly reported on Hunter Biden's and Joe Biden's complex pay-to-play "business dealings" (sic) with interests in the PRC and Ukraine. No mention has been made about all the Biden so-called family businesses that were incorporated over the years, which businesses have no listed products or services.

Preemptive pardons? Biden has pardoned his pathetically criminal son who he has obviously abused in ways most of us could never imagine. Hunter was, and probably still is, as perverted and degenerate as he has always been, but he's now been absolved of the few and minimal abuses for which he was charged while the far more serious and treasonous crimes he's committed in his father's name have been ignored. The Biden family is most assuredly a crime family in every way that phrase is meant. Think "The Godfather" without the essential and requisite smarts. Our left thinks they are smarter than the rest of us, but they're not. They're just arrogant, smug, and purposefully pernicious. That the Biden cabal is willing to admit the many crimes the Democrat party has performed and hopes to bury by seeking pre-emptive pardons for their anti-American operatives is proof that they know what they've done is predatory, criminal, and unconstitutional.

Nobody Knew (Except Most Did!) Media mouth-breathers are shocked that Dementia Joe Biden would pardon his son for eleven years' worth of crimes against the United States. He said he would do no such thing! He gave us his word — as a Biden! Yeah, about that last bit — I don't know exactly when Child-Sniffing Joe started referencing his family name as a way to assure the public that his promises are always kept, but the word "Biden" has been synonymous with corruption at least since the Delaware Dimwit first entered politics a half-century ago. [...] President-in-Name-Only Biden gave his "word as a Biden" to protect U.S. service members leaving Afghanistan, struggling families crushed by inflation, and blue-collar towns enduring both "green energy" regulations and increased crime from Democrats' open borders. Joe repeatedly promised to keep Americans safe, lower household costs, and create an economy that works for everybody. His "word as a Biden" was as trustworthy as Hunter's promises to pay rent, alimony, child support, and taxes.

As People in NC Are Living in Tents in the Cold, Biden Pledges More Money Overseas. We reported on Tuesday about how Joe Biden said that he was giving Africa a billion dollars to deal with disasters, including "food insecurity." I noted how insane that was given that we have people right now in North Carolina living in tents who are still not getting the help or the money they need to survive in the wake of Hurricane Helene — that's since September. What is he doing in Africa when his first priority should be America and Americans? All he seemed to be doing was embarrassing us including falling asleep at a summit meeting. Here's another video of how obviously it was he was asleep as the leader of Tanzania was speaking. [Tweet with video clip]

Biden aides mulling preemptive pardons for Dr. Fauci, Liz Cheney and host of Trump critics in his line of fire. Aides of President Joe Biden are debating whether the outgoing Democratic president should issue preemptive pardons for figures President-elect Donald Trump has named as his political enemies. Politico reported Wednesday that among those being discussed for blanket pardons are former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, Sen.-elect Adam Schiff and Dr. Anthony Fauci. Biden — who has been busy dealing with the fallout from his decision to pardon his son Hunter over gun and tax crimes — hasn't been brought into the discussions yet, the outlet said.

Hunter's Pardon Vindicates Trump. [Scroll down] To put it more bluntly: Joe Biden has just pardoned his son for the very crimes that Trump sought to investigate, which ultimately resulted in Trump's impeachment. In fact, the most notable aspect of the pardon is the timeframe it encompasses. The offenses for which Hunter was convicted occurred in 2018. The official narrative regarding events prior to 2018 has consistently portrayed Hunter as just an ordinary businessman who did nothing wrong. So why, then, is the pardon retroactively dated to begin on January 1, 2014? That was eleven years ago, an excessively long period for which all crimes and potential crimes have now been forgiven. This timing is not coincidental. Most, if not all, of the Ukraine corruption involving the Biden family began in 2014 and largely concluded by the time Joe Biden left the vice presidency in January 2017. In other words, the extended timeframe covered by the pardon, beyond what Hunter has already been convicted of, conveniently coincides with the exact period during which the Bidens were profiting from their Ukraine schemes.

Jonathan Turley Says Language Of Hunter Biden Pardon Is 'Unprecedented'. George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Monday the language in President Joe Biden's pardon of his son, Hunter, is historically "unprecedented." Biden formally issued a "full and unconditional pardon" for Hunter regarding any crime he is charged of or may have committed since 2014, including any potential charges regarding an alleged influence peddling-scheme during his time on a now-defunct Ukrainian gas company's board. Turley told Fox News' Martha MacCallum that there has never been any language resembling Biden's pardon seen in previous pardons which showed a "breathtaking act of contempt for the American people." "The language of this pardon is virtually unprecedented," Turley said. "I mean, [former President Richard] Nixon was very, very broad. But we've never seen anything like this. [Biden is] literally pardoning his son for any crime that he may have committed during these years. Everything from money laundering to murder. Now he could be charged with state offenses, but the statutes of limitations have largely run on those offenses. So it's a really breathtaking act of contempt for the American people and it has happened over and over again."

Behold the Hundreds of Crimes for Which Hunter Biden Just Got Pardoned. To no one's surprise — go stand in a corner if you were — Joe Biden went back on his "word as a Biden" and pardoned the family bagman, his 54-year-old son Hunter, for crimes he committed from 2014-2024. That ten-year retrospective pardon covers a lot of crimes, many of which we'll go through below. The pardon is breathtaking in its scope. Usually, someone serves some time for a crime, and then a president commutes a sentence and pardons the person for the reasons they're in the slammer. Not so here. Far from it. Hunter hasn't been sentenced yet. He likely wouldn't have done prison time. But there's an entire universe of crimes on Hunter Biden's laptop that he committed for the family business, the product of which was access to and favors from Joe Biden. As former federal prosecutor and former congressman Trey Gowdy asked Sunday night: Who's the pardon for, Hunter or Joe? The answer is both.

Maureen Callahan's howl of rage and disgust at Biden's Hunter pardon. What little was left of Joe Biden's legacy is in tatters. Having promised the American people repeatedly, and for months, that he wouldn't do it — well, on Sunday night, President Biden announced that he had pardoned his son Hunter, for crimes committed as well as any future charges. Future charges! [...] The totality of Hunter's depravity, however, begs the question: What does Joe Biden know that we don't? What other skeletons hang in the family closet? We certainly can't rely on the liberal media, which spent years denying that Hunter's laptop was real — a Russian hoax, per the New York Times, MSNBC and their ilk — while telling us that Biden was sharper than ever (until he wasn't), that the border was secure, the economy was gangbusters, that men can be women, that Kamala Harris was totally qualified and that Donald Trump was Hitler.

Just How Stupid Do They Think We Are? As I'm sure you're well aware by now, père Biden's blanket pardon forgives all of Hunter's transgressions going back ten years, when father (then vice president) and son were both playing footsie with Vladimir Putin's old cronies in Kyiv. Burisma? Pardoned. Million-dollar tax evasion? Ditto. Gun offenses, all of it. Then there's the Big Lie because it isn't Joe Biden without one. "No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter's cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son," Biden said in a statement on Sunday, "and that is wrong." Oh, please. Hunter was guilty of far more than he was ever convicted of. The Biden DOJ dragged its feet and let the worst offenses slip under the statute of limitations and only brought him to court after whistleblowers blew up the DOJ's sweetheart plea deal. If Joe had gotten his way — and he nearly did — there would have been no need for pardon.

James Woods Shreds Hunter Biden Pardon as Cover Up of 'Biggest Criminal Operation in American History'. Actor James Woods has provided some much-needed perspective following President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter, saying the real issue isn't drugs or guns, but rather "the money laundering scheme headed by the Big Guy." James Woods put the war in Ukraine front and center in an X post late Sunday, focusing on the billions of tax payer dollars the Biden presidency has funneled into the conflict. "The Big Guy" is a reference to the nickname that is widely assumed to be for Joe Biden. The nickname was used in multiple business correspondences involving the Biden family and their mysterious overseas business partners.

The Biden paradox. If you think President Biden is the leader of a crime family and everything he says is a a lie, father pardoning son despite numerous vows he would never do so comes as something other than a surprise. When Joe pardoned Hunter yesterday, however, he prefaced it with a laughable statement. The White House has posted the text of the statement and the pardon [elsew]here. Biden actually includes this proposition in the preface: "For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth." The proposition is refuted by the pardon itself. Like the man from Crete who propounded the famous paradox, Biden may as well have declared: "All Bidens are liars." What a pathetic farce.

Joe Biden is the self-serving liar Democrats claimed Trump was. Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter marks a new low for the Democrats. As Adrian Vermeule has noted, dredging up the President's criticism of the Supreme Court ruling on Donald Trump — "no one is above the law" misses the mark; this is not a matter of legal technicality but cartoonish nepotism that lays bare the rank hypocrisy of his party. For months leading up to the 2020 election Democrats thundered from the pulpit about Trump's venal, self-serving nature, how he was a liar unfit to serve as President, and how he needed to be replaced to protect American democracy. In order to achieve this end, they proceeded to lie about Hunter Biden's laptop, lie about Russian collusion with Trump, and repeatedly stated their doubts about any vaccine announced before polling day in 2020. How lucky for them, then, that the announcement of Pfizer's success was delayed due to a change in trial protocol after pressure was poured on the company by public health officials, with the new data available just after the election.

Why did Joe release the pardon on Sunday? [Scroll down] The pardon covers everything Hunter did or may have done from 1/1/2014 through 12/1/2024. That covers a lot of ground. It's been said that Ukraine has a bit of a corruption problem and that Burisma Holdings is no bastion of honesty itself. Hunter went to work for Burisma in 2014. Apparently they valued his expertise in the extraction, processing, sale and distribution of fossil fuels. I've underestimated that boy. Now reports are surfacing that perhaps as much as 50% of all U.S. aid to Ukraine has been embezzled. Former Polish deputy minister Piotr Kulpa has alleged, "US aid programs are a mechanism to 'write off large sums of money that finance shady systems under the Democratic Party's control.'" If that's true, then the DNC has profited handsomely from the U.S. support of Ukraine. How buddy-buddy are pResident Biden and the DNC right now? He's still wearing the tire marks from where their bus ran over him. He's always been an angry, spiteful little man, he's got a big axe to grind and this might be his way of getting some of his own back.

Why Hunter's Pardon Could Expand Accountability for Biden Family. In fact, President Joe Biden's blanket pardon of son Hunter Biden could provide more leverage for Congress to investigate other Biden family members, said Mike Davis, founder of the Article III Project, a conservative legal group. "President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter means that Hunter can no longer invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination," Davis, Republicans' former chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told The Daily Signal in a telephone interview Monday. Hunter Biden was convicted earlier this year on gun and tax charges, for which he faced a maximum of 17 and 25 years in prison, respectively. The president's pardon Sunday night covered any crimes his son "has committed or may have committed or taken part in from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024." "The House Republicans should subpoena Hunter Biden now. This is a much bigger issue than hookers and blow," Davis added, using slang for the drug cocaine. "This is about the president of the United States being compromised, with $23 million going to what seems like every member of the Biden family[.]"

The Lies of Joe Biden and his Lying Enablers. Biden essentially pardoned himself by exempting all of Hunter's crimes since 2014, in which Hunter had enriched the Biden crime family cartel due to 'the big guy's' opportune calls and appearances with foreign crooks. Joe knew that only a silenced Hunter would save the Biden syndicate after January 20, 2025. Certainly, he feared and remembered how reckless Hunter could be, even when "clean" — grifting donors as a "paintbrush in the mouth" artist to show his father-president that he was capable of bringing down the entire clan. Biden also knew of Hunter's laptop bitter references to the "Big Guy" and Mr. "Ten-percent," who grabbed Hunter's grifted money and free stuff, but never appreciated Hunter's dirty, bagman role that made them all rich. Recall Hunter's own lawyers at one point threatened to call in President Joe Biden and embarrass him by putting him on the stand to testify in Hunter's tax cheating case — a threat that prompted a scared DOJ to craft its original sweetheart deal. So, Biden was terrified of a loose-cannon, bigmouth Hunter.

Joe Biden, liar liar liar. On Sunday night, Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter for gun- and tax-related felonies - undoing both a jury verdict in Delaware and Hunter's own guilty plea in California. The pardon is extraordinary and dangerous, especially at a time when both parties are playing a game of chicken with the open politicization of law enforcement. More on that issue soon. But first it's vital to point out the hypocrisy not just in what Biden did but in how the media is covering it. Biden promised he would not pardon Hunter. Unequivocally. Without exception. To take just one example, in June, ABC News anchor David Muir asked Biden directly: "Have you ruled out a pardon for your son?" "Yes," Biden answered. Give Biden the benefit of the doubt for a moment. Assume he wasn't planning to pardon Hunter all along. Biden's still lying. He gives himself no wriggle room in his answer, presumably because he knew anything but a flat denial would hurt him politically.

Flashback: Adam Schiff said pardons in which the president is directly implicated could be an 'obstruction of justice'. As Adam Schiff said in 2018, we wouldn't want a president abusing the pardon power in order to "shield himself from liability" because such circumstances could very easily amount to an "obstruct[ion of] justice." Schiff made the comments on a CNN segment with Don Lemon shortly after he introduced legislation that would compel a president to hand over all the investigative files of any potential pardons in which the president is/was directly implicated.

Hunter Biden may be pardoned here, but he's committed crimes elsewhere. Many people are angry that because Joe Biden pardoned Hunter Biden, who engaged in a seemingly endless laundry list of manifestly illegal activity (illicit drugs, prostitution, lying on a gun application, laundering money to hide it from the IRS, underpaying his taxes, etc.), means Hunter will walk on all current and future federal convictions and charges. However, Anony Mee believes that justice may yet come for Hunter. The icing on the cake is that Joe Biden may have been too smart for his own good. For Joe, the pardon may prove to be a case of "hoist by his own petard." In an admirably concise tweet, Anony Mee points out that Hunter's wrongdoing wasn't limited to America. Instead, it took place in Ukraine. Indeed, that's what Trump's first impeachment was about — Burisma's and Hunter's corrupt conduct in Ukraine: [Tweet]

Biden claims he pardoned Hunter because he was targeted by DOJ, but... President Biden was adamant that his son "Hunter was treated differently" when he broke his public pledge and issued a rare sweeping pardon spanning almost 11 years for his troubled son late Sunday. But the 54-year-old is far from the only one to have been charged with similar firearm and tax evasion crimes. Several legal experts believe that he already received favorable treatment than others who have committed comparable transgressions.

White House ridiculous 'war politics' excuse for Hunter pardon is another strand of the Biden Inc. cover-up. Oh, the shamelessness of Karine Jean-Pierre: The White House press secretary on Monday defended President Biden's pardon of son Hunter as justified because of "how politically infected these cases were" — that "war politics infected the process and it led to a miscarriage of justice." What garbage. First off, KJP herself had insisted repeatedly and vehemently that Joe wouldn't pardon Hunter — even after the First Son was convicted. Is she claiming the "political infection" somehow popped up in the last two months? Second, all the prosecuting was done by the Biden Justice Department, yet she has not a word of blame for Attorney General Merrick Garland for failing to stop the "infection." Again, if the "war politics" were so powerful as to leave the AG helpless, that was true for all the long months that KJP was butter-won't-melt-in-her-mouth claiming the prez would respect the courts' rulings.

Special Counsel: Hunter Biden Was Not Selectively Prosecuted. President Joe Biden's claim that his son was selectively prosecuted was unfounded, special counsel David Weiss's office said in new filings on Dec. 2. "There has never been any evidence of vindictive or selective prosecution in this case," Weiss and other federal prosecutors told a federal judge in Delaware. In another filing, lodged in federal court in California, they wrote, "There was none and never has been any evidence of vindictive or selective prosecution in this case." The president on Dec. 1, when announcing a pardon for Hunter Biden, said that he was reversing his previous pledge not to do so because his son was "selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted." Weiss's office noted that a number of judges, including some appointed by the president, have previously rejected similar arguments from the president's son.

Addressing the Hunter Pardon. Some context for this claim is in order. Hunter isn't accused of being a sociopath. He isn't accused of murder or rape or felonious property destruction. Tax evasion on the order of $1.4 [million] commends incarceration upon conviction, but the illegal gun procurement would not typically result in incarceration for a first-time offender. And the most egregious crimes, for which Hunter should have been held responsible, have been slow-walked by the corrupt Special Counsel David Weiss so that the statute of limitations has passed. The father, Joe Biden, pardoned his son. Every empathetic father understands this. However, different standards apply to the President. The President should issue pardons for injustice (think J6 political prisoners) and to avoid unnecessary social turmoil (think President Ford's pardon of the disgraced Richard Nixon). For his own part, President Joe Biden committed yet another nefarious act with the pardon of Hunter Biden. For this, the President deserves widespread and lasting condemnation and criticism. His putrid legacy has been tarnished by himself yet more.

Hunter Biden's Pardon Is All About Protecting Joe Biden, Not His Son. President Biden is the one at the center of the influence-peddling and bribery schemes that Hunter ran while Biden was vice president. Joe, not Hunter, was the one being bribed. It was his influence, not Hunter's, that was being purchased by Ukrainian oligarchs and Chinese businessmen, both during and after Biden was vice president. There's no Biden family business without "the big guy." Focusing on Hunter's crimes, and his pardon, is a distraction from the far more serious crimes his father committed. Even Hunter's prosecution wasn't really about him or his misdeeds. The tax and gun charges were about protecting him from being indicted for more serious charges that would have implicated the president and forced him to answer questions about his involvement in Hunter's overseas business deals. That's why Special Counsel David Weiss never indicted the younger Biden for failing to register as a foreign agent, allowing the statute of limitations to expire on that and other serious crimes, and then trying to engineer a sweetheart plea deal that would have granted him blanket immunity — immunity he's now gotten from his father in the form of a pardon that covers a jaw-dropping eleven years. Why did Weiss do this? Because Hunter's real tax crimes stem from failing to disclose the tens of millions he and his family raked in from the Biden family's overseas influence-peddling operations in Ukraine and China.

Hunter Judge Blasts President For Making False Statements In Pardon. The California federal judge overseeing Hunter Biden's tax charges issued a scathing five-page ruling in response to President Joe Biden's pardon of his son, saying that the president justified his pardon with reasons that are false and offensive. Judge Mark C. Scarsi wrote Tuesday that the reasons listed in "the President's statement" for pardoning his son "stand in tension with the case record," and while the president has the power to pardon, "nowhere does the Constitution give the President the authority to rewrite history." "The President asserts that Mr. Biden 'was treated differently' from others 'who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions,' implying that Mr. Biden was among those individuals who untimely paid taxes due to addiction. But he is not... Mr. Biden admitted that he engaged in tax evasion after this period of addiction," the judge wrote.

What sort of legacy does Joe Biden have to 'tarnish'? It was clear to anyone with a brain that Biden was always going to pardon his son. No matter how many crimes Hunter committed, Joe always said he was the smartest man in the world and never did anything wrong. As he issued the pardon, they continue to lie that he had just decided to do it. He obviously knew he was going to do it long before the election, no matter how many times he said he wouldn't. Biden continually lied that he had no idea what his son was doing when he was taking him around the world, taking kickbacks from foreign countries, including our enemies. As the Republicans continually presented evidence of the kickbacks, the media and other Democrats continually regurgitated the lie that there was no evidence that Joe Biden had done anything wrong. It is clear that Joe Biden, whose mind is shot, did not write the language in this pardon. He didn't come up with the blanket pardon for ten years to cover the kickbacks. It looks to me as though Hunter's attorneys wrote the pardon to cover his crimes as a foreign agent and other crimes he may have committed. It is pathetic to give Hunter a blanket pardon.

It's time to reform the presidential pardon. The presidential pardon power is listed in the Constitution, so any modification would probably require a constitutional amendment. I believe in mercy, and I believe in redemption, but the current use of the presidential pardon is one more example of Washington insiders playing by one set of rules and the rest of the country having to fend for themselves. I don't believe that the pardon should be abandoned, but the following reforms could be enacted. [#1] The Congress, by a vote of two thirds in each chamber, could void any pardon. [#2] The president cannot pardon himself or any member of his immediate family. [#3] Any pardon should take place between the months of February and September, and Congress must be in session. This means that the president must risk paying a political price for any pardon he may propose. [#4] The president may present Congress with only one individual pardon each day. This would not only limit the number of pardons, but also prohibit presidents from changing criminal law completely by in effect changing the sentencing structures in place that they don't like for certain types of crimes. [#5] Also, the president may not pre-emptively pardon someone for something he may have done (the Hunter rule). Any pardon must be after the person has been tried, convicted, and sentenced.

The Editor says...
There's (at least) one thing wrong with Idea #1: The Democratic Party exists to protect and perpetuate itself. The Democrats would never veto a "Joe Biden" pardon, even if it was public knowledge that Biden himself didn't write the pardon and it wasn't his idea. Even if Biden later stated that he didn't remember signing any such pardon. Idea #2 would have to include the definition of "immediate family," or some future lying Democrat will stretch his family tree to suit his (or her) purposes. Idea #4 (February through September) and Idea #3 (one pardon per day), when combined, limit the number of individual pardons to 241, even if Congress is in session seven days a week. That means it would take more than a year just to pardon the January 6 political prisoners. The concept is good, but it needs some work.

Joe Biden's predictable pardon of Hunter cemented an already corrupt legacy. The horror at Biden's betrayal of his promise not to pardon Hunter recalls the story about the newspaper astrologer who was surprised when he was fired: If he was any good, he would have seen it coming. So it is with the Dems and media stenographers who are barking mad at Biden. Did they really believe his pledges not to pardon his son under any circumstances? Once he was convicted, a pardon was inevitable. How did they not see that coming? What will they do when he pardons his brother, Jim Biden? Claims that the Hunter pardon threatens Biden's legacy suggest the suckers actually believed the Hitler hysteria that Trump was a threat to all that is pure and good and that Biden was an honorable and honest man. Oh, please. The pardon doesn't threaten Biden's legacy. It cements it. He's been corrupt for decades, as the family influence-peddling scheme proved. Those who refused to consider the possibility that Joe personally profited from the estimated $20 million that foreign sources paid his son and brother didn't lack for evidence. They simply refused to see the evidence.

Jill Biden pushed President Biden to pardon disgraced son Hunter: report. First Lady Jill Biden may have convinced President Biden to pardon his disgraced son, Hunter Biden, according to a report. "Clearly there was pressure inside the family," Jeff Zeleny, CNN's chief national affairs correspondent, said during an appearance on the network Monday. "We were told really in recent weeks that Dr. Jill Biden — first lady Jill Biden — was very supportive of the president doing something like this," he added. Zeleny claims Biden, 82, "was not sure" about the pardon, suggesting that the 73-year-old first lady's push may have been the deciding factor.

Hunter Biden accused of stiffing LA landlord out of over $300,000 in rent after being pardoned by dad Joe. Hunter Biden allegedly stiffed two Venice landlords for a total of more than $380,000 in rent, sources close to the property owners claim. DailyMail.com revealed last year that Hunter owed Sweetgreen CEO and co-founder Jonathan Neman $80,000 in back rent after leaving his Venice rental property trashed, according to sources briefed on the dispute. And now Shaun Maguire, a partner at San Francisco investment giant Sequoia, has come forward claiming Hunter also owes him at least $300,000 after failing to pay rent 'for over a year' in 2019 and 2020.

From Hero to Hypocrite: Biden's Pardon of Hunter and the Shattered Promise of Justice. Biden's promise not to interfere in Hunter's prosecution was celebrated as an exemplary moment of transparency, a clear attempt to paint himself as the anti-Trump. Democrats lined up to praise Biden's respect for the rule of law, proclaiming that his refusal to pardon Hunter epitomized a commitment to fairness and justice. [...] Yet here we stand. The once-celebrated refusal to pardon has given way to an all-encompassing pardon for Hunter Biden, conveniently issued at what can only be described as the most opportune moment for the president. First, this past weekend represented the best time for Biden to pardon his son before Hunter's December 12, 2024 sentencing hearing on the three felony gun charges on which a jury convicted him in June. Second, reports from the White House indicate that Hunter told his father this weekend that he was planning to release a tell-all book because he needed the money and had nothing to lose, given his impending imprisonment. In response, a day later, Joe issued the pardon without consulting anyone else in the administration, much less the pardon advisory group he is supposed to talk to. It would seem Biden was buying his son's silence.

After Hunter's Pardon, It's Time To Prosecute The Rest Of The Biden Crime Family. The pardon is an unprecedented, corrupt trick that we all knew was coming no matter how brazen and how many times Biden and his media mouthpieces lied about it. Biden isn't just trying to protect Hunter, he's desperately trying to cover up the scam he's been running on the American people for the past decade. Hunter might have been the dumbest member of the Biden crime syndicate and the easiest to prosecute, but he's not the only one implicated in crimes against the United States. It's time for the incoming Department of Justice to prosecute everyone else who participated in the apparent scheme to trade government favors to foreign actors for money, diamonds, and fancy cars, starting with the "big guy" himself.

Special Counsel Rejects Hunter Biden's Pardon, Files Scathing Rebuke In Court Case. Last night Hunter Biden's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss his California tax fraud case after Joe Biden issued a blanket pardon absolving him of all crimes committed over a 10 year period. "The President's pardon moots Mr. Biden's pending and yet to occur sentencing and entry of judgment in this case and requires an automatic dismissal of the Indictment with prejudice," wrote Hunter's lawyer Abbe Lowell in the filing, adding that "this Court must dismiss the Indictment against Mr. Biden with prejudice and adjourn all future proceedings in this matter." Special Counsel David Weiss isn't having it. In a Monday response in opposition, Weiss argued that "The defendant's motion should be denied since there is no binding authority on this Court which requires dismissal." "As a matter of past-practice in this district, courts do not dismiss indictments when pardons are granted," Weiss wrote — citing cases involving Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Joe Arpaio and Ollie North, Above the Law reports.

Dems are saying FJB. We knew FJB would pardon Hunter, his bagman and son. Blood is thicker than water, but not as thick as someone having the dirt on you. Hunter had the receipts and put them on a laptop. The question was when the pardon would come because timing is everything in politics and comedy. Friday afternoons are great for burying bad news and the best Friday of the year is Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving when everybody is either sleeping off a turkey or slugging it out at Walmart over a $99 big screen TV. Weaves be a-flying on Aisle 12. FJB passed on that opportunity and chose the worst time of the week — Sunday afternoon, making sure the story would be on front pages and morning talk shows on Monday to set the tone for the week. When Democrats threw him under the bus, they awoke the demented kraken. First, he sabotaged Kamala by endorsing her. Then he put on a MAGA hat. Now this.

Flacks, hacks, & quacks. President Biden's comprehensive pardon of Hunter for crimes he may have committed since 2014 presents as a barking dog of a clue to the "work" of the Biden crime family. It also presents as a barking dog of a clue to the "work" of the flacks, hacks, and quacks who work us over every day. Somewhere along the way they lost their sense of shame. Shamelessness is a bona fide occupational requirement.

The Second Anti-Trump Insurrection Is Now Underway. Liberals love minority women, but they hate losers — and after blowing the national election, Harris is history. She failed them, and they'll never forgive her for it. So who [...] is running our country right now? Since the election, there's been a series of "mad" moves from the Biden White House. From recklessly expanding America's involvement in the Russian-Ukrainian War to "Trump-proofing" Biden's legacy, the White House is attempting to box in the incoming Trump administration, deepening our foreign entanglements, whether the American people like it or not. At least, someone in the White House is. It's not Kamala Harris because she's not there. And it's not Joe Biden because he's mentally gone. Which means an unelected, unaccountable federal employee is risking World War III on his or her own.

Joe Biden pulls trigger on pardoning son Hunter, after saying countless times he would not. Despite pledging he would not do so, Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter on Sunday after the president's son was convicted in two separate federal cases earlier this year. "Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter," Biden wrote in a statement. "From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department's decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted."

Joe Biden Tries To Justify Hunter Pardon By Peddling Another Round Of Lies. On Sunday, President Joe Biden granted his son Hunter a "full and unconditional pardon." For someone who's covered the Biden family corruption scandal since the censorship-industrial complex falsely portrayed Hunter's laptop from hell as Russian disinformation, my reactions are several and sundry. [#1] Joe Biden Is a Lying Liar: First up was imbibing in the hilarity of Joe Biden, once again, proving he lies with as much ease as he has in insulting Republicans. In June, the president repeatedly vowed not to pardon his son, including during a joint news conference with the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. As the time, the elder Biden stated: "I'm not gonna do anything. I said I abide by the jury — decision. I will do that. And I will not pardon him." President Biden's "no pardon" position remained firm as recently as last month, when the issue arose during a press conference. "We've been asked that question multiple times and our answer stands — which is no," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters in early November. [...] There's no way Hunter would have pled guilty to the tax felonies if he didn't know the Big Guy would pardon him.

After Hunter's Pardon, It's Time To Prosecute The Rest Of The Biden Crime Family. Joe Biden, who spent his vice presidency as the "big guy" behind his son Hunter's foreign influence-peddling exploits and skated into the presidency because media and tech gatekeepers covered up news of the family pay-for-play business, issued a blanket pardon to Hunter for "offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024." The pardon doesn't just apply to the (comparatively) minor crimes the Special Counsel David Weiss reluctantly prosecuted, but the host of potential crimes, from money laundering to bribery to FARA violations, for which Hunter hasn't been prosecuted. The pardon is an unprecedented, corrupt trick that we all knew was coming no matter how brazen and how many times Biden and his media mouthpieces lied about it. Biden isn't just trying to protect Hunter, he's desperately trying to cover up the scam he's been running on the American people for the past decade.

On pardons, justice, and privilege. The pardon by President Biden of his son Hunter is likely to be met with cynicism and even contempt. The pardon extends not only to the gun and tax offenses to which the younger Biden had pled guilty but also to any crimes that he "committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024." President Biden should not expect the benefit of the doubt when the public entertains the suspicion that the pardon resulted from corruption and the use of a constitutional power as a personal privilege rather than sound executive governance. There is no question that President Biden had the constitutional authority to pardon his son. Granting a pardon for unspecified offenses, however, would seem to violate the spirit of the pardon power and consequently legitimize suspicions of improper motives.

Jonathan Turley Rips Biden's Pardon of His Son to Shreds. George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley has now weighed in on the sweeping pardon that Joe Biden just gave his son on Sunday. It not only covers the crimes for which he was convicted or to which he pled guilty, but it also covers any other possible crimes that may have occurred over 11 years from Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec. 1, 2024. Turley just eviscerated Biden when he was asked about it by Fox News and the "bad precedent" that Biden could be setting. [Tweet] Turley pointed out how this brings to mind the actions of Bill Clinton, who pardoned his brother. "It also shows a degree of contempt for the American people," Turley observed. Biden "didn't just simply lie about not ever speaking to his son's business associates, of never being in meetings with them. He lied repeatedly to the American people when he was a candidate for reelection."

Biden Pardons Hunter on All Charges and Anything Else He Might Have Committed Since 2014. President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter despite the White House saying over and over he would not do it. The pardon includes charges Hunter faced or might have faced from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024. Yes, ten years. Absolute insanity. That means anything else that pops up in that time period doesn't count. Hunter cannot face any charges. [Tweet] Hunter pleaded guilty to tax evasion. He was going to face sentencing on December 16 for lying on a federal form by saying he was not using drugs or addicted to drugs when trying to buy a gun.

By Pardoning Hunter, Joe Biden Covers Up His Own Influence-Peddling Crimes. President Joe Biden allowed himself to cover up his own apparent role in his son Hunter's influence peddling by issuing a pardon Sunday evening that extended back through 2014, including Hunter's corrupt role in Ukraine. While President Biden focused on his son's conviction for gun crimes, and his son responded with a statement about addiction, the reality is that the pardon covers more serious conduct: selling U.S. foreign policy for monetary gain. The pardon covers actions between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024. Hunter Biden's appointment to the board of the corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma was announced in May 2014. Reporters and State Department staff immediately flagged the appointment as a potential conflict of interest, given that then-Vice President Joe Biden was in charge of the Obama-Biden administration's foreign policy in Ukraine (which is likely why Hunter was appointed).

Biden Lied to ABC News in June: Said He Had 'Ruled Out' Hunter Pardon. President Joe Biden lied for years about whether he would pardon his son, Hunter Biden, for his crimes — even telling David Muir of ABC News in an exclusive interview in Normandy, France, in June that he had "ruled out" a pardon. [...] Hunter Biden was ultimately found guilty on three gun charges, and later pleaded guilty to tax violations as well. The White House continued to claim, for months, that the president had no intention of pardoning his son. For Democrats, and for a sympathetic media, that promise was evidence that Biden had not politicized the justice system, despite the fact that it was pursuing Donald Trump and his supporters while protecting Hunter Biden for years.

The Fumes of the 2024 Election. [Scroll down] Joe Biden has now descended into utter incoherence without even the past lies that he is fit as a fiddle, strong as an ox — from wandering into the jungle to mumbling at the podium in a bizarre untranslated language unknown to man. Can he finish the next 60 days, as the world is on the way to a veritable DefCon 1? Unhinged Harris supporters talk of a 2-month, 25-Amendment imposed President Harris, an insane idea except not so insane when one listens and watches the current state of Joe Biden.

Joe Biden Makes History as First President to Pardon His Criminal Son. President Joe Biden spent his final days in office rolling out a full and complete pardon of his criminal son, Hunter Biden. "I will not pardon him," Joe Biden said in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.

President Biden pardons son Hunter, breaking promise as he leaves office. President Joe Biden on Sunday night pardoned his son Hunter on gun and tax charges, breaking a promise he had made to voters. The clemency was announced by the White House, which included a statement from the 46th president. "Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter," Biden wrote in a statement. "From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department's decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted." [...] The clemency was a major about-face. The White House had repeatedly said Biden would not pardon his son. And the president answered "yes," when ABC News asked if he would rule out pardoning his son.

This was predicted by me — at least twice. The news tonight is that Worst President Ever (hereinafter "WPE") has pardoned his son. You know the one — the crack-smoking, drug-addicted, whore-mongering, influence-peddling, gun-toting, tax-evading, lie-teller. After stating time and again — but that was in the past, so it doesn't count — that he wouldn't, WPE proved himself to be as big a liar as the miscreant son. Don't say I didn't warn you. I explicitly warned that WPE would do this, but for obvious reasons he would wait till after the election.

Joe Biden Has Pardoned Hunter Biden, Administration Lied to Everyone for Years. In news that will surprise no one but the imbeciles in the mainstream press, Joe Biden is getting set to announce a pardon for his degenerate son. In September, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to charges of unpaid taxes and tax evasion, putting him at risk of spending up to 17 years in a federal prison. That came after a jury found him guilty of separate gun charges in June. For years, the White House insisted that President Joe Biden would not pardon his son. [Tweet] That turned out to be a blatant lie. On Sunday evening, following a 52-page public plea from Hunter Biden himself, Joe Biden released a statement announcing he had issued a pardon. In it, he claimed that he "kept his word" while the Department of Justice "selectively" targeted his son.

The Editor says...
Joe Biden is a senile old man. He almost certainly is not the author of Hunter Biden's pardon, or the official announcement of it, and may not have known he was signing a pardon when somebody placed it in front of him and said, "Sign this."

Joe Biden Pardons Hunter Biden. Outgoing President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, just weeks before he leaves office, after initially promising not to do so. [...] Hunter Biden was convicted in two separate federal cases earlier this year, pleading guilty to three firearm offenses and a felony tax charge. Regarding the firearm case, the president's corrupt son was caught making false statements while purchasing a gun, providing inaccurate information that is required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer, and illegally possessing a firearm while being addicted to a controlled substance. These charges highlight serious lapses in legal accountability that shouldn't be overlooked. Hunter Biden then pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges after failing to pay federal income taxes from over $1.5 million in income in 2017 and 2018. He earned this money through shady overseas business dealings. Over the summer, Biden told the press that he would not pardon his son, claiming he would "abide by the jury's decision."

Look on the bright side: At least now we can find out who left a bag of cocaine in the White House, the ownership of which has completely baffled the FBI and Secret Service until now. If it happened in the last ten years, let's blame Hunter!

Biden accused of extending Hunter's pardon to cover his alleged corruption at Burisma in 2014. Critics of Joe Biden's shock pardon of his son Hunter have noted a key detail that connects the reprieve to the younger Biden's time on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma. The bombshell U-turn decision to grant Hunter a pardon comes just weeks after The White House denied the president would make the drastic move in the final months of his lame duck presidency. The document grants a full and unconditional pardon for Hunter's potential crimes committed 'from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.' This has led many to theorize that there is something lurking underneath the pardon which is meant to acquit Hunter Biden of charges that came to light in 2018.

Some of These Reactions to Hunter Biden's Pardon Are Pure Gold. Outgoing President Joe Biden decided to pardon his son, Hunter. The crack-cocaine-addicted influence peddler was given a massive blanket pardon — he is now forgiven of any crime he committed between 2014 and 2024. [...] Two things happened with this pardon: Democrats can't talk about gun control anymore, and this is a classic example of what happens when one side tries to seize on and monopolize a moral superiority. No American voter expects their leaders or elected officials to be ethical leaders. They understand they'll likely end up as corrupt snakes. Still, it's the cover-up and, in this instance, the blatant attempt to shove this pardon in our faces despite Hunter's many crimes that are remarkable but unsurprising. [...] Now, a horde of liberal commentators and reporters must eat crow after they slobbered over Biden's initial declaration that he wouldn't pardon his son. It's the moral high ground, the nauseating self-righteousness that infests every liberal. Former CNN reporter John Harwood had a hall-of-fame-worthy take, followed by Mr. Biden. What ever happened to "no one is above the law?" That's self-explanatory.

We always knew Joe Biden would pardon troubled son Hunter. We always knew Joe Biden would pardon his troubled son Hunter, no matter how many times he promised he wouldn't. So it is fitting that one of the final acts of this mendacious president before leaving office was to break yet another promise to the American people. Thus on Sunday night, the president issued a statement from the White House declaring that he had just signed a "Full and Unconditional Pardon" for Robert Hunter Biden, 54. The pardon Joe vowed he would never give comes just days before Hunter was due to be sentenced over a felony gun conviction in Delaware in June and California felony tax fraud charges in September to which he pleaded guilty on the first day of trial.

Catherine Herridge Nails Biden on Big Problem in Hunter's Pardon As IRS Whistleblowers Speak Out. Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter on Sunday not only for the crimes he was convicted of or pled guilty to — he gave him a blanket pardon for any possible crimes for 11 years from Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec. 1, 2014. The IRS whistleblowers involved in his case have issued a statement skewering Joe Biden's pardon and calling out what they have been put through and the "special privilege of the powerful." [Tweet] "No amount of lies or spin can hide the simple truth that the Justice Department nearly let the President's son off the hook for multiple felonies. We did our duty, told the truth, and followed the law. Anyone reading the President's excuses now should remember that Hunter Biden admitted to his tax crimes in federal court, that Hunter Biden's attorneys have targeted us for our lawful whistleblower disclosures, and that we are suing one of those attorneys for smearing us with false accusations. President Biden has the power to put his thumb on the scales of justice for his son, but at least he had to do it with a pardon explicitly for all the world to see rather than his political appointees doing it secretly behind the scenes. Either way it is a sad day for law abiding taxpayers to witness this special privilege for the powerful." They put everything on the line to tell the truth and were allegedly persecuted for it. Meanwhile, Hunter takes a walk.

Tom Homan, Greg Abbott Serve Thanksgiving Meal to Troops While Biden Vacations In Swanky Nantucket. While outgoing President Joe Biden spends the holiday week strolling around in the land of woke and elites, President-elect Donald Trump's new border Czar, Tom Homan, and Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) are serving American troops a Thanksgiving dinner. [Multiple tweets] Meanwhile, lame-duck Biden and outgoing First Lady Jill Biden headed to billionaire David Rubenstein's $34 million Nantucket compound for the consecutive fourth year to celebrate the holiday. [Tweet with video clip] The Biden family, including the president's just as corrupt son, Hunter Biden, touched down at the Nantucket Memorial Airport after arriving via private jet before making their way to the 14-acre property. Two-time felon Hunter Biden awaits confirmation on whether his father will pardon him before he leaves office. The New York Post pointed out that the Biden family is unlikely to pay to stay at the multi-million dollar compound, which critics say is not a good look for the president.

Congress Dithers While Vlad and Joe Play Nuclear Chicken. Is President Joe Biden out to start a war? Or are his shadow warmongers Anthony Blinken and Jake Sullivan responsible? War can potentially explode regardless of who pulled the pin on the grenade. [...] Unfortunately, Trump cannot negotiate anything until January 20. All communications from Trump and his entire team are likely being monitored by the same agencies that spied on his 2016 transition, looking for any opportunity to invoke the Logan Act as an excuse not to certify his election.

Biden gets ready to vacay in Nantucket, Kamala holidays in Hawaii — who's running the country? There are still two months left in Joe Biden's and Kamala Harris's presidency. And for Joe, having spent half his presidency on vacation, what's another vacay to cap it off? [...] Sure, Kamala Harris probably needs some rest after the election, and unverified rumors of marital turmoil. But so does Trump. Trump got his rest and is at work. But Biden and Harris are all about salving themselves, they always have been, even as the pair of them made it a campaign cornerstone that Trump was "in it for himself." Trump is working. Biden and Harris have kicked back. They still have two months left in their failed presidency and odds are, these won't be their last vacations.

Biden's Missile Crisis. When President Biden approved the use of supersonic Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to strike Russia, he placed in jeopardy the national security of the United States, the safety of our troops abroad and violated the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, which provides that only Congress can declare war. Biden has made a decision to insert the U.S. into an unambiguous, escalatory phase, using the territory of Ukraine to attack Russia directly with missiles which can reach 190 miles deep. This is an illegal act by the President which puts our nation on a path to war with Russia. The American people voted for Trump to end the wars. Biden apparently wants to end the world.

'Catholic' Biden Awards Medal to Baby Killer-in-Chief. As another proof of the fact that Joe Biden is less Catholic than a steak on a Lenten Friday, the Meanderer-in-Chief just awarded the Medal of Freedom to a former president of abortion giant Planned Parenthood. Ah, for the days when American presidents believed in our founding principle of the right to life. Abortions kill unborn babies by dismemberment, head crushing, and other unspeakably horrific methods. They also have numerous negative effects on women's mental and physical health. Yet a woman who oversaw Planned Parenthood during a period when it murdered almost 4 million babies in cruel, tortuous ways has just been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by "Catholic" Joe Biden. Biden's X account posted, "Today, I had the honor of awarding Cecile Richards the Presidential Medal of Freedom. With absolute courage, she fearlessly leads us forward to be the America we say we are — a nation of freedom." Democrats are disgusting in how they apply such sacred words as freedom to anti-American evils such as abortion.

Joe Biden obviously did not write that tweet himself, and may not even know that it has been posted. Joe Biden had to drop out of the presidential race months ago because he's too senile to do his job and couldn't form a complete sentence, and surely he hasn't improved since then. Somebody else (or a committee) is speaking for the alleged President, and strictly speaking, they are impersonating Joe Biden, which is illegal.

Obama's Ukraine Cover Up. [Scroll down] In April 2014, UK prosecutors seized $23.5 million in assets owned by Zlochevsky that were held at a London bank, alleging that Zlochevsky had engaged in criminal conduct in Ukraine. It was at this same time that Burisma appointed Biden's son, Hunter, and his close associate, Devin Archer to its board of directors. On April 21, 2014, Joe Biden traveled to Ukraine, offering not only his political support, but also $50 million in aid for Ukraine's shaky new government. During Joe's Ukraine visit, on April 22, it was announced that Archer had suddenly joined the board of Burisma. Hunter had also joined Burisma's board that same month, but curiously Burisma didn't announce Hunter's appointment until May 12, 2014 — after his father's visit to Ukraine had concluded. Many have portrayed Hunter's involvement as little more than a means for the Biden family to extract hefty board fees from Burisma for association with the Biden name. While there is likely a large amount of truth to this, we also suspect something bigger may have been at play — the effective capture of Ukraine's natural gas assets.

Anybody Notice That Nobody Is In Charge? Is the world careening toward World War III, or is the green light to Ukraine from the Biden Administration to use US weapons to strike deeper into Russia simply political maneuvering that presents no threat of nuclear escalation? [Advertisement] The US also approved the use of land mines in Ukraine for the first time. A Chinese cargo ship has been boarded by the Danish Navy after it is suspected to have cut two vital communications cables in the Baltic. The war in the Middle East continues, and Israel is now taking damage from rockets in its territory. [Tweet] In the midst of all the chaos and increasing threats, Biden and Harris are absent. The president was wandering around the Amazon rainforest, avoiding reporters, and Kamala Harris flew off for a vacation to Hawaii. [Tweet with video clip]

Democrats Must Remove President Biden Now. Today, the world is likely closer to nuclear war than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. In its closing days, the Biden Administration is stumbling our nation into a potential nuclear war with Russia. If you have not been paying attention for the past two days, you need to know the basic facts. Then, let me offer what I believe needs to happen, and quickly. Just before midnight Sunday night, AP reported "Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied missiles to strike deeper inside Russia, easing limitations on the longer range weapons...." The long-range, supersonic, ballistic missiles being unleashed on Russia most likely are ATACMs, standing for Army Tactical Missile System. These weapons were developed for offensive — not defensive — purposes. The configuration of the specific ATACMs sent to Ukraine is unknown, but they could have a range of from 100 to 190 or more miles.

Biden's venal and dangerous exit gambit. The talking heads, nattering nabobs, and media wizards wondered why Biden was all smiles when he met with Trump. Joe Rogan opined that the smile was because Biden secretly voted for Trump. No, Joe. Biden was smiling gleefully because as he met with Trump, his dripping-toothed, foul-breath toadies were busy authorizing Ukraine's President Volodymr Zelensky to launch U.S. missiles into Russia, a dangerous move that prompt retaliation here, and could ultimately unbalance power and destabilize the world. Now why would a man on his way out of the White House after a bitter humiliation at the hands of his own party want to make such a drastic and dangerous move? The answer is obvious to anyone who follow the Democrat party's slash-and-burn tactics against all who dare to nay-say his agenda. Joe and the party abhor Donald Trump so much they are willing to usher in a possible war out of sheer pique just to FUBAR Trump's second presidency.

Beating the 'Committee'. [Scroll down] Rather than a worthwhile candidate, the party had chosen Joe Biden (backstabbing Bernie Sanders in the process), a man known to be suffering from cognitive decline, presumably on the grounds that he'd be easily managed. Unfortunately, Biden was personally belligerent, stubborn, and with an overblown sense of his own toughness. The issue came to a head earlier this year when Biden's dementia became undeniable at the exact point that the presidential election was heating up. A debate was "arranged" with Donald Trump in which Biden's shortcomings were in full view.

Restoring Deterrence Will Prevent Endless Wars. An inept Biden administration has utterly destroyed U.S. deterrence abroad through both actual and symbolic disasters: the Chinese dressing down of U.S. diplomats in Anchorage; the humiliating skedaddle from Afghanistan; the brazen flight of a Chinese spy balloon across the U.S.; the invasion of Ukraine by Russia; the October 7, 2023 massacre of 1200 Israelis; the serial Houthi attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea; the visible restraint of Israeli from fully replying to Iranian missile attacks on its homeland; and renewed bellicosity on the part of both North Korea and China toward American allies such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Of course, a second-term Trump must radically reform the Pentagon and beef up the military while warning enemies of the consequences to follow from any unwise aggression. But if opponents believe such admonitions remain only vocal threats, then empty verbiage surely will erode deterrence further — such as Joe Biden's serial and empty braggadocio, "Don't!"

The Deep State War Against Donald Trump Begins. Furthermore, one of the biggest threats to the CIA and the intelligence agencies is Trump's unyielding determination to declassify documents that will jeopardize many agencies' existence, including the DOJ, FBI, DHS, CIA, and NSA. The documents released will reveal many hidden intelligence agency conspiracies, including the effort to hide the Hunter laptop story from damaging Biden's chance of victory in 2020, in particular, the statement by more than 50 former intelligence agents that the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation. Exploring intelligence agency misdeeds and failures back to the 2012 Benghazi terror attack would be a horror show for scores of top intelligence agency officials, as well as Obama and Biden administration senior officials.

Who's Driving the Bus? Who's driving the bus? Not this guy. [...] We know that somebody else is running the country. It certainly hasn't been Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. I think conventional wisdom believes it to be a cabal made up of the Obamas, Senate Majority Leader (for now) Chuck Schumer (D-NY), former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett...and whomever else they have surrounded themselves with. Speculation maybe, but who else in Washington has as much power as they do? The lobbies?

Killing Kakistocracy. It's a head-scratcher, really — how do these individuals manage to fail their way upward and claim the most powerful seats in government? If you've been keeping up with current events, it's hard not to conclude that the United States is stumbling into a kakistocracy. Case in point is a president, an "elderly man with a poor memory," whose cognitive issues and frail health allowed him to dodge legal scrutiny under the guise of public sympathy. Joe Biden was never known as the "sharpest knife in the drawer," but his current level of performance became so glaringly destitute that he required strong "encouragement" to abandon his re-election ambitions. And yet, the problem of obvious ineffectiveness isn't just a "Joe thing." Glancing at the Cabinet and other key positions of this administration, does anyone inspire confidence or stand out as the poster child of competence? Anyone?

Hunter Biden overheard moaning about '$18M' in legal bills. Hunter Biden has apparently found some popularity as a Hollywood party guest ahead of his sentencing next month in two cases. Spies said that the convicted first son, 54, was at a party in Los Angeles last week grousing about his mounting legal bills and his infamous Ukraine scandal. Said an insider of the A-list gathering: "Hunter Biden was trying to explain his history and problems to guests at a party in LA." The source said Hunter was telling guests that, "'I have $18 million in legal bills, and... my cases hanging over my head.' He also talked a lot about his Ukraine and Russia connections saying, 'all these stories were set-ups.'"

A reminder of Kamala Harris's primrose path to the Democrat nomination. [Scroll down] It was time to replace Biden. If they didn't want a complete puppet, they would have held a proper primary where all Democrats would have been invited. Instead, they prematurely subjected Biden to a national debate where he crashed on the runway before taking off. [Video clip] Biden was threatened and coerced to step aside. The humiliating, ruthless, and cold-blooded manner in which Biden was dethroned also served as a warning to everyone, especially Harris — that no matter who they are and which office they held, the establishment runs the show. This is how Kamala Harris got here. This is a plot device employed in pastiche mystery novels. The lord of the manor who is the murderer influences the police to assign the investigation to a bumbling detective to protect himself. It was an effective but cynical ploy by the establishment to implement their agenda — to accumulate power and enrich cronies. It is well known that the establishment via the CIA rigs elections in third-world countries and installs their puppets that do their bidding. This is the first time this has been done in the U.S. with such blatancy.

Harris would be as much a figurehead as Biden — and we'd be ruled by the swamp. We're seeing a lot of fuss and bother over the 2024 presidential election. But do we even need a president? I ask because we don't have one now. And we haven't had one for all practical purposes for something between a few months and three years. [...] Joe Biden may be capable of lobbing insults at half the country, but he certainly isn't running things. His dementia became impossible to hide, even with the help of an eagerly cooperative media, by June of this year, and was in fact obvious to anyone who cared to notice well before that. He's been a figurehead for a long time. Kamala Harris isn't running things, either. The vice presidency is not an executive position. All the executive power the Constitution grants is lodged in the president; the veep isn't a co-pilot or second-in-command or junior president, but merely a backup. And the only way to deploy that backup is for the president to die or resign. So who's running things now? Good question. During Biden's term, we've heard rumors that Biden's wife Dr. Jill Biden, various named and unnamed staffers, or assorted Obama administration operatives were actually calling the shots.

Biden did her in. [Scroll down] Norah O'Donnell of CBS scolded Americans, saying, "Trump was in North Carolina earlier, and tonight, he is also in Wisconsin. He landed in Green Bay just a short time ago and then pulled this campaign stunt, speaking to reporters from a garbage truck, proof that he and his supporters are giving no grace to a gaffe by President Biden where he, in his explanation, inadvertently called Trump supporters garbage." On Monday, the media was outraged that a comic would poke fun at Puerto Rico's landfill problem. They said calling it a floating island of garbage is racist and demanded Trump apologize for the only quote the media used in a four-hour rally by dozens of speakers at Madison Square Garden. Now the media is DEMANDING GRACE for President Biden calling half the nation garbage. It was inadvertent, right? Biden knew exactly what he was doing. He may be dumb but he is shrewd. Need I remind readers that he is undefeated in 50 years? So he knew what he was doing and he will not apologize. Readers know exactly why he did it.

Kamala is in the Biden Laptop. Last week was the 4 year anniversary of the Biden Laptop expose by the New York Post. We have since published the most complete dossier on the contents of the abandoned device, and the American first family is trying to shut down our group with egregious & expensive lawfare because of that comprehensive dossier. [...] [W]e described the 128k emails on the Biden Laptop as "a modern Rosetta Stone of white and blue collar crime under the patina of 'the Delaware Way.' [...] That's why the scandal just "won't go away." It will not go away for multiple reasons — number one, because Marco Polo exists, but (more importantly) because the emails reveal the true (and oftentimes sinister or criminal) actions & motivations of dozens of powerful people beyond the Biden Family. This cabal, made up of Republicans and Democrats, continues to run the American government. As just one example: the current Secretary of State (who spearheaded the "51 former spooks" letter & committed perjury to the U.S. Senate) & his staffer wife are implicated by the email database, and you can surmise that they will both be in the American executive branch should Kamala get pushed over the finish line.

Biden in Delaware, Harris at Beyoncé Concert amid Israeli Strikes on Iran: 'Who Is in the White House?'. As Israel engages in targeted military action against Iran, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are facing backlash for prioritizing personal engagements — Biden's weekend trip to Delaware and Harris's Texas rally featuring Beyoncé — amid growing concerns that a lack of U.S. leadership at such a crucial moment could further destabilize the Middle East. Israel's current offensive actions against Iranian military sites have triggered high alert across the region, yet President Biden and Vice President Harris have remained engaged with personal and campaign-related activities, raising concerns about the administration's handling of an escalating crisis.

The Best Laid Schemes of the Ruling Class Have Turned to Ashes. Biden and his campaign were unable to offer any coherent solutions to the issues plaguing the country while Trump, pointing to the success of his four years in office could and did repeatedly. By June of 2024 Trump was leading Biden in virtually every poll. As Trump surged, desperation set in, and Biden was essentially told he had to debate Trump. It was an unmitigated disaster for Biden and the ruling elites. Convinced that Trump could easily win in November, they forced Biden to drop out of the campaign. Whether it was revenge for the de facto coup or doing what he was instructed, Biden publicly endorsed Kamala Harris on his way out the door. Thanks to decades of worshipping at the altar of tribalism and DEI, this public endorsement by Biden ensured Kamala's nomination. The party hierarchy could not summarily reject her. The Democrats and their ruling class allies were stuck with an unaccomplished, vapid, fatuous, and Marxist-indoctrinated candidate.

The Harris Health Report: A Major Own Goal. We must remember that on paper Joe Biden is still President. A few months back, the world saw Biden fumble and bumble on the debate stage with President Donald Trump. The Democrats desperately wanted to force Biden out of the Presidential race and this debate that was rather early in the race was a perfect setting for global humiliation. But despite him being non compos mentos and declared unfit to be the candidate for President, Joe Biden still remains President. This should be a major concern for voters. [...] If Harris is such a stickler for fitness reports she must compel her 'boss' to release his fitness report. The GOP and the Trump campaign must demand that Biden release his health records. They must insist that Dr. Ronny Jackson be part of the team that subjects Biden to a health checkup. Is focusing on Biden, as many, including Republicans and Trump suppoerts have suggested, focusing on the past? Is it wiser to remain focused on Harris instead? The mainstream media is totally focused on Harris, but placing the spotlight on Biden's health is important. It reminds everyone about the coverup that the Democrats, including Harris, engaged in.

Should we wake the president? President Biden suffers from serious cognitive decline. The decline continues. [...] Everyone sees it. Everyone knows it. It's almost unbelievable. In the information age, Woodrow Wilson lives! When the bottom fell out of Biden's public support this past summer, the Democrats shoved him aside in favor of Kamala Harris. Biden had already secured the votes necessary to secure the party's renomination, but he had to go. Biden's candidacy posed a threat to the Democrats' phony baloney jobs. Biden's public appearances are tailored to his disability. His public schedule is fashioned to accommodate his decline. Snoozing at Rehoboth Beach fills an absurdly large hole in his life. The administration and White House staff have lied about his condition. His staff continues to lie about it.

4 Years After The Biden Laptop Coverup, Media Election Interference Is Worse Than Ever. Four years ago this week, the corporate press helped airlift Joe Biden to the White House by blacking out coverage of his international pay-for-play scandal, after the New York Post discovered evidence of the scandal on an abandoned Biden laptop. The press reaction ranged from refusing entirely to cover the story because it was a "waste of time" to only covering it insofar as outlets could cast doubt on its legitimacy. After the election, polling would show that 1 in 6 Biden voters would have changed their vote had they known about some of the stories suppressed by the media, including the Hunter Biden laptop story. It was the most infamous, though not the only, instance of journalists interfering to swing the 2020 election for the Democrats by stifling inconvenient reporting and propagating nonsense about Donald Trump, Biden's Republican opponent. (Biden got a very minor taste of the media's wrath this summer, when the powers that be decided he was no longer an expedient means to Democrat victory, and he didn't last a month.)

Nobody Fights for a World Economic Forum Flag. One of Barack Obama's first initiatives as president was to undertake an "apology tour" around the world so that he could rub salt in old wounds and provide America's enemies with planeloads of rhetorical ammunition (and pallets of cash). In deriding President Trump's MAGA movement, Joe Biden has repeatedly insisted that America was never that great and never lived up to its promise. Globalist mosquito John Kerry flies around the world to praise the virtues of one-world government and bemoan America's stubborn constitutional safeguards for individual rights such as free speech. Having bought in to the gospel of Howard Zinn, those who hold the reins of power in Washington, D.C. are some of the most anti-American zealots on the planet! That contradiction has produced this odd historical moment, in which people who largely dislike America run the U.S. government and people who love America largely despise the U.S. government.

Do the Democrat Elites WANT Kamala to Lose? [Scroll down] The case for Joe Biden wanting Kamala to lose is most compelling. Harris, after all, helped push him out of the campaign, sidelined him, and made him look like a weak fool. It was obvious that Biden didn't want to budge — he said so often and loudly enough — and it was similarly obvious that he resented being pushed out. Many people speculated at the time that Biden's endorsement of Harris hours after the obviously written-for-him letter bowing out of the race was a big screw-you to the Democratic Party. Harris was thought to be a terrible candidate without a chance of winning, and Biden put our his endorsement separate from the statement pulling out of the race, and was likely not filtered by an establishment which had been pushing for an open process. Part of the deal in getting Biden out of the race was that there would be no criticism of Biden — at&Nbsp;all — and that he would be presented as a George Washington figure putting country above ambition. And Biden is enforcing the deal — every time anybody mentions Harris separating herself from Biden, out he pops with a bear hug to draw her back in.

Hunter Biden 'laptop from hell' scandal turns 4. Hunter Biden's scandalous laptop — falsely dismissed as Russian disinformation — became part of the American lexicon four years ago today, on October 14, 2020, kicking off a years-long scandal with big tech, corporate media and the intelligence community. "I think that virtually every single mainstream outlet disgraced themselves," former New York Post deputy politics editor Emma-Jo Morris told Fox News Digital. While at the New York Post, Morris first reported on Hunter Biden's personal computer, which eventually was dubbed the "laptop from hell" by the paper's staffers. The infamous laptop was filled with shocking videos and photos of drug use, lewd sex acts, and sensitive business communications. It was exposed by the Post only a few weeks before then-candidate Joe Biden was set to square off against then-President Trump.

FBI's role in Hunter Biden laptop scandal is worse than you know. Hunter Biden's infamous "laptop from hell" may be the most damning trove of evidence tying the sitting (if sleeping) president of the United States to the over $27 million that his family raked in by peddling his political influence to agents of corrupt and anti-American regimes — in particular, the communist regime of Xi Jinping in China. Still, the enduring relevance of the laptop is not as a Biden story, but as a story of the political corruption of the government's law-enforcement and intelligence apparatus — pillars of our rule of law and our national security. Think about this: The FBI took possession of the laptop in December 2019, and quickly authenticated it — not hard to do because there was a mountain of publicly available information for purposes of corroborating the data, which was incontestably Hunter Biden's.

Liberals Call on Biden to Commit Unconstitutional Acts in his Final Days. With the end of the Biden Administration in sight, liberal pundits seem to be striving to prove that the only difference between a lawbreaker and a law-abiding citizen is the ability to get away with the crime. Popular figures on the left from Michael Moore to Keith Olbermann are calling on President Joe Biden to commit overtly unlawful acts in his final 100 days in office, including targeting his political opponents. In one of the few statements of Moore with which I agree, he stated that this is "no joke." It certainly is not. It is the same logic used by looters that they have a license for illegality. However, this constitutional looting would endanger not just the Constitution but the country as a whole if Biden were to heed this advice. In a posting on Substack, Moore told Biden that it was time to yield to temptation and check off a liberal 13-item "bucket list" of demands, tossing aside questions of legality or constitutionality in the process.

Joe's 2024 Exit Results in Hunter Biden's 'Art' to Face Value Plunge. Now that President Joe Biden's political career is officially over, Hunter Biden must find a new way to profit himself, given that his family can no longer peddle money from shady foreign businesses and his so-called "art" deals. According to experts in the art industry, Hunter Biden's art career is a thing of the past. Now that the president's time in the District of Corruption is over, so is his son's shady art business. "His father is no longer relevant in the maelstrom, which is politics," Charlie Horne, president of Gurr Johns, an art valuation and advisory firm, told the outlet. He predicted that over time, Hunter Biden's art market will be "wash[ed] away." "His cachet will be short-lived. I don't think he's ever gotten real traction," he continued. Critics say Hunter Biden's short-lived art "career" was boosted solely by his father's influence in Washington — and that may be true because only ten people bought his paintings for $1.5 million.

The Editor says...
The worthlessness of Hunter Biden's "artwork" has been obvious for years, but all assertions that his art sales were just laundered bribes were dismissed as a right-wing conspiracy theory.

Biden personally pressured Starmer to give up Chagos Islands. The sun will finally set on the British Empire, reportedly heavily due to President Joe Biden's pressure on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. According to the Telegraph, Biden administration officials told their British counterparts that a refusal to give up the Chagos Islands in the Indian Sea would jeopardize the U.S.-U.K. "special relationship." A deal was reached with Mauritius last week to transfer sovereignty of the British territory, one of the last of the United Kingdom's possessions in the Indo-Pacific region. On March 21, 2025, the old adage that the "sun never sets on the British Empire" will no longer be true, as the sun will set on all of the U.K.'s territorial possessions for the first time in more than 200 years.

Biden Takes a Blowtorch to Obama in New Book. Bob Woodward has a new book, War, about the inner dynamics of the Biden White House, some of which you probably guessed to be true in the long four years we've suffered under this man. It paints a picture that's become familiar: an angry old man, not in control, and holding seething resentment toward pretty much everyone, including Barack Obama. It captures the baffling arrogance of Mr. Biden, who has never done anything remotely significant to earn such a demeanor. We learn how he refers to Donald Trump in private — [expletives deleted] — and how he rages against his former boss, even blaming him for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and his lengthy diatribes against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It can all be grounded in one simple truth: Biden hates these men due to political differences, perceived lack of experience, like with Obama, or because no one listens to him, as with Bibi. [Tweet]

Biden raged over DOJ going after Hunter, and other bombshells revealed in Woodward book. Furious Joe Biden regrets choosing Attorney General Merrick Garland to lead the Justice Department after the agency prosecuted his son Hunter, a new book by Bob Woodward claims. The allegation is just one of a number of bombshell insights into the Biden White House in "War," out October 15. The book reveals a president desperately trying to stave off war in the Middle East, fearful of Russia unleashing nuclear warfare, and worn down by his wayward son. Biden also lashes out about everyone from Garland to Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netnyahu and even Barack Obama — who Biden blames for not stopping Putin's 2014 invasion of Crimea, raging that "Barack never took Putin seriously." The president has publicly said he will not pardon his son's conviction on three federal gun charges or commute his sentence — but remains privately furious at the AG, writes Woodward, who describes how Biden told an associate he "should never have picked Garland."

Joe Biden Keeps Wrecking Kamala's Media Days. He's not a nice old man. Joe Biden had a reputation for being Mr. Empathy until that got torpedoed during his weak sauce presidency. He's intentionally slow walking aid to Georgia and North Carolina to prevent these people from recovering in time for Election Day. There are other moments where this cantankerous ogre reared its ugly head, but the aftermath of Hurricane Helene has shined a light on it. And for being half braindead, Joe is doing an excellent job in sabotaging his vice president's 2024 chances, starting with interjecting into Kamala's soft media blitz. Kamala was on The View today, but Joe held a press conference that cut into this media hit. It's not the first time, and it's becoming a pattern that's driving Kamala's advisers crazy.

Kamala's Katrina Catastrophe. Biden's failure to add one rural internet connection, despite spending $42.5 billion, was no accident. It was planned to deny rural (i.e., Republican) residents internet service, divert massive sums to unknown nefarious purposes, and prevent Elon Musk's Starlink network from profiting. Where is the congressional forensic accounting? Even legitimate administrations couldn't spend billions without substantial graft. Vanishing $1 billion a month — well over $1 million an hour — requires considerable effort. [...] The intentional failure behind the rural internet scam is confirmed by Biden's fabricated tale of pandemic parents parking outside McDonald's so kids could do homework. Biden is an incompetent, incessant liar and plagiarist. Lying supplies the oxygen necessary for his narcissistic need to lord over the rest of us. [...] Biden lies to conceal criminality. The rural internet scam is only one example. The bigger the lie, the bigger his crime. His biggest crimes (second only to treasonous China advocacy) involve Ukraine, including Burisma.

A Tale of Two Hurricanes and Presidents. Hurricane Helene hit Florida on Sept. 26 as a Category 4 storm, moving north and dumping torrential rain onto Georgia and North Carolina, devastating Asheville, and western North Carolina. [...] On Sept. 30, four days after the hurricane landed, former President Donald Trump visited Georgia. No flyover, but boots on the ground. Where were President Biden and Vice President Harris? Biden was on the sand at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, saying only, "I was commanding it." What was he commanding? The hurricane? Or was he finally beating Medicare? Remember above how U.S. News & World Report criticized Bush for being "on vacation." Any similar criticism of Biden? Fat chance. Snapshots and soundbites. Biden at the beach, "I'm commanding." To pile on, what did the Biden administration do or not do to aid North Carolina hurricane victims? They cut off communications.

Kamala Harris reassures world that she is still confident in Joe Biden's mental ability to serve president despite recent gaffes. Vice President Kamala Harris is still vouching for President Joe Biden's mental and physical stamina, even as he continues showing signs of his age. Biden continues to limit his number of public events with scheduled calls and meetings between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. 'Of course,' Harris spokesperson Ian Same replied, when asked by Axios if Harris had full confidence in the president's mental fitness.

Biden Uses Remaining Power, Hides Hunter's Corruption Until After Election. Joe Biden decided to use his remaining months in the White House to hide the corruption of his son, Hunter Biden, until after the 2024 election. The National Pulse reported that the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) decided to delay the release of documents related to Joe and Hunter's corruption during Barack Obama's presidential years for the next 30 days, which means that Americans would not be able to view the documents until November 6, which is a day right after the 2024 election. According to the news source, some of the NARA records could expose the Biden family even more, specifically Hunter's foreign business dealings and how they helped the Biden family to become rich.

Bongino: White House cocaine coverup. [Scroll down] Within two months, Donald Trump escaped two assassination attempts by the narrowest of margins. To be sure, his close protection detail interposed themselves between Trump and bullets, but only after he'd already been shot and after two bystanders were seriously wounded and another killed. Acting SS Director Ronald Rowe, while admitting failure, has, after the most recent attempt on Trump's life, proclaimed the SS's methodology sound and effective. Certainly, in coverups, and now we're discovering, thanks to former SS agent Dan Bongino, that methodology was applied to covering for who was responsible for the cocaine found in the White House: [Tweet] As one might imagine, the White House is pressuring the SS to destroy the evidence and all information relating to the cocaine's owner, who apparently is known. Who might that be? According to Bongino, someone in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or within the Biden Crime Family. As one might also imagine, government panic has increased as the chance of Donald Trump being reelected increases. This time around, he might make that kind of information public, which would badly shred Biden's fast-failing legacy.

'The Disappearing Bidens'? Ever wonder who's really president these days? You're not alone, even if you're more honest about it than the mainstream media. Joe Biden spent the weekend at Rehoboth Beach as Hurricane Helene slammed into several states and killed hundreds of people, rather than spending it at the White House directing the emergency response. It took him days later to finally show up in person, and even then barely managed to do much than gawk. Axios notes his apparent early retirement in a similar manner. Since the June 27 debate, both Joe and Jill Biden have been mighty hard to spot. [...] Not doing public events is one thing. Going AWOL in the middle of a massive, deadly natural disaster is something else entirely. The press absolutely pilloried George Bush for remaining at his Crawford ranch as Katrina approached and attempting to manage it remotely — and he at least cut the stay short after Katrina made landfall.

Joe Biden's Dawdling in Ordering Federal Troops for Disaster Relief Is Incompetent, Malicious, or Both. It has been nearly a week since Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina, and Joe Biden has finally announced, on behalf of whoever is running the country, that he has authorized 1,000 federal troops from Fort Bragg (I will never call it anything else) North Carolina, to assist in disaster relief operations a mere 250 miles away. [...] These 1,000 troops will constitute the overwhelming majority of the federal military disaster response in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. [...] A lot of hard questions are being asked about the lack of military support. [Tweet with video clip]

The Advent of Idiocracy. [Scroll down] Then, enter Joe Biden. Biden was "a poor student" in high school. (Wikipedia's words, not mine.) Then he attended the University of Delaware in Newark (which at #76 is admittedly slightly better than Kamala's alma mater) where he was "an unexceptional student." (Wikipedia again, I'm not making this up.) Then he graduated from Syracuse University College of Law (120th, well behind Kamala's law school) where he placed 76th in a class of 85, thus destined to be the kind of president who would ignite inflation with irresponsible spending, usher over 11 million illegal aliens into the country, and arm the U.S.'s enemy, the Taliban, with more than $7.1 billion in weapons. Probably much more. He gave us idiocracy. What was new about Biden was that he was dumb. We've had presidents with dumb policies, like Johnson and Carter, but the men themselves weren't dumb. But with Biden, that changed. He was only elected because of the coattails of Obama, the frenzy of 2020, the hysteria over COVID, mass censorship, and other shenanigans.

Kamala Harris Doesn't Care About White People. Natural disasters like Hurricane Helene, a category 4 storm, are of course going to cause massive damage and devastation no matter what. But it didn't have to be as bad as it has become in the absence of timely federal aid from the Biden-Harris administration. [...] Setting aside the failure to prepare ahead of time for the massive flooding the hurricane would bring to these areas, why has it taken so long for Biden and Harris to address the disaster, and why have they done so in the most cursory, dismissive ways? Asked by a reporter on Monday why he and Harris weren't in Washington over the weekend coordinating and commanding the emergency response, Biden responded, shockingly, "I was commanding. I was on the phone for at least two hours yesterday and the day before as well." That retort, "I was on the phone for at least two hours," while Americans are drowning and starving in massive floods, should go down in our history as one of the most callous and shameful things ever said by an American president. But at least Biden said something. As of Monday afternoon [9/30/2024], Harris hadn't said a word.

Memories of Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Helene has devasted a wide swath of the Southeast, especially portions of North Carolina. Of course this has nothing to do with the government. A hurricane is what used to be known, quaintly, as an act of God. But some of us remember with bitterness how the Democratic Party press blamed President Bush for Hurricane Katrina, and used that absurd narrative to destroy Bush's second term. The idea of holding presidents responsible for hurricanes was always ridiculous, and it has never been repeated, although the Democrats did make a halfhearted run at blaming President Trump for Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico. [...] Response to emergencies like hurricanes is carried out overwhelmingly by state and local authorities who are on the scene, not by the federal government. Happily, no one at any level of government was waiting for instructions from the decrepit Joe Biden, calling in from his vacation home in Delaware. If only George W. Bush had it so good.

Biden Lounged At The Beach While Floods Wreaked 'Biblical Devastation' On Appalachia. President Joe Biden remained lounging at the beach this weekend while Appalachian valleys in North Carolina and Tennessee suffered deadly flooding from Hurricane Helene. As of Sunday morning, dozens had died across the southeastern United States, but the death toll is likely to rise following the torrential downpour from the Category 4 storm that smashed into the Big Bend of Florida on Thursday. Biden's public schedule had him depart for Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Friday, the day after the hurricane's initial landfall. He was initially expected to be there through late Sunday evening, but the president reportedly returned to Washington earlier on Sunday as tensions escalate in the Middle East. Floodwaters almost completely isolated the North Carolina city of Asheville from the outside world, breaking roads and knocking out power and cell service. State officials are scrambling to airlift supplies into the region. Ryan Cole, the assistant director for emergency services in Buncombe County, said the "Biblical" flooding had wrought devastation in the area.

What Happened to the 25th Amendment? Why are we still asked to pretend Joe Biden is running the country? Every time he shows his face, he reminds the American people how much his cognition has declined and how he can't be trusted to finish a speech or remember which foreign leader he's introducing, let alone manage the daily affairs of running the country. The man was forced to bow out of his campaign after he embarrassed the national press corps and Democratic Party elites during his disastrous debate against Donald Trump in June. But Democrats and political operatives in the corporate media aren't as concerned about Biden making us an international laughingstock until Jan. 20, 2025. On Sept. 20, after not holding a Cabinet meeting for an entire year, Biden gave brief opening remarks and then made the unprecedented move to hand the reins over to his wife, leaving the world asking, "Who's in charge here, again?"

A Natural Disaster and an Infirm President. The president's continued deterioration is more than a curiosity. Those near him knew his absence of mind could affect his performance in the event of a crisis — and a crisis is now upon us. Hurricane Helene cut a 600-mile swath of devastation across the American southeast. Communities from Florida's A30 to the Smokey Mountains have been devastated. Thousands are without power and homeless. As of this writing, nearly 100 Americans were killed by the storm and the ensuing inland flooding. The White House insists the president is on the case.

Yup, Joe Biden Is As Sharp As A Tack. Reporter: "Any comment on the strikes in Yemen?" Biden: "I've spoken to both sides. They gotta settle the strike. I'm supporting the collective bargaining effort. I think they'll settle the strike." [Video clip]

The Shadow of the Shadow. You have to wonder: has there ever been a country that marched off to war with no head-of-state at the top of its war machine? It's exactly that bad in our country, with a broken animatronic Halloween scarecrow popping in-and-out of the White House to yell incoherently at election campaign events for a putative successor too scared of the predicament she's in to think straight. Really, no one is in charge — and if any of the leading actors on the scene really were, the situation could easily get worse. [...] In fact, the entire Democratic Party and its Deep State intel blob partners have melted down into a desperate mob of political criminals frantic to evade accounting for their acts. So then, setting the world on fire is all they have left, a fitting act of revenge for a faction thwarted in its mad drive to merely wreck the United States for the sake of "social justice" and "equity."

The Worst Mistake Of Joe Biden's Career Becomes Clear. If there's a lesson to glean from Biden's last year in office, it is this: Men need to understand when to bow out with dignity. There will come a time when you need to seriously assess what you have achieved, what you can still achieve, and what you want in the remaining years. Biden chose to spend at least two years of his life embarrassing himself on the world stage because he wanted to maintain power. He could have spent those two precious years toward the end of his life with his family, wife, and grandkids.

From where I'm sitting, it doesn't look like Joe Biden made the decision to stay in office rather than retire. He is apparently being used by a lot of people for a lot of purposes, none of them honorable.

The Greatest Scandal in Modern American History That No One Cares About. A little over eight weeks ago, President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, despite being the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee and only true primary vote recipient. He was forced out by the party elite, who watched his debate with Donald Trump and saw what most of America already knew: that Biden is senile. Biden was promptly replaced by Kamala Harris, his vice president, who has since solidified Democratic turnout and is running neck-and-neck with Trump. But something strange has happened since Biden's ouster: the country went back to ignoring Joe Biden's senility. Photographs and footage of Biden asleep at the beach in Delaware have filled X feeds for weeks since he dropped out of the race. Just last week, Biden turned over a full Cabinet meeting to his wife, Jill, who sat herself at the head of the table and proceeded to lecture Constitutional appointees on women's health issues. [...] So, why isn't it something of an issue that the most powerful seat on the planet — the presidency of the United States — is being currently held as a sort of emeritus position by a doddering old fool?

The Government Is Metastasizing Right Before Our Eyes! As the illegitimate winner of the 2020 election, Joe Biden was inaugurated on January 20. In January, a totalitarian-style regime with many of its political appointees with past or ongoing connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), complete with a figurehead — Joe Biden — was installed in office. He is also compromised with his history of family associations with the CCP. The new regime moved quickly ahead at an accelerated pace, utilizing multiple executive orders and sending a series of radical proposals for approval by a Democrat-controlled Congress. Their objectives are to subvert the American way of life, impose upon America a Marxist agenda, and move our country rapidly from COVID to communism.

A weak and delusional Biden at the UN. President Joe Biden delivered his final address as president to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, and it was a masterpiece of narcissistic myth-making. It was a speech of hollow boasts that couldn't have been delivered at a worse time, as America is increasingly disregarded and disrespected around the world by enemies and allies alike. Casting himself as a great defender of democracy worldwide, Biden tried to turn the coup that removed him as the leader of his own party into an act of historic self-sacrifice. [...] Everyone knows Biden did not quit voluntarily. He was forced out. His love of the country is not bigger than his ego. He did not cherish the understanding that "some things are more important than staying in power."

Creepy Biden Says His Staff Doesn't Allow Him to Have "Young Girls" Next to Him on Stage, But He's Going to Do It Anyway. Joe Biden on Monday delivered remarks at the Gotham F.C. Championship Visit in the East Room at the White House. NY Gotham was honored at the White House for its 2023 National Women's Soccer League Championship victory. Joe Biden just couldn't help himself. He just had to creep on young girls. White House staffers have tried to keep Biden away from young children, but he doesn't listen.

History Lesson: Jill Biden Goes Full Edith Wilson Plus. Not only do we as humans not learn from history, we don't process what is right in front of our eyes. [...] Unlike President Woodrow Wilson (the worst) and his First Lady Edith Wilson, Joe Biden and DOCTOR Jill Biden have been right out front with Jill running the day-to-day operations of the White House, including a cabinet meeting, and foreign policy. Well foreign policy that involves travel. When the foreign Heads of State come here, and DOCTOR Jill has an event at the White House, Joe has to get gone.

Jill Biden takes over as president fades away. This week's White House Report Card focuses on the latest evidence that first lady Jill Biden is, and long has been, the power in the West Wing. On Friday, the White House wasn't hiding it. At a rare Cabinet meeting, the president handed over the leadership to the first lady, sitting at the head of the table, her prepared notes in front of her. According to the New York Post, Jill Biden "read from a binder about maternal health initiatives for four-and-a-half minutes after her husband spoke for just two minutes off the top of the meeting."

Dazed and Confused, Joe Biden's Memory Issues Reach a Shocking New Low. The biggest political scandal in modern history continues to live on at the expense of the American people. Joe Biden, who exited the presidential race in July with no coherent explanation while insisting he's still mentally and physically fit to serve, remains the leader of the most powerful country on earth. As the story goes, he's the best, most consequential president ever, but also, he can't continue his reelection campaign. [...] I'm old enough to remember when Donald Trump drinking a cup of water with two hands spawned calls for the use of the 25th Amendment. Still, the press remains completely uninterested in questioning the dangerous absurdity of the situation.

The Democrats Defraud the Voters With A Little Help From Their Friends. The Democrats and their allies also deceived voters about Biden's mental condition. It is difficult to think of a lie more impactful than deceiving voters into electing a president with seriously diminished mental capacities. When special prosecutor Robert Hur reported on Biden's mental deficiencies, the MSM joined the Democrats in attacking him. When videos showing Biden's confusion aired, the MSM and the Democrats engaged in a coordinated deception, saying the videos were "cheap fakes." Consider this: You can't sell securities to the public by making statements knowingly false or made with reckless disregard for the truth. You can't sell your house based on falsehoods; that's fraud. You can't even sell "banana bread" without actual bananas without disclosing that fact. But the Democrats and their allies have engaged in major lies to win elections and gotten away scot-free. These political lies are frauds and far more important than banana bread.

Why Is Jill Running the First Biden Cabinet Meeting in Nearly a Year? After Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, it wasn't just his campaign that came to a halt — the illusion that he was running the country evaporated as well. Instead of governing, he spent more time at the beach than in the White House. The façade that Joe Biden is still in charge took another blow on Friday during the first cabinet meeting in nearly a year, where a visibly exhausted Biden made brief remarks before passing control of the meeting to his wife, Jill Biden. [...] I'm sorry, but this isn't normal. It's one thing for a First Lady to use her platform to champion personal causes. Michelle Obama focused on child nutrition, Laura Bush prioritized child literacy, and Hillary Clinton pushed healthcare reform. But leading a cabinet meeting as if she holds actual governmental power is a different story. It doesn't matter what Jill Biden was there to comment on — what matters is that she was there at all. She's neither an elected nor appointed official. No one voted for her, and she has no political power, which makes her input on policy completely symbolic and essentially an extension of her husband. But when she shows up to a cabinet meeting, it sends the message that she is the one in charge and that her husband is an extension of her.

Jill Biden Chairs Cabinet Meeting. What's Going On? I suppose this has happened often enough during this administration that we probably shouldn't be all that shocked, but that doesn't mean that this behavior should be normalized. As we have noted here multiple times in the past, It's been almost a year since Joe Biden sat down for a meeting with the members of his cabinet to discuss world affairs and get their agenda in order. That changed yesterday when the first such cabinet meeting in more than eleven months was held at the White House... sort of. A meeting was indeed called to order, but Joe Biden's entire participation in it was comprised of his introductory remarks where he welcomed the person who would actually be chairing the meeting. That would be his wife, Jill Biden. Dr. Jill wound up doing almost all of the talking while Joe disappeared into the background before departing. This jarring event led many observers to yet again as the same question we've been wrestling with all year. Who is actually running the country right now?

Jill Biden's Cosplaying As President Just Got Much Weirder. The saga of Jill Biden cosplaying as president of the United States just got a lot weirder, and this time the press is involved. On Friday, questions arose after she was spotted sitting at the head of the table and leading a cabinet meeting at the White House. That it was the first in over a year only made the situation more perplexing. Joe Biden doesn't meet with his cabinet for that long and when he finally does, his unelected wife takes the lead? Then, later on the same day, it was revealed that her name was being embossed on honorary legislation folders as if she were equal to the president.

The Editor says...
DOCTOR Jill Biden should be arrested for impersonating a public official. No one is above the law! That's what the socialist Democrats constantly say.

Jill Biden Lives It Up While She Still Has Presidential Power. It's good to be the king queen! Especially when you have all of the power and none of the accountability. Last I checked, no one voted for Jill Biden to be president. Yesterday, the American public got a real look behind the curtain at the White House, which made it clear that Joe Biden is no longer in charge of the White House, much less his own life and personal care. ~~Edith Wilson~~ Jill Biden is in charge of all of that now. The president in name only held his first full cabinet meeting in nearly a year on Friday. You know, because there is absolutely NOTHING going on in the world, and after October 2nd of last year, there was no point in having full cabinet meetings because everything in the country and in foreign policy was just going swimmingly. Yes, you're reading that correctly. Joe Biden has been such a meat puppet that there wasn't even a full cabinet meeting after October 7th. I guess that's one way to keep the 25th Amendment off the table — simply never BE AT THE TABLE with the rest of the Cabinet. But there finally was one on Friday, and Old Grandpa Joe promptly turned over the whole meeting to ~~Lady Macbeth~~ Jill Biden — who was sitting at the head of the table. [Tweet with video clip]

People Have a Lot of Questions About Report That Jill Biden's Signature Is on Legislation Folders. X was all atwitter on Friday with the question of what Jill Biden was doing at a cabinet meeting. Joe Biden hasn't held one in 11 months, as he's abdicated his responsibilities. At the start of his meeting on Friday he introduced Jill, and then she did all of the talking about the White House Women's Health initiative. She didn't speak for very long, but she walked through some of the initiatives that they are taking — things that you would think Joe normally would be outlining for the cabinet. That has a lot of people wondering what was going on, and talking about Edith Wilson. Here's the end of what she said. I have a lot of thoughts about the look of this: [Tweet with video clip]

Jill Biden Takes Over the 1st Cabinet Meeting in Over a Year. No Cabinet meetings in over a year and Biden turns it completely over to Jill. Is Jill Biden the President? We really don't know who is running the country, and Jill is as good a guess as any. She promises to never go away because there is much work to do. Oh, goody. She is so great on women's issues that she wants men in their bathrooms and locker rooms. MSNBC is falling all over themselves here. [Tweet with video clip]

If the Cabinet never meets, that explains why the 25th Amendment hasn't been used to remove Joe Biden.

Joe Biden, 20 Years Ago, Blocked the Potential First Black Female on the Supreme Court. California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown did not set out to become the first black female nominated to the United States Supreme Court. But had it not been for then-Sen. Joe Biden standing in her way 20 years ago, Brown might well have been on the road to "breaking this ceiling." Brown, the daughter and granddaughter of sharecroppers, was born in Alabama during Jim Crow. [...] In 2003, President George W. Bush nominated her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, from which more justices go on the Supreme Court than any other circuit. Even though Brown had majority support in the Senate, Sen. Biden filibustered her nomination. According to columnist Robert Novak, Biden's obstruction represented "the first full-scale effort in American history to prevent a president from picking the federal judges he wants."

Jill Biden to Honor Cast Members of 'West Wing' TV Show. Jill Biden is going to honor the cast members of the TV show 'The West Wing' at the White House on Friday to celebrate the 25 year anniversary of the show. This is the same administration that couldn't even be bothered to honor Gold Star families by showing up at Arlington National Cemetery this summer and then had the nerve to criticize Trump for doing so. This tells you everything you need to know about the Democrats. This is who they really care about. This is who they want approval from.

The Biden/Harris Legacy. Take a moment to think about this. Under the Biden/Harris administration, we now have two unsuccessful attempts to assassinate the former President of the United States. The Biden/Harris administration has repeatedly refused to provide enhanced Secret Service protection to President Trump during this run for re-election. Concurrent with and immediately before both attempts, Biden and Harris have repeatedly used inflammatory rhetoric targeting President Trump. Regarding the Biden/Harris presidential administration, what will history record? I suggest that it is likely that the Biden/Harris administration will be recorded as highly corrupt and incompetent. An administration with a constant appetite for war and other foreign adventures (Nordstream, for example) and yet curiously incompetent in the management of war. Witness the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the enormously expensive and mismanaged Ukrainian misadventure.

IRS whistleblowers sue Hunter Biden's attorney for $20 million, claim 'malicious harm'. Two IRS whistleblowers who blew the whistle on alleged political interference in Hunter Biden's tax crimes filed on Friday a $20 million lawsuit against Mr. Biden's lawyer, Abbe Lowell. IRS investigators Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler accused Mr. Lowell of retaliating against them with "clear malice" when they blew the whistle against his client by making defamatory statements where he alleged that they illegally revealed Mr. Biden's tax information. They are each suing Mr. Lowell for $10 million.

Merrick Garland's failures. The most glaring failure in Garland's leadership occurred when his appointed council Robert Hur refused to indict President Joe Biden for his obvious classified records crime on the grounds of Biden's compromised cognition and memory function. Instead of disciplining Hur or pursuing further duty under section 4 of the 25th Amendment to our Constitution, Garland stood silent. Garland could have appealed to Vice President Harris and other cabinet members to seek Biden's removal via appropriate constitutional processes. Garland's inaction has left our country with a president compromised cognitively and legally until January 2025. Did Garland ever notice Joe Biden's cognitive failures during cabinet meetings? During individual meetings? Garland seems to maintain purity in his own performance and responsibilities by silence, passivity, or inaction. The multilayered prosecution of Hunter Biden is another example of Garland's passive leadership.

Anybody home at the White House? Anybody seen Joe Biden lately? He's not on vacation today, which is unusual, having spent 40% of his entire presidency plopped out on a lawnchair on a Delaware beach. [...] That's a nameless, faceless, oligarchy, composed of big Democrat campaign donors, old dinosaurs in Congress, and former Obama operatives burrowed deep in the permanent government that's running the country as Joe Biden lays out like a beached whale. Kamala Harris is nowhere to be found.

Beating the Cheat. [Scroll down] Biden's debate performance — if that's the word I'm groping for — brought the situation into focus in a manner not often seen in politics. What most of us have known for some time — that SloJoe can't be relied on to safely use a crosswalk, much less run a country — landed before the public with reverberations echoing across the country. The fate of the Basement President was already clear. The historical wrong of 2020 was going to be righted, by the most definitive mean — the voters.

Kamala Harris Copied Her Long-Awaited Policy Platform From Someone Else's Website. The policies themselves are what you'd expect. Some of them are incoherent word salads that never lay out any actual mechanism for accomplishing the promises being made. Others are just typical far-left slop, including on issues like energy and healthcare. At the very least, the release countered the idea that Harris is now a moderate. Perhaps there's a reason for that. According to a new report, Harris didn't even author some of the policy positions presented. Instead, they were lifted from Joe Biden's old campaign website.

Report: Joe Biden Has Spent 40.3 Percent of His Presidency on Vacation. President Joe Biden (D) has reportedly spent 40.3 percent of his presidency on vacation while Americans suffer from problems such as crippling inflation and an open border. In a social media post on August 31, the Republican National Committee (RNC) Research shared a video of Biden lounging on a chair at the beach. He appeared to be talking on the phone as beachgoers walked past: [Tweet with video clip]

The Biden-Harris World Is Afire. Somehow the United States ended up this summer with no engaged president and an absent vice president who avoids the missing president and is frantically repudiating everything she co-owned the last three years. [Advertisement] The world was already confused over how President Joe Biden was apparently declared by unnamed Democratic insiders and donors unfit and unable to continue as their presidential candidate — as if he were a dethroned Third-World usurper. [Advertisement] It further wondered how those who staged his removal had no problem allowing him, in his debilitated state, to continue as America's commander-in-chief until January 20, 2025. They demonstrated their priorities that focus on retaining power, not the welfare of the nation or the will of over 14 million Biden primary voters. Vice President Kamala Harris, until Biden's forced abdication, was judged by these same backroom fixers as too incompetent to ever be commander-in-chief and thus for three years a good reason why Biden apparently was not forced out earlier.

Hunter Biden 'All Smiles' After Guilty Plea. He Should Be. If there's anyone who was truly "shocked" by Hunter Biden's decision on Thursday to plead guilty to all charges in his California tax fraud case, they clearly haven't been paying attention. You might expect that after entering that many guilty pleas on charges that could bring 17 years behind bars (keeping in mind that he's already a convicted felon), a person might be feeling a bit down in the dumps. But that wasn't the case with the First Son yesterday. He was seen heading out to a ritzy Malibu restaurant with his entourage, smiling like a person without a care in the world. There probably isn't much of a mystery behind this appearance either because Hunter very likely doesn't have a care in the world. Things may have gone south for his father considerably over the past couple of months, but for Hunter, the timing likely couldn't be better, [...] As you likely saw in the headlines, Hunter said on Thursday that he entered the guilty pleas to "spare" his family from further "embarrassment." In reality, there may have been a lot more involved than simply further embarrassment and it probably would have involved many more Bidens than just his father.

Guess Who's Not Going to Jail Before the Election? [Scroll down] If you recall, Hunter [Biden] was offered an extraordinary sweetheart deal by the Department of Justice, one that fell apart as soon as the judge took a look at it. [...] In June a jury convicted him on federal gun charges. He was also charged in a nine-count indictment in the central district of California with tax evasion, failure to file /pay taxes, and false/fraudulent tax return. [...] President Biden has said he will not pardon Hunter. I wouldn't bet on him holding to this. It's perfectly obvious that Hunter pled guilty to avoid public exposure of the at least 27 million dollars that flowed into his family's coffers as bribes by foreigners with something they wanted from the then vice-president. These include bribes from a Romanian real-estate magnate with ties to the CEF China Energy and the Ukrainian gas company Burisma. Other bribes involved, Russian, Chinese, Kazakhstan, and Ukrainian individuals.

Hunter Biden ruined himself every step of the way — now he's betting it all on pardon from dad. Hunter Biden just showed the perils of playing the game of chicken with yourself. For months, many of us have marveled at the sight of Hunter careening toward a cliff while declaring publicly that he was prepared to go all the way. The Justice Department was never going over the cliff because they had nothing to gain or lose in open-and-shut cases in Delaware and California. There was never a serious question of convicting Hunter of these crimes, just a will of the Justice Department to secure them. Special Counsel David Weiss inexplicably allowed serious felonies to expire, refused to bring obvious crimes as an unregistered foreign agent, and sought to cut an embarrassing sweetheart deal with Hunter to avoid any jail time on a couple of minor crimes.

Biden's astonishing vacation total revealed — prez took 48 years worth of leave in 4. President Biden spends almost as much time on R&R as he does running the country. The 81-year-old commander-in-chief has racked up 532 vacation days in less than four years — about 40% of the 1,326 days he's been in office. It would take the average American — who gets 11 days a year of vacation — approximately 48 years to accumulate that number of days off, according to shocking data compiled by the Republican National Committee. "The image of Biden fast asleep and lying flat on his back in his chair at the beach while America and the world is on fire will define the Biden presidency," said Mark Paoletta, the general counsel of the White House budget office under former President Donald Trump.

A Barely-There Joe Biden Admits the Inflation Reduction Act Was a Total Scam. Remember Joe Biden? It's hard to believe, but despite his escalating dementia, he's still the President of the United States because nothing matters anymore. He's also still speaking publicly on occasion, and on Thursday, he managed to admit the Inflation Reduction Act was a scam. Why did he do that? The simple answer is that he's senile and doesn't even realize what he's saying half the time at this point. [Tweet with video clip] [...] This dude is still the president despite dropping his re-election bid with no official explanation, and the press just moved on like it was no big deal. The fact that the 25th Amendment hasn't been used against Biden is a major scandal, and one Kamala Harris should be made to answer for. She won't be, but she should be.

Hunter Biden changes his plea to guilty as his $1.4 million tax evasion trial kicks off in LA. Hunter Biden is pleading guilty to at least some of the nine tax evasion charges against him, in a stunning last-minute reversal at his criminal trial in Los Angeles. The change was not due to a plea deal, with prosecutor Leo Wise telling Judge Mark Scarsi on Thursday: 'this is the first we're hearing of this'. The shock revelation was made by Hunter's attorney Abbe Lowell in front of the judge, while 120 potential jurors waited next door to be selected for his trial.

Hunter Biden Admits He Committed Every Element of Every Crime Charged in Indictment. Hunter Biden entered an open guilty plea in a Los Angeles courtroom Thursday afternoon to nine charges brought against him in a federal indictment related to failure to pay income taxes and tax evasion. He will be sentenced on December 16 and faces up to 17 years in prison and over $1.3 million in fines.

And of course, he will serve the entire 17 years, because no one is above the law, as the Democrats constantly say.

Hunter: On Second Thought, I'm Actually Guilty. [Scroll down] Anyway, this should put an emphatic end to Joe's claims that his son did nothing wrong. And it will put an emphatic start on the pardon process, which is clearly what is driving the effort to avoid the trial and get right to sentencing. Hunter must be worried that his father may not be holding the keys to that authority for much longer — or his father may be worried what would have come out in court. Or both.

The Media Lies Add Up. [Scroll down] More hysteria followed when Trump was impeached in December 2019. The left claimed he had pressured the Ukrainian government to look into the family of Joe Biden (then a potential 2020 election opponent) for its corruption with Ukrainian oligarchs — as a condition for releasing military aid designated to Kyiv. Yet Hunter Biden was paid nearly $1 million a year by a Ukrainian energy company to enlist his father, Vice President Joe Biden, for quid pro quo services. In turn, Joe Biden himself later bragged he had pressured Ukraine to fire its prosecutor, Victor Shokin — who happened to be looking too closely into the various shady schemes of the Biden family. The deceptions and lies continued.

Lawsuit probes whether Joe Biden got FBI warning of security risk of Hunter's foreign biz. On the eve of Hunter Biden's tax trial in California, the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project has sued the FBI, CIA and five other federal agencies for records revealing whether Joe Biden or any of his family members ever received a defensive briefing on the First Son's business dealings. The Heritage records requests "go to the heart of whether President Biden or his family were, at a minimum, made aware of the potential Kompromat that could have been developed against the then-Vice President and future President of the United States as a result of his son's foreign business dealings," says the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the Washington DC District Court. A defensive briefing is a security heads-up given to government officials and other exposed individuals at risk of becoming targets of foreign intelligence services.

Joe Biden's quiet quit. Early in the first and only term of his presidency, Joe routinely worked 30-hour weeks. It's common knowledge that he spent about 40% of his time back at that Delaware beach house. From that low baseline, he's descended still further after being defenestrated from the 2024 race by the three Y's — Nancy, Barry and Kammy. I would say Joe is pouting, but he seems to lack the energy for even that. He has simply checked out. Let's look at his schedule for the last couple of weeks. For that, we have the venerable non-partisan newspaper "Roll Call" which keeps tabs on such things based on the White House official reports. Last week, Joe did nothing all week, except "receive the President's Daily Brief" each day. [...] The prior week he did do something. On Monday of that week, he shouted at the teleprompter in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention. His shouting was pushed back to 11 pm, in order to minimize the number of people watching it. That's way past Joe's bedtime, so then he immediately jetted off to wine country in Napa Valley where he recuperated for the rest of the week at the 8,000-acre estate of a rich Democrat donor.

Biden has now surpassed Obama as the laziest president in American history.

Is Biden Trying to Help Kamala Lose? The conventional wisdom is that Kamala Harris is trying to separate herself from the Biden-Harris administration's record. On the economy, the border crisis, and even Israel, Kamala desperately wants to brand her potential presidency as a "new way forward" and turn the hyphen in "Biden-Harris administration" into a ten-foot pole. So why is Joe Biden joining her on the campaign trail? Biden took a break from his vacation to appear on stage with Kamala Harris in Pittsburgh. Perhaps the theory is that "Scranton Joe" will help her in the Keystone State, where recent polling for her doesn't look so good. But actually, Biden's presence just reminds us that Harris was a key player in covering up his cognitive decline and is as responsible for the administration's failures as he is. Biden's performance at the rally was, to say the least, a train wreck. [Video clip]

Hunter Biden tax trial starts this week. He faces up to 17 years in prison. Hunter Biden's tax trial is slated to begin this week in a California federal court. Hunter Biden faces up to 17 years in prison for nine charges — three felonies and six misdemeanors — related to his alleged failure to pay over $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019. Rather than paying his taxes, prosecutors allege he spent his substantial income on an "extravagant lifestyle," including "drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature." Like his gun trial in June, where prosecutors secured a conviction on all three felony counts, this should be a "slam-dunk case" for prosecutors since the evidence of guilt is "overwhelming," John Malcolm, vice president of the Heritage Foundation's Institute for Constitutional Government, told the Daily Caller News Foundation[.]

Knives Out: Administrative State Begins Leaking Information About the Bidens. Maybe President Joe Biden was never a serious member of the Washington, DC, establishment — like the Clintons, the Bushes, or the Obamas — or, maybe, the establishment just had no more use for him. Either way, the knives seem to be out for the Biden family after Joe Biden stepped aside from the 2024 presidential election. In three leaks in the last month, members of the permanent political class in Washington disclosed damaging information about the Biden family. [Advertisement] One: Hunter Biden accepted $3,101,258 from Romanian partner Gabriel Popoviciu to "influence U.S. government agencies" when Joe Biden served as vice president, Special Counsel David Weiss said in a court filing. [Advertisement] The filing stops short of accusing Hunter of having "improperly coordinated with the Obama administration," but it underscores how Biden's Department of Justice (DOJ) failed to indict Hunter on Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) violations in 2023 while Joe Biden remained in the presidential race. Two: The State Department released a document showing that Hunter Biden sought U.S. government help for Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian company. [Advertisement]

House Finds Biden Committed Impeachable Offenses, But Won't Do Anything. The 291-page report from Congress states the following: "First and foremost, overwhelming evidence demonstrates that President Biden participated in a conspiracy to monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family." "Among other aspects of this conspiracy, the Biden family and their business associates received tens of millions of dollars from foreign interests by leading those interests to believe that such payments would provide them access to and influence with President Biden." According to reporting by Just the News, the committee cited evidence that Biden "actively participated" in an influence-peddling conspiracy by attending dinners with his family's foreign associates and speaking to them over the phone. These interactions were documented by email evidence and testimony from several of Hunter Biden's ex-business partners. The Congressional committees also found clear evidence showing Hunter Biden used his father's official position as vice president to "garner favorable outcomes in foreign business dealings and legal proceedings."

Joe Biden Appears to be Done Pretending to be President. Over at Townhall, Katie Pavlich asks two important questions. First, where is Joe Biden? And second, who is running the country at the moment? The subject arose because people have been looking at the President's schedule as published by the White House. Normally that schedule is sparse with a very early lid on the best of days. But now it's absolutely empty. Biden just came back from a one week vacation in California, but he headed immediately to his mansions in Delaware for another two weeks of rest and relaxation. There is nothing on the schedule after the President's daily briefing each morning and we're not entirely sure that he's even getting those. The Vice President is out on the campaign trail constantly. So we shall ask once again. We're supposedly overseeing two separate wars overseas and wrestling with multiple crises back at home. Who exactly is running the United States?

Biden Is on Permanent Break. Who's Running the U.S.? Biden and the entire crooked clan are on vacation at a billionaire's California estate. That's where Biden headed after yelling about how all his opponents are a threat to democracy at the DNC convention (presumably not his own party bosses who ousted him and replaced him with Kamala.) That's before Biden leaves his vacation in California to go on vacation in Delaware. Biden headed off to his California vacation on Monday after the DNC in Chicago after flying off to do the event on Friday. And not much was going on that week either beyond such events as a campaign appearance with Kamala in Maryland on Thursday, "the President drops by the White House Creator Economy Conference" and calls "President José Raúl Mulino of Panama" on Wednesday. On Tuesday, Biden flew out to New Orleans to talk about claims that he's going to cure cancer. And on Monday, Biden had been on vacation in Delaware. Much of the time there's simply nothing on the public schedule. Or one event.

President Vacation. At a time when we're experiencing so many threats like an uncertain economy, threatened allies, and wars in multiple areas, it's crucial for America to have a leader who is fully engaged and ready to take on any challenge. Unfortunately, we have Joe Biden. Sure, he's the lamest of lame ducks and is probably in "forget it" mode after the way the Democrats so unceremoniously forced him out of his reelection campaign, but you'd think that Biden would be around to address the many crises happening right now. Instead, he's enjoying some kind of endless summer.

Secret Service Agents Shove Civilians Out of the Way As Joe and Jill Continue Endless Vacation. Do you remember learning in high school how one of the reasons we rebelled against the English monarchy was because we were freedom-minded and didn't believe in "kings" and "monarchs" who inherited their power instead of earning it? And how we believed that a leader should be a person of the people and not some distant autocrat who rules on a golden throne from afar? However, if you're the Incredibly Shrinking President Joe Biden, who seems to be on permanent vacation at the taxpayer's expense, these rules do not apply to you. Get out of the way, plebes!

These are the Dems who deserve an Oscar for the fake, all-an-act convention. Best Animated Feature — Joe Biden. It is amazing what modern animation can achieve. Way past his normal bedtime of 4 p.m., a character amazingly resembling Joe Biden took to the stage. He managed a whole speech, whipped himself up into a rage over things that nobody said and wiped a tear from his face as he accepted the gratitude of a party that wanted him gone. There was reported to be a sequel to this animation in the works. But word is that the studio pulled the plug after a poor performance at the box office.

No One Is Buying It. Earlier this week, on the opening night of the demonic confab in Chicago that Democrats call their national convention, the outgoing commander-in-chief explicitly denied that he was "angry at all those people" who said he should "step down" following his catastrophic faceplant at the June presidential debate. There is not a single soul who actually believes this. [...] As for the notion that Biden is a "good man" — this too is a lie. Indeed, it has been one of the biggest, most frequently repeated lies of my entire life. Biden is not a good man. Let's ask Mary Ellen Bork whether Biden, who teamed up with Mary Jo Kopechne murderer Ted Kennedy to so brutally savage her late husband Robert's Supreme Court nomination that "bork" entered the English lexicon as a verb, is a "good man." We might also ask Clarence Thomas whether Biden, who did more than anyone else to spread Anita Hill's slanderous lies, is a "good man." Also: Can any father in America actually look at Hunter Biden and conclude that Joe was a good father?

Who is running the country right now? The powers that be have sent President Joe Biden on vacation to California for the remaining days of the Democratic National Convention (DNC). He is currently tucked away on a five-day vacation at the estate of a billionaire Democrat donor. His schedule over the past two days has been entirely empty. Last week, President Biden was on vacation to Camp David. The week before, he was on vacation in Delaware. Ever since he was effectively forced to surrender the Democratic nomination to Vice President Kamala Harris, Biden has been missing in action. Sure, before that, he was barely functional, but Biden's schedule has now reached new levels of absurdity. Yet it looks like this is the game plan for his handlers for the next 151 days until Inauguration Day 2025 arrives.

Impeachment report shows why Dems were desperate to get rid of corrupt Biden. [House Republicans] released a final report on their long-running probe of the Biden family business — i.e., the lucrative sale of Biden's political influence to agents of corrupt and anti-American regimes. [...] It is an important summary of the Biden family business, as much accountability as the public can expect given the limitations of congressional investigations that are stonewalled by an incumbent administration. It is, moreover, a useful record of that stonewalling — very much including the corruption of the Justice Department — which connects the current Biden administration with the tireless self-dealing of Biden's career, culminating in his term as vice president. As the investigation spearheaded by House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) documents — and richly corroborates with bank records and testimony from accomplices and whistleblowers — the Biden family cashed in, to the tune of more than $27 million, in marketing access to the current president.

10 Lies Leftists Tell You. Lie #9: Joe Biden and the Democrats have brought decency back into the White House. I don't know about decency, but it's true that senile Joe and his lackeys brought a bunch of things into the Executive Mansion: Dylan Mulvaney, a man pretending to be a girl; a "mysterious" bag of cocaine; a transgendered person flashing his fake breasts on the South Lawn; six of the president's seven grandchildren, the youngest born of an affair between a stripper and Biden's felonious son being persona non grata; the selfish, spoiled, America-hating soccer star Megan Rapinoe; the lewd, obscenity-spewing rapper GloRilla; a pair of vicious German Shepherds, both fond of chomping on Secret Service agents; and, of course, Hunter, the president's crack-smoking, sex-trafficking, illegal gun-wielding Biden Family bagman. If that's decency, you can keep it.

Ignoring Joe Biden's Corruption Tells The World America Is Corrupt. With Joe Biden out as Democrats' candidate for president, the House of Representatives' report on the impeachment inquiry released this morning may give off a "What difference, at this point, does it make?" vibe. After all, even if the House votes to impeach the president, the Senate won't convict him and he'll be out of office and politics forever in January 2024. The nearly 300-page report nonetheless matters for many reasons, the most important of which is to restore America's standing in the world. Over more than 150 pages, the House's impeachment report establishes that Joe Biden conspired with his family members and their business partners to monetize his position as vice president. In exchange for access to then-Vice President Biden, foreign individuals and entities gave various Biden family members and their friends more than $27 million — some of those proceeds passed directly on to the Big Guy. Those generalities fail to adequately capture the audacity of the conspiracy, or the harm to our country caused by Biden announcing through his conduct that the United States of America can be bought.

Cruz, Issa Demand Answers on Possible Secret Service Cocaine 'Cover-Up'. Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Darrell Issa are demanding answers from the Secret Service about a possible cover-up and a "troubling pattern of misconduct" surrounding the agency's handling of cocaine discovered in the White House last summer. The two Republican lawmakers, who serve in key Judiciary Committee roles in the Senate and the House, cited revelations from a RealClearPolitics article last week that former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and senior agency leaders sought to destroy the cocaine discovered in the White House last summer. Despite the push, leaders of the Forensics Services and the Uniformed Divisions rejected efforts to dispose of the evidence and presumably are keeping the bag of cocaine in a Secret Service evidence vault.

Biden DNC Speech Is a Historic Train Wreck — With a Slurring, Stumbling, Screaming Speech Full of Lies. Joe Biden was, on some level, wrapping up his political career during his DNC speech on Monday night. He had expected to give the keynote address on Thursday. That was before the coup, when he was shoved aside and replaced by Kamala Harris as the nominee. So, you can imagine he's not a happy camper when it comes to that. It was perhaps appropriate that the day was a mess with protesters breaching the security fence, attacking the police, and getting arrested. Then, Biden made weird comments about former President Donald Trump, claiming his "stability" was still a question. [Tweet]

There is no room on this website for ad hominem attacks... like this:
Jill Biden Walks Out on Stage at DNC Convention Wrapped in a Plastic Trash Bag. Nurse Jill walked out on stage at the DNC convention in Chicago Monday night wrapped in a plastic trash bag. Jill Biden put on a fake smile Monday night after Kamala Harris forced her husband Joe Biden off the ballot, stole all of his delegates, and took his donor money. Attendees holding "Jill" signs cheered as she walked out on stage in another hideous dress.

A Night At the Opera: Day One of the Democratic National Convention. [Scroll down] After his speech Biden would be flying to vacation in California. But by 11:30 p.m. he began his speech declaring his love for America. As the crowd called their love for Joe, he retorted that we must save democracy. He began his false claim about Charlottsville in 2017 as his call to run to rid America of Trump. For several minutes he recounted his time in Washington. The second coming of this Messiah included some truths but mostly exaggerations and obvious falsehoods. But Biden is a master of stretching the truth. The speech dragged on and on, a litany of everything he has said before in his extended political career. Listening to his 46-minute speech, I thought that I was in bizzarro world. In his screaming voice he claimed to have solved the nation's ills. As he hit the high notes, I thought I was at the opera, but then I remembered I was at a horror show.

Kamala Has Democrats in Real Trouble. On the one hand, we all know that Pelosi had been conspiring with Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama to get rid of Joe Biden on the ticket after recognizing the polling damage that his obvious senility and terrible performance as president had caused. On the other hand, she admits to being blindsided by the timing of Biden's withdrawal and also admits to have been blindsided by his simultaneous endorsement of Kamala Harris, suggesting that "everybody wanted an open process" to identify the party's candidate. [E]verybody, that is, except Joe Biden. Biden's endorsement of Harris effectively bound the DNC's hands, as the exhilarating prospect of having an ethnically diverse female president quickly spread through the party ranks and social media on that Sunday afternoon. There was simply no time to consider the entirely practical idea to initiate an open and democratic process to identify the Democrats' best and most electable candidate. As I observed immediately after the announcement, the Kamala Harris endorsement was Biden pulling the pin of a political grenade inside the party tent.

Democrats Broke the Law by Pushing Joe Biden Out of the Race. On Monday night, Joe Biden will stumble his way through a farewell speech in bidding goodbye to politics after more than 50 years in public office. Biden undoubtedly plans to offer the same schtick — a caption-necessary combination of self-pity and self-righteousness punctuated by expressions of rage and his signature creepy whisper — as he soaks in his final moments of glory in front of thousands of Democrats assembled at the United Center on the west side of Chicago. But this is not what Biden wanted. Far from it. His address will be less curtain call and more live hostage video performed under duress by a man taken captive by his own party elites including longtime friends and allies who have essentially chained the ex-presidential candidate to his Delaware beach house to keep him from doing any more political damage. Biden may speak the jumbo-sized words plastered on the teleprompter but all the while he'll hear in the back of his head the voice of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: The easy way or the hard way.

Donald Trump, Elon Musk: 'We Don't Have a President Right Now'. Former President Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk agreed that the United States does not "have a president right now" while speaking in an X Space on Monday. "Biden is close to vegetable stage, in my opinion, I looked at him today on the beach, and I said, 'Why would anybody allow him — the guy could barely walk. Does he have a political adviser that thinks this looks good? Because it looks so bad," Trump said, referring to a recent video that surfaced of President Joe Biden at the beach.

Top Biden Aide Knows Who Tanked Joe's 2024 Re-election Effort — and It's Not Obama. [Scroll down] Biden's huffy and slurred farewell address was a mini-State of the Union where the lame-duck president listed things he planned to accomplish. None of them will get done this deep in an election cycle and a House Republican majority. The president made the case for a second term — the country didn't want it. It's why he quit; he was veering quickly toward a 1980-style defeat. His June 27 debate with Donald Trump was a disaster, an election-killing event that led to the Democratic Party rebellion that became too widespread to quell. The president is said to have especially sour feelings toward Obama, who he felt was the true puppet master; maybe he was. Obama certainly was aware of the damning op-ed penned by George Clooney, which increased the pressure on Biden to quit. The former president didn't order the hit piece but didn't do anything to dissuade the Hollywood star from sending it to The New York Times. If Biden had hit grand slams in the three interviews post-debate on ABC, NBC, and BET, he might still be the 2024 Democratic candidate. Instead, they were middling trainwrecks, with the BET interview being especially brutal, forgetting the name of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who Biden referred to as the "black man."

Our Three Silent Mice. [#1 — Biden] President Biden was forced, unceremoniously and unwillingly, to abdicate from his impending reelection nomination. Since then, we have neither seen nor heard much from our sitting President. He has vanished, poof, gone. This is quite unusual if not alarming. Unlike prior to the June 27 debate, the left now makes no effort to hide Biden's debility. Indeed, it accepts the reality that an infirm Biden might not be able to finish out his remaining six months. [...] The vanishing Biden caught another case of COVID in mid-July shortly after his disastrous and historically early presidential debate with Trump. And in the subsequent month, Biden simply disappeared. [...] Americans have wondered what happened to their president. Apparently, Biden was deemed unfit by his party bosses and donors to remain its nominee but still considered hale enough to continue for half a year as America's president.

Special Counsel Confirms Hunter Biden Was Taking Bribes. According to a new court filing, the younger Biden took millions of dollars from a Romanian real estate tycoon in exchange for U.S. policy changes toward corruption in the country. The exchange took place while President Joe Biden was the Vice President during President Barack Obama's administration. [Three tweets] The central question regarding the shady, overseas Biden family business has always been whether Hunter — who was business partners with his father and often flew on Air Force Two to make deals in foreign countries — was influencing changes in U.S. government policy in exchange for payment. In other words, was the Biden family accepting bribes? According to new information unearthed by the Special Counsel, the answer is yes.

Trump Just Said Out Loud What Everybody in Washington Is Afraid To. Biden had insisted for months that he would run for a second term, and his party accommodated him, too, shutting off debate and effectively rigging the primary process. [...] Despite Biden's assurances, something mysterious happened one Saturday night in July. Reports are that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) quite personally but probably only virtually twisted Biden's arm until he cried "Uncle!" and then Biden quit the race by tweet the next day. Senior Democrats — Barack Obama's name is also mentioned in these reports — forced their nominee and a sitting president (!!!) off their ticket because they had decided he was a loser. Harris was anointed his successor to avoid party chaos and, needless to say, any of that messy democracy stuff. You know, the democracy they're saving from Trump. Everybody knows these facts. And yet nobody in Washington, particularly in the D.C. press corps, dares to call it what it was: a coup.

Chum in the Water: Hunter Biden Associate to Testify That He Bribed the First Son. I'm beginning to think that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Biden crime family bromance is coming to a close. Special counsel David Weiss is alleging that Hunter Biden and his myrmidons snagged $3 million from Romanian oligarch Gabriel Popoviciu, an accusation the Oversight Committee made in May of 2023, and Popoviciu is expected to testify in Hunter's tax evasion trial set for next month in California. Popoviciu allegedly paid Hunter $3 million to "attempt to influence U.S. government agencies to investigate the Romanian investigation," which was looking into the oligarch's affairs, Wiess stated. This seems to be a similar situation to the Ukrainian debacle where Joe Biden reportedly had a prosecutor fired for investigating Burisma, a company that paid mad stacks to the Biden family, a little piece of skullduggery that Biden bragged about in front of cameras[.] [Video clip]

Where's Joe? Political news site Roll Call maintains an objective calendar of the president's schedule, updated "at midnight Eastern Time, or when pushed out [by the White House] via social media, whichever is earlier." According to Roll Call's "President's Public Schedule," Biden last spoke in public nearly a week ago. At 10:40 on the morning of Thursday, Aug. 1, Biden undertook the strenuous 15-mile limo ride to Joint Base Andrews. There, he and Vice President Kamala Harris greeted the handful of Americans who had been freed from Russia as part of an international prisoner swap.

Joe Biden's Schedule This Week Included Two Phone Calls, One Meeting and Then Off to the Beach! Joe Biden's schedule this week has people once again wondering why this man is still the President of the United States. His official schedule listed two phone calls and one meeting, followed by an early weekend departure to his Delaware beach house on Thursday. What other job in the world would include this kind of schedule? There are major events unfolding across the country and Joe seems to be on a permanent vacation.

Do We Have an MIA President? What is Biden Doing? President Joe Biden is headed to Delaware again Thursday after holding an empty public schedule since he returned to the White House Monday. He was also in Delaware last weekend. [Three tweets] During the daily briefing at the White House Wednesday, Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre falsely claimed reporters have had access to Biden. [Tweet with video clip]

A Fly in the Ointment. We are being abused right now. There is no Commander in Chief, there just isn't, unless a president can grow six inches overnight or change the shape of his face and ears, the color of his eyes, from what historical evidence exists. It's not all that important, when it comes down to it, because the lesson learned is that the whole of congress, Democrats and Republicans, the whole Executive branch is willing to go along with the ruse, because they have no respect or sense of duty to the people. Where that is true, there is no limit to the degradation and defilement they are willing to heap on the masses. We mean less to them than a group of ants on the periphery of one's lawn, but should that group of ants begin to invade the picnic, there's no hesitation to dump a load of gasoline on the anthill and incinerate them all.

Well... That Was Fast! [Scroll down] Throughout Biden's career, he's been a liar, a cheat and an opportunist. He's repeatedly used the death of his first wife and baby daughter to garner sympathy from the public. And even in this, he's lied continuously. [...] Then there's the years of money laundering and bribes the Biden Crime family received...which continue to this day, with ongoing kickbacks from the Ukraine war and the untold trillions of dollars Biden has sent there. Five million dollars from Burisma. Ten percent for the "big guy." Not to mention the Hunter Biden laptop — filled with first-hand evidence of criminal activity, that has been verified to be legitimate, yet nothing has been done and nothing will be done.

Democrats Are Rigging Their Own Election. Does Anyone Still Think They Didn't Rig 2020? The whole episode resembles a storyline from a dystopian horror film. For years, Democrats and their legacy media allies pushed endless propaganda claiming a mentally-declining Biden possessed the rigorous stamina required to be president. Just last month, media hacks were parroting debunked talking points put out by the White House claiming videos showcasing Biden's frailty were "cheap fakes." And then the June 27 debate against Donald Trump happened. Realizing they could no longer hide Sleepy Joe's mental decline and worrying that his cratering approval rating could cost them the 2024 election, the Democrat political machine jumped into action. These political forces suddenly acknowledged what the general public has known since before the Delaware Democrat assumed the presidency. In a seemingly coordinated campaign, left-wing media acolytes, Democrat politicos, and Hollywood snobs spent the following weeks feigning a newfound concern about Biden's ailing health and demanding he drop his reelection bid to "protect democracy."

Here's one job she did well:
Former Secret Service director tried to deep-six investigation into cocaine found at White House: Report. Secret Service leaders, including then-Director Kimberly Cheatle, tried to crush an investigation into the bag of cocaine that was found in the White House in July 2023, according to yet another explosive report about the federal agency by Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics. On July 2, 2023, a bag filled with white powder later identified as cocaine was discovered by a Secret Service Uniformed Division officer who was conducting a routine inspection of the White House after the Biden family had left for Camp David for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. Because of first son Hunter Biden's known history of abusing illegal drugs, including crack and cocaine, and his recent visit to the White House, members of the press immediately began asking whether the bag belonged to him. Such questions were later labeled "irresponsible."

Former Secret Service Chief Wanted To Destroy Cocaine Evidence. Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and others in top agency leadership positions wanted to destroy the cocaine discovered in the White House last summer, but the Secret Service Forensics Services Division and the Uniformed Division stood firm and rejected the push to dispose of the evidence, according to three sources in the Secret Service community. Multiple heated confrontations and disagreements over how best to handle the cocaine ensued after a Secret Services Uniformed Division officer found the bag on July 2, 2023, a quiet Sunday while President Biden and his family were at Camp David in Maryland, the sources said. At least one Uniformed Division officer was initially assigned to investigate the cocaine incident. But after he told his supervisors, including Cheatle and Acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe, who was deputy director at the time, that he wanted to follow a certain crime-scene investigative protocol, he was taken off the case, according to a source within the Secret Service community familiar with the circumstances of his removal.

Latest Development in Biden Cocaine-gate Fiasco Raises New Questions About the Secret Service. Former Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle isn't out of the woods yet. She tried to sneak out in the dead of night after a shambolic congressional appearance following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. Cheatle, at the time, remained defiant that she was the best to lead the agency despite this catastrophic failure in protecting the former president. More updates about this attempt only reinforce the embarrassing security flaws that led to this event. Cheatle resigned, but lingering questions, specifically that of a cover-up, lingered.

The Secret Service Cocainegate Cover-Up. Was it Hunter with the cocaine in the cabinet room? Ashley with the cocaine in the Oval Office? Or was it a stranger with access to the White House reference library? The mystery of the cocaine found in the White House over the July 4, 2023, holiday was closed for lack of evidence almost as soon as it began. But now there are revelations of a cover-up in the case. A new report finds that former director Kim Cheatle, forced to resign over the disastrous near-assassination of Donald Trump, wanted the evidence destroyed, the substance not tested, and the case closed quickly. This was despite the high profile nature of the story — the evacuation of the entire White House, including the media, due to fears that the white powder, which a uniformed Secret Service agent discovered, was ricin or anthrax. Having been on the Biden's Secret Service detail, Cheatle probably knew what it was.

Hunter Biden Sentencing [is] Scheduled For [the] Week After [the] Election. A federal judge set Hunter Biden's sentencing date for the week after the 2024 election. Hunter Biden will be sentenced for his three felony gun charges on November 13, according to a Friday order by U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika. A Delaware jury convicted Biden in June on three charges relating to his purchase of a revolver while addicted to drugs.

Who Is Writing All These Executive Actions Since Biden Is Unfit? Who is responsible for all of these executive actions in such a short period of time? Joe Biden isn't capable of doing any of this. Jill Biden isn't intelligent enough to do any of this. Biden was always a hack politician, but he was American. He didn't support open borders or pro-criminal policies. We have endless funds to Ukraine. We sent another $2 billion this week. Marxist Oligarchs like George Soros have been very involved. Kamala Harris is a Marxist. Even as Biden is no longer believable as president, we are moving closer to war with Russia. The US has crossed every redline and crossed another one this weekend. [...] Someone has been busy in the White House, and it's not Joe Biden. [Long list of edicts and proclamations.]

Biden is five inches taller now, and walks like a much younger man. And even though it's late at night, and "Biden" is wide awake. Obviously an imposter. [Tweet with video clip]

Joe Rogan Questions If There Is A Stand-In For Biden Since This Version Of Him Seems A Few Inches Taller. Joe Rogan raises serious questions about Joe Biden's Height: "Look at the size of this guy. He's so much bigger! Look how big he is. He's so much bigger than Jill. He's so much bigger. Like, he gained a legitimate six inches." "What you're seeing right here: it really looks like a different person. Now, why are we saying that? Because it actually does look like a different person." [Video clip]

Barack 'Luca Brasi' Obama. The 25th Amendment is a serious option, but not intended to replace an unpopular president. The LBJ route is the better one, or giving a speech so that your party can nominate a successor. My guess is that this is going to be an issue in this campaign. After all, a lot of voters think that the VP knew something of President Biden's condition. Is it unreasonable to ask why she didn't call for a Cabinet meeting months before?

Joe Biden according to internet conspiracy theorists: bizarre new claims about the president emerge. X users have devised an outrageous new set of conspiracy theories — including claims that President Joe Biden has been secretly replaced by an imposter. A viral video showed the President and his wife, Jill Biden, walking out of the White House after he addressed the nation about his decision to drop out of the Presidential race. While many commenters praised the 81-year-old for his years of service to his country, conspiracy theorists have since made bizarre claims about his height, and that the man in the video was a 'stand in' for Joe.

The Joy of Conspiracies As They Go Mainstream. The Internet is a treasure trove of conspiracy theories, but if you're like me, when you hear a new one, you're saying, "It wouldn't surprise me!" Biden disappeared with COVID for several days, walking up the airstairs like he might never take another step. We got a resignation letter with a photocopied signature and no letterhead and still no Joe. People demanded proof of life. Then he reappeared for a teleprompter speech with fake excuses as to why he was leaving, and people said he was inches taller and his face looked different, so they went to the inevitable body double. It gets better. Stew Peters said the only question now is, "How long has he been dead?"

Kamala Harris must still hold Biden's border, inflation baggage. It's no wonder [Kamala Harris] has not done any interviews or unscripted events since being anointed Joe Biden's heir apparent. Party powerbrokers still have not spelled out why Joe had to go because, if they admit that he's too cognitively impaired to run for re-election, then he has no business being president for another six months. In his graceless, self-pitying exit speech, the president never explained why he was dropping out. In fact, he told us his record as president "merited a second term." It was party "unity" that required him to fall on his sword. The party machine has so far papered over the anger of the Bidens, which was evident in the sullen faces of Dr. Jill and Hunter and assorted other family members watching in the Oval Office.

The "Brainwashing" Behind the Biden/Harris Narrative: "This is Mind Control". "This is basically a confession that everybody who was told that you're crazy, you're a Trumper, you don't understand reality. The president is absolutely fine. All of us who've been told we were nuts have suddenly been told, you're not nuts. But the machine is going to continue to go on and lie to us... The system is simply going to try to go and anoint Kamala Harris as if there was a democratic process in place... This is mind control at scale." [Video clip]

Democracy in Name Only: How Kamala Harris Became Democratic Nominee. Like many commentators, I have described the sudden, almost magical elevation of Kamala Harris to the status of presumptive Democratic nominee for president as a "coup." "What just happened," I wrote on July 23, "is essentially an anti-democratic coup. Kamala Harris, who got no delegates — zero — when she ran for president in 2020 and was only chosen as Biden's running mate because he had promised to pick a black woman, is on the cusp of being handed the Democratic nomination for president of the United States." How did that happen? If you said, "It happened because of the machinations of the deep state," go to the head of the class. [...] Until the very morning of the day he announced his withdrawal, Joe Biden and his team were insisting he was in the race till the end. His debate performance against Trump was a disaster, true, and his poll numbers were in free fall. No matter. He was going to tough it out.

Maybe just one more junket...
Awkward Video of Jill Biden in Paris Raises Questions of Why She's Even There. It's been a week since Joe Biden left the presidential race, and he's barely been seen in public. After a fumbling Oval Office address on Thursday in which he failed to offer any explanation for his sudden departure, the president headed off to Camp David. That would be the same Camp David he hid out at before the debate performance that exposed his worsening mental and physical condition. In other words, his heading back to hunker down there is a pretty big sign of how bad off he is. Biden just suffered the most embarrassing moment of his career, clearly due to worsening health. His heading back into hiding isn't a scheduling coincidence. So where's Jill Biden? As the following awkward video shows, she's in Paris for some reason. [Tweet with video clip]

After knifing her a little through leaks in the press, Obama endorses Kamala Harris for president. Seems the Schumer and Obama groups executed the coup against hapless Joe Biden, telling him this could be done "the easy way or the hard way," and his recent catatonic address to the nation was like that of a hostage reading a proof-of-life note, a strange bruise on his lower jaw (What was that? Was it a fall? A visit from the same kind of guys who once visited Harry Reid? We don't know.) along with scattered reports of rage and screaming among the Bidenites over the course of several days.

Resident Biden finally emerges from his dark hole with hallmark signs he may have suffered a stroke. On July 23rd, 2024, Dementia Joe crawled out of his Delaware cave and hobbled toward Air Force One at Dover Air Force Base, showing all signs he has just suffered a stroke and can barely function at all. Was it all just a "deep fake" or a "cheap fake?" Take a good look at how he's holding his left hand, where the fingers are unnaturally curled inward, and can barely even grasp his Covid face diaper. Covid is likely just a cover story for Biden recovering from a stroke recently, most likely from the stress of his abysmal debate performance.

Will Biden's Withdrawal Mean the End of Corruption Investigation? After an agonizing three-week wait that started with Joe Biden's train wreck debate, Biden, or whoever acts on his behalf, has decided to throw in the towel. But Biden will not go right away. We'll have to wait until January until he's gone. Contrary to the media's pronouncements that Biden honorably stepped away from power, he is holding on to power. The only thing he stepped away from is getting humiliated in the November 5 election. But eventually, he will be gone, and there will be a new president. What will this mean for investigating Biden family corruption? Will those problems go away with him?

Biden lectured us from the Oval Office about honesty, but the truth is that he's lied to the world. For the umpteenth time, President Joe Biden has shown America that he's no longer fit to serve. Not that you'd know it from the glowing coverage of his all-too-brief primetime address on Wednesday night, slurring and audibly gulping his way through the most consequential and historic speech of his political career. 'When you elected me... I promised to always level with you,' Biden said from the Oval Office. 'To tell you the truth.' The truth? This is a president who has spent the last four years lying about his physical health and cognitive fitness. A president who terrified the world with his debate performance against former president Donald Trump in June. A president who had to be pushed to stand down — and, when he finally did, released a typewritten letter with a digital signature. It didn't even have an official letterhead, or an accompanying photo or video. But sure, let's have the sitting US president, a proven liar who had to be shoved out the door by Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, lecture us on honesty, democracy, and the indispensable need for integrity.

The Biden presidency is ending as dishonestly as it began. "I made some mistakes," said Joe Biden. "But now, the exaggerated shadow of those mistakes has begun to obscure the essence of my candidacy and the essence of Joe Biden." That was in 1987, when the then Senator had to quit his presidential campaign after being caught plagiarising speeches by Neil Kinnock, Bobby Kennedy and John F Kennedy. Last night, for the first time since his announcement on Sunday that he is withdrawing from the 2024 presidential election, Biden addressed the nation from behind the Resolute Desk. "I've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation," he said. Appropriately enough, that was another line ripped off from John F Kennedy's inaugural address. Biden is now a shadow of his former self, yet his essence remains. He didn't talk about mistakes this time. Yet his capacity for self-delusion is as strong as ever. "I believe my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for America's future, all merited a second term," he said.

Who Engineered the Political Coup Against Biden? [Scroll down] And the first question that needs to be answered, and which no one in the mainstream media is asking, is "Who convinced Joe Biden that debating Trump on June 27, nearly two months before the Democratic convention, was a good idea?" This was unprecedented. Usually, the major-party candidates don't meet on stage until September. Of course, if the first debate had been in September, and Biden had suffered the same kind of embarrassment that happened in June, the Democrats would have had no recourse except to suck it up and ride with Biden to defeat. But they didn't wait. Someone talked Biden into challenging Trump to a debate so early that it provided the only viable path to supplanting Biden as the Democratic nominee. Given what we learned after the debate — that dozens of those closest to Biden were convinced that he had suffered irreparable cognitive decline — we are forced to ask who led the president to the slaughter, politically.

Never Underestimate Joe's Ability To Foul Things Up. Not long after the global temperature, which doesn't actually exist in any statistically meaningful way, blew through the mark at which we are supposed to start burning, and days after a new paper showed that the global warming narrative is exactly backward, the Biden administration awarded $4.3 billion in climate grants. It's the work of an incompetent. [...] Over his three years and six months as president, Joe has amply demonstrated that Obama was correct. And he did it again this week, when his Environmental Protection Agency announced its "selected recipients of over $4.3 billion in Climate Pollution Reduction Grants to implement community-driven solutions that tackle the climate crisis, reduce air pollution, advance environmental justice, and accelerate America's clean energy transition."

The Fate of Kamala Harris. Over the weekend, Joe Biden found himself stranded in the political wilderness, long on detractors but short on friends. Facing insurmountable odds, Biden folded his hand and, giving only one minute's heads-up to his staff, notified the world that his campaign for a second term was over. He intends to remain in office for the final few months but the House speaker, The National Review, and others are calling for him to skip the curtain call, exit stage left, and retreat to the beaches of Delaware. At this point, could someone please help this man receive the elder care that he so desperately needs?

Joe Biden proves he is still alive:
Biden, 81, doesn't mention his health or give any more details on why he suddenly dropped out. President Joe Biden, 81, didn't mention any concerns about his heatlh or divulge additional details about why he suddenly dropped out of the 2024 presidential race during his 11-minute Oval Office address. The clearest he got to an explanation was that he didn't want 'ambition' to get in the way of his goal of 'saving' democracy — coded language for not wanting to see former President Donald Trump win another term. Biden's formal address comes 28 days after his disastrous debate performance that put his reelection bid in peril.

Biden Passes the Torch, Vows To Cure Cancer in Slurred Primetime Address. President Joe Biden refused to resign on Wednesday, but finally explained his decision to begrudgingly "pass the torch" after losing a bitter power struggle with Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats who forced him to end his bid for reelection. Speaking from the Oval Office, surrounded by family and loved ones, Biden praised his accomplishments, as well as his selfless decision to withdraw from the race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Even though he clearly didn't want to, Biden congratulated himself for having the courage to "unite my party" and "defend democracy" by stepping aside. "I believe my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for America's future, all merited a second term," he said. "But nothing — nothing — can come in the way of saving our democracy. That includes personal ambition. So I decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation."

The Editor says...
The last time the Democrats "pass[ed] the torch to a new generation," we ended up with Barack H. Obama.

Who shall be held to account for the Joe Biden hologram? Biden's steeply and rapidly declining infirmity, and wholesale erosion of cognitive capacity — obvious to at least half of Americans paying even glancing attention — has been known by Democrat party operatives inside the White House, throughout the Executive Branch, and in the Senate and the House since Biden was inaugurated in 2021 — all accompanied by an orchestrated media cover-up eclipsing those pernicious concealments of Woodrow Wilson's and FDR's disabilities. Perhaps equally breathtaking is the ease with which Republicans acquiesced, cooperated, and facilitated the greatest fraud ever foisted upon the American electorate. Who shall be held to account for the Joe Biden hologram deceiving a nation? No one. Why? Because half of all Americans don't know or don't care that they've been had, happy to live in a bubble of illusions, where discerning the truth is hard and disagreeable, whereas embracing deceptions is easy and noble.

What WAS That? Political junkies [...] tuned in Wednesday night [7/24/2024] for an Oval Office speech by Joe Biden, who was supposedly going to explain why he abandoned his reelection efforts despite vociferously assuring us for months that there was no chance that he would do so. Would the president deliver moving remarks, would he bring the country together in the way that Ronald Reagan did after the Challenger disaster or George W. Bush did after 9/11? Would he come clean on his health issues, which are so obvious to any sentient American, would he fully reveal his thought process surrounding the monumental decision to give up on his campaign? Would he explain how he's still capable of running the country for six more months despite the fact that he's now essentially a lame duck? No, no, no, and no. He did none of those things. In fact, it was an inexplicable, sleep-inducing monologue that tried to throw in all sorts of high-minded ideals like "Democracy" and "who we are" but essentially said nothing.

Biden mumbles as he reveals why he decided to 'pass the torch'. President Joe Biden mumbled his way through an 11-minute farewell address to the nation and claimed he could have served another four years if he wanted to. Biden, 81, spoke quietly, at times haltingly, and his voice was scratchy as he explained his stunning decision not to seek reelection. The President said he had chosen to 'pass the torch' to Vice President Kamala Harris because it was time for 'younger voices' and he believed that would 'unite' the country and 'save' democracy.

A Confused Joe Biden Gives Address to the Nation, Only Deepens the Scandal Around Him and Kamala Harris. After several very confusing days, Joe Biden finally emerged on Wednesday after dropping out of the presidential race over the weekend. Appearing very frail, the president addressed the nation from the Oval Office in what was billed as an explanation of why he abruptly stepped aside as the Democratic Party nominee. Unfortunately, though perhaps expectedly, Biden provided no real information at all. In fact, his clearly deteriorating condition combined with the things he said only served to deepen the scandal around him and Kamala Harris. Who is actually the president? Why is he remaining in office if he can't run for a second term? To illustrate the absurdity at play, Biden essentially argued that he's such an amazing president and so capable of serving a second term that he dropped out to "unite my party." None of this makes any sense.

Hunter Biden's Legal Team Just Got Scorched by Judge for Making False Statements in CA Tax Case. Ouch! That's the only thing I could think to say in response to reading the order handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Mark Scarsi on Wednesday requiring Hunter Biden's legal team to show cause why they should not be sanctioned for making false statements in their recently filed motion to dismiss. While Hunter was presumably focused on his father's Oval Office address, his attorneys were getting lit up by a federal judge.

Everything connected to Washington and the Democratic Party stinks like a rotting corpse. [Scroll down] Meanwhile, the president vanished for almost six days, with no pictures or video of any kind, even as he announced his withdrawal as presidential candidate. It is no surprise rumors began to fly that he had suffered a much more serious medical emergency then simply getting COVID again, with some even speculating that he was actually dead, and that a palace coup had taken place. He apparently is not dead, but it is also a fact that a palace coup might have occurred anyway. At the same time, isn't it interesting that only two days after Joe Biden withdraws from the presidential race his Justice Department was suddenly able to find the transcripts of special counsel Robert Hur's interviews with Biden that prove he is "a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." For months Justice has stonewalled Freedom of Information requests from numerous news outlets, claiming it didn't have those transcripts. Now, when it no longer matters, Justice locates them. How convenient. All in all, the whole situation stinks, reeking of lies, cover-ups, incompetence, and dishonesty, all for the sake of power and factional warfare.

Does Biden Even Know He's Not Running For President Anymore? It wasn't until Joe Biden's X account posted a statement Sunday afternoon that some of the president's staff found out he would not be running for reelection, Politico reported. But are we sure the post wasn't news to Joe too? A few minutes before 2:00 p.m., Biden's X account posted an image of a letterhead document announcing he would "stand down" from the 2024 campaign. The note said Biden would "speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision." Half an hour later, a post offered his "full support and endorsement" to Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democrat nominee. Biden, who is supposedly dealing with a Covid infection, has yet to be seen alive, much less conduct a press conference. His public schedule indicates he's been at his Rehoboth Beach house in Deleware since Thursday. Biden's last address to the nation was one week ago, after former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt. The only communication America has ostensibly received from the president about his bombshell news is via a social media post.

Biden's Drop Out Leaves No Doubt: It's 25th Amendment Time. In announcing he would no longer be the Democrats' presidential candidate on Sunday, Joe Biden professed he was doing so because he believed it "in the best interest of [his] party and the country." While Biden did not elaborate further on his reasoning, he promised to address the country later this week with more details about his decision. When he eventually addresses the nation, Biden will likely portray himself as a modern-day hero, withdrawing from the race to protect America from the existential threat of Donald Trump. Whether Biden mentions his horrible debate performance remains to be seen, but if he does, the president will surely frame the spectacle as he has over the last three weeks: as a mistake, a bad night, or caused by jet lag or by Trump's off-mic interruptions. Left unsaid will be the fact that party insiders and Democrat mega-donors forced Biden to step down out of fear Trump would win the presidency again.

How History Will Remember Biden. History will record that Biden himself oversaw a massive increase in the debt — which as of last Friday had increased approximately $7.1923 trillion during his term. That will not be the only negative mark on Biden's legacy. Biden picked Sept. 11, 2021 — the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks — as the deadline for U.S. troops to withdraw from Afghanistan. [...] Biden will leave the presidency after one term. But decades from now, history will recall the massive debt he accumulated, his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the border he did not secure, and the innocent lives his policies worked to destroy.

Trump's Courage and Biden's Failures. The Biden gaffes, the falls, the offensive stroking and kissing, the gibberish, the endless stream of "whatevers," the dazed and uncomprehending looks, the creeping instead of walking, the lashing out in anger, the bewilderment, and the shaking hands with invisible persons in the air have all served as incredible distractions and evidence of a leader who, sadly, is non compos mentis. Nevertheless, until the Trump-Biden televised debate, many of the pundits on mainstream media including those on CNN and MSNBC, continually denied the fragility and lack of coherence of our President. [...] To have a chief executive who is manifestly unfit for decision-making is offensive and dangerous for the country and for the world. Where is "the buck stops here" individual who was, in the minds of those who voted for him, supposed to lead the country for four years?

Deep State Carnival Barkers Distract Us with Kamala. Democrats widely praise Joe Biden as the smartest, most energetic, most effective president in American history. In a shocking turn of events for those drinking that mind-altering Kool-Aid, Joe Biden outs himself as a dementia-riddled imbecile at the June 27 presidential debate — the earliest scuffle between presumptive nominees in recent history. Bipolar Democrats turn on a dime and demand that their damaged candidate bow out of the race. [...] Finally, after repeatedly refusing to withdraw from the presidential contest despite growing calls for him to do so, Biden hurriedly announces on a Sunday afternoon that he supports VP Kamala Harris running in his place. Is Biden alive? Is he okay? Who cares? Giddy Democrats are too busy shrieking with delight and pondering the possibility of a multi-racial "Madam President."

Where's Joe? What's Going On? Is Any of This Really Happening? Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday afternoon. Everyone saw his post on X. In a follow-up message on X, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidential nomination, and Democrat leaders began lining up (with the notable exception of Barack Obama) to endorse her. [...] But the public has not seen Biden since he was announced as having come down with COVID last Wednesday and retired to his taxpayer-funded walled Delaware beach house. Shouldn't Biden have made such a momentous announcement before the cameras? If he is too ill to do so, couldn't we at the very least have some still photos that make it clear that this is a decision he has actually made? After all, he was insisting right up until quite recently that he was planning to stay in the race and win. There is an uneasy banana-republic feel to this whole thing. A president whose own base has turned against him comes down with a disease that many have noted has all the strength of the common cold at this point. Nevertheless, he treats it as if he had gotten the bubonic plague and immediately goes out of sight.

Frank Biden Made Stunning Admission About Joe's Health Indicating We've Been Lied To — Then It Gets Weird. Over and over and over again, we were told by the White House that Joe Biden's health was just fine. That he was old, he had some minor issues, but he was basically fine. We of course knew that wasn't true, given what we've seen day after day, watching his incoherence and confusion. But they've been selling us this fiction for months as he campaigned. But now Frank Biden, Joe Biden's brother, has made a concerning comment about Joe's health that's going to cause even more questions. CBS White House Correspondent Nancy Cordes reported late Sunday that Frank said that his brother's health was definitely a factor in the decision: [Tweet with video clip]

Sources Say Joe Biden Suffered Neurological Event Before Suddenly Leaving Las Vegas. Nearly a week ago President Joe Biden abruptly canceled a speaking engagement in Las Vegas after mingling with voters at a local Mexican restaurant, the event organizers being the first to announce that Biden had tested positive for COVID and explaining that he was flying to his Delaware beach house to isolate. In light of the Biden administration's poor record of truth-telling when it comes to POTUS' medical condition, many people questioned whether that COVID diagnosis was a convenient way to get Biden out of the spotlight for a few days, or if there was more to the story. Based on the reporting of Charlie Kirk and Jordan Schachtel, portions of which were confirmed independently by RedState's Brittany Sheehan, and exclusive details provided to RedState by a well-placed credible source, it seems that skepticism was justified. According to these sources, Biden had a sudden medical emergency and was headed toward University Medical Center trauma center before his team decided to "medivac" him out instead, and that medical emergency was some type of neurological event like a transient ischemic attack.

Biden Suffered Medical Emergency Which Led to Abrupt 2024 Exit. In a twist that sounds more like a plotline from a medical drama than real life, new details are emerging about Joe Biden's reported recent health crisis in Las Vegas. The 81-year-old President, who recently announced he would not be seeking re-election, reportedly suffered a medical emergency that left political pundits and the public alike buzzing with speculation. On Sunday, Biden made the surprising announcement that he would not run for re-election in 2024, citing the "best interest of my party and the country" as his rationale. This decision followed a series of troubling events that began during his trip to Las Vegas. According to a source close to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, Biden faced an "emergency situation" requiring immediate medical attention.

Where's the President? Biden MIA After Bailing From His Campaign. President Joe Biden hasn't been seen in public since last week when the White House announced he contracted COVID-19 and was headed to his Delaware beach house to recover. "Earlier today following his first event in Las Vegas, President Biden tested positive for COVID-19. He is vaccinated and boosted and he is experiencing mild symptoms. He will be returning to Delaware where he will self-isolate and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. The White House will provide regular updates on the President's status as he continues to carry out the full duties of the office while in isolation," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre released in a statement on July 17. [Tweet]

The Editor says...
From where I'm sitting, this story looks like a pack of lies. If the POTUS had a "vaccine" and a booster, how did he get Covid? Do the shots work, or do they not? Mr. Biden is the most isolated man in the country, so who gave him Covid? If Covid is his greatest medical issue, why did he suddenly disappear? There's more going on here than Covid. It would be easier to believe that Mr. Biden had a stroke in Las Vegas. It would be easier to believe that Mr. Biden is gravely ill, if not already dead. (Update: I was wrong — he recorded an "Oval Office address" which was played back on the evening of July 24, 2024 — probably while Biden slept.)

Democracy is Under Attack, But Not By Trump. We, as a nation, dangerously accepted long ago, without any noteworthy resistance, that it was too implausible for Joe Biden given his obvious mental incapacitation, to be calling the shots. While that conclusion was easy to draw, we should have never accepted anyone — whether it be Barack Obama, confirmed as a key player and driving force behind Biden's ouster, the Clinton-Soros duo who quickly endorsed Kamala and undoubtedly wield influence through their "charitable" foundations, or even a faceless shadow government — to lead us from behind the scenes. Nowhere in the Constitution does it make room for such a mob-rule style agreement.

The coup and the country. The coup d'état against President Biden illuminates the themes exposited in the essay on Senator J.D. Vance's thought and rhetoric, to which I refer the reader. Coup terminology in this case is not overwrought: a sitting President of the United States has had his political future terminated, which means his political present is ended as well. Absent potential there is no power, and therefore no purpose. The logical corollary to the immediate end of his campaign therefore ought to be the immediate end of his Presidency. [...] Joseph R. Biden at midafternoon Sunday lost the ability to do nearly every meaningful thing intrinsic to the Presidency, including real cooperation with the Legislative branch, persuading the nation to make war, and representation of the whole American people in government. What's left is a headless apparatus, dominated but not led — ruled but not governed — by the thousands of functionaries of the administrative state.

Hard to believe:
Biden scheduled for White House return Tuesday after COVID diagnosis, abandoning re-election campaign. President Biden will be back at the White House on Tuesday for the first time since he announced he was abandoning his re-election campaign and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden is scheduled to leave his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware — where he had been recovering from COVID-19 — in the afternoon and arrive at the Executive Mansion by 2:30 p.m., according to his schedule. The 81-year-old president was originally expected to leave the beach town, where he had been under quarantine, on Monday to hit the campaign trail, but he extended his stay after announcing that he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race the day before.

Biden's surprise call to old campaign staff is labelled fake after viewers spot suspicious detail. Joe Biden's phone call to former campaign staffers on Monday has sparked new theories on the president's health after an odd moment between the president and Kamala Harris. The 81-year-old spoke in a scratchy voice from COVID isolation at his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, home and told Harris: 'I'm watching you, kid'. However, many noted a strange exchange between the vice president and her boss, who has not been seen in five days and since he shocked the world by dropping out of the race via a letter posted to social media on Sunday. The new presumptive Democratic nominee Harris said: 'Joe, I know you're still on the rec... on the call.' With many having wildly suggested Biden is seriously ill because of the way he announced his departure, conservative firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene wondered if the game had been given up by Harris' slip of the tongue.

Biden cancels nine trips, extends Delaware stay after dropping out of 2024 race. President Biden has canceled nine trips that were scheduled for the next two weeks after suddenly dropping out of the 2024 race, The [New York] Post can reveal. Biden was scheduled to leave Monday for the West Coast, where he was to make stops in California, Denver, Houston and Austin — but all those trips have been canceled, a White House source told The Post. Biden, who has been isolating with COVID-19, was set to leave his home in Rehoboth, Del., on Monday, but extended his stay until Wednesday after announcing the end of his campaign the night before.

Joe Biden's Final Humiliation and the Fight Ahead. Alleged President Joe Biden's cowardly capitulation to the will of the Democrat elite validated the cruel truth that we have always known about him — and that he has always known about himself. He's a quitter. He's a loser. He's weak, and he's stupid, the Democrat Party's Fredo, given — by default — responsibility beyond running a nightclub out in the boondocks or picking somebody up from the airport and, predictably, botching it. Joe Biden is the ultimate personification of the Peter Principle, the only principle he has ever demonstrated.

Conservatives told the truth about Biden. Democrats failed to listen. If I were a Democrat, I'd be furious right now. As an American, I'm appalled at the way President Joe Biden's exit from the 2024 election, announced Sunday afternoon, has played out. It's far from democratic. Biden should have made this announcement last year, ahead of his party's primaries, when Democratic voters could have had a say about who they want to run against former President Donald Trump. Democrats voted for Biden in large part because there wasn't a robust competition, and Biden's advisers, family and many in the media tried to hide the president's true condition from the public.

The Big Biden Lie, Cont'd. The Wall Street Journal has four bylines and five contributors noted on today's page-one (5,500-word) story "How the Bet on an 81-Year-Old Joe Biden Turned Into an Epic Miscalculation" (behind the Journal paywall). Some call it "miscalculation," and that is the framework the Journal story fills in. None dare call it conspiracy, to borrow a phrase. The "miscalculation" to which the headline refers would more accurately be described as the Democrats' bet that President Biden's patent incapacity could be covered up as long as necessary: [Excerpt from WSJ] [...] The story of the Biden administration, if not the 2020 presidential campaign, is the story of the cover-up of Biden's senility.

Where is Joe? After pulling out of the presidential race Sunday, many political observers are asking, "Where's Joe?" After all, the pullout was highly irregular, with no camera appearances, no evidence of even involvement from Biden, no press conferences. There was just a written statement with a mechanized signature. Is the guy even alive? Is he in some kind of health distress? That he has staffers covering for him certainly sets off an alarm of sorts, given his dementia. And more to the point, is this something he was forced into doing against his will? Some observers think so, saying he was muscled into exiting with a warning that the 25th Amendment was waiting for him if he didn't. It sounds very mafia-like. [Numerous tweets] Whatever it is, it isn't healthy for our democracy, and it's hard to think of any examples like this from America's past that resemble so closely the death of Andropov, or Konstantin Chernenko, or Boris Yeltsin's final days, or those of Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez. Dictators like those like to hide what's going on when an oligarch is dying. As for Joe, well, where is he?

Biden Reported to Be Gravely Ill, If Not Dead Already. After more than a day elapsed without compelling proof of life from President Joe Biden, and with various hints from the White House that he may be in deteriorating condition, some have begun to speculate that the president may not survive. It comes after reports that the illness first claimed to be COVID-19 in Las Vegas was likely more serious. [Tweet] On the Wednesday of the medical emergency, Biden was in a Mexican restaurant when "all hell broke loose," according to The Dossier. "Far from a case of the sniffles, this was sent out on encrypted police airwaves as if something akin to a five-alarm fire had broken out," it said. Biden initially had been set to go to the hospital before he was instead transferred to Air Force One for the flight back to Delaware, where he has reportedly been convalescing ever since, for nearly a week. On Sunday, he unexpectedly dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, although many noted that the letter he posted to X was not on official letterhead and it did not appear to be his signature.

Is President Biden Alive? I don't want to start the morning off with hyperbole or sensationalism, honestly, but rather with what, in my opinon, has developed as a legitimate question over the last 24 to 48 hours: is the current President of the United States still alive and/or fit to lead? Ever since dropping out of the presidential race on Sunday via a letter with a signature that has been in question and conspicuously lacking the seal of the White House or President of the United States, President Joe Biden has failed to turn up anywhere in person. [Exhibit] The swift decision to drop out of the race, combined with the announcement last week that Biden tested positive for Covid and would "self-isolate" — which incidentally came out after Biden said he would consider dropping out if it were due to a 'medical condition' — combined with endless unproven rumors swirling on social media about a medical emergency, have left people no choice but to sadly consider a worst-case scenario. Since Biden was last spotted on July 17 exiting Air Force One, he hasn't been seen publicly, though reports have put him at his home "recovering" in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

If Biden's Supposedly 'Recovering Fast' From COVID, Why Did He Cancel All These Trips? President Joe Biden's personal physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, shared an update earlier in a letter shared by the White House. Biden supposedly "continues to perform all of his presidential duties," O'Connor also noted. His letters have mentioned such a detail for days. As Katie mentioned in her piece about such an update from Monday, Biden "is feeling much better and recovering fast," per Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Biden endorsed to replace him not long after he dropped out of the race on Sunday. Even still, Biden is canceling multiple trips, per the New York Post. [Advertisement] [Tweet] As of Monday night, nine trips have been canceled over the next two weeks, which includes "last-minute" cancelations.

Exclusive: President Biden suffered an undisclosed medical emergency during his time in Las Vegas, police sources say. On Wednesday [7/17/2024], Biden was scheduled to deliver the keynote at the UnidosUS annual convention at the MGM Grand, with thousands in attendance anticipating his arrival. With the venue located right off the Las Vegas Strip, the president's security detail and motorcade required massive outside support from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. President Biden did not appear at the convention, or any of his scheduled events later that afternoon. Instead, he left town, departing Las Vegas on Air Force One for Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where he remains today. Since that trip to Las Vegas, President Biden has announced over social media that he would not seek a second term as president, while throwing his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination. President Biden has not been seen in photos or on video since he touched down in Delaware Wednesday night, though he did participate in a phone call with Kamala Harris earlier this evening.

Joe Biden Was Never Fit To Be President. President Joe Biden formally announced in a letter on Sunday that he will indulge Democrat politicians' and donors' soft coup-like demands to "stand down" and hand the reins of his 2024 reelection campaign to Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden did not specify exactly why he believes it is in "the best interest of my party and the country" to retire from running for office. The decision to do so, however, is obviously linked to the left's collective choice to stop covering up the president's obvious physical and mental decline because they know he hurts their chances of winning the upcoming election. There is a growing chorus of Republican lawmakers who say suddenly deeming Biden unfit to run for a second term despite primary voters' wishes means he is also unfit to finish out the last six months of his presidency. Former President Donald Trump took it further in a Truth Social post on Sunday when he declared that Biden "was not fit to serve from the very beginning."

It's Hoaxes All the Way Down. [Scroll down] Now, in the span of 8 days, we are faced with two extraordinary events that on their face are so shocking and unlikely that you have to wonder what the real facts are. [...] Extraordinary event #2 is President Biden's impersonal withdrawal from the race. In all his public appearances, he insisted he was remaining in the race, and all the back room stories pretty much confirmed this. His campaign was canvassing delegates WHILE HE WAS ANNOUNCING HIS WITHDRAWAL, and almost all his aides learned from Twitter that he was dropping out. [Tweet] He announced his withdrawal with a letter, and has not been seen for days. We are at the point where people are asking for "proof of life," and that is amazing. We do get a short letter from his physician. How comforting. [Tweet] Nobody is sure that the president is even alive because we haven't seen him. It's bizarre. We haven't seen Jill either. The only Biden we have actually heard from is Joe's brother Frank, who said Biden's health was a factor in his leaving and implied he had a terminal illness. He was viciously attacked by Biden's aides.

Charting A New Course. For the first time in American history, the nation is literally leaderless, no obvious chain of command exists. Joe Biden, having dropped out of the campaign for president with a one page memo, with no Biden-Harris letterhead and a suspiciously divergent signature could have been drafted and distributed by anyone who had access to his Twitter account. Joe has not been seen, he gave no national address and the identity of whoever has been playing the part of Joe Biden for the past several years has always been suspect to me. The shape of the head keeps changing, the eyebrows are different, the eyes are different, but I've never made such a big deal of that, because what difference would it make if everyone around Washington and the White House agrees to the fraud? Is he still the president, if he ever was? Did he drop out of the campaign or the official office? Does he know the difference?

Joe Biden Drops out. Today's decision was all but a certainty after his performance in the first debate, where he was a confused and incoherent mess. A far cry from the man the New York Times described last year as a "super-ager." Not that he (or the first lady) wanted to give up — it took a push from Democratic leadership and Hollywood icons and wealthy donors. Political death by a thousand cuts to the man who still believes, to this day, that he is the Democrats' best chance to defeat Donald Trump. We guessed that the DNC may have used their rules to take out Biden after the nomination but things couldn't wait.

Good News for Democrats: Throw the Polls Out, Start All Over. First let's go over what we know about Biden Dropping out,
[#1] Biden unexpectedly dropped out today with an official letter that did not endorse Kamala Harris.
[#2] In a subsequent Tweet, Biden did endorse Harris.
[#3] The New York Times commented that we do not know who wrote Biden's letter.
[#4] Democrats are headed for an open convention but Harris is the presumed favorite.
[#5] Biden (or whoever is calling the shots for him) finally realized that Biden staying in the race would be a disaster. Bide[n] was trailing in nearly every major poll.
[#6] Billionaire donors pulled the plug on contributions until Biden stepped out. [...]
How Does This Change the Odds? Actually, no one knows. The reason we do not know is things change when they morph from hypothetical to reality.

The Biden Campaign and the Knives in the Senate. On Sunday, July 21, 2024, the White House issued a written statement in which Joe Biden announced that he was withdrawing from his reelection campaign, while intending to remain in office for the six remaining months of this term. The announcement followed days of reports — both off the record and on — that Biden's former allies, his fellow party bosses, everyone but his family, was trying to convince him to end his campaign. [...] Perhaps they put the letter in one of those padded blue folders when they handed it to him, so that he'd think he was just signing another unconstitutional executive order, like so many dozens before. He always signed those, without question.

Biden's legacy is a world in flames. The praise for Biden is tantamount to a eulogy, making it somehow in bad taste to criticize him. That's just a smokescreen. He's still very much alive, and with his vice president the person most likely to succeed him as the Democratic nominee, an honest evaluation of his record is vital. Nor is the idea that someone spending a half-century in political office is an indication of virtue. Like many other longtime members of the House and Senate, Biden never really held an honest job in his life; his positions as a senator and then as vice president did allow his family to peddle influence at home and abroad, making all of them wealthy. Moreover, the notion that he is a wonderful person or a centrist who epitomizes the best aspects of public service is belied by his record of meanness and contempt for opponents. He assisted in the slandering of the likes of Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas and even the uber-moderate Mitt Romney, whom he memorably accused of being prepared to put African-Americans "back in chains."

If Biden Cannot Run For Office, Then He Cannot Remain In Office. Democrats successfully launched a soft coup against President Joe Biden after his senility became a political liability, with Biden announcing he would no longer seek the party's nomination. But if Biden cannot run for office due to the severe cognitive decline displayed during the debate, then dropping out of the nomination process isn't enough. If Biden is too senile to run for president, he is too senile to remain in office.

Speaker Johnson Calls on Biden to Resign. In light of Joe Biden's announced withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race Sunday afternoon, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) called for Biden to resign the presidency "immediately." [Tweet] An intense pressure campaign waged by Biden's fellow Democrats culminated Sunday afternoon in his announcement he would not seek re-election despite recent numerous statements to the contrary from his campaign. In 2020, Biden said given his age he would be a one-term president.

Biden should resign immediately. He was the weakest president in the history of the republic. When a little pressure was applied, not surprisingly, he caved. For the last few years, walking seemed to take every bit of his concentration. During the debate, he would lose his train of thought so frequently that he looked like he had full-on dementia. So, he needs to go — now! There are too many conflicts both nationally and internationally for a president who can't even remember the name of his own Secretary of State. Weakness in politics is like blood in a river filled with piranha. During the Republican National Convention, Trump argued the war in the Ukraine and the war in Gaza would not have happened if he were still the president, and he was right. Biden is weak. Biden always has been weak.

Biden's Parting Gift to the Democrat Establishment. As many have expected, Joe Biden has withdrawn from the presidential race. His timing is perfect to allow a high-stakes event at the convention next month where the party's new candidate will be anointed. All evidence suggests that he didn't withdraw willingly, and some have even theorized that the announcement went out without his approval or knowledge. Whether the latter is true or not is largely irrelevant, because what appears certain is that Biden was the victim of a coup orchestrated by several nefarious conspirators. [...] With the last gasp of his campaign, he emphatically endorsed Kamala Harris to replace himself on the ticket. He simultaneously ended his own political future while severely wounding the enemies who conspired against him.

The Fracturing of the Democrat Party. [Scroll down] It was the liberal wing of the party that effectively drafted a compromised and obviously mentally incapacitated Joe Biden to be the nominee in 2020. They were convinced they could get him elected by exploiting the coronavirus lockdowns in order to institute mass mail-in voting, manipulate the voting laws of various states, and unleash ballot harvesting and voter fraud. But above all they were certain they could control Biden and his administration. They succeeded in getting Biden elected. However, they failed to consider Biden's lifelong duplicity and dishonor, as it was not the liberal wing of the party that would control Biden and his administration but the Marxist wing that dominates his administration and effectively blackmails him into enacting their policies.

The Elites Just Pulled off a Real Attack on Democracy. Well, they did it. I wasn't sure they were going to be able to given the stubbornness of Joe Biden, and even more than that, Jill Biden. But once Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Barack Obama were working on the matter, it was likely only a matter of time and working out the "deal" behind the scenes. The donors pulling out was the real kiss of death for his campaign. That's the other thing I'd really like to know — did they offer a sweetener to get him out, or was it just threats to embarrass him that made him come to the decision? Interestingly, his letter announcing the decision praised Kamala Harris but did not endorse her. But then he posted a subsequent tweet indicating his support. That must have been a bitter pill for Jill. Some joked, did he know he was endorsing Kamala since that was in the letter? And it's ridiculous that it comes through a letter, given his last live comments were all about how he wanted to stay in. It's all beyond squirrelly.

Joe, did you just break up with us — by text? No press conference? No teleprompter speech from the Oval Office? Not even one from his Delaware basement? It's bad enough to be Starbucked. We've been texted. Oh, I know there's the story that he has a bout of COVID, which is why he's retreated to the basement again (though we were also told the symptoms were mild). But wait? Wasn't he vaccinated with that stuff that makes it impossible to get COVID?

There's a hidden message in Biden's humiliating withdrawal letter. What a disgraceful end to a disgraceful presidency. Rather than exit this presidential race with dignity, rather than show long-suffering Americans the respect we deserve, President Joe Biden hastily declared he's out — on social media. Joe Biden's ghosted us! LBJ in 1968 this is not. In fact, this withdrawal — in tone, tenor, shame, and bitterness — calls to mind none other than Richard Nixon's resignation. Biden has humiliated himself, the nation, the Democratic elites, megadonors and liberal-media enablers who spent years covering for him. And he didn't even initially endorse his Vice President! Someone had to clean up Aisle 9 on X with a hasty follow-up Kamala endorsement tweet.

Biden drops out of presidential race after Democratic revolt following disastrous debate. President Biden made the unprecedented decision Sunday to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, less than four months after being declared the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee and just weeks after a dismal debate showing. "It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President," the 81-year-old embattled commander-in- chief wrote in a remarkable letter that he addressed to "My Fellow Americans." "And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.["]

The Biden Family [is] Fighting the DNC Apparatus to Remain in Power. That's the essential message coming from the latest developments per the framework pushed by the professionally democrat. The Washington Post (CIA/IC) frames the battle of the selfish Biden family against the goals of an altruistic DNC corporation (Obama/Pelosi). The wounds being suffered by the magnanimous heir apparent Kamala are unfair; at least, that's the useful presentation for those who control the left-wing of the club. Joe Biden is essentially, at his core, the purist manifestation of a Democrat. The internecine battle underway was created by the Corporation putting one of their toxic generals in charge of the organization. In the foreign version of the same dynamic, the same people once installed Mohamed Morsi as the President of Egypt. However, when the blood began flowing on the streets, they didn't have to worry about it because it was over there. In the domestic version, they want the creep they installed gone now, but he ain't leaving. Not without a fight, or a bottomless treasury, whichever comes first.

The Final Days: A Bitter, Resentful Biden Slow-Walks His Exit From the Campaign. Democratic voters overwhelmingly chose Joe Biden to run for president as their standard bearer. Of course, he didn't have any competition. Any Democrat of stature — Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren — refused to take him on, and besides, none of them could make the argument they were any younger than the president. Now the "party of the little guy" is ejecting the people's choice for president because the elites are struck dumb with terror at the prospect of being swamped in the House and Senate races this fall. As long as it was just Biden's hide on the line, the elites could accept a close loss to Trump as long as the party still had a shot at keeping the Senate and taking back the House. Now those chances are being flushed down the drain, and democracy [notwithstanding], Biden's got to go. Almost every leading Democrat has now either come out publicly and asked Biden to step aside or told him in private that he couldn't win and needed to give way to someone else.

The last (presidential) days of Joe Biden. Biden's word-finding and cognitive processing appear to have become so poor that he is regularly unsure of what he's trying to say or is saying. "Whatever" and "anyway" buy his brain time to catch up. They're bridges through the nowhere of his mind. What's particularly worrisome is not only the frequency of these flubs but that Biden is now having them over and over even when he is reading from a teleprompter. [...] These are no longer gaffes. They call into question Biden's basic ability to think. Yesterday, in the New Yorker, Dr. Dhruv Khallar wrote he had spoken to nine other physicians and that "almost all were concerned that Biden's symptoms might go beyond a gradual, aging-related decline." The piece uses the word "dementia" only once, not in direct reference to Biden (this is still The New Yorker, a house organ for the elite left). But the physicians clearly worry Biden has diagnosable dementia.

Slowly, Then All at Once. There was a lot of talk about divine intervention at the Republican Convention this week. The country has witnessed a rush of seemingly providential events since the fateful night of June 27th when, to universal horror, "Joe Biden" was unmasked as The Phantom of the White House. [...] The party big dawgs have paid their terminal visit to the old grifter bringing the sad news that it's over. Of course, this excites several new headaches for them. Foremost: how can "JB" bow out of the election on account of mental infirmity but still remain president? Even if they call it something else, make some other excuse, the whole world knows now that the president is gone in the head. There are six months remaining to the end of his term and a lot of urgent issues requiring a president's attention. You can be sure that pressure will rise to shove him out of office altogether.

Obama Lied to Everyone About Biden's Senility at Infamous L.A. Fundraiser. The push to get Joe Biden out of the 2024 presidential race continues. The New York Times is now reporting that Obama himself saw how senile the president was at an infamous Los Angeles fundraiser back in mid-June. At the time, essentially all mainstream press outlets rushed to dismiss the viral video showing Biden freezing for multiple seconds on stage before being led off by the former president. [Tweet] That incident began the now-defunct "cheap-fakes" campaign from the White House. [...] I want to point out the obvious here. When given the chance to tell the truth, Obama and his underlings lied to everyone. They didn't just abstain from commenting on Biden's troubles at the fundraiser. They came out publicly and countered them. They claimed that anyone who pointed out his senility was pushing disinformation, giving the press everything they needed to run with the "cheap-fakes" nonsense.

The Importance of Official Utterances. It was on the 8th of July, 2024, that our president uttered the following words: "I have one job, and that's to beat Donald Trump. I'm absolutely certain I'm the best person to be able to do that. So, we're done talking about the debate, it's time to put Trump in a bullseye," It was on July 13, just five days later, that Thomas Crooks did just that. Can we prove that Old Joe
[#1] Knew what he was saying,
[#2] Realized that someone might take him up on it, or
[#3] Had it all planned out ahead of time?
Of course not. Not yet, anyway. [...] We can't say Biden caused this — proximity is not causality. However, we have an irresponsible, mindless idiot in the Oval Office and he's likely to say or do anything. He might, as commander in chief, give an order that will set off a whole firestorm of death and destruction. We also don't know who's playing puppeteer. Whose words are issuing forth from Old Joe?

What Biden Campaign Is Telling Its Staff. One of the problems with Joe Biden has always been is that he doesn't live in reality. He makes up things that aren't true, in order to pander to audiences or to pump himself up. He verbally attacks people who dare to challenge him, He often responds with lies. But that not living in reality has carried over to his team and his family, I think, when it comes to the present situation that he's in, as top Democrats engage in an effort to shove him out. Meanwhile, the leaks about what's going on behind the scenes continue. The campaign had an "all staff call" on Friday to try to pump up the troops, as Matt Vespa at our sister site Townhall reported. The gist of the call? Don't listen to the news. "Don't watch cable news all the time," campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon allegedly told the staff at the campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Who is running the show at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.? The Wall Street Journal's headline describing Biden's disastrous June 27 debate performance states, "Biden Crashes in First Clash with Trump." Biden is obviously having problems and has been since running for office in 2020. After attending a recent G7 summit, the White House decided the president would not to attend a Ukrainian Peace Summit that was being held in Switzerland. After urging from President Zelensky, it was decided that Kamala Harris would attend the summit, because the matters Joe was facing at home were just too pressing to attend a peace summit of world leaders concerning Ukraine. What pressing matter could have pried Biden from attending a peace summit that could possibly prevent World War III? Why, it was a Hollywood election fundraiser orchestrated by George Clooney, Julia Roberts and other "stars" and "elites" to help Joe maintain political power in Washington, D.C. Besides Biden's callousness concerning world peace, also, like The National Interest states, "The Blue-Collar Joe Biden Myth Needs to End."

Chuck Schumer Tells Joe Biden to Resign. While Clyburn and Obama hold the ultimate leverage, Chuck Schumer is aligning all the political daggers. According to multiple media outlets, and seemingly confirmed by the office of the senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer has given Joe Biden advice that it's time to leave. The interesting (inside baseball part) is that Schumer has given media the story. That indicates Joe was resistant to the message, so Chuck goes public.

Report: Biden Will Announce His Withdrawal from Democrat Nomination Sunday. Mark Halperin is pretty dialed in to the deep DNC network, particularly close to the core DNC apparatus. Halperin is saying the plan for Joe Biden to announce his withdrawal from the Democrat nomination is now underway. Biden will announce this weekend, likely Sunday. [Video clip] According to Halperin:
• Joe Biden plans to announce withdrawal from nomination process as early as this weekend, Sunday most likely.
• Biden advisor Jon Meacham polishing up remark for delivery to the nation.
• Joe Biden with [sic] NOT resign the presidency and will finish the remainder of his term.
• Interestingly, Joe Biden will NOT endorse VP Kamala Harris. Biden will let the convention decide.
• There will be an open convention with Kamala Harris and about 3 others on the first ballot.
• The infamous super delegates, deep DNC insiders, will not be allowed to vote on 1st ballot. This point is moot because no one is going to win on the first ballot.

Defiant Biden Handlers Just Threw Obama, Schumer, and Pelosi Under the Bus and Then Backed Over Them. After Joe Biden allegedly contracted COVID and left Las Vegas for his Delaware beach house on Wednesday, much speculation suggested he was preparing to leave the race. Even the betting markets shifted, showing the probability of Biden dropping out at an all-time high. That was exacerbated by an interview where the president said he would drop out if a medical issue arose.

25th Amendment Time? The panic in the Democrat Party keeps ramping up, and that is pretty amazing. I thought it hit a fever pitch last week. But no, things keep getting worse for the Democrats, and Biden keeps saying he is staying in the race. Nothing has been floated in the media yet, but you can be sure that by now many Democrats are talking about a palace coup — not by the Democrat National Committee or the delegates, but by the Vice President and the Cabinet. [Tweet]

Details of the Botoxic/Rutabaga phone call have leaked. They are VERY telling. [Thread reader] Botoxic supposedly gave him "data" that he would lose. This is VERY IMPORTANT: It tells you they know they CANNOT STEAL IT. If they could, she wouldn't have made that call! Contrary to Hoax Media reports — remember, this whole thing is a Hoax Media-led coup attempt on Rutabaga — that Biden was more willing to consider stepping down, he got in a yelling match with Botoxic and said her "data" was wrong. Next important data point: She demanded she talk to someone else and told him, the President, to "get off the phone." Who took over? Obama? NO. Mike Donilon, one member of the "Four-headed hydra" RUNNING THE COUNTRY (Jilly, Hunter, and Andrew ... forget his name, but ... contd ... he is Donilon's accomplice. They replaced who? Obama? NO. Jayapal, Anita Dunn, and Ron Klain. NONE of these seven people have any ties to Obama at all. They are totally NON-Obamaites.

Biden's Insane Comments About Lloyd Austin, Black Neighborhoods in Trainwreck BET Interview. [Scroll down] But the reported word is so far Biden has rebuffed the effort, although it looks like they may have gotten to him a little with him supposedly also asking his people about how Kamala Harris would do if she ran instead. I wonder if they stepped up the effort because of all the reports of his wild interviews and other crazy things he has said. Indeed, the latest BET one is so crazy I wonder if this was what finally pushed them over the edge when it comes to Biden or if someone tipped them off and said, "Come on, guys, really?" Because this one was bad, even on a Joe Biden sliding scale of bad. We heard about a little of it already. It was in that interview that he said if he had a "medical condition" and doctors came to him, he indicated that might sway him. But it was so much worse. He had some of his typical lies about inflation, blaming corporate greed, not taking any responsibility for driving it up with his policies. Somehow they weren't greedy under former President Donald Trump, but they're now supposedly greedy?

CNN Urges Biden to Use His Covid Diagnosis as 'Excuse' to Drop Out of the Race. Former President Donald Trump survives an assassination attempt, and the next day, he's on a plane heading to Milwaukee to address the nation. President Joe Biden gets COVID, despite being double vaxxed, and he is hiding away at his Deleware [sic] home. This alone further exacerbates concerns that the 81-year-old president is not mentally or physically well enough to continue running in the 2024 race. A bullet grazes Trump's ear, missing his head by nearly seconds, and he's golfing by 9 a.m. the next day. Biden experiences "mild symptoms" of what can basically be categorized as a cold, and he's bedridden for the foreseeable future. According to reports, the Biden campaign is getting ready to drop Biden from the race and replace him with Vice President Kamala Harris — and the media is already priming voters for this. CNN on Thursday urged Biden to use his COVID diagnosis as an excuse to exit the race.

Biden tests positive for COVID in Las Vegas, hastily returns to Delaware vacation home after showing symptoms. President Biden tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday and abruptly boarded Air Force One to return to his vacation home in Delaware to recuperate — after glad-handing while experiencing what his doctor described as respiratory symptoms and "general malaise." The 81-year-old president told reporters "I feel good" as he emerged — without a mask to protect others — from the presidential limo and walked up the stairs of the jet at Harry Reid International Airport. Biden canceled a speech to a Latino advocacy group in Sin City due to his diagnosis. UnidosUS president Janet Murguía announced the president was ill on stage as attendees began to wonder why Biden was running 90 minutes late to speak.

The Editor says...
How many Covid shots has Biden had? Name someone in the U.S. who lives in greater isolation than Biden. How did he get Covid? What would happen to you if you went on social media to lament that Covid hasn't killed him yet? Compare that to the caustic reactions on the left to the shooting of Donald Trump.

Biden Sniffs 3-Year-Old Girl at Nevada Deli Market, Obsesses Over Her Age. He just can't help himself. After two disastrous speeches, Joe Biden made an unscheduled stop at Mario's Westside Market in Las Vegas, Nevada Tuesday evening. Biden delivered remarks during the 115th NAACP National Convention and then participated in an economic summit with Rep. Steven Horsford earlier Tuesday. 81-year-old Biden walked into Mario's Westside Market and immediately went in for a sniff.

That Was Quick: Biden Is Getting Nasty Again. For one bright, shining moment Joe Biden made the case for toning down the rhetoric, turning down the political temperature, and unifying the country. Of course, he didn't mean it, but at least you would have thought that he would recognize that getting nasty two days after an assassin shot Donald Trump, leaving one dead spectator and others grievously wounded. But no, this is Joe Biden. He is, at base, a nasty person who cannot NOT tell a lie and smear his opponents. It is his nature, and the only thing holding him back now is his mental incapacity. [Tweet with video clip] Biden's position is that the problem with heated rhetoric is entirely on Republicans, and nothing he has ever said or done has been anything but loving and unifying. All that talk of existential threat to democracy? About MAGA extremists? About this being the last election if Trump wins? All totally normal, says Joe Biden. It's Trump who is the nasty one. [Tweet with video clip]

Here's What Sent Joe Biden Into a Total Rage During 'Awful' Call With House Dems. President Joe Biden has been holding a series of calls with the various factions in the House Democratic Caucus, and they've not gone well. The call with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus devolved into total mayhem last week. On top of being late to the call, Rep. Mike Levin (D-CA) called on Biden to step aside directly, leading to the call's abruptly ending. No one could ask the president questions. It was very much the controlled, guard-railed, and staged antics that have marked this presidency. It's all a show, with no real action or governing.

Joe Biden Didn't Know His Secret Service Director Is a Woman. Joe Biden's interview with NBC News' Lester Holt Monday night was kind of a disaster. His failure to accept responsibility for his dangerous and violent rhetoric about Donald Trump was enraging, but the interview also became the latest example of his disturbing lack of mental fitness for the presidency. He once again came off as tired and weak, but things got really disturbing when he referred to his female Secret Service director as a man. "Do you have — are you — are you — you have confidence in the Secret Service?" Holt asked. "Do you feel safe?" [...] "Is it acceptable that you have still not heard, at least publicly, from the Secret Service director?" "Oh, I've heard from him," Biden said. Heard from him? Ummm... Does Joe Biden not know that the Director of the U.S. Secret Service is a woman, Kimberly Cheatle?

The Editor says...
Biden used the wrong pronoun! He's gotta go!

The 'Through Line' from Ashli Babbitt to Donald Trump. If Joe Biden merely padded his stats the way Donald Trump routinely does, he could be forgiven, but Biden's lies cut deep and leave scars. It is too early to tell how much stock shooter Thomas Crooks put in those lies, but it would be naive to think that the anti-Trump mania that Biden helped foster did not influence this would-be assassin. If so, Trump would not be the first victim of this mass psychosis. That tragic place in history belongs to January 6 protestor, Ashli Babbitt. Indeed, no major candidate has ever begun a presidential campaign with a more divisive and slanderous opening gambit than did Biden.

Four factions vying for control of America. The Biden family is a massive business that produces nothing except corrupt political influence. It is exemplified in Joe Biden's laughing boast that he successfully coerced the Ukrainian government to fire its prosecutor, who was exposing the crimes of Hunter Biden. Hunter was a highly paid board member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Hunter Biden has zero expertise in the energy industry and contributed nothing of value to Burisma. Joe Biden threatened Ukraine by promising to withhold a billion dollars in U.S. aid unless its prosecutor was promptly dismissed from his job. He was.

Biden Labels Trump 'Threat to Democracy' after Urging Americans to Tone Down Heated Rhetoric. President Biden doubled down on his assertion that Donald Trump is a "threat to democracy" during an interview with NBC News on Monday, despite repeatedly calling on Americans to lower the temperature in U.S. politics in the wake of a failed assassination attempt against the former president. In a 20-minute interview that aired unedited Monday evening, NBC anchor Lester Holt asked Biden whether he has done any "soul searching" about whether his own political rhetoric could incite people who are "not balanced." "How do you talk about the threat to democracy, which is real, when a president says things like he says?" Biden replied. "Do you just not say anything because it might incite somebody?" He went on to claim that he has not engaged in heated rhetoric, but he accused Trump of doing so.

Joe Biden Is a Terrible Liar About His Dangerous Rhetoric. Less than a day after Joe Biden called on Americans to "lower the temperature," he denied his own dangerous and divisive rhetoric in an interview with Lester Holt on NBC News. "You called your opponent an existential threat," Holt pointed out. "On a call a week ago you said it's time to put Trump in the bullseye. There's some dispute about the context, but I think you appreciate that we're — " "I didn't say crosshairs," Biden retorted. "I said bull's eye. I meant focus on him. Focus on what he's doing, focus on his policies, focus on the number of lies he told in the debate. [...]" [...] Sorry, Joe, but you've already lost the argument when you're trying to differentiate "bull's-eye" from "crosshairs." Just stop wasting your time. And, Holt, to his credit, didn't seem to accept Biden's argument, and pressed him on the issue of his rhetoric.

Biden Issued Veiled Threat One Week Before Trump Assassination Attempt in Stephanopoulos Interview. [Scroll down] Stephanopoulos said he has never seen a president of 36% approval get re-elected. Biden denied he was polling at 36% approval and then issued a cryptic, veiled threat. "Wouldn't a clear-eyed political calculus tell you it's going to be much tougher to win in 2024?" Stephanopoulos asked Biden referring to the abysmal polls. Biden issued a veiled threat. "Not when you're running against a pathological liar. Not when he hadn't been challenged in a way that he's about to be challenged," Biden said with a sinister look on his face. [Tweet]

On the Dementia Beat Since 2020. In 2021 we were contacted by NewsGuard with a set of emailed questions about Power Line. NewsGuard is a brick in the wall meant to protect us from "misinformation." According to a 2019 New York Times story, NewsGuard has given its stamp of approval to outlets including the Times itself. [...] This was Question 3 submitted to us by NewsGuard deputy editor John Gregory: ["]We've noticed that the site has repeatedly stated as fact in its article[s] that Joe Biden has dementia, both during the 2020 election cycle and since he became president. Why does the site make this claim without providing credible evidence that he has dementia?["]

Can Joe Biden Be Pushed Out of the Race? At this point, we've all seen it, heard it, and lived it: the public mental demise of the puppet president of the United States. Joe Biden, the lifelong politician, professional liar, and poster boy for term limits, has served his purpose — quite well, I might add — as the far left's useful idiot. In only four years, he has wrecked the economy, allowed millions of people to casually walk across our borders, and entered all but a full-on war with Russia. But wait a minute: something odd is taking place in our media and from the left. They are calling for Biden to step aside. [...] But remember: Obama holds the leverage. He knows firsthand all the shenanigans of the Biden crime family. There is no love lost between these two, and any resistance to keeping their end of the deal, to step aside when told, is easily dealt with even if it gets a little messy. They are not surprised; they know how to handle Joe, and they have a plan.

There's Little Point in Replacing Joe Biden on the Dem Presidential Ticket Now. As far as the 2024 presidential election is concerned, it is something of an understatement to point out that the attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump has 1) sucked all the oxygen out of the room and 2) made the Joe Biden campaign effort irrelevant. And on Sunday morning, only hours after the attempt on Donald Trump's life, some of the president's allies are pointing out that there is little point in any further attempt to replace Joe Biden at the head of the Democrat ticket. [...] And those who have been calling for President Biden to step away from the campaign, to let someone who has a greater chance of stopping the Trump Express, have little or no reason to keep calling for any such concession. The game's as good as over unless something dramatic happens — something at least as dramatic as what happened yesterday in Pennsylvania. They may as well let Joe Biden have his last hurrah.

What Biden Posted on X Hours Before Trump Shooting. Twenty-four hours before the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump's life in Butler, Pennsylvania, the 2024 presidential election was in full swing. Here's some of what President Joe Biden was posting on X in the hours before Trump was shot. Biden seemingly likened Trump to a dictator in a post on his personal account less than 24 hours before the shots rang out at the former president's campaign rally about 35 miles north of Pittsburgh: [Tweet]

The assassination attempt on Trump's life has made the American divide clearer than ever. Those of us who believe Joe Biden is an illegitimate president have suffered through three and a half years of the worst administration in U.S. history; we actually read all the proof that has been provided by the numerous groups who did the work: Peter Navarro's report, the work done by True the Vote, how Zuckerberg's illegal drop boxes were stuffed with fake ballots, etc. There is no doubt that the 2020 election was stolen with fraudulent mail-in ballots and rigged by other means, despite what the media says. No court ever actually looked at the evidence; our judiciary is corrupt as well; corrupt and frightened of the left. Given that, and given Biden's sad decline into senility, conservatives do not wish Biden to be killed. We want the elder abuse to end. We want his regime to end. His is the most authoritarian administration in U.S. history. His obsession with transgenderism and the concomitant sexualization of very young children should be enough for most people to want him gone.

WSJ: Biden Can't Drop Out and Transfer $100 Million Before He's Officially the Nominee. An op-ed in the Wall Street Journal has thrown cold water on the idea that President Joe Biden will drop out of the presidential race before formally becoming his party's nominee by the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August. The reason: he cannot hand over the $100 million in his campaign committee's accounts to Vice President Kamala Harris or any other candidate until he formally becomes the Democratic Party's presidential candidate.

Biden Says He's Following the Advice of His "Commander-in-Chief". Joe Biden Thursday evening was nearly one hour late to his "Big Boy" press conference after he bungled the Ukraine Compact with Zelensky and called him "President Putin." Old Joe botched the first question when he called Kamala Harris "Vice President Trump." "I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be Vice President if I didn't think she was not qualified to be president," Biden said after a reporter asked him about Kamala Harris being at the top of the ticket. He's cooked!

The Biden Crime Family's Fisker Adventure. Joe Biden, who doesn't remember he was vice president or when, did learn and remember one thing: how to profit from green corruption. Electric vehicle mandates and wasted taxpayer handouts have been standard operating procedure for the Biden Administration, among them, to Fisker, an electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer. Fisker's products tended to run in the $100,000 dollar range. Past tense because Fisker went bankrupt in July, taking some $529 million in taxpayer cash with them. [Tweet]

Biden During Rare Press Conference: 'I've Been Given a List of People to Call On'. President Joe Biden relied on a list supplied by his staff when calling on reporters during his first press conference in eight months. His shocking announcement critically undermined his defense against accusations that staff run the White House, stage managing Biden and limiting his exposure to unscripted events and meetings. "With that, I'll take your questions. I've been given a list of people to call on here," Biden said at the end of his prepared remarks, which he mumbled through despite reading from a teleprompter. Biden paused to check his list, reading out "Reuters, Jeff Mason." While answering the first question, Biden committed another gaffe, referring to his Vice President, Kamala Harris, as "Vice President Trump."

The Editor says...
The questions and answers are scripted. The "reporters" are pre-selected. The "president" only says what he sees on the teleprompter. He can't find the podium without seeing a picture of it first. It's not a press conference, it's small-town theater.

Biden Doesn't Know Who's President, Can't Read His List, and KJP Tries to Shut the Presser Down. Joe Biden's "big boy" press conference is in the books, and it did not go well. As RedState reported, the president showed up with a pre-selected list of reporters to call on, a fact that he announced before taking questions. During the first question, the president then called Donald Trump his vice president, confusing his political opponent with Kamala Harris. From there, he's been rambling and filibustering, attempting to burn enough time so his staff can claim he held his own. The truth is, this was a disaster. [Tweet with video clip] Yes, that's the President of the United States having no idea who the President of the United States is. Who exactly is he referring to? Jill Biden? Hunter Biden? A cabal of handlers? Whose advice is he following? Jill Biden may be the answer. [Tweet with video clip]

Joe Biden's 'Big Boy' Press Conference Is a Disaster for the Democrats. On Thursday evening, Joe Biden held what was widely dubbed his "big boy" press conference. Originally scheduled for 5:30 p.m. ET; it was delayed an hour before again being pushed to 7:00 and then 7:15. It was a rough start, for sure. Biden sounded hoarse at times, coughed quite a bit, and sounded like he had cotton in his mouth and nostrils. But it was a campaign speech through and through — not the promised NATO press conference. He repeated the same old stump speech lines that we've heard repeatedly and that haven't resonated with the public. Of course, the speech was irrelevant. The questions and answers are what matter and it didn't go very well. For starters, his "big boy" press conference was made up of pre-approved reporters. In response to the first question, which was about Kamala Harris's ability to serve if he doesn't, he said, "I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be Vice President if she wasn't qualified to be president."

Biden held his "big boy" press conference last night and it went exactly how you'd expect. Joe Biden is unfit to be president. It's obvious to anyone with a set of eyes and ears. Well, unless that person is a Democrat. Biden held his much-anticipated "big boy" press conference last night and oh boy did it go how we all thought it might go. In a nutshell, here's how it went. [Tweet with video clip]

Sorry Democrats, There Is No Coming Back From This. It is now clear that President Joe Biden's poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump has irreversibly damaged his campaign to the point that his chances of winning a second term have diminished considerably. [...][ This issue isn't going away. Ever. Even the media, which is typically firmly in Biden's corner, has been floating the idea of replacing him with a more suitable — and younger — candidate. Thursday's press conference did little to assuage concerns about Biden's problems. David Axelrod, former senior advisor to former President Barack Obama, has come out strongly against President Biden. He recently repudiated Biden's claim during the press conference that "no one" and "no poll" shows that he cannot defeat Trump in November. [Tweet]

15 Lies Biden Told During His 'Big Boy' Press Conference. [#1] Biden claimed that "overall prices fell last month." That statement is false. According to PBS News, "Wholesale prices in the United States rose by a larger-than-expected 2.6 percent last month from a year earlier." [#2] Biden falsely claimed that he picked Donald Trump as his vice president. "I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president [if I didn't] think she was not qualified to be president," the Delaware Democrat said. Biden picked Kamala Harris, not Trump, to be his vice president. [...] [#4] Biden blamed his travel schedule as the cause for his poor debate performance against Trump. "The next debate, I'm not going to be traveling 15 time zones a week before. Anyway. That's what it was about," the president said. Contrary to his claim, Biden did not travel through 15 time zones a week before the debate. The president returned from his overseas Europe trip on June 15 and spent the week before the debate prepping at Camp David.

Oh Boy, Democrats Are in Trouble After Joe Biden's NATO Presser. President Joe Biden faced a pivotal moment as he held his first press conference after his disastrous debate performance on Thursday. Biden spoke to reporters on the final day of a NATO summit the president was hosting in Washington as he faces mounting pressure to drop out of the 2024 race. The presser got off to a bad start when Biden didn't take the stage until a whole hour after it was scheduled. Democrats held their breath to see if Biden could successfully speak in front of cameras. Following the debate, the 81-year-old president claimed he was having a "bad night;" however, his opening remarks at the press conference showed otherwise. Within minutes of taking the stage, Biden referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Russian President Vladimir Putin. Just moments later, Biden rambled and minced words despite reading directly from a teleprompter. Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro called Biden a "total mess," while others pointed out the 81-year-old president was up past his bedtime. [Tweets]

Biden introduces Ukraine's Zelensky as 'President Putin' in front of NATO leaders in latest brutal gaffe. President Biden drew gasps Thursday evening [7/11/2024] when he introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as "President Putin" — confusing him with the Russian tyrant whose forces have invaded Ukraine for the past two and a half years. "And now I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination," Biden said. "Ladies and gentlemen, President [Vladimir] Putin." Many in the auditorium appeared to wince as the words left the president's lips. One audience member shouted "Zelensky!" in an attempt to correct the 81-year-old Biden.

Biden roasted after accidentally calling Ukrainian leader 'President Putin:' 'Humiliating our entire country'. [Tweet with video clip] President Biden faced a wave of mockery online after he introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as "President Putin." "And now I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination," Biden said at a NATO conference on Thursday in Washington, D.C. "Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin." Biden seemed to realize his embarrassing verbal stumble mentioning Russian President Vladimir Putin, and came back to the lectern to correct himself.

Can They Cheat a Dementia Sufferer Back into the White House? We're learning something valuable. Censorship works better than gaslighting, but even that fails. Joe Biden's "cognitive decline" has been ongoing since at least 2019. If you didn't understand why Biden ran his 2020 campaign from his Wilmington rec room, now you know. COVID precaution was a convenient excuse. Biden wasn't ever going to draw a crowd like Trump, so masking up and hanging out in front of his big screen was an easy dodge. But it was his deteriorating brain that kept him off the campaign trail. Dementia sufferers are easily confused and frustrated. They don't handle crowds and noise well. Biden's handlers — during the 2020 campaign and throughout his presidency — have been tasked with keeping venues small or ensuring that Biden is enough removed that he won't become agitated. When he behaves bizarrely — babbling at podiums, turning to shake invisible hands, wandering off after his remarks — corporate media steps in to censor the fluffs. [...] The debate was a game-changing miscalculation.

At last.
House Oversight Subpoenas Top Biden Handlers To Find Out Who's Running The Country. The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed three top White House aides on Wednesday, and has demanded that they sit for depositions concerning President Joe Biden's health — and who's actually running the country. As Axios reports, Oversight chair James Comer (R-KY) subpoenaed First Lady Jill Biden's top aide Anthony Bernal, deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini, and senior adviser Ashley Williams, who the outlet described as "low-profile but very influential" inside the White House. According to Wednesday letters, Comer cites Bernal and Tomasini's access to the first family's residence — which White House residence staff found 'unusual,' as 'political staffers often don't have such access.'

Catherine Herridge Reveals Case That Could Expose Biden Family's Overseas Bribery. Tucker Carlson recently interviewed ousted CBS correspondent Catherine Herridge, his former colleague at Fox News, to dissect current media dynamics, focusing heavily on President Joe Biden's recent performances and the general state of journalism. The discussion quickly turned to the controversial subject of Biden's cognitive abilities, which have been a topic of intense debate following his latest public appearances. Herridge also delved into Hunter Biden's legal troubles, which she believes could have serious implications for the Biden family. "I would think about the Hunter Biden case as having two buckets. The first was the gun charges, and then the second is this tax case. I've always felt the tax case is a much more serious case and has the greatest legal jeopardy for himself and members of his family."

Democracy Dies in Dementia? In the wake of President Biden's subpar performance in the first and most important presidential debate on June 27th, top Democratic lawmakers, left-leaning newspapers, and major progressive donors are calling on him to step aside as his party's presidential candidate. Given the way American politics works, and the difficulties involved in running an effective campaign without robust institutional/elite support, these leftist grandees may well get their wish: Joe Biden, liberal stalwart, may be ground down by internal opposition and forced to accept (early? or late?) retirement. The irony here is that all these leading voices of the Democratic Party establishment have been telling us for four long years that it is the people, not politicians and their hangers-on, who get to decide who runs this country, and the two parties that rule it at the people's behest. Their main line of attack against Donald Trump and "ultra MAGA" Republicans has been that to question or undermine an election is a sort of civic sacrilege — it is, for believers in democracy, an abomination that disqualifies the relevant "election denier(s)" from running for office or earning the public's trust.

Who enabled Biden? A case study. The Wall Street Journal described a January White House meeting with congressional leaders on Ukraine policy in which Biden "spoke so softly at times that some participants struggled to hear him, according to five people familiar with the meeting. He read from notes to make obvious points, paused for extended periods and sometimes closed his eyes for so long that some in the room wondered whether he had tuned out." The next month, meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), the Wall Street Journal said, "Johnson worried that the president's memory had slipped about the details of his own policy." White House and Democratic pushback was furious. Biden is as sharp as ever, Democrats said. The article was a hit piece based on Republicans who were playing partisan politics. Among those pushing back was Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), who had talked with the Wall Street Journal for the story but was not quoted in the published piece.

Jill Biden, abuser in chief. There is one key reason why President Biden is stubbornly insisting — despite calls from some fellow Democrats to step aside — that he will not drop out of his race for reelection: Jill Biden. The first lady is clearly the driving force behind his stumbling, grumbling, bumbling, mumbling bid for a second term despite obvious signs that he is not up to the rigors of the world's toughest job for four more years. Jill hungrily appears to want to cling to the White House more tenaciously than Mr. Biden. She clearly loves the public spotlight and the perks of the office too much to let them go. If she had not and had his and the country's best interests at heart, she would have convinced her husband months ago that it was time to pack it in and retire to a life of leisure in Delaware. She sees him more intimately than anyone, and she knows better than anyone his capabilities and limitations. Moreover, she is his most trusted adviser.

Biden White House demanded Marine Corps band compose 'Fanfare for the First Lady' entrance theme for Jill: report. In 2022, the Washington Examiner's Becket Adams reported that the Marine Corps Band was instructed to compose an entrance theme for First Lady Jill Biden. The song, Fanfare for the First Lady, was intended to be a counterpoint to the president's Hail to the Chief. But of course, the president is the elected commander in chief, and the First Lady is more of an honorary post. [...] At the time, press secretary for the First Lady Michael LaRosa (yes, she has one of those too), said that the story was not accurate. "The first lady does not have a song anybody has written for her specifically. She has no 'Hail to the Chief' song. She has no song. She never asked anyone to create a song." "The White House asked nobody, not one person, to compose an exclusive entry song, or any song, for the first lady," LaRosa added. "None of that is accurate." Yet, the song exists.

Time's Up: Biden Won't Withdraw, He Can't Be Removed, and His Reelection Appears Sunk. Two weeks. We've had two weeks since Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance. Normally, a debate sustains a news cycle for a few days. But Biden's performance was so bad, his obvious mental decline so apparent, that the media just can't let it go. To be fair, we on the right have not let it go since his basement campaign in 2020. But the media has suddenly had their eyes opened and the veil lifted. They see now what they were too un-curious to see before: Biden is a man in decline. The problem for the Democrats is that, when it comes to seeking another candidate, time is up. [...] The only chance they have is for Biden to step aside himself, doing so voluntarily and with grace. It is an option that is clearly off the table, considering his letter to Congressional Democrats earlier this week. But, as it stands, Biden is the only person who can remove Biden at this point.

Joe Biden Has Always Been a Liar. Framed on a wall in my office is a copy of my first opinion column, published by The Dallas Morning News on Oct. 11, 1987. Until then, I had been a wire-service reporter and editor in Washington, D.C., and, before that, a sports writer in Boston, but had never written opinion. When given the chance by the Morning News, I jumped on a subject that had piqued my curiosity: A senator for Delaware running for president had brazenly stolen a speech by a Welsh Labour Party leader in the United Kingdom and, when caught, paid the price by humiliatingly dropping out of the 1988 presidential race. The Welsh politician was Neil Kinnock, and 27-year-old me simply used the brouhaha over the purloined speech as an excuse to praise him for daring to tell Labourites that "socialism had become old hat," as I put it. Democrats should be stealing that speech, I wrote.

The ultimate October surprise. The people who actually run the show — Obama, Schumer, Pelosi, etc. — badly want Joe to quit. And they have the votes, if needed, at the convention to simply change the rules and free his delegates. But, as Pelosi's twin sister likes to say, "these things must be done delicately." They don't want a big scene or a huge mess in Chicago. Jill and the rest of the Team Biden grifters won't go without a fight, or an enormous payoff. I assume George Soros and Reid Hoffman have already been told they may be buying some Hunter Biden masterpiece paintings. Enough money might do the trick. The DNC has an important rules meeting coming up July 19. That's probably the drop-dead date for Joe to leave the race without a fuss. But if not, will Pelosi and the other big shots have the temerity to go public in a fight to push out Biden? They are certainly ruthless enough.

Of Course Biden Won the Rigged Democrat Primaries. Yes, Joe Biden won the 2024 Democrat primaries. However, what he is — and most others are — failing to point out is that he won a largely rigged process. [...] In June of 2023, ABC News wrote a piece detailing how Democrats were going to keep Biden from primary debates. Former CEO and co-founder of Twitter (now X) Jack Dorsey was quoted as saying, "Open the Democrat primaries and debates. This isn't fair to anyone." The same ABC News piece also noted, "When asked by Politico in August 2022 about how they might deal with a primary challenge, DNC executive director Sam Cornale put it bluntly: 'We're with Biden. Period.'" So as early as 2022, the DNC had made up its mind about Biden. Just this week, NBC chief political analyst Chuck Todd said that a "senior cabinet member" told him two years ago that they don't think Biden can continue as President. Two years ago was 2022. The DNC had to have had this information as well, or they sure should have. Yet, they chose to go with Joe Biden.

The main reason Joe Biden should not be president. For anyone who was willing to see it, it has been quite obvious that Joe Biden has been in a frail and declining mental and physical state for years now. This was clear well prior to the 2020 election. The Trump campaign ran an ad in August of 2020 that highlighted Biden's mental decline. No doubt this is one of the reasons why the drive-by media refused to cover Biden's numerous health issues. They sacrificed the truth because none of them wanted to be seen as aiding Trump, or even giving any credibility to his campaign. In other words, they lied about Biden simply because they hated Trump. And never forget: this is not merely about Donald Trump. Trump was once a media darling. They now hate him because he is a big obstacle — not the only obstacle — to the perverse leftist agenda.

DOCTOR Jill Biden Surprised By Reporter Asking Her Questions. If Jill Biden is going to be out there campaigning for her mentally compromised husband, then she's going to have to learn how to take some heat. Jill Biden is giving screeching speeches to the public as she campaigns for her elderly husband. And she takes offense with reporters asking her questions. Oh, hun, puddin', if you can't take the press asking you basic and honest questions, maybe you shouldn't say anything at all. Instead, perhaps you should start looking into how to care for your husband and get him some help for his mental decline.

DOCTOR Jill Biden Has Always Been in Full Edith Wilson Mode. [Scroll down] The video in Stephen's post makes it clear that Mrs. Biden is NOT in the mood to entertain questions about her husband's future. She's dismissive and rude and displays the contempt for the press that has been her husband's trademark for decades. The Bidens do not like it when the press minions forget their places and challenge them. They fancy themselves royalty, not public servants.

Revisiting the Hur Report in Light of Biden's Implosion. Back in February, Special Counsel Robert Hur reported that Joe Biden was a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory", that Biden's "memory was significantly limited" and that he had "diminished faculties in advancing age." The report also described that Biden could not remember what years he was vice president, nor when his son died. Democrats and the media dismissed the report, claiming that Hur was something akin to a MAGA fanatic, which is demonstrably not true. But as so often, the truth did not matter. What mattered were false narratives that preserved Democrats' hold on power. And so the problem seemingly went away. But the cognitive decline observed by Hur, and all of us who were paying attention instead of listening to the media, is not something that can be hidden forever. Unfortunately for Biden, the problem reemerged on the public stage at the worst possible time, during the first presidential debate. Everyone could see for themselves that Biden was no longer with it. He wasn't able to string together even simple sentences. He mumbled and stumbled through every answer.

Biden Reportedly Skipped Secret Meeting With World Leader To Go To Bed Early. President Joe Biden reportedly skipped out on a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in 2022 to go to bed early, sources told The Wall Street Journal. German officials reportedly planned for the president to meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz during a June Group of Seven summit, though the foreign aides made the meeting early evening as they had become aware that Biden gets "fatigued" at night, sources told the WSJ. The president never showed up to the meeting and instead, Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in his place, telling the chancellor and his aides that Biden had gone to bed, officials told the outlet.

Biden didn't show up for an early evening meeting with the German chancellor because he had to go to bed: report. President Joe Biden canceled an early evening meeting with the German chancellor Olaf Scholz at the last minute because he had to go to bed, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper reported that the event was an informal gathering in Germany amid the G7 summit in June 2022, and was meant to be a low-key meeting to discuss Ukraine. Two unnamed people who were there told the Journal that Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that Biden would not make an appearance because he had to rest.

The Democratic National Convention Could Be an Epic Political Massacre. Joe Biden informed congressional Democrats in a letter on Monday that he has no intention of dropping out of the race. Later, during an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Biden defiantly dismissed those in the party who are calling on him to step aside and offered anyone to challenge him at the Democratic National Convention. "The American public is not going to move away from me as the average voter," Biden told hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough. "And again, I'm here for two reasons: One to rebuild the economy for hardworking middle-class people [to] give everybody a shot. It's a straight shot. Everybody gets a fair chance, number one." "Number two: Remember all this talk about how I don't have the black support? Come on, give me a break," he added. "Come with me. Watch. Watch! I'm getting so frustrated but by the elites — now I'm not talking about you guys but about the elites — in the party."

Expect a 180 degree Reversal in Calls for Biden to Leave. Unless Biden glitches so badly that the Cabinet agrees to dump him — another political disaster — Biden will almost certainly be on the ballot this November. Co-Presidents Jill and Hunter Biden don't want him to go, and Joe is too stubborn to be pushed out of the race. [Tweet with video clip] This leaves Democrats in a pickle — as if they weren't in one already. They have been almost unified in letting the public know that Biden isn't the right guy to represent their Party next November, but Biden is almost certain to be the guy at the top of the ticket. As the calls for Biden to get out have risen to a fever pitch, Biden has been digging in and refused to budge. The immovable object, it turns out, beats the irresistible force.

White House admits Parkinson's expert has examined Biden — but says only for his annual physicals. The White House admitted Monday [7/8/2024] that a Parkinson's expert who's visited the executive mansion eight times in as many months has evaluated President Biden — but said the exams only took place during the president's annual physicals. The revelation was disclosed in a letter from Biden's personal physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor hours after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to explain the flurry of recent visits from the Parkinson's specialist, Dr. Kevin Cannard. "Dr. Cannard was the neurological specialist that examined President Biden for each of his annual physicals," O'Connor wrote in the letter.

The Editor says...
If you needed an annual physical, would you bypass your personal physician and bring in a Parkinson's expert? Does the president need an "annual physical" once a month?

White House Clown Show Continues As They Announce Biden Will Hold a 'Big Boy' Press Conference. The Biden administration is truly a continuous clown show. In the face of concerns about his cognitive decline, Joe Biden refuses to take a cognitive test. There are all kinds of leaks about the hoops people are jumping through behind the scenes just to help him operate day to day. Then we have the question raised about visits to the White House by the Parkinson's expert, and the White House doesn't even think they have any obligation to be straight with us on that. [Advertisement] But it's Joe Biden, so they can always go lower. Who really thought this was a good idea for White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and National Security spokesperson John Kirby to announce that Biden would be doing a "Big Boy" press conference on Thursday? [Tweet]

Problems with forcibly removing Biden. [Scenario #2] Biden's cabinet transfers his presidential power to the vice president due to incapacity, invoking the 25th Amendment. This has the added benefit of hurdling barriers in states which permit a late ballot change for a live candidate only if the candidate is declared insane or mentally incompetent. I doubt Parkinson's disease would qualify, so the Democrats would have to be willing to humiliate Biden with an appropriate diagnosis. This transfer of power requires the declaration not only of the vice president but that of a majority of the cabinet members the president himself selected. Even if that is attained, if Biden attests he is fit, it takes the votes of two-thirds of both Houses to override his reinstatement, not a certainty by any means. Republicans — or a clever subset of them — could ensure Biden remains on the ticket by purposely voting to reinstate him, leaving Biden even more wounded after this ordeal and the Democrats who tried to oust him looking very silly. Surprisingly, this possible strategy didn't seem to occur to the media of all persuasions covering this issue.

Joe Biden Is Not a Decent Man. Even as they attempt to force him out, Democrats are still praising the sterling character of the president, especially in contrast to Trump. But that's always been a lie. [...] We can dismiss the claim that his administration has been a great success, an astonishing disconnect with the reality of an inflation-ridden economy, open border, and a world in chaos on his watch, that is nonetheless ritually repeated regularly on the left-wing news channels. But Democrat partisans actually think they are on firmer ground in affirming that he's a great guy — and therefore a stark contrast to Trump, whom they denounce as personally evil — even as they come to grips with the fact that he lacks the mental acuity to be the leader of the free world. But the notion that "Scranton Joe" is a nice guy is as wrongheaded as the claim that he's mentally competent or a brilliant leader. The one constant about Biden has been his essential meanness, which, when combined with his well-known predilection for telling tall tales about his own life, is a formula for slander of all those who are not materially contributing to his success.

Now They're Gaslighting Us About Biden's 'Accomplishments'. Yesterday, we pointed out how the press and Democratic Party politicians and operatives have started calling President Joe Biden a "good man," despite all evidence to the contrary. Now the media are trying to convince the public that Biden has been a great president who racked up big accomplishments, which is another insult to our intelligence. "Objectively speaking, President Joe Biden has presided over some significant, even historic, accomplishments," is how the Atlantic put it. The Atlantic writer could name only three. Massive spending programs (all with borrowed money), mandating COVID vaccines (that were developed in record time thanks to Donald Trump's Operation Warp Speed), and "the lowest unemployment rate in over 50 years" — a rate that has been steadily increasing all year. This is the short list Biden sycophants usually trot out. But it's the list of Biden's failures that is truly impressive. Here's just a sampling: [...] Joe Biden is the worst president in American history and a man whose lifetime of accomplishments wouldn't fill up a Post-it note.

Where Are the Calls for 25th Amendment? I tried looking up the number of times that Democrats and MSM figures called for Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment against Donald Trump, but I couldn't find a reliable source. What I did find was something I didn't recall: the Democrat House of Representatives passed a resolution calling on Pence to depose Trump in January 2021 — just days before Trump was scheduled to leave office. It was widely discussed in the media then, and many, many times during his presidency. [Screenshots] It makes sense. After all, within 20 minutes (no, I am not exaggerating in this case), The Washington Post wrote a story about the "campaign to impeach Donald Trump." This was during his inaugural speech. Impeach Trump for having been sworn in. The Democrats wanted to impeach Trump simply for having won the election. He hadn't done a single thing yet.

Democrats: Dogmatic Geniuses or Dogs Chasing Cars? In February, I predicted that it can't be Biden on the Democrat ticket in November, while also suggesting that Democrats were already aware of that fact, and that they were likely already scheming to replace him this summer. [...] One explanation, which seems to me the likeliest, is that Democrats weren't prepared for the spotlight to ever be moved away from Trump. [...] Whether it was by design or as a reaction, the knives are certainly out for Joe Biden.

White House Still Lying About Parkinson's Expert Visits. As recently as yesterday, reporters were unable to get Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to comment on the frequent visits of Parkinson's Disease expert Dr. Kevin Cannard to see Joe Biden. But a vague attempt at an explanation showed up in the form of a letter from the President's personal physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor later in the day. He admitted that Dr. Cannard had come to see Biden eight times in as many months (!) but didn't delve into the specifics of the discussions. All that was said was that Cannard had seen Biden as part of his annual physical exams. This rather weak explanation raises many questions, but the one thing that seems obvious is that the White House is continuing to lie about what's going on with the President's health and cognitive capabilities in the midst of multiple national and global crises.

Third in line to presidency calls on Biden to 'seriously consider' the future. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., third in line to the presidency, said President Biden must "seriously consider" how to secure his legacy for the future as calls grow among Democrats for Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race over concerns about his mental fitness. Murray, who as president pro tempore is third in line to the presidency, said in a statement on Monday that Biden needs to be "more forceful and energetic" on the campaign trail to prove to voters that he is more fit for another term in the White House than former President Trump. "President Biden has to lead the charge in making that case," Murray said.

Revealed: Biden's Staff Spends Most of Their Time Training Him to Walk. Precisely how meticulously do Joe Biden's staffers plan his public appearances? We have a better idea now that an "event template" that is sent to staffers has been leaked to Axios and other media outlets. To put it mildly, the planning required just to get Biden onto a stage and behind a podium is ridiculous and resembles the type of instructions you would need to give to a kindergartener getting ready for a class play. The instructions given to Biden include large photographs with minimal words, showing where he is when he receives them and where he needs to walk. Some have suggested that these cue cards are just the work of "a meticulous staff," but this level of detail makes it clear that the recipient of the instructions literally needs help to navigate his way across an empty space of twenty or thirty feet.

Report: Biden Guided by Document Instructing Him to 'Walk to Podium' During Events. White House staffers have reportedly created a document with photos and instructions for President Joe Biden to "walk" to the podium during events. One template of the five-page document, which was obtained by Axios, shows a "large picture of the event space" on different pages, with words in "big text" that say, "View from podium" and "View from audience." The document also reportedly shows two different photos with the words "Walk to podium," according to the outlet. One person who had reportedly staffed an event for the president in the past year and a half told the outlet that the White House had "treated" a "simple fundraiser at a private residence" as if it "was a NATO summit." "I staffed a simple fundraiser at a private residence, but they treated it like it was a NATO summit with his movements," the person told the outlet.

Biden says Philadelphia voters helped him win Delaware Senate seat. President Biden mixed up the state he represented for nearly 40 years in the U.S. Senate career while talking to voters in Philadelphia. "Even when I was running for Senate, each time I ran, quite frankly, not a joke, Philadelphia, in particular, got me across the line," he said during a campaign event. He then doubled down on his statement. "No, I'm not joking," he said as people cheered and applauded. "No, I mean it, seriously, organizationally, and in terms of fundraising — the whole deal." Mr. Biden served as U.S. senator for Delaware from 1973 to 2009 before becoming former President Obama's vice president. While Mr. Biden's residence in Wilmington and other parts of northern Delaware are in the Philadelphia designated market-area region, the city would not have helped him win the Senate seat since only state residents can vote for senators.

Did Politico Just Admit Biden Is Selling Access and Influence? You know, after years of defending Biden for virtually everything, his terrible debate performance truly seems to have broken the dam, and given the media cover to report on what they never would have before, as it appears that they are actively trying to push him to drop out of the race. Imagine my surprise Saturday morning when I came across an article from Politico that declared "White House visits are a cash cow for Biden." [Tweet] The report goes into extraordinary detail about how Joe Biden hosted donors at the White House and got huge donations afterward. For example, shortly before Christmas last year, four billionaire Democratic donors visited the White House to meet with Biden privately. During this private session, Biden discussed his second-term agenda and answered questions about his campaign and policies. The day after the meeting, tech entrepreneur Mark Pincus donated the maximum allowed amount of $929,600 to Biden's fundraising committee, the Biden Victory Fund. Within three weeks, venture capitalist Reid Hoffman contributed $923,000. Former Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson donated nearly half a million dollars two days before the meeting.

Bidengate and the Doom Loop. The entire 2019-20 Biden candidacy and subsequent presidency were predicated on a rotten Faustian bargain. A hale Joe Biden would feign his aw-shucks, Joe from Scranton schtick. And an ossified working-class Joe's camouflage would get the hard left elected — especially thanks to the changes in balloting laws that often saw only 30 percent of the electorate voting on Election Day in key states. In exchange, the two narcissistic Bidens would bask in the power and attention of the presidency. From the start, Jill and the media would orchestrate deep cover for Joe's escalating dementia as well as the true intentions of the now-in-power radical Democratic Party with its neo-socialist agenda. The former Obama acolytes would get their long-dreamed-of third presidential term. And this time they would enact a truly radical agenda while their string puppet mumbled to everyone that he was just old, familiar Joe working for the middle class.

Biden Family Enter Negotiation Stage — Letter to Congress Frames Baseline for Exit Price. The Biden family have entered the negotiation stage, as they face two simultaneous enemies aligned in common purpose. Hunter Biden has been brought close into the fold, as the Intelligence Community obviously holds leverage over Dad's disposition through the entry vector of his son. As this aspect unfolds, the Biden syndicate goes to the mattresses. The threat metric against Hunter is why he is now part of the daily advisory group around the Office of the President. Meanwhile, in a coded message, Joe Biden technically blamed the Obama network today when he called in to the NSNBC radio show and pointed fingers at the DNC elite. Everyone knows the DNC is now under the full control of Team Obama. If Biden feels the "Democrat Elite" are targeting him, he understands Barack Obama is behind the approvals to unleash internecine attacks against his administration. Death by a thousand Obama cuts. The Obama network operate inside and outside DC. Simultaneous to this assault against him, Biden is now also facing the Intelligence Community who have decided it's time for Joe to go. Biden is now facing two enemies, the Obama network and the Intelligence Community (IC).

Joe Biden Goes on 'Morning Joe,' Appears to Read From a Script and Starts Screaming Incoherently. The comeback tour continued for Joe Biden on Monday morning with a brief stint on MSNBC. The president called into "Morning Joe," a show hosted by two of his biggest fans, in yet another attempt to soothe the souls of Democrats worried about his ability to win in November. Notably, Biden did not appear on video, and if you pay attention to the pace of his speaking, it sure sounds like that was because he was reading from a script. Even then, he still managed to faceplant throughout the "interview." [Two tweets with video clips] It wasn't long before the president got angry, as he's prone to do. When pressed in even the slightest degree about his fitness for office, he lashed out multiple times, distorting the phone and calling Scarborough "pal" while screaming "watch!" [Tweet with video clip]

Joe Biden Is A Good Man? Please Don't Insult Our Intelligence. The talking points must have gone out within minutes of the end of President Joe Biden's lame debate performance. Among the first to tell us just how fine a man Biden was Barack Obama, who called his former vice president "someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life." It is, of course, a lie. Biden is not a good man, and the idea he's "fought for ordinary folks" for even a single day of his "public service" is risible. Obama's tweet also claimed that Biden is the candidate "who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight." From there, the gaslighting grew exponentially worse.

Hunter Biden's the real point person in Joe's White House — don't underestimate the first son. Democrats trying to dislodge Joe Biden will first have to combat the proxy commander-in-chief, Hunter Biden — and that's more easily said than done. With the Biden family digging in behind Joe staying put, any staffers or party grandees deputized to strong-arm Joe Biden out of being their candidate in November had better not underestimate the first son. While the focus has been on four-time Vogue cover girl Jill Biden and her screeching assurances that Joe is hale and hearty and fit for another four years, the first son has flown under the radar. But Hunter is glued to his father's side for a reason. He was with him at Camp David to help prepare for the disastrous debate; was there for the vainglorious Annie Leibovitz family photo shoot post-debate; then flew back with the president to the White House, where he has been ensconced ever since.

Hunter Biden Now His Father's 'Gatekeeper,' and Democrats Have a Deadline for Joe Biden to Drop Out. There's plenty of video evidence that Joe Biden is senile, struggling with a steep cognitive decline that has accelerated over the last couple of years. You wouldn't need a second of it, though, to show how far gone he is in light of the president's latest move. According to Axios, Hunter Biden is currently operating as a "gatekeeper" for his father. That follows reports that the president's convicted felon son has also been attending high-level meetings while controlling the flow of information within the administration. If elevating Hunter Biden to such a position of power is not proof that Joe Biden is completely gone mentally, I'm not sure what is.

A Drug Addict and His Former Babysitter Are Officially Joe Biden Gatekeepers. Again, I refrain from too much speculation about the process of replacement, but I solidly affirm my 3-year-old prediction that Biden was always going to be replaced. In this article, talking about the granular details of Joe Biden's current tenuous status, the following lead paragraph indicates to me that Joe will soon be gone. If it is now accepted that Hunter Biden and Jill Biden are the official gatekeepers for the White House and the office of the presidency, then that indicates no other White House officials or advisors are trusted to take that role. If this is true, that means all of the professional political networks, the concentric circles that surround the Office of the President, have collapsed. That Occam's razor of the current status seems to be corroborated by the fact that not a single administration official is on the Sunday talk shows defending Joe Biden. Let that sink in.

Sunday Smiles. In story after story people are spilling the beans on each other and in doing so, spilling the beans about their own participation in the largest and most consequential hoax in our lifetimes. Joe Biden isn't President of the United States. If the stories are to be believed, a few Jill Biden advisors, Jill Biden herself, and HUNTER BIDEN are the committee that run our country. Perhaps, perhaps not. With everything being a hoax it's hard to sort out fact from fiction. [...] Reporters who joked that the president was half-dead are now complaining about having been duped. Think about that for a moment. They are joking about Biden's senescence while writing and broadcasting stories that it was a "Right-wing conspiracy" backed by "cheap fakes." Now they are professing surprise. Their fallback position is: "I wasn't lying to you; I am simply stupid and incompetent."

Now they tell us.
A Parkinson's disease specialist has visited the White House residence medical clinic at least nine times since July 2023. Dr. Kevin R. Cannard, a Parkinson's disease specialist, has visited the White House at least nine times in the last year, official White House visitor logs show. The logs show Dr. Cannard traveled to the White House residence medical clinic each time. He met either with the president's personal physician or the naval nurse who coordinates care for the president and other top officials, the logs show. Dr. Cannard's spate of visits began on July 28, 2023 and continued at least through March 28, 2024. The most recently released logs end on April 1, so it is not clear if Dr. Cannard has been to the White House more recently. The logs do not note the purpose of Dr. Cannard's visits.

The Editor says...
Well, what MIGHT be "the purpose of Dr. Cannard's [multiple] visits?" There is only one possibility: Somebody in the White House has Parkinson's disease. Hmmmm. Who could it be?

The History of Democrats Hiding Presidential Disabilities. According to journalist Carl Bernstein, several people "very close" to President Biden have related that the president has had 15-to-20 episodes of cognitive decline — similar to what happened during the presidential debate the other evening — during the past year and a half. Bernstein told CNN that these Biden supporters said, "There have been numerous instances where the president has lost his train of thought, can't pick it up again." The New York Post editorialized that Democrats and their "media enablers" have attempted to hide Biden's cognitive decline. The Daily Mail reports that "current and former aides" to the president are saying that Biden's cognitive decline has been known for months. National Review calls the "cover-up of Biden's mental decline" a scandal.

The Editor says...
Is that the same National Review that stood firmly against Trump in the 2020 campaign? Seems like they played a leading role in the "cover-up of Biden's mental decline," which was well underway in 2020, which is one reason he stayed out of sight.

Report: Joe Biden May Be Hiding Another Illness From the Public. For years now, honest voices on the right have called out Joe Biden's various "senior moments" and raised questions about his physical and cognitive health. While the signs of dementia have been obvious for a while now, it was only after Biden's performance at the debate that voices on the left finally admitted that something is wrong with Joe Biden. But has the White House been covering up more than just dementia? Visitor logs obtained by the New York Post reveal that President Joe Biden's primary physician repeatedly consulted with a Parkinson's disease specialist at the White House.

Who's really in charge? Clearly not Joe Biden. [Scroll down] Joe is "elected" and then hocus pocus, Jill is the actual president. Santana would call it, "Black Magic Woman." What about Joe's corrupt and formerly crack-addicted son Hunter? NBC News reports, "Hunter Biden has joined White House meetings as he stays close to the president post-debate." That should inspire confidence. Does Hunter have security clearance? Is he sitting in on the presidential daily brief? Is Dr. Jill there? President Biden is reportedly functional for only a six-hour window from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Who takes the proverbial 3:00 a.m. phone call? Hunter? Dr. Jill? The confabulating White House press secretary? Has this been the case for Biden's entire presidency? Last week in Copenhagen, I was asked by a tour guide, "What's the matter with your president?" The world knows Biden is a PINO — president in name only. Who is in charge? Who is making potentially world-altering decisions? And why and for how long has this been covered up? This is not your crazy uncle kept in his room when you have company. This is the leader of the free world. His policies and decisions can make or break countries and civilizations. What did they know and when did they know it?

Donald Trump, Gunslinger. [Scroll down] There can be little doubt that our country is currently besieged by bad guys. Real, honest-to-goodness outlaws whose corruption knows no bounds. Who are determined to push their destructive agenda on America — DEI, CRT, abortion up to birth, the "trans" agenda, unfettered immigration, currency manipulation, profiteering from foreign wars — by any means necessary. Who don't hesitate to take the law into their own hands in order to punish their perceived political enemies. Who clearly will not be satisfied until the rest of us are forced into submission. In the wake of Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance, people all over American — even Democrats — are now waking up to this reality. They can see that they've been lied to. They've been had. Our government and media are full of bad actors so intent on consolidating their own power, they've allowed this husk of a man to masquerade as president for three-and-a-half years, while they pull his strings from behind the curtain.

Biden's Blackmail. After the debacle that was Biden's performance in the June 27, 2024 debate, it became obvious to the Democrat Party hierarchy and their sycophants in the legacy media that what they already knew and were willingly obfuscating for five years could no longer be papered over. Thus, during the upcoming weeks, the American people will be regaled with a torrent of leaks and innuendos about Biden's health issues. The pressure to either force Biden to resign or renounce his candidacy is accelerating as the Democrats have become increasingly fearful of losing the presidency to their implacable foe, Donald Trump. But how are they going to deal with Biden, Inc. (Joe, Jill, James Biden, and the newest permanent resident of the White House — Hunter Biden)? By foisting Joe Biden on America, the Democrat's "best and brightest" granted a reprobate the ultimate upper hand in this election cycle: the threat to use the president's unlimited power to grant pre-emptive pardons to himself and whomever he chooses.

Biden Doth Protest Too Much. Biden and his aides have been gaslighting throughout his presidency and long before it. Now there are the lies about Biden's performance in his disastrous debate. His spokesperson, Karine Jean-Pierre, said on Wednesday that Biden was jetlagged before the debate (despite eleven days since significant travel), that he had a cold (despite looking perfectly well during appearances the night of and the day after the debate), that he had "a bad night" (just one?), and that he was burdened with the duties of his job (isn't everyone?). The fact is, as Carl Bernstein put it, Biden displayed signs of similar dysfunction dozens of times before the debate. Biden did not suffer an off night on Tuesday — he has been "off" for years, making horrible decisions that have resulted in the deaths of American servicemen and endangered overseas forces and those of our allies while harming our economy at home. Now comes the biggest lie of his presidency: the assertion that he is not considering withdrawing from the presidential race. Whether or not he actually withdraws or resigns, it is ludicrous to pretend that Biden has not contemplated doing so.

The Left Is Coming Undone. [Scroll down] Hillary said she was behind Joe all the way. The campaign said Joe had a cold. Jill scolded America and her Cabinet for believing there was a problem. Then it changed. Nancy Pelosi [has been] asking if this was an episode or a condition. It was reported that Obama was fine with an open convention to pick the nominee. Many other Democrats continue to say Joe may not be up to it after all, and he should step down. Confusion reigns. This has no easy fix — mainly because all their choices in this matter have negatives. Each one carries deep, difficult problems. If they get rid of Joe, Kamala is next in line. Possibly the only Democrat who could do worse than Joe is his V.P. Let's just say her cluelessness, her lack of speaking capacity, is as big a problem as Joe's. The Trump campaign would easily pigeonhole her. She is a disaster, as Tulsi Gabbard showed in her famous debate performance. If they get rid of Kamala, they send a terrible message to their DIE-saturated base. They cannot easily rid the ticket of the first female V.P. "of color." Plus she is the only one who can legally control the current campaign money. A mess, foisted upon themselves. Their own stupidity and uncodified rules did this.

'Pro-Democracy' Democrats Tell 14.3 Million Dem Voters: Drop Dead. Biden secured his party's nomination in epic fashion:
• He scored 14,324,396 primary votes, or 87% of those cast. In second place, "Uncommitted" took 703,897 votes, as 4.3% of primary participants expressed their displeasure with his policies on Gaza. And Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., won 525,408 votes, 3.2% of total.
• Biden controls 3,894 delegates; 98.9% of those who will convene in Chicago in August are pledged to Biden. Thirty-six are "Uncommitted," and Phillips wields four delegates. Perhaps he will take them to dinner.
• Biden dominated 56 of 57 primaries, caucuses, and other contests. True, Jason Palmer gained 20,926 votes and all three of American Samoa's delegates, but Biden pocketed every other state and territory.
Fully 14.3 million primary voters picked Biden for four more years, yet Democrats are plotting and planning in broad daylight to catapult him into the Chesapeake.

This Was The Moment This Black Woman Discovered Biden Hates Black People. Not only did Biden shun the black girl, not once, but twice, and one of the old white hags that Biden favored cursed her for holding a sign. Look at the evil in that woman's face. It gets worse. The black girl was pulled from the back row and placed up front where cameras could see her. She was nothing more than a political stunt for Biden to gain appeal with black voters, and he ignored her. [Video clip]

Democrats Got Their Dream Wish, Now They Have to Live With It. There is a stunning number of ironies in the Trump-Biden rematch. At the top of the list is Biden's belief that he is the only one who could beat Trump. At a NATO conference on March 24, 2022 Biden quipped to a reporter "In the next election, I'd be very fortunate if I had that same man running against me." Comedian Bill Maher Commented: "The whole rationale for Biden running has always been I'm the only guy who can beat Trump. Now I think it's inverted. He's the only guy who can lose to him."

Livid Jill Biden [is] "Lashing Out" at Those Who Want Dementia Joe to Step Aside. Joe Biden's attempt to calm the waters following his debate debacle last week has gone horribly wrong with his poll numbers completely collapsing and Democrats abandoning his sinking ship daily. Biden's interview with Clinton crony George Stephanopoulos did not fare much better either as he was confused and made multiple delusional remarks throughout. However, despite countless calls from Democratic donors and elected officials for Biden to leave the race, he and his family remain defiant. His chief enabler and handler, Jill Biden, has proved particularly intractable.

False pride. Pride. Everyone is so proud. [...] Hunter Biden is proud. And therefore defiant. And his dad, the president, claims he is "the smartest man I know." And who would know better than Old Joe? No wonder Hunter is proud. Dr. Jill Biden is proud, too. Of her husband. She exclaimed to him (of his recent debate performance) "You answered every question ... !" Well, sort of ... and not at all well, but, hey, ice cream and a gold star for the commander-in-chief.

Is Jill Biden Lady MacBeth? Ex-husband Says She "Wants to Be President". Some may want to praise Jill Biden for standing by husband Joe after his dementia-affected debate performance last week. But in reality she's standing on him, say critics — in a quest to maintain her prestige and power. [...] Really, this situation is reminiscent of how Edith Wilson supposedly ran the country for a year and a half a century ago while her husband, President Woodrow Wilson, was gravely ill. After all, some say that Joe now does whatever Jill says, and whoever controls his pen can determine what laws and executive orders are signed. But the federal government was far smaller and the world far bigger in 1920 and, whatever Mrs. Wilson's motivations, Jill is a prestige (and perhaps power?) seeker. Why, she reportedly wanted her Ed.D. (no she doesn't have a Ph.D.) — acquired with a dissertation as bad as Joe's debate performance — because she desired a "doctor" title before her name. She insists on being called doctor, too. And now her husband's and country's well-being are being subordinated to her disordered desires.

The White House Mummy. The puppeteers of the still-living-in-Washington Mummy decided that one shameful performance by the disobedient ex-favorite was not enough. The first episode — the debate with Donald Trump — did not put an end to it. In the second episode, entitled "The Interview," the Clinton clan chose a functionary and part-time ABC journalist, Stephanopoulos, as the political executioner. However, Stephanopoulos's interlocutor has long been living in the world of his own fantasies. Therefore, he did not even understand that within 22 minutes, the remnants of his political capital were methodically destroyed. [...] So what was the result? The White House Mummy received marching orders from an obsessive nurse named Jill, who for some reason haunts him day and night, stating that they must carry on with the race. That is why Jill's husband declared on July 5, 2024 that he would "defeat Trump again in the 2020 election." From a functional point of view, the White House Mummy is not only decrepit, but also mentally disabled. What conclusions can be drawn from all this? [...]

What to do with Biden? What to do with us? A caucus of timidity about "what to do about Joe," along with the impossible Beltway "surprise" at his current condition, is just so like the swamp — they deny, deny, deny, and then partially deny some more in the face of ever-mounting, crushing confirmation. This is government. They are, falsely, dumbfounded by the truth when it rears its inescapable head. Look, the Dems and Company are saying, "it's very complicated." Well, yeah, they've made it that way — no excuses, please. And, okay, so what is, as a priority, so very complicated about removing a president who is an immediate threat (really, has been since or before he took office — we've got the receipts) to our country's security? "Bear with us for a bit!" But that's just it — we Americans have been bearing with them until they are no longer bearable. Yet here it is: the Democrats — especially the Obamas — have always known about Biden. The CIA has always known about Biden. The DOJ has always known about Biden. Defense has always been in the loop. They have all known, for years, before and into his vice presidency, that Biden is on the take. Because they all know him and/or of him, they all control him. This is not all just down to Jill — who also knows about Biden.

The eyebrow-raising moments from Biden's ABC interview: Doing the 'goodest' job he can. President Biden dodged questions about taking a neurological test and dismissed concerns about his age and ability to serve a second term during his first post-debate interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on Friday, which was meant to re-assure Americans concerned about his candidacy. The president's comments failed to calm the storm over his debate performance. Biden at one point suggested he was doing the "goodest job" he could, according to the ABC News transcript. He also seemed somewhat unsure if he'd watched his own performance, saying, "I don't think I did, no."

Biden's Pants-On-Fire Lie That Nobody Noticed In His ABC News Interview. Of the many falsehoods, exaggerations, and evasions President Joe Biden uttered in his ABC News interview that aired over the weekend, one went completely overlooked. And it was his most brazen. Biden might not have looked senile in his 20-minute sit-down talk with "journalist" George Stephanopoulos, but he didn't assuage anyone who doubts his ability to tell fact from fiction. [...] But one of his lies really caught our attention, both because we hadn't heard this one before, and because it was particularly outrageous. "One thing I'm proudest of," he said, "is, remember when my economic plan was put forward, a lot of the mainstream economists said it's not going to work. Well, guess what? We now have 16 Nobel laureates, 16 of them in economics, saying Biden's next term would be — based on what he wants to do, an enormous success." We've already noted in this space that 13 of those 16 economists predicted that Biden's "American Rescue Plan" would cut inflationary pressures, so their promise about his next four years should be considered equally worthless.

Joe Biden's First Post-Debate Interview Just Dug Him Into a Deeper Hole. President Joe Biden gave his first post-debate television interview to reassure Americans he could handle another four years in office — but it turns out, it wasn't just one "bad night." After a shaky debate performance against former President Donald Trump last week, Biden has faced an avalanche of pressure to drop out of the 2024 race, citing his cognitive decline. Biden, who says he's staying in the race, has defied calls to drop out of the running, confident he will beat Trump. The 81-year-old president agreed to a sit-down interview with ABC News's George Stephanopoulos because he said he would not let a 90-minute debate overshadow all of his so-called "accomplishments" from the past three years. Stephanopoulos asked Biden if his disastrous debate performance was a "bad episode or the sign of a more serious condition?" Biden's excuse? He was "exhausted." However, the host pushed back, pointing out that Biden had spent the entire week prior vacationing at Camp David.

Biden Claims to Have 'Put NATO Together' but Was Just 6 Years Old When It Was Founded. President Joe Biden's interview with George Stephanopoulos was better than his debate performance last Thursday, that much can be said. That was due to the fact that almost anything that wasn't the debate last Thursday would be better than the debate last Thursday. If those were the low expectations, that bar was cleared, scarcely. Other than that, it was a disaster. Take Biden's answer at the top of the interview when he was asked by George Stephanopoulos, ABC's lobber of softballs for the evening, if he knew how bad things were going during the debate.

ABC interview proves that Joe Biden is in complete senile denial. George Stephanopoulos, former Bill Clinton adviser and the ultimate Democratic insider, held an intervention masquerading as an interview Friday night. Rather than ask tough questions about President Biden's mental deficiencies and the message it sends to our allies and enemies, he begged in a dozen different ways: Do you really think you can beat Donald Trump? Are you fooling yourself about how sharp you are? [...] Stephanopoulos rightly pointed out that "exhaustion" was a weird excuse, considering he had more than a week of rest at Camp David (with 11 am work calls and afternoon naps). No, I was sick, Biden claimed, bad cold. "Bad night," he insisted, repeating a scripted talking point. Just an episode. He previously told a group of governors that the answer was simple: No more nights.

The Diagnosis is In, and Joe's Not Going to Get Well. [Quoting somebody else:] Mr. Biden has Parkinsonism, an umbrella term that refers to neurologic conditions that cause slowed movements, rigidity, and tremors. By observation, he has a masked face, reduced blinking, stiff and slow gait, hunched posture, low volume voice, imbalance, freezing, mild cognitive disturbance, and difficulty turning. I have seen one video of tremor. All these diagnose Parkinsonism. He would need further investigation by experts to determine which specific disease within the broad term he has, such as idiopathic Parkinson's disease or another specific disease. [...] [End quote] [...] Biden is publicly demonstrating a severe impairment from an irreversible disease. Meds may make him look better in the moment, but they don't change the facts. He's not running the executive branch because he's incapable of running it. Whether a single person or a cabal is the "man behind the curtain" does not matter. Joe's the perfect hand puppet for them because he doesn't even know he's being used. Jill leads him by the hand, and he signs whatever is put in front of him. I don't know which statute unlawful puppeteering violates, but America cannot allow it to continue.

An Hour-Late Biden Burns Wisconsin Down With His Senility, Gets Trolled by His Own Supporters. The comeback tour is on after Joe Biden announced he's staying in the race, and it's going about as well as you'd expect. By well, I mean it's an absolute catastrophe for his campaign. On Friday, the president showed up in Wisconsin to hold a "rally." The plan was simple. Have Biden yell from a teleprompter for a few minutes while appearing somewhat lucid. If he could pull that off, perhaps the White House would have the fodder necessary to push back on the current narrative about the president's senility. So yeah, that didn't happen. Biden was over an hour late for the event, only reinforcing the fact that he's struggling to make public appearances. As to the crowd? It didn't exactly scream enthusiasm either. [Tweet with video clip]

The Kamala Harris Delusion. Democrats find themselves at a crossroads that we haven't seen in presidential politics. While there have been past instances of presidents suffering from physical or mental decline, it has never happened in the internet age where it's impossible to keep things under wraps, and to the extent that any cover-up of Joe Biden's mental and increasingly physical decline was succeeding, it all blew up in late June after the president showed the world who he was on the debate stage. That's left Democrats scrambling for a solution. Do they allow Biden to take them down with him, or do they make some kind of move to force him out? It's impossible to answer that question without considering the alternative: Kamala Harris. As I've opined several times since this rolling disaster for the White House began, there is no viable scenario where Harris can be passed over were Biden to step aside. A party that is built on diversity quotas can't plug in Gavin Newsom for the "first black female vice president." It would tear the party apart, and I think there's been a realization of that over the past few days.

A Few Uncharitable Thoughts From Me About POTATUS Being Publicly Peeled. [Scroll down] [W]e saw Biden for what he was when he was running... well, being hidden... we see you all now, pretending that this is somehow a revelation from above and not something every last one of the Democratic party and the media has worked to conceal from the American people. A collusive effort to perpetuate a fraud of competence on the American people with a vastly mentally compromised vessel, the likes of which I do not believe this country has ever experienced. [...] There is so much speculation about "Does he stay or does he go?" If he goes — drops out of the campaign, says he'll sit out — he can't be incapable of running for reelection but capable of running the country. If Biden pulls out, he and his gang of sporty thieves are GONE NOW. He has to resign as president. Who and what does that leave us?

Democrat Governors Say They Support Joe Biden Staying in Race After Meeting With Him at the White House. Democrat governors from across the country met with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris at the White House today amid cries from many in the party and the media for Joe to step aside. A few of them emerged from the meeting and spoke to the press, saying that they are standing by Joe Biden and support his decision to stay in the race. They repeated the claim that Biden just had a 'bad night' at the debate.

Apparently the governors met with Kamala Harris, and decided Joe Biden wasn't so bad.

Harriet Hagemen Eviscerates Joe Biden and the Pretending all Around Him. Harriet Hageman is on my personal short list of people I hope President Trump is considering for vice president. During a recent interview Hageman shows she is not going along with the pretending. Every word about Joe Biden and the length of time the issues have been visible is correct and accurate. "Who is running our country?" [Video clip]

Americans Want to Know Who is Really in Charge in the White House. In last Thursday's presidential debate, we saw the most decisive loss ever by an incumbent American president. Biden's performance was so abysmal that it raises serious questions about how he can continue to function as president, especially in his role as commander-in-chief. [Advertisement] Donald Trump dominated the debate, making important new criticisms that Biden failed to answer — especially how the surge in illegal immigration during the Biden presidency is hurting social security. Trump put Biden on the defensive, parried tough questions, and pointed out how many of Biden's statements were incoherent. [Advertisement] Biden could hardly have done worse. He was incoherent, lost his train of thought and appeared confused. He offered no believable defenses for his record as president. The defenses he did provide made no sense. [Advertisement] The left-wing publication Slate gave this stark assessment of Biden's performance in the debate, claiming it "revealed that [he] is indeed an old man who appears to be in no condition to be running this country, even now — not to mention in another four years." [Advertisement] Many Americans had the same concern after the debate.

Just call him President Hunter Biden. The recent presidential debate demonstrated how badly Joe Biden's mental deterioration has skidded. Never particularly bright to start with, what little mental acuity he did have is now in steep decline, raising the question of who runs the country while he's gibbering unintelligible statements. That used to be a parlor game, or a right-wing conspiracy theory, now it's a question that's for real. The usual candidates mentioned are smarter leftists such as George or Alex Soros or Barack Obama. But Biden doesn't listen to Obama very much and hasn't met with him in the wake of his debate disaster. Many Obama operatives are long gone from Joe's cabinet. What was last heard was that Obama couldn't get his phone calls through. [...] That leaves Jill Biden, who most certainly is issuing Joe his orders and insulating him from any exposure to outside naysayers. But it's worse than just Jill — the reports are coming out that it's Hunter now taking on the role of White House gatekeeper, shielding Joe from any exposure to the outside world, and advising him on matters of state and appearance. Hard-living Hunter, fresh from a felony conviction on a gun charge, is calling the shots now for the president of the United States.

Dementia Joe Is Easy To Defeat. Beating Democrats' Election Machine Is Another Story. President Joe Biden's abysmal debate performance may have been the worst since Richard Nixon sweat profusely and appeared grayish while debating John F. Kennedy. Biden's campaign should be dead in the water after last Thursday. But thanks to Democrats' efforts to alter and exploit our election system, winning elections isn't as simple as just being a coherent candidate. [...] The man with the nuclear codes is only really alert between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Axios reported, citing White House aides. European leaders were also reportedly concerned about Biden's ability to lead, even before the debate. But by breaking and bending election laws for years, Democrats have changed the landscape of American elections — and built in a safety net that helps them drag subpar candidates across the finish line.

Joe Biden, 81, describes himself as a black woman during radio interview. Joe Biden described himself as a black woman during a radio interview flub, as calls mount for the 81 year-old president to drop his re-election bid. The gaffe-prone president, 81, stumbled over his words during Thursday's interview with Philadelphia's WURD, seemingly mixing himself up with his Vice President Kamala Harris. 'By the way, I'm proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, first black woman... to serve with a black president. Proud to be involved of the first black woman on the Supreme Court. There's so much that we can do because, look... we're the United States of America.'

Biden's Interview on Philadelphia Radio Was a Total Disaster. Joe Biden is too old and slow to be president. There is only one way to counter this since Biden can't de-age: he must go out in public and do as many media hits as possible. What about trip-ups? Well, that's the problem. If he hides, he reinforces that devastating poll showing that 72 percent think he's too old to be president. If he goes out there and has another mental stumble, it could end his presidency. Both paths can lead to election-killing endings for the Biden administration. [...] Yet, the kickoff to the Biden rehabilitation tour was a disaster. It must kill these Biden staffers who know there's nothing they can do to quell the ongoing uprising against Joe Biden after his disastrous June 27 debate with Donald Trump. The president's interview on Philadelphia radio was a mixture of sadness and his usual half-brain-dead self: he described himself as a black woman: "By the way, I'm proud to be, as I said, the first Vice President, the first black woman, to serve with a black president."

Biden Tells Black-Owned Philly Radio Station That He's "Proud" to Be "The First Black Woman to Serve with a Black President". Joe Biden sat down for a pre-recorded interview with black-owned Philly-based radio station WURD to discuss his campaign strategy after his disastrous debate. Biden did two pre-recorded radio interviews following last week's debate — one with Wisconsin-based WAUK and the other with Philly-based WURD. Both interviews aired on Thursday morning. Biden's wires got crossed as he tried to boast about his VP Kamala Harris and his days serving as Obama's Vice President.

Biden invokes JFK in cringeworthy attempt to relate to minorities in rambling black radio interview. President Biden told a black radio station in an interview released Thursday that he understood their struggle for representation — because he didn't think Catholics could be president before John F. Kennedy was elected more than six decades ago. Biden, 81, told Pennsylvania radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders that he knew what his nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court meant to "a young girl who is in school and having trouble." "I looked at John Kennedy and said, 'Well, he — John — he got elected. Why can't I get elected?'" the president said. "People need things to look up to." Seconds earlier, Biden made the bizarre and nonsensical claim that "I'm the first president that got elected statewide in the state of Delaware, when I was a kid," a lapse that will do nothing to quell concerns over his advanced age, [...]

The Conspiracy of Silence to Protect Joe Biden. President Joe Biden walked before a row of flags and took his place at a lectern stamped with the presidential seal. A few feet in front of him, thin panes of teleprompter glass, programmed with prewritten remarks, were positioned to meet his stare as he spoke into a microphone that would carry his voice through a sound system. His White House press secretary looked on. So did several senior White House officials. Anxiety clung to the humid summer air. What the president was about to say might determine the future of his presidency and perhaps the Republic itself. Yet this was not to be some grand pronouncement about war or peace or a shift in domestic policy. He was not delivering an official address or even a rally speech. He was not onstage in a stadium or auditorium or perched on a platform in a gilded government or hotel ballroom. He was not speaking to a crowd of thousands or even hundreds. There would be no video of his statement carried live to the world. There would be no photos. And there would be no published audio. In a tent on the backyard patio of a private home in suburban New Jersey, the president was eye to eye with a small group of powerful Democrats and rich campaign donors, trying to reassure them that he was not about to drop dead or drop out of the presidential race.

The Editor says...
He needs a teleprompter for that? The mere presence of a teleprompter should tell the big donors everything they needed to know.

The United States cannot afford a 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. president. [Scroll down] My own view is that the Twenty-Fifth Amendment ought to be dusted off and applied to Joe Biden. Section One: "In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President." From Section Four: "Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President." If there is a dispute, Congress decides by a two-thirds vote of both Houses. As a preliminary, the audio tape of Robert Hur's interview with Biden should be released worldwide the public can understand what Hur meant when he said this "elderly man with a poor memory" was unfit to stand trial (but he can continue as president of the United States?).

Replacing Biden Won't Wash Away His Stench. Calls for President Joe Biden to bow out of the presidential race are widespread. It goes without saying that they're all politically motivated. The corporate media has not suddenly discovered that Biden is senile, as they claim. They've known all along, but simply decided that the president's liabilities far outweigh his assets. For months, it's been Donald Trump's race to lose — and Biden's disastrous debate performance ensured that a comeback would be all but impossible. Replacing him might be the Democrats' last best hope, a true Hail Mary. But even if they pull it off, it won't wash away the stench of Biden's administration and all those who covered for it.

I don't know who's running the country, but it's definitely not Joe Biden. I wasn't surprised to see how badly President Joe Biden performed last week in his first debate showdown with former President Donald Trump. [...] Biden is not in a position to be running for another four years as president. I don't see how he's capable of finishing out this term. His debate fiasco led to immediate calls from Republicans for Vice President Kamala Harris and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, since it strains credulity to think Biden is actually running the country. [...] It's not a stretch to say that the first lady is pulling a lot of the strings that her husband can no longer pull. And she doesn't want to give up that power.

Joe Biden Is Simply Not There. American presidential debates in the modern era have a storied history — and an equally storied history of gaffes and fumbles that turned the course of a campaign. [...] None of them — not one — comes even close to the disaster endured by President Joe Biden on the evening of Thursday, June 27th. Endured is perhaps the wrong word, as it suggests an outside phenomenon inflicted upon a victim. Chosen is more apt, because the historically early debate was a positive choice made by the Biden campaign. They proposed it, and challenger President Donald J. Trump accepted it. They wanted it — and they got it. What they got was what all of America saw that evening: a doddering, soft-spoken, confused, and senescent man, unfit for the task at hand — to say nothing of the task of the presidency. From the opening, the president was perplexed at best and belligerently baffled at worst, descending alternately into malapropism, non sequitur and incoherence.

Dems who demanded the 25th Amendment for Trump swallow their tongues on Biden. Democrats who clamored to have then-President Donald Trump removed from office by invoking the 25th Amendment have remained noticeably silent on using the method on President Joe Biden. Amid the fallout from Biden's epic debate failure last week in his face-off against Trump, Democrats have called for him to step aside as the nominee while others have staunchly defended him, insisting Americans ignore their own eyes. But it seems there have not been calls from top Democrats to trigger the 25th Amendment as Republicans have floated the idea. "Over the past 3 years, it has become painfully clear that our inaugurated President has slipped into a rapid decline," said Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) on Wednesday.

Stop Calling It The "Democratic" Party. This morning, Jeh Johnson, the former Secretary of Homeland Security under Obama, went on MSNBC to make the case for Joe Biden's stay in the race. "A presidency is more than just one man... I would take Joe Biden at his worst day at age 86 so long as he has people around him like Avril Haines, Sam Power, Gina Raimondo supporting him, over Trump any day." I'm sorry, but democracy doesn't work that way. Americans elected Joe Biden, not Avril Haines, Sam Power, and Gina Raimondo. Sure — all presidents rely on unelected advisors. But at the end of the day we expect that the person the majority voted for will make the decisions. That's clearly not the case with Biden. As we saw in the debate, he's unable to speak clearly. And that means he's unable to think clearly. [Paywall.]

The Editor says...
[#1] Only one person can legally be the president. There's only one name on the ballot (from each party) for that position. The notion that the presidency is the collective output of a committee is false. When Trump was president, you will recall that the easily-offended baby-killing socialists were fixated on one man as the object of their indignation, so they understand that there's only one POTUS. [#2] The people who say they would prefer Biden over Trump "any day" are the people would would never vote for Trump under any circumstances. It's not just a comparison of one man to another, it's absolutely rigid opposition to Trump, no matter what the other candidate(s) stand for.

How Biden's Mental Decline Went From 'Misinformation' to Fact in a Week. On CNN today, Carl Bernstein, of Watergate fame, reports that people close to Joe Biden — people "who loved him, have supported him, and among them are some people who would raise a lot of money for him" — say his disastrous debate performance wasn't a "one-off." There have been, according to these insiders, "15, 20 occasions in the last year and a half when the president has appeared somewhat as he did in that horror show that we witnessed." Yeah, we know. All of us saw the horror show in a bunch of videos you hacks kept telling us was "misinformation" a week ago. Last month, for instance, the same network's Dem apparatchik Oliver Darcy attacked the "glaring problems" of a well-sourced Wall Street Journal piece detailing a litany of Biden's slips. Not long before the first presidential debate, CNN ran another piece headlined, "Right-wing media outlets use deceptively cropped video to misleadingly claim Biden wandered off at G7 summit."

Who's Really Running the Country? Who's running the country, anyway? If Joe Biden's dementia keeps him on the sidelines for most of the day, somebody's pulling strings, making deals, and sending messages. Who is that, exactly? The answers are becoming more clear. Everyone has now figured out that Barack Obama's fingerprints are all over the Biden Administration. Indeed, his fondest wish has come true. [...] Former Obama White House staffers are in the Biden West Wing, such as adviser Anita Dunn and her husband Bob Bauer, who is Joe Biden's attorney. Many more are outside the wire and no more than a phone call away. Obama lives a short distance away in the swank Kalorama area of D.C. when he's not in his other mansions. Ron Klain, who worked in both the Clinton and Obama Administrations, as Vice President Biden's Chief of Staff, came on board as CoS for President Biden, left in 2023 to rejoin his old law firm, and remains a Biden confidant.

Colonel Macgregor: Biden's Cognitive Decline Makes It Obvious the US gov't Is in 'Unelected Hands'. Retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor has said that "the governing power" of the U.S. lies "in unelected hands" after the first presidential debate highlighting President Joe Biden's cognitive decline to the whole world. In a video message published on the YouTube channel Our Country Our Choice, MacGregor expressed his concern for the U.S. after Biden's catastrophic showing in the first presidential debate on June 27. [Video clip]

Really Think About What It Means That the US President Has Dementia. It's very revealing how everybody's focusing on what Biden's dementia-addled debate performance says about his ability to win re-election instead of on the fact that the current, sitting president of the United States has dementia. If you were lucky enough to have missed the debate, Biden was so confused and zoned out that not only did CNN's audience overwhelmingly say Trump won while the word "dementia" was sent trending on Twitter, but it was also uniformly acknowledged to have been a horrifying catastrophe by Democratic Party operatives and liberal media pundits, who are now widely suggesting that the president should withdraw from the race. But the conversation has almost entirely revolved around Joe Biden as a presidential candidate, with relatively little attention going to the fact that this person is the president right now. Everyone's talking about whether Biden can assure American voters that he has what it takes to be president, and nobody seems all that concerned about the fact that he is already president and will remain so for half a year.

Biden's Talk With 'Key Ally' Has Everyone on High Alert. The cacophony of criticism surrounding embattled President Joe Biden has reportedly reached the "Big Guy" himself, causing the commander-in-chief to voice concerns about a premature end to his political career to close allies, according to a report. "President Biden has told a key ally that he knows he may not be able to salvage his candidacy if he cannot convince the public in the coming days that he is up for the job after a disastrous debate performance last week," The New York Times reported Wednesday morning. Indeed, the stakes are incredibly high. "The president, who the ally emphasized is still deeply in the fight for re-election, understands that his next few appearances heading into the holiday weekend — including an interview scheduled for Friday with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News and campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — must go well," the Times emphasized.

Journalists: Don't Blame Us, We Were Just Following Orders. Democrat donors and elected officials aren't the only rats scrambling to get off a sinking ship. Reporters are on the same ship and have lived there for quite a while. They know they better jump while they still can. But they've got a problem: they have participated in the coverup just as much as the president's team. [Tweet] Last month, when the Wall Street Journal published the least surprising story in American history — that Joe Biden appears to have slowed down a teeny tiny, almost unnoticeable bit — the rest of the mainstream media jumped all over them and accused them of spreading propaganda. Last Thursday's debate exposed the hoax. What to do? The "modified limited hangout" is their current answer: admit to a small offense to hide the fact that they committed a much larger one.

Reports: Obama Told Joe That It's Over and He Can't Win. I know he left Fox News amid controversy. Still, what Bill O'Reilly told Glenn Beck does dovetail with other reports about the Biden family and close advisers discussing 2024 with the president in the aftermath of a brutal debate performance against Donald Trump. The former president drove over Biden with a tank in what was probably the easiest debate for Trump in his short, meteoric political career. The Camp David gathering ended with Joe being urged by his arguably psychopathic family to remain in the race: Jill wants to cling to power like Lady Macbeth. At the same time, Hunter needs daddy to stay in office to keep the government influencing scheme alive. Remember, Hunter has mountains of legal bills to pay. Yet, there were reportedly other voices that O'Reilly mentioned who were also in the 'just drop out' camp, one of which was former President Barack Obama. Obama and former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain were brutal in their assessment of the president's standing in the race, saying that he had zero shot at winning and remaining in this contest is akin to assisting evil.

Joe Biden Just Destroyed Himself and the Media. Last week, President Joe Biden gave the worst debate performance on the presidential stage in history. Looking ancient, gazing glassy-eyed and slack-jawed out of frame, jabbering nonsensically — Donald Trump clocked him with the signally true observation, "I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence, and I don't think he knows what he said either" — Biden not only exposed himself, he exposed his administration and his media lackeys as liars. For years, the American public has believed, correctly, that Joe Biden is not up to the job. The White House lied. They said that he wasn't just up for the job — he was the most coherent and incisive president in modern history. [...] Then Joe Biden went out and demonstrated that he belongs in an old age home. He confirmed what we all knew, live. For 90 minutes. In doing so, he put everyone around him in a terrible bind. The media were forced to dissociate from Biden, declaring themselves shocked — shocked! — that Biden was sundowning.

Medicine Degrades When It Becomes Politicized. [Scroll down] Biden does not live in a world of a solitary episode of cognitive impairment. He has taken up permanent residence in the Land of Cognitive Impairment. So many episodes in so little time. The history of his struggles with cognition is out there for all to see. Given the multiple cognitive impairment events, if one applies the authors' analysis, Biden suffers from a cold medicine-secreting tumor of lasting duration. Further adding to what I believe is intentional deception is the following: ["]Biden's symptoms appeared consistent with someone suffering from temporary drug-induced cognitive impairment. We now know he had a bad cold during the debate.["] The authors could not be more in error. Neither they nor we "know" that Biden had any cold whatsoever. Let alone "a bad cold." We are told he had one. We do not "know." They do not "know."

Biden Didn't JUST Need a Teleprompter for Private Remarks. These Other Details Are Wild. Joe Biden reportedly required a teleprompter to deliver a few brief remarks at an East Hampton fundraiser over the weekend, raising further questions about his fitness. Supporters at the event were alarmed Biden needed a teleprompter to deliver his remarks, with one attendee saying, "If you believe the stakes of the race are what they are... you can't be like, 'No, you all didn't see what you just saw.'" Following Biden's disastrous debate performance last Thursday, some Democrat lawmakers — along with the corporate media — have been openly critical of the White House's handling of the 81-year-old incumbent. The lack of access granted to Biden by his inner circle has especially been a point of contention.

Brutal Leaked Internal Polling for Biden Shows Just How Badly the Debate Damaged Him. Right now the Democrats are in a panic about Joe Biden and whether they should make him step aside. Unfortunately, whatever they do, he's still occupying the office and that's a dangerous thing. Democrats are responsible for putting us all in this situation, along with the media that refused to be honest about Biden's condition. One of the reasons they are freaking out so much is how brutal the internal polling is. The post-debate public polls have been bad, but this is even worse, with him sliding not only in every battleground state but states that aren't even supposed to be battlegrounds now going toward former President Donald Trump.

What is wrong with Biden — Jill Biden, that is? In 2020, Jill Biden was 68 and she and Joe were the very wealthy owners of several lavish homes and who knows how many other sources of affluence. By appearances, I'm guessing that Jill is also quite healthy. That is why it stretches the imagination to seriously believe that either she or her husband — who was then pushing a doddering 78 — wanted to spend the next four years of their lives glad-handing foreign potentates, fielding the conflicting and contentious demands of the American electorate, or generally weathering the ferocious slings and arrows aimed relentlessly at the highest office in the land. For Joe Biden, this would be a lot of been-there/done-that, so what was his race for the presidency really about? Even more curious, what was in it for Jill?

Littered With Lies. The day after Joe Biden turned in the horrific debate performance that many of us knew was coming, and after countless Democrat apparatchiks finally had to admit what many of us have long known — that Joe Biden is unfit to serve as U.S. President — Biden got out on the campaign trail and declared, ["]Folks, I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong.["] Prior to this, immediately after the debate, and just after treating her husband like a five-year-old who had just finished his tee-ball game, Jill Biden led the faithful in declaring Donald Trump a liar. [...] Even more absurd is the Democrat Party touting their candidate — Joe Biden, or whoever it turns out to be — as an agent of truth. When it comes to the most important moral issues of our time, few entities have been on the wrong side of the truth more often than has the Democrat Party and their apologists.

An Oddly Orange Joe Biden Responds to Trump Immunity Decision, Raises More Questions About His Fitness. Joe Biden shuffled out to a White House podium on Monday and did nothing to assuage the questions surrounding his fitness for the office. Addressing the Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity, which delivered Donald Trump a partial victory, the current president misrepresented the U.S. Constitution and attempted to change the narrative surrounding his failing campaign. [Advertisement] He was also... oddly orange. [Tweet with video clip] After Biden faceplanted on the national stage, showing ample evidence of his senility at last Thursday's debate, his handlers decided to smear him in bronzer to make him look less pale. I'm not kidding. I'm not being hyperbolic. It's not editing on the video itself. From multiple sources, you can see the dude is orange in all the video clips.

Gullibility 101. We watch Washington D.C. like we'd watch a ship steaming way too fast toward a crowd on the pier. Our nation's capital is so filled with corruption, ladder-climbing, and plain stupidity that it's embarrassing to watch. This is America?!? Yet the Democrats we know personally are not guilty of those sins. Many are smart, hard-working, kind, educated people and yet they voted for the wasted shell in the oval office — a man who is not only suffering from dementia, but has never been very bright, or very good. A lot of these lovely people appear to be planning to vote for him again. How can that be? How can even a third of our compatriots think Biden is okay? I believe it to be one of the most startling paradoxes of our time.

We can't go on together with suspicious minds. We saw with our eyes and heard with our ears that the president of the U.S. cannot put together two sentences. He can't even answer a question about abortion, and threw a wrench in the party's platform by saying that he opposes late-term abortion. Good luck with that one in Chicago. I can't wait for the "abortion is an unconditional right" crowd to explain that one. So here we are. And it will be very hard to go on with suspicious minds as Elvis sang. As I told a friend, if what he saw on Thursday night shocked him, then he needs to switch channels. And we kept saying here, the world leaders who sat with him saw what we saw too. This is no longer a partisan issue. The 46th president of the U.S. can no longer be trusted with the nuclear codes. And U.S. voters deserve to know who has been running the country for the last few years.

Who Is Running This Show. For many in America, the Thursday night debate was an eye-opening event. [...] Panic has set in as these now-enlightened souls wonder if this old man can possibly beat Donald Trump again and save Democracy. These people, who the administration and news media have hoodwinked for three-plus years, are missing the point. The real question after seeing Joe shuffle onto the stage and mumble through every incoherent answer he uttered is who is running the White House, and can Joe Biden hobble to the finish line and safely end the term for this gang who could not shoot right? [...] By the 13-minute mark of the debate, it was clear Joe Biden was not fit to run, nor had he been running this country since 2021. The Democrats are screwed, but so are the American people. The bad guys of the world know that we do not have a President who can protect us, and we are not safe. America is being held hostage by an octogenarian who won't give up the keys.

The Debate Debacle Changes Nothing. Joe Biden is not going anywhere. The fact is that Joe Biden is the nominee, and he will remain the nominee. By the next morning, the rallying and rationalization were in full effect. Obama tweeted about how it's all going to be OK. So did many others after the deathwatch that was the immediate post-debate analysis on the communist channels. And they believe their revised spin. It's remarkable how easily you can convince yourself of what you want to be convinced of. Denial is not just a river in Egypt; it's now the official Democrat campaign strategy. What choice do they have? The Geezer Golem is not going anywhere. Here's the thing — Joe Biden doesn't think he did badly. Joe Biden thinks he did great. The people around him are all telling him he did great, starting with his harridan wife. This echo chamber of idiocy reinforces his determination that he is a visionary megamind whose presence blesses the benighted American people. He thinks he's a genius. In fact, Joe Biden is an idiot and has always been an idiot. And it's all downhill on the IQ Bell Curve from here.

Former WH Photographer Spills the Beans, Details How Biden Aides Hide His Decline From the Public. The dam is crumbling. On Saturday, we brought you the story about how some officials admitted anonymously that Joe Biden is "dependably engaged" during the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. — before or after that, not so much. It's called "sundowning," and it's not what you look for in a commander-in-chief. Now a new report Sunday describes more tactics used by the Biden inner circle to shield the declining president from the scrutiny of the press or even the White House staff. The most [scathing] of the allegations comes this time not from secret sources but from former White House deputy director of photography Chandler West, who posted a post-debate Instagram story that was sharply critical of his former boss.

Report: Joe Biden's Close Aides Hid Him from Others Inside the White House. Some White House aides were shocked at President Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance on Thursday because his close aides have effectively shielded him from them since the beginning of the presidency, according to a report. The Axios report said, "Biden's behavior stunned many in the White House in part because Biden's closest aides — often led by Jill Biden's top aide, Anthony Bernal, and deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini — took steps early in his term to essentially rope off the president."

Surprise, Surprise. Since his hiding-in-the-basement campaign in 2020 "Joe Biden's" Party of Chaos has pretended that he is fit and alert for the job and now all of sudden they pretend to be shocked to see how far gone in the head he really is. The [liars] of the mainstream news media were especially rocked, not by the truth of the situation per se, but at being unmasked as the contemptible, confabulating tools that they've become. The New York Times wheeled around on a dime from their servile lionizing of the presidential hologram they helped create to its editorial board abjectly yelling for him to drop out and get gone. They were joined instantly by a long list of other opinion-shapers, campaign donors, political celebs, and Beltway players. Right after the debate, First lady Dr. Jill led a cheerleading session before a roomful of partisans that went beyond cringeworthy into uncharted territory of mortification. ("You were great, Joe! You answered all the questions!"). By the time the entourage moved to a pre-planned event at a nearby Atlanta Waffle House, "JB" had gone full-on zombie. If all that was intended to be reassuring, the effect was the opposite.

How TDS Destroyed the Democrats. [Scroll down] So, Biden "won," if you want to call it winning, and Trump knew he had been defrauded. He filed many lawsuits, but judges wanted him to identify the specific fraudulent ballots. That was almost impossible because the standards needed to identify those phony ballots had been eliminated months before the election took place. At that point, Joe Biden was in the driver's seat. To be a successful president, all he needed to do was maintain the policies Trump had in place, and show people that he was nicer than the mean billionaire bully. However, that did not happen, thanks to TDS. The hatred of Trump was so great that Biden felt the need to prove his disdain by dismantling any program associated with Trump — even programs that were obviously important and working. As we all know, the results were disastrous, and this led to even more Dem insanity.

Who Should Get To 'Finish The Job'? The Answer Was Clear Before The Debate. Aside from repeatedly calling Donald Trump a liar, the only message President Joe Biden managed to convey during last week's debate was that Trump left him a terrible mess to clean up. The first words out of his mouth in the debate were: "You have to take a look at what I was left when I became president, what Mr. Trump left me. We had an economy that was in freefall." And his closing remarks began: "We've made significant progress from the debacle that was left by President Trump in his — in his last term." It's clear why Biden's debate prep team wanted those to be the first thing he said — before he wandered off into a maze of half-completed sentences. The Biden administration has seen the polls. It knows that the public doesn't view things this way.

Democratic Party Cover-Up [has been] Exposed After Biden Debacle. For five years, honest political commentators have been pointing out the obvious decline of Joe Biden. Physically, he has fallen off his bike, on stage, and the stairs of Air Force One numerous times. These incidents became so much of a concern that Biden started using the "baby stairs" to enter Air Force One to limit the potential for an accident. President Biden no longer walks with confidence but shuffles his feet. He started using special shoes to help him stay upright. However, after the debate on Thursday night, his wife had to make sure he did not fall, so she assisted him as he gingerly descended a few stairs from the CNN stage. Yet, whatever physical decline he has suffered is minimal compared to the massive mental deterioration that has occurred. Comparing his performance in the 2012 vice presidential debate to the debate on Thursday night shows that Biden is a shell of his former self. He was always a blowhard and a liar, but the Biden of 2024 cannot clearly communicate any message.

Does Joe Biden Really Think People Will Believe His New Claim? President Joe Biden is back to lying to the American people. During a fundraiser in New Jersey on Saturday, Biden claimed that he won over more undecided voters than former President Donald Trump post his disastrous debate performance. Biden insisted that the malfunctions he suffered during the 90-minute gaffe-filled debate actually impressed undecided voters rather than deter them from voting for him. Insert laugh track here. "Research during the debate shows us converting more undecided voters than Trump did, in large part because of his conduct on Jan. 6," Biden told the crowd. "People remember the bad things during his presidency." The 81-year-old's bad debate night prompted the country, including Democrats, to call on Biden to drop out of the race, citing his old age and mental acuity. First Lady Jill Biden also tried to fool the crowd into thinking her husband was having just one bad night despite him having countless public malfunctions in the past.

Democratic Amnesia. Let's do some historical searching. It was primary season, 2020. Mayor Pete and Bernie Sanders dominated the early Democratic primaries. Sanders had momentum, he had his "Bernie Bros" and however extreme his positions, he spoke with conviction and force. Nobody ever accused Bernie Sanders of suffering from dementia, however extreme his positions are. The Democrats had a problem. Bernie Sanders might be their nominee. He might lose to Trump, but more importantly, he is now unpalatable to donors and the movers and shakers in the party hierarchy. Bernie frightened them more than Trump. So Representative Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and others magically got all of the middling candidates — Klobuchar, the fake Indian, Mayor Pete, etc. — to drop out and support Biden. Joe never looked back, winning the Palmetto State and everything to follow. Joe Biden becoming the nominee and later president was not a natural, electoral-driven process. It was a backroom deal to keep FrankenSanders from the party's leadership.

Who's Behind This Show? Most now know Joe Biden has serious dementia problems. Many thought this was already true during the last election. They kept him in the basement, he never did much, never campaigned much, never gave many press conferences, and even they were scripted. Since he has been installed to the presidency, he rarely makes appearances, doesn't really take unscripted questions, and has been set up to be hidden most of the time. Things have hit a tipping point with this debate. [...] Joe is not capable of running the country. That's a fact. The bigger question: Who is it that will actually now make the decisions? More important, who has been running this country these years while pretending Joe was President? This is a hard point to get beyond: These people, whoever they are, all knew. Not only did they know, they also pretended Joe was normal. [...] This is the issue: What kind of people would want to pull this travesty off? Answer: Very sick people, people awash in evil, people who value power over all, people who willingly lie and cheat to maintain their power. People who think their moral status is so high they are willing to go into the gutter and use a man with dementia so they can clandestinely run this country.

The Lies We Have Lived Through. After last Thursday's debate, Biden himself laid to rest the Democratic lie that he was robust and in control of his faculties. In truth, he demonstrated to the nation that he is a sad, failing octogenarian who could not perform any job in America other than apparently the easy task of President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief in charge of our nuclear codes. [...] As president, his mental decline progressed geometrically, in the sense that every three months, Biden became far, far worse than during the prior 90 days. His handlers long ago had determined that masking his feebleness at the expense of the security and safety of the nation was a small price to pay to retain power. What followed was the most comprehensive deceit in presidential history, analogous to insisting that frail and dying FDR in 1944 was just fine as the November election approached or that Woodrow Wilson was expertly running the country as he lay bedridden and near comatose.

Jill Biden's delusional if she believes she can save her husband [amd/or] the country after debate debacle. In the aftermath of Joe Biden's debate debacle, there is one constant: Dr. Jill's delusional self-belief that she can save the day. Under the thrall of her Rasputin-like adviser Anthony Bernal, the first lady is acting as if she is the candidate — at the expense of her husband and the country. She is the keeper of Biden delusions. "Joe, you did such a great job," she shrieked after commandeering the microphone at the debate after-party in Atlanta, as her downcast husband stood on stage gaping at her uncomprehendingly. "You answered every question!" she gushed in a gratingly patronizing tone, like a nursery schoolteacher who hates kids. The whole world knew he did a terrible job. Even Joe knew.

Now We Know Who's Really in Charge at the White House. For quite a while now, some of us have been trying to figure out who is actually running the country at the moment. It obviously hasn't been Joe Biden, a fact that should have been made clear during Thursday night's debate for those of you who still had some remaining questions. Some have assumed that it might be a coalition of Jeff Zients and Ron Klain, along with a few other liberal policy wonks. Others have suggested that Barack Obama is still handling things from the background, a possibility that can't be entirely ruled out. We may have gotten a better clue yesterday, however, after the Biden clan retreated once again to Camp David for a scheduled celebrity photo shoot and some private discussions. [...] Obediently, the President emerged from the meeting and announced that he would be staying the course, despite acknowledging that he didn't have "the best debate." (Which is akin to saying that the Titanic ran into a few problems on her maiden voyage.) So it seems safe to say that we know who is calling the shots at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue these days. It's Jill Biden.

Biden, Age, and Elder Abuse. Elder abuse plagues 1 of 6 people 60 years of age and older, according to the World Health Organization. It's nice to see the WHO looking at real public health issues rather than pushing a "pandemic treaty" that would de facto make them king of the world. The WHO definition of elder abuse includes "single or repeated acts causing harm or distress to an older person." This includes "psychological and emotional abuse and serious loss of dignity and respect." Anyone watching the Joe Biden presidency, especially recently, culminating in his embarrassing performance in the June 27 debate against Donald Trump cannot conclude that this was anything other than elder abuse. [Photo] The debate began with Biden's stilted walk to the podium followed by half a minute of gibberish concluding with the inscrutable comment, "We beat Medicare." It only got worse, with Biden staring at the empty room devoid of audience, mouth agape, looking lost and pitiful. What is remarkable is that this was Joe Biden at his best.

Biden's Failing Brain Exposes Deep State Treachery. [Scroll down] You knew that Biden lost his marbles long ago, but the propaganda press has been telling the world that he's just fine for years. [...] Just as reporters in the first half of the twentieth century lied to the American people about FDR's reliance upon a wheelchair, reporters in the first quarter of the twenty-first century have lied to the American people about Biden's debilitating dementia. On June 27, the lid on journalists' barrel of Biden-protecting lies shot right off. Not even halfway through Biden's debate disaster, his communications people were spreading a new lie — that he was suffering from a cold — to explain away his enfeebled and bewildered presence on stage. [...] but the guy had been hiding away at Camp David for over a week! When you first tell the public that you are unable to perform your presidential duties and prepare for a debate at the same time and then tell them that your weeklong debate camp destroyed your immune system, you aren't in a position to inspire sympathy.

Two Worlds. [World #1] In Reality, after the shameful elder abuse on display last Thursday night, Democrat leadership from Hell to breakfast realizes that the scam and sham of Biden as competent, run since before the 2020 Selection, has just been told that Emperor Poopypants has no clothes. They can't dissemble, hide and slide, nor bluff, bluster, and [lie] all the way to Election Day 2024 pretending Biden isn't a profoundly impaired cognitive retard who can't be left unsupervised with anything as little as pointy items or matches. He can't have the nuclear codes, he can't manage the Executive Branch, he can't even manage everyday Executive Branch decisions, and he simply must be removed, if he won't go peaceably. The Congress may begin blanket-vetoing or halting movement on all bills in perpetuity until he's removed, on the perfectly reasonable grounds they can't send legislation for signature to a mental cripple.

Sunday Smiles. One of the more interesting bits of spin — actually, the ONLY bit of spin from the Democrats that is actually working — coming out of the debate was that whatever you think of Joe Biden's performance, Trump spewed nothing but one lie after another. The Democrats keep saying it. The media repeats it endlessly. Joe may have pudding for brains, but Trump is dangerous and lies constantly. On its face, the claim is ridiculous. Joe Biden pushed so many hoaxes during the debate that it was laughable. Snopes just put the final nail in the coffin of the "fine people" hoax just a few days ago, and Biden trotted it out again. It was pathetic. When Biden's mouth is open one of two different things come out: incoherent rambling or some version of a hoax. But the biggest liars who were exposed last night were the mainstream media and all the people who have been telling us that Joe Biden is sharp as a tack, doing handstands while solving the dark matter conundrum and curing cancer every day. We have been treated to endless claims that videos and rumors of Biden's decline are all lies — cheap fakes — and now everybody can see that they have been fed a hoax.

President Biden's debate disaster reveals a campaign built on lies. It was like something out of a Tom Wolfe novel, or worthy of Marie Antionette's "let them eat cake!" contempt for the common folk that precipitated the French Revolution. In Minute One of the presidential debate Thursday night, the Democratic party and the entire class of mainstream media sycophants and pundits were exposed as conspirators in a "Big Lie" — the gaslighting of the American public that President Biden was not only mentally fit but better and wiser than ever for a second term when they knew that was false. The burning question is what drove this self-delusion and the betrayal of the public. Was it lobotomized groupthink? Craven careerism and self-dealing that made them believe they could hold on to power and run the country like some sort of collective-ventriloquist?

Joe and Jill are goners who won't go. Joe Biden just delivered the worst televised debate performance in history. It started in his opening remarks when he hurriedly regurgitated a canned speech like a nervous 11th grader in speech class, it continued into the early stages when he repeatedly suffered brain freezes in describing, for example, how he "beat Medicare," and finally ended mercifully with a forgettable conclusion. Even — especially — Democrats were stunned by his awkward, rambling incoherency and open-mouthed, vacant stares into space. If this were a fight, a TKO would have been called in the first round.

The Curtain of Pretending Has Fallen — Democrats Apoplectic at Horrible Biden Debate Performance. Across the broad political spectrum of leftists and professional Democrats, the apoplexy is consistent. Everyone is freaking out about how terrible Joe Biden did in the debate against President Trump. Biden was incoherent, stumbling, disjointed and generally showing all of the signs of cognitive decline the media have previously denied witnessing. However, even the most political spin-masters on the Democrat side of the spectrum will not spin this one. The curtain of denial and pretending has fallen. The emperor is naked; the crowd admits.

Illegitimate President. I wrote this article in November 2020, before the Basement Dummy took office. I stand by every word. He was a dementia patient before taking office, and that is exactly what Obama and his handlers wanted. Look what that illegal stolen election has wrought. The regime media was always in on it. They all knew Biden was a senile Trojan Horse to usher in the downfall of our nation. They will start WW3 to keep power. Just watch.

Biden Isn't Even a 'Sundowner.' It's Much Worse. Sure, there's talk about how to replace Biden, but that ship sailed months ago. Democrats are now stuck with an impossible situation because not even that little rally in North Carolina the following day, where Biden was livelier, can repair the damage that's been done. In the aftermath, the Biden White House is leaking like a sieve, with aides chirping that the president is only functional during a six-hour window[.]

Bombshell Report: Biden Only Fully Functional From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Joe Biden is only fully functional from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to a report by Axios published Saturday in the wake of Biden's disastrous not-ready-for-primetime debate with President Trump Thursday night. The report states White House staff know there are 'two Bidens': One who is fully engaged for about six hours a day and the one Americans (and the world) saw staring into space and struggling to articulate lucid, complete thoughts during the debate Thursday night. Biden's poor performance at the debate helps explain why he has claimed executive privilege to prevent the public from hearing the audio recordings of his October 2023 interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur in the classified documents investigation. According to a transcript released by Hur, among many miscues, Biden could not remember when he served as vice president or when his son Beau passed away. Hur said he decided not charge Biden for illegally possessing classified documents from his time as senator and vice president because a jury would likely see Biden as a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," — a polite way of saying the president of the United States was mentally incompetent to stand trial.

Biden, 81, has difficulty functioning outside of 6-hour window as aides attempt to spin prez's horrid debate performance: alarming report. Octogenarian President Biden has difficulty functioning outside a six-hour window of daylight, according to an alarming new report. The 81-year-old commander in chief is prone to absent-minded gaffes and fatigue outside of the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or while traveling abroad, White House aides told Axios in a bizarre attempt to spin his disastrous debate performance. During the 90-minute trainwreck of a presidential debate — which kicked off five hours after the president's peak performance window, at 9 p.m. — Biden often appeared vacant or slack-jawed, and on several occasions froze mid-thought, misspoke, or struggled to form coherent sentences.

The Media's Campaign Against Joe Biden Just Got More Intense. The media campaign to pressure Joe Biden into dropping out of the 2024 race reached a new level when another publication urged the aging octogenarian to call it quits. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's editorial board published their piece saying that the Delaware liberal should step aside "for the good of the nation": [Advertisement] [Tweet] [Excerpt] The publication rightly called the 90-minute debate with Donald Trump "excruciating," adding the president "failed to convey a competent and coherent vision for the future of America. He failed to outline the most fundamental aspects of his platform. He failed to take credit for the significant accomplishments of his 3½ years in office." There have been no significant accomplishments under Biden, but you already know that. Of course, they say Trump should have been disqualified due to his 2020 antics but insinuate that the Democratic Party has a deep pool of talented leaders to take on this task. Where? [...] Democrats are stuck with Biden. The media might not like it, but it's past the point of no return. Jill Biden is also the point of the lance in that discussion; she doesn't want to surrender.

Grifters to the bitter end.
Team Biden Threatens to Keep Cash if He's Replaced. [Scroll down] Donors looking to get Biden to drop out have emphasized that the money raised needs to transfer over to the new candidate. Team Biden however is warning that it's not going to happen. Any new candidate will start with "zero dollars." Officially the Biden campaign is sitting on under $60 million unspent. And not for long since the burn rate is huge. So the threat isn't much of a threat. In a race likely to run into the billions, threatening to abscond with millions is a weak argument.

21 Facts That Joe Biden Doesn't Want You To Know. It takes a lot of gumption to go on television and repeatedly lie to more than 300 million Americans. I honestly don't know how Joe Biden does it. I suppose that after you have been lying for your entire career, lying comes as naturally as breathing does. Sadly, there are still millions of Americans that are falling for his lies after all this time. Biden would like for us all to believe that the economy is "booming", that the southern border is under control, that our communities are safe, and that Ukraine is going to win their war against Russia. Our entire society is literally crumbling all around us, and Biden and his minions have brought us to the brink of global war. I am entirely convinced that he has been the worst president in U.S. history, and that is really saying something. Ultimately, Joe Biden is just another slimy politician that is trying to save his job. I get that. But come on man, how can anyone actually believe the nonsense that he is shoveling?

The Debate is Over and So Is Joe! Before Thursday's CNN debate even started, as Donald Trump deboarded from his plane, it was evident that Melania Trump did not come along to support her man. Jill Biden, however, did come to support her man ... quite literally when she rushed on stage after the debate to help guide him off the platform, taking secure hold of his arm, leading him in the right direction, and then steadying him as he feebly felt out his first step down on the path that will end his career as president. From the first moment of the debate as the current president entered, trouble became evident. Biden strutted onto the platform in his pretend-I'm-strong brisk gate and, turning slightly to the side, beaming as he waved to a crowd that wasn't there in what has become classic Biden style. "Folks, how are you?" said the current president to a room that CNN had said would have no audience, not even family or staff, present. No one but the production team. Biden's main achievement during the debate was that he managed to stand the entire time without falling over ... or falling asleep.

Joe Biden is not fit to be President. Joe Biden's presidency ended last night. He is a lost old man. I was listening on the radio — not watching — so I was attuned to how he sounded, especially when he gave that pathetic stammering response that ended with the bizarre words, "We beat Medicare." We don't need to shame him with more details. But it is clear he shouldn't be President now, and he certainly can't be President through January 2029, when he will be 86. To reelect him is to cause a Constitutional crisis. He needs to step down as the nominee so that the Democrats can decide who will represent them.

The Editor says...
What is the 25th Amendment for, if not this?

Now What? [Scroll down] The path ahead is far from clear. Here are some things we know, and some questions about what we don't. Biden will likely decide whether he is the nominee. A party whose leading lights were unwilling to challenge an 81-year-old incumbent with underwater approval ratings likely won't throw open its convention seven weeks from now against that incumbent's will. If Biden wants to be the nominee, he presumably will be the nominee.

The Editor says...
That's right, Biden will decide. Jill, not Joe.

Joe Biden, advanced dementia patient, enduring symbol of sclerotic late-stage liberal democracy. Joe Biden, sitting President of the United States, in his historic debate with former President Donald J. Trump, on the national debt of the United States: ["]For example, we have a thousand trillionaires in America — I mean, billionaires in America. And what's happening? They're in a situation where they, in fact, pay 8.2 percent in taxes. If they just paid 24 percent or 25 percent, either one of those numbers, they'd raised $500 million — billion dollars, I should say, in a 10-year period. We'd be able to right wipe out his debt. We'd be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do — childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our healthcare system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the — with — with — with the Covid. Excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with — look, if — ... — we finally beat Medicare.["] [...] Nobody can any longer deny that the United States is in the hands of a senile figurehead suffering from serious dementia. Biden remains in office for reasons of convenience and political patronage; who is actually steering the executive branch is anybody's guess.

Don't Let The Elite Get Away With Gaslighting That They Didn't Know About Biden's Senility. Biden's disastrous debate performance last week made it impossible to deny his senility, yet the Western elite is gaslighting they were supposedly oblivious to this until now. [...] The elite shouldn't be allowed to get away with their latest gaslighting and should be exposed for one of the greatest cover-ups in American history. The country is being ruled by a shadowy network of transnational and domestic elites that are united by their radical liberal-globalist ideology. Biden was chosen as the Democrats' candidate in 2020 precisely because he was already senile and therefore completely controllable. That party, which functions as the public face of the above-mentioned elite network, wanted someone who'd do whatever they demanded on the home and foreign policy fronts. In particular, they sought to turn America into a liberal-globalist hellhole while ramping up NATO's containment of Russia in Ukraine, but the second policy backfired after the special operation began.

Biden Cannot be Replaced on Ballot in Three Swing States, Except for Death or 25th Amendment. The Democratic Party is facing a potential crisis. Following Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump, concerns about his fitness to serve have intensified. The debate has left the party in a state of panic, with whispers of Biden stepping down becoming louder. It has always been the plan from the start, which is why they scheduled the debate for this year unusually early. [...] However, there is another potential complication. Biden could stubbornly refuse to step down and continue his campaign until Election Day. If Biden refuses to step down, it would put the Democratic Party in a difficult position. They would have to contend not only with a stubborn incumbent but also with potential backlash from leftists if Kamala Harris is passed over for the nomination.

Colonel Macgregor: Biden's cognitive decline makes it obvious the US gov't is in 'unelected hands'. Retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor has said that "the governing power" of the U.S. lies "in unelected hands" after the first presidential debate highlighting President Joe Biden's cognitive decline to the whole world. In a video message published on the YouTube channel Our Country Our Choice, MacGregor expressed his concern for the U.S. after Biden's catastrophic showing in the first presidential debate on June 27. [Video clip] "President Biden is not fit to discharge the immense duties of the presidency," the army veteran stated. "The alarming evidence of his cognitive decline was on display for all to witness. Yet his enablers and political allies continue to exploit the president to substitute their destructive agenda for the interests of the American people."

All of a Sudden, A Crisis Is Revealed. The first official presidential debate of 2024 was held on June 27, and the reactions are fascinating. [...] While the Right has been talking about this issue for years, this is the first time that most such voices of the Left have done anything but deny the fact of Biden's incapacity. [...] Biden, senileThey weren't embarrassed when he lost focus in public meetings honoring veterans or mourning military losses, wandering off in the middle of the event, leaving the honorees and attendees insulted. Why? They weren't embarrassed when he gave speeches, recounting the life stories of others as if they were his own, as a fabulist imagining histories that could easily be fact-checked and disproven in real time, again and again. Why? They weren't embarrassed when he sniffed the hair of a prime minister or literally bumped heads with a pope. They weren't embarrassed when he had "bathroom malfunctions" on stage in the middle of speeches and meetings with foreign heads of state. [...] But most importantly, they weren't embarrassed when mountains of undeniable evidence proved his criminality — and the criminality of his family — in a pay-for-play pattern that has been going on for decades.

Now for the sitdown: Obama, Klain and Biden meet to discuss replacement, Kamala becomes Fredo -report. Like mafiosos, or the old gray men of the Kremlin trying to figure out how to get rid of Leonid Brezhnev or Konstantin Chernenko, Democrat power players have called in Joe Biden for a sitdown. [...] For those of us who have been wondering who pulls the puppet strings, now we have the answer — Obama, and former chief of staff Ron Klain, who's got 'political operative' written all over him. Since the meeting is supposedly going on around now, one can just imagine how that may go — with Biden bitter and resentful at Godfather Obama's smooth manner, knack for words, two terms, and continued popularity, while Biden himself has none of those gifts. Now he's being told by Obama to step down because disaster is going to be what he gets if he doesn't. Klain the consigliere will be there to suggest muscle. Jill Biden, happy to play the role of Mrs. Wilson, and fond of the perks and travel she gets as first lady, will fight back hard. Joe will stare off into space, losing his train of thought.

I've been watching Joe Biden for 40+ years. I never let go of my view that he's 1) of below average intelligence, and 2) a loathsome human being lacking in character or basic morality. He's a serial liar and always has been. [Tweet]

DOCTOR Jill Biden Is The Puppeteer. She is every bit as despicable as her husband and DOCTOR Jill Biden is the one who is the puppeteer behind Joe Biden. If Joe Biden makes it to November as the Democrat nominee for President of the United States it will be Jill who has done it. Jill will hold on to the Oval Office drapes and they will have to drag her out of the White House. Last night, she helped Joe down the small stairs at the debate, praised him as a good boy at a debate watch party and took him to Waffle House.

It's Clear Ice Queen Jill Biden Does Not Have an Ounce of Compassion for Her Husband. Jill Biden cemented her place in history as the worst wife in presidential history Thursday night. Her behavior following one of the most tragic scenes in presidential debate history has all the markings of elder abuse. [...] By now, you've surely either watched the debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, or you've seen a plethora of clips showing in no uncertain terms that the president is barely functioning cognitively. And you've also seen media personalities on the left stopping just short of setting their hair on fire with sheer panic over the fact that the leader of the free world would barely be capable of tying his own shoes at this point. Dr. Jill Biden, as she is wont to be called, has thus far escaped significant scrutiny. Despite the fact that she is shamelessly abusing this man before America's eyes. Last night's presidential debate clocked in at just over 1 hour, 40 minutes. Significant because it actually ran longer than the time President Biden had been training throughout the week simply to stand.

The Real Reason Biden Isn't Going Anywhere. You've heard this enough already, but it bears repeating: Joe Biden's debate performance on Thursday evening was so bad that the liberal media didn't even attempt to push the Biden campaign's "Biden had a cold" excuse to spin his performance. [...] Biden's performance was so bad that even his biggest supporters wouldn't (and couldn't) spin it as a "win." And, believe it or not, Jill Biden made it worse when the debate was over. Once the debate had officially concluded and Trump left the stage, Joe Biden remained at his podium, waiting until his wife Dr. Jill came to help him. The footage speaks for itself. [Video clip] This moment underscored just how devastating the situation had become for Democrats. After botching the debate, he struggled to walk down just two steps without assistance, a truly alarming sight. His performance was even worse than anyone anticipated — despite his weeklong prep at Camp David. And then there was the post-debate rally. [Video clip] As you can see, Biden, already way past his bedtime, just stood there. This wasn't his moment; it was her moment. She treated her husband like a toddler. If you've ever needed proof that Jill Biden is the reason Joe decided to seek a second term and why he won't drop out, this is it. She's calling the shots, there's no doubt about it. So while many in the party are now worried and want Biden to drop out, the real struggle will be convincing Jill Biden.

We just witnessed the end of Joe Biden's presidency. Whenever CNN put him up on the split screen, he had a thousand-yard stare. He didn't look old. He looked ancient. He looked empty. But at least he wasn't speaking. Because when it was his time to answer, Biden was incoherent. He said he "beat Medicare." Asked about abortion, he randomly started talking about migrant crime. "I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence," former President Donald Trump noted at one point, "and I don't think he knows what he said, either." At one point, Biden just froze. The administration can't say it's a "cheap fake" — everyone saw it happen.

Needless to say, the drugs didn't work. [Tweet with video clip]

Lyin' Biden's Biggest Debate Lies Debunked. President Joe Biden's poor performance at the first presidential debate Thursday night perfectly encapsulated how he earned himself the nickname "Pinnochio-in-chief." Filled with falsehoods and flat-out lies, Biden's responses ranged from lying about his economic record to denying that American troops had died abroad during his presidency. [For example,] Biden lied about being the only U.S. president in the past decade who had no American troops die "anywhere in the world." "Truth is: I'm the only president this century that doesn't have any — this decade — that doesn't have any troops dying anywhere in the world, like [Trump] did," Biden said. FACT-CHECK: False. On Biden's watch, 13 U.S. service members were killed during America's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Among the fallen who tragically died in a suicide bombing at Kabul's international airport: 11 Marines, a Navy hospital corpsman, and an Army special operations soldier.

The bizarre debate performance of Joe Biden. The recent debate featuring Joe Biden was nothing short of perplexing. Throughout the evening, Biden repeatedly lost his train of thought, a disconcerting display for someone in his position. However, what was truly baffling was the juxtaposition of these moments with episodes where he rattled off statistics like a genius. [...] At times, Biden's performance bordered on the surreal. He stared off into the distance, as if he were reading from a teleprompter invisible to the audience, articulating long strings of statistics and facts with impressive clarity. Yet, just moments later, he would appear like a deer in the headlights, dazed and disoriented, struggling to recall basic points. This stark contrast raises serious questions about what was really happening during the debate. One can't help but wonder if Biden was receiving some form of assistance through a hidden hearing aid or another device. The idea of intermittent signals might explain why he seemed so articulate one moment and utterly confused the next. When the supposed signal cut out, he fumbled, lost his place, and appeared clueless. This erratic switching between moments of brilliance and confusion was mind-boggling and concerning for a leader.

Was it just Biden who imploded or did the whole Democrat party implode, too? I'll start with a few comments about the debate. It's now known around the world that Biden was barely sentient. From the thin whispery voice to the pressed speech to the dilated, staring eyes to the slack-jawed expression to the stumbling and stuttering to the endless flow of lies, it was the worst thing ever seen on an American — or any — debate stage. Having Jill gently guide him down the stairs after the debate ended just emphasized that Joe Biden is gone: [Tweet with video clip] There is "no there there." This Trump ad says it all: [Tweet with video clip] Having watched Joe's implosion, many people nicer than I am are expressing compassion for him because he's clearly a sick, old man. As I said, I'm not that nice. I feel that this public humiliation — equivalent to a schoolyard bully having his pants pulled down — is a fitting end to the career of a singularly nasty, corrupt bully who has managed to drag America into the gutter over the last three-and-a-half years.

Debate Disaster: Dems And Media Defrauded America on Biden. Make Them Pay.. It's now clear: Democrats have lied for four years about the President's cognitive status. From the moment that Joe Biden shuffled onto the stage in last night's debate to the time he had to be helped off of it by his wife, the president confirmed every suspicion about his age and cognitive decline. [...] This was not just a debate loss for Biden. It was an utter humiliation, arguably elder abuse perpetrated on those around him who spent a full week at Camp David attempting to make Biden look competent. Either it did not do any good at all, or — worse yet — it might indicate that Biden is in fact much, much worse when not given over a week of R&R to handle the job. For most of the last four years, Democrats and the media have insisted that Americans disbelieve what their own eyes and experience made plain as day. Elected Democrat officials such as governors and members of the House and Senate kept vouching for Biden's youth and vitality. The White House press office kept claiming that no one over the age of 40 could keep up with him. Protection Racket Media talking heads regurgitated these claims and cast those questioning Biden's capacity as either conspiracy theorists or heartless partisans. Remember how the media called doddering Biden clips "cheap fakes" to discredit critics? Now there's no hiding the fact that Biden is incompetent now, not just for the next four years.

Four More Years. I'm angry at everyone in the White House who knew what shape Biden was actually in, probably for many months now and just flat out lied about it. It's so clear now that they lied to all of us. There's no way that the performance we saw last night on stage just snuck up on anyone. His team spent a week prepping him for last night. They must have seen indications every single day that he was not up to it, but they just kept lying and hoping by some miracle he could pull it off for 90 minutes the way he did during the State of the Union. But obviously that bet didn't work out. Instead of an old guy shouting out a rehearsed speech, we got an old guy who was barely able to form coherent sentences.

If Joe Shouldn't Be the Candidate, He Should Leave Office Now. The reality that Joe Biden isn't just past his sell-by date but an actual danger to the world as president is settling in. Democrats are in active discussions about how to replace him and whether he will accede to their wishes, but that brings up the obvious question: if Joe performed so badly that he must be replaced as a candidate, doesn't that mean he is actively a danger to the well-being of America and the world? Obviously, the answer is "Yes." Joe fell apart last night, and he was only facing his American opponent for president armed with nothing but insults. [...] Unfortunately for both the country and the Democrats, that means that Kamala Harris would become the 47th President of the United States. We are in a sad state indeed when that cackling fool is a better option than the current president, but there we are. The Democrats obviously have this possibility in mind when considering what to do.

The Editor says...
That's the risk you Democrats took when you put Kamala Harris in the position of vice-president just because she was a black female. The Democrats have made their bed; let them lie in it. Let Harris become president tomorrow at noon. Let everyone in the country see that she's just as incompetent as Biden without being senile! She's even less of a threat to China, Russia, and Mexico than Biden, and almost certainly has a much smaller team of advisors and cheerleaders. A big dose of Harris would be an effective inoculation against any more incompetent affirmative-action nominees for the next few decades.

A Dangerous Time for America. Everybody is rightly focused on the political train wreck that is the Biden campaign. Like any trainwreck or other disaster, we are equally horrified and fascinated. It's impossible to turn away. [...] A senile old man has been "running" the country, representing us to the rest of the world, making decisions on foreign policy, conducting war, failing to get peace, and all these people have been lying to us. They are not just lying; they have been using the powers at their disposal to destroy anybody who stands up and tells the truth. They accuse us to cover their own tracks. [Tweet] We obviously need to pound this fact into the heads of every American who routinely takes the word of these liars. We need to destroy every last vestige of credibility the mainstream media retains. They have been perpetrating a hoax for years. But even THAT isn't the biggest issue. Put yourself in Xi Jinping's head. Or the Ayatollahs'. Or any adversary of the United States. What did you see?

Panicked Dems Scramble For Biden Replacement After 'Disaster' Debate Performance. It took all of thirty minutes for Democrats to begin pontificating about replacing President Joe Biden on the ballot in November during Thursday night's presidential debate. Months before they were expected to, Biden and former President Donald Trump met under unique circumstances. CNN's Dana Bash and Jake Tapper moderated the faceoff in a studio, with no live audience, commercial breaks and mic cuts. Though Biden stayed out of the public eye for a week in order to prep, the 81-year-old's age was on full display as he failed to provoke a rather controlled former Trump. "Every Democrat I know is texting that this is bad," Obama campaign alumnus Ravi Gupta tweeted just 15 minutes into the debate. "Just say it publicly and begin the hard work of creating space in the convention for a selection process. I'll vote for a corpse over Trump, but this is a suicide mission," Gupta continued. [Tweet]

Joe Biden's biggest lies from last night. Since the media won't do a fact check on Joe Biden, I will do it for them. Here is a small sample: The border patrol endorsed him — in fact, the exact opposite was true, with the Border Patrol Union fact-checking him in the moment, making sure that lie was killed, and quickly: [Tweet] Border crossings now are lower than under Trump. Terrorists aren't coming in — except the terrorists who were caught plotting an ISIS-style attack earlier this month, the terrorists doing a dry-run at the U.S. Marine base, and all the other instances that are too numerous to list. He beat Medicare — huh? Like Trump said, Biden "beat it to death." [Tweet with video clip] No military members have died under his watch. Does Afghanistan ring a bell? The Tower 22 drone attack? Navy SEALs going after emboldened and financed Houthis? Billionaires pay an 8% tax rate; that is purely a made up number based on unrealized gains. Trump's tax cuts cost trillions — data revenue from the federal government itself shows that is a lie. Trump handed off a disastrous economy — it was roaring by the time Biden took office, and again, the numbers reflect this. Trump caused the inflation. Check the data, or ask any average household when life was more affordable. Biden held Iran to account. On abortion, Biden said Democrats don't support late-term. That is a blatant lie, as they continually pass legislation for abortions at any stage in the states they control. [...] Somehow Yahoo didn't catch any false claims from Biden, but here are the ones they described from Trump, so numerous that it was Biden who couldn't "keep up" with his opponent's lies: [...]

The debate was orchestrated sabotage of Biden by the Democrat party. Joe Biden spent a week at Camp David with sixteen premier "advisers" — that would be doctors and strategists. They obviously put him through his paces, so much so that his voice was nearly gone. Bad planning on their part. But we can all be sure that by the end of the week, all those doctors and strategists knew that Biden was mentally gone, toast. They all knew he would perform badly against Trump and they still put him out there. The only conclusion one can come to is that they did it on purpose. They want to replace him and they knew his debate performance would cinch the deal. Everyone would see how seriously Biden's cognitive abilities have deteriorated. They set him up to fail, and fail he did. Now, the question is, can they get him to step down voluntarily? Not likely; pseudo-doctor Jill will resist to the bitter end. What will the party do about Kamala Harris, the least qualified person to ever hold the office of vice president?

Troubling Post-Debate Moment With Joe and Jill Biden and Another Handler Has People Talking. Well, the first presidential debate of the 2024 campaign season is officially over, and pretty much all anyone can talk about in the aftermath of it is how President Joe Biden looked and sounded, which — incredibly — was even worse than he normally looks and sounds on any given day. [...] Because there was no studio audience, we didn't get any shots while the debate was going on of any family members, friends, or others who were there in support of the candidates. But as soon the debate was over and as soon as she got the opportunity, the First Lady — who is often seen pushing the purported leader of the free world and directing him on where he needs to go, rushed onto the stage. Video clips show her briefly hugging him and then immediately trying to guide a frozen-looking Joe Biden away from the podium and toward two steps. She grabs either his hand or arm, and they move forward, with Biden shuffling slowly, eventually gingerly stepping down. [Tweet with video clip]

Biden doubles down on 'fine people' narrative during debate despite Snopes fact-check. President Joe Biden on Thursday claimed that former President Donald Trump had referred to Nazis and radical demonstrators at the 2017 Charlottesville rally as "fine people," repeating a longstanding narrative just days after left-leaning fact-checker Snopes debunked the claim. "I said I wasn't going to run again until I saw what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia. People coming out of the woods carrying swastikas on torture and and singing the same antisemitic bile they sang when back in Germany," Biden said. "They asked [Trump], they said, 'What? What do you think of those people'... He said, 'I think there's fine people on both sides.'" Trump explicitly stated in his remarks that neo-Nazis and white nationalists should be "condemned totally." "Jake, both of you know that story has been totally when you see the sentence, it said 100% exoneration on that," Trump said. "So he just keeps it going... He didn't run because of Charlottesville. He ran because it was his last chance."

Attack On Hunter Biden Laptop Story Was a CIA Operation. Congress just released a report confirming that the effort to discredit the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop was a CIA operation. The report reveals the Biden official who triggered the operation and active CIA contractors involved in the operation. [Video clip]

Adderall, Botox and a B12 shot in the butt: Why Trump's claim that Biden will be 'pumped up' on drugs for debate isn't so far-fetched. Former President Donald Trump has claimed that President Biden will be "pumped up" on drugs to enhance his performance at Thursday's debate, including getting a "big fat shot in the [bottom]." His assertions have been dismissed by some segments of the media as campaign bluster — but private doctors to the rich and famous tell The [New York] Post that VIPs often use drug cocktails and other treatments to give themselves an edge before they take the spotlight for a big event. These can include everything from a peptides infusion for a boost in brain function and Botox to avoid a sweaty brow to Adderall for enhanced focus — and yes, sometimes even a shot in the [large muscle below the waist].

Why Does Joe Need 16 Debate Coaches? The first Presidential debate is scheduled for this Thursday, and the two candidates could not be more different, even in their debate prep. Trump is old school. He is Red Auerbach. He is campaigning daily and holding rallies at night. Trump is aware of the events of the world and has his answers down pat for any question. Biden is the new school, baby. He is in seclusion at Camp David, working hard with his 16 debate coaches to grasp current events. He is also practicing how to mask the least successful presidency in history. The Dems are getting more anxious as we get closer to show time. The legacy media is bracing for a Biden loss, and Obama and Hilary are making noise about a replacement for Biden should he bomb on Thursday night. Biden has to stay away from policy discussion and stick to insulting Trump. Trump has to stay away from personal attacks and stick to policies.

What to Expect from the Presidential 'Debate'. Dementia Joe might look like a wandering nursing home patient most of the time, but his [...] staff always make sure he's ready for primetime television. He disappears for a week, and when he reappears for the State of the Union or to deliver some divisive speech about MAGA Nazis, it's as if he's a brand new man. Some might point out that Biden's constantly shifting hairline, earlobes, and facial features suggest that the White House has some kind of Joe Clone reserved for those special occasions requiring intelligible speech. Others would argue that his increased agitation and delusional paranoia suggest that he's hopped-up full of amphetamines and cocaine. One thing's for sure: when Jill Biden brings out her doctored husband... I mean, when Doctor Jill Biden delivers her husband to the debate, the high-energy man before us will not resemble the confused Alzheimer's patient who usually pretends to be president of the United States.

The straight line between TV's low performance standards and Joe Biden. [Scroll down] Part of Trump's charm is that he'll talk for 90 minutes without teleprompters, mouthpieces, and electronic corrections. He is utterly real and very good at being real. Trump is the political equivalent of an exquisitely polished vaudeville act, while Biden is a barely sentient fossil, even as we're still expected to applaud like trained monkeys to acknowledge the fact that he's still capable of a shadow of his former act.

Schweizer: Biden Protecting Those People Who Sent Him Money, Rather than Protecting the American People. On Sunday's [6/23/2024] broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "Life, Liberty & Levin," Government Accountability Institute president Peter Schweizer [...] argued President Joe Biden's decisionmaking has been impacted by corrupt influences abroad. According to Schweizer, the financial interests of the elder Biden and his family members have influenced him to protect those who give him money. [Advertisement] "So Peter, I want you to discuss this with us and the American people. I'm going to ask you bluntly: Is Joe Biden a crook?" host Mark Levin asked. [Advertisement] "Yes, I think there's no question about it, Mark. Look, here's what we know — these are all facts," Schweizer replied. "They're not in dispute. The Biden family has received tens of millions of dollars from foreign actors that they have lived off of for the last several years. That money started flowing when? When Joe Biden became vice president of the United States. This money, the vast majority of it came from individuals in China, Ukraine, and Russia. The vast majority of whom have ties to foreign intelligence services and foreign criminal networks." [Advertisement]

Biden's Goldilocks/Ponce de Leon cocktail. President Biden has retired to Camp David this week to prepare for Thursday's debate with Donald Trump. [...] You can bet the ranch that his doctors are frantically attempting to find the magic bullet — the precise dosages of medications that will jack him up to normal or near-normal degrees of consciousness without appearing overly wired, provide him with a competitive edginess without appearing overly combative or angry, and give him the ability to move his limbs and lips without appearing frenetic. [...] If the doctors are successful, if Biden remains upright and adequately animated, speaks in entire words and sentences, and doesn't challenge Trump to a fistfight out back, they will have pulled off a modern-day medical miracle. It's entirely possible that Biden, with the considerable help of the sycophantic moderators, will appear normal, even presidential, and hold his own in the debate with an obviously superior debater in Trump. [...] No drug test will be given to inform the public how this occurred.

Why Did Joe Biden Remortgage His Properties 35 Times? Joe and Jill Biden have tapped two Delaware properties for $4.2 million in cash since 1975. According to a report, the Bidens refinanced the mortgages on the two homes at least 35 times over the past four decades, negotiating a new mortgage or line of credit about every 17 months. The number of refinancing deals sheds further light on the Biden family's business practices and cash flows — and raises questions regarding whether the powerful Delaware Democrats benefited from banks bending their lending rules. Typically, mortgage lenders have a "seasoning" requirement, which limits a borrower's ability to refinance their mortgage every six months. The Biden family, however, appears to have been able to waive this waiting period on at least a handful of occasions over the years. Additionally, lenders typically only allow borrowers to renegotiate only 80 to 90 percent of their home value as part of a cash-out-refinance. This should mean the amount of money the Bidens could pull from their properties after each subsequent refinancing was drastically limited unless they accessed other income to reduce the loan's principle.

Hunter Biden's DC Law License Suspended After Jury Finds Him Guilty on Felony Gun Charges. Hunter Biden's law license in DC was suspended after a jury convicted him on felony gun charges. Jurors earlier this month returned a verdict in Hunter Biden's criminal gun trial after three hours of deliberations. Guilty of all three felonies! Hunter Biden is facing 25 years in prison.

The Editor says...
Why does Hunter Biden need a law license? What legal business is he in? Which one of his clients cares about following the law?

Biden's Handlers Seem Oddly Confident He'll Be 'Energized' at the Debate, but They're Playing With Fire. With Thursday's presidential debate looming, the Biden campaign has settled on a strategy: Attempt to exceed expectations. Oddly enough, that doesn't have anything to do with policy. Instead, the president's handlers are setting the stage for an "energized" Biden who can put down all the talk about his ongoing struggle with senility. More oddly, they seem rather confident he can pull it off. [Advertisement] They're playing with fire, though. [Tweet with video clip] I do not doubt that there's a plan in place to load Biden up with more amphetamines than a Los Angeles drug dealer. We allegedly saw what that looked like during the most recent State of the Union. Admittedly, I'm not able to drug test Biden to be sure, but you could tell he was on something. He started his speech at the speed of light, barking lines like a cracked-out chihuahua. Certainly, he was "energized," but there are downsides to that approach.

Biden: Bruised, Battered and Abused. Enumerating the countless times Biden fails to be able to put a sentence together, slurs his words, or spews angry mish-mash while shouting unintelligibly behind a microphone is pointless. As the world uncomfortably watches this spectacle, his handlers ignore the polity of our nation of laws. We have long had in place clear laws against allowing undo control over a person in a compromised state; that includes pushing an individual with clearly diminished faculties onto a stage and propping him behind a podium only to embarrass himself by struggling, stumbling, and stuttering. It is called elder abuse.

A Door Closes, A Window Opens. Now that the gunplay and colorful flash-mobbery of Juneteenth has concluded, it's on to next week's big debate between the two major party candidates — if debate is even the right description for what is more like a joint press conference conducted by one candidate's PR firm. What does the reality-starved public think it will see? Probably anything but a fair fight. It's hard to imagine what possessed "Joe Biden" to decide this was a good idea for him (unless he wasn't the decider). Since we're in an era of archetypal psychodrama, the event looks more like a ritual sacrifice. His recent public performances have been, shall we say, less than reassuring in both utterance and physical poise. He comes off as Captain Queeg meets Mr. Magoo. So, you have to wonder if some ancient tropism-of-the-mind steers him to certain destruction, egged on by those of his own faction who will benefit from his exit.

The media is trying to suppress proof of Biden's dementia. Everyone — everyone — sees that Joe's age decline is rapidly speeding up. Not a single day goes by when he doesn't slur his speech in prepared remarks, wander away in Normandy requiring the Italian Prime Minister to redirect back to the group of G7 world leaders, freeze up like a statue of Mitch McConnell while everyone around him is dancing, or require the aid of former President Obama to guide him off the stage as he seems enthralled, or bewildered, by all the pretty lights and clapping but it's time to get back to the nursing home. It's tragic. It's embarrassing. And it's terrifying he is the "leader" of the most powerful nation on earth. However, every bit as despicable is that the media is beginning nuclear-level gaslighting to say that what we are all seeing, we are not really seeing. Just like the Planned Parenthood videos where every hour was loaded online for people to see, and the viral clips were several minutes long, the abortion industry leader stated that they were "deceptively edited" and out of context. A contemptible lie, but of course one the media immediately parroted like the dutiful stooges they are.

Debate Questions That The Moderators Should (But Won't) Ask Biden. First, Mr. President, during the 2020 debate, President Trump pointed to the information found on your son's laptop and claimed it incriminated both you and Hunter. He called you corrupt. You answered that President Trump's assertions were "a bunch of garbage" and referenced an open letter from some 51 retired intelligence officers who said that the laptop should not be taken seriously and had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." Subsequently, the Wall Street Journal and others have reported that not only was the laptop genuine, but that your own campaign adviser at the time, now Secretary Blinken, orchestrated creating and publicizing that false letter. Now that we know Mr. Trump's claims were not a bunch of garbage, how would you amend your response from 2020, and will you commit to providing all banking, email, and phone records requested by the House Oversight Committee?

A Terrifying Combo: Biden and the Nuclear Football. Not Biden's age, as such, but his cognitive decline renders him disabled. His aiders and abettors discharge most of the duties of the office, with he serving as a useful idiot. He's just a clueless figurehead. But there is one thing the malevolent minions cannot usurp from his duties: he has the sole authority to launch nuclear weapons. Outside of the White House, that authority can be initiated by the Presidential Emergency Satchel, colloquially called the Nuclear Football. Is there anything — anything — more terrifying than a bumbling Biden in control of such a thing? The possessed Dem demon with dementia is always within reach of the Football. Under military supervision, it follows him everywhere. It is one thing to be comfortably secluded with top advisors in the White House Situation Room, or the National Military Command Center, or equivalent, but entirely another to grapple with the Football while flummoxed on the road. And that seems to be Biden's constant mental state. Speedy decisions, at least rational ones, are well beyond his capacity.

New Evidence of Biden Quid-Pro-Quo in Ukraine. A new batch of emails released by journalist John Solomon provides the most compelling evidence to date that Joe Biden abused his position as Vice President to protect a Ukrainian oligarch who was under investigation for corruption and bribery. The oligarch, Nikolay Zlochevsky, is the owner of Burisma, the firm that paid Hunter Biden $1 million a year for a no-show job. The emails, whose origin remains unclear but which may have been obtained via the House Oversight committee, also show Zlochevsky planned to use Hunter to set up a $120 million venture in Liechtenstein. However, while the Liechtenstein story has been the focus of attention, the real story buried in the new email batch has nothing to do with Liechtenstein. That story centers around an email from Hunter's business partner, Devon Archer, that shows that Burisma unambiguously demanded that the corruption investigations into Zlochevsky be shut down. While a previous email with a similar message had been recovered from Hunter's abandoned laptop, the language used in the new email is even more blunt in conveying that Burisma was demanding direct intervention from US authorities to end the Ukrainian prosecutor general's investigation into Burisma. Within a few weeks of the email, Joe Biden ordered the president of Ukraine to dismiss his prosecutor general.

When China Wired Money to Joe's House. When Hunter Biden got wire transfers from China, they went to Joe Biden's address. In the summer of 2019, while Joe Biden was running for president, the money was rolling into Delaware from Communist China. This was the same Wilmington house where classified documents were lying around while Hunter Biden was living while allegedly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on prostitutes: some of them apparently foreign nationals. On paperwork, Hunter appeared to claim ownership of the house and in 2010, he had begun paying for the upkeep of the house and his veep dad's bills. By the time Jonathan Li, the CEO of BHR, was sending a $250,000 wire payment to Joe Biden's address, the former vice president and future president had already met with the Chinese investment exec doing business with his family and had written recommendation letters for his kids. The $250,000 Chinese wire was described as a "loan". But how was Hunter, by then approaching rock bottom, going to pay it off? Where was the money coming from?

The White House lashes out frantically at those saying something is wrong with Biden. Biden ain't the man he used to be. His opponents point out that he is a frozen, slurring, falling mess. His supporters insist that behind the apparent decrepitude lies a man of infinite wisdom and deep humanity. This fight has been going on for a while, but it's heated up with a new batch of videos showing Biden wandering away from G7 photo ops and standing frozen at events. Here are the most recent controversial videos, which have not been cut, speeded up, or slowed down, although the third zooms in on what's happening on stage. In the first video, as the cluster of G7 leaders applauds someone who just parachuted in, Biden gets distracted and wanders off to give a thumbs-up to someone off-camera. (It's not to the paratrooper kneeling at his feet because Biden's thumbs up is clearly intended for someone at a greater distance.) [Tweet with video clip] In the second video, Biden is at a Juneteenth event and, while everyone around him dances, he stands stock still: [Tweet with video clip] And lastly, here's footage of Biden at a fundraiser, again seemingly frozen: [Tweet with video clip]

FBI knew in 2016 Hunter's team plotted $120 million Ukrainian deal while Joe was VP. The FBI learned as far back as 2016 that Hunter Biden and his partners had plotted to set up a new venture in tax-friendly Liechtenstein that would be capitalized by a whopping $120 million investment from the controversial owner of the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings, according to documents obtained by Just the News that have been kept from the American public for eight years. The mega-deal was not referenced inside Hunter Biden's now infamous laptop or during the 2019 impeachment proceedings involving Ukraine, but was instead chronicled in a trove of 3.39 million documents the FBI seized from Hunter Biden and his business partners during an investigation of securities fraud nearly a decade ago. The cache of documents was recently turned over by former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer to the House Oversight Committee as part of its impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden's conduct.

Secret Service Destroys Video of Biden's Dog Commander Biting Incident. In a controversial move, the Secret Service has reportedly destroyed surveillance footage of an incident involving President Joe Biden's dog, Commander, biting a Secret Service agent. This revelation has sparked outrage and raised serious questions about transparency and accountability within the Biden administration. [Advertisement] Commander, a two-year-old German Shepherd, was involved in at least 24 biting incidents involving Secret Service personnel, according to newly released documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. These incidents reportedly occurred over a period from October 2022 to July 2023, primarily at the White House and other Biden family properties. [Advertisement] [Tweet] The destruction of the video footage has led to allegations of a cover-up. Critics argue that this action obstructs a full and transparent investigation into the behavior of the President's pet and the handling of the situation by the Secret Service.

The Editor says...
The writer sheepishly states, "The destruction of the video footage has led to allegations of a cover-up." No, the destruction of the video footage IS a cover-up. Say what you mean. If the footage was destroyed, something is being covered up, because it is an embarrassment to the Biden puppeteers, whoever they are. Speaking of Secret Service cover-ups, who did they decide was the owner of the bag of cocaine at the White House in July, 2023? Because the answer can't possibly be the only obvious one. Blame that on the dog, too.

Three signs that Biden's campaign is broken at its core, incoherent, and fraudulent. Biden's campaign seems to be giving up on promoting Biden and is, instead, focused on attacking Trump and his voters. This is because, no matter how much money Biden manages to raise and no matter the media's efforts on his part, nothing can hide the fact that his campaign is broken, incoherent, and fundamentally fraudulent. First, the Biden campaign is broken because he has no accomplishments. His nearly four years in office have been one disaster after another, and the comparisons with Trump's economy, border control / illegal aliens, and foreign policy vastly favor Trump. That reality was driven home today with the AP story that Biden is about to spend $50 million dollars on pre-debate ad buys. The ads will bypass Biden's record to focus on the three constitutionally obscene cases brought against Trump in NY: [...]

Biden Launches $50M Anti-Trump Ad Blitz to Highlight Trump's Conviction. Joe Biden's campaign launched a $50 million television ad blitz on June 17, 2024, to hit Donald Trump over his 34-count felony business fraud conviction, which many of Trump's supporters describe as witchhunts. The 81-year-old's ad campaign was created to highlight Trump's conviction by a Manhattan jury on May 30, 2024, attacking Trump by calling him "a convicted criminal who's only out for himself," the New York Post reported. "In the courtroom, we see Donald Trump for who he is. Meanwhile, Joe Biden's been working, lowering healthcare costs and making big corporations pay their fair share. This election is between a convicted criminal who's only out for himself and a president who is fighting for your family," the narrator says in the 30-second ad titled "Character Matters."

The Editor says...
Yes, character matters. Leaving a packet of cocaine in the White House matters. Ten percent for the Big Guy matters. Laundering money through Ukraine matters. Lying about an abandoned laptop matters. Stealing the 2020 presidential election matters. Putting a brain-dead puppet in the White House who will sign any bill they put on his desk really matters. Not knowing who the puppet masters are matters a lot, because nobody voted for them.

Biden's Chief Gaslighter Says Those Videos Of Joe Freezing And Wandering Aimlessly Are Fakes. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says videos of Biden freezing and appearing confused are "cheap fakes video." Don't believe your own eyes, folks. Pierre said right-wingers who are sharing these videos have a "credibility problem." "I think you all have called this the cheap fakes video, and that's exactly what they are. They are cheap fakes video." "They're done in bad faiths. And some of your news organizations have, have been very clear, have stressed that these right wing, the right-wing critics of the president have a credibility problem because of the fact-checkers have repeatedly caught them pushing misinformation, disinformation." [Video clip]

Biden's Continued Presidential Campaign is Inhumane. It can sometimes be lost when we speak of the Biden "glitches" that these are all-too-obviously signs of advancing dementia, and his family and the media continuing to insist that it be on display for the whole world to see is not just detrimental to the United States, but it's utterly inhumane. The latest is his wandering off at the G7 summit in Italy. As several world leaders stood below, a parachuter with a large "G7 Italia 2024" flag descended to their location. While the others were cheering, Biden gawked at the fluttering parachute and seemed to reach upward as if he meant to wrangle it. He then looked leftward, disinterested in what the others were applauding, and began to wander several feet away from the group. Giorgia Meloni, Italy's new Prime Minister, had to move toward him, grab his right arm, and call him over for a photo. As the others struck confident poses, Biden very slowly put on his trademark aviators and stood there looking exactly like what he is — a senile old puppet who must be led around by handlers and who is marvelously out-of-place among those powerful world officials.

The Lights Aren't Even On. We've all heard the saying, "The lights are on, but nobody's home." I suspect most of us could readily come up with a list of people to whom that applies, including in politics — maybe especially in politics. [Advertisement] Watching our commander in chief on the world stage over the past week has made it abundantly clear that the same cannot be said of him. In Joe Biden's case, it seems that the lights aren't even on anymore. [Tweet] I don't say that to be cruel — although it can be easy to wander into bash-the-president territory. That's pretty much been an American pastime all along — by design. I say it because it's both self-evident and seriously disconcerting.

Representative Anna Paulina Luna States DC Dems Discuss Replacing Joe Biden Before General Election. We consistently hear people say something akin to "they can't replace Joe Biden." It's a little odd, because I'm really not sure where that level of understanding DC comes from. Replacing Joe Biden on the ballot before or after the November 2024 election is as simple as one typed sentence from his doctor saying he is not capable of fulfilling another term. Not complicated. Very simple. Can happen at any time. The DNC corporation appoints a replacement, the leftists rally sympathy around him, and Biden is escorted away for a life of indulgences and free stuff.

Joe Biden Appears to Freeze, Obama Escorts Him Off Stage During Star-Studded Fundraiser. President Joe Biden appeared to freeze while on stage during a star-studded fundraiser on Saturday night and was seen being led off the stage by former President Barack Obama. Biden and Obama attended the Los Angeles fundraiser, along with celebrities such as George Clooney, Julia Roberts, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, Jack Black, and Jason Bateman, among many others. Before the fundraiser, it was reported that the Biden campaign had raised more than $28 million.

Hunter Biden is his father's son. For the entirety of his pre-Presidential career, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was never one of Washington's A-listers. He was always an afterthought, sometimes a joke. His biggest political achievement was lucking into the Senate at 29 from a toll-booth state and staying until retirement age. He won a grand total of six elections along the way, building a national political career with fewer than one million votes in all six races combined. Truly skilled professional politicians — Obama, Clinton, Dubya — usually reach the White House by their late forties or early fifties. (Reagan and Trump were much older, but for them politics was a second career.) When Biden tried for the brass ring in the 1988 Presidential race, at 45, his lies and exaggerations made him a laughingstock. He was forced to drop out before the Iowa caucuses.

Did Joe Biden's ghostwriter commit the crime that's been wrongfully used against J6ers? It is a serious crime to interfere with a federal investigation, and it seems that Mike Zwonitzer, Joe Biden's ghostwriter, has admitted on the record that he did so. However, to no one's surprise, AG Merrick Garland's "Justice" Department seems uninterested in this possible crime. The big irony is that Zwonitzer's apparent wrongdoing seems to have violated 18 U.S.C. § 1512, which is the same statute that the Garland DOJ has been abusing to put January 6 defendants in prison.

This Is Why Democrats Are Panicking About Joe Biden. A new Suffolk poll of black voters in two crucial swing states has come out and to say the news is devastating for Joe Biden is an understatement. We've talked about how Joe Biden has been losing significant support from black voters since 2020, and this new poll continues to show the same trend. [Advertisement] In Pennsylvania, Biden gets 56% of the black vote, with Donald Trump getting 11%. Third party candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, and Jill Stein collectively get 16%. In Michigan, another must-win state for Joe Biden, he captures only 55% of the black vote, compared to Donald Trump's 15% with another 15% going to the third party candidates. [Tweet]

Do the Plotters of the '51 Intel Experts' Coup Deserve Prison? [Scroll down] They had known since December 2019 that this [Hunter Biden laptop] story might drop. That was when Mac Isaac alerted the FBI to a laptop Hunter Biden had abandoned at his computer repair shop in Delaware. Fearing that the story might break at any time, operatives within the FBI reached out to Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms well before the 2020 election and warned them of a potential Russian pre-election "hack and dump" operation. If done with ill intent, these operatives deserve prison time as well. On the day the Post story broke, representatives from the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force met with Facebook execs. As would later be confirmed at a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing, the FBI knew that the laptop was, in fact, Hunter Biden's.

Sick Of and Done With. They're kidding, right? That "Joe Biden" is capable of being president? Not just for another four-year term, but right here and now? [...] Lately, even the news media has begun to report "Joe Biden's" senile mishaps. On Thursday at an outdoor photo op during the G7 meet-up in Italy, the ol' dawg just wandered off from the assembled pack of world leaders until Italy's PM Giorgia Meloni went and reeled him back in. Earlier in the week at a Juneteenth party, they rolled him out on the White House lawn like a cigar-store Indian where he stood utterly frozen while all around him boogalooed and clapped to the music of jubilee. Do you think that folks are starting to notice? Even many [...] Democrat Party regulars who have been just fine with the controlled demolition of our country under this human door-stop of a president are murmuring ominously that the scam has become too obvious.

Summer Surprise: The Looming Biden Replacement. In February, I predicted that it can't be Joe Biden representing the Democratic Party in November, and that he would be replaced sometime in the summer before the Democratic National Convention. [...] But here we are, several months later, still pretending that Biden will be on the ticket in November. And the old man isn't getting any better, folks. The glitches are getting worse, whether he's wandering away from world leaders at the G-7 or rambling more incoherently than ever. Such recent displays led Steve Forbes to recently suggest that "the continued, painfully obvious mental decline of our commander-in-chief has revived widespread public speculation of his withdrawing." And though they stopped for a while, even Democrats are noticing and making similar comments again.

No one is above the law? Biden would be sued over dog attacks if he were anyone else, says Turley. Legal scholar Jonathan Turley made the case Friday that "any other family" would face a lawsuit or two or three or more if their dogs were as aggressive and dangerous as that of the Bidens. "The latest account shows that President Biden was personally handling his dogs during incidents of biting secret service," he posted on X Friday. "If this were any other family, there would be a strict liability tort action against the Bidens." [Tweet]

8 ways the Biden administration is working to increase gasoline prices. The Biden administration claims that draining the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve shows its commitment to low gas prices. In fact, this is yet another cynical ploy to disguise that its real goal is raise gas prices. [Tweet] Biden's claim that he released 1 billion barrels of gasoline to "lower prices at the pump" is his latest attempt to convince Americans he's trying to lower gasoline prices. But in fact, he's doing his utmost to raise prices, because this is necessary for his anti-fossil-fuel goals. From Day 1, President Biden has openly supported the destruction of the fossil fuel industry, from his 2019 campaign promise of "I guarantee you, we're going to end fossil fuel" to his 2021 executive order declaring that America will be "net zero emissions economy-wide" by 2050. Biden's "net zero" plans require gasoline to be illegal or unaffordably expensive.

Dems inflicting elder abuse. Joe Biden is a deteriorating elder who seems more dead than alive at this point. He certainly has earned the moniker Grim Reaper-in-Chief. While the abuse he hurls upon his aides may be deserved, our country doesn't deserve his shrieking tirades and gratuitous putdowns. [...] Many elders remain vigorous, but Joe Biden is empirically not one of them. But while he is abusing us, Jill is abusing him. She'd rather be immersed in White House perks and jet-setting trips over the globe than do the honorable thing: advising the lowlife idiot to bow out of the presidential race. What a selfish, elderly-abusing person she really is. She may think she's propping-up hubby, but she's actually humiliating him by enabling him to exhibit infantile conduct in public.

Hunter Biden drops lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani over laptop. Now that the federal government itself has used Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop information as evidence in court, affirming its authenticity, there probably are only a handful of diehards who still portray it as Russian disinformation. Even Biden now has dropped a lawsuit he had filed against former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and his former lawyer, accusing them of manipulating data on the unit. That piece of electronics was a key to Joe Biden's election victory in 2020. When it was uncovered by the New York Post, which reported on the scandalous information it contained about Biden family operations, including overseas business schemes, the FBI warned publications against using it.

Joe Biden Is Definitely Senile and Dangerous. The mental acuity of the joke that currently occupies the Bully Pulpit arose in February, when special counsel Robert Hur released his report concerning Joe Biden's handling of classified documents. Hur's investigation found that Biden had, on numerous occasions, illegally mishandled classified documents. Furthermore, "during his [Biden's] interview with Hur, the special counsel wrote that the president was confused about the timeline of events and was unable to ascertain questions about his time as vice president." It continued in March, with Brit Hume saying, "I was saying back when it was not at all fashionable to say it, that he [Biden] is senile. And now I think he is palpably senile and the country sees it." [...] The New York Post editorial board wrote in June, "Between his constant verbal fumbles, endless wander-offs and bouts of confused aggression, all in public, it's beyond clear to everyone with eyes and ears that Biden's been on a steep downslope for months, if not years."

The Bidens are a dysfunctional family of grifters. Hunter Biden was found guilty of a serious crime, the least serious crime he has committed in his life of depravity and debauchery. He was his father's bagman, sent around the world to sell American influence in Joe's name for large amounts of money. The Bidens are a family of grifters. They thought they were so clever. They went to great lengths to cover their illegal tracks by setting up countless LLCs and assorted bank accounts. The family has lived far beyond the means of a senatorial or vice-presidential salary for decades. For fifty years, Joe Biden has been a thug, a plagiarist, a criminal. He is a pathological liar, as even the New York Times has noted. He was a known racist for years, too; Robert Byrd of KKK infamy was his mentor. Like most criminals, Joe is not very bright. Now, as the world watches him descend into the well-known signs of dementia, the left continues to pretend he is qualified to run for a second term when he is clearly not. Joe is over, done. He belongs in a care home. The Biden family is obviously profoundly dysfunctional, rife with adultery, drug addiction, promiscuity, alcoholism, and criminality.

WATCH: A Dazed and Confused Biden Lands in Italy, and It's Scary. Joe Biden is in Italy for the G7 summit, and a big piece of the agenda is, of course, finding new and exciting ways to send even more aid to Ukraine because why not, right? [Advertisement] Well, I think Ol' Joe will need a regular dose of whatever drug he was given for his State of the Union address because based on his arrival, it's going to be a long trip for his handlers. As has become standard operating procedure for Biden, he deplaned Air Force One on the short stairs, but what was particularly noteworthy about his arrival was how dazed and confused he appeared as he shuffled down the stairs. [Tweet with video clip] Yeah, that's awkward. Between the slow shuffle and the blank stare, it doesn't seem like he knew where he was. And it gets worse. [Tweet with video clip] It's like he's a walking corpse who needs to be directed where to go.

When Republicans whine about Trump's 'character'. Paul Ryan says he won't vote for Trump because of his character. That means he and other NeverTrumps are glad to accept Biden for another four years because their vote could defeat Trump, which is their goal. I have never heard Ryan talk about Biden's character. [...] So I would ask Ryan to explain how the following things that Biden has done, or said, show that he has good character: He took his son around the World collecting kickbacks for the Biden family. He lied to the public continuously that he never had any involvement with his son's business dealings. He intentionally lied to the public that Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation. He continually lies about his personal biography.

Joe's Distemper Is Showing. It's been said that in the end, fate gives us all the face that we've earned. That maxim seems to have been tailor-made for Joe Biden; can there be a more revealing portal to the man's core than the unpleasant countenance he now imposes on the public? As his faculties erode on the national stage, what remains of him, what is still somewhat coherent and translatable, is his essential meanness. It's a feature that's always been present, lurking just below the surface of the smiling bonhomie, characterizing his manner and method through most of his political career. Now, as the manufactured good nature recedes, in order to make his words impactful, to give them direction and effect, they need to be propelled by a considerable charge of anger. He puts across his teleprompter-fed points by raising the decibel level to uncomfortable heights. The bitter, geriatric junkyard dog visage he now sports during his public utterances calls to mind his former White House roomie — the dreaded Secret Service nemesis and eventual D.C. exile, Commander the German Shepherd.

'Hunter's Conviction Blows Up Trump's Claim of Two-Tiered Justice System' — No, It Doesn't! Allegations against the Bidens include illegal influence peddling and failing to register as a foreign agent. Last year, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said: "I want to go back to where we were in January when we started this investigation. This was the narrative: the President's son's laptop was Russian disinformation; Hunter Biden was a legitimate business guy, just like Jared Kushner; No Biden ever took money from China — that's what Joe Biden said; No money ever changed hands while Joe Biden was Vice President; Joe knew nothing about his son's dealings; And Joe never met with or spoke with any of the foreign nationals who had wired the family money." The only reasons Hunter stood trial, and now faces prosecution for tax charges, are because A) IRS whistleblowers came forward and alleged Hunter benefited from special treatment, and B) the sweetheart deal the Justice Department negotiated with Hunter's defense lawyers blew up when the presiding judge refused to go along with it.

Biden Close to Total Collapse. Like the degenerate ruling class he personifies, Biden is well past his expiration date: [Two tweets with video clips] The fraud required to keep this sick joke in power will be so massive, Democrats may have to impose martial law to prevent "extremists" from threatening Our Democracy by contesting the election results.

Hunter's Laptop Helped Secure a Conviction. Its Suppression May Have Swung an Election. Prosecutors in the gun case against Hunter Biden attested to the authenticity of a laptop he left at a repair shop in 2019, and a jury convicted Biden on Tuesday in part based on that evidence, even though at least two polls suggested that constant denials that the laptop was his from Democrats, social media, and legacy media helped President Joe Biden get elected in 2020. "This is not a point the news media wanted to acknowledge during trial coverage," Tim Graham, director of media analysis at the Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog, told The Daily Signal. "It was the shame of the liberal media since the FBI had the laptop all along." Graham was referring to the fact that the FBI was in possession of Hunter Biden's laptop and knew it was his when the story of its existence broke in 2020. Had a sizable number of Joe Biden's supporters been aware of the authenticity of the laptop that suggested the elder Biden financially benefited from foreign dealings that his son was involved in, a late 2020 Media Research Center/Polling Company survey shows that then-incumbent President Donald Trump would have won the election with 289 electoral votes.

Biden Has Trouble Immediately Upon Landing in Italy. As we reported, Joe Biden traveled to Italy Wednesday for the G7. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wouldn't confirm exactly how many family members were on the trip with him and who they were. [...] Finnegan Biden was seen on video boarding the plane. The White House has now confirmed that all of Hunter Biden's adult children are traveling with him: Naomi, Finnegan, and Maisy. Peter Neal, Naomi's husband, is also on the trip. The Daily Mail also mentioned speculation about Naomi being pregnant. So what are they doing on the trip? What do they have to do with the G7? Is this a family vacation on the taxpayer dime?

Biden's 'Floating' Scandal Exposed, As Soldiers Blow the Whistle on Joe's Scheme. President Biden has spent at least $320 million of your tax dollars to build a floating pier outside Gaza. He did this, it seems, to win back progressives who are siding with Palestinians over the Israel-Hamas war. But this pier has been a disaster from day one. It broke after just eight days, and even after it was repaired, the UN stopped bringing supplies through it. [Advertisement] The Pentagon under Biden initially said there wouldn't be any issues with having 1,000 U.S. troops near Gaza. However, recent reports are uncovering the risks involved in this mission. This is a concerning situation for our American soldiers, who are facing constant danger. Let's explore the true motivation behind why Biden is exposing them to these risks.

The Martyring Of Hunter Biden Is A Distraction. First, let's dispel the myth that Hunter Biden's conviction on gun charges proves that Joe Biden's Department of Justice dispenses justice fairly. [...] Hunter is exceptionally lucky he's only facing tax and gun charges. Though, perhaps, lucky is the wrong word. It wasn't luck, after all, that AG Merrick Garland did basically everything within his power to keep Hunter out of a courtroom. After the Trump DOJ dragged its feet, Garland made sure to try and wait out the statute of limitations on Hunter's most serious potential crimes. On many, he did. It wasn't luck that Garland named Delaware's David Weiss, whose office was filled with Biden allies, as special counsel. It wasn't luck that the Secret Service showed up to help Hunter with his gun problem. It wasn't luck that the feds cooked up an astonishing customized immunity deal for Hunter, which would not only give him a pass on any felony gun and tax charges, but also on a slew of unrelated, far more serious, potential offenses, including failure to register as a foreign agent, bribery, and corruption. Do you think anyone else gets this kind of consideration from the DOJ?

Nice try, FJB: Sacrificing Hunter won't work. Never underestimate Biden's ability to win a general election. He's beaten Republicans 10 consecutive times, beginning in 1972, when as a complete unknown he knocked off an incumbent senators in a year in which Nixon took 49 states including Delaware. FJB would sacrifice anything or anybody to win. You don't go from graduating 79th in a class of 87 at Syracuse University College of Law to the presidency by playing nice. He lies. He plagiarizes. His sniffs children like they were pies. Bye, bye, Hunter. Daddy's got to make his justice system look legitimate. Politico loyally promoted the DNC line: "Hunter Biden verdict throws 'sand in the gears' of GOP's attacks on legal system." The attack is not on the legal system. The attack is on those who abuse the system.

Hunter Biden Convicted of 3 Felony Gun Crimes, Jury Deliberated for Three Hoursu. We all knew this was going to happen, almost this exact way. December, 2022 — "Monaco will coordinate the timing of the arrest and indictment of Hunter Biden to coincide with the arrest and indictment of President Trump. This will provide the narrative of blind justice the DOJ will attempt to leverage to stop national reaction." And, that's exactly what Lisa Monaco and Main Justice did. Hunter Biden was found guilty of three felony gun charges, and will likely receive a very limited sentence (probation or similar) with no jail/prison time. The major crimes of bribery, money laundering, public corruption, Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) violations, are all being ignored. The Biden crime syndicate is being protected.

Hunter's Conviction Is A Fig Leaf To Cover The Biden Family's More Serious Crimes. Hunter Biden was found guilty Tuesday on three federal gun charges, but his conviction is no victory for the rule of law. The trial sidestepped the most serious allegations against Biden — and their implications for his president father — while teeing up talking points for Biden supporters to insist the justice system is fair after the left brazenly weaponized the justice system to target former President Donald Trump. President Joe Biden's son was found guilty of lying on application paperwork while addicted to drugs to obtain a firearm and unlawfully possessing said firearm. Leftists like MSNBC's Andrew Weissmann, desperate to absolve themselves of accountability for cheering on the weaponization of the justice system against Trump, have already begun using Hunter's conviction to declare the justice system works just fine since Hunter was also found guilty. But as Federalist CEO Sean Davis aptly noted shortly before Hunter's conviction, "any verdict in the gun trial is functionally irrelevant because the corrupt Biden [administration] has already proven that the entire justice system is rigged."

Don't Believe Your Lying Eyes! Here is another way to tell that Democrats are panicking: They feel obliged to deal, somehow, with the fact that Joe Biden is senile. The Washington Post headlines: "How Republicans used misleading videos to attack Biden in a 24-hour period." ["]President Biden, who at 81 is a couple of decades younger than many of the veterans he honored during Thursday's D-Day commemoration in Normandy...["] Well then, he is practically youthful! [...] But the Post says nothing about Biden's Juneteenth brain freeze, his multiple incidents of falling down, his frequent descents into incoherence, his need to be led around to show him where to stand, his inability to read a teleprompter, and so on. Many dozens of episodes of obvious senility have been preserved on video, and many millions of Americans have seen them.

The real reason for the Hunter trial. Vivek Ramaswamy tweeted, "The Hunter Biden trial is a smokescreen. It's designed to make the prosecution of Trump appear nonpartisan, yet the outcome of the Hunter trial doesn't matter because Joe Biden can & will pardon him. The trial's timing is no coincidence: right after the Trump conviction, but set to finish before Joe Biden leaves the White House." [...] The trial is not about Hunter's illegal purchase of a gun. The trial exists only so Democrats can say, see, no one is above the law not even the president's son — when in fact, Hunter and all the Bidens are above the law. When was Hunter court-martialed by the Navy for his cocaine abuse? His father has used his position in DC to shield Hunter — as well as Ashley and the rest — from ever being held responsible for their criminality. And so the crimes piled up. Ramaswamy does get right that this is a sham trial is designed to legitimize the latest legal farce in New York. Judge Merchan went out of his way to commit every conceivable judicial error to reverse the outcome on appeal. I mean, who tells a criminal jury that they don't have to be unanimous in convicting a defendant?

Biden Family Shady Business Deals Appear To Be Coming More In Focus. President Biden has maintained efforts to distance himself from his family's business affairs throughout his presidential campaign and tenure, yet a recent report sheds light on the extent to which individuals in the president's inner circle have been engaged in Biden family enterprises. According to a report from Politico, Biden has shared a personal bookkeeper with his son, Hunter Biden, a personal lawyer with his brother, Jim Biden, and the former head of then-Vice President Biden's Secret Service detail aided Jim Biden in probing a potential Chinese business partner. Despite assertions from the Bidens regarding the observance of strict "firewalls" concerning business discussions within the family, the Politico report delineates the significant involvement of individuals in the president's circle in matters concerning Hunter and Jim Biden's ventures.

The Bidens Are a Horrible Bunch of People. [Scroll down] Curiously, Joe (who is magically filthy rich after a lifetime in "public service") doesn't appear to have helped Hunter pay the millions in child support he owes Kathleen, but he did dish him a lot of cash for things like a $50,000 "loan" for the truck when he already owned 2 other vehicles. That $50,000 cash "loan" is alleged to have happened when Hunter was a full-blown junkie because everyone knows good parents give their strung-out kids sweaty wads of cash all the time since getting them help is for suckers. You'd think they wanted Hunter dead, but for that, you'd have to believe there was a loan. There's only the claim of a loan made after the discovery of a $50,000 check from Hunter to Joe the same day he received a half-million-dollar payment from a Chinese "investor." It's just a coincidence, I'm sure, that it works out to "10% for the Big Guy." The whole family is disgusting, beyond disgusting. But what do you expect from a kid-sniffing, credibly accused rapist who has the exclusive means to exonerate himself by releasing his Senate personnel records now sealed under his orders but won't? People with nothing to hide would not hide things long after death.

Politico reports on the Biden family syndicate, and it's crickets all around. Did you know that Politico committed an act of journalism yesterday, reporting honestly on the Biden family syndicate? This was such a rare act that you'd think its reporting would stand out, especially given that it's read by absolutely everyone in the Acela corridor. You'd think CNN would be 24/7 with Brady Bunch-style pundits pundit-ing on the story because it's an incredibly [bad] bill of horribles for the sitting president. But nooooooo... Everyone on that progressive train is undoubtedly aware of it, but they ain't talkin' 'bout it. Nope. No way. No how. It ain't good for the regime. It ain't good for the narrative. [...] Imagine if this entire article were about the Trump family and not the Biden family, and you'd have an all-out conflagration of a D.C. scandal on your hands.

Will the Democrats Survive this Year's Election? Americans and the western world in general are losing their enthusiasm for government-centered solutions to the various problems that we are facing. [...] This slide in their popularity is not going unnoticed among the movers and shakers in the Democrat fold. But most of what they can do is to just dump Biden — which is pretty much impossible to do without it being really, really ugly. Let alone it's already pretty late in the game. Had there been an active spoiler campaigning all along to unseat Biden, such as in 1980 when Ted Kennedy challenged Jimmy Carter, this scenario would have been more realistic. They have also been trying to destroy Trump by putting their Department of Justice toadies to work in tying him up with legal challenges. How's that working out?

If you vote for Joe Biden ... If you vote for the current president who is trying to destroy a former president for far lesser offenses than he himself has committed, you are a hypocrite. If you vote for the man who is currently attempting to imprison his political opponent, perhaps for life, for the sin of standing in the way of his continued power, you are an ignorant fool. If you vote for the man who has labeled nearly half of your countrymen "domestic terrorists," you are a cad of the highest order. If you vote for the man who is clearly beholden to at least one — likely more than one — of America's enemies, each with totalitarian governments, you cannot claim to be a patriot or defender of democracy. If you vote for the man who clearly — and in so many ways — favors illegal immigrants over American citizens, and those who break the law over those who abide by it, you are voting for chaos, pain, and societal destruction.

Time to Jettison the Animals. The most astounding part of America's "Joe Biden" three-plus-years thrill ride is that the Party of Chaos and Hoaxes was able to pretend until just a few days ago that this political phantasm could run for re-election. Now, regime insiders are forced to confess that they can't hide it anymore. They spilled the beans as "unnamed sources" this week in a huge Wall Street Journal article. The president is going necrotic in full view of the whole world. His mind is gone. He looks ridiculous when he shuffles in front of the cameras. He utters obvious absurdities and lies. His wife has to lead him around like a dog on a leash. Everyone can see it. He's got to go. ASAP. [...] The one coherent thought in his failing mind is that he has pardon power as long as he is president. It's not so much Hunter and that silly-[...] gun case in Wilmington, which he'll surely wriggle out of. It's more about the brothers Jim and Frank and all the spouses and offspring who received wire transfers of Chinese money, Ukraine money, Russian money, Kazak money, Romanian money....

The Biden deep fakery of Merrick Garland. Following an investigation by special counsel Robert Hur, Americans learned Joe Biden, who Hur characterized as a sympathetic, elderly man with a poor memory, is so mentally impaired he cannot be prosecuted for serial violations of classified document law spanning decades. He is, however, qualified to be President of the United States. That Biden violated even the Espionage Act by knowingly providing classified information to a ghost writer isn't sufficient cause for prosecution. Not so for Donald Trump who kept some such materials exclusively at Mar-A-Lago under continuous guard by the Secret Service. [...] Biden kept documents in multiple, unsecured places, including in an open box in his garage. A transcript of Biden's hours-long interview (available here) with Hur has been released. The DOJ has recently admitted in a court filing that the transcript has been edited, though they pinky swear that editing is absolutely minimal, removing things Joe said like "uh," "um," and "I, I, I.' Trust the DOJ.

Quotations from Chairman Joe. It's a shame that commercial publishers have lost their appetite for mocking Democratic presidents. President Biden provides a steady stream of new material every day, much of it related to the sunset of his mind in the foggy ruins of time. Biden sat for an interview with Time at the White House on May 28. The transcript makes for painful reading.

Biden to be Replaced come August. Has Biden finally caved in to close the border after he opened it up on his first day in office? This seems like admitting he made a mistake which has hurt so many people in this country. [...] Mr. Biden is using the same kind of tools that President Trump used to secure the border that the Democrats called him a racist over. On the first day of office, Biden opened the border to anyone from Asia, Africa, and South America. His policies have angered Mexico and other countries where people have been migrating to get their free handouts with Biden T-shirts. Five million illegal immigrants have poured into the country without background checks. Some countries emptied their prisons and sent them to Biden's Land.

The Broken Chain of Command. [Scroll down] The United States is in a different situation than ever before, too. Who has the nuclear football? Is it, as suggested in a few media reports, some Marine at the side of Joe Biden? Who would actually give the order to initiate a strike or counterstrike? Joe? The man who can't find his way off of a stage without getting lost? Some Marine standing by, with the suitcase open, waiting for a nod from the man letting ice cream drip down his knuckles? Is it Austin who wore the clown-inspired facemask while reviewing the troops during Covid? Doesn't that violate the civilian-rule over the military? We are talking about the end of the world, or at least, the end of the United States and the fact that we, the people, don't have any idea who is actually in charge of our massive nuclear arsenal is a serious consideration. [...] Not to worry, that's all been taken into account, the protocols for ensuring it's the right decision have been hammered out. Really? But then, who is giving that order? Is it an unelected Susan Rice? An unelected Barack Obama? The military itself does not have the authority to make that decision and the doubt that Joe can make it is what the 25th Amendment is for. Does one trust Kamala?

America's Corrupt Political Class Should Be Prosecuted, Not Trump. It's also worth noting that federal law enforcement explored charging Hunter Biden with sex-trafficking crimes for working with sex traffickers and bringing prostitutes across state lines. Yet none of these charges were brought. Instead, his father's own Department of Justice ultimately tried to arrange maybe the most extraordinary immunity deal ever to sweep any potentially serious sex crimes under the rug, as well as deliberately letting the statute of limitations on his tax crimes expire, while persecuting IRS whistleblowers who called them out for ignoring it. (Hunter's money laundering and acting as an unregistered foreign agent are also mysteriously being ignored.)

Biden Does Weird Stuff Again During D-Day Memorial in France. Even the media who notice how dementia seems to be increasing in Joe Biden pretend not to understand the full scale of the problem. As the Daily Mail describes the awkward moments, they couch their explanation amid soft sentences intended to obfuscate the reality that Biden is impaired and getting worse. He may not have lost all his marbles, but the hole in the bag is big enough for most to have dropped. After Biden had his episode and Jill tried to give him directions by covering her mouth, eventually they both just left the stage and French President Macron carried on by himself. [Video clip]

It's time for Biden to leave. Where is Dandy Don Meredith when we need him? Someone should be singing, "Turn out the lights, the party's over," because Joe Biden's presidency must end. His appearance at the D-Day commemoration at Normandy was certainly the final proof that he cannot continue no matter how hard his staff tries to hold him up. The American press gave Biden a pass, but the Brits were under no pressure from a vengeful deep state to toe any line. The Mirror reported, "Joe Biden sparks concern as onlookers fear he 'pooped his pants' after he 'can't figure out' how to sit down. "The President made a few noticeable gaffes while meeting with the French leader for a D-Day event on Thursday morning." The Express reported, "Joe Biden pulled away from D-Day event by wife Jill as viewers ask: 'What's going on?'" Taking him away to the limo because he could not make it through the ceremony was reminiscent of the time Hillary showed up so hung over that she could not make it through the commemoration of 9/11 in 2016.

The 'Laptop from Hell' fiasco is a symptom of the Right's impotence. I'm sure most people reading this remember the "Laptop from Hell," not to mention why the media completely blackballed the laptop story. However, just in case you were living under a rock in 2020, let me remind you: the "Laptop from Hell" refers to a laptop owned by First Son Hunter Biden containing evidence of (to put it mildly) gobsmacking amounts of corruption and actual foreign influence over then-Vice President Biden, which was laundered almost exclusively through dealings with his son Hunter. It was also the mother of all October surprises and should have been enough to put Joe Biden himself away, even with the headwinds of 2020. The contents of the laptop and the payments from Ukrainian, Chinese, and Russian officials far outweighed any 'unreported campaign influence' a hush money payment made. Instead, it barely made a blip. Why? Because 51 "intelligence officials" publicly claimed that the laptop was a "Russian disinformation" operation, at which point the government rushed to bully social media companies into de-platforming anyone who mentioned it. This included the one press outlet with the courage to do a story on it — the New York Post — whose story was totally overlooked as a result. The laptop became the story, not the payments. And if you want to know the really corrupt part? The guy who was responsible for shutting down the Laptop from Hell with this phony "intelligence" argument is now Joe Biden's Secretary of State, Tony Blinken.

Hunter Biden told Congress he didn't work on visas for Burisma boss, but emails suggest otherwise. Hunter Biden told Congress earlier this year during his impeachment deposition that he would never have assisted his Ukrainian business partners in resolving their travel visa issues. But evidence newly obtained by Congress directly conflicts with that testimony. In one email, in fact, Hunter Biden asserts he is working with someone to get visa issues resolved for Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of the Burisma Holding energy firm that hired the future first son on its board. "Me [sic] contact has said that he will take care of it--- BUT I have not gotten confirmation yet that he has done so with 100% certainty," Hunter Biden wrote Burisma executive Vadim Pozharskyi in a February 2015 email that was seized by the FBI during a criminal investigation a decade ago and recently obtained by Just the News.

The Hunter Biden trial has got me thinking. Both China Joe and Doctor Jill have spoken of their great and enduring love for their son, and their admiration for how he has so courageously fought addiction. (The implication seems to be that they're referring to his drug addiction, not his sex addiction, but who knows?) They speak of addiction as if it's something that strikes a person from out of nowhere, at random, like a wildcat hiding in a tree that pounces upon an unsuspecting hiker. But that's not how drug addiction works, and "victims" of such addiction are not innocent passersby who are randomly targeted; they become addicts as a result of specific actions and behaviors they have committed under their own free will. This also seems to have gone unnoticed amidst all the caterwauling of sympathy for Hunter Biden and praise for how he has been so very brave in dealing with his addiction.

Biden's Wrong. It's 'Reckless, Dangerous, And Irresponsible' Not To Challenge Unjust Verdicts. President Joe Biden is wrong on just about everything consequential. It's actually quite remarkable. Biden doesn't seem to be able to land on the correct position on any important topic even by sheer happenstance. That's my view. It's also apparently the view of a substantial majority of Americans, since Biden polls well underwater on every major issue. [...] Biden's latest consequential error came in his comments about the verdict in The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump case and Trump's (and much of the public's) reaction to that verdict. Biden fumed that it is "reckless, it's dangerous, it's irresponsible for anyone to say that this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict." In fact, the opposite is true. It is necessary, healthy, and responsible (in the quintessential sense of American responsibility) for people to speak out when they do not agree with the government's exercise of prosecutorial power.

Beware the cornered rat! Since 2016 the Democrats have increasingly been behaving like trapped cornered rats. The party is very corrupt, and is very exposed to prosecution for many illegal acts in the past decade. Biden and his son Hunter especially face many legal issues for taking bribes from China and the Ukraine in exchange for aiding those foreign governments — against the interests of the U.S. It appears their political support is waning, and that their hold on power following the November election is becoming increasingly impossible. Not only do all the trends say that Trump will win, but that the Republicans will gain solid control of both houses of Congress. Beware the cornered rat. It can become very very deadly in its desperation to survive. Right now I consider the Democratic Party under Joe Biden and its partisan supporters in the coastal states and urban centers to be extremely dangerous people, unwilling under any condition to accept defeat.

Time To Fight Dirty. [Scroll down] And when I say we need to fight dirty, let me clarify what I am not saying. I am not saying that we should persecute innocent people, like the Left does. I am saying that we need to go full-throttle, no-holds-barred lawfare against those who do break the law and smugly get away with it. [...] Hunter Biden's laptop was discovered to have incontestable evidence on it that "the big guy," while vice president, had used his government position to leverage favor for his wayward son in Burisma and other overseas adventures. The now-infamous letter signed by over fifty former intelligence officials intentionally misled its readers with the baseless assurance that the laptop story was Russian disinformation. Attorney General Merrick Garland is not pressing charges. Biden got away with it.

Why Joe Biden's Hur Interview Recording Was Hidden. You may recall that President Joe Biden previously sat down for an interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur regarding the investigation into the many classified documents that Biden improperly removed from the White House over the years. A transcript of that interview was grudgingly produced later, informing the public that charges would not be filed against Biden because he was supposedly unlikely to be convicted, being an "elderly man with a poor memory." Something didn't seem right and the House sought the original audio recording of the interview, but the White House refused to allow it to be made public, with Biden making the stunning assertion of executive privilege based on "privacy" concerns to keep it hidden. Now, thanks to some digging by Judicial Watch, we may (possibly) know why that was done. According to a release from the Justice Department on Friday night, the transcript was altered with various words removed and significant "clean-up" work having been done to it.

Desperate, Lying Biden May Abuse AI To Pull The Ultimate Race Hoax. All of the Biden whoppers are delivered by a man whose cognitive faculties may well be in severe decline, but also one who has spent his entire adult life as a sociopathic liar, who takes delight in the mental conquest of lying just as he does the physical conquest of sexual predation. It is patently clear that 99% of what comes out of Biden's mouth, and those of his surrogates is an abject, gaslighting falsehood. Many in the voting public have now woken up to this fact, which is why we've seen so many red-pilled ex-Biden backers suddenly flipping their support to Trump in protest of all — or even some — of the above. Taking a page from Adolf Hitler, Democrats already primed people for the so-called Big Lie, deflecting from the fact that they were in the process of committing it by, appropriately enough, projecting it preemptively onto Republicans[.] Regrettably, we may now be on the cusp of what history will record as the "Biggest Lie," if and when the truth ever comes to light — something so shamefully bald-faced, so transparently manipulative, that most will think, "They wouldn't dare lie about that." But indeed, Biden has proven nothing if not that he will lie about anything.

Biden declares it's 'dangerous' for anyone to say Trump trial was 'rigged'. On Friday, Joe Biden addressed the guilty verdict reached the day prior in the falsified business records case against Trump, declaring that it's "dangerous" for people to say that it was a rigged trial. [Advertisement] "It's reckless, it's dangerous, it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict," Biden said. [Video clip] [Advertisement] "The American principle that no one is above the law was reaffirmed."

The Editor says...
There is little or no room on this website for statements by Joe Biden. Everything in Biden's statement was a lie. Surely somebody else writes all of his public statements; but even so, he willingly repeats the lies and puts his name on them.

House GOP chairman accuses Hunter Biden of lying to Congress, citing new whistleblower evidence. The chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday formally accused Hunter Biden of lying to Congress, releasing fresh evidence from two IRS whistleblowers that conflicts with the testimony President Joe Biden's son gave to lawmakers a few months ago. "Hunter Biden's deposition is key to understanding the attempts to conceal how the family made millions from selling access," Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., said in a statement. "Yet, new documents provided by the whistleblowers show that Hunter Biden repeatedly lied to Congress in his February deposition to distance his involvement in what should be considered a clear scheme to enrich the Biden family." The allegation could set up a potential criminal referral from Congress to the Justice Department seeking a fresh prosecution of Hunter Biden, who already faces two trials this summer on gun and tax evasion charges.

Six Week Trial And Nobody Knows The Crime. The Hush Money Trial of Donald Trump in New York is a stain on the American Justice system that had been the envy of the world. The justice system is another entity that President Joe Biden destroyed. Who could have predicted that Joe Biden, the guy from Scranton, could have successfully put a wrecking ball to so much of America? Joe Biden has been a loser and liar his entire political life. He had to withdraw from two previous presidential bids for plagiarism and has suffered through three-plus years of lies in the White House. [...] Biden announced he would have a statement for the press at the conclusion of the trial. Biden is sadly salivating at the possibility of referring to his opponent as "Convicted Felon Donald Trump." [...] Joe Biden is shallow, devious, opportunistic, and a thief. He may also be guilty of treason, which will be the coup de grace of his legacy, and he can take Hunter down with him.

Biden received sensitive data, briefings from security advisers via his private pseudonym email. While he was vice president, Joe Biden received sensitive communications via his private email accounts created under a fictitious identity, including foreign policy discussions with his national security adviser, schedules of meetings with Cabinet secretaries and a summary of at least one intelligence briefing to President Barack Obama, according to new emails obtained by Just the News. The new memos were released by the National Archives over the Memorial Day holiday weekend under a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by the Southeastern Legal Foundation on behalf of Just the News that sought emails that Biden received or transmitted as vice president using his robinware456@gmail.com account. While none of the newly released emails had classification markings on them, several included sensitive information transmitted over an insecure Google email account that could be of value to foreign powers and hostile spy agencies. The latest batch involved communications mostly from 2012.

Convention? What Convention? Dems Kill Biden Escape Hatch. So much for all those Chicago Switcheroo scenarios! Political analysts will have to set aside months of speculation about a convention surprise, thanks to the DNC's inability to research state deadlines for ballot access — and Ohio Democrats' desire for foreign money in ballot-issue campaigns. [Advertisement] As Jazz noted earlier, the dream is over. Rather than wait for the convention to nominate Joe Biden as their presidential nominee, the DNC will hold a "virtual roll call" to nominate Biden in time for Ohio's August 7 ballot deadline: [...] Apparently, no one at the DNC bothered to look at ballot-access deadlines in all 50 states, or at least in Ohio. Given how important the Buckeye State is to both parties in presidential elections, that seems to be a significant error.

Did Joe Biden Just Commit Another Crime to Protect Hunter? The Biden family is neck-deep in corruption, and yet, time after time, it becomes increasingly clear that they feel they can get away with it. Even as Hunter Biden faces criminal gun and tax charges, and Joe Biden is the subject of an impeachment inquiry, they just can't help themselves. Perhaps they figure that since the media is on their side, they don't have to worry about honest coverage blowing their cover. And they are mostly right. The mainstream media has been insisting for months now that House Republicans have turned up no evidence of corruption by Joe Biden, which is patently false. [...] According to a White House poll report, Joe Biden made a rather curious visit to his son Beau Biden's widow, Hallie Biden, Sunday night. [...] But, why did this happen on Sunday night of all nights? Could be it be that mere days earlier it was reported that Special Counsel David Weiss is planning to called Hallie Biden as a witness in Hunter Biden's gun trial?

They lie because they get away with it. On Monday, we honored the million men who died defending our great nation and protecting our God-given rights. Sadly, the current resident in the White House decided to honor instead a drug addict and armed robber who died in police custody. His staff perpetuated the lie that George Floyd was murdered by a policeman — a lie upheld by a kangaroo court in Minnesota. That's the power of the Big Lie.

If You Stand With Joe Biden, You Are Standing With An Actual White-Supremacist. Isn't that a lovely picture of Angie Brennan and the imposter-figurehead-President Joe Biden. But does Little Miss Angie know she is standing with a White-Supremacist? For example, Biden believes that White people like him should get to decide who is a "real Black" and who is not. Remember this from 2020: [Video clip] And this was NOT a "one-off." Just recently, Biden told graduates at Morehouse College essentially that they had just wasted four years because America is pervasively and incurably racist ... the clear implication being that these graduates will amount to nothing without Great White Father Biden in the White House. A variation on 2020's "you ain't Black."

Hunter Biden's laptop was denied, disparaged, censored — now it's evidence of a crime. The evolution of Hunter Biden laptop denial over the last three and a half years has been mind-boggling. You need a chart to keep up. First the laptop was a non-story (thanks, NPR). Then it was "hacked material" (thanks, Twitter). Then it was "Russian disinformation" (thanks, CIA). Then it was a "Russian plant" (thanks, Joe Biden). Then it was "stolen" by Russians. (Hunter weighed in with crystal clarity: "I have no idea ... There could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me. It could be that I was hacked. It could be that it was Russian intelligence. It could be that it was stolen from me.") Then it was "hacked by Rudy Giuliani" (thanks, Kevin "Sugar Brother" Morris). And now it is the backbone of the prosecution case against the first son in the felony gun trial he faces in Delaware in a little over a week.

Biden Reminds West Point Graduates of their Political Duty to Interfere in Election if Leftist Vision of Democracy is Threatened. Many political followers have likely tracked the Obama-era emphasis about changing the intents, purposes and mission of the U.S. military. During the Obama administration the ideologues who traveled with the Lightbringer, looked at the Pentagon through the prism of domestic affairs; essentially, how can the Dept of Defense be shifted to support the anticolonial effort? With standards changed to accommodate women in combat, the U.S. military had been increasingly shifting toward political correctness and gender inclusion since the late 1980's. However, it was Obama Inc who pushed wokeism to be the primary effort of military leadership. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is a Marxist tool for domestic manipulation of military and social engineering. By the time we see the issues behind Defense Secretary James Mattis, Joint Chief's Chairman Mark Milley, and the attitude of Alexander Vindman et al, it was already too late.

New Documents Prove FBI Knew of Biden Ties to the CCP. Federal agents knew from 2013 that Hunter Biden used access to his father on Air Force 2 to set up business ventures with Chinese communists. We now have proof of what many believed. The FBI knew and let Joe Biden become president. Easier to blackmail? James Comer finally got the documents from Devon Archer's lawyers. During the 2016 election, Hunter Biden used that access on an official government trip to Beijing on Air Force Two to connect Chinese business partners with Vice President Joe Biden. According to almost 3.4 million pages of documents, Hunter's father met with these people. The documents were recently turned over to Congress and obtained by Just the News.

Feds secretly knew for years Joe Biden met with son's Chinese partners on official trip. Federal agents gathered evidence during the 2016 election that Hunter Biden had used access to his father on an official government trip to Beijing aboard Air Force Two to connect prospective Chinese business partners with then-Vice President Joe Biden, according to a massive cache of documents recently turned over to Congress and obtained by Just the News. "They got to meet Dad. All very good. Talk later," Hunter Biden wrote in a December 2013 email confirming how he connected his Chinese associates with his father in a Beijing hotel after the vice president had met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The younger Biden also bragged in his emails that his father was so enamored with China's communist leader that "I think they are in love with each other," the emails showed. "They all most kissed on departure," Hunter Biden wrote in one of the emails seized by federal agents.

The democrats pretend. [Scroll down] Will [Joe Biden] debate Trump in June? Highly doubtful. He agreed to debate in a pinch, or rather his handlers did, knowing that they could and most probably will come up with an excuse to cancel. Biden is so clearly not up to debating Trump, without drugs and/or an earpiece. If he can't get through a short speech that is displayed on a teleprompter, how can he respond to debate questions, even if he is given those questions ahead of time which we all know he would be. Jake Tapper is one of those pretending Biden is capable, but even he and Dana Bash will not be able to help poor Joe appear sentient. His brain is gone, over and done. His wretched wife, if she had an ounce of actual feeling for the man, would never have let him agree to run again. She so badly wants to be Edith Wilson redux. She is a craven narcissist who has sullied the office of First Lady.

Dementia Joe Circles Back to Racism. Anyone who's ever dealt with an Alzheimer's (or dementia) parent or grandparent knows the routine — they only talk about five or six topics before they return to the first. [...] If white supremacy is Joe's Topic #2, what could possibly be #1? Drum roll, please... the topic that Biden always "circles back" to is racism. Biden starts with racism, goes to topic #2 (white supremacy) and #3, then back to racism. The man is obsessed with racism and returns to it over and over again. He's been doing this for years. In 2011, Biden told a black audience that Republicans are "gonna put y'all back in chains." In 2020, he told blacks, if you don't know who to vote for "you 'ain't black." As a candidate, Biden made skin color (not competence) the primary qualification for his vice president. As president, skin color (not competence) is Joe's primary consideration for Supreme Court appointments. His focus on skin color must be belittling and condescending to all blacks, especially those who are qualified and competent.

Uncovering the Mysterious Disappearance of Hunter Biden's Handgun: The Shadowy Tale of a Mexican Grocery Store. [Advertisement] Amidst the ongoing controversies surrounding the Biden family, a new and bizarre story has emerged involving Hunter Biden's missing handgun. The weapon, a .38 revolver, was allegedly purchased at a Mexican grocery store under questionable circumstances. The incident has sparked speculations and raised questions about the legality and potential consequences of such actions. [Advertisement] The mystery began when a report surfaced claiming that Hunter Biden's gun was illegally thrown out by Hallie Biden, his brother Beau's widow. This revelation sparked outrage and fueled suspicions about the true intentions behind the purchase of the firearm. How did Hunter obtain the gun? Was it a legal purchase? And why did Hallie dispose of it in such a shady manner? [Advertisement] [Tweet] According to sources, Hunter Biden, known for his troubled past and legal troubles, bought the gun at a questionable Mexican grocery store, bypassing the necessary background checks and paperwork. This revelation has shed light on the ease of acquiring firearms in the United States and raised concerns about the potential dangers of unregulated gun sales.

If the Dems ditch Biden, what then? [Scroll down] Cutting to the chase, fear of Trump rather than love of Biden is what the Dems actually have in their toolbox. Since Trump isn't all that scary, they have to invent reasons to be afraid of him. All we can do is watch them try. That being said, it's likely to get pretty gross. Rather than typically pragmatic Republicans, Democrats are gluttons for power at any price. Their motto should be "the end justifies the means." Kind of reminiscent of Vladimir Lenin. If they had any sense of shame, Trump would not now be on trial. So don't take Biden's defeat for granted. Desperate desires can lead to desperate methods.

Jill Biden ludicrously claims Trump would 'destroy' public education if elected. First lady and fake "doctor" Jill Biden ludicrously claimed Saturday that former President Donald Trump will destroy the public education system if reelected to office. Speaking at the United Federation of Teachers' annual spring conference, she argued instead that her husband, President Joe Biden, is the one who'll bless public education. "I always believed that Joe would be the best education president," she said, according to the New York Post.

The Editor says...
Some future president should disband the Department of Education, which does nothing but spend money, with no improvements to show for it. But that's a long way from dismantling public education. Public schools existed long before the Department of Education.

Biden Didn't Report His Free Vacations at Billionaire's Homes. A Soros-funded site, ProPublica, has investigated Justice Clarence Thomas endlessly for nothing. One of those nothings was his stay with billionaire friends, which he didn't report. He didn't have to report them, but that doesn't matter to the leftists. Joe Biden is not reporting his free vacations at billionaire's homes, and ProPublica is totally uninterested. ProPublica even won a Pulitzer for reporting legal non-disclosures meant to embarrass Originalist justices [as opposed to activist justices]. Democrats do that. They give each other awards.

What has Biden accomplished in his presidency? Devastation. Biden and his sycophants in the media sing his praises on a daily basis, pretending he has been an effective president. In fact, all he has accomplished is desecration on every level. [...] Biden long ago sold out his country for money. He has long been the most corrupt member of Congress and has always used his position to enrich himself and his family. He has never worked to the benefit of his constituents or the American people. When all the truth is revealed, we will all know that Biden and his family are a criminal enterprise the rivals the Mafia for depth of corruption.

Biden Adviser [explains] Why 'No Crowd' Debate Demand Was Non-Negotiable for Biden. Though it was pretty obvious why Biden didn't want a studio audience present, an unnamed Biden adviser admitted in an interview that the "no crowd" demand was absolutely non-negotiable, because a crowd full of voters were people who Trump could feed off of, and whose reactions in the process could potentially derail Biden's debate agenda. [...] Relatedly, a one-on-one without a lively audience but which includes liberal media moderators could also make things quiet/controlled enough that Biden would better be able to hear his handlers through an earpiece. Just sayin'. In any event, as we noted before, these demands are not those of a campaign that really believes Biden "won" the 2020 debates against Trump. In reality, it's a strong signal that they — and Biden — are terrified, and want to manage every single detail as tightly as they do any other event Biden attends.

Rep. Comer Found New Biden Family Accounts Linked to China. Rep. James Comer, who is conducting the investigation into Joe Biden and his family, updated Maria Bartiromo on Fox News. He has found new Biden family bank accounts that were used to launder money from China. [...] "I mean, I don't think you would find very many people that have a billion dollar net worth that have as many different bank accounts as this Biden family had. Many of these were shell companies, as you and I have discussed, Maria, companies that's sole purpose was to launder the money that the Bidens were receiving from China, from Romania, from Russia, and never one time through the course of this entire investigation, even during the depositions with Hunter Biden and the transcribed interview with Jim Biden were they able to answer exactly what the family did to receive this money."

I smell a rat. Joe Biden suddenly anxious to debate Donald J. Trump seemingly out of the clear blue doesn't smell right. His Fraudulency (H/T John Nolte) can't put two sentences together much less navigate an intelligent debate with a seven-year old. Clearly we know ol' Joe didn't call for this. He's happy sitting in his basement or on the beach, eating ice cream and falling off his bike at every opportunity. We all know he doesn't want this. Who set him up and why? I preface the following suggestions on the fact that the Left has already demonstrated how elaborately sinister they can be with the election theft of 2020, the staging of January 6 with pipe bombs as "plan B," and the endless lawfare attempts to incarcerate the former (and hopefully future) President with made-up crimes they're not even attempting to hide anymore behind a veil of legitimacy. No conspiracy theory is off the table any more, therefore we must all proceed ever so cautiously. We cannot assume everything is as it seems.

Joe Biden is carrying debt of up to $815,000, financial records show. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are carrying a personal debt of up to $815,000, their financial records show, and no one is buying the president's books. Most of the couple's debt is the mortgage on their Delaware home and an equity loan on that home. Additionally their debt consists of a term loan of about $15,000 and a loan against a mutual fund for about $50,000. In total, the Bidens reported assets between roughly $1 million and $2.6 million and liabilities between roughly $350,000 and $850,000, according to an Office of Government Ethics form that lists ranges rather than precise figures.

The Biden Reelection Strategy. Joe Biden polls at or below 40 percent approval. Historically, such unpopularity has made it almost impossible for a president to be reelected. [Advertisement] His age advances by the hour. His voice falters, his memory fades, and his gait is reduced to short steps, with his arms, winglike and in tandem, offering balance. [Advertisement] Biden is not so much an octogenarian as an unhealthy and prematurely aging 80-year-old. It is America's irony that he is fit for almost no other job in the country other than President, which apparently allows for a 3-day-a-week ceremonial role while others in the shadows run the country. [Advertisement] So how does Biden become renominated and reelected, as polls show he is behind in almost every critical swing state on nearly every issue? [Advertisement] Answer: not by campaigning, not by championing his record, and especially not by doubling down on his neo-socialist and now unpopular agendas. Instead, his campaign is focused on four other strategies to beat Donald Trump.

Presidential Debates Start Next Month Which Means They're Setting Biden Up. With Democrats doing well in fundraising, there is no viable reason for an incumbent president to want an early summer debate. There are usually three fall debates to maximize viewership, but both Biden and Trump are exceptional cases. For Trump, the dates work to fit around the lawfare being waged against him. This makes sense even as the trials themselves do not. But for Biden, the reason to propose such an early debate is ominous. If they're able to pump him full of enough stimulants to make him appear lucid for an hour or two, then there's a chance he could actually continue to be the Democrat nominee. But in the likely event that he bombs from his severe lack of mental acuity, Democrats will have the predicate to replace him and the time to get their new candidate on most ballots.

The Biden Lies the Liberal Media Want You to Forget. As the 2024 election approaches, the left-wing corporate media have lost all interest in President Biden's frequent lies about his life and career. In the past, these journalists have paid brief attention to the one of President's latest tall tales, but rarely have they ever bothered to revisit them when the moment has passed. No matter how frequently Biden may lie, the media refuse to see a pattern. As NewsBusters executive editor Tim Graham has noted, prominent Biden fact-checkers spend a great deal of time disputing negative claims about Biden, yet they show little interest in fact-checking the man himself. Thanks to this favoritism, the President has gotten away with telling a host of utterly false or unproven stories about his own life. Some of these stories are less than a month old, while others have popped up multiple times throughout Biden's decades-long political career.

The Ravings of a Kindly Old Man with a Poor Memory. Joe Biden, long before he was, ahem, installed as president, pilfered and retained highly classified information in three different locations, one a presumably dust-and-spider-infested garage. But Robert Hur, the kind of federal prosecutor we should all be so lucky as to encounter, found that Crusty Joe was much too likable and fried to ever prosecute or convict. So no charges for poor, old, senile, and likely incontinent, Sleepy Joe. And that's my defense for anyone triggered by my forthcoming political and social ramblings. [...] Should a guy who can barely walk, talk, read a teleprompter, or control his bowels, be steering the vaunted ship of state? Of course not.

How America came to hate FJB. Biden was the most unknown president since William Howard Taft to the American people. Most people knew two things about Biden: 1) he was Obama's VP and 2) he wasn't Donald Trump. Three years ago, Americans saw No. 2 as a good thing. [...] His haphazard surrender of Afghanistan did him in. The public saw that he left behind billions of dollars worth of military equipment in a manner reminiscent of Vietnam, a war that helped catapult him into the Senate as a peacenik. The difference in 2021 was Americans didn't much care about Afghanistan because no one was drafted to fight it, the protests were few, and the feeling was that we had won. Ditching Afghanistan did him in. College football crowds began chanting [F] Joe Biden. This shocked me because college students are supposed to be socialist tools who just repeat whatever their pinko professors say. The media tried to ignore the chants but when the chants hit NASCAR, the media had to notice. Instead of telling the truth, they lied. The lie backfired.

Fake Fact-Checkers Snopes Is Forced To Reverse Their False Claim About Ashely Biden's Diary. Snopes reverses their 'Fact Check' after Ashley Biden confirmed her diary was real in a letter to Judge Laura Taylor Swain. Old Twitter would have used Snopes to ban us all for "misinformation." Ashley Biden appeared to suggest that her father was a pedophile by writing in her diary that he would have "probably inappropriate" showers with her. In a letter Judge Swain, Ashley confirmed the diary was real and whined that people were using it to attack her father.

Has America Finally Had It With Joe Biden? Joe Biden's personal approval rating is at historic lows; almost all his policies do not poll fifty percent. He is behind Trump in almost all the swing states. And now he lies serially even to sympathetic interviewers. In short, finally Biden has been exposed for what he always was and represented. Senator and Vice President Joe Biden was always sort of a buffoon. He is by nature a grandstander who handsomely profited from his office while posing as good ole Joe from Scranton. [...] He is a fabulist who believes that the more animated he misleads and slurs ("semi-fascists" "fat", "lying dog-faced pony soldier", "chumps", "dregs of society", etc), the more likely he is to get away with it. He is a confessed plagiarist. And he has also invented much of his biography, from would be star, college-scholarship athlete and brilliant law student to semi-truck driver and jailed civil rights activist. His uncle, we are instructed, was eaten by cannibals. Joe assures us that he was the first in his family to go to college.

The Biden Anti-American Legacy. Never before has an American president been so physically unstable that he needs an accompanying entourage wherever he walks. That shakiness is a visual metaphor of Biden's presidency. He represents a departure from previous presidents in being the only president who leaves voters doubting whether he is actually in charge and wondering why a frail 81-year-old, broadly despised man is being pushed to run again, even as most don't believe he's capable of completing that term if elected. Biden came in as the anti-Trump antidote who was supposed to unify us and bring the adults back into the room. Biden faces an international and domestic dumpster fire as he flip-flops from issue to issue.

Democrat Voter Triage. Four years ago, when Biden "won" the shadiest election in modern history, I expected four or eight years of nonsense and a lot of bad laws that would have to be repealed. Sort of a repeat of the Carter years. Boy howdy, was that ever an overoptimistic assessment. Carter should be thanking his lucky stars that Biden has handily bumped him out of the unenviable spot of "worst president ever." Which is actually a difficult accomplishment, when you think about it. I won't bother to list all of the aspects of his job which Biden has managed to bumble. Once you get past abandoning Americans and equipment in Afghanistan, allowing two wars to start, tanking the economy, ignoring the border laws, and using the Justice Department as his personal pack of thugs, it starts to get depressing. And we're not even halfway down the rap sheet.

The core of the Biden crimes and the Suspicious Activity Reports. Several small volumes have been written about the Biden Laptop and the scandals therein, and rightfully so. What these exposés omitted were the hundreds of documented crimes (both felonies and misdemeanors) and the necessary information to thoroughly expose and prosecute them. The Bidens' nepotism, although egregious, was not easily actionable under U.S. law. These omissions have served as a classic limited hangout for the family, who benefited from the milquetoast research put forward by most of the press. Nearly everyone who has written about these matters has buried the lede by missing — like ships passing in the dead of night — a statute that was written with Hunter and his ilk in mind: the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). The FARA requires those acting as an agent for a "foreign principal" to register with the DOJ. [...] Because the bar to comply with the FARA is so low, the penalties for violating the statute are relatively steep, including fines and up to five years in prison. Hunter and his business partners flagrantly violated this law for nearly a decade.

Biden abandons Israel to appease student rioters and help Hamas survive. Let's distill the real significance of Biden's decision: First, this action proves that Biden has never really wanted Hamas destroyed. Though he has appeared to support Israel from the beginning of this war, he has also been somewhat two-faced about that support. Throughout the war, beginning almost immediately after October 7th, he has continually applied pressure on Israel to slow or even stop its effort, while in the background he has continued to funnel money and aid to Hamas. Now he is made blatantly obvious his alliance with Israel is only skin deep. As far as he is concerned it is perfectly okay to have a new Nazi regime established next door to Israel, flinging rockets and mobs of terrorists into its territory to kill Jews, even as that new Nazi regime indoctrinates more Arabs to its cause. Second, by this decision Biden is meekly appeasing the student pro-Hamas rioters on college campuses. They want Hamas saved and Israel destroyed, and have been protesting violently in order to influence Biden and the Democrats to apply pressure on Israel to stop its offensive. Biden has now bowed to that pressure.

Joe Biden Just Committed an Impeachable Offense, and Donald Trump Might Have Something to Say About It. Joe Biden has committed his umpteenth impeachable offense. According to reports, the Biden administration has halted multiple arms shipments to Israel. That decision comes amid a domestic political crisis for the president in which he is desperately seeking to appease Hamas-supporting Democrats who have taken to the streets. The shipments are Boeing-made precision bombs and follow a ruse by Hamas to claim they had accepted a "ceasefire" just as Israel began its assault on Rafah. [Tweet] In other words, Biden just committed an impeachable offense. Congress appropriated that aid to Israel. He doesn't get to delay it in an attempt to smooth over his political misfortunes at home. How do I know that? Because that's the standard Democrats set with their first impeachment of Donald Trump. The former president was impeached and given a trial in the Senate in early 2020 based on the idea that he had held up an aid package to Ukraine in an attempt to benefit politically (in this case, investigating Biden family corruption in the country). There is no tangible difference between that and what Biden is doing with this aid to Israel.

Biden's double game on Hamas should fool no one. When President Joe Biden wants to say the right things about Israel and antisemitism, he knows how to do it. Much like his comments immediately after the Oct. 7 massacres, his speech at a Holocaust commemoration held in the U.S. Capitol on May 7 struck all the right notes. [...] Yet, the president said, "people are already forgetting. They are already forgetting. That Hamas unleashed this terror. It was Hamas that brutalized Israelis. It was Hamas who took and continues to hold hostages. I have not forgotten nor have you. And we will not forget." While his words earned the applause they garnered, that last statement isn't true. That's because his policies — as distinct from some of his speeches that were, like those at the Holocaust ceremony, largely aimed at Jewish voters — contradict that promise. Although he initially endorsed the Israeli goal of eliminating Hamas and seemed to implicitly commit to that again in his speech, the entire thrust of Biden's current Middle East policy is quite the opposite. He is doing everything he can, including threats of cutting off certain military weapons, diplomatic maneuvers at the United Nations and duplicitous efforts to push through an agreement with the terrorist group, to save Hamas from defeat just when Israel put it on the ropes.

Biden Shows Even Reading Is a Problem Now. Joe Biden had the United States Military Academy's Black Knights to the White House on Monday to present the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy to them for winning the competition among military academies. The Army team actually won it back in December after beating Navy, but it's taken Joe Biden this long to get around to recognizing them and presenting the trophy. [...] Then the cadets had to deal with Joe Biden, who looked ancient and spoke for only about five minutes. You can see here how even straight reading off the teleprompter leaves Joe confused about what he's supposed to be saying.

Unrepresentative Government. There used to be rituals common to all political campaigns, but you don't see them much anymore. This included multiple events taking place every day, announced in advance, and open to the media and the public. [...] Biden's recent visit to Tampa got me thinking about this. There were news stories announcing his visit in advance, but it was impossible to find out where it was. The media did not even acknowledge its own silence, taking it for granted that members of the public should not get to hear the president speak. When Biden arrived at the local community college campus — a location announced at the last possible movement — he met with hand-picked local party functionaries, and he gave a rather extreme speech that praised abortion as if it were the Eighth Sacrament. Wherever he goes, Biden almost never mixes with regular people.

Has Leftist Lawfare Created the Police State Yet? Could it be that the average non-leftist citizen now feels both powerless and terrified to object to any of these injustices? They see the brutal treatment meted out to President Trump, his associates, and his legal team, on the one hand, versus the reverence for a president whose family has inexplicably received millions of dollars from foreign sources and for violent protesters who have magically escaped jail time, or of crack-using, tax-dodging Biden family members. Consider the brazenness and audacity of this administration, including its DOJ, over the last several years. Their targeted victims have purposely included some of the most credentialed, accomplished, prominent, well-connected, and well-heeled Americans, people such as cabinet members, generals, journalists, and even attorneys of those same victims. Other victims have been ordinary folk, such as people's friends, family members, parents opposing sexualized curricula at their kids' schools, or peaceful men and women holding up signs near an abortion clinic.

Biden DHS shuts down 'experts' panel featuring signatories of infamous Hunter laptop letter. The Biden administration agreed Friday to shut down a panel of "experts" that included multiple signatories of a letter that dismissed a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden as Russian disinformation. The Department of Homeland Security agreed to "wind down" the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group in 30 days following litigation from America First Legal, according to court documents. The experts in the group included former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who signed an October 2020 letter that claimed a bombshell New York Post report about emails from the laptop supposedly abandoned by Hunter Biden "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

Report: Biden Unable to Handle His Job, Hands Things Over to Kamala. We have all asked people to lend a hand when doing a job before. It's human nature to ask for help. That being said, if you ask someone for help you don't completely abandon the job. That seems to be what Joe Biden has been doing. The Biden presidency has been so predictable. Governing by executive order, refusing to speak to the press, a border crisis, and handing over power to Kamala Harris. Everyone who was paying attention could see the cognitive decline of Joe Biden. Even those who hate him have felt at least a small amount of sympathy for the man who is clearly suffering from the effects of old age, and is being controlled by his allies, and possibly even his wife, in the Democrats' quest for power. As his administration continues to shield Biden from the press, reports have come out of the White House that Kamala Harris is taking over many of the duties we typically see the president in charge of.

Joe Biden is far from 'decent' despite what the media and celebrities may claim. Joe Biden is the least popular president of the past 70 years, according to a new Gallup poll. But you wouldn't know it if you were at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington on Saturday night. The glittering event is supposed to be a roast of the president. Instead, it was a flattering suck-up to Biden amid jabs at Donald Trump. "Saturday Night Live" comedian Colin Jost, best known as Scarlett Johansson's second husband, is a Staten Island boy who reads The [New York] Post, so you'd think he'd have a clue. But he ended his performance with a gushing tribute to Biden's "decency."

DA Finally Reveals Underlying Crime Trump Allegedly Committed, and the Bidens Should be Nervous. Prosecutors in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's office have finally revealed the underlying crime they allege Donald Trump was committing when he allegedly falsified business records. According to Fox News, "New York prosecutor Joshua Steinglass on Tuesday said the other crime was a violation of a New York law called 'conspiracy to promote or prevent election.'" [...] If this silly legal fairy tale somehow results in a conviction, all of the people involved in "catch-and-kill" related to the 2020 election, including the 51 former intelligence officials who lied about the origins of the Hunter Biden laptop story, those who arranged for the New York Post's story to be censored, and people who conspired to deplatform those who said anything negative about Joe Biden, better watch out.

Biden should be more concerned than anyone about the precedent the Trump trials are setting. With news about the White House's collusion with prosecutors in the slew of trials thrown at President Trump as he campaigns for re-election, it's natural to think that Joe Biden and his mentor, Barack Obama, are mainly interested in knocking him out of the race before anyone can get a chance to vote for him. Obama, after all, got his start in politics by doing just that. No one can say that Obama doesn't know the Chicago Way. But while this activity is natural for Obama, Joe Biden looks more like a sitting duck, an unwitting boob, a goose, slowly being fattened for the Christmas dinner.

Is Biden's IRS Meddling In The IG Investigation Of Hunter Biden Whistleblowers? "The IRS needs to get into gear immediately and provide answers about the scope and status of the alleged investigatory process" into the Hunter Biden whistleblowers, Sen. Chuck Grassley told The Federalist. Grassley's comment comes after he received a letter from the Internal Revenue Service commissioner stating that the IRS is not investigating the whistleblowers and that any investigation would be handled by the inspector general's office to ensure independence. The IRS commissioner's claim is far from comforting, however, given that a recent court filing indicates the chief counsel office of the IRS is kept apprised of the IG's apparent probe of the whistleblowers. Last month, Special Counsel David Weiss responded to a motion Hunter Biden filed seeking dismissal of the criminal tax charges pending against the president's son in California. In his motion, Hunter argued the IRS's supposed "outrageous conduct" violated his due process rights and justified dismissal of the indictment. That "outrageous conduct," according to Hunter's motion, consisted of the government "not taking action to curtail the misconduct or prevent the unauthorized disclosure of confidential grand jury and taxpayer return information," by IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler.

Joe Biden Shakes Hands with Air After Incoherent Speech in Tampa. Joe Biden on Tuesday arrived in Tampa, Florida to attack the 6-week abortion ban during remarks at Hillsborough Community College's Dale Mabry campus. Florida is Trump country! No one cares that Joe Biden is in Tampa. He can't even fill a small venue. [Tweet] Biden is hoping to shore up the Gen Z vote in Florida by attacking the state's 6-week abortion ban that goes into effect May 1. After finishing his slur-filled speech, Biden turned to his right and shook hands with air.

Biden Pushes Debunked Claim Trump Told Americans to Inject Themselves With Bleach, Here's the Truth. Four years ago, the media birthed one of the biggest fictions that it pushed during the COVID-19 pandemic: that Donald Trump told Americans to inject themselves with bleach. He did no such thing, but the desperate Biden campaign wants you to think so. [Tweet with video clip] The false claim originated from the White House Coronavirus Task Force Briefing on April 23, 2020. During the briefing, Trump and others discussed possible COVID-19 treatments, including UV light treatments. [...] As you can see, Trump wasn't talking about bleach. He was talking about what is known as blood irradiation therapy — which can be done intravenously. The clip that the Biden campaign shared is absurdly out of context.

He's obviously not the real president.
Democrats are using an infirm 81-year-old Joe Biden to defraud the electorate. [Scroll down] It's not just Biden's sepulchral presentation, but his administration's increasingly unpopular policies covering the economy, the border, foreign affairs and a raft of fringe social engineering projects, such as Friday's rewriting of Title IX, which effectively abolishes the distinction between women and men. The nation was not exactly crying out for this Orwellian policy, but it's part of the curious tapestry of bespoke pandering that constitutes Biden's re-election platform. Pretending you've stopped inflation, pretending you need Congress to shut the border, pretending that your uncle was eaten by cannibals: These are not vote-winners for Biden. Whether he's walking "like a toothpick," as Donald Trump describes the president's stiff gait, falling over, garbling teleprompter scripts, or breaking into sudden angry yelling, in the normal political calculus, such a candidate should be heading for a car crash. Even worse, the backup plan is Kamala Harris, [...] With Harris, what you see is what you get: a complete phony spouting condescending claptrap.

You don't have to be very bright to understand that lying, swearing, graft, and abortion are wrong.
Biden 'doesn't understand the Catholic faith,' bishop says: 'I'm not angry at him, he's just stupid'. A Catholic bishop in Michigan weighed in on the discrepancy between President Biden's policies and his professed Catholic faith earlier this month, suggesting "forgiveness" for the president's "stupidity." Bishop Robert Gruss of the Diocese of Saginaw mentioned Biden during "Forgiveness as the Heart of Christianity," a lecture given on Apr. 5 at the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption. In the discussion, Gruss urged congregants to let go of unproductive anger and resentment towards others — citing his own experience growing up with an alcoholic father and a letter he wrote in adulthood forgiving him for the trauma of his youth.

Senile Joe Tries to Order a Milkshake, Gets Lost, Wanders Away from Handlers. A visibly confused Joe Biden struggled to order a milkshake at a Philadelphia convenience store Thursday. His handlers attempted to guide the aging president through the process, but he eventually gave up and wandered away. [Three tweets with video clips]

This Is How Joe Biden Was Greeted In His Hometown Of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Joe Biden is greeted in his hometown of Scranton, PA. [Video clip]

Biden Tried To Recreate Trump's Chick-fil-A Moment But No One [Cared]. Biden takes a page from Trump's book and orders a milkshake at a Wawa in Philadelphia, a week after Trump ordered milkshakes at a Chick-fil-A. Spot the difference... Biden started ordering a milkshake and then got distracted with a box. It was later revealed that his entire visit to the Wawa was staged. Workers were caught on camera scripting his visit and even preparing for the cashiers "tip." The visit looked much different than Trump's visit to Chick-fil-A where he was greeted by tons of excited [and genuine] supporters. [Video clip]

The Difference Between Trump's Bodega Visit and Biden's Gas Station 'Photo-Op' Is Truly Remarkable. Support for the two 2024 election candidates looks very different, and it's good news for those who want the United States back to the way it was before Democrats assumed office. After spending hours in a Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump was met with an abundance of support while visiting a local New York City bodega. "Trump, Trump, Trump," "Four more years," and "We love Trump," could be heard from the streets of the city as the 2024 hopeful addressed the crowd. The crowd filled with dozens of supporters began singing the National Anthem as the former president approached them. The energy was abundant, lively, and full of hope as Trump promised to Make America Great Again. Nothing compares to his presence — however hard President Joe Biden tries. [Tweet]

The Editor says...
Trump's event featured a large and genuinely supportive crowd. Biden's event was a scripted copycat astroturfed farce, and an abject failure.

Joe Biden Struggles with Takeout Box at Carefully Choreographed Visit to Wawa in Philly. Joe Biden on Thursday continued campaigning in Pennsylvania and made a stop in Philadelphia. This is Biden's last day in Pennsylvania this week before he returns to the White House. After a gaffe-filled speech to a paltry crowd in deep blue Philly, Biden made a trip to Wawa. Every moment of Biden's visit to Wawa was highly choreographed and scripted.

Biden Claims He Prevented Israel from Invading Haifa — an Israeli City. President Joe Biden appeared to confuse the Israeli port city of Haifa with the Palestinian town of Rafah in the Gaza Strip during an interview on Wednesday in his home town Scranton, Pennsylvania. In video circulated by the Republican National Committee — but evidently cut from the version of the interview that eventually aired on TV stations — Biden claimed credit for having pressured Israel not to launch an attack on its own city[.]

"Are You Ready to Choose Freedom Over Democracy? Because That's America!" — Joe Biden Falls Apart in Philadelphia. Joe Biden on Thursday continued campaigning in Pennsylvania and made a stop in Philadelphia. This is Biden's last day in Pennsylvania this week before he returns to the White House. So far, Biden's stops in Scranton and Pittsburgh have been total disasters. A protestor was removed from Biden's Philly event. Notice how small the room is. Biden can't even fill a small venue in deep blue Philadelphia.

Joe Biden says things, and then there's reality. Joe Biden is out in Pennsylvania saying that Trump got rich the old-fashioned way: he inherited it. At least that is an honest way to get rich. Trump inherited money, and he took a massive amount of risk and created a huge number of jobs. Biden, on the other hand, got rich the same way a lot of politicians get rich. He used his powerful position in government and took his son around the world on government-paid transportation, collecting kickbacks from a number of adversaries, including Russia, Ukraine, and China. The only thing the Biden family had to sell was access to Joe. They did not take risks. They did not develop anything. They did not have a service or product to sell. They did not create jobs. They created shell companies to launder the money through. That is not an honest way to get rich, but a lot of corrupt politicians have achieved wealth the same way. Biden also claims that Trump doesn't pay taxes. He pays a huge amount of taxes — whether it is real estate taxes, payroll taxes, or income taxes when the tax code shows he owes them.

Joe Biden Is a Sniveling, Unabashed Coward. Joe Biden is a coward in every sense of the word. Cowardice emanates from him like rotting garbage. Cowardice overflows his speeches like a drain backing up from a clogged sewer line. Cowardice infects everything he touches. The well from which he extracts his cowardice is truly bottomless. To witness it, in its shameless, reeking putrescence, is utterly cringeworthy. There is nothing beneath the man. There is nothing he won't say or do to retain power. [...] Over the years, Biden's media quislings have laughably associated many virtuous adjectives with him in efforts to fortify his reputation. Decent. Moderate. Accomplished. Steady. Lucid. It is telling that nobody, not even the most ludicrous of leftist outlets, has ever called him brave. That's with good reason. And anybody still quietly harboring that delusion before this past weekend just got the red pill they needed. His betrayal of Israel should cement for any fence-sitters what the Russians, Chinese, and Iranians already knew full well: that Biden has all the spine of a common garden worm.

Joe Biden doesn't feel our pain, he mocks it. And you know what that means. Inflation and crime, more than any others, are the political issues that voters feel in their gut rather than consider in their mind. For President Joe Biden, this is a massive problem because not only are Americans deeply worried about both, they blame the sitting president. According to the Real Clear Politics average of polls, 56% of Americans disapprove of Biden's handling of crime, compared to a mere 38% who approve. On inflation, it's even worse, with the president 26 points underwater. Taxes, foreign policy, even something as emotionally fraught as abortion are ideas that most people grapple with intellectually, weighing concepts and compromises, deciding whose approach they prefer.

The Deep State's Accelerating Attacks On Trump Show A Consciousness Of Guilt. Joe Biden has proven to be a puppet of the Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian oligarchs — a true Manchurian Candidate. Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's princeling, raked in millions of dollars at arm's length from Uncle Joe for the Biden crime family from adversaries for no credible business reason. Why? The purpose was to gain access to Joe Biden for favorable policy decisions and actions, i.e., going soft on China and Russia, releasing funds to the Iranian Mullahs whose proxies attack Israel, selective prosecution of political enemies, and allowing a two-tiered justice system. It's become clear in the past three years that a whole cadre of domestic and foreign adversaries all engaged in or aided and abetted in a coup to unseat a duly elected President and to prevent his reelection. [...] Facts show that the Biden and Clinton families are criminal enterprises as defined in the RICO Act. The families conspired with others, both foreign adversaries and domestic operatives, for their personal gain or benefit to undermine and even sabotage the best interest of the American people and America's national security interests, including using election fraud.

The American public is exhausted by Biden. During all this time, thanks to the utterly craven, stupid media, we have been, daily, reassured not to believe our own eyes regarding the actions and sentiments of the worst U.S. president in our history, but rather to believe the lies which rapidly provide cover for all and any of Biden's outrageous decisions. In point: the spending of our hard-earned money via taxes, 'entitlements' such as Medicare, and a slew of progressive support garbage that has never worked but has driven our minority populations into the ditch. Biden has flooded the country with illegals, cartels, and deadly drugs, all of these entrants are receiving his mercenary 'kindness' via flights, hotel stays, credit cards, I.D.s, and more. Why is illegal immigration another Biden mercenary activity? Because he is buying their votes so he can continue (he thinks) riding the putrid wave of greatest privilege in the elite swamp.

Biden Held a Rally in His Pennsylvania Hometown and Barely Anyone Showed Up. Joe Biden traveled to his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday but did not get the reception he might have hoped for. Photos of Biden's event appeared to show just a few dozen people in attendance for a campaign speech in which he unveiled plans to increase taxes on the super-rich. Meanwhile, images from Trump's rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend showed thousands of people in attendance who had come to see the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. [Tweet] According to CNN, which often operates as an unofficial mouthpiece of the White House, Biden was seeking to push his own version of "economic populism."

Gaming the 2024 Campaign. First, on the negative side of the ledger, Biden suffers continual mental and physical decline, which is accelerating exponentially. His work week is now more off than on. Aides pray that he can get through a teleprompter without complete incoherence. His speech is so slurred, his syntax so bizarre that he seems to speak a language that is mostly indecipherable. [...] The odds are 50/50 whether Biden will even make it over the next five months to the August Democratic Convention. And, assuming that he does, can he rein in efforts to push him off the ticket? Second, the Biden family is corrupt. Hunter still faces spring- and summer-long felony exposure in connection with his Biden-family brand of tax cheating. Joe knows that his own documents, first-hand witnesses, bank statements, Hunter's emails, and testimonies from Hunter's associates reveal that the otherwise talentless but high-living Biden extended family was surviving only by the sale of Senator, Vice President, and future President Joe Biden's name — and his known willingness to pay fast and loose with legal and ethical constraints.

"Don't" Is Not A Foreign Policy. The ground shook in Tehran as Ali Khamenei, the 84 year old supreme leader of Iran, shook in his boots as he listened to President Joe Biden give his terse warning to Iran about attacking Israel. Biden looked into the camera, mustered all of his intestinal fortitude, and barked a single word that he thought would instill fear in the rogue country, "Don't." Without another sound, he turned and shuffled away from the podium. He had spoken. It was feckless, but why should we expect more from this man who has disappointed us daily during his presidency? I can imagine Biden had a similar effect on Benjamin Netanyahu as he listened to the American President, and it just adds to the confusing message of support that Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have been delivering since the October 7 attack last year. One day, Biden is pledging unwavering military support for our greatest ally in the Middle East, and the next day, he is condemning Israel's strategy and tactics. Since World War II, American support for the sovereignty and safety of Israel has been unconditional except for two Presidencies, Obama and Biden.

Don't, Don't, Don't. Biden and Barack Obama came out of the same school of weak appeasement and coddling Iran, and weakness invites attack. Add to that not just the policy and response to Iran's aggressions have been weak, but Biden himself is the personification of weakness. That's led to where we are now, with the box Biden has painted himself into, with bad actors getting out of hand and the Biden team trying to figure out what to do. Let's follow along with Joe Biden's bold pronouncements in the face of aggression, with a little help from Maze. [Tweet with video clip]

Biden Insisted on Vacation in Face of Threat From Iran, Now He's Rushing Back. Something Is Up. Joe Biden left for his beach house in Delaware on Friday, despite the threat of a potential attack on Israel by Iran hanging out in the wind. [...] It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it wasn't a good idea to go on vacation. What about the danger to the American troops in the region? What about the hostages being held by Hamas? But Biden didn'tt want anything to stand in the way of his vacation, and whatever they do for him when he's in Delaware.

Bad News for Hunter Biden As Judge Denies Motions to Dismiss Delaware Gun Case. First Son Hunter Biden struck out in Delaware District Court on Friday as Judge Maryellen Noreika denied his motions to dismiss the criminal gun charges against him. The disappointing (for Hunter) ruling came just two weeks after a California District Court denied his motions to dismiss tax evasion charges against him. While the California case is set for trial on June 20, 2024, the Delaware case currently is set to begin trial on June 3, 2024, with a pre-trial conference now set for May 24, 2024. In orders issued Friday afternoon (which may be viewed below), Noreika denied Biden's motions to dismiss on the basis of claimed immunity pursuant to the pretrial diversion agreement, selective and vindictive prosecution, and that Special Counsel David Weiss was appointed in violation of Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations.

Biden, It Was YOU! It was not President Trump who refused to enforce our immigration laws. It was YOU! It was not President Trump who opened our southern border to 10 million illegals from around the globe. By erasing President Trump's executive order, worked out with Mexico, to house illegals there, Biden made himself responsible for the entry of drug cartels, criminals, gang members, rapists, and terrorists from enemy countries into our collective home. It was YOU! It was not President Trump who secretly and illegally flew 325,000 illegals from across the globe to cities across the U.S. at taxpayers' expense. It was YOU! It was not President Trump who allowed CCP-affiliated military-aged men to enter our collective home illegally. It was YOU! It was not President Trump who erased our energy independence by shutting down the Keystone Pipeline and making us once again energy dependent on foreign sources. It was YOU!

Of Course, DNC Has Quietly Been Paying Biden's Legal Fees. If you've heard any of the talking points coming out of the Biden camp in the last few weeks, you've probably heard the one about Trump's legal bills. But it turns out that even as the Biden campaign and the DNC were making that case, the DNC was also paying Biden's legal bills. Here's Biden's campaign finance chairman Rufus Gifford appearing on MSNBC Sunday. "Every single dime that you give the Biden-Harris election campaign, we spend talking to voters," he said. He added, "We are not spending money on legal bills." This ciip of Gifford saying all of that was posted on YouTube by the DNC along with links so people could make donations.

Biden's $1.5 million in legal fees in classified documents probe were covered by campaign donations. President Joe Biden used campaign donations to pay his legal bills related to the investigation of his handling of classified documents, a stunning new report revealed on Friday. Biden and his allies have blasted rival Donald Trump for using donors' money to pay for his massive legal bills. But Biden is doing the same thing, Axios reported, revealing the Democratic National Committee paid more than $1.5 million to lawyers or firms representing Biden during special counsel Robert Hur probe of the president's handling of classified documents.

Joe Biden's Former Stenographer Publishes Book on Why He Should be in Prison. Mike McCormick, who served as Joe Biden's stenographer traveling with him around the world including to Ukraine, recently published a book revealing what he saw, which included criminal activity in regards to the Burisma kickback scheme. "The Case to Impeach and Imprison Joe Biden" lays out probably the most comprehensive account ever written about the scheme. McCorrmick became aware of the criminal nature of the activity after poring over the emails on Hunter Biden's laptop, which allowed him to put it all together. "When I worked for him, I thought Joe was harmless — egotistical, buffoonish, and unpresidential, but harmless," he said. "Now I think of him as an evil criminal who should be impeached and imprisoned." McCormick served as Biden's stenographer when he was vice president from 2011 to 2017, transcribing every speech and interview. He said he personally witnessed Biden negotiate the Burisma kickback scheme — U.S. funding to Ukrainian energy, primarily Burisma, in exchange for putting Hunter Biden on Burisma's board of directors — on a trip to Poland in 2014.

Joe Biden: "I Used Teach the Second Amendment in Law School...". Joe Biden sat down for a one-on-one softball interview with Democrat-friendly Univision. Biden attacked the Second Amendment during his interview and told Univision host Enrique Acevedo that he used to teach law school. "I used to teach the Second Amendment in law school ... From the very beginning, there were limitations. You couldn't own a cannon!" Biden said. Of course, the Univision host did not push back on Joe Biden's lies.

Biden Just Betrayed Every American (Except Islamic Extremists). Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates famously said that Joe Biden "has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." But even Gates should be shocked by the words that came out of Joe Biden's mouth today. "What I'm calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks total access to all food and medicine going into the country," the president said, as unbelievable as it may seem. Nothing was said about hostages being released (Hamas has already admitted over the last few days that at least some of the hostages are dead). There was no call for Hamas to surrender or even stop rocket attacks and acts of terrorism. War only ends because it is so difficult for one side and its populace to continue the war. And Biden wants to keep dragging it out; allow Hamas, which is committed to the destruction of Israel, to regroup and re-arm; and set the stage for more events like October 7, God forbid. Hey, Joe, what about the hostages still being held by Hamas who are American citizens?

Liar! All the necessary laws are already on the books.
Biden: I'm 'Examining' if I Can Shut Down Border Unilaterally, 'Trying to Work Through that'. During an interview with Univision that took place last Wednesday and aired on Tuesday, [...] Interviewer Enrique Acevedo asked, "Have you made a final decision on taking executive [action], in terms of what you want to do at the border, that includes the power to shut down the border, as it was suggested?" Biden answered, "We're examining whether or not I have that power. I would have that power under the legislation when the border has over... 5,000 people a day trying to cross the border, because you can't manage it, slow it up. There's no guarantee that I have that power all by myself without legislation. And some have suggested I should just go ahead and try it, and if I get shut down by the court, I get shut down by the court, but we're trying to work through that right now."

The time to start asking this question was about two years ago, when the answer was already obvious.
Is Barack Obama serving a third term by running a 'shadow government' in Biden's White House? Former U.S. president Barack Obama once famously said that he would serve a third term as long as he didn't have to do all the legwork. "If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats ... and then I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I'd be fine with that," Obama remarked to liberal comedian Stephen Colbert in November 2020. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? According to multiple media outlets, Obama has been making his presence increasingly felt in the cognitively impaired Joe Biden White House. Reports published by Deep State-owned CNN, the New York Times, and The Washington Post have all touted the former president's intensifying involvement in the administration's efforts, a not-so-subtle sign as to who is really in charge.

More about Obama's third term.

This Is Who Joe Biden Is Appeasing in Michigan As He Abandons Support for Israel. President Biden has lost the plot in the Israel-Hamas war. His alleged moral clarity in full support of Israel has been interrupted by a panic over losing votes in Dearborn, Michigan. The level of antisemitism in America is alarming. The fact that the president is now more worried about his re-election in November than he is about the survival of Israel and Jews is shocking. There is history here, though. Biden was Barack Obama's vice president and Obama's contempt for Israel, especially Prime Minister Netanyahu, was well known. Some Obama bros even worked against Netanyahu in an election in Israel. Joe Biden likes to say he's been friends with Netanyahu for decades. With friends like Biden, Netanyahu doesn't need any more.

The Editor says...
Barack H. Obama is no friend of Israel, and we are living in Barack H. Obama's third term. I'll wait here while you connect the dots.

When China Wired Money to Joe's House. In the summer of 2019, while Joe Biden was running for president, the money was rolling into Delaware from Communist China. This was the same Wilmington house where classified documents were lying around while Hunter Biden was living while allegedly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on prostitutes: some of them apparently foreign nationals. On paperwork, Hunter appeared to claim ownership of the house and in 2010, he had begun paying for the upkeep of the house and his veep dad's bills. By the time Jonathan Li, the CEO of BHR, was sending a $250,000 wire payment to Joe Biden's address, the former vice president and future president had already met with the Chinese investment exec doing business with his family and had written recommendation letters for his kids. The $250,000 Chinese wire was described as a "loan". But how was Hunter, by then approaching rock bottom, going to pay it off? Where was the money coming from?

Justice Department Refuses to Hand over Audio of Joe Biden's Special-Counsel Interview. The Justice Department is refusing to provide House Republicans the audio recording of President Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur. The DOJ wrote a letter Monday to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R., Ohio.) and Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) explaining its decision not to turn over the audio recordings. "Indeed, by the Committees' own measure, the Department has met your stated informational needs. The Department has produced the two classified documents you requested, the transcripts of the Special Counsel Office interviews of the President and of Mark Zwonitzer that you requested, and the correspondence regarding the Special Counsel's report that you requested," wrote Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, according to a copy of the letter obtained by National Review.

Joe Biden's Narcissism Devolves Into Sociopathy at Baltimore Bridge Collapse Site. Joe Biden made a short trip to Baltimore on Friday [and ...] visited the site of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, which occurred after a container ship lost power and hit one of the support structures. As the president's public appearances go, his latest was typical. Biden slurred his words and got confused multiple times, both things that seem to occur every time he gives a speech. If he ever figures out how to exit a stage, it'll be the first time in a long time. There was one moment that caught my eye, though, because it exposed something deeper than the president's general senility and lack of timing. [Tweet with video clip] [...] This was not just a harmless infrastructure failure. Six people died after the bridge collapsed, with some bodies being found in vehicles submerged at the bottom of the bay after an extensive search. Biden was at the site of a deadly tragedy. What kind of person shows up in that setting and starts giving a bad comedy routine? Further, what kind of person then makes up a story in an attempt to make themselves the center of attention?

And So Sayeth the Donald. President Biden's grating SOTU address, complete with an Obama-esque public flogging of the Supreme Court, leaves little doubt that he and the Democrats consider the abortion issue to be their get out of jail card, their virtual reprieve from the governor, sparing them the political execution their dismal handling of the nation's affairs has justly earned. It didn't occur to Mr. Biden's speechwriter/handlers in crafting this discordant national harangue that of all the people to threaten with the "political power of women," members of the Supreme Court are the least appropriate officials to address in this manner. It's their clear duty to keep their eyes firmly planted on the Constitution and ignore prevailing political winds and passions of the kind to which Mr. Biden mindlessly alluded.

DOJ Seeks Prison Time for Woman Who Found Ashley Biden's Diary that Revealed Old Joe's Perverted Acts with His Daughter. As previously reported, Ashley Biden, Joe Biden's youngest daughter, left her diary under a mattress at the Palm Beach rehab home following a stay at a treatment facility. Two individuals who found Ashley Biden's diary at a halfway house later sold the diary to James O'Keefe and Project Veritas. In a January 2019 entry, Ashley Biden recalled how she used to shower with her father, Joe Biden, and suggested it may have contributed to a sex addiction. The diary describes Ashley and her father Joe Biden taking showers together at an inappropriate age.

Biden Starts Yapping at the Teleprompter Guy During Confused and Embarrassing Speech. Another day, another confused and embarrassing performance from the current White House resident. Greek Independence Day was the occasion on Thursday, with Joe Biden hosting a reception in the East Room. Why Greek Independence Day is an event worthy of a White House reception wasn't immediately clear, and neither was anything the president said. Right on cue, Biden did his faux Forrest Gump routine where he inserts himself into every aspect of every culture. It's fitting that just two days before this speech, the president repeated a tall tale about being raised by the Puerto Rican community. Biden has also made similar claims regarding the Jewish and Black communities. There's almost no ethnicity he won't appropriate in some manner.

This would be a step in the right direction, and much quicker than impeachment.
Archbishop Viganò: Biden must be recognized as excommunicated after 'Trans Day of Visibility' declaration. The unprecedented and scandalous proclamation of March 31 as "Transgender Visibility Day" by self-styled U.S. President Joe Biden — who dares to declare himself a Catholic — constitutes a most serious offense to God and to millions of Catholics and Christians in America and around the world, before which it is impossible not to react with due firmness. I urge American citizens and their representatives in government to recognize the total unworthiness of Joe Biden to hold an institutional position, which it is well known that he used fraudulent and manipulative action to achieve in the 2020 presidential election. I ask my brethren in the episcopate and priests to recognize that Joe Biden has incurred latæ sententiæ excommunication, and as such must be expelled from the churches and not admitted to Communion.

Texts from Hunter Biden's business partner to Tony Bobulinski suggests president [Biden] was part of deal with Chinese government-linked oil giant CEFC. Emails show Hunter Biden's ex-business partner and impeachment witness Tony Bobulinski offered information to Democrat lawmakers on Joe Biden's links to his son's shady business dealings as early as 2020. Records also show the businessman offered to turn over his business cell phones to forensic analysts — countering claims from Democrats that he isn't willing to back up his story with evidence. The emails between Bobulinski and Democrat lawmaker Ro Khanna come from a short documentary released by Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night, with behind-the-scenes footage of Bobulinski during a congressional hearing last month.

Who Will Vote for a Walking Corpse? Social media was briefly abuzz last month about Presidentish Joe Biden's boat-anchor shoes, the ones meant to help keep him from falling. But the shoes aren't what really weigh him down — it's voter expectations that he won't survive a second term. Before we get to that, a little more on the shoes because I honestly can't get enough of that story. After Biden was first spotted sporting his snowboard-sized kicks, the RNC tweeted, "Biden's handlers are forcing him to wear a new pair of 'lifestyle sneakers' because he trips so much," which of course, lefties denied. "Inside Edition" protested that Biden's Hoka Transport shoes are just "lifestyle sneakers" while also admitting that the "wide sole" is "no doubt great for stability." I don't have a photo I can post of the Transports, but not only are the soles wide enough to save both Jack and Rose from drowning in the freezing North Atlantic, they don't even have regular laces. Biden's Transports are laced with those pull strings that my kids' shoes had before they learned to tie their own. Is that common on shoes for grownups? I have no idea. But the fact remains that in his Hokas, Biden is basically a living, breathing Weeble.

Biden Bizarrely Denies Declaring Easter Sunday 'Transgender Day of Visibility'. President Joe Biden reportedly denied declaring Easter Sunday the "Transgender Day of Visibility," despite issuing a very clear proclamation on Good Friday, which stated in part, "I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility." RealClearPolitics reporter Philip Melanchthon Wegmann detailed the Q&A of Biden's denial on Monday. According to Wegmann, Biden said, "I didn't do that" and claimed that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who criticized Biden for making the proclamation, is "thoroughly uninformed": [...]

Black Gold. In 2019, while campaigning in New Hampshire, Joe Biden promised to "end fossil fuel." Not only has he failed to keep his promise, oil consumption has reached a new all-time high. For this we should all be thankful. When a climate activist challenged him on that September day about his connections to the co-founder of a liquified natural gas company, Biden, as he has done throughout his career of "public service," became Joe the Clown. Calling her "kiddo," he told her to look into his eyes, then said "I guarantee you. We're going to end fossil fuel." The ever-fawning-for-Democrats media called it an "intimate moment." But it was nothing more than a typical "Biden moment" on the campaign trail.

Joe Catholic strikes again. Honestly this is obscene and disrespectful to people who celebrate Easter Sunday for a different reason. Joe Catholic is either a fraud, a man signing whatever they put in front of him or maybe both. Imagine a president signing a proclamation honoring Ho Chi Minh on Memorial Day, or one honoring Jim Crow on Martin Luther King Day or one honoring King George II on July 4th. The insanity goes on in large part because they know at the White House that the press won't ask the president about it. They never do and KJP may hang up on them if they do.

Biden Turns the Transgender High Holy Day Into a 'Look at Me' Moment. By now, we're all aware that the White House managed to commit the most sacrilegious act imaginable — or at least made the biggest possible slap in the faces of Christians — by emphasizing "Transgender Day of Visibility" over Easter. While the holiday honoring our secular state religion of transgenderism is fixed on March 31, it could have and rightly should have taken a backseat to the moveable feast that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. Instead, Joe Biden, his handlers, and the rest of his administration chose to double down on honoring a tiny minority of transgender Americans over the millions of Christians who celebrate Easter Sunday. The White House statement on Easter was only 94 words, while the proclamation of "Transgender Day of Visibility" clocked in at a whopping 635 words. On the president's X/Twitter account, the "Transgender Day of Visibility" tweet was twice as long (45 words) as the Easter tweet (20 words).

Joe Biden Tells 'Trans Americans' They Are 'Made in the Image of God'. President Joe Biden's secular deputies kidnapped Christian theology to champion transgenderism on the holiest weekend for Christianity. On Sunday afternoon, Biden's X account tweeted: "Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God, and you're worthy of respect and dignity."

The Social Justice War To Replace Christianity. You might think that on Christianity's most holy day, a president running for reelection in a majority Christian nation would go out of his way to avoid antagonizing Christians. You'd be wrong. The Biden Administration has declared today, Easter Sunday, as a "Transgender Day of Visibility." [...] Transexist dogma demands that you agree that 2+2=5. To note the biological reality that human beings with XX chromosomes are female, and XY chromosomes are male, and that no amount of cosmetic surgery can ever change that, is commit a heresy against the new church of social justice. Transesxist dogma is so unpopular that they're even rejecting it in New York City, but the Biden Administration still insists on forcing it down America's throats. Even in an election year. Even on Easter Sunday. The brazenness of dedicating Easter Sunday to transexual activism should convince you that the hard left is actively hostile to Christianity. They view it as a competing source of moral legitimacy that thwarts their will-to-power desire of a complete transformation of American society.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. For those of you who celebrate this sacred day, Happy Easter. For those who don't, most Americans appreciate that it is the holiest day of the year for you and treat it with civilized respect. To the President who claims he is a Catholic in good standing, it's just another day to poke his fingers in your eyes. Yes, the White House is hosting the traditional easter egg rolling event, but it has banned all religious symbols at the event, and in a proclamation dated, "in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-four" announced that this day, March 31, is "Transgender Day of Visibility." (Can you honestly say transgenders have been invisible in this Administration or generally in our country these days?) It strikes me that it is so deliberately offensive to Christians it's puzzling.

Not to mention the lying and swearing...
Cardinal Says Joe Biden is a "Nominal" Catholic, Should be Excommunicated for Supporting Abortion. In a new interview, a Catholic Cardinal who headed up one of the top Vatican offices says Joe Biden is "nominal" Catholic and should be excommunicated for supporting abortion. Cardinal Gerhard Müller, who previously lead the Vatican's highest doctrine office, called abortion "infanticide" and saying those politicians who actively support abortion like Biden should be "excommunicated." "The word 'abortion' is too much a soft word. The reality is killing, murder of a living person," said Gerhard Cardinal Müller. "There's no right to kill another person. It's absolutely against the Fifth Commandment."

The Democrat party is a Potemkin village. Nothing has revealed the shallow, empty façade of the Democrat party like the rather obscene fundraiser held Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall. Joe Biden's campaign is going so badly that Barack Obama and Bill Clinton were resurrected from the shadows to bolster Biden's sinking polling numbers. Whoever is running the campaign apparently thinks people are so stupid that getting those two former presidents on board will fool voters into thinking Biden is not the failed, demented, callous man he is.

The House Formally Invites President Biden to Testify in Impeachment Inquiry. House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer has sent a seven-page letter (below) to invite President Joe Biden to testify in the Republican impeachment inquiry. The letter is the latest, and best, reduction of the glaring contradictions in the President's past statements on his family's well-documented influence peddling operation. President Biden is not expected to testify. However, the media should be interested in his answering the questions presented by the Committee. It is now clear that the President lied during his campaign and during his presidency on his lack of knowledge of his son's business activities as well as his denial of any money gained from China. Yet, the White House responded, again, with mockery — a sense of impunity that only exists due to an enabling media.

The Editor says...
Remember, anything you say can and will be used against you. Years from now. Out of context. In a meme.

The Most Destructive Americans of the Last 70 years. [Scroll down] But wait... since this was written how can you omit Joe Biden? Although he doesn't know what he is responsible for, his being manipulated as president has done more 'outright' harm to this country that any other person[,] because it is a blatant spit in your face to America as a sovereign nation. He has destroyed energy independence, allowed millions across our southern border, sanctioned (or blessed) transgenderism, and mandated an experimental vaccine that has killed thousands, caused loss of livelihoods, and put our military in jeopardy in many ways.

Being non compos mentis, Biden is unfit to vote. Non compos mentis translates to, "of unsound mind." In some respects, we have an unsound electoral system: an idiot can run for our highest public office, but be unfit to vote for himself. Joe Biden is de facto unfit to vote. After Special Counsel Robert K. Hur's report in the Joe Biden classified documents case, it should be easy to establish that Biden is also de jure unfit to vote. Thirty nine states have laws that permit judges to disenfranchise people with varying stages of mental disorder, like idiocy. Since Biden is the village idiot in Wilmington, Delaware, let's look at their law that restricts the voting rights of people with mental disabilities:

Biden Losing Minorities. [Scroll down] No less acute is Joe's mental health. If you look, for example, at the pre-election debate between Trump and Biden in 2020, you can see that the latter at that time was almost able to express himself sensibly and explain his thoughts. If you look at him now, you can only see an old person who cannot do or say anything without prompting from his assistants. The president either "doesn't want to answer questions," or "technically shouldn't be here," or "oh, what I'm doing here" (just look at his hands at this point). Biden is not mentally healthy, no matter how much he claims otherwise. This is also evidenced by the large number of vacation weekends that he has taken since the beginning of his term (resting 40% of days — something an ordinary man cannot dream of), and the small number of public appearances, and the quality of his performances in these rare moments.

Jill Biden Compares Florida to Nazi Germany. Oh, so now were back to the nazi references? The communist left, including baby sitter and husband cheater Jill Biden can't seem to agree on one insult. Can't stick with "MAGA extremists", "Nazis" or "Russian owned" slurs they've used since 2015. Now, "Doctor" Jill Biden is comparing Florida to Nazi Germany or something. Of course she made these cracks in of all places, California at a fundraiser.

Biden Gets Heckled in Raleigh and Folds Like a Cheap Camera. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were in North Carolina on Tuesday, hoping to get some votes from a vital swing state by talking about healthcare. So far, the polls indicate that North Carolina is trending in favor of former President Donald Trump, not to mention all the other swing states. [Tweet] So Biden is trying to figure out some approach to overcome his own incoherence and failed policies and convince Americans to vote for him. On Tuesday, he tried to pitch Obamacare as a rationale. Of course, he left out all the falsehoods that Obama/Biden told us when they sold it: that you can keep your plan and keep your doctor. Oh, and your premiums will go down. But as he was talking about Obamacare, he was interrupted by anti-Israel activists. You can hear one of the activists yell out, "What about the healthcare in Gaza?" as Biden looks around in confusion. [Tweet with video clip]

It Sure Looks Likes Joe Biden Lied to the Special Counsel About His Political Origin Story. Did Joe Biden lie to then-Special Counsel Robert Hur about a long-proclaimed political origin story? According to a new report, it sure looks like it. In October of 2023, while being questioned by Hur about his illegal taking and storing of classified documents, the president decided to explain the one time he's "ever lied." Biden claimed that, as a young lawyer, he once defended a construction company against a worker [...]. As the tale goes, the president was so great at his job that he wrote a "memo" that got the case thrown out. He then supposedly felt so guilty that he turned to a life of public service, not for the power, fame, and fortune but to help the little guy. One can't help but laugh at Biden's proclamation that the above incident is the only time he's ever lied in his entire life. The president's career has been marked by the repetition of numerous falsehoods, to the point where there are too many to count. So what's the problem with this specific story? Per the Free Beacon's investigation, it "almost certainly" isn't true. [...] Biden has been telling that story for decades, and there's ample evidence he's been lying this entire time. The president appears to have inserted himself into a case his law firm lost while he was still in law school.

The Jimmy Carter-ization of Kamala Harris. Joe Biden's presidency is plagued by inflation, stagflation, and a Middle Eastern war, along with an Eastern European war and African decay. In addition, America suffers from an open border, drug problems, and accelerating crime that has turned entire cities, such as New York, into slums. Oh, and as in the 1970s, he loses wars. (By the way, we abandoned Vietnam before Carter's presidency, but Biden was one of the Democrat architects behind that abandonment.) [...] Today's embarrassed laughter comes from a president who repeatedly falls down the stairs, shakes hands with invisible people, must be told to get out of the rain, needs giant Easter Bunnies to escort him on the White House grounds, and compulsively sniffs children. Although, on second thought, none of that's very funny, is it?

The Untouchables: Bidens, Burisma and the Intelligence Community. Mike Benz is the founder and CEO of the Foundation For Freedom Online, which "Through educational reports, legal assistance, and public policy analysis concerning developing threats to digital liberties" seeks to "provide nonpartisan insights and assistance to all peoples taking a stand for freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and the free exchange of ideas online." Prior to FFO, Benz was "a former State Department official with responsibilities in formulating and negotiating US foreign policy on international communications and information technology matters." Benz's voice is an important one that communicates clearly about a vast amount of analysis and findings that he confirms with a deep and thorough inside perspective overlaid by technical expertise and diplomatic acumen. Specifically, Benz has made several recent videos in addition to appearances made with Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon and other conservative media figures.

Democrats lost one precious thing at Hunter influence peddling hearing. This week, Democrats appear to have finally drained away what remained of themselves and their party. For years, Democratic members and the media have demanded any evidence of the direct involvement or knowledge of President Joe Biden of the influence-peddling operation of his son, Hunter, and his brothers, James and Frank. In the hearing, witnesses testified under oath about specific meetings with Joe Biden discussing these foreign dealings and the family business interests. Bank records were introduced showing the transfers of millions going to Hunter and various Biden family members.

Desperate Biden Falsely Claims Trump 'Told Us to Inject Ourselves With Bleach'. Joe Biden has released a new campaign video with Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi. Though the video claims to have been recorded live, it hilariously features an insane number of jump cuts, suggesting it actually took multiple takes throughout the recording process to get Biden's performance on the mark. But, that aside, the video made it quite clear that Joe Biden is so desperate, that he's trying to rehash long-debunked accusations against Trump in the hopes of trying to turn his faltering campaign around. "This is the guy who doesn't care about science and reason," Biden claims in the video. "Remember, during the pandemic, Donald Trump told us to inject ourselves with bleach. He said there's nothing to worry about if you do that."

House Oversight Committee Witnesses Makes Clear: The Bidens Lied. The House Oversight Committee Hearing on "Influence Peddling: Examining Joe Biden's Abuse of Public Office" from Wednesday was dominated by key moments, especially when it comes to witness Tony Bobulinski. In his opening statement, Bobulinski testified that Hunter Biden perjured himself. He also mentioned repeatedly throughout the hearing how the Bidens lied. It wasn't just Hunter who perjured himself, Bobulinski said, but so did President Joe Biden's brother, Jim Biden, when it comes to involvement with Chinese-linked company CEFC. Bobulinski said he had "met with Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and Jim Biden at the Beverly Hilton in May 2017," which Hunter acknowledged but Jim denied took place. With passion, Bobulinski emphasized that "Hunter Biden, in his own transcribed interview, confirmed that that meeting took place," adding "Hunter confirmed his uncle perjured himself in front of this Committee."

Trump's Third Act has begun. The Democrats planned to cripple Trump financially so he couldn't spend as much on the campaign. Trump turned Leticia James into his best fundraiser. Lots of interesting developments lately on the topic of the 2020 election. The Simulation wants at least one of those fresh allegations to be a Kraken. Trump's legal maneuvering is likely to keep him eligible for the election. You can fantasize about a heroic Democrat such as Newsom swooping in and replacing Biden, but it's looking less likely every day. If it had always been the plan, it would have happened by now. Looks like Biden has to stay on the job to keep the Biden Crime Family out of jail. The predictable Democrat Summer Hoax will add some excitement, but it will be forgotten and debunked by November.

CIA blocked Hunter Biden's 'sugar brother' Kevin Morris from being interviewed by federal investigators, whistleblower claims. The CIA ordered tax investigators not to interview the 'sugar brother' who bailed out Hunter Biden with millions of dollars, a whistleblower has claimed. Kevin Morris loaned the president's son at least $5 million, bought his artwork, and made payments to Hunter's ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, as well as Lunden Roberts, the mother of his illegitimate four-year-old daughter. But federal officials investigating the first son's tax affairs were summoned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and told them that Morris was off-limits to them.

Joe Biden Gives Rambling Incoherent Speech to a Few Rows of People in Arizona. Joe Biden, the most popular president in US history who got 81 million votes in 2020, gave a rambling incoherent speech to a few rows of people at the Intel Ocotillo Campus in Chandler, Arizona. Just look at the setup for the most popular president ever who supposedly won Arizona in 2020: [Tweet] Biden on Wednesday announced an $8.5 billion investment with Intel for a major CHIPS and Science Act award. The truth is DEI — Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion — killed the CHIPS Act.

Tony Bobulinski Accuses Hunter Biden of Committing Perjury, and He Has Receipts. During an impeachment inquiry hearing on Wednesday, Tony Bobulinski testified regarding his previous business dealings with members of the Biden family. During the hearing, he accused Hunter Biden of committing perjury during his previous testimony, and he called Joe Biden "a serial liar." "You are presented with two narratives in this investigation," Bobulinski said in his opening statement, which was received by PJ Media. "A false one being pushed by Joe Biden, a serial liar and fabulist now under this impeachment investigation for public corruption; his brother Jim Biden, a 75-year-old man who cannot keep his lies straight, including under oath; and his son Hunter Biden, a chronic drug addict facing two indictments with twelve counts." Bobulinski continued, "You also have before you the truth, confirmed by multiple Biden family business partners over many years and backed up by mountains of irrefutable evidence, including text messages, emails, documents and recordings." He then accused Hunter Biden of lying throughout his testimony to Congress last month and committing "egregious" perjury, and he came with receipts.

Former Biden Business Partner Accuses Hunter, Jim of Lying under Oath about Chinese Dealings. In his opening statement before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, Hunter Biden's former business partner Tony Bobulinski publicly accused the first son and his uncle, Jim Biden, of lying under oath about the nature of their business dealings with Chinese conglomerate CEFC. Bobulinski is testifying on Wednesday about the Biden family's foreign business dealings, the subject of the House GOP's impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. He testified behind closed doors last month and vividly recalled meeting Hunter, Joe, and James Biden in May 2017 to discuss a proposed joint venture with CEFC. Bobulinski cited three examples of alleged perjury from Hunter Biden's sworn testimony last month, accusing Hunter of lying about: the timeline of his business relationship with CEFC, his father's interactions with his business associates, and the threatening text he sent a Chinese businessman in which he demanded payment and said he was sitting next to his father.

Hunter Biden's Business Partner Attacks Democrats Raskin and Goldman for Lying on Behalf of Biden Crime Family. Former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski blasted Representatives Jamie Raskin and Don Goldman today in his opening statement before the House Oversight Committee. Bobulinski accused Raskin and Goldman of lying to the American public in order to protect the Biden crime family. The House Oversight Committee is holding its second hearing today as part of its impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

The public humiliation of Joe Biden. Anyone who's ever known someone with senile dementia, can see that Joe Biden's elevator no longer goes to the top floor. At age 81, with a history of multiple brain aneurysms and surgeries, poor Joe's literally unravelling before our eyes. Look at him at his campaign stops. He can barely walk and needs sneaker soles the size of pickleball paddles to stay upright. He can no longer safely navigate the main steps to Air Force One, his handlers instead using a much shorter set of stairs typically reserved for his staff and low-level functionaries. His mouth hangs open, his pale blue eyes have that heartbreaking look of sheer panic, and he has no idea what to do with his hands, other than to mindlessly extend them in the hope that someone, anyone, will proffer a handshake. He now frequently gets lost, wandering around event stages and unsure where to stand or exit. He often turns in circles, waiting anxiously for someone to guide him. In a pinch, the Easter Bunny will do. Most days, his voice is shot. He whispers, coughs, mumbles, and swallows his words. He can no longer speak extemporaneously, much less handle a hostile interviewer or a debate.

Even More Dirt on the Bidens [has been] Dredged Up. We all know Hunter Biden did some shady stuff beyond hookers and crack, even if you don't think his father Joe was involved. Hate to burst the mainstream media news bubble you live in but more evidence mounts against the guy practically daily through House Republicans' impeachment inquiry. That mainstream media bubble keeping you in the dark probably didn't tell you that a strategy memo dredged up by the inquiry showed Hunter Biden was involved in an unsuccessful attempt by CEFC China Energy to buy Westinghouse, an America-based but Japanese-owned (by Toshiba) manufacturer of nuclear reactors. CEFC, which was in pretty deep with Chinese intelligence and was where Joe became Mr. "10% for the Big Guy," sought to buy Westinghouse through intermediaries such as Hunter associate James Gilliar's European Energy and Infrastructure Group because that's not suspicious at all.

The Mystery of Biden's New Boat Anchor Shoes Has Been Solved, and It's Worse Than Speculated. [Scroll down] The President of the United States has to wear giant-soled tennis shoes just to walk across the grass to board a helicopter. He's wearing them with suits, not workout clothes. During Inside Edition's report, they mention that the shoes are designed for "maximum stability." That's true, which speaks to just how bad things have gotten for Biden. If he were wearing them when he walked around his Delaware property, no one would bat an eye. The fact that he's having to wear these things in formal situations hits differently, though. The country is now at the place where it's current president can't walk properly without special shoes. What's next? A cane?

Biden's cyber-mess flying under the radar. The [State of the Union] speech itself was a clinic in Beltway gaslighting, with Biden making a number of questionable to outright dishonest claims related to job growth, inflation, and so many other issues of concern to Americans. On job growth, Biden's claim to have created "15 million new jobs" in three years fails to acknowledge the fact that about 12 million of those jobs can and should be classified as post-COVID "Return-to-Work" jobs that were actually created by his predecessor, President Donald Trump. On the topic of inflation, Biden actually told the joint session of Congress that the United States had achieved the "lowest in the world." But in reality, the United States is experiencing higher inflation than a number of industrialized nations and new reports show that the rate has actually ticked upward. Despite all the misleading chest-pounding during the address, one major issue that President Biden mostly stayed away from was America's crumbling cybersecurity infrastructure.

Jill Biden Is an Absolute Disgrace. Jill, who insists on being call "Dr. Jill" because that's what people lacking real accomplishments do, stands idly by as her husband is abused by handlers because she loves the trappings of the White House. An argument could be made that she's simply too stupid to notice what's happening, and that is possible, but it's unlikely. She sees him up close, and has for years. Joe has always been stupid, but the senility is new. It would be harder to miss than all of his groping, grabbing, nibbling, sniffing, rubbing and sexually assaulting over the years, all of which (except the last one) were regularly done in public. Jill didn't care. Jill doesn't care.

Hunter Biden witness may be self-serving but his China cover-up info is accurate. Fugitive Gal Luft, the "missing witness" from the Biden corruption investigation, has made fresh allegations about the president's family's China connections in an exclusive 50-page expose obtained by The [New York] Post. The former Israel Defense Force lieutenant colonel, who worked with the same Chinese energy company, CEFC, that paid Hunter and Jim Biden more than $8 million, skipped bail in Cyprus last year after being charged with attempted gun-running, acting as a foreign agent for China and lying to the FBI. While his attacks on federal prosecutors clearly are self-serving, his disclosures so far have proven accurate, and his ongoing conversations with former employees of CEFC while on the run have produced new information about how influential Americans on both sides of the aisle in Washington were recruited to serve China's imperialist Belt and Road Initiative. Hunter Biden, "the true sheikh of Washington," as one of his partners dubbed him, wasn't the only VIP cultivated by CEFC's enigmatic billionaire chairman Ye Jianming, who sprinkled expensive diamonds around Washington like candy.

The Biden Transcripts: Confusion, Evasion, and Outright Lies. The transcripts of President Biden's interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur have been released in anticipation of Hur's testimony today before the House Judiciary Committee. The interviews cover two days: October 8, 2023 and the October 9, 2023. And already, the media has seized upon a line of attack against Hur: that Biden wasn't confused about the year of his son's death, that Biden was lucid and clear and that Hur misrepresented Biden's statements and his state of mind. But that isn't the truth. The transcripts, in fact, show Biden struggling with basic facts. The year his son Beau died. The year he left office. The year Trump was elected. Here's a short excerpt illustrating all these issues: [...] In a span of two pages of transcripts, Biden finds himself forgetting key dates and needing the assistance of his lawyers to make it through the interview. But that's not the only example.

Hunter Biden's federal gun trial set for June 3: President's son faces up to 25 years in prison. A federal judge ruled that Hunter Biden will face a trial on federal gun charges on June 3 in Delaware. The president's son, 54, has pleaded not guilty to three felony charges related to him lying about his drug use when purchasing a gun in 2018. He faces up to 25 years in prison if he is convicted after the trial that could last up to nine days. His gun trial on June 3 comes immediately for a separate trial in a case brought by Special Counsel David Weiss on nine tax charges set for June 20 in California.

The Editor says...
Hunter Biden will never go to prison, for one reason or another. Joe Biden certainly won't. Neither will Hillary Clinton. Neither will Anthony Fauci.

Special Counsel confirms president wanted to keep documents for 'pride and money'. Former special counsel Robert Hur revealed in Capitol Hill testimony that Biden 'willfully' retained classified materials as a private citizen and gave them to Mark Zwonitzer — the ghost writer of his $8 million book — who later tried to destroy them. Hur arrived on Capitol Hill to offer insight into his devastating classified documents report that painted Biden as 'elderly' and 'forgetful' and with 'diminished faculties,' but did not recommend charges for the president. He pushed back on Democrats who claimed his report cleared Biden of any wrongdoing, saying it 'did not exonerate' the president.

Hur Transcript Released: Things Just Got a Lot Worse for Joe Biden. Last month, the Hur report found that Joe Biden willfully retained, mishandled, and disclosed classified information but determined that he was essentially too senile to stand trial. According to the report, Biden struggled to remember details, and he couldn't remember when his son Beau died. Joe Biden angrily defended his memory in his unplanned address and attacked Special Counsel Robert Hur for bringing up Beau during his interview during the investigation, which managed to make things worse for him. [...] Joe Biden didn't even remember what year Donald Trump was elected president. Two people then jumped in to correct Biden by saying it was 2016.

Democrats Are Seething After Robert Hur's Testimony, and the Highlights Are Brutal for Joe Biden. Congressional testimonies often don't live up to the hype, but Robert Hur's trip to Capitol Hill on Tuesday was everything Republicans were hoping it would be. The now-former special counsel was in charge of investigating Joe Biden's theft and mishandling of classified documents, some of which were found unsecured in his garage. That led to a report from Hur that was lambasted by Democrats for supposedly overstepping its bounds. What was the issue? It included ample evidence of the current president's senility, including significant memory loss. But if Democrats were hoping to beat back some of the narratives produced by Hur's accurate portrayal of the facts, they quickly found out he wasn't there to play along with their gambit.

Turley: Democrats 'Bordered on Delusional' While Questioning Special Counsel Hur. Special Counsel Robert Hur's testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday on his report about Joe Biden's willful retention of classified documents and other sensitive material lived up to the "pre-game" hype that many expected. While Republicans continued to stress the two-tiered justice system in the case of Biden's classified documents vs. those of Donald Trump, Democrats continually tried to put words in Hur's mouth that neither he nor his report said. So how bad were the Democrats? George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley said the Democrats' questioning of Hur "seemed almost to border on the delusional."

'I did not exonerate him': Robert Hur sets Dem rep straight on conclusion of report. Special counsel Robert Hur corrected Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal at a Tuesday hearing when she said his report exonerated President Joe Biden for his handling of classified documents. Hur issued his report in February on Biden's handling of classified documents, deciding not to pursue charges against the president because he would be unlikely to get a conviction. Jayapal asserted Hur's report exonerated Biden, but the special counsel disputed her statement. [Video clip] "This lengthy, expensive, and independent investigation resulted in a complete exoneration of President Joe Biden," Jayapal said. "For every document you discussed in your report, you found insufficient evidence that the president violated any laws about possession or retention of classified materials." "[Exoneration] is not a word that I used in the report," Hur asserted. "And that's not part of my task as a prosecutor." Jayapal talked over Hur as he elaborated on his answer. "You exonerated him," she said. "I did not exonerate him," Hur responded. "That word does not appear in the report, congresswoman."

Byron Donalds Explains the Most Convincing Pieces of Evidence Showing Biden Family Influence-Peddling. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) appeared on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo to explain the most serious evidence against the Biden Crime Family and their attempts to profit off Joe Biden's name and official position. [Transcript] He also spoke about the two-tiered justice system in today's America, where Biden got a free pass despite having piles of classified documents in his garage and other locations: [Tweet]

An Aging Puppet. While not all dementia or Alzheimer's patients show increased aggression or angry behavior, many of them do. They may curse, hurl insults, or yell at you. Short of losing their sanity, the caregiver becomes a kind of expert diplomat, taking note of triggers that might warn of the coming combative behavior. Sometimes there are no clues, just rage. [...] We also watched in disbelief as the executive branch attacked the judicial branch, with President Biden "having an invective against the Supreme Court justices" sitting directly in front of him in the chamber. I've never seen anything like it; it was like watching someone sucker-punch the Constitution. Meanwhile, the mainstream media was declaring that the president "delivered perhaps the best speech of his life last night; he may have also changed the race itself." I agree he changed the race all right, but not the way they're thinking.

The White House Tried to Remove Mentions of Biden's Poor Memory from the Hur Report. Special Counsel Robert Hur is expected to testify before congress tomorrow, the first time he will have spoken publicly since the release of his report. In anticipation of that moment, the Washington Post published a lengthy story about tensions between the White House and the Justice Department. The gist of the article is simple. The White House is angry about the Hur report's discussion of Joe Biden's poor memory and also about the ongoing investigation of Hunter Biden. Naturally all of these complaints come from unnamed White House sources. It doesn't matter, because they are offering the same tired talking points you've heard many times before. What I found far more interesting was the list of ways in which the White House had tried and failed to change the report before it was made public. When the White House first got the finished reported they asked Hur to remove references to Biden's memory. Hur refused: [...]

The State of the President. It was inevitable that the corporate media would applaud President Biden's State of the Union address if he had the vitality to stand upright for two hours and the vision to read a teleprompter. For ordinary voters who aren't paid to praise him, Biden's performance last Thursday night probably confirmed many of their fears about leaving him in office for another term. This, for example, is how he described the current state of our domestic politics: "Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault here at home as they are today." If your uncle said that during a family dinner everyone would agree that another trip to rehab was in order. Biden's speech was full of similarly crazy claims. Predictably, he brought up the fabled Jan. 6 riot and claimed, "Insurrectionists stormed this very Capitol and placed a dagger at the throat of American democracy." Never mind that no one involved was ever charged with insurrection. Ignore the polls showing that most Americans saw the event simply as "a protest that went too far."

They won't replace Biden. The good news is that after his SOTU, it appears Biden is solidly on the ticket for 2024. Breitbart reports that "President Joe Biden's reelection campaign raised a record-breaking $10 million in the day following his State of the Union speech on Thursday, his team told NBC News." Many have posited that due to his unpopularity and failing in the polls, he would likely be replaced this year by Newsom, Whitmer, or even Michelle Obama. If that happened, we'd have more to worry about against a candidate that might just be electable by even moderate Democrat standards. However, with this kind of "record-breaking" fundraising just based on his SOTU performance, those prospects are getting dimmer.

Special Counsel Dave Weiss Hits Back at Hunter Biden, Accuses Him of Lying to the Court. Special Counsel Dave Weiss accused Hunter Biden of lying to the Court in a reply to his motion to dismiss his charges in California. The Justice Department in December filed new criminal charges against Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden was hit with a 9-count indictment filed in the Central District of California: Tax evasion, failure to file/pay taxes, and false/fraudulent tax return. The new indictment was handed down by Special Counsel David Weiss after a sweetheart plea deal on tax charges fell apart over the summer.

Joe Biden Marks Ramadan with Sympathies for Muslims and Their 'Immense Pain'. President Joe Biden marked the beginning of Ramadan by issuing a statement recognizing the "moment of immense pain" for many Muslim Americans while affirming his efforts to deliver humanitarian aid into Gaza. Biden, who says he is pushing to establish a truce in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, wrote in the statement Sunday evening: ["]Tonight — as the new crescent moon marks the beginning of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan — Jill and I extend our best wishes and prayers to Muslims across our country and around the world. The sacred month is a time for reflection and renewal. This year, it comes at a moment of immense pain. The war in Gaza has inflicted terrible suffering on the Palestinian people.["]

Obama's Biden Conundrum. By March 20, 2024, Donald Trump will have amassed sufficient Republican delegates to clinch the Republican presidential nomination. On the same date, Joe Biden will have accumulated the delegates required to secure the Democrat nomination. Thirty-three weeks before the election, the nominating process will theoretically be concluded. However, Joe Biden will be the oldest presidential nominee in American history (he will be 82 in November) and suffering from noticeably accelerating mental and physical disabilities. If over the next seven months he were to die, or have a debilitating stroke or, in a far more likely scenario, is forced by the party hierarchy (i.e., Barack Obama) to drop out of the race due to his age, escalating infirmities and persistent unpopularity, the process to replace him is relatively straightforward. The only considerations will be when Biden exits the race and the timeframe necessary to print ballots. However, choosing someone to replace him is a potential minefield only Barack Obama can navigate.

Does a Bellicose Biden want War? Joe opened his remarks firing shots across Putin's bow and the bows of homegrown deplorables — you know, the rabble of rural Whites who dare own bibles and guns, and Christian "nationalists," who share the founders' awful conviction that our rights derive from God, not man. Flippin' insurrectionists, man! Biden's rhetoric was part — but only part — gamesmanship. His handlers need to rev-up chunks of the party's base, including spouseless females, while luring back menopausal suburban women. After eight years of hysterics and hate, rank-in-file hysterics and haters are a tad exhausted. They aren't showing enough intensity about old Joe's reelection bid. So, time to fearmonger and rattle sabers. For the establishment — which Democrat, Inc., is a subsidiary — enemies are foreign and domestic, Putin and flyover denizens. Put those together and Joe sounded like elites hanker for more than war. They hanker for Armageddon — if all else fails.

Special Counsel Robert Hur Is No Longer a DOJ Employee, Will Testify Before Congress As a Private Citizen. There are multiple reports Monday night that Special Counsel Robert Hur, who investigated Joe Biden's handling of classified documents, is no longer a Department of Justice employee and will be testifying at a House Judiciary Committee hearing as a private citizen. The Independent, known as a reliable lefty rag, published a story based on anonymous sources claiming that Hur "arranged his departure from the Department of Justice to be official as of Monday 11 March," specifically so he would not be "bound by the ethical guidelines which govern the behaviour of federal prosecutors" when testifying. According to the story, Hur has also "surrounded himself with Republican partisans and notorious figures linked to former president Donald Trump" in preparation for the testimony.

Transcript from documents probe contradicts Biden's account of exchange with Hur over son's death. A transcript of President Joe Biden's interview with the special counsel who investigated his handling of classified information contradicts the president's characterization of an exchange about the death of his son, Beau Biden, from brain cancer. "There's even a reference that I don't remember when my son died," a visibly irate Biden told reporters hours after special counsel Robert Hur's report was made public last month. "How [...] dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself: It wasn't any of their [...] business." But according to an ABC News review of the transcript, it was Biden, not Hur, who first invoked his son's death — and the president indeed struggled to recall the exact year it occurred.

The moral failure of Biden's State of the Union address. In an age in which partisanship is greater than ever, opinions about the quality of the annual report by the president to the Congress — mandated by the U.S. Constitution — depends entirely on whether the listener shares the party affiliation of the person who lives in the White House. That means that Democrats regarded President Joe Biden's State of the Union address as feisty, truthful and showed that he was not too old to serve and exactly what the country needed to hear. Republicans thought of it as angry, divisive, full of lies and wondered whether the 81-year-old had relied on some artificial help to get through the evening while speaking at a speed that was oddly faster than his usual pace.

Why would anyone vote for Biden? Let's look at some of the damage he has done since he took the oath of office on January 20, 2021. He dismantled the border security policies that President Trump put in place and ended the border wall construction. We now have about 9 million more illegal aliens disseminated across our country. We haven't even begun to feel the existential pain of that invasion. Under Trump's leadership, in 2018, the U.S. surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world's largest producer of crude oil. On Biden's first day in office, he shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, eliminating 11,000 well-paying jobs, and handed energy supremacy to our foreign enemies. [...] If Biden were the CEO of a major company and had drastically reduced the establishment's position in the corporate world, not only would he not have the audacity to expect re-election, but he'd certainly be given the boot before he could do any more harm.

Need More Proof Biden Was Drugged for the State of the Union? A great deal hinged on Joe Biden's performance during Thursday evening's State of the Union address. The White House knew more than anything that Biden had to dispel concerns regarding his age and cognitive decline. [...] One expert says that Biden's performance featured the telltale signs of being medicated. Dr. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist specializing in elderly dementia patients, pointed out that Biden's increased speed and volume during the address, contrary to his usual slow and stumbling demeanor, could be indicative of stimulant usage, potentially Adderall or another amphetamine. "[Adderall]'s given to focus someone's attention so if you give it to someone who is not focused and give it to them ahead of a big event like the State of the Union, it will improve their focus," Lieberman told the Washington Times. "But it's treating the symptoms rather than boosting the brain and it's addictive so it's dangerous." As compelling and convincing as Lieberman's theory is, there's actually more evidence Biden was not his usual self during the State of the Union.

The Fate of the Union. The Kid from Scranton's most memorably mendacious line got front-loaded, so as not to be lost on the watching millions already nauseated by "JB's" pre-speech triumphal journey from the entrance down the aisle through the mob of his elected admirers clamoring for selfies: "Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault here at home as they are today," the president squawked. True dat. The part he left out was that said assault emanates entirely from the very government he pretends to head.

Joe Biden and the war on truth. I had been told that Joe Biden, the president of the United States, would be delivering the 2024 State of the Union Address on Thursday, March 7. As it happened, he didn't. Instead, he indulged in a surreal, medically enhanced species of primal scream therapy. This was laced with liberal dollops of what Freudians call "projection," accusing his political opponents of stifling democracy when everyone outside the orbit of the state propaganda machine knows that the surveillance apparatus over which Biden presides — ex officio, at least — is a self-perpetuating machine for extinguishing democracy and its prime nutrient, frank commitment to the truth. It was a truly bizarre performance in which the angry, semi-coherent maunderings of an angry old man again and again collided with the irrefragable wall of mundane, historical fact. The collision was dissonant. The compliant, poodle media obviously got the memo that the speech was to be described as "fiery." I hope that the PR genius who came up with that adjective as a synonym for "partisan incontinent hectoring" gets a bonus. He deserves one. But the rest of the world was appalled by the spectacle.

An AI-generated speech shouted at the teleprompter by an angry old man on amphetamines. This week was the ridiculous annual spectacle where the president is supposed to tell us the state of our so-called union, as if we don't already know. That's a particularly appropriate topic for the current president who was elected on the promise that he would be a "uniter, not divider" who would bring normalcy and decency back to the office. [...] Given that, forget about the state of the union. Consider the state of the presidency. When the main mission of the most important speech of the president's long career is to show he's not asleep, his state is not good. He did accomplish that limited mission of showing he wasn't asleep. The guy shouted at the teleprompter for over an hour. He wasn't just sleep-talking, and it wasn't just the meds doing the talking. No, he was sincerely angry at that teleprompter. And very clearly woke. High as a kite, but woke. Highly woke, and wickedly, wokedly high. His anger at the teleprompter was a natural consequence of the years of miscommunications between the two. The teleprompter tells him to say something, and he often says something quite different.

Joe Biden's Upper Wears Off, Leading to an Absolutely Disastrous Appearance in PA. Many have speculated that Joe Biden was hopped up on something during Thursday's State of the Union. Whatever stimulation he received before taking the podium, it wasn't enough to stop him from calling Laken Riley by the wrong name and proclaiming that women have "electrical power," among other flubs. Somehow, things managed to get much worse on Friday. After an ill-advised impromptu presser on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews, the president traveled to Pennsylvania for a campaign rally. Let's just say the upper wore off, leading to perhaps his most senile speech yet. [Tweet with video clip] Watching that, all I can do is let out a long, slow sigh. This guy is the President of the United States, and he doesn't even know what office he's running for.

Was Biden Drugged for the State of the Union? One Expert Thinks So. Joe Biden's fiery but mostly peaceful State of the Union address prompted many to suggest that he had been drugged before the speech to ensure an energetic performance. I don't doubt that many wags made those comments in jest, but it may actually be the truth. A psychiatrist who specializes in elderly dementia patients told the Washington Times that Biden displayed behaviors indicative of stimulant usage to conceal cognitive decline during his State of the Union address on Thursday. While Democrats were rushing to claim that his performance proved that he was physically and mentally capable of handling the presidency, Dr. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist based in Beverly Hills, Calif., noted that Biden's speed and volume during the speech could have been a sign that he was on Adderall or another amphetamine. "If you look at how Joe Biden usually is — slow and stumbling — compared to how he was during the State of the Union — fiery and angry — these are signs that are typical for someone taking Adderall or any amphetamine," Lieberman told the paper.

Biden's SOTU address was, quite simply, horrible. Joe Biden's State of the Union ("SOTU") was unlike anything I've seen before, and I started watching these speeches in the mid-1980s. No president has ever been so maniacally wired, periodically incoherent, or viciously angry. That was style. The substance was worse. Biden opened by calling Trump a Nazi, shifted to Ukraine, promised to stamp out "insurrections," and attacked Republicans — and then ended by calling for non-partisanship and comity. Throughout it all, he lied and then lied some more. This was a Dark Brandon campaign speech, not an SOTU. If you didn't watch Biden's SOTU, count yourself lucky. It was a deeply disturbing experience. [...] Joe Biden was an angry Grandpa Simpson, with the volume cranked up and the speed out of control. This was the kind of guy who, in a rage, would readily push the red button. That alone was unnerving, demonstrating that we have a maniac in office — and, worse, his rage is against the American people. Biden didn't open by speaking to Americans about our wonderful country. He began by saying that America is facing a dystopian moment because Donald Trump is effectively Hitler, a point he returned to in an ad-lib during the speech.

Why Can't Joe Biden Understand the Difference Between Leadership and Anger and Yelling? During more than three years of his presidency, Joe Biden has become known as much for his bursts of anger and yelling as for his serial lying and concocting mumbling words that make zero sense. [...] There's a strong possibility that Biden can't help it. Or that he now thinks his anger and yelling demonstrate leadership. They don't. While I'm neither excusing nor justifying Biden's SOTU behavior, I'm suggesting that he convincingly demonstrated on Thursday that he suffers from dementia.

Biden Lied 30 Times During The State Of The Union. President Biden has been known to tell some pretty outrageous lies throughout his political career. So, it came as no surprise when Ol' Sleepy Joe spewed out more than a few whoppers during his State of the Union address on Thursday. From foreign policy to the economy, there was almost no subject in which the president didn't lie to the American people. In case you missed his dumpster fire speech, here's the definitive list of Biden's biggest SOTU falsehoods.

Response to Biden's State of the Union Address: His Worst Speech Ever? Biden, who was almost a half hour late, forgot to allow the Speaker of the House to introduce him, as is customary. [...] Had he been reminded (instructed?) to allow the speaker to introduce him? If not, why not? Or did he simply forget? It was an inauspicious beginning to a dreadful speech. [...] How was Biden supposed to show that he was not the failing old man, slurring his words, and falling upstairs that people have seen on television now for months on end? To put it otherwise, what do you do to look normal when you're not normal? You compensate. But in doing so, there is a danger that you overcompensate. And that's just what Biden did last night. Biden was strident for almost the entire speech, with an occasional whisper (as is his custom). He sounded like an angry old man, yelling at people he didn't like, telling them to get off his lawn or keep their dirty hands off his 1967 Chevrolet Corvette. It's okay, when giving a speech, to raise your voice occasionally, to make a point, or to scold those who are evil. But to shout for an entire speech is not just weird; it has precisely the opposite effect of the one that Biden's team must have intended. Biden came across, not as a strong, determined leader, but as a grumpy old man. And that, sadly, is perhaps what Joe Biden has become.

Tucker Carlson Reacts to Joe Biden Shouting Incoherent Gibberish at the State of the Union. There really isn't much you can say about what was witnessed last night in the People's House. Joe Biden shouting at America for an hour while muttering something about snickers bars, snack food and the need to send billions of dollars to Ukraine was essentially the gist. Following one of the most incoherent teleprompter reads in the history of presidential politics, one can only imagine how Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin were briefed on what took place in Washington DC at 9:00pm. Suffice to say, no sleep was lost amid the global community of leaders who smile as the USA influence collapses. What was even more goofy, was the pretending amid the corporate media that Joe Biden said stuff that was discernable and/or potentially fitting the office of the executive. The various news agencies each described the color of the emperor's new coat as if it actually existed.

This was a terrible speech terribly delivered. It's a good thing no drug test was required before the address. Biden sounded hopped up. He spoke too fast. He slurred his words. He was frequently difficult to understand. He shouted a variety of clichés and shibboleths as though we might otherwise miss their depth and meaning. The disparity between the shibboleths and the shouting was almost funny. Biden sounded like a 45 rpm record playing at 78. It was an old record — it had scratches at several places that caused it to skip the groove.

Biden's Handlers Really Overshot His SOTU Uppers Dosage. [Scroll down] Biden's chronic slurring doesn't become any more intelligible with amplification. While it's true that absurdism is integral to my brand of political opinion writing, I never wander far from the truth. Some people may think I'm talking about "uppers" simply because I like to be merciless when writing about Joe Biden. I would remind everyone that I am an entertainer from the 1980s, so I have more than a passing familiarity with what people on high-end stimulants look and act like. POTUS was straight-up wired last night. Squinting, angry, and loud Teleprompter Biden will no doubt be met with rave reviews from the usual suspects for this SOTU speech. An old man yelling might not have the appeal out in the hinterlands that they think it will, however. Older people who are losing it upstairs get angry and yell a lot, too, after all. This is a limited-use strategy for Biden's puppet masters, of course. He's probably going to be napping until Easter.

Joe Biden's State of the Union Was the Most Unhinged and Angry in History. In completely unsurprising fashion, Joe Biden arrived 20 minutes late for his own State of the Union on Thursday. Once he finally took the podium, it became clear that he shouldn't have shown up at all. Perhaps it was a screw-up on the dosage by his drug cocktail team, but Biden spent the first half hour of the speech screaming uncontrollably, while intermittently coughing and slurring his words. It was surreal and by far, the most unhinged and angriest State of the Union in history. There will no doubt be headlines proclaiming otherwise, and they will be false. [Tweet with video clip] There were also plenty of instances of the president's senility showing through. In the early part of the speech, Biden brought up January 6th and proceeded to completely flub two of his big zingers. [Two tweets with video clips] The president then threatened the Supreme Court, albeit in the most mentally deficient way possible, shouting that "women are not without electrical power." [Tweet with video clip]

Biden took a recovering economy and intentionally wrecked it.
Biden Falsely Says He Inherited An Economy on Brink of Collapse. Claim: Biden claimed that the U.S. economy was on the brink of disaster when he took office. "I inherited an economy that was on the brink. Now our economy is the envy of the world!" Biden said. Verdict: False. President Biden inherited an economy that was strongly rebounding from the pandemic. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the economy grew at an annual rate of 4.3 percent. In the prior quarter, it had grown at an annual rate of 33.1 percent, as the economy whipsawed from lockdown to reopening. As Biden took office, in the first quarter of 2021, the economy was growing at a 5.2 percent annual rate. (Until the Department of Commerce revised its calculations last fall, this was reported as an annual rate of 6.3 percent.)

Biden makes it clear whose side he's on.
Biden to announce US military-led mission to build port on Gaza coast to boost aid. President Biden will announce during his State of the Union address Thursday that he's directing the U.S. military to lead the construction of a port along the coast of Gaza on the Mediterranean Sea to boost the amount of aid getting to Palestinian civilians. "We know the aid flowing into Gaza is nowhere near enough and nowhere near fast enough. The president will make clear again this evening that we all need to do more, and the United States is doing more," a senior administration official said on a call with reporters. The port would be able to receive large ships that can bring in food, water, medicine and other supplies into Gaza, which has been under fire for months as Israeli forces carry out shellings and military operations in response to Hamas's attacks last October.

DOJ Freaked Out After Matt Gaetz Brought Up Hunter's Laptop During Hearing. Employees at the Department of Justice (DOJ) sent an email in March 2022 regarding Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz's line of questioning to the assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI's) cyber division about Hunter Biden's laptop, according to documents uploaded by the DOJ. During the March 2022 hearing, Gaetz entered Hunter Biden's laptop into the Congressional record and pressed the FBI on the location of Hunter Biden's laptop, to which he did not get an answer. Gaetz also asked if the Biden family had been compromised and if anyone at the FBI knew where the laptop was located.

Biden's biggest SOTU obstacles. The obstacle course facing President Biden this week during Thursday's belated State of the Union address presents a formidable challenge. It may prove difficult for the 81-year-old president to navigate. Expectations could not be lower. Biden faces the usual challenges of exaggerating his paltry policy wins, justifying his substantial missteps and attacking his political opponents. But those questions may be overshadowed by more basic ones. Can he make it from start to finish gaffe-free? Will we be able to understand his words? Will this be one of the shortest addresses ever? Will he even be able to find his way off the stage?

The Editor says...
Will he arrive 45 minutes late? Will he trip and fall on his way into the room? Will he drift onto an anecdotal rabbit trail? Will he recount an episode in his life that obviously didn't happen? Will he be able to read the teleprompter with his eyes fully dilated? Will he divulge something he's not supposed to mention? Or will he stop in mid-sentence to stare into space; and if that happens, how many seconds will elapse before somebody intervenes?

Confused-looking Biden says he'll 'get in trouble' for answering reporters' questions. A confused-looking President Biden once again admitted he'd get in "trouble" for taking questions at a press briefing Tuesday — just hours after his press secretary staunchly defended his mental acuity. The 81-year-old commander-in-chief started uttering the familiar yet bewildering refrain before he even lifted the microphone off the table at the launch of a task force aimed at lowering costs for American families. "I have a lot of questions. I better not start the questions. I'll get in trouble," Biden mumbled, garnering a few laughs from the audience. He delivered a ragged exhale into the mic before placing it back down and stared blankly ahead with his mouth agape, ignoring some of the reporters' last-ditch attempts to squeeze in a final question as they were leaving.

The Editor says...
Not only is this man hopelessly senile, he doesn't understand who he is. He doesn't understand that he is in charge, otherwise he wouldn't say such things. On the other hand, maybe he understands that somebody else is in charge, and it's someone whose scolding castigation Mr. Biden genuinely dreads.

Is the Establishment Trying to Push Biden Out? There's much evidence to support the argument that Obama's people are working hard to push Biden out of the race. That's because Obama's people are doing their best to push Biden out of the race. David Axelrod has been sounding the alarm about Biden's electoral prospects for months, and he hasn't been alone in the effort. [...] It's not that Trump has suddenly gotten popular with voters; the fact is that voters doubt that Biden is up to being President. In other words, this election is about Joe Biden, when the Biden camp wants all the focus to be on Donald Trump. That is one of many reasons that all these legal attacks are coming in 2024, not 2021. They want people focused on all things Trump. That strategy is failing miserably, as is typical in Biden's strategies.

Obama's Third Term — Going For Four. The United States of America has become the laughingstock of the world, with Joe Biden playing the role of our "president" in this macabre stage production put on by the Luciferian Globalists. Indeed, one foreign news agency recently ran a headline referring to Biden as "President Mumblebub." He's taken a lot of criticism for his actions — and inactions — as the so-called "leader" of the free world. Since he took office, we've seen record-breaking deficit spending, a collapse of our nation's infrastructure, the destruction of our major cities, record homelessness and drug use, the abandonment of our national borders — not to mention the highly-orchestrated and brilliantly-executed invasion of our nation by foreign enemies. Over the past three years, we've also endured the "transgendering' of our military, the weaponization of our so-called "justice system," the persecution of political opponents, and unbridled government tyranny. Some say Biden is incompetent, and I would have to agree. The fact that Biden is suffering from dementia is obvious, as he garbles his words when speaking, cannot remember how or when his son, Beau, died, cannot remember the names of countries or world leaders, and shakes hands with the air as he wanders around the stage after speaking, until one of his handlers gathers him up and leads him away.

Hunter Biden's Chinese legal 'client' threatens to sue unless first son pays back $1 million. Hunter Biden was paid $1 million by Chinese firm CEFC to act as attorney for its employee, Dr. Patrick Ho, but now Ho is threatening to sue the first son within seven days unless he gets the money back — because he claims Hunter did no legal work for him. Ho sent a legal letter to Hunter last week requesting that their attorney-client agreement be terminated immediately and threatening legal action unless he receives a detailed list of services provided by Hunter and reimbursement for the unused funds, as laid out in the 2017 contract. Ho's letter, sent by Hong Kong law firm Huen & Partners to Hunter's attorney Abbe Lowell in Washington, DC, set a deadline of seven days for the repayment of any remaining funds. "Patrick says he paid him, and that Hunter never did anything for him," a friend of Ho's told The [New York] Post, "and that according to the contract, the money should be reimbursed."

Biden Business Associate Jason Galanis Says Hunter Used Joe To Get Deals 'Across The Finish Line'. Former Biden family business associate Jason Galanis told lawmakers last month that Joe Biden was used repeatedly to get deals "across the finish line." On Monday, the House Oversight Committee released the transcript of lawmakers' interview with Jason Galanis, who was a colleague of Hunter Biden and Devon Archer between 2012 and 2015. Their goal, Galanis said, "was to make billions, not millions." Access to Vice President Biden, according to House testimony, was one of their primary products sold to foreign businessmen. "Our business included the acquisition of an 85-year-old Wall Street firm, Burnham and Company, the $1.5 billion surviving division of Drexel, Burnham, Lambert, and, combining that with other businesses in insurance and wealth management we owned and acquired," Galanis explained. "Burnham was the focal point for integrating a, quote, Biden family office into a large-scale financial company with international influence." Hunter Biden and Devon Archer, Galanis said, relied on Biden, then vice president, to grow their business.

How To Destroy the American Legal System. By either listening to testimonies or reading transcripts of the various 2024 Trump election-related court cases and testimonies, what we are left with is an epidemic of lies. [For example,] Hunter Biden's current testimonies are contradicted by his own text messages, bank records, phone records, and testimonies of some of his associates. Anytime he is trapped in inconsistencies, he falls back on his addiction. Translated, that means we are sometimes supposed to believe he is a Yale-trained lawyer, experienced corporate grandee, and skilled negotiator, and thus carefully avoided involving his father in the family's various schemes. And then again, sometimes when the evidence is damning and overwhelming, he simply cannot remember, or claims he was addled at the time in question due to his medical "addiction".

Chinese Doctor Who Paid Hunter Biden a Million Dollars for 'Legal Services' Wants Refund. Remember that guy Hunter Biden referred to [...] on a recording in 2018? That guy was Dr. Patrick Ho, although it's not clear exactly what his role with China was. According to Ho, CEFC paid Hunter Biden a million dollars to act as his attorney back in 2017. But now according to a new report, Ho just sent a legal letter to Hunter threatening to sue him if he doesn't give the money back, because Ho says he didn't get any legal work for the money.

Impeachment Bombshell: James Biden Confirms that Joe Biden Received $40K From China. During his testimony in the impeachment inquiry, James Biden admitted that a Chinese government-linked company, CEFC China Energy, funded a $40,000 check that went to Joe Biden in 2017. James Biden claimed that he did not believe that CEFC China Energy was under the control of the CCP. He clarified, stating, "I just misspoke" about a previous statement he made during a 2022 IRS interview. In that interview, James had indicated that his nephew Hunter was collaborating with him and had characterized CEFC chairman Ye Jianming as a "protégé" of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Biden New Comments on Meeting With Hunter Associates Are Incredible, Given Testimony of Hunter, Others. Joe Biden was heading out to Marine One to go to Camp David on Friday afternoon for yet another vacation. It also looked like he had other family members going with him. But Biden can't seem to tell the truth or keep his stories straight from one minute to the next, when it comes to the question of him and his son Hunter's business partners. For years, he has told us he never spoke to his son about his business. Then when the pictures of Joe meeting with Hunter's various business associates started dropping and some told their stories, Joe Biden's story was finally adjusted to him saying that he never was "in business" with his son. It was a big shift that they pretended had always been his position, in an Orwellian spin. Hunter Biden gave his deposition behind closed doors on Thursday, and the transcript [ws published] on Friday. Among the things that Hunter admitted was that Joe Biden had dined with some of Hunter's associates at the Cafe Milano. There are also pictures of Joe Biden with some of those associates.

Hunter admits Joe Biden's the 'big guy' at long last — but we knew all along. For years, Hunter Biden and his associates have denied that the "big guy" mentioned in an email about one of the first son's shady deals was Joe Biden, yet now Hunter's admitted it in a congressional deposition — amid whining and crying about the political persecution he's experiencing. Yes, he's tried to wave it away, claiming that the email from business partner James Gilliar proposing a 10% stake for Joe was merely a "pie-in-the-sky idea." Yes, he's offered the lame defense that if only he had known, "I would have picked up the phone and said, 'You're out of your mind.'"

Was there ever any doubt?
After years of denials, Hunter Biden finally acknowledged Joe was 'the big guy' in $5M China deal. At long last, first son Hunter Biden affirmed during his Wednesday impeachment inquiry deposition that his father, Joe, was "the big guy" referenced in an email about a business deal with a Chinese state-linked energy firm that yielded millions for Biden family members and other associates, more than three years after The [New York] Post broke the story — but rejected the notion that the president was ever penciled in for a 10% stake. The deposition represents the first time the 54-year-old Hunter has admitted that his former business partner James Gilliar was referring to Joe Biden when he raised the prospect on May 13, 2017, of the first son holding a 10% stake in the lucrative joint venture involving CEFC China Energy "for the big guy." "I truly don't know what [...] that James was talking about," the first son said when asked about the reference, according to a transcript released Thursday.

Why the Democrats Can't Replace Biden. After the release of Special Counsel Kennth Hur's report on Joe Biden's mishandling classified documents and then the President's performance several hours later in his hastily convened press conference, a number of Democrats fleetingly expressed misgivings about the head of their party's reelection prospects next November. Let's face it — if your Grandpa likewise raved and ranted after his memory and mental acuity had been called into question, you would seriously start to consider taking away his car keys. Adding to the Dems electoral hyper-anxiety is the fact that the President's forgetfulness and confused ramblings won't ameliorate on the hustings over the next eight months — they can only worsen.

Biden's Stiff Gait as He Shuffles Along Desolate Stretch of Texas Border Shocks the Public. Joe Biden arrived in Brownsville, Texas on Thursday for a drive-by photo-op border visit. Brownsville is a desolate stretch with virtually no illegal alien invasion compared to other hot spots such as El Paso and Eagle Pass. Trump supporters protested Biden's arrival. [Tweet with video clip]

Biden Behind Closed Doors: Not Without His Notecards! On Wednesday, former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy revealed something that those who have been paying attention have known for some time: Joe Biden has lost whatever self-possession he ever had. Now, the president can't even manage a behind-closed-doors meeting with members of Congress without his notecards, which are prepared by... who?

Biden Announces Unannounced Hospital Visit Because He's Fine and Nothing Makes Sense Anymore. "What's the President's health really like?" has been one of Washington's favorite inside-the-Beltway parlor games since FDR was lying to the nation — with the help of a willing press — about his visibly failing physical and mental health during his wartime 1944 reelection campaign. With war raging in Eastern Europe, the Gaza Strip, the Red Sea, and China getting increasingly frisky across the Pacific, concerns about Increasingly Slow Joe's well-being are certainly well-founded.

The Editor says...
At least when F.D. Roosevelt was president, even though he was ill, nobody had to wonder if he was really in charge.

'No word on cognitive exam': Biden makes surprise trip to Walter Reed for alleged 'physical'. Sparking speculation, President Joe Biden's South Lawn shuffle included an announcement for an unscheduled trip to the hospital. Weeks after Special Counsel Robert Hur presented the state of Biden's mental faculties as a reason not to charge him for mishandling classified documents, and little more than a day since those issues manifested in a 25th Amendment resolution, the president told the press Wednesday he was headed for his annual physical. With a to-go cup in one hand, the octogenarian marched out of the White House to meet Marine One on the South Lawn and waved to the press as he announced, "I'm going to Walter Reed to get my physical."

The Editor says...
Ordinarily, when an old man makes an unscheduled trip to a hospital in a helicopter, the prognosis is quite poor.

House Republicans Subpoena DOJ for Records of Biden's Interview with Special Counsel. House Republicans are subpoenaing the Justice Department for records from special counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Joe Biden, conducted during Hur's investigation of the president's retention of classified documents. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R. Ky) and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) subpoenaed the Justice Department Tuesday afternoon for interview transcripts, audio, notes and video files from Hur's interview of President Biden. "The Committees further seek to understand whether the White House or President Biden's personal attorneys placed any limitations or scoping restrictions during the interviews with Special Counsel Hur or Mr. Mark Zwonitzer precluding or addressing any potential statements directly linking President Biden to troublesome foreign payments," the lawmakers said in a subpoena cover letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Republican Ken Buck demands Vice President Kamala Harris convene Cabinet and invoke 25th Amendment. Anti-impeachment Republican Rep. Ken Buck is now calling for President Biden to be removed from office another way — through the 25th Amendment. The Colorado Republican claims that Biden is not fit to serve after Special Counsel Robert Hur found the president mishandled classified documents because he is elderly and forgetful. A resolution he introduced Monday demands Vice President Kamala Harris immediately convene the Cabinet and declare 'what is obvious to a horrified nation: That the President is unable to successfully discharge the duties and powers of his office.'

Did Biden Just Create A Constitutional Crisis? The Supreme Court told President Joe Biden that he didn't have the authority to forgive student loan debt. But he did anyway, bragging that the Court "didn't stop me." So why do we even have a legislative branch and a high court if the president is going to make law as if he were a king? It's Biden's party, and its activist media, that has been carping for years about losing "our democracy." Yet when a Democratic president bypasses the checks and balances that are the backbone of our republic, the three co-equal branches framework of government that is intended to guard against descending into a dictatorship, they celebrate rather than condemn. Maybe it's because they care about the integrity of our system of government only when it's making policies they want.

Robert Hur Couldn't Determine Who Had Access to Biden's Stolen Classified Docs Because Security at Penn Biden Center Deleted All Visitor Logs From 2017-2021. Special Counsel Robert Hur could not determine who had access to Joe Biden's stolen classified documents stored at Penn Biden Center because security deleted all the visitor logs from 2017-2021. According to Hur, Joe Biden kept more than 600 pages of classified documents in unlocked drawers/closets at the Penn Biden Center and stored some of them in dilapidated boxes in his Delaware garage and other unsecured locations. The FBI identified numerous folders, including many labeled "EYES ONLY VPOTUS" which contained highly classified material related to intelligence sources and methods.

Indisputable Evidence of Biden's Corruption. Congressional investigators examining the president and his family have uncovered payments of millions of dollars from overseas entities in exchange for favorable treatment or the promise of it: The Biden family received: Over $3 million from Romania. Over $8 million from China. $6.5 million from Ukraine. Moreover, there is ample testimony under oath documenting Biden family corruption, most recently by Tony Bobulinksi, Hunter's partner: [" ...] He points to 'stacks of evidence that Joe Biden showed up at meetings, shook hands, participated in phone calls,' including claims he was on at least 20 Hunter business calls. Joe Biden 'was calling to demonstrate the Biden brand to whoever was in that meeting, whether it was the Ukrainians, the Romanians, the Russians, Colombians, Chinese, whoever it was. That's all he had to do.' Mr. Bobulinski says. 'Just him being on the phone is evidence of involvement and enabling the transaction.'["]

James Biden shills for the Biden Crime Family. Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) apologists would have us believe the Biden Crime Family is entirely innocent, the victim of evil MAGA persecution. [...] Let's review: At least nine Biden family members, including two grandchildren, have been paid from family overseas "business ventures." None of these people had any business acumen, knowledge or services to offer foreign governments or businesses. Hunter Biden, a drug-addled know-nothing has admitted, on camera, the foreign entities that paid him millions did so because his last name is "Biden." None of these supposed "loans" is accompanied by any documentation. Joe Biden has repeatedly said he never discussed business with his son, but: ["]The National Archives and Records Administration has admitted that it is in possession of nearly 5,400 emails, electronic records and documents that potentially show President Biden using a pseudonym during his vice presidency, it was revealed on Monday.["] Many of these were communications with Hunter. So, there are more than 150 suspicious activity reports from banks on the Biden Family, which, including grandchildren, has made tens of millions for apparently doing nothing, and James Biden throws away a diamond. Sounds legit to me.

Constitution? What Constitution? We keep on being gaslit with the argument that Joe Biden is dedicated to preserving the norms and laws of our Republic, while Trump is bent on destroying our Constitutional Republic. As with so many things argued by the Left, the opposite is the case. When Trump overstepped his authority and was chastised by the Court, he bowed to their authority. Biden? He does the opposite and brags about it. [Tweet] Example #1 is, of course, his student loan forgiveness efforts. Biden ran on providing student loan forgiveness, and when he assumed office, he tried to wipe away billions in this debt with the stroke of a pen. It was a blatant overreach of his authority, and before he did it, he and other Democrats acknowledged that fact. His actions had no legal basis, yet he did it anyway.

Special Counsel Indictment Looks Just As Bad For David Weiss As The Charged FBI Informant. On Thursday, Special Counsel David Weiss unsealed an indictment charging a longtime confidential human source (CHS) with making false statements. But it wasn't Christopher Steele, the CHS who threw the country into turmoil for four years by peddling the fraudulent Steele dossier. Former CHS Stefan Halper, who helped further the Russia-collusion hoax, also wasn't the subject of the indictment. Nor was CHS Rodney Joffe, who sought to destroy the Trump presidency with the Alfa Bank hoax. No, it was the CHS who, on June 26, 2020, told his handler that the owner of Burisma claimed he had paid Hunter and Joe Biden each $5 million in bribes in exchange for protection from being investigated by the Ukrainian prosecutor. Thursday's indictment revealed the name of that CHS for the first time — Alexander Smirnov — and alleged that Smirnov's aforementioned statements, which were memorialized in an FD-1023 report, were false.

James Biden Claims Joe Biden 'Never' Had Involvement in Family Business. James Biden, President Joe Biden's brother, told the impeachment inquiry on Wednesday that Joe Biden "never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest" in his business ventures. The claim comes as House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY), a former bank board member, found in October that a $200,000 check from Americore, which allegedly defrauded Medicare, landed in Joe Biden's bank account via James Biden.

Biden's outrageous spin on his special-counsel lies could set him up for impeachment. In his press conference following the report on his retention of classified documents, Joe Biden lashed out at special counsel Robert Hur for saying the president has such "diminished faculties," it would be difficult to criminally charge him. One of the key and scripted moments was Biden angrily denouncing Hur for raising his son's death. Many in the media eagerly replayed the clip the next day, calling Hur's question outrageous, callous and unprofessional. But NBC reports it was not Hur but Biden himself who raised Beau Biden's death. In the disastrous press conference, Biden went on the attack, [...] NBC's sources suggest this was a knowingly false claim by the president — he was the one who raised his son's death. If true, this isn't something the White House can simply fix with a few rewrites in brackets.

Delusions, Alternate Realities, and the Biden Consortium. Hunter Biden has a train of a dozen lawyers defending him on felony indictments ranging from several counts of tax fraud to gun violations. From time to time, the contents of his laptop come up, both in these criminal trials and in civil suits. The information on the laptop is, of course, incriminating and useful to various prosecutors and litigants. Yet Hunter himself is suing the computer repairman with whom he dropped off his laptop and never retrieved — and never paid — despite signing a waiver relinquishing ownership if and when in default of payment and claim. But the weirdest element of the Biden labyrinth of illegality is that both Hunter and his attorneys footnote their writs and statements with the inexplicable notion that the laptop is not necessarily Hunter's own — but then again, it could be. In other words, they are not presenting evidence to show that either the photographs, texts, or emails are concocted, even while they are suing various parties for defamatory dissipation of the sort of true, sort of false contents. Translated: The surreal truth is that Hunter is very mad that what he did illegally in part is evidenced on his own laptop, and he wants that information either suppressed or disowned, but without perjuring himself by stating the material on his laptop is not his own — because of course it is his.

Brandon, Rotting in the (White) House. [Scroll down] We're also informed in recent days by the Department of Justice that "Joe Biden" is not mentally competent to answer for anything in a court of law, should someone inquire into the signal irregularities emerging from the fugitive annals of his long career. Of course, "Joe Biden" running for reelection is one of the greatest gags ever put over on the American public. But more astounding yet is that half the country persists in pretending to believe it. They are egged on in every possible way by persons in high places of government fearful of going to prison if the Democratic Party loses its grip on the levers of power. Since "Joe Biden" is not actually calling the shots, one naturally wonders who is responsible for all the dubious achievements of the past three years. I guess we'll find out when Mr. Trump wins that election in November, an outcome increasingly guaranteed unless "Joe Biden" (or, let's face it, our Intel Community) takes the final decisive step of bumping off the Golden Golem of Greatness. What have they got left?

Hidin' Biden [is] AWOL as America faces crisis after crisis. A question an increasing number of voters are asking these days is a perfectly reasonable one: Who [...] is running the country right now? In looking at President Biden's schedule just last week alone, the answer to that basic question is as clear as New Jersey's swamps: On Tuesday, the 81-year-old delivered brief remarks on the Senate's passage of a supplemental agreement. When reporters attempted to ask questions afterward, Biden said he had to run but promised to take questions Wednesday or Thursday. That never happened, of course, and not because Biden had a stacked itinerary to contend with. But here's something more disconcerting: The commander-in-chief received Tuesday's daily intelligence brief not in the morning but at 2:45 p.m. Maybe he thinks our enemies like to sleep in on Tuesdays.

'The Whole Thing Was A Scam': Jim Biden Used His Powerful Brother's Name To Promote Failed Health Company. Jim Biden frequently invoked his brother Joe Biden's name to promote a now-defunct health care company that allegedly engaged in massive Medicare fraud, according to Politico. Jim Biden's name appeared in investor materials and internal communications alongside some of the top leaders and executives at Americore, a hospital operator that sought to reinvigorate health care in rural America, and at least three members of the Biden family did work with the company, according to Politico's investigation. Jim Biden would frequently invoke his brother's name when pitching prospective investors in the company, which wired Jim Biden $200,000 before he transferred the same amount to Joe Biden in 2018.

Biden's brother used his name to promote a hospital chain. Then it collapsed. In 2017, a hospital operator set out to build a rural health care empire with the help of a Philadelphia-area consultant. The consultant, Jim Biden, had no experience running hospitals. But he did understand the federal government and had ties to labor unions. Perhaps more important, he was the younger brother of Joe Biden. The final years of the Obama administration had cemented the former vice president's towering stature in the world of health care, where he had made the fight against cancer a top federal priority and, then, a centerpiece of his legacy-building efforts. For then 67-year-old Jim Biden, the third of four Biden siblings, his ties to his older brother made up much of his pitch as he pursued deals that could help Americore make money from drug rehab, lab testing and even cancer treatment.

Biden's Brother Reportedly Believed 'Plausible Deniability' Would Shield Family From Criticism Over Chinese Dealings. James Biden, the president's younger brother, laughed off a suggestion that the family's Chinese business dealings could be reputationally damaging, citing "plausible deniability," according to the transcript of a closed-door testimony released Friday. Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability that James Biden had dismissed the potential political fallout that could result from the family dealing with Chinese businessmen. James Biden is scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee on Feb. 21, with members of Congress set to question him in an alleged influence-peddling scheme tied to the president.

House Republicans Learn of Bank Account Used to Funnel Money to Joe Biden. According to Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, this newfound information is part of a growing body of evidence that could potentially prompt Congress to issue subpoenas for Joe Biden's personal bank and credit card records. "In one of the interviews — that we haven't, I don't believe, disclosed the transcript yet — the witness made reference to an account we didn't know about. We're researching that account," Comer said in an interview on "Just the News, No Noise." "They also said that that account could have possibly been paid with some infusion from the grandchildren." Comer pointed out that, if true, it would be highly usual. "Now, I don't know about you. But I don't know anyone in the world whose grandchildren have ever deposited money into a savings account for their elderly grandfather," Comer said. "But now, maybe I'm wrong. But that's something we're certainly looking into."

The Don Of The 'Biden Crime Family'. he evidence of President Joe Biden's criminal activity continues to grow. As has often been said, the wheels of justice grind slowly, but we'd like to see them get in gear in time for voters to know that their president is a crook. During testimony earlier this week before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, former Hunter Biden associate Tony Bobulinski said "it is clear to me that Joe Biden was 'the Brand' being sold by the Biden family." "The Biden family business was Joe Biden, period." Simply put, Bobulinski said Joe has been the recognizable name that the Bidens sold to amass wealth that few Americans can conceive of. "From China to Ukraine, the Biden crime family sold access to Joe Biden," Bobulinksi said during an impeachment inquiry deposition. He further revealed that "the Chinese Communist Party through its surrogate, China Energy Company Limited," a business syndicate, infiltrated and compromised Joe Biden and the Obama-Biden White House.

Arresting An Informant Will NOT Make The Biden Crime Family Investigation Go Away. Biden's DOJ is proving — once again — that Lady Justice no longer wears a blindfold. There is an important reason that the artistic personification of our Justice system is depicted as wearing a blindfold as she holds a scale in one hand and a sword in the other. Decisions about innocence or guilt (along with all other judgments) are to be made independently of the place in society the accused comes from. It is a sign of corruption descending into a police state when tools intended for prosecuting the guilty and vindicating the innocent are turned on their head. Just this week, we are hearing about the highest levels of the Obama/Biden Intelligence Community actively conspiring to destroy the GOP candidate for President — with coordinated 'Russian Collusion' slander that massively impacted the 2018 elections and had the sitting President under a bogus investigation through the first half of his term.

Biden is Such a Disaster During Visit to East Palestine That His Handlers Force Press Out of the Room. Joe Biden on Friday departed the White House en route to East Palestine, Ohio for a fly-by photo-op. Biden begrudgingly visited East Palestine more than ONE YEAR after the toxic train crash. Biden, the lifelong scummy politician that he is, decided that since it's election year he would shake some hands and act like he cares about the people of East Palestine. On Feb. 3, 2023, just before 9 p.m. Eastern, a Norfolk Southern train derailed near East Palestine, Ohio, a small Midwestern town of about 4,800 people near the Ohio border with Pennsylvania. At least 11 of the train cars that derailed contained hazardous materials. Several cars were carrying vinyl chloride, a cancer-causing substance.

Joe Biden does deserve credit for everything he has done. When he talks about the Inflation Reduction Act, he shouldn't be so shy! He should be transparent, and acknowledge that it was never meant to pay for itself or reduce inflation, but take the credit he deserves, and brag about being the president who made the biggest "investment" into "clean" energy in American history — a "green" slush fund doesn't have the same ring. Biden is also very proud of helping very wealthy companies with the CHIPS and Science Act. Intel has a market value of $187 billion, and had $25 billion in cash at the end of 2023. Wouldn't it have been smarter to just start requiring companies to buy their computer chips from American sources by 2027 for national security purposes instead of giving huge taxpayer handouts to very rich companies?

Why does it seem like most members of Congress are either stupid, rapacious, or both? We have all seen the Democrat party become radicalized, almost purely Marxist, since the Obama administration. Obama promised to transform the country and he surely did. He effectively drove race relations backward by seventy years. It is common knowledge that Obama despised his VP Biden. Why he was chosen to be his VP in the first place is anybody's guess. Biden was a known jerk, a racist (his mentor was KKK member/aficionado Robert Byrd), rather dumb, a plagiarist, and a pathological liar. For example, for years he told the story that his first wife was killed by a drunk driver. That was never true; the accident was her fault and the truck driver was not intoxicated. He enjoyed humiliating Clarence Thomas throughout Thomas's confirmation hearings when in fact, Biden is not fit to shine Thomas's shoes. So the question remains, with a president so obviously an intellectual lightweight to say the least, a man who is now obviously suffering from advancing dementia, how is it that Biden has been able to do so much damage to the nation. Answer? The Democrat members of Congress are stupid, greedy, and addicted to power.

It doesn't take an expert to tell us that Biden shows all the signs of dementia. Last week, the special prosecutor said Biden's memory was so dysfunctional he couldn't be tried for textbook national security violations. Biden's push-back press conference painfully showcased his mental failings. Since then, Democrats have tentatively acknowledged his age but insist he's still sharp. Naturally, the experts were called. But who needs experts? We know what we see. [...] When it comes to judging Biden's state of mind, We the People are the experts, and we know exactly what's happening. The nature of his presidency hasn't changed, of course, because (a) he's no less cognitively able than he was in January 2021 and (b) he's not in charge, anyway, so it's fine for him to head the ticket in 2024. But it's certainly true that nobody with any mental competency should vote for him.

DOJ Releases Images and Texts from Hunter Biden's Phone. Texts messages and photos from Hunter Biden's iPhone around the time he purchased a gun in October 2018 indicate he was addicted to drugs, according to a Tuesday court filing by the Department of Justice. Biden is currently being prosecuted for allegedly lying about his illicit drug use on a federal form when buying the firearm. The 10-page DOJ court filing contained pictures and text messages from the time period, both before and after Biden's gun purchase, showing he was addicted to drugs.

Nancy Pelosi, 83, says Joe Biden's age makes him "wise". President Joe Biden was described by the special counsel earlier this month "a sympathetic elderly man with a poor memory." Since then, Biden, 81, has been facing more and more scrutiny into his mental acuity and his advanced age. Not to worry! Rep. Nancy Pelosi, 83, finds it completely normal for Biden to run for a second term. The California Democrat said on CNN, "He's younger than I am, so what do I have to say about his age? Pelosi dismissed voters' concerns about Biden's senior moments. "I think his public presentation is OK," she said.

Biden was an Enabler of Family Business of Selling His Brand. [Scroll down] For nearly four years, I have tried to tell the American people the truth about serious corruption at the very top of their government. In return, I have been falsely accused of being a purveyor of "Russian disinformaCon" and a poltical surrogate. My continuous efforts to inform the American people of the facts have been actively suppressed by both the United States Government and the so-called "mainstream" media. I want to be crystal clear: from my direct personal experience and what I have subsequently come to learn, it is clear to me that Joe Biden was "the Brand" being sold by the Biden family. His family's foreign influence peddling operation — from China to Ukraine and elsewhere — sold out to foreign actors who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States government. Joe Biden was more than a participant in and beneficiary of his family's business; he was an enabler, despite being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability.

It's Not What Biden Special Counsel Included in His Report — Senators Say It's What He Left Out. Two hawk-eyed Senators are asking the Attorney General and his special counsel a big question: Did you guys just pull another fast one? Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson say the same special counsel report that called Biden forgetful, old, and guilty of stealing and keeping highly classified documents left out a big chunk of evidence. They're wondering what happened to nine boxes full of documents that Joe Biden illegally took and then sent to his lawyer's office, and that were then picked up by the National Archives. The contents of those files and documents were not in the Hur report, and they want to know why. [Tweet] Grassley and Johnson wrote a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland to ask him what happened to those documents.

If Joe Biden is unfit to stand trial, he's unfit to be president. It's that simple. Special counsel Robert Hur's nearly 400-page report is full of [scathing] evidence of Biden's carelessness with vital national-security secrets. And his defense of Biden is that the man is just too old and forgetful to be held responsible for his actions. Consider Biden's storage of Afghan war secrets in his Delaware home, including a classified handwritten memo he wrote to President Barack Obama in 2009 that Biden kept because he thought it would vindicate his opposition to sending more troops. The memo and its classified attachments were found "in a badly damaged box in the garage, near a collapsed dog crate, a dog bed, a Zappos box, an empty bucket, a broken lamp wrapped with duct tape, potting soil, and synthetic firewood." Hur suggests that this was so reckless that Biden's lawyers might convince a jury it had to be accidental: "this is not where a person intentionally stores what he supposedly considers to be important classified documents, critical to his legacy. Rather, it looks more like a place a person stores classified documents he has forgotten about or is unaware of." Well, that's reassuring.

Chuck Schumer Says Questions About Biden's Mental Acuity Are Just 'Right Wing Propaganda'. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said this week that he speaks to Joe Biden all the time and that his mind is just fine, going on to suggest that questions about Biden's mental health are just right wing propaganda. This is fantasy talk from Schumer. Recent polling indicates that the vast majority of the American people have questions about Biden's mental state and the Hur report only confirmed this. The fact that Schumer even felt he had to address this issue is very telling.

Tony Bobulinski's blistering impeachment testimony: 'The Biden family business was Joe Biden, period'. A former Biden family business partner scorched President Biden in an explosive opening statement at a House impeachment inquiry deposition Tuesday, saying the commander-in-chief is corrupt — and that his testimony will help prove it. "The Biden family business was Joe Biden, period," said Tony Bobulinski, a former Navy officer who worked alongside first son Hunter Biden and first brother James Biden on a venture with CEFC China Energy. Bobulinski alleges he met with Joe Biden twice in May 2017 to discuss the venture shortly after Biden left office as vice president. A different former Biden family associate, Rob Walker, testified Jan. 26 that the Biden family's business relationship with CEFC began in 2015 when Joe Biden was still vice president and that Joe Biden himself attended a meeting at the Four Seasons hotel in or around March 2017 with CEFC chairman Ye Jianming, who has since gone missing in China amid corruption allegations.

Don't be fooled by apparent Democrat incompetence in the election. It became apparent three years ago that Biden would not be able to run in 2024 due to age-related issues. It was even doubtful that he would finish his one term. The not-so-funny joke is that his protective ace card in the hole was Kamala Harris, who would become the incumbent, which scared many Democrats. To win in 2020, the Democrats had to burn the ships, leaving no credible candidates on the national stage but Biden. The party placed themselves between a rock and a hard place by going all in on Biden's presidency, combined with 'the first black woman' as V.P. This meant they could not be grooming, developing, and promoting any other future candidates without appearing racist. Doing so would signal that Harris won't have a future shot, and for Democrats and their base, that would be kryptonite.

If it IS a sham, it's abuse of Mr. Biden, isn't it?
Are Dems Actually 'Stuck With Biden'? Or Are They Playing A Long Con? In the span of two days, articles started appearing making the exact same argument: That Joe Biden will definitely, no questions asked, be the nominee come November. So, naturally, we are left wondering what Democrats have up their sleeve to get the flailing president off the ballot. [...] For one thing, if defeating Donald Trump is the Democrats' paramount concern (to "save democracy" and all), Biden staying in the race seems like the worst possible choice. He is hugely unpopular, and that's not likely to change. Minorities and independents are gravitating toward Trump. Biden's physical and mental state will only get worse, and his decline is by all evidence, accelerating. It's an open question whether he'd agree to, or would be able to, debate Trump. The chance that he will do something catastrophically stupid or embarrassing grows by the day, and the White House can't keep him locked away until Nov. 6.

Biden's Sound and Fury. The worst kept secret in Washington is the President's accelerating cognitive decline. Yet, when special counsel Robert Hur's report on Biden's mishandling of classified documents made note of this obvious fact, the White House responded with outrage. Hur opted not to bring charges against him for several reasons, including how a jury trial might play out: "Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." This led to a hastily called news conference, during which a semi-coherent Biden shouted at reporters as if they were attempting to take away his car keys. Allowing Biden to face the media before he calmed down was a serious blunder by Biden's staff.

President Non Compos Mentis. Biden is no longer mentally fit to be commander-in-chief. He's an empty husk. I told you he was a meat puppet years ago. Last week, on national television, he proved it. The world is on the edge of war. China is pushing us in the Pacific, Iran pushes us across the Middle East. Russia is taking Ukraine, despite our war party's best effort to bring us to the edge of world war. And the president is not in possession of his right mind. He's slow and senile and the world can see it.

The Hole in Biden's Marble Bag is Bigger Now. He's losing it faster now. There's no way Biden can make it to the general election. In my own estimation, Gavin Newsom is still the convention nominee, with a soft exit for Biden announced. [Video clip]

Senile Is As Senile Does — and Joe Biden Is Senile. America is still slack-jawed in amazement at last week's blithering antics of President Cornholio. The guy would have to work his way up to being senile, and the fact that he was always stupid and arrogant and malicious just makes his present condition a million times worse. That the guy is manifestly unfit to be president is obvious; what is also obvious is that this guy isn't going anywhere. It's Trump versus Biden all the way to November.

New Info From Hur Report, Plus Embarrassing Evidence That Might Upend Biden Claim About Docs. The Hur report indicated what a complete disaster Biden was in terms of keeping and not returning classified documents. What's described here is insane, and former president Donald Trump didn't come close to any of this. RealClear Investigations reporter Benjamin Weingarten grabbed some of the most [embarrassing] and concerning parts. [Tweet] He had all kinds of classified material and they appeared to have no system for recovering it. This has been a problem for years, with the "Executive Secretary Team" expressing concern in 2010 about all the classified briefing books he had not returned, and that even when things were returned, some items were missing. [Tweet] They were unable to determine if some of this material was ever returned. He took his notebooks home with him and kept them, even though they had classified materials in them. He kept them in unsecured locations. [Tweet]

Joe Biden's Classified Docs Provide More Evidence Hunter's Pay-To-Play Was A Family Affair. The special counsel report on Joe Biden's unauthorized removal and disclosure of classified documents exposed much more than our president's mental deficits and the breadth of his irresponsible handling of top-secret and classified information. The report revealed a close nexus between Hunter Biden's influence peddling and his father's responsibilities and access to intel during the elder's term as vice president. On Thursday, Special Counsel Robert Hur released the results of his investigation into the president stemming from the discovery of top-secret and classified documents at Biden's D.C.-based Penn Biden Center, his private Delaware home, and the University of Delaware. While the specific details in the recovered documents remain unknown, the nearly 400-page report provided an extensive enough summary of the materials to confirm an overlap in the timing and topics of Joe Biden's vice presidency and Hunter Biden's "business" enterprises.

Obama Poised to Pull the Plug on Biden? Special counsel Robert Hur did a great service to America last week in two ways that fundamentally and irreversibly transform the Presidential race. [...] Number one, by declining to charge President Biden for "willfully retain[ing]" classified materials, Hur blew up any pretense of fairness when it comes to how Biden's Department of Justice treats its own boss, while it throws the book at President Trump. Not only did Hur decline to prosecute Biden, he made clear that the facts surrounding Biden's retention of documents were far worse — not even in the same solar system — compared with President Trump's case. [...] Biden had no protection whatsoever over his custody of the classified documents he possessed illegally, many of which he squirreled away in his unlocked garage next to a non-electric Corvette. President Trump's documents were kept under lock and key at his Mar-a-Lago estate that even some in the media acknowledge is "built like a fortress," and guarded around-the-clock by Secret Service officers.

Report: Former Obama Adviser Susan Rice is the 'Central' Figure in the Biden Administration's Approach to the Border. For months, people have been openly wondering who is the real power behind the throne in the Biden administration? Who is really running the country? We now know who is calling the shots when it comes to their policy on the border. Word is that former Obama security adviser Susan Rice is calling the tune on border issues. Additionally, members of Biden's team must have been looking at polling on immigration and the border, because they have formed a circular firing squad over the issues. [...] Would anyone be surprised if we learn that Susan Rice has been in charge of other issues? Wouldn't it make sense?

Biden's condition is simply a matter of record. Let the facts speak for themselves. Is Joe Biden too old to be president? A topic that has long been suppressed by the mainstream media has erupted in public debate, in the aftermath of a report by the special counsel charged to investigate whether the president should be prosecuted for keeping federal documents dating from his time as Barack Obama's vice-president. Special counsel Robert Hur has recommended against prosecuting the president, on the basis of the mental debility produced by Biden's advanced age: "Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." Trump, who has been charged by another special prosecutor with similar crimes involving the mishandling of government documents, is unlikely to benefit from a similar "senility defense." In a hastily-arranged press conference intended to report the special counsel report's statements about his competence, President Biden only raised further doubts by misidentifying "Sisi" — Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi — as "the president of Mexico." This follows a series of gaffes in which Biden has referred to his recent conversations with European leaders who in fact died years ago.

Joe Biden, Who Gave Consumers 33 Percent Food Inflation, Cuts Super Bowl Sunday Video Attacking Snack Food Industry for 'Shrinkflation'. No joke. He really thinks you are that stupid, America. After driving up the price of food 33 percent in three years thanks to his disastrous inflationary policies, Joe Biden is portraying himself as standing up for the little guy by attacking the snack food industry over "shrinkflation", selling smaller packages at the same price to compensate for Biden's inflation. On Super Bowl Sunday, the White House posted a video on its social media platforms featuring Biden complaining that there are fewer snack chips in bags, smaller sports drink containers and — what makes ice cream lover Joe the "most angry" — smaller cartons of ice cream.

Joe Biden's 'shrinkflation' blame game. By the time the Super Bowl started, it had been extensively reported that President Joe Biden had refused, for the second year in a row, to do the traditional Super Bowl interview. [...] Biden had other plans. If he would not, or could not, handle a Super Bowl interview, he would still get in on the Super Bowl story, creating an attention-getting, Super Bowl-themed video released a few hours before kickoff. No tough questions, no embarrassing pauses, just total White House control. [...] What Biden calls shrinkflation is clearly real. Everybody who has been to a grocery store in the last couple of years knows that. But shrinkflation is just a form of inflation — the inflation that Biden and his colleagues in the Democratic Party on Capitol Hill fanned with trillions of dollars of reckless government spending. The shrinkflation that Biden denounces is at least partly the result of Biden's policies.

The Reasons To Impeach Biden Keep Stacking Up. There are now at least three major reasons to impeach President Joe Biden: his corruption, his mental unfitness for office, and his criminal collusion with Mexico to foment the border crisis. Republicans in Congress could take their pick and be on solid footing, but they probably won't pursue any of them. It would be easy to do, and impeachment hearings should already be on the schedule for this week. First of all, there's the corruption of the Biden family business, evidence of which has been piling up since House Republicans launched their impeachment inquiry back in the fall. Then there's Biden's mental unfitness for office as detailed in the special counsel report released last week and immediately corroborated by Biden himself in a disastrous news conference. And finally, there's the lesser-known but in some ways most compelling cause for impeachment: Biden's collaboration with a corrupt cartel-state synthesis in Mexico to create the ongoing border crisis.

Has Joe Biden Become Possessed, Or Is He Just High as a Kite? It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and Biden's pupils were so dilated that his eyes were solid black while he was reinterpreting the words of the special prosecutor. Looking at previous speeches, it seems that all of his "big" speeches have the same image: significantly dilated pupils. Since I don't actually believe that he is the anti-Christ, I started doing some research about what that could mean. I am not a doctor, but there are enough studies easily available that it isn't hard to integrate the data with the images of Biden's eyes when he speaks. We all recognize Biden demonstrates the behavior of a man who is suffering with the fifth level of dementia: moderately severe cognitive decline. Some of the symptoms of this stage (there are 7 stages) include: inability to recall names; challenges with organization; verbal repetition; mood swings; denial of symptoms; wandering; aggression; and pronounced memory loss of familiar people, events, and personal details. All of these symptoms were clearly visible during his Thursday night speech.

I never thought I'd see. There are days when I wake up in an America I hardly recognize. [...] I never thought I'd see:
• America in another Cold War with Russia.
• A President who took deliberate actions to make the southern border weaker.
• The American people turning a blind eye to a President who clearly is suffering from dementia and pretending that everything is all right.
• The President of the U.S. making citizens choose between being forced to take a shot of vaccine or losing their careers.
• The President declaring that the Constitution is fluid and subject to political interpretation.
• The President of the United States clearly having sold his position to profit his son and other members of the family.
• The Department of Justice state that the President willfully took and distributed classified material but won't be charged because he is elderly and has poor memory.

86% Of Americans Say Biden Too Old For Another Term: Poll. Concerns about President Joe Biden's age while he seeks re-election appear to be escalating with the release of a new survey that followed a special counsel report that found the commander-in-chief had memory problems. Eighty-six percent of adults said Biden, who is 81, is too old to serve a second term in the White House, according to an Ipsos poll unveiled on Sunday.

The Editor says...
That leaves 14 percent who think Biden is capable of serving another four years. Who are these people? They must either hate Trump a lot, or hate Israel, or they like to see homeless bums and unskilled illegal aliens everywhere, or relish the idea of five-dollar gasoline. Or maybe they get all of their news from MSNBC.

Big Mike is Coming. It's becoming pretty clear that Sleepy Joe is about to get the heave-ho. He's served out his usefulness. He's becoming an obvious liability. There's only so much that can be done to cover up the fact that he's not all there and that's why they're laying the groundwork for someone new to be there. [...] It's remarkable, isn't it, that the same Left that makes every excuse imaginable for this derelict is the same Left that warned the country Ronald Reagan was "too old" to run for office back in 1979. Reagan was in his late 60s at the time. Of course, this is another time and 80 seems to be the new 60. Orange Man is not far from 80 — and would be as old as Sleepy Joe is today at the end of his next-presidency, assuming he's allowed to win the office. There are multiple ways for the Left to prevent that from happening, as happened last time. This time, it probably won't be "COVID" that provides the excuse for the Left to turn Election Day into Election Months.

Will Dems Swap Michelle Obama for Joe Biden? No Way. For the last couple of days, the news world has been abuzz with the Hur Report, its condemnation of President Biden's mental state, and its implications for the 2024 Presidential race. Day by day, more and more Democrats are showing some willingness to yank the rug out from under old Joe and sub in someone else. There is a lot of noise about someone either belling the cat and convincing Joe (or, more likely, Jill) to step down for "reasons of health" or "family matters" or to outright 25th Amendment the old man into the next time zone, which would put Kamala Harris at the Resolute Desk and, oh, by the way, would make her the incumbent heading into the election. The question is this: Who will replace Joe Biden on the ticket, should this come to pass? Will it be Kamala Harris, whose approval ratings are somewhere between divorce lawyers and dysentery? Maybe, but recent GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy thinks it will be former First Lady Michelle Obama.

The Editor says...
It doesn't matter that Michelle Obama is incompetent, and would merely serve at the puppet of Barack H. Obama. That just means she and Biden are functionally equivalent. With Michelle Obama in place as President, we still won't know who's really running the country.

Biden may actually not know he has a problem. That means he does have a problem.. Joe Biden has spent a good deal of his Presidency weaponizing the Federal agencies against Republicans and Donald Trump. He had the FBI targeting churches and PTA moms. More recently he was exposed for directing the Treasury to spy on Republicans' financial transactions. [...] Hur found that Biden willfully took, retained and disclosed classified materials, some at the highest level of classification. Biden was reckless in his handling of those materials. Yet Hur declined to bring charges and he needed to explain his rationale for not charging Biden, who now faces a dilemma. He could consent to having released the recordings of his interview with Hur to dispel the belief that he is what we all see — a doddering old man with a failing memory an incapable of carrying out the Presidency or possibly face charges for mishandling classified documents once he is out of office. This also offers Donald Trump a legal avenue. If Biden can persuade people that he is fit for office then he should be charged. If he is not charged then the charges against Trump should be dismissed.

Here Are the Worst Lies From Biden's Speech. As if the Special Counsel report on Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents wasn't bad enough, someone decided it was a good idea to let Biden address the nation and take questions from the media. It did not go well — it was basically a disaster — but what really got me was the way Biden flat-out lied about what the report said. Here are a few of the worst lies from the speech. [...]

Can the Republicans be trusted to stand aside as Democrats implode? [Scroll down] Those facts and calculations were all set in stone right up until Thursday when everything changed. That was the day when Special Prosecutor Robert K. Hur dropped a bomb: The facts show that Joe Biden, who had no authority to declassify documents, took them home with him, stored them in his unsecured garage, handed them over to the unsecured Biden library at Penn, and read them aloud to his ghostwriter, who had no security clearance. As was the case with Hillary's cavalier treatment of national security information, the undisputed facts ought to have landed Biden in federal prison for the rest of his natural life. [...] In Biden's case, Hur claims that Biden is essentially non compos mentis: Because of Biden's failing memory, the jury won't indict. That's not a reason not to prosecute, of course. It's up to Biden's defense counsel to claim that because he's demented, he cannot offer a meaningful defense. What matters, though, is that Biden will get a pass.

Eventful Events. [Scroll down] A not inconsiderable part of our Ukraine problem has been that our chief executive was for years engaged in bribery and money-laundering misadventures there, for which there is abundant and powerful evidence, meaning he may have had very personal interests in keeping that country disordered — and sending billions of dollars there, some of it surely embezzled among the Zelensky government. You'd have to also be aware that the bag-man in those operations, the President's son, Hunter, might well have misbehaved with drugs and prostitutes on his many trips to Ukraine as a board member of Burisma. Hunter's self-compiled archive of round-the-world drug-fueled porn recordings on the laptop that (the FBI confirmed recently) was unquestionably his own, suggests that the Ukraine authorities may have their own recordings of him behaving similarly, or worse, and are using them to blackmail "President Joe Biden."

Doctors call for Biden to take mental competency test after scathing classified docs report: 'Something isn't right'. Medical professionals have stepped up calls for President Biden to take a mental competency test after Thursday's blistering report from special counsel Robert Hur revealed the 81-year-old can't remember basic facts about his own life and career. The Hur report, released Thursday, assessed Biden as too senile to be prosecuted over his wrongful retention of classified documents and noted the commander-in-chief "did not remember when he was vice president" and "did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died" over two days of interviews in October. "Something isn't right, and even if it's minor, it must be explained to the public," Dr. Stuart Fischer, a primary care physician at a nursing home in the Bronx, told The [New York] Post. "The horse is out of the barn. Not only does [Biden] have an infirmity of some degree, but he has delayed producing objective evidence," the internal medicine expert added, arguing that "no one is buying" the president's defenses about his memory.

Are Democrats Really Going to Stick With Biden After This? You know, I think they are. I've even made a handshake bet that they will. But I'll confess to questioning my end of that wager more than ever, after the events of Thursday afternoon and evening. Even before the Special Counsel report arrived, the president had been spending the week mistaking European political leaders for their deceased predecessors. Then the report detonated. It announced that the DOJ would not pursue charges against Joe Biden over his unlawful conduct, despite evidence that he "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency," including items that were marked highly classified.

If Trump gave the presser Biden did, Democrats would say he's unfit for office. President Joe Biden held a press conference on Thursday night to do damage control over special counsel Robert Hur's report over Biden's handling of classified documents. However, the presser was such a disaster that it unquestionably caused more damage than it controlled. It was a public relations nightmare for Biden, who came off as angry, bitter, confused, uninformed, and incompetent. Had it been former President Donald Trump instead of Biden who spoke last night, Democrats would claim he's unfit for office. But Democrats don't hold Biden to the same standards they held Trump. Biden can spread misinformation, be ineffective, sow the seeds of discord, cause division, and fuel political strife, and Democrats will ignore it. Biden can be the impetus for political inertia, and few, if any, Democrats will challenge or criticize him. Biden is treated with "kid gloves" by those who wore vicious animal claws when dealing with Trump.

Congress' New Imperative: Get the Biden Transcripts From Hur. It's long past time for Congress to act to investigate the arguable incapacitation of the president. For the past three years, Americans knew what Democrats refused to admit — that Joe Biden had entered a cognitive decline that rendered him unfit for office. Democrats and the media insisted that Biden still had energy and vigor, even while every public appearance added evidence to the contrary. Voters had to rely on their own eyes to reach their conclusions that Biden's aphasiac mumbling, stiffness, and repeatedly false recollections indicated that Biden was clearly unfit for office. In poll after poll, majorities of respondents complain that Biden is too old for a second term — and yet Democrats never bothered to offer their own voters a serious choice. Robert Hur exposed the three-year cover-up by the White House, Democrats, and media in his Special Counsel report.

Sharp Enough to Be President, Dim Enough to Be Absolved. Welcome to 2024, where the same man who was just absolved of criminal responsibility for the willful retention and mishandling of classified documents, largely due to his being elderly and having a faulty memory, is nevertheless held up by his fellow Democrats as being fit for reelection as commander in chief and de facto leader of the free world. [...] Of course they aren't recommending criminal prosecution of Old Joe. That was pretty much a given. The real question on that front is how they expect to blur out the optics of treating Biden with kid gloves while yanking them off in favor of brass knuckles to go at the guy who just happens to be his primary political opponent. Anyone who doesn't view the world purely through Dem-colored glasses can't help but see the blatant double standard being employed here.

Texas Lieutenant Governor Says 'Deep State Run by Barack Obama' Has Pulled the Rug Out from Under Biden. Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick of Texas said a Department of Justice report that described President Joe Biden as an "elderly man with a poor memory" is proof enough for him Democrats are going with a different candidate in November. The memo, along with Biden's late Thursday news conference, means that those who are pulling the strings in the Democratic Party are forcing Biden out, Patrick claimed. He specifically blamed former President Barack Obama and the deep state. Patrick made the comments on social media Friday morning, where he also predicted Americans could see former first lady Michelle Obama on their ballots this fall.

Joe Biden's insanity defense. Yesterday, the special prosecutor (technically called a "special counsel" these days, a term which obfuscates in my opinion) released his report on his investigation of Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents. [...] The special prosecutor's investigation concerned Biden's removal of highly classified materials from government offices including the White House. He put the materials into his garage, his basement, his beach house, his Corvette . . . you know, all the places you keep the nation's top secrets. He did this numerous times. The special counsel found that it's even worse than that. Biden also disclosed some of the classified materials to people without security clearance, including the person who ghost-wrote a book published under Biden's name. The special prosecutor found that Biden's multiple violations were "willful." But the special prosecutor decided not to bring charges.

Democrats Spun Biden's Classified Docs As 'Six Items,' But Special Counsel Report Reveals It Was 300-Plus. Thursday's bombshell report by Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded that "President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen." And though the material concerned "issues of national security and foreign policy implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods," and presented "serious risks to national security," Hur recommended against charging Biden in his 380-plus-page report, saying it would be "difficult to convince a jury" to convict such "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." Hur's [scathing] assessment of Biden's degenerative mental state launched a media frenzy concerning his fitness for office, prompting the president to angrily condemn the report for including what he called "extraneous" matters in a hastily arranged press conference Thursday evening.

Does Biden Even Understand Why He Wasn't Charged? Joe Biden, even though he did take and secrete away secret documents and such, will not be charged with any crime related to what are acts quite similar to those for which Donald Trump was charged with crimes. In his report explaining his decision, Special Counsel Robert Hur said today that Biden was too far removed from reality for a jury to convict him of a crime. In other words, Biden did it, Biden broke the law, but he is too mentally deficient for anyone to believe he either really did it on purpose or, after the fact, could possibly have remembered what he did, let alone pass along the information (of course, that does leave aside Hunter's possible use of the documents but maybe that will come up in his tax case.)

GOP Calls to Invoke 25th Amendment After Special Counsel Casts Doubt on Biden's Mental Acuity. Following Special Counsel Robert Hur's report, which included stunning revelations of the deterioration of President Joe Biden's mental state, Republican officials are calling to invoke the 25th Amendment. They state that "if ever there were a time to do so, now would be it," and insist that if the president "is not competent to stand trial, then he is certainly not competent to lead the free world." While highlighting evidence of America's oldest ever president "willfully" mishandling classified documents, Special Counsel Hur's report details Biden's significant cognitive decline — perhaps more politically damning than his handling of classified materials.

Jill Biden and Dems committed elder abuse on Joe — now they must force him to step aside. As part of special counsel Robert Hur's investigation into Joe Biden, he reviewed interviews conducted by a ghostwriter with Biden after he left office. The former vice president was "painfully slow," Hur's report notes, with " limited precision and recall." This is in 2017 — three full years before he ran for president. What Hur has proven is that Joe Biden's cognitive decline is not new, and it certainly wasn't a secret. Jill Biden knew. His aides knew. [Indeed], James Clyburn, the entire Democratic establishment knew. Yet, terrified that Bernie Sanders would win the nomination and then fail to take down their mortal enemy, Donald Trump, they propped up Biden like he was a Potemkin candidate — or, more accurately, "Weekend at Bernie's" — to try to capture some Obama nostalgia.

The Twilight of Joe Biden. We may well look back on February 8, 2024 as the specific moment in time Joe Biden's bid for reelection was lost. The report of the special prosecutor issued this afternoon effectively said Biden was guilty of willfully mishandling classified documents — but that he could not be successfully prosecuted (and would not be until he was out of office anyway) because he is a nice senile old man and no jury would convict him. Democrats and others expressed outrage at the way special prosecutor Robert Hur chose to explain this decision — but what else exactly was Hur supposed to say? He had to produce a report. He had to lay out why he wasn't going to try to bring a case against Biden. He did. What he said was that Biden had sat for an interview with his team and that the president's memory was so poor and his capacity for recollection so feeble he came across as non compos mentis.

It Can't Be Biden. The primary system has proven inconvenient to the DNC, and their past shenanigans to ensure that their anointed candidate is "selected" within the primary framework has been difficult to conceal. As such, it makes sense that the DNC would wait to anoint Biden's replacement. The very best scenario imaginable for the DNC isn't to open the process to ideas and speculation and voters today, but to have Biden eliminated from the race at some time around the convention. It would be a madhouse of speculation and criticism, of course, but all that would be needed is enough of the delegates that were pledged to Biden to break for the newly-anointed candidate. Superdelegates would have no say unless the convention is contested, though it may be contested to make the process look less rigged.

Too incompetent to be prosecuted but not too incompetent to govern? Per Special counsel Robert Hur's — a Republican, you'll be reminded incessantly if you follow this story — findings in the Joe Biden classified documents case, Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified material after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen." I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure this constitutes a felony, at least when a Republican or anyone not named Obama, Biden, or Clinton does it. But Mr. Hur won't bring charges because "Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

The Editor says...
I don't think Joe Biden has ever been a "well-meaning" man. He is one of the most venal and corrupt politicians in Washington DC, and a profane, short-tempered man who lies effortlessly about almost everything. In a few years, he will go to collect his reward for all these dirty deeds, and it's gonna be ugly.

The world can see that Biden is finished. Why can't the Democrats? Could there be anything more harmful to an election candidate's chances than the multiple legal cases that are facing Donald Trump? Yes, as it turns out: a ruling which spares you from the embarrassment and bother of a court appearance, but does so on the basis that you are unfit to face trial. Joe Biden has been utterly destroyed by the conclusion of the special counsel looking into his retention of classified documents from his time as vice president. He could survive the pictures of the garbage tip that is his Delaware garage, but a US president who apparently can't remember when he was vice president, nor the year he suffered the sad loss of his middle aged son? This is what the impeachment process was devised for: to ease out a president who no longer has the faculties to cope with the job but who cannot see that himself. Biden not only fails to appreciate his cognitive decline, he thinks he can do the job for another four years. His attempt to come out all guns blazing and dismiss the issue of his forgetfulness at a hasty press conference backfired when he confused Egypt with Mexico, implying that the latter has a border with the Gaza strip.

The puppet in the White House. "He ran two or three times, he never got above 1%," Donald Trump said of Joe Biden in 2019. "And then Obama came along and took him off the trash heap, and he became the vice president." It was an amusing way to insult the former vice president at the time — perhaps less so after Biden went on to win the Democratic nomination, defeat Trump, and become president. Still, the characterization rang true insofar as Barack Obama's choice of Biden as running mate in 2008 struck many people, justifiably, as an odd one. By then, Biden had for several decades been a loquacious self-promoter whose temper and plagiarism seemed to have blown any shot at the presidency he ever had. It was strange therefore to watch him find his way into the unexpected role of junior partner in a political relationship with a man young enough to be his son. By December 2008, Biden had accepted that Obama, after only four years in federal office, was more qualified for the presidency than he was. "We got this ticket in the right order," he is said to have told senior adviser Ron Klain. But as Obama's No. 2, Biden was not always a good fit.

Of Course, Biden Gets a Pass With Classified Documents He Stole as Senator. Joe Biden is getting away scot free with stealing classified documents while he was a Senator and keeping them in a garage next to the Corvette that Hunter Biden and others had access too. Can't really say I'm angry either. This was totally expected when you have a communist weaponized "justice system". [Tweets]

The Vacuity of Biden's Brain. Joe Biden is not guilty because of senility. Sure, he broke the law — the same law used to prosecute Donald Trump by Joe Biden's Justice Department. But he is an old man who is utterly incapable of remembering when he was Vice President, so there is no point in prosecuting him. That is the conclusion of Special Prosecutor Hur, who was tasked to investigate President Joe Biden in the matter of his stealing classified documents. [Tweet] First, let me be clear: I think that in both the Trump case and the Biden case, we should neither be surprised that men who were at the pinnacle of power in our government would treat classified documents differently than you or I would, and I think prosecuting them for mere possession (and not selling them) is simply stupid. What they did was wrong, but, well, they were President and VP, not a Seargent who leaked the plans to a submarine.

The Reality Behind Biden's 'Aggressive' Travel Schedule. As it becomes more and more evident that President Joe Biden is undergoing significant cognitive decline, his staff has been working to find ways to combat that narrative. The latest person charged with the unenviable task of pushing that sort of message is Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates. This week he told Politico that Biden is obviously still at the top of his game and as evidence pointed to the President's "aggressive" travel schedule. He even attempted to claim that Biden's travel schedule exceeds that of Donald Trump. The Washington Free Beacon decided to do some fact-checking of this astonishing claim and the results will likely not come as a surprise to most of you.

Joe Biden's Memory Is So Bad He Can't Remember When He Was Vice President. Thursday [2/8/2024] brought the release of a special counsel report on President Joe Biden and his handling of classified documents after leaving the vice presidency. And, boy oh boy, was it a disaster for Biden and his political allies in the media. The report went into detail on Biden's conversations with investigators and revealed just how senile the 81-year-old has become, noting that he failed to remember key dates from his personal or professional life. Not to mention perhaps the most [scathing] conclusion, that Biden is so mentally unfit that his lack of memory would be used in his defense in a potential trial.

The Editor says...
Joe Biden was already unfit for the office of President on the day he was installed in that position, and his mind has continued to deteriorate ever since. He should be in a retirement home somewhere, not the White House.

Biden's Seeing Dead People Isn't Funny, It's Dangerous. He sees dead people. Biden's mental acuity is getting worse, and that should be of HUGE concern to us all. Twice in as many days, Biden has now claimed he has seen and chatted with leaders who've been dead for years or more. We've written extensively about our concerns regarding Biden's mental health, as well as about our anger that Jill Biden and the Democrat/media complex are engaged in elder abuse so they can keep the power going. Biden's mental health issues aren't funny. They are a major concern to our domestic and national security. His mental health, and lack thereof is dangerous. World leaders whether friends or foe are watching and realize our President is not only weak, he's not all there.

Are they bragging or complaining?
Biden's own DOJ says he is an 'elderly man with a poor memory'. The Department of Justice released its long-awaited investigation into Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents Thursday, delivering a damning assessment of the president's 'diminished faculties' and limited memory. Although the report did not recommend bringing charges against the 81-year-old, it provides a cascade of damaging findings about files found in Biden's garage as well as the president's fitness for office. In interviews with investigators, Biden became muddled about the dates he was vice president and could not even remember the year in which his son Beau died.

Joe Needs Visiting Angels, Not A Second Term. We've all seen those commercials for Visiting Angels, the senior care company that sends professionals to the houses of elderly Americans to check on them and help out however they may need it. If 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue isn't already the address of one of their clients, it needs to be. The guy who lives there is sinking into the stage of dementia where he can no longer live alone and his family will soon have to have the awkward conversation every family dreads about taking away the car keys. The only difference is this senile person is the President of the United States and in desperate need of someone in his inner-orbit who cares enough about him to admit the truth and bring to an end the elder abuse we're all witnessing on a regular basis.

CNN Accidentally Reports Mental Decline Has Forced Biden Into Hiding. A member of the corporate media accidentally reported that His Fraudulency Joe Biden's obvious mental decline is so pronounced he's probably adopted the strategy of hiding from the media. During a segment on doomed CNN's doomed CNN This Morning, someone named Salena Mohsin, who identifies as Bloomberg's senior Washington correspondent, was asked about President Roomba skipping what has become a traditional presidential interview prior to the Super Bowl. "[H]im saying no to something that he's expected to do, a serious interview, he can really get his message out to an audience, just sitting, waiting for him, waiting for his message, is telling," Mohsin said, adding, "Is it because he can't handle it?" Is it because he can't handle it? What? An accurate talking point inconvenient to a Democrat on CNN?

If POTATUS Makes It to Election Night, It'll Be a Miracle. This is rumored to be the leader of the free world, and he is flat-out incoherent. [...] [T]he fools ultimately responsible are those who voted for this puppet. Avoiding mean tweets (whatever), they could cast a ballot despite the fact Biden's deterioration was well underway even when he was basement dwelling to avoid scrutiny during the campaign? As much as I personally despise this decrepit charlatan, I love my country a thousand times more. The United States cannot have a derelict corpse for a figurehead, yet here we are. [...] I'm not sure what pressure he's being subjected to because he sure spends most of his time out of the loop. But what little still remains in his protected bubble must be taking a toll. It's as if he's now degrading in real time. With every next moment in front of a microphone, we can watch the consciousness chunks crumbling off even faster.

61% Not Fooled by Media Cover-Up of Biden's Mental Decline. A clear majority see that His Fraudulency Joe Biden is in mental decline and believe (correctly) that the media are trying to cover this frightening fact up. Between January 28-30, Rasmussen Reports surveyed 934 likely voters and asked, "Do you feel like, over time, Joe Biden is getting less and less mentally sharp?" Across every gender, racial, and age line, a majority said yes. Of everyone polled, 59 percent said yes, while only 33 percent disagreed. Looking at the internals, 61 percent of men said yes, as did 57 percent of women, 63 percent of those aged 18-39, 60 percent aged 40-64, 51 percent of those over age 65, 59 percent of white people, and 58 percent of black people.

Biden tells crowd he recently met with Mitterrand, former French president who died in 1996. President Biden told a crowd in Las Vegas on Sunday that he recently met with Francois Mitterrand, the French president who has been dead for nearly 30 years. The comments came while Biden was warning of the dangers of a potential second Trump presidency, as he aimed to shore up enthusiasm ahead of Tuesday's Democratic primary in Nevada. Biden recounted a story he has told many times during his presidency, about a meeting he had with French President Emmanuel Macron during a G7 meeting in England, some months after Biden had taken over the White House.

Biden Brags About Defying Supreme Court Ruling on Student Loan Bailout, Claims Debt Cancellation is Free. Joe Biden on Sunday delivered remarks at a campaign event in Las Vegas, Nevada. As usual, Biden's speech was full of gaffes and lies. At one point Joe Biden forgot he was in Las Vegas. "It'll take you from here to Las Vegas!" Biden, while in Vegas, said of a proposed high-speed rail line. At one point Joe Biden bragged about defying the US Supreme Court's ruling on his unconstitutional student loan bailout. Biden has used a series of workarounds to circumvent the Supreme Court's decision to strike down his student loan bailout program. Last year the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against Joe Biden's student loan relief program so the Department of Education rolled out a workaround forbearance program to cancel $39 billion in student loans by counting non-payments as payments for a period of time. Only it isn't your typical forbearance program. Borrowers won't have to pay back 'missed' payments or make up the difference of 'reduced' payments. No interest will accrue on any of the missed payments.

If an Incumbent Gets 96 Percent of the Vote With 4 Percent Turnout, Does It Make a Sound? If you weren't paying close attention to political news over the weekend, you may have missed that there was a presidential primary election on Saturday. In fact, it sounds like a substantial number of voters in the state where the primary was held missed it, too. South Carolina held its Democratic primary — moved up three weeks so that it could be "first in the nation" for the Dems (if you don't count New Hampshire, which they decided not to, in an effort either to juice President Joe Biden's chances of a resounding win or reward Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC) for helping revive Biden's floundering 2020 campaign — or both). [...] Funny thing is, only about 131,000 people cast votes in the primary — out of over 3.4 million registered voters. Meaning less than four percent of the state's registered voters bothered to participate in Saturday's primary — and less than nine percent of the registered Democrats.

Is Biden Malicious, Incompetent, or Conniving? Things are becoming so strange, so surreal, so nihilistic in contemporary America that the chaos can only be deliberate. Chance, incompetence, and accident could not alone explain the series of disasters we now daily witness that are nearly destroying the country. When the ailing and non-compos-mentis president now speaks, he rarely becomes excited about Iranian or terrorist provocations. Biden seems restrained even at Russia's outlawry in Ukraine. The atrocities of Hamas now earn only measured objections from Biden. He does not seem too angered by the collapse of the border. Nor do the deaths of 100,000 Americans to imported fentanyl earn a loud trademark Biden scream. No, what earns his unchecked ire, often expressed in shouts and hysterical tones, are Donald Trump and his supporters.

War Delirium. Pity the poor president. "Joe Biden" must decide now whether to go to war with Iran or Texas. Which will it be? Or might it be both? That Governor Abbott turns out to be the Putin of the purple sage! How does he dare interfere with the orderly flow of new voters — fine people! — across that filthy little river of his? [...] The world may be a disaster these days, but the White House is a bigger disaster. Can you name the White House chief of staff? Betcha can't. Know why? He never, ever comes out and speaks to that mob in the press room. He might have to answer some difficult questions, such as: if the president's brain is switched off more than half the time, who decides what to do with that 'nuclear football' they carry around with him. Is it. . . you? By the way, the chief of staff's name is Jeff Zients. Ever heard him? Of course not. He has a page on "X". The most recent thing he posted was July 25, 2023. Good thing not much has happened since then.

Where Are Biden's Pen and Phone? President Biden wants additional authority to tackle the border crisis. He says that he's ready to shut down the border once Congress acts. That he's otherwise out of options. The New York Times reports that the president is frustrated. He feels stymied. "I've done all I can do," he said this week. Hasn't he done enough? As a result of Biden's policies, migrant crossings have reached historic levels. Border Patrol agents took into custody or processed more than 300,000 people last December — the most on record. His encouragement of asylum-seekers and illegal immigrants affects not only border states such as Texas, but also blue states such as Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York. Immigration is rising to the top of voters' priorities. All voters, not just Republicans. And these voters blame President Biden — rightly — for the mess we are in. Cheeky, then, for Biden to turn around and say that he's immobilized by congressional inaction.

Speaker Johnson Says What We Are All Thinking: Joe Biden Isn't the Guy in Charge. On Friday, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson (R-LA) mused about the possibility of something that is becoming more and more apparent with each passing day: Joe Biden isn't the guy in charge in Washington. [...] Whoever is making these policy decisions, it's obvious they don't have the best interests of Americans at heart. Speaker Johnson blames the policies on "staff around him," although I've speculated in the past that Jill Biden is enjoying playing Edith Wilson to Joe's Woodrow. But whoever is pulling these strings on the ever-more-impaired President is claiming that the Chief Executive, somehow, lacks the power to execute.

Speaker Johnson says Biden not 'allowed' by staff to take action on border. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) speculated Friday that President Biden's staff is keeping him from taking executive action to stem the flow of migrants on the southern border. "He knows that he has the authority. We've documented it for him. I've read to him the law myself — to the president. Read him the provisions of the law and said, 'Mr. President, please take action,'" Johnson said on Fox Business on Friday morning. "I don't think he's allowed to do it. I'm not sure Joe Biden is actually making these decisions. I think it's staff around him, and they're pushing him to hold the — or to keep the border open," Johnson said. Johnson has been pressing Biden for weeks to take executive action on border and migration policy — including by reinstating the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy and restarting construction of the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border — and arguing he does not need new authority from Congress to do so.

Biden's 'Obsessed' with Morning Joe, Calls Scarborough 'Often,' Vents About Media. Alex Thompson, a White House reporter for Axios, has a new scoop titled "Inside Biden's obsession with 'Morning Joe'." Thompson explored how "Biden's years-long love of MSNBC's staple morning show" affects how the White House runs — and who Biden listens to. It might also explain why MSNBC added an hour to the show.

What an interesting idea: A cable TV channel with a target audience of one person. That doesn't sound very profitable, unless the one viewer is the POTUS.

Joe Biden and Sons. [Scroll down] Joe Biden clearly shows ambivalence and conflict about the U.S. military and the use of military power. Joe Biden had presided with Barack Obama over the premature troop reduction in Iraq before the rise of ISIS there. Joe Biden opposed the surge of U.S. troops that helped quell ISIS in Iraq. Biden opposed the raid to get Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan. He said it was too dangerous for the troops. [...] Joe Biden's ambivalent but powerful psychological protective and loving merger with his beloved sons results in a tragic flaw and psychological blind spot in his political decision-making. Biden's unresolved grief causes him to blur his son Beau's life with our U.S. troops. Joe Biden's rigidity, defective empathy, and signs of early cognitive decline render him unfit for decision-making regarding protecting our troops from real danger.

Biden's job approval drops to 38% as border worries rise. President Joe Biden's approval rating declined in January as Americans worried about the economy and immigration while the Democrat ramps up his reelection campaign, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday. Only 38% of poll respondents said they approved of Biden's performance as president, down from 40% in December.

Biden Makes Remark Revealing He Has No Idea Who the Sitting President Is. I've written about Joe Biden's disastrous trip to South Carolina. It was jam-packed with incoherence and weirdness, including Biden going to a black barbershop, pandering, and making a weird comment to a man about how if Biden had him blocking for him, he could have been an All-American. [...] But there's one more comment that he made about Trump that is very concerning that just was reported. As he was attacking Trump, who seems to live rent-free in Joe's head, he seemed to have no idea who the sitting president was as he slurred through this comment. [Tweet with video clip] Biden claimed that Trump said he wanted to see the economy "crash" this year, "A sitting president [untintelligible]." Apparently, Biden thinks Trump is the sitting president. Trump was worried about the economy that Biden has messed up and driven into inflation. The economy under Trump was banging prior to the pandemic, but it's been crushing with rampant inflation and high interest rates under Biden.

A political speech at an all-black church:
Biden Lies at Pulpit About His Role in Civil Rights and Attending Black Churches. Joe Biden on Sunday continued to pander to the black community in Columbia, South Carolina ahead of the state's Democrat primary set for February 3. 81-year-old Biden participated in a political event at St. John the Baptist Church on Sunday [1/28/2024]. He brazenly lied from the pulpit about his role in the civil rights movement and his history of attending black churches. This is just weeks after he lied about 'starting the civil rights movement' during a stump speech at a black church in Charleston.

Chinese Firm Sent Biden Enterprise $3 Million As 'Thank You' For Work When Joe Biden Held Office, Comer Says. Hunter Biden's former business associate Rob Walker confirmed Chinese firm CEFC wired him $3 million as a "thank you" payment for work during Joe Biden's vice presidency, according to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer. Walker, a key figure in the Biden family's Chinese and Romanian business dealings, testified before Congress Friday about the relationship the Bidens had with both CEFC and Romanian oligarch Gabriel Popoviciu, Comer said Friday night. [Tweet] "Today's interview confirmed Hunter Biden and his associates' work with the Chinese government-linked energy company began over a year before Joe Biden left the vice presidency, but the Bidens and their associates held off being paid by the Chinese while Joe Biden was in office," Comer said in a press release. "The Chinese company paid Hunter Biden and his associates $3 million shortly after Joe Biden left office as a 'thank you' for the work they did while Joe Biden was in office. Members of the Biden family received payments from the Chinese deal even though they did not work on it," Comer added.

We Don't Have a President. Joe Biden is nominally our president, but he is manifestly incapable of discharging the duties of that office. Opinions vary as to who our "real" president is. Some say it is Barack Obama. Some say it is Jill Biden. Others describe a network of political influence within the Congress and the purported "Biden Administration." But one thing we know for sure is that our chief executive is not the pitiful shell of a man known as Joe Biden, who at his best, decades ago, was dumb, and now is in la-la-land: [Tweet with video clip]

The Editor says...
Yes, we have a president. We just don't know who it is. But whoever it is, nobody voted for him or her to be the president.

Is Biden Poison-Pilling Trump? Biden is a disgrace. No other president in history has done more to cripple a country than the former senator from Delaware: devaluing the dollar, raising energy prices, forcing people to stay home, firing workers who showed up because they wouldn't take a government-mandated experimental vaccine, causing massive instability in Ukraine through failed diplomacy, leaving thousands of men, women, and children behind in Afghanistan, who, because of his failed policy, now live under tyranny and death. Biden's failure to protect Israel by doing business with Iran cannot be forgotten. His encouragement of sanctions of immoral health practices — even encouraging and supporting genital mutilation among "trans" youth — is criminal. Pandering to every progressive pipe dream, no matter the cost, including the inefficient desire to be carbon-neutral without any credible science or benefit to support his goals, is psychotic. All of this adds up to a country that has been mortally wounded, with blow after blow of egregious and sociopathic leadership. This is the legacy of the Biden presidency.

Leaving stink bombs for the next president is exactly what Obama did. This is just more evidence that Obama is still the acting president in 2024.

Bill Gates Set Up 20 Shell Companies to Hide Purchase of $113 Million of Nebraska Farmland. A glance at federal records shows the series of Nebraska farms listed as foreign-owned, though there's no country attached and no hint that these farms with unassuming names might be related. Willowdale Farms, Merrick County Farms, Dove Haven Ranch, Champion Valley Farm, Schroder Family Farms and many more are concentrated in northeast Nebraska but spread to the southeast corner and west nearly to Wyoming. In Nebraska's business records, they have one similarity: Each farm's office address leads to a single-story brick building in the St. Louis suburbs, an office park housing a dentist, lawyers and, until recently, a farmland investment startup called AgCoA. For years, AgCoA was owned by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, a government-owned group managing the retirement funds of 21 million Canadians. But in 2017, the Canadian board decided to offload a half-billion dollar chunk of its American farmland portfolio — including all 22,830 acres of its Nebraska land. The buyer of those unassuming-sounding Nebraska farms wasn't publicly listed. Until now, the financial details of the transaction and the gargantuan loan he's taken out against it have remained publicly unknown. The buyer's name: Bill Gates.

Forget Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom — Dems' Choice to Replace Biden is Nikki Haley. President Joe Biden is clearly declining cognitively and physically, based on his garbled speech, frequent falls, disorientation on stage, and inappropriate behavior, especially toward young girls. Voters agree. In the Democrat stronghold of New York City, 62 percent of New Yorkers believe Biden is unfit to serve another term. So, who takes his place? Not Vice President Kamala Harris, whose approval rating, "Is a 2024 problem," according to Newsweek.

Hunter's Painting Foray Had All The Classic Earmarks Of A Biden Family Influence-Peddling Operation. Hunter Biden's "Sugar Bro," Kevin Morris, testified before the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees on Wednesday. A readout of Morris' testimony, when considered in tandem with the testimony provided last week by Hunter Biden's gallerist, suggests Hunter was setting up another front for the family influence-peddling racket when the plan collapsed due to public scrutiny. On Thursday, House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer issued a statement following the committee's transcribed interview of Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris. In his press release, Comer revealed that Hollywood producer Lanette Phillips introduced Morris to Hunter Biden during a campaign event at her Los Angeles home for Joe Biden in the winter of 2019. One week later, Phillips called Morris to discuss what Morris apparently framed as an "entertainment" issue. Morris later visited Hunter at his home in L.A., according to the press release. According to Comer, Morris testified he began providing money to Hunter Biden in January 2020. Then on Feb. 7, 2020, Morris emailed Hunter's advisers and tax accountants, writing, "We are under considerable risk personally and politically to get the returns in." Less than two weeks later, Hunter Biden filed his long-overdue 2017 and 2018 tax returns, although he didn't pay his hefty tax bill at the time. Around Oct. 18, 2021, Morris paid some $2 million in overdue taxes for the president's son.

The many faces of Kevin Morris, Hunter Biden's financial patron. Morris was largely unknown to most people until he emerged as the Democratic donor who reportedly paid Hunter Biden millions to handle his unpaid taxes and maintain his lavish lifestyle. The Hollywood lawyer and producer portrayed himself as a good Samaritan on a biblical scale — a good man who simply found a desperate stranger on the road and gave him more than $5 million. His counsel, Bryan M. Sullivan stated that "Hunter is not only a client of Kevin's, he is his friend and there is no prohibition against helping a friend in need, despite the inability of these Republican chairmen and their allies to imagine such a thing." The statement captures the problem for Morris. It is increasingly hard to determine what Morris was at any given moment: Democratic donor, lawyer, friend. Indeed, that problem that some of us have raised for months.

Hunter Biden to Sit for Closed-Door Deposition, Along with 5 Associates. Hunter Biden will sit for a closed-door interview on February 28, along with five Biden family associates at various dates, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) and Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) announced Thursday. The announcement came as a surprise to some Republicans. Last week, the chairmen went through procedural hurdles to prepare for a House vote to hold Hunter in contempt of Congress for failing to sit for the deposition. Hunter proposed last week to sit for the deposition if Congress reissued a subpoena, arguing the prior subpoenas "are legally invalid" because the impeachment inquiry "did not yet exist when the subpoenas were issued."

Four Years After Biden 'Laptop From Hell' Falsely Labeled 'Misinformation,' DOJ Admits It's Real. Nearly four years after the [scathing] evidence of Biden family corruption on Hunter Biden's laptop was disclosed in 2020, President Joe Biden's Department of Justice admitted in a court filing on Tuesday that the Mac and its contents are real. If you've been following this story since it broke in October 2020, you know there was never any true reason to doubt The New York Post's reporting or the word of the Delaware computer repair shop owner that the abandoned Mac belonged to Hunter. Yet truth was no defense. The Post was quickly banned from social media for spreading "disinformation" — a decision based on actual disinformation — and dozens of U.S. intelligence officials rushed to back the censorship. So did Joe Biden. The DOJ's confirmation the laptop's contents came from Hunter arrives years after complicit media outlets quietly admitted the truth about the computer in 2022, and even longer after conservative media verified the laptop's authenticity ahead of 2020 election day.

Bar Complaint Filed Against Kevin Morris for Financially Aiding Hunter Biden. America First Legal on Tuesday filed a California bar complaint against Hunter Biden's lawyer, Kevin Morris, for allegedly violating "both the text of the Rules of Professional Conduct and the well-established norms of the legal profession" of the California Bar Association. Morris, Hunter's so-called "sugar brother," recently emerged as a main character in the House impeachment inquiry's probe into the Biden family: [...] Morris' financial aid to Hunter "is expressly prohibited by State Bar of California Rule 1.8.5(a)," America First Legal's complaint contends. The rule is "intended to prevent the abuses which were criminalized under the principles of champerty and maintenance," the legal defense fund argued. "Yet Mr. Morris now appears to be representing Hunter Biden, thus risking violation of the attorney-client relationship prescribed by the Rules," the organization stated.

Report: Hunter Biden's 'Art Dealer' Called Joe Biden and Met With Him at the White House. Things keep looking worse for poor, embattled Hunter Biden. We already knew that Hunter's art customers were basically Biden donors, but according to new reports, Hunter's art dealer called Joe Biden and even met with him at the White House. The Biden White House claimed that there were all sorts of ethics measures in place to avoid the appearance of any corruption but it now looks like that was a total lie. Surprise!

Art dealer told Congress that Joe Biden called and met him while he sold Hunter Biden's paintings. The art dealer who sold Hunter Biden's paintings told Congress that President Joe Biden both called and met him at the White House as he was pitching Hunter's artwork and that the first son also made an unusual request to be informed about who bought his pieces, according to testimony that directly undercuts the White House narrative on the sales. The Biden White House repeatedly told the public that Hunter Biden's art sales were covered by an ethics agreement to ensure they were arms-length and that the first family — Hunter included — was blinded to the identity of buyers. But George Berges, owner of the prestigious Berges art galleries based in New York and Berlin that sold Hunter Biden's painting from 2020 to 2023, told congressional impeachment investigators that the first son likely knew the identity of 70% of the buyers — the largest who were Democrat donors — and that Hunter Biden's first contract made an unusual request when the relationship started.

CNN Iowa Entrance Poll: 68% Believe Joe Biden Didn't Legitimately Win Election. Sixty-eight percent of Iowan caucusgoers do not believe President Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 election, while 30 percent think he did, a CNN entrance poll found Monday evening. The poll also asked respondents if former President Donald Trump is fit for the presidency, even if convicted of a crime. Sixty-four percent said he was, while 34 percent said "no." The top issue for Republican caucusgoers was immigration (40 percent), followed by the economy (35 percent), foreign policy (11 percent), and abortion (11 percent).

Biden's Latest Remarks on Economy Show He Has No Idea What He Is Talking About. Joe Biden has horrible approval ratings when it comes to the economy. That's put the Biden team in a quandary as to what to do when the media asks them about this fact. They've claimed it's just bad messaging — that Americans just don't understand what's going on. That of course is both presumptuous and insulting, acting like Americans are stupid and don't understand when they are paying more for everything.

Hunter Biden [Appeared in] Congress To Get B-Roll For His Damage-Control Documentary. Hunter Biden made a 10-minute surprise appearance before the House Oversight Committee Wednesday before dramatically departing when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene attempted to question him. At Hunter's side throughout the ordeal was his lawyer, also known as his "sugar brother," Kevin Morris. Morris has lent Hunter millions of dollars over the last few years and is currently producing a puff documentary about Hunter. Some theorized that Hunter's hearing appearance meant to dissuade lawmakers from holding him in contempt of Congress. As Greene pointed out on X, however, Hunter's appearance only accents that he has refused to comply with House and Senate deposition subpoenas related to the alleged Biden bribery scandal. Hunter's noncompliance is why representatives ultimately voted to hold the president's son in contempt yesterday.

WH Counsel Warns Biden to Stop Bringing His Big Donors to Oval Office. President Joe Biden has changed the way he gives White House tours to some of his biggest donors, and he did so on advice of counsel. That, of course, strongly implies that the way the president had been conducting such tours in the past violated the law — a point left-leaning Axios seemed to overlook when it reported on the changes Wednesday. Unnamed "people familiar with the matter" told Axios for its report that, while Biden continues to host donors at the White House, he has now restricted those visits to certain parts of the president's residence. According to the outlet, the visits are designed to calm anxious donors who may doubt the president's ability to beat rival Donald Trump, 77, should the former president become the official Republican nominee in 2024 as seems increasingly likely.

Republicans vote to advance Hunter Biden contempt of Congress citation following his made-for-TV 'publicity stunt'. Republicans have voted to recommend Hunter Biden officially be held in contempt of Congress for refusing to sit for a closed-door deposition as part of their impeachment investigation into his father Joe. The House Judiciary Committee was first to vote to approve the contempt resolution 23-14 along party lines, teeing up a full floor vote as early as next week. If that gets cleared, Hunter's case would be referred to the Biden-led Department of Justice for prosecution and he could face up to a year in prison if convicted.

Committees Vote to Hold Hunter Biden in Contempt of Congress for Refusing to Testify. The U.S. House Judiciary and Oversight committees held Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress today for refusing to testify weeks ago after receiving a subpoena. The Judiciary party-line vote was 23-14; Oversight's was 25-11. The votes send the motion to the full House.

Hunter seems to think the fix is in at Dad's Department of Justice. This president's son, who has absolutely no business skills and typically is not even sober, has collected tens of millions from foreign governments and businessmen. Some of that money has found its way through labyrinth shell corporations and into the hands of the "Big Guy." Some of it has not found its way into the hands of the Internal Revenue Service, though it should have. Republicans want to learn more about this. Or as the New York Times would put it, "Republicans pounced." That's because the media which back in the days of journalism would itself pounce to investigate such suspicious activity was instead still navel-gazing about the laptop computer aka "Russian disinformation."

Hunter Biden unexpectedly shows up to House contempt hearing, quickly storms out in chaotic Capitol Hill scene. Hunter Biden made a surprise — and brief — appearance Wednesday at a House Oversight Committee hearing where members were debating a resolution holding him in contempt of Congress. The first son, 53, showed up with his lawyer Abbe Lowell and "sugar brother" Kevin Morris and sat in the front row of the hearing room, causing an uproar among the panel's Republicans, before leaving after about 10 minutes. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) tore into Hunter Biden during her remarks, calling him "epitome of white privilege." "My first question is: Who bribed Hunter Biden to be here today?" Mace began. "You are the epitome of white privilege — coming into the Oversight Committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed. What are you afraid of? [...]" Mace added: "I think Hunter Biden should be arrested right here, right now, and go straight to jail."

Hunter Biden Knew His Art Buyers. Ethical 'Guardrails' Were a Scam. How much would you pay for a piece of "art" created by a political figure who had no history or experience in the creative arts but seemingly just picked up some paint and canvases and began splashing things around? Well, if you really liked it and had a lot of money to burn, it might be a fair amount. And the presumably unknown "artist" would likely feel quite grateful. But if the "artist" in question was a known, influential political figure who might feel some gratitude toward you in the future, the rest of us would probably have some questions. These are the issues that have swirled around First Son Hunter Biden's supposed "art sales" from the beginning. But he racked up a lot of money selling his scribblings in the midst of his well-known financial troubles. We were assured that protections were in place ensuring that all of the sales were legitimate and not politically connected. Did anyone really believe that? A new report reveals that it was all a scam.

Joe Biden's Scary Speech on Jan. 6. Last Friday, ahead of the anniversary of Jan. 6, President Joe Biden gave a speech near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, to kick off his 2024 campaign. [...] Politically speaking, the purpose of the speech was clear. Given that Biden has among the lowest favorability numbers ever recorded for a sitting president, he cannot make the election about his achievements. Because he has none that warrant his reelection. In every way, he has made America a worse country. He has terribly damaged the economy — increased an already unsustainable national debt; changed an energy-independent and energy-exporting country into an energy dependent and energy-importing one. [...] He has done terrible damage to the most important freedom — freedom of speech. Among other things, his administration worked with Big Tech before and since the 2020 election to censor political speech. He has created the first large set of political prisoners in American history — hundreds, soon perhaps thousands, of Americans sentenced to prison for merely entering the Capitol, or for just being present on the Capitol grounds, on Jan. 6. He has weaponized the Department of Justice against his political opponents, and is overseeing the prosecution of an ex-president and political rival for the first time in American history. From his first day in office, he has stoked racial tension in America. His inaugural address was the most hate-filled and divisive inaugural address in American history. He has so demoralized the American military that recruitment levels are at their lowest ever.

Hunter Biden knew most of his art buyers despite sham 'ethics' plan — contradicting the White House: dealer. Hunter Biden's Manhattan art dealer said Tuesday that he never worked with the White House on an ethics pact to ensure buyers would remain anonymous — and added that the top purchasers were known to the first son, contrary to prior claims from President Biden's aides. Georges Bergès also revealed that in addition to the lack of supposed anti-corruption safeguards he actually met and spoke on the phone with the president while repping his son, the House Oversight Committee said in a readout of a closed-door deposition. The art dealer testified that Hunter, 53, knew who bought about 70% of his art — including Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, who obtained works by the first son both before and after scoring a prestigious presidential appointment.

J.P. Morgan Analyst Predicts Timing of When Biden Will Drop Out, How He Will Be Replaced. One of J.P. Morgan strategist Michael Cembalest's predictions on his list of "Ten Surprises for 2024" is getting a lot of attention beyond just folks interested in the market and investing. It's because Cembalest's third predicted "surprise" is that Joe Biden will pull out of the election between Super Tuesday and November, for health reasons. Super Tuesday is the day that you have a lot of the states holding primaries and caucuses. This year, that's March 5. Cembalest says that after Biden steps down due to health, the Democratic National Committee will name a replacement to whom to pass the torch.

The Democrats Can't Disgorge Biden. The only elected incumbent ever denied the nomination of his party for reelection was President Franklin Pierce, and that occurred long before the modern primary system reduced party conventions to coronation ceremonies. [...] Now the Democrats are stuck with an incumbent whose poll numbers are comparable to those of the hapless Jimmy Carter. The similarities between Biden and Carter are remarkable. Carter's feckless foreign policy led to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and Biden's obvious weakness prompted Putin to invade Ukraine. Carter abandoned Iran to the Islamist theocracy of Ayatollah Khomeini and Biden abandoned Afghanistan to the tender mercies of the Taliban. Domestically, both Carter and Biden gave us high inflation, high interest rates, and economic pessimism. Both pledged to restore unity and end political turmoil. In this regard, Biden's record is even worse than Carter's.

Biden recalls attending funerals of cops killed on Jan 6 — crickets from 'fact checkers'. President Joe Biden delivered his big speech to mark the third anniversary of the January 6, 2021 chaos at the Capitol and as the teller of tall tales is prone to do, he embellished a key detail. On Friday, the octogenarian demagogue uncorked his ugly rant for a small crowd near historic Valley Forge, PA, a location chosen for its Revolutionary War connection at a time when his regime is persecuting GOP frontrunner Donald J. Trump and his supporters like England's King George once did to American patriots. During the 30 minute diatribe, Biden claimed that he and First Lady Jill Biden attended the funerals of police officers who were killed during the so-called "insurrection" against the government.

Joe Biden: the medications and vacations aren't working. It's becoming increasingly hard to tell Biden's normal, daily level of confusion from confusion worthy of more than passing mention. [...] Jill Biden is Joe's constant companion, particularly when it comes time to guide him off stage in the hope of avoiding more video of him trying to shake hands or speak with invisible people or haplessly stumbling in circles, trying to find a way to exit the stage. [...] He's lost more or less constantly, even after two weeks of vacation keeping him out of the public eye. [...] It's becoming increasingly obvious the medications Biden is taking to have even an hour or two of relative lucidity aren't working as well as they once did.

Biden's Back on Vacation and the Confusion Looks Very Bad. A couple of days ago, I wrote about how Joe Biden hadn't had anything that even resembled work on his schedule in about two weeks, that he spent most of that time on vacation at either Camp David or in St. Croix. That was consistent with his whole time in office where he's spent almost 40 percent of his time on vacation. But I did note that he would have one thing on his schedule for Jan. 5 — trying to deflect from his failures by talking about the Jan. 6 riot of three years ago, bashing his opponent former President Donald Trump, and demonizing "MAGA" Americans. It was hilariously presumptuous as he appeared to try to compare himself to George Washington and braving the winter at Valley Forge, which he visited before the speech. What was also hysterical was that he had planned to give the speech on Saturday, Jan. 6. But he shitted it back to Jan. 5 — because of anticipated bad weather. Some "George Washington." [...] But then, after he finished his speech, after he shouted, "I understand POWER!" and his wife had to escort him from the stage, he was off for yet more vacation. [Tweet]

Burisma lawyer finally registers as a foreign agent in the US. A lawyer just registered as a foreign agent for work he conducted eight years ago for Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, when Hunter Biden was on the board. The disclosure raises questions about whether Hunter Biden could face FARA charges in the future that could complicate his father President Joe Biden's re-election run. The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) requires law firms and lobbyists to disclose work representing the interests of foreign clients.

Joe Biden Does Absolutely Nothing All Day. Bill O'Reilly analyzes Biden's 'light schedule' and examines a report that claims the President is on vacation a third of the time. [Video clip]

Contempt Charges for Hunter. Say, whatever happened to all of those investigations into Hunter Biden and the affairs of Biden Inc.? Before the Christmas break, it sounded like the House Oversight Committee really had its teeth into some juicy material and the walls were closing in on the First Son. As it turns out, the work has continued and progress is reportedly being made. Following Hunter's dramatic press conference where he refused to provide testimony after receiving a congressional subpoena, the committee is moving forward with the next steps, the first of which will be a vote in the committee to hold the younger Biden in contempt of Congress. Assuming that passes, the measure would move to the floor for a full vote.

The New Rules Dictate That Biden Be Struck From the Ballot With the 25th Amendment. The 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides for removing a president who is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." That describes President Dustpuppet to a T. Of course, the amendment also spells out the players who are authorized to make this decision and the process by which it must be done, but such considerations are part of the Old Rules. Remember New Rule #1: Expediency. We've recently learned that a single actor can unilaterally invoke any clause or phrase she cherry-picks from the founding document, skip over the inconvenient bits, declare a candidate unfit, and strike him from the ballot. This is what Maine's childish Secretary of State did: [Video clip] In Colorado, the state's left-wing Supreme Court did the same thing, unilaterally declaring that Trump had engaged in an insurrection — even though he's never been charged with the crime, much less convicted of it. And so, if this new rule is allowed to stand, every single state that has even a single conservative official with any say in the matter must declare Biden unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office and strike his name from the ballot.

Our Razor's Edge. The Bidens now risk exposure to criminal charges of multimillion-dollar tax fraud, perjury, influence selling, and bribery as congressional committees and a special prosecutor unravel years of tangled-up quid pro quos. A newly indicted Hunter remains reckless and unpredictable. He continues to publicly blame his mounting legal problems on everyone and everything other than his own selfish excesses. Hunter deliberately involves his family and may even bring down his own father. His tax lawyers have previously threatened to call President Biden to testify on his behalf under oath. He continues to court public scandal by hawking amateurish "representational" paintings to the quid-pro-quo wealthy and wannabes wishing for clout with the White House. His laptop messages reveal a prodigal son angry that his bagman services were never fully appreciated by his familial beneficiaries. Hunter's wayward laptop is a felonious trove of drug-addled, illicit Petronian excess and sex, interspliced with his self-incriminating family communications on the distributions of pay-for-play payoffs.

Joe Biden and the left are putting the rule of law at risk. President Biden will portray his re-election campaign as a crusade to save American democracy. But Biden has ravaged Americans' rights and liberties ever since he took his oath of office almost three years ago. Biden presumes he is entitled to force Americans to pay any price to buy votes for his re-election. Promising to wipe out student debt helped Biden win the 2020 presidential election. In August last year, Biden announced a $500 billion cancellation of federal student loans, boosting Democratic candidates in the midterm congressional elections. But the Supreme Court ruled in June that Biden's loan cancellation was an illegal power grab.

Biden's Campaign Message 2024. Biden makes appointments, his vice president, his SCOTUS pick, etc., based on the anti-American principle of skin color, gender, and sexual orientation instead of picking best person for the job, leading to predictable disasters. Biden engages in disturbing behavior towards children and little girls, even touching or sniffing them. Biden ignores SCOTUS rulings, e.g., that forgiving student debt without congressional consent is unconstitutional, but repeatedly tries to do so anyways to buy votes of young people with taxpayer dollars. Biden regularly speaks gibberish and needs to be led around like a baby, etc. For these and for many other reasons, Biden will need an outrageous Orwellian strategy for his 2024 campaign. [...] Biden 2024 campaign is, therefore, going to be based on a "hate Trump" message grounded largely on their comical January 6 insurrection myth, comical because the FBI said there was "scant evidence" the Capitol attack was an organized effort to overturn the 2020 election, which did not stop the Democrat's media poodles from describing it as an "insurrection" for years.

There's a New Wrinkle in the Impeachment Investigation of Joe Biden. Do you remember how White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre let a detail slip during a White House press briefing that Joe Biden spoke with Hunter before he defied the subpoena and knew what he was going to say? "Look," she said, "as you know, Hunter Biden is a private citizen. And so, I certainly would refer you to his representatives. Look, you know, the president was certainly familiar with what his son was going to say. And I think what you saw was from the heart from his son." Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley called Jean-Pierre's admission a "breathtaking mistake." "If this latest allegation is true, the president was speaking with his son about committing a potentially criminal act of contempt. Hunter was refusing to give testimony focused not on his own role but on his father's potential role in the alleged influence peddling. The House can pursue evidence on that conversation and how the president may have supported his son's effort," Turley explained.

House GOP Floats Biden Impeachment Over 'Conspiracy To Obstruct' Hunter Deposition. House Republicans suggested on Wednesday that President Joe Biden could face an impeachment offense related to his son Hunter Biden's refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena. Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) said in a letter demanding a host of documents and communications by January 10 that their committees are "compelled to examine as part of our impeachment inquiry whether the President engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct a proceeding of Congress." In their letter, addressed to White House Counsel Edward Siskel, the chairmen highlighted how White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that President Biden was "familiar" with what Hunter Biden was going to say at a mid-December press event outside the U.S. Capitol.

Our American Nero. Nero fiddled while Rome burned but Presidentish Biden does all kinds of good ole boy fiddling while he destroys America beyond recognition. Biden fiddles with the truth, fiddles us soon into war with Russia and China, fiddles with his bank accounts, fiddles with your wealth and worst of all, fiddles with children. According to the polls and what most Americans already know, he is the worst President in United States history. Centuries from now, historians will write about him as the man who dismantled America while unable to read from a teleprompter or ride a bike. Fiddling with the truth is his specialty. Before stumbling away from a lectern, he blames others for precisely what he is guilty of. He obfuscates that the Orange Man is a Nazi dictator, when he himself is an actual dictator who ignores Congress and the Supreme Court. He has canceled $5 Billion in Federal Student Aid for 80,000 borrowers despite an order from the Supreme Court. He decrees that we must buy EV automobiles, cease using gas stoves, and must not drill for oil while emboldening and enriching our enemies such as Iran. All without Congressional approval.

Contents of Biden's pseudonym emails tops Comer's list of material impeachment inquiry needs to obtain. The contents of emails sent by President Biden using pseudonym accounts is the top item House Oversight Committee James Comer (R-Ky.) says investigators handling the impeachment inquiry into the president need to obtain. Biden, 81, used multiple email aliases — including "robinware456," "JRBware" and "RobertLPeters" — between 2010 and 2019 to communicate with his son Hunter Biden and Eric Schwerin, the first son's former business partner, according to the House Ways and Means Committee. The White House, however, has only released 14 of about 82,000 pages worth of Biden's secret vice presidential emails, according to the Kentucky Republican, who said knowing what's in the rest of them is his top priority when Congress returns from recess in the new year.

Biden Heads Back to DC From Vacation at Camp David; Will Leave for Another Week-long Holiday on the US Virgin Islands Tomorrow. Joe Biden on Tuesday returned to Washington DC from a vacation at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Catoctin Mountain Park in Maryland. Because of the bad weather, Joe Biden returned to DC via his presidential motorcade, not Marine One. [Tweet with video clip] Biden and his family of grifters will leave for another holiday in the US Virgin Islands on Wednesday afternoon. It is unclear where Joe Biden will be staying during his holiday in St. Croix to celebrate the New Year.

Do feds have FISA evidence on Bidens? Court memos suggest they might, and Congress wants it. Ever since Hunter Biden was captured in a recording calling his client, Patrick Ho, "the [...] spy chief of China," questions have swirled around the Chinese official who headed a U.S.-based think-tank that worked to advance the interests of CEFC China Energy and its now-vanished founder, Ye Jianming. Court records from Ho's case reviewed by Just the News show the FBI and Justice Department gathered evidence under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) from around the time when Hunter Biden and his uncle James were dealing with CEFC officials, including Ho. Joe Biden also met twice with CEFC officials: once as vice president and once as a private citizen, according to statements made by a family friend to the FBI.

Who Is Actually Running Biden's Potemkin Presidency? A December 22 news story in The Hill, a liberal media outlet that focuses on Congress, provides a huge hint that, despite the appearances and official claims to the contrary, Joe Biden isn't the man in charge of the White House, that his is a Potemkin Presidency. The headline proclaims, "Biden Kept at Distance from McConnell in Border Talks." Then the lede of the news story says Biden "has kept a distance from Senate negotiations on a border deal critical to securing congressional aid to Ukraine, even as GOP lawmakers repeatedly called for him to enter the talks." Catch the subtle difference there? The headline is passive, while the lede is active. The lede clearly suggests Biden himself is why he has not been involved in the much-ballyhooed negotiations between his administration, Senate Democrats, and Senate Republicans seeking an end-of-the-year deal on stopping the rising flood of illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. at its Southern border with Mexico.

Lesley Wolf Refused To Explain [her] Order To Remove Joe Biden From [a] Search Warrant In Hunter Biden Case. Former Assistant U.S Attorney for the District of Delaware Lesley Wolf did not tell lawmakers why she protected Joe Biden from a planned search warrant ahead of the 2020 presidential election. Wolf testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Dec. 14 and declined to discuss an email she sent in August 2020 instructing FBI Agent Joshua Wilson to take Joe Biden's name off a draft search warrant during the Hunter Biden investigation, according to a transcript reviewed by the Daily Caller. [...] IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler have accused Wolf of giving Hunter Biden special treatment by slow-walking and shutting down investigative steps, such as searching Joe Biden's Delaware guest house and Hunter Biden's northern Virginia storage locker. She recently left the DOJ in the wake of the IRS whistleblower accusations. Wolf similarly refused to address a memo written by Shapley detailing how she ignored potential campaign finance issues surrounding Hunter Biden's financier Kevin Morris.

Another Biden Scandal Might Be Brewing. In a new letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, a bipartisan group of lawmakers from both chambers of Congress is demanding answers regarding U.S. companies that were apparently allowed by the Biden administration to export technology to entities in adversarial foreign countries — entities with products currently being used in attacks against America's international partners. It's not news that the world has become an increasingly dangerous place since President Biden took office. Russia invaded Ukraine as Biden insisted his sanctions would deter Putin's ambitions. Israel was attacked in a bloody slaughter carried out by Iran-backed Hamas terrorists. Other patrons of Tehran's bloodthirsty regime have managed to block some 60 percent of the world's shipping traffic from transiting the Red Sea. China continues to harass Taiwan and threatens the planes and vessels of the U.S. military and its allies in the region.

Biden's Failure to Stop Border 'Invasion' Is Impeachable Offense, GOP House Member Says. President Joe Biden's unwillingness to stop the border crisis is an impeachable offense that eclipses the issues surrounding his ties to his family's alleged influence peddling, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee says. "Just on the border alone, we have a commander in chief that is operating in high crimes and misdemeanors because he is not securing our homeland," Rep. Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., told The Daily Signal. "That — even aside from the bribery element — the Constitution sets up those three elements of treason, bribery, and high crimes and misdemeanors for impeachment." The House voted last week to formalize an impeachment inquiry into Biden as three of its committees — Oversight and Accountability, Ways and Means, and Judiciary — investigate allegations of corruption and influence peddling.

The $1 Million Hunter Biden's Chinese Business Partner Patrick Ho Wired Him in 2017 [is the] Subject of [a] Separate Bribery Investigation. Recall that in 2017 the the FBI raided the offices and intercepted the communications of Chi Ping "Patrick" Ho, a Chinese national suspected of espionage who was a business partner with Hunter and Joe Biden's slimy brother Jim Biden. Patrick Ho was later put on trial and found guilty of bribing government officials around the world to advance the interests of the Chinese Communist Party. The crooked Department of Justice hid Hunter Biden's connections with Patrick Ho during his trial and even redacted Hunter Biden's name from the evidence documents.

2007 FBI Investigation Resurfaces — A Biden Is Clearly Heard on the Tapes. Out of all the topics the Joe Biden White House didn't want to see in Sunday's Washington Post, this had to be up there on the list. The capital city's newspaper of record published recordings Sunday of President Joe Biden's brother, James, engaged in scoring off his famous last name during the late 1990s. The fact that the recordings were made by FBI investigators couldn't have made things easier in the Biden household either. The Post article was headlined "James Biden's dealmaking caught on FBI tapes in unrelated bribery probe," and just the words alone had to be unsettling at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Is the Bubble You Live In Making You Dumb? Perhaps, the answer is that a significant portion of the population live in a bubble of complete ignorance of current reality. They have not read any economic indicators that report highest inflation levels in decades. They have not seen any of the many, many videos of the president sniffing little girls' hair and touching them inappropriately. (Heads up, people — these videos are all on YouTube.) They have not listened to the reports that confirm that the entire Biden family are as corrupt as the fictional Corleone family in The Godfather only the Bidens get their money from China and the Ukraine. The millions of illegals that this administration has allowed to enter the country have not invaded their neighborhood yet so they still think the Biden administration is securing our borders. I can only imagine what it must be inside that magic bubble that these low-information Americans live in.

We Are Well Beyond Hypocrisy. Donald Trump was impeached because he accurately accused the members of the Ukrainian government of paying Hunter Biden, with his zero fossil fuel expertise, an astronomical sum to serve on the Burisma board — as the costly quid that earned the lucrative quo from his dad Vice President Joe Biden. No one now denies that Joe Biden got prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired by threatening to cancel legislatively-approved U.S. aid. Shokin knew about the skullduggery through which the Biden family eventually received $6.5 million from Ukraine — and so Biden ensured his firing, and publicly bragged about it in performance-art fashion. In sum, Trump had a perfect right as commander in chief to delay (he did not cancel) aid to Ukraine, to ensure that its government was not still paying off the Bidens for their lobbying efforts on its behalf. It is also now clear that Biden serially lied about his ignorance of Hunter's shake-down operation. In fact, he was, as Devon Archer emphasized, "the brand" central to Hunter's scheme to coerce money from foreign governments. Joe was proverbially, in Hunter's words "the man sitting next to me" and thus able to either punish or reward foreign interests, depending on the size of the checks they wrote to his various fronting family members.

Hunter's Defiance. Whatever the Biden spin machine says to try to minimize Joe Biden's involvement in his son's influence peddling business shenanigans, the evidence gathered so far overwhelmingly points to Joe's substantial knowledge and involvement along with benefits that he received. Some of that evidence came out of Hunter's own mouth when he complained that he had to turn over as much of fifty percent of his "salary" to "pop." The incriminating evidence also includes bank records of payments from foreign business entities through shell companies to Biden family members and subsequent checks family members gave to Joe Biden for purported repayment of phantom loans. One of these checks was clearly a cut to the "big guy" (identified by one of Hunter's former business associates as Joe Biden) from monies paid by one of these foreign entities through a shell company to a Biden family member. The evidence also includes first-hand accounts from Hunter Biden's former business associates describing Joe Biden's extensive interactions with Hunter's Ukrainian, Russian, and Chinese business clients.

FBI secretly taped James Biden as it probed attorney who paid $100K to his consulting firm: report. President Biden's brother James was secretly recorded by the FBI during a bribery investigation into a Mississippi trial attorney who shelled out $100,000 to his consulting firm in the late 1990s, a report said on Sunday. Richard Scruggs, the trial attorney, hired James and Sara Biden's DC consulting firm while seeking to gin up support for tobacco legislation being contemplated by Congress in 1998, the Washington Post reported. Neither James, 74, nor his brother President Joe Biden, 81, were implicated in any major criminal wrongdoing in the case. But the revelation comes amid an impeachment probe into alleged influence-peddling by the president's family members. "I probably wouldn't have hired him if he wasn't the senator's brother," Scruggs told the Washington Post about why he forked over cash to James Biden's firm.

Yes, Hunter is Now in Contempt of Congress. Congress is often a theater of the absurd, from Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) pulling a fire alarm before a major vote to former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) being, well, a member of Congress at all. However, none of that compares to what unfolded on Wednesday as Hunter Biden stood outside Congress and defied a subpoena as being "beyond the absurd." What happens next could be even more bizarre. Hunter was under a subpoena from the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability to appear for testimony. As I previously wrote, he had two choices: He could appear and either testify or invoke his right to remain silent. The only thing that he could not do is what he did — just refuse to go into the hearing room. Yet, there he was, with counsel Abbe Lowell by his side, holding forth with a public press conference while refusing to appear in the closed-door deposition being held in the building behind him. By staying on the Senate side of the Capitol, Hunter guaranteed that the House sergeant at arms did not pull him into the hearing room. Ironically, that would have been a better option than his blowing a raspberry at the committee and then speeding away.

Hunter Biden announces that he is a flight risk.
Report: Hunter Biden Threatens to 'Flee' America if Donald Trump [is] Reelected. Hunter Biden reportedly threatened to take extreme action and flee the United States of America if voters reelect former President Donald Trump. The threat represents the often neurotic nature of the president's son, 53, who faces 42 years in prison for tax and gun charges in an ongoing investigation. "In recent conversations with family friends, he [Hunter] has worried that he might have to flee the country if Trump were to be elected president again," two people who spoke with Hunter told Politico's Jonathan Lemire.

Federal prosecutor accused of obstructing Hunter Biden investigation quietly leaves office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf, who has been accused of obstructing the Hunter Biden probe, has left her post at the Justice Department, it was reported Thursday as she sat down for an interview with the House Judiciary Committee. Wolf, who was interviewed behind closed doors Thursday for a transcribed interview, appeared under a subpoena, a day after the full House voted on a party line basis to formalize an impeachment inquiry into the president. That came on a day when Hunter Biden delivered a blistering statement outside the Capitol but declined to appear for a closed interview with lawmakers, after saying he would appear in a public forum.

Oversight Member Indicates They Might Hold Swalwell in Contempt for Arranging Hunter's Capitol Remarks. Hunter Biden was supposed to comply with a subpoena and give a closed-door deposition to the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday. Instead, he showed up on the Senate side of the Capitol and gave a speech attacking the Republicans, on the steps in an area known as the "Senate Swamp." Somehow, "swamp" was apropos for the bunch of bull that Hunter put out there, as he gave the Oversight Committee the finger and blew off the subpoena. That now opens Hunter up for a contempt charge, and House Oversight has indicated that they are starting the process. That also raised potential questions for Joe Biden, who knew what Hunter was going to say ahead of time, raising the question of whether he was involved in any obstruction. That could also potentially be an impeachable offense. Plus, Joe Biden had previously said people who defied subpoenas should be prosecuted.

Hunter's Troll-tastic Press Conference Was a Major Strategic Blunder. Hunter Biden defied a congressional subpoena Wednesday, announcing his decision in a public statement that was obviously crafted and approved by his legal team and handlers. His strategy is to play the victim card, trying to use his addictions as an excuse for a lifetime of evading the law — and basic responsibilities — while bagging as much cash as possible off of his family name. This latest dramatic episode of the Hunter Biden Show is likely to yield contempt of Congress proceedings from House Republicans. Hunter delivered his statement at a D.C. press conference that no one asked for, making for a content bonanza for his defenders and skeptics alike. The optics were entertainingly discordant with Hunter's reputation.

Did Joe Biden Know Hunter Would Violate Republicans' Congressional Subpoena? The White House Says Yes. The White House admitted on Wednesday that President Joe Biden was "familiar" with his son's plans to violate a congressional subpoena issued by House Republicans. The moment came during a White House press conference when Fox News' Peter Ducey asked Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about Hunter's refusal to abide by House Republicans' subpoena. By subpoenaing the younger Biden, House Republicans sought to compel him to sit for a closed-door deposition hearing where they could dig into Joe's leading role in the Biden family's foreign business ventures. When asked about Hunter's refusal to testify in the Republicans' sought-after deposition, Jean-Pierre admitted that Joe was "familiar" with what his son would say during the latter's Wednesday press conference. "I don't have anything else to add. The president was familiar with what Hunter was going to say today and, you know, look, he's proud of his son ... how he's rebuilding his life back," Jean-Pierre said. "He's going to focus on ... the American people. Hunter ... is a private citizen ... I'm just not going to get into private conversations."

The Editor says...
Bribery, graft, conspiracy and treason are always arranged in "private conversations." Yes, Hunter Biden "is a private citizen," but if he is the bag man for the President's illegal activities, he's fair game.

You Can Tell the Bidens Have Nothing to Hide by How They're Hiding So Many Things. Not a single Biden has done anything to disprove any allegations against them, nor will they — forging documents to make your case never works out well, just ask Dan Rather. And documents would be all it would take to disprove the allegations — something, anything at all showing Joe Biden served as the Biden family bank, loaning out large sums of money to all comers, at zero interest, for pretty much anything. A worthless junkie setting millions of dollars on fire while completely engulfed in addition wants tens of thousands of dollars to buy a truck, even though he already owns 2 other vehicles? Not a problem, just don't ask for anything formalizing the transaction. Joe's brother — one of the few people on the planet who can make Hunter look productive and like a good hire — and his wife "paid back" a small fortune to Joe for "loans" to cover... [nobody] knows what. Again, that Bank of Biden no paperwork is necessary.

According to Joe Biden, Anyone Who Defies a Congressional Subpoena Should Be Prosecuted. By refusing to appear before the House Oversight Committee for a standard closed-door deposition, Hunter Biden is widely expected to be held in contempt of Congress. And if we take Joe Biden's words at face value, the president thinks his son should be prosecuted for it. On Wednesday, instead of complying with the committee's subpoena, he gave a whiny press conference, during which he played the victim card like a petulant child. He accused Republicans of cherrypicking and fabricating evidence against him and denied any "financial involvement" by his father, Joe Biden, in his foreign business dealings. Hunter curiously moved the goalposts, considering that for a long time, the narrative was that Joe Biden never even spoke with his son about his business, and now suddenly, he seems to be conceding more significant involvement.

Let's Be Clear: This Is About Joe Biden, Not Hunter Biden. When James Comer wondered on CNN whether Special Counsel David Weiss had indicted Hunter Biden on nine tax-related charges to protect him from having to be deposed in the House Oversight Committee, Jake Tapper snarkily responded: "Yes, the classic rubric. He indicted him to protect him. I got it." Well, yes. Indicting a person on lesser charges can often protect him from more serious ones. It happens all the time. In this case, though, "him" isn't Hunter, it's Joe. Weiss failed to indict Hunter for failing to register as a foreign agent or failing to pay taxes on the millions that flowed from those arrangements. Why? Probably because any investigation into Hunter's $17 million foreign influence-peddling business — which Weiss has scrupulously avoided — leads to the president of the United States answering lots of awkward queries about his connection to disreputable people and authoritarian regimes. There is no Hunter Biden case without Joe. There is no Biden Inc. without Joe. Hunter's laptop — the one that the New York Post got its hands on, and that Tapper and others attempted to cover up — was crammed with texts and emails in which the son references his dad's role in securing payments and taking cuts from the business. None of that is to mention the numerous witnesses that have come forward to contend that the "Big Guy" played a part in that outfit. Or the checks that ended up being written to Joe.

Is Joe Biden really just a loving father, or something else? We are supposed to believe that: [•] No matter how many trips Joe took Hunter on, on the taxpayer dime, to meet with and collect kickbacks from, that not once did Joe ever say a word to him about his business. [•] No matter how many times Joe went to dinner with business associates, no matter how many times he played golf with the business associates, no matter how many times he ate dinner with them, no matter how many pictures he took with them, no matter how many times he talked on the phone with them, and no matter how many times he emailed them using an alias that not once did he ever discuss business with them. [•] Not once has Biden ever talked to Hunter about how he pays for his expensive house rentals, exotic cars, his drugs, his kids' education, his strip club trips and hookers, or his high-priced lawyers. His supposed lack of curiosity is astonishing. [•] Not once has he asked how he gets so much time off from his law firm job. These companies or people in Russia, China, Ukraine, and elsewhere continued to pay millions to Hunter despite his admitting he had no service or product to sell, only the illusion of access. I believe the payments would have stopped long ago if all they got was an illusion.

Banks Flagged Joe Biden's Home Address with 'Suspicious Activity' Reports 6 Times: Report. A sitting Republican senator with years of experience investigating the family of President Joe Biden said Thursday that a number of banks reported suspicious financial activity at the president's home in Wilmington, Delaware. Banks filed Suspicious Activity Reports, known as SARS in the industry, at least six times, flagging "about $12 million in transactions over several years," Sen. Ron Johnson said on "Just the News, No Noise." Later in the interview, Johnson said that the $12 million figure was an estimate, and might include some double counting. The reports were connected with Hunter Biden's overseas affairs, and "raised concerns about possible criminal activity involving money laundering or human trafficking," according to Just the News' report on Johnson's interview.

The Hunter Biden Indictment is Itself a Model of Evasion. The 56-page indictment of Hunter Biden for tax evasion makes for racy reading, with the special counsel describing a four-year criminal pattern directed at maintaining Biden's "extravagant lifestyle." That lifestyle included massive expenses for strippers, sex clubs, fast cars and other distractions. The steps taken by Hunter to evade taxes are impressive, but not nearly as impressive as the efforts of the Justice Department to evade any direct implications for his father, President Biden. In that sense, the indictment itself is a marvel of evasion. There are three glaring omissions in the indictment that tend to shield critical payments and conduct that implicate the president.

Biden ignores questions after son Hunter was indicted on evading $1.4 million in taxes. President Joe Biden waved to reporters as he left the White House on Friday morning but ignored shouted questions hours after his son Hunter was indicted on tax evasion charges. The indictment included a string of embarrassing allegations, setting out how the troubled first son spent $870,000 on prostitutes, sex club memberships and porn. It will provide a welcome break from questions about what he knew about his son's business dealings and how he racked up such huge spending. He wore his Aviator sunglasses as he strode out of the White House residence alone and walked briskly to Marine One as reporters tried to ask him whether he had spoken to his son. His father left Washington on a trip to Las Vegas and Los Angeles, where he will spend the weekend.

Hunter indictment [was] designed specifically to avoid Joe Biden. The 56-page indictment of Hunter Biden for tax evasion makes for racy reading, with the special counsel describing a four-year criminal pattern directed at maintaining Biden's "extravagant lifestyle." That lifestyle included massive expenses for strippers, sex clubs, fast cars and other distractions. The steps taken by Hunter to evade taxes are impressive, but not nearly as impressive as the efforts of the Justice Department to evade any direct implications for his father, President Biden. In that sense, the indictment itself is a marvel of evasion. There are three glaring omissions in the indictment that tend to shield critical payments and conduct that implicate the president.

There's Only One Explanation For Hunter Biden's Simple Indictment Taking So Long: 2020 Election Interference. A federal grand jury in California returned a multi-count indictment against Hunter Biden late Thursday, charging the president's son with multiple tax offenses. While the indictment detailed some sordid spending sprees by Hunter Biden, the crimes charged were so basic that to say Special Counsel David Weiss opted for the low-hanging fruit would be an understatement. Weiss instead limited the charges to the crimes that fell into his lap. The simplicity of the charges underscores the protect-Biden racket that operated out of the Delaware U.S. attorney's office for the last several years. Late Thursday, news broke that Hunter Biden had been charged in a nine-count indictment on multiple tax offenses, including three felonies. Specifically, Weiss charged the president's son with willfully failing to pay his federal income taxes in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019; willfully failing to file income tax returns in 2017 and 2018; and willfully filing in 2018 a false 1040 personal tax return and a false corporate tax return for Owasco PC, while declaring "under the penalties of perjury," that both tax returns were true and correct.

Hunter Biden's Lawyer Snaps After Brzezinski Repeats Blunt Question About New Charges. MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski grilled Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, on the president's son's new charges. Hunter was indicted in California by a grand jury of nine counts related to his alleged failure to pay over $1 million worth of taxes over a four-year period. Hunter is charged with three felonies and six misdemeanors including failure to pay taxes and failure to file taxes. The indictment lays out Hunter's business dealings with Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings, a Romanian oligarch previously thought to be Gabriel Popoviciu and Chinese infrastructure company CEFC.

Hunter Biden Received $4.9M From 'Sugar Brother' Hollywood Lawyer Who Paid His Taxes, Bought His Art. Most of us work hard for a living, but it seems what we really needed all along was a "sugar brother." That seems to have worked out well for First Son Hunter Biden, who reportedly received over $4.9 million from Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris over a three-year period, according to an IRS whistleblower. Hunter's BFF allegedly paid off some of Hunter's tax bills and even bought some of his "art."

Jonathan Turley Weighs In On Hunter News: 'None Of Us Have Seen The Likes Of This'. Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley weighed in on the newest report showing Hunter Biden sent his father, President Joe Biden, monthly payments from the bank account he reportedly used to receive money from Chinese business associates. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer released redacted bank records Monday showing direct payments to Biden from Hunter's Owasco P.C. bank account. The payments appear to stem from September of 2018. Turley said Monday an impeachment vote into Biden was "overdue" and there "was ample evidence to justify an impeachment inquiry." "I can't imagine how anyone would look at this evidence and not believe that a formal inquiry should begin. There's been a litany of lies that have come out of the Biden family and the White House. The president denied knowing about any of these business arrangements. Even Hunter said that wasn't true," Turley said, listing other pieces of evidence.

Our Dickensian President. [Charles] Dickens gave us Ebenezer Scrooge, who personified that vice, but he could not fail to be impressed by the covetous reach of Joe Biden and his family. As vice president, Joe traveled to the Ukraine to thwart an investigation into his and son Hunter's influence peddling, only to use one billion dollars of taxpayer money to bribe his way out of hot water, and then brag publicly about exactly what he had done. That's chutzpah to rival any "Bah! Humbug!" A politician "of the people," who never had a job outside of government and claimed he never owned "a single stock or bond," he managed to pay $2.75 million in cash for a Delaware beach house. A clever writer might be able to connect Ordinary Joe's extraordinary home financing to the fact that the purchase was only two weeks removed from his son's call to Russian business operatives demanding rapid payment of a $10 million "fee." Dickens probably would have had great fun with the fact that Biden somehow wrangled $1.7 billion in public funds, calling it the Inflation Reduction Act, when its real purpose was to reward political donors and sneak in a Green New Deal, while adding massively to the public debt. Scrooge never did anything half as bad.

If the Bank of Biden shenanigans sound suspicious it's because they are. For a man who once claimed to be "the poorest man in Congress," Joe Biden sure likes to loan out money. For instance, the Bank of Biden supposedly gave $40,000 to his brother James. James was able to repay the money barely a month later, after he coincidentally received a check from a Chinese energy company. Next, the White House claims, Joe Biden helped his son make car payments. That's why Joe received a monthly payment of $1,380 in 2018 from his son Hunter's law firm. Hunter was just paying him back — possibly using money the son "earned" from that same Chinese energy firm, and a Ukrainian gas company, Burisma. If all this sounds suspicious, that's because it is! Hunter Biden was making up to $80,000 a month from Burisma. His own memoir details his massive spending on drugs and prostitutes. Why did he need his father to cover his car payments? James Biden, meanwhile, is a man who spent his career profiting off his brother's political positions. He always had some scheme going on, why does he need to hit up his brother for money?

Subpoenaed Bank Records Show Hunter Biden's Owasco, P.C. Made Direct Monthly Payments to Joe. As the House Oversight Committee's investigation into the Biden Family Business (and the resultant impeachment inquiry) proceeds apace, Chairman James Comer (R-KY) released a new video Monday morning detailing even more [inclupatory] evidence regarding the president's involvement in his son's business dealings. In the video, Comer sets forth the list of lies by Joe Biden and his team regarding the extent of that involvement. [Tweet with video clip]

James Comer: Joe Biden Received 'Direct Monthly Payments' from Hunter's 'Owasco PC' Business Account. President Joe Biden received "direct monthly payments" from Hunter Biden's "Owasco PC" business account, which received "payments from Chinese-state linked companies and other foreign nationals and companies," House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) told Breitbart News on Monday. Comer's revelation amplifies concerns raised by Republicans that Joe Biden is compromised. It also provides more evidence to support an impeachment inquiry into the president. [...] Owasco PC is an entity involved in many complicated wire transfers of the Biden business, Breitbart News previously reported:
• Joe Biden received $40,000 in "China money" from his brother disguised as loan repayment.
• An email from a bank money laundering investigator flagged concerns about the "China money" that ultimately funded the $40,000.
• The Justice Department is investigating Hunter Biden and Owasco PC for tax violations.
"This wasn't a payment from Hunter Biden's personal account but an account for his corporation that received payments from China and other shady corners of the world," Comer said. "Joe Biden claimed there was an 'absolute wall' between his official government duties and his family's influence peddling schemes. This was a lie." "At this moment, Hunter Biden is under an investigation by the Department of Justice for using Owasco PC for tax evasion and other serious crimes," Comer said.

Bruner: Biden Impeachment for Bribery an 'Open and Shut Case'. Seamus Bruner, Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute and author of Controligarchs: Exposing the Billionaire Class, their Secret Deals, and the Globalist Plot to Dominate Your Life, said Sunday on Fox News channel's "Fox & Friends" that he believed the impeachment of President Joe Biden for bribery would be an "open and shut case." Bruner said, "It needs to be e behind closed doors. And, of course, Hunter and his allies want to make it the public spectacle where it's about the drugs and the prostitutes and or poor Hunter's problem. They need it behind closed doors so they can really drill down, get to the meat of the problem, follow the money, reference the emails that are so [inculpatory] against Hunter and even Joe."

The Biden Family Grift and Hunter's Fake Offer To Testify. Hunter Biden's offer to testify before the House Oversight Committee is a clever evasion, nothing more. The president's son says he will testify only if the hearing is publicly televised. Nice try. Subpoenaed witnesses don't get to set the terms. The committee does. Why make an offer that is bound to be rejected? For two reasons. The PR goal is for Hunter to appear willing to testify, when he actually wants desperately to avoid it. The legal goal is to prevent, or at least delay, the committee from enforcing its subpoena. Hunter and his hardball attorney, Abbe Lowell, probably figure the Biden administration's Department of Justice won't go to court and demand compliance. That's not a bad bet. If the DOJ does refuse, the House will go to court itself, but that will take time and may not succeed. This kerfuffle over testimony is only the latest twist in the investigation of Biden family influence peddling. The complexity of that family operation makes it easy to lose sight of what we know, what we don't, and how deeply the president himself is involved.

Does Anybody Know What Books Biden Reads? Or If He Reads? Time was when the elite media class obsessed over how many and what books presidents read. But since President Joe Biden took office, they've completely lost interest. Do they know something we don't? Before Biden, the press loved to ask presidents about their favorite books. What's on their nightstand? What are they reading on vacation? It has always been treated as a sign of intelligence. A measure of sophistication. The Daily Beast once compared presidential reading habits to how historians ranked them as presidents. "The results are not surprising — the top-ranked presidents all made our list near the top of presidential readers," it reported. The press lavished praise on Barack Obama and Bill Clinton for their book-reading habits. When Clinton was running in 1992, for example, the New York Times reported glowingly that he was "an omnivorous reader." Obama's summer reading list was treated as front-page news.

81-Year-Old Joe Biden Calls a Lid After Doing Absolutely Nothing Today. 81-year-old Joe Biden called a lid early Friday afternoon and has nothing on his public schedule. Biden has been in hiding all day and Karine Jean-Pierre didn't hold a press briefing on Friday after storming out of the room on Thursday.

Biden Says That Prices Are Still Too High so Companies Should Just Lower Them. Joe Biden has apparently noticed that the price of everything is much higher on his watch than a few years ago. He is now asking sellers to just lower their prices. [...] Companies don't lower prices just because inflation is politically inconvenient for the president and his party.

Hunter Biden appearing before Congress about his family's influence-peddling business is just another ruse. It was an alluring idea at first. Hunter Biden would appear in public before Congress on Dec. 13 to answer questions about his family's influence-peddling business. But of course, it was just another ruse by his high-priced lawyers to avoid accountability and stage a pity party. Everyone else subpoenaed in James Comer's House Oversight investigation of the Bidens has to first sit for a transcribed interview under oath. In Hunter's case, the committee has hundreds of bank documents, and other evidence to put before him relating to millions of dollars he and other Biden family members raked in from America's foreign adversaries during his father's vice presidency. It is impossible to extract meaningful information from a televised congressional hearing that allows witnesses to filibuster through the five-minute time limits and in which too many members engage in self-interested grandstanding.

Who's running the show at the White House? Maria Bartiromo suggests it's NOT Biden. Soon after former President Donald Trump suggested someone else may be pulling the strings in the Oval Office, Fox Business Network's Maria Bartiromo questioned "who's running the show" at the White House. Speaking with Rep. Richard McCormick on "Mornings with Maria" the host examined the connection between President Joe Biden and his one-time boss, former President Barack Obama. Recently Trump addressed the ongoing theory by some that Obama is really in charge, effectively running his third term as president through his former VP. "You've been ripped off by everybody and betrayed by the corrupt globalists, Washington, Wall Street people, those combinations of Washington, Wall Street, they're the worst of all," Trump said in October at a New Hampshire campaign event. "And it's never been worse than it is now under crooked Joe Biden, and frankly, his boss, Barack Hussein Obama. I think it's his boss." The former president also addressed recent attacks against him for seeming to mistakenly refer to Biden as Obama. [Tweet]

Wait, The FBI Had 40 Confidential Informants Tracking the Biden Family's Shady Deeds? There's been a war, and Hamas terrorists and their supporters are coming out of the woodwork, so this story got buried. If you're Joe Biden, you're probably happy about it. [...] The FBI reportedly has not one but 40 people feeding them information about the Biden family. Is that normal? Does that sound like things are kosher regarding their business dealings? As you'd expect, the FBI was able to shut down some of the reporting on these leads by waving the magic wand and saying "foreign disinformation". [...] It also goes beyond Biden's scandals. The bureau dropped a legit slam-dunk child pornography case to persecute January 6 suspects. That is how Biden is going to get away with it: the FBI runs interference long enough so that when every allegation is proven true through corroborating evidence provided by these informants, Joe is long out of office and quite possibly dead. Or he'll get away with it because that's what happens when you're a member of the Democratic Party.

Biden impeachment inquiry continues to build momentum, evidence. The impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden is gaining momentum as more evidence comes out to back allegations that the president himself financially benefited from the overseas business dealings of his son, Hunter. While Republicans will find it very difficult to get the needed supermajority to impeach Biden, the mounting evidence and media coverage would be another obstacle for Biden to overcome as he campaigns for reelection. The House Oversight Committee, led by Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., has filed a flurry of subpoenas in the investigation of Biden family members and associates this month, starting with Hunter Biden, the president's son, James Biden, the president's brother, and their business associate Bob Walker.

The Editor says...
If you went to a circus to watch the "human cannonball" act, and the fellow waved and slid into the cannon, and then of course there was a drumroll, would you lose your patience after the drumroll went on for 30 minutes? That's what the Biden impeachment is like. I've seen enough stories about how the momentum is building, and the end is near, and look at all the mounting evidence, and so on. Impeach him, or shut up about it. The obvious fact is that Joe Biden will probably die of old age before any impeachment is undertaken. The whole process of gathering evidence is much too late. All the felonies, of which he is accused, took place years ago when he was merely the vice president. Nobody has yet proven what he's done since being installed as (Obama's puppet) president two or three years ago. Move on to an attainable goal: Prosecute the smaller fish, and send somebody to prison. Otherwise, people will get the idea that all the crooks in Washington are immune to the laws that apply to the rest of us.

Biden Just Kneecapped Israel and Gave Hamas New Life on Ceasefire. Even as hostages were finally released on Friday, marking the start of a four-day ceasefire, President Joe Biden was already hard at work kneecapping Israel and giving Hamas new life. Hours after a press conference in which he claimed Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th because he was about to secure peace in the Middle East, Biden spoke to reporters again. This time, he directly stated that the first ceasefire was "just a start" and claimed that there was a "real" chance the truce could be extended. [...] In other words, Biden is now pushing for an outcome that would allow the remnants of Hamas to escape Northern Gaza and regroup to carry out new attacks. Any long-term truce is simply a new lease on life for the terrorist government. Biden's choosing to promote such nonsense has given Hamas the green light to pursue a strategy of trickling out hostages in order to keep a one-sided ceasefire going for possibly months. The ultimate goal would be for the fighting to stop long enough that international pressure would prevent Israel from reigniting the fight to finish off Hamas.

Biden Claims "Hamas Struck When They Did" Because He Wanted to Build a Railroad Through Middle East. Joe Biden took a quick break from his Thanksgiving holiday at a billionaire's estate in Nantucket to address the release of hostages from Hamas terrorists. [...] Joe Biden hobbled over to the lectern. Was he limping? [Tweet with video clip] Biden stunned reporters when he claimed Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,400 Jews in Israel last month because of a railroad he proposed at G20. "Well I believe one of the reasons Hamas struck when they did because they knew that I was working very closely with the Saudis and others in the region to bring peace to the region by having recognition of Israel and Israel's right to exist," Biden said. "You may recall when we did the G20... I was able to get a resolution... a statement passed through there saying we're gonna build a railroad from Riyadh all the way through the Middle East, into Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc., and all the way up to Europe," Biden said. "Not the railroad but the underground pipeline and then the railroad." [Tweet with video clip]

The Bonfire of Biden's Vanities. By now I imagine most readers have seen the photo of Joe Biden's birthday cake, which is the greatest moment of presidential self-immolation since Jimmy Carter was attacked by a rabbit or George H.W. Bush threw up on the Japanese prime minister. The amazing thing is that someone in the White House thought it was a keen idea to release this photo. Which wasn't even competently shot. What's up with gripping the sides of the table? I have a theory. People who think Democrats are playing Lucy and the football with Republicans, waiting to swap out Biden for someone more plausible once the GOP has settled on Trump, are mistaken.

Department of Energy hands $3,000,000,000 to solar panel company accused of preying on dementia patients. Any outside observer looking in at the Joe Biden "presidency" can immediately recognize that the man purportedly in charge is not actually in charge. Joe can barely communicate, because every time he speaks he garbles his words, often to an indecipherable point; "rumors" that he's soiled himself in front of foreign dignitaries lack a startling amount of "debunked" pushback; the signature gait change that accompanies cognitive decline is undeniable; and apparently staffers recently launched a new strategy known as "Operation Bubble Wrap" to prevent the old man from tripping and falling so frequently on camera, because the optics are looking really bad. Don't believe you're lying eyes! This isn't a reanimated corpse, it's a man in peak health! Naturally, people from all parts of the political spectrum have accused those nearest to Joe Biden of "elder abuse," but apparently he's not the only one — a disturbing new story gives credence to the idea that the Bidenites have taken elder abuse into the bureaucracy and exploiting the aged is now a matter of Democrat policy.

Biden Makes Huge Gaffe on Fentanyl, WH Rushes to Clean Up as He Flees for More Vacation. As we reported earlier, part of the fentanyl problem is because Biden has failed to secure the border. He also didn't seem to understand China's involvement in the whole fentanyl process, lifting sanctions on a blacklisted forensics lab in exchange for Xi saying they would do more to track the flow of chemicals for fentanyl. As Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) said, that was a bit like "thanking the arsonist." But Biden also made another huge gaffe that had the White House rushing to clean up. During his remarks about the drug, he said he was calling on Congress to make it a "Schedule 1 drug." Doing that would cause it to be unable to be used for the legitimate medical uses it is employed for now. [Tweet with video clip] Fentanyl is currently a Schedule II drug which means it can be prescribed for legitimate medical use. [...] Once Biden was done with his fentanyl event, then he was off to the plane, bound for Nantucket, for still more days of vacation. He's staying again at billionaire private equity tycoon David Rubenstein's estate. He preaches about the billionaires and then does all he can to hang out at their estates on his vacations.

Washington Post Reinvents Its Biden Family Corruption Standard To Cover For The 'Big Guy'. The Washington Post established itself as the premier public relations partner for the Biden family this weekend in a laughable article that purported to summarize its "review" of Hunter Biden's career. The left-leaning outlet's "reporting," however, instead peddled to Americans a mythical tale that not only moved the goalposts for judging misconduct but whitewashed the entire field of the family's influence-peddling scheme — details of which now confirm President Biden personally profited from the corruption. "I have never discussed, with my son or my brother or with anyone else, anything having to do with their businesses. Period," then-presidential candidate Joe Biden proclaimed in an August 2019 statement to reporters. Since then, overwhelming evidence has established Biden, while vice president, not only spoke with Hunter and Jim Biden about their business, but also met or talked with various investors including foreign officials, and later received money that originated from those same "business" partners.

House Judiciary Committee Subpoenas Top Prosecutor In Hunter Biden Probe. The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed a top prosecutor in Special Counsel David Weiss' Hunter Biden probe on Tuesday. House Judiciary Chairman and Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan sent a letter to Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf Tuesday notifying her that she is required to come before the committee for a deposition Dec. 7, according to the letter. Jordan said the committee was seeking Wolf's testimony because her "critical role" in the Hunter Biden investigation can help advance the committee's ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

Republicans Subpoena Lesley Wolf, Who Blocked Hunter Biden Investigators From Probing Joe. House Republicans are demanding answers from Special Counsel David Weiss's top deputy in the Justice Department's criminal probe of Hunter Biden. On Tuesday, GOP House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio formally subpoenaed Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf to appear before lawmakers on Dec. 7. "Information available to the Committee suggests that you — either directly or by instructing others — are responsible for many of the decisions to deviate from standard investigative protocol during the Department's investigation of Hunter Biden," Jordan wrote. The letter accompanying the subpoena highlighted what federal whistleblowers allege was interference by Wolf, such as tipping off "people very close" to the Bidens about an FBI request for an interview and barring investigators from asking questions that might implicate the president in criminal financial schemes.

Joe in the looking glass. Being President isn't the same as storytelling on the front porch to one's grandchildren or doing stand-up comedy in LA or shaking invisible hands. It's serious business, and risky business, when all the world's dictators and strongmen are watching his every move and equating his condition with that of an entire nation. The world is not getting safer because of Joe; it is getting more dangerous. And while we can laugh with (and at) Joe's machinations, we must realize that he will not improve with age.

The Gold Medal Winner for Presidential Lies. Joe Biden, beyond his word salad bumbling, is an incredible liar, covering for Barack Obama, his master. Virtually everything that Biden and his press secretary say is a lie. Unsurprisingly, public confidence in the presidency and today's sycophant journalism is at an all-time low. His agency heads constantly lie: Merrick Garland, Alejandro Mayorkas, Christopher Wray, Pete Buttigieg, Antony Blinken, take your pick. The precedent for the Biden Administration's lies is the administration of Barack Obama, for whom Biden served as vice president. Obama taught Biden the best of lying techniques.

Slow Joe turns 81. President Biden turns 81 tomorrow. We wish him a happy birthday in the privacy with which he is bound to celebrate it. He doesn't want to draw attention to his achievement in longevity, though I can't think of another positive achievement he can claim. Eighty-one might not be too old to be president, but Biden gives evidence in every public appearance that it is, at least in his case. His handlers sought to conceal his decline by keeping him in the basement during the 2020 presidential campaign. In office, his handlers have sought to conceal his decline by a variety of stratagems. Lest he get lost in a fog during public appearances, for example, his handlers provide him with cards specifying step-by-step instructions in capital letters. And yet he still gets lost in a fog during public appearances. The cards can only do so much. Biden is surrounded by a bodyguard of liars on staff and in the mainstream media, yet everyone sees that he is — to put it mildly — senescent. His senescence is so far advanced that it can't be concealed.

Biden Can't Be Trusted To Confront The Chinese Communists Who Pay His Family Millions. President Joe Biden met Chinese dictator Xi Jinping for high-level talks in California on Wednesday, marking the first time the two leaders have spoken face-to-face in a year. While specific details of the conversation will assuredly remain under wraps, a White House readout of the discussion indicates that Biden and Xi covered a variety of hot-button issues, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Israel's defense against Hamas terrorists in the Middle East, and Taiwan. [...] But aside from Biden's incompetence at juggling U.S. foreign policy, Wednesday's U.S.-China talks raised a far more concerning question. How can Biden be trusted to manage U.S. relations with China when he and his family have received millions of dollars from Chinese entities connected to the Chinese Communist Party?

Hunter Biden [was] kept afloat with millions from [his] father's Democratic donors after foreign money dried up. When Hunter Biden's foreign business deals began drying up amid his recovery from addiction and his father's 2020 presidential campaign, he tapped a rich new source of money that has kept him afloat: Democratic supporters of Joe Biden's presidential campaign, according to hundreds of pages of documents reviewed by Just the News. Evidence gathered by federal and congressional investigators show Hunter Biden collected over $6 million since his father began running for the presidency in 2020. The assistance flowed predominantly from prominent Democratic donor and respected Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris, whom the first son reportedly befriended at one of his father's fundraising events, according to The New York Times. In response to Just The News' fact-checking queries and seeking comment from Morris, his lawyer, Bryan Sullivan, responded that "we believe we know the identity of the source and that it is an individual who has been engaged in a campaign of harassment against Mr. Morris that includes doxing that has resulted in threats on Mr. Morris' life.

Two Words Describe Biden's Presidency: Reckless Endangerment. This week we've been treated to three government reports that all point in the same direction: Disaster. Interest payments are through the roof. Real wages continue to fall. And a record number of illegals crossed the border. That's just the domestic news. As of this writing, Americans are being held hostage by Iran-supported Hamas terrorists who killed nearly two dozen other Americans when they invaded Israel. Our military forces face increasing Iranian-sponsored attacks in Iraq and Syria. While President Joe Biden lets Iran off the sanctions hook for another four months. The worry isn't just whether Biden — the architect of these disasters — will be voted out of office next year. It's whether the U.S. can survive until then.

VP Biden Followed Advice Hunter Sent To His 'Champ4' Burner Email. President Joe Biden used one of his earliest email aliases to discuss official White House business with his son and may have used it to covertly advance the Biden family business. Biden previously issued repeated denials of ever discussing business with his son, but mounting evidence shows he met and spoke with Hunter's foreign business partners numerous times, and also corresponded with Hunter via pseudonyms. The Biden White House has refused to explain why Joe used non-government emails to clue Hunter Biden in on official vice president business. One email alias of Biden's that hasn't received much attention is his "champ4" burner address. The correspondence associated with champ4@att.blackberry.net that was discovered on Hunter's laptop shows the then-vice president updating his son on activity at the Obama White House, and at one point, Joe appears to rely on Hunter's direction to make a public appearance and promote one of his VP policy topics.

Report: Joe Biden to Escape Charges for Mishandling Classified Docs. Special Counsel Robert Hur, who is investigating President Joe Biden for mishandling documents, is not expected to charge anyone, sources familiar with the matter told CNN and the Wall Street Journal. The report suggests a double standard of justice. While there will reportedly be no consequences for Biden, Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted former President Donald Trump in June for mishandling classified documents. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Hur in January to investigate Biden after classified documents from his time as vice president in Barack Obama's administration were found in his possession at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, DC, and at his Wilmington, Delaware, home.

The mounting evidence Biden got rich from dictators like China's Xi. A reporter asked me the other day if all the evidence about the Biden family's money-making schemes (checks, secret messages, and meetings) meant that President Biden has been lying to the public. I was surprised by the question. Of course, Biden has been lying. As I wrote early this year, the Bidens are the Delaware equivalent of the Sopranos (minus killing the people who irritate them). The late James Gandolfini (who played Tony Soprano in the hit HBO series) would be proud of the starring role Biden has played in America's long-running, very-real-life crime drama. It would never have occurred to the New Jersey Sopranos to make money in China, Russia, Romania, Ukraine,and Kazakhstan, as well as here at home. You can imagine Tony Soprano sitting down at exquisite Washington, D.C., restaurants with a dozen businessmen from various dictatorships and centers of corruption. You can clearly visualize Hunter Biden in a role similar to Christopher Moltisanti, (Tony Soprano's drug addicted screw-up nephew) in the Delaware Sopranos.

Secret Service's FOIA Documents Reveal DNA was Found and Preserved in White House Cocaine Probe, Contrary to Prior Claims. During his show on Fox News, Jesse Watters revealed that the Secret Service has been misleading the public about a cocaine investigation at the White House. According to over 100 pages of documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the narrative surrounding the discovery and handling of cocaine at the White House appears fraught with inconsistencies and cover-ups. The Gateway Pundit reported in July that Hazmat crews were dispatched inside the entrance gate near the West Wing of the White House to investigate a suspicious white substance that tested positive for cocaine hydrochloride.

Congress on a Hamster Wheel. Notwithstanding the messy intermezzo over the House speakership, Republican congressional chairs James Comer, Jason Smith, and Jim Jordan have used their committees to triangulate a cogent case of rampant political corruption and grift by the Biden family going back at least through his two terms as vice president. Kickbacks for foreign government favors were funneled through a labyrinth of shell companies licensed for ill purposes, with related communications among family members, business associates, and the vice president facilitated by more than five thousand emails masked by several aliases. Biden family wealth grew rapidly once Joe Biden went retail, satisfying quid pro quos that affected and effected foreign policy while shielding and protecting the ongoing criminal conspiracy. The liability of this scheme was to entrust these shakedowns to a drug-addicted and honeypotted son who spent more time out of his pants than in them.

Another Day, Another Terrifying Biden Glitch. Former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki [...] wants us to believe that while Joe Biden may have lost some spring in his step, he's still firing on all cylinders. Except he's not. We all know it, and just like Biden can't get away with telling people the economy is the best ever, his allies can't claim he hasn't got severe cognitive problems. Why? Because we can see for ourselves what's happening. On Tuesday, Biden spoke at a White House event, during which he claimed that climate change is the "ultimate threat to humanity." Strong words when we're on the verge of World War III, but I digress. Like so many other speeches before it, Biden had a difficult time concentrating and speaking. Sometimes, we got a garbled mess of words that didn't make any sense — if you could even make them out through the slurring. [Tweet with video clip] During the speech, he also repeated the long-debunked story of his alleged past travels with Xi Jinping. [Tweet with video clip]

Saving Private Biden. I seriously doubt that President Biden could pass a Medicare cognitive ability test. It's not exactly challenging, but Biden is too far gone. Everyone sees it. Everyone knows it. We are in any event way beyond the emperor-wears-no-clothes phase of inhibition controlling the unruly multitude.

Comer's subpoenas for Hunter and James Biden notching investigation to 'very aggressive level'. New York Post columnist Miranda Devine told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday that Republican Rep. James Comer's subpoenas for Hunter and James Biden are ratcheting the probe to a "very aggressive level." "I think this is the next phase. The subpoenas that James Comer signed last week and the requests for various associates and family members of the Bidens to come in for transcribed interviews is really notching it up to a very aggressive level. And this is why you see Hunter Biden's lawyer panicking, writing to the speaker, Mike Johnson, and saying, 'call your dogs off.' This is why you're seeing hit jobs on James Comer spreading out through the so-called prestige media," she said. Devine said the Bidens know that Comer "has the receipts."

The Biden-Du Pont Nexus. As the MSM turns on President Joe Biden heading into the 2024 election, the Washington Post had an interesting piece on Thursday exploring a little-known connection between the Bidens and the du Pont family, which revolves around a 2001 case in which then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) was voted in as a prominent new member of a prestigious Golf Club in Wilmington, Delaware, founded by a du Pont heiress. That year, Biden, known for his "Middle-Class Joe" image and modest financial status, joined the exclusive Fieldstone Golf Club, a symbol of prestige and power. [...] The Biden-du Pont connection, reinforced by this membership, raises questions about potential influences and reciprocal favors within these elite circles. In particular, it seems appropriate to revisit a controversial 2009 plea deal offered by then-Attorney General Beau Biden to a du Pont heir accused of raping his own daughter when she was a toddler. Richards was originally charged with two counts of second-degree rape, which carried a minimum of 20 years behind bars. Instead, he pleaded guilty in 2008 to fourth-degree rape, which carries no minimum prison time.

It's not about Israel: We are the target. Let's apply Occam's Razor to the question, "what is the motive behind Biden's actions as president?" Biden's first steps were to systematically dismantle everything Trump had accomplished during his presidency. Using the "global warming emergency" as his excuse, Biden ended drilling for oil and natural gas and moved us from energy independence to having to rely on our enemies to obtain dirtier oil. His appointees to the military focused on wokeness, not readiness, and ended up with weakness. His support of Ukraine, to the tune of $60 billion, with another $53 billion allocated, has depleted our military of the supplies and ammunition we need to defend our own country. He spent money we didn't have for projects we didn't need, and has run up the national debt to $33.7 trillion — fueling massive inflation that is ruining the lives of the "average Americans" he claims to represent. He immediately began ignoring the law and opened our borders to all comers — terrorists, drug dealers, human traffickers, and common criminals. Fentanyl is now killing over 110,000 Americans per year, the equivalent of a Boeing 757-300 crashing every single day. Biden has done everything in his power to support Iran.

Biden is 'Fighting' Hamas for Biden's Interests. The history of radical Muslim envy and hatred towards the Jews and the Christians is too lengthy to recount here. However, we can start with Obama and his enduring predilections for the terrorist radical Muslim regimes in the Middle East and Africa. Biden worked for Obama. Remember all the fawning photos of Biden grinning at the Boss? Not many American presidents would have picked a vice president with such a long history of venality and stupidity in D.C., but Obama picked Biden. It probably was a marriage made in Hell: Biden would do as he was told, and Obama would keep the intelligence receipts on Biden's family enterprises and international pay-to-play treachery locked safely away. Obama armed Iran. Obama released known terrorists from Gitmo. Obama is now very rich. Biden smiled through it all. [...] Biden's nod and wink towards the recent violent demonstrations in D.C. and elsewhere, notably in areas of larger Muslim populations, in support of the "Palestinians," is what we should have expected; we can expect a good deal more.

Jim Biden: Serial Grifter. When we talk about the shady business dealings of Biden Inc., we mostly hear mentions of The Big Guy and his famous, formerly crack-addled son Hunter. But one name that doesn't pop up nearly as often is that of the President's younger brother Jim. That may be starting to change, however. Jim Biden turned up in a secret $140 million construction contract negotiation with the Saudis earlier this year. (Despite having no relevant experience in construction.) More recently, Jim and his wife Sara showed up in James Comer's investigation when a check for $40,000 (ten percent to The Big Guy) was unearthed. Now even the Associated Press apparently felt compelled to look a little more deeply into Jim's background. They didn't have to dig too deeply to uncover a questionable-looking arrangement between Joe's younger brother and a Florida-based startup healthcare company called Americore Health Services.

House Republicans Want to Chat With Some of the Biden Crime Family. Hunter Biden oozes sleaze, and the fact that he is only now getting a little comeuppance is ridiculous. While his daddy's Justice Department has been focused on harassing former President Donald Trump and any American who supports him, Hunter Biden seems to have been the point man for the family's grift operations. When he wasn't sleeping with the in-laws, of course. The Biden defenders in the media and in government have been shrugging their shoulders and insisting that Pops and Baby Boy are innocent. However, as Rep. Comer said in the press statement about the subpoenas, "bank records don't lie." People aren't supposed to lie to Congress either, we'll have to see how that goes. It's not difficult to believe that Joe Biden is clueless about all of the family's side hustle goings on. He is, after all, generally clueless. He probably was more devious back when he was Obama's VEEP, though. What I find tough to swallow is that Hunter figured it all out on his own. He strikes me as spoiled and entitled but not very bright.

FBI secretly investigated Biden in 2007 over Delaware golf club membership after rich owner waived his $34,000 joining fee. The FBI secretly investigated Joe Biden in 2007 over his membership in a private Delware golf club after the owner waived the $34,000 joining fee for him, a shocking new report revealed on Thursday. Biden joined Fieldstone Golf Club in Wilmington, Delaware, in 2001 and remains a member to this day, even playing golf there as president. But the fee waiver resulted in the FBI investigating whether whether Biden had received a monetary benefit that he should have disclosed that in his financial reports, The Washington Post reported.

Grassley's Bombshells Show House Investigators Exactly Where To Aim Their Next Biden Subpoenas. The chair of the House Oversight Committee issued a slew of subpoenas on Wednesday, including to Hunter Biden and James Biden. Additional subpoenas, as well as requests for transcribed interviews, were served on other Biden family members and business associates. These investigative steps are solid, but the House committees charged with the Joe Biden impeachment inquiry need to issue subpoenas for the witnesses and documents Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, not-so-subtly suggested late last month. "I've obtained the names of 25 DOJ and FBI personnel to interview at a future date," Grassley wrote in a late-October letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray concerning the latest details the Iowa senator uncovered related to obstruction of the Biden-family corruption investigation. While the House Oversight Committee is understandably focused on unraveling the extent of foreign influence-peddling, the House should not ignore the second half of the scandal: the DOJ, FBI, and now the Biden administration's cover-up of the scandal and their cover-up of the cover-up.

Does Joe Biden Understand He Did Anything Wrong? Let's go back to the early 1990s, when Middle-Class Joe benefited from a couple of sweetheart real estate deals. A 2008 Delaware Online investigation (republished here in 2020) detailed how MBNA credit card bank and one of its top executives, John R. Cochran III, helped put Biden on the road to real estate riches — and how Biden then pushed the bankruptcy legislation that MBNA wanted through the Senate. MBNA later hired a young Hunter Biden right out of Yale Law School. Nobody batted an eye at the time. Hardly anyone batted an eye when Delaware Online published or republished its investigation. In Joe Biden's experience, one hand washes the other while the palms are getting greased. If the press gets wind of any indiscretions, they'll publish a lame exposé piece, easily dismissed (including by the press) when someone like Biden makes all the expected pronouncements. Biden takes no notice of his own corruption for the same reason a fish takes no notice of water — except when it's absent.

Comer Issues Subpoenas Directly to Biden Family Members. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer officially issued a number of subpoenas to President Joe Biden's family members Wednesday afternoon, including his son Hunter and brother James. "The House Oversight Committee has followed the money and built a record of evidence revealing how Joe Biden knew, was involved, and benefited from his family's influence peddling schemes. Now, the House Oversight Committee is going to bring in members of the Biden family and their associates to question them on this record of evidence," Comer released in statement. "Unlike the many lies President Biden told the American people about his family's business schemes, bank records don't lie. These records reveal how the Bidens sold Joe Biden around to the world to benefit the Biden family, including Joe Biden himself, to the detriment of U.S. interests. The House Oversight Committee, along with the Committees on Judiciary and Ways and Means, will continue to follow the facts and deliver the transparency and accountability that the American people demand and deserve," he continued.

Hunter Biden's art world: GOP to subpoena his dealers, a donor who bought a painting, gallery owner. House Republicans subpoenaed Hunter Biden's art dealer and a Democratic donor who has purchased Hunter's paintings, among others on Wednesday. Georges Bergès, who has been overseeing the sale of Hunter's paintings, will be called in to testify before the House Oversight Committee, as will Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a Los Angeles real estate developer who paid big bucks for Hunter's amateur artwork. Also facing new subpoenas are Hunter's former business associates Eric Schwerin and Chinese businessman Mervyn Yan.

Top Hunter Biden Prosecutor Confirms Key Detail Of IRS Whistleblower Testimony, Jim Jordan Says. Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, special counsel in the ongoing Hunter Biden investigation, confirmed a key allegation made by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan said Tuesday. Weiss testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and said he requested special attorney authority under section 515 in the spring of 2022, Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan told reporters. Weiss was not given the special attorney authority and did not have special attorney authority before his special counsel appointment in August, Jordan said.

McCarthy: It Turns Out Joe Biden Was the Clandestine Agent of a Hostile Foreign Power. On the latest episode of his podcast The McCarthy Report, National Review Institute fellow Andy McCarthy reacted to the revelation that Joe Biden's brother, James, wrote him a $40,000 check when a $400,000 payment from a Chinese concern came in. "It's 10 percent for the big guy," he said. "I can't see any other way of looking at this," he continued, "except to say that Joe Biden, as it turns out, is what they accused Donald Trump of being: He is a clandestine agent who's been well paid by a hostile foreign power." Addressing what makes someone "a clandestine agent," he explained: "That you're doing work for a foreign government and not disclosing what your status is or the fact that you're doing it." He added, "I don't know what more to say about it. CEFC, this outfit that Biden was courting, it turns out according to James Comer's committee's report that came out in the last few days, it's an arm of the Xi regime and the Chinese Communist government. There's no mystery about that."

Now That Biden's Campaign Is Off the Rails, POLITICO Discovers He Might Be Corrupt. Remember the Hunter Biden laptop? Way back at the dawn of time, it was Russian disinformation — Politico told us so by pushing the "51 Intelligence Officials" letter. Since then we have read innumerable stories about how the investigations of Joe Biden's corruption were a witch hunt pushed by nasty Republicans who were throwing s**t against the wall to see what sticks to the old man. Yeah, well, that was before all the polls started coming out showing that Biden would probably lose to Donald Trump because his victory would likely be beyond the margin of cheating. [Tweet]

With More Smoke And Mirrors About Hunter Biden Charging Decisions, DOJ Covers Up A Cover-Up. A top government official confirmed IRS whistleblower claims that the Justice Department hamstrung the investigation into Hunter Biden. But that same government official refused to acknowledge that Attorney General Merrick Garland and U.S. Attorney David Weiss misled Congress with their claims that Weiss had ultimate authority over the investigation. That Weiss and the Department of Justice are standing by that story is reason enough for the House to stop deferring to the Justice Department's "ongoing investigation" excuse for withholding information from Congress. Oversight Committees should start issuing and enforcing subpoenas to expose the DOJ's cover-up of Biden-family corruption — and its cover-up of the cover-up.

Comer Predicts What the Biden Family Will Claim When Pressed on Financial Transactions. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed Sunday that about "two dozen" subpoenas are in the pipeline for the Biden family as its investigation into their overseas business dealings continues. "I think you're gonna see swift action on Biden and I would predict somewhere around two dozen subpoenas in the very near future," the Kentucky Republican told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures." The revelation comes after Comer said last week President Biden received a $40,000 personal check from his brother and sister-in-law he claims was "laundered China money." He argued the financial transactions were "very organized." "The reason they did these complicated transactions, was to disguise the source of the revenue and to deceive the IRS from paying taxes," he said, adding that the Biden family will likely claim the funds they received were loans, since "you don't have to report loans on your taxes."

Is Biden Toast? Probably. Unfortunately for Biden, the number of Biden supporters is getting smaller by the day, and many Democrats are no longer Biden supporters, although the majority will wind up voting for him if forced to. [Tweet] But elections are won on margins, not the absolute number of votes. And presidential elections are won in swing states, not by counting all the votes everywhere and adding them up. So Joe Biden may get nearly as many votes next year as last, with Democrats holding their nose. But will that be enough, or will a significant enough number of Biden voters stay home or vote for somebody else? I think the answer is no, and so do an awful lot of Democrat establishment types, who are quietly and not-so-quietly panicking right now. [Chart] Two new polls came out over the weekend, and they justify Democrat panic.

Biden: Pro-Israel by Day, Pro-Hamas by Night. To the knowledge of principled, modestly engaged, CNN-watching citizens, President Joe Biden stands strongly with Israel as it faces unprecedented threats to its existence. So, it appears, cheers are in order for Joe, our strong President. But not so fast. Perhaps more than any leader on the planet except Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Biden's actions were a causative factor in bringing on the recent devastating invasion of American ally Israel. And more than anyone else, Biden presently is both weakening Israel strategically, and strengthening Hamas militarily, as Israel desperately seeks to assure its safety. This criticism of Biden, at first blush, may seem overstated. But sustained attention reveals its modesty. In fact, the history of Biden's actions show that they are strongly pro-Iran, and therefore pro-Hamas, terrorists sponsored and directed by Iran.

Democrats Finally Realizing That Biden 2020 Was a Horrible Idea. Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is what got us in this predicament. It affected even the better brains among the Democrats. All of their efforts were on one goal in 2020: NOT TRUMP. That was the prize and that was the focus. It's not that they didn't bother to look ahead and ponder the consequences, it's that they were incapable of doing so. The blind TDS rage made them rabid animals. In its more functional days, Democrats would have had a Biden removal plan that kicked in well before Mrs. Biden was able to make him blurt out on camera that he wanted to run for reelection. They've spent three-plus years reveling in the fact that their COVID machinations vanquished Trump and it has muddled their planning.

The paid agent behind the Oval Office desk. [Scroll down] Does it sound like Joe Biden has undermined our international interests with his takings from the Chinese regime, all to buy those mansions and fancy cars? Somehow, the U.S. doesn't have the influence it used to have internationally, and it's not just because of President Obama's constant apology tours. It was having Joe on their string that pretty well negated the U.S. as a global player. It also doesn't help that with Joe around, we also lose wars and sport wokester troops on hormone treatments, wearing makeup and dresses. I'd still like to know what Hunter Biden did with that diamond the Chinese agents presented him with, likely to avoid bank monitoring laws. Acting as an agent of a foreign regime while in public office is treason by anyone's definition.

Oversight Committee Says WH Is Attempting to 'Stonewall' Smoking Gun Evidence. James Comer's committee is keeping the pressure on. Days after releasing a video showing a direct link between a Chinese energy company and now-President Joe Biden's bank account, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability announced the White House not being cooperative when it comes to clearing up questions about the Biden family's dodgy financial practices. And considering the stakes involved, that should make the American people furious.

Biden's Approval Ratings Lowest for an Incumbent Seeking Reelection Since Jimmy Carter. Octogenarian President Joe Biden faces the worst approval numbers of any president one year out from a reelection bid since Jimmy Carter in 1979. And we know what happened to him — a landslide defeat at the hands of Ronald Reagan. [...] At this point in his presidency, Trump's rating was six points higher than Biden's is now. It's not hard to understand why — Joe is arguably one of the worst presidents in our nation's history, and beginning with his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, more and more Americans have started to realize it. As RedState's Bonchie wrote Sunday, inflation and soaring interest rates have killed the middle-class dream for many Americans. "'Bidenomics' was always one of the worst White House messaging campaigns in modern history," he opined.

Dark Times, Dark Outlooks in America: Is the Biden Administration Ruining Us? Israel recently suffered an unprovoked attack in which the radical Islamic terror group Hamas committed some of the worst atrocities ever seen in the history of the modern world. Meanwhile, the United States, having apparently abandoned the post-WW2 Pax Americana that kept the global trade routes free and secure, is embarrassed daily by a man who is almost certainly the weakest president in the history of the republic. Now, Iran is once again poking the eagle. [...] If there is a word for the Biden administration's response to Iran's blustering and, yes, outright attacks on American servicemen, it would be this: impotent. This administration can't even seem to muster a reply to the United Nation's hideously inappropriate appointment of Iran to chair the Human Rights Council Social Forum. What else could we expect from a doddering, confused president who can't even negotiate the stairway into Air Force One?

Comer wants Biden impeached, teases more details on family loans: 'This is going to be a big week'. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer says he wants Congress to impeach President Biden while teasing subpoenas against the first family concerning their overseas dealings. Comer (R-Ky.) is helming an impeachment inquiry of the president — a fact-finding mission into whether Joe Biden engaged in influence peddling schemes during his time as vice president. "I think he should, but that's going to be left up to the speaker," Comer told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" when asked about impeachment. "People ask me why I haven't put someone in jail yet. All I can do is investigate."

A Paid Agent of a Foreign Power. Is it possible that we will actually see a Biden-Trump rematch in 2024? [...] Democrats are nervous about Biden because 1) everyone has now noticed that he is senile, 2) Bidenflation has destroyed the budgets of most American families, 3) the Southern border is a disaster that even Democrats are now running away from, and 4) pretty much every other Biden policy has been a failure, too. But that may not be the worst of it. The ongoing investigation of the Biden crime family, which began in October 2020, is now reaching a crescendo. Everyone who pays attention understands that Biden and his relatives have engaged in an influence peddling scheme that necessarily involved Joe as the key player, since he was the only one who had any influence. Many millions of dollars have now been traced from foreign sources to the Biden coffers.

Hunter Biden Billed for Mystery International Phone Line During Family's Dealings with CEFC. Hunter Biden paid for a mystery international phone line linked to President Joe Biden from 2015-2018, years encompassing the Biden family's dealings with CEFC China Energy Company, emails from the "Laptop from Hell" show. House Oversight Committee chair James Comer alleges Joe Biden received two checks as "loan repayments" from his brother, totaling $240,000 dollars from 2017 to 2018. Comer, along with several lawmakers, has accused the Biden family of "laundering" money. [...] Peter Schweizer, Government Accountability Institute president, said in May that he conveyed a phone number linked to Joe Biden to the House Oversight Committee. He said Hunter Biden paid for the number. "We obtained that phone number, and we've shared it with individuals and the Oversight Committee in Congress is going to subpoena those phone records," he said. "And what's important here is that's not a government phone; this is not Joe Biden's private phone that he's paying for himself. It's actually [Hunter] Biden's business that paid for it."

Biden Can't Escape His China-Scandal Paper Trail. Would the American people have elected Joe Biden, despite the widespread disdain for then-president Donald Trump, if it had been widely understood that Biden was bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist regime? The question presses because, as it turns out, the incumbent president actually is what the media-Democrat complex falsely claimed the prior president was: a clandestine agent of a hostile foreign power — indeed, America's greatest geopolitical foe by whom, it is convincingly argued, we are already confronted in a second Cold War. Scandalous as this story is, it is just as infuriating. Joe Biden's collusion with China is back in the news because the House Oversight Committee has just released its latest report showing "the big guy" actually did get at least one 10 percent payout from the Biden/China scheme, precisely matching his stake in the venture as it was sketched out in a notorious May 2017 email. But this is "news" only because the paper trail is now, inevitably, catching up with the outlines of the story.

Joe Biden Chose Billionaires and Green Radicals Over Auto Workers. "President Biden is the most pro-union president in history" has become the White House's go-to response to the recent strike that had upturned American auto manufacturing. [...] The White House took a victory lap for "solving" a crisis that was Biden's own making. At a press conference Monday, the president called the deal "yet another piece of good economic news showing something I've always believed." But it was Biden's own policies, seeking to radically transform the American auto industry at the behest of environmental activists and their corporate cronies, that spurred on the strike. But Joe has never been one to let the facts get in the way of a good narrative. The strikes backed Biden into a corner. On one side, you had the unholy alliance of auto executives and green radicals, and on the other, the blue-collar voters Biden likely needs for reelection. This was destined from the start to be a political mess, so the President dusted off his most trusty tactic: Lying. Biden would claim that he was the savior of it all.

Joe Biden Refuses to Hand Over Loan Documents to House Oversight Committee for Any 'Loans' He Provided His Brother James Biden. Joe Biden is refusing to hand over loan documents to the House Oversight Committee proving any 'loans' he provided to his brother James Biden. The House Oversight Committee has no IRS records or loan documents confirming the $200,000 check Jim Biden wrote to his brother Joe Biden in 2018 was a 'loan repayment.' House Oversight Chairman James Comer demanded IRS records and applicable loan documents proving Joe Biden loaned his brother James money. The Bidens often structure their income as 'loans' to avoid paying taxes. We saw this with a $5 million wire described as an 'interest-free loan' (a way for Hunter to avoid paying taxes) from a Chinese firm. The Bidens then shuffle the dirty money around to each other as 'loan repayments.' This is classic tax evasion, money laundering, and influence-peddling.

REPORT: National Archives Is Withholding More Than 99% Of Biden's Alias Emails. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) has accused the Biden Administration of obstructing the House's impeachment probe by withholding 99.98 percent of emails sent by President Biden, including thousands written under aliases. The emails are being held by the National Archives and are relevant to the impeachment inquiry into President Biden. The email aliases — "Robert Peters," "Robin Ware," and "JRB Ware" — were used to discuss business and share government information with Hunter Biden and two associates, Eric Schwerin and Devon Archer, Comer's office has revealed. The Southeastern Legal Foundation recently filed a lawsuit calling on the organization to release roughly 5,400 emails. Comer requested that the National Archives to release all communications in which then-Vice President Joe Biden used any of the three pseudonyms. "Joe Biden has stated there was 'an absolute wall' between his family's foreign business schemes and his duties as Vice President, but evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family's influence peddling," Comer wrote in a statement this past August. "The National Archives must provide these unredacted records to further our investigation into the Biden family's corruption."

"Your Money's in Joe's House": The Biden Family's Version of 'It's a Wonderful Life'. [Scroll down] None of this, however, appears to pique much of the media's curiosity. Because the word "loan" was written on some of these documents, it is once again accepted by many at face value. In discussing a "loan" connected to one Hunter-connected company, Rosemont Seneca Bohai, IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley called this a classic tax-evasion move. He said that "when the money came back to him, he booked it as a loan. You then go on to testify that it should've been taxable as soon as it became income from Burisma to Hunter and whatever he did with it after that was really just a scheme to evade taxes for that year. You add that Rosemont Seneca Bohai did not book this as a loan, itself, so Biden is treating it differently than they did." Despite the Bidens' denials about money, it seems to be everywhere and nowhere — metastasizing and spreading throughout the dozens of accounts, banks and family members identified by House investigators. Yet many in the media and most Democratic members of Congress appear to be firmly committed to assuring that all of this remains "a wonderful life" for Joe Biden and his family.

Hunter Biden, Secret Agent? For years, Hunter Biden has been protected by the FBI and probably the CIA and all the other three-letter agencies devoted to national security and spying. His illegal behavior — bribe-taking and money laundering operations — has been made possible by connections to his crooked dad, "The Big Guy," Joe Biden. But I predict Hunter will slither out of his legal problems with the help of the swamp. But not for the reason you think. [...] Was his protection by the FBI on tax evasion, bribery, self-dealing, and FARA violations for political reasons? Definitely. Was the FBI motivated by anti-Trump animus? Yes. Collusion? Yep. Treason? Absolutely. One can't watch what the left and government agencies are doing to Donald Trump and wonder about the duplicitous ways in which these two presidential candidates have been treated. But I have a theory — abject speculation — about how Hunter Biden will get out of his obvious legal problems if the House succeeds in calling for indictments. It's an educated guess, deduced from the evidence from right in front of our faces. Deduced from the Russia Collusion fakery, the Whitmer Fednapping scandal, the J6 scheme, the Watergate CIA story, and every conceivable intelligence scandal you've ever heard of. [...]

House Oversight Committee releases video explaining how Joe Biden allegedly got $40,000 in laundered Chinese money. It's a slow news day and CBS/ABC/CNN/MSNBC aren't going to run this story, but you should see it. Remember 10% for the Big Guy? Remember how Hunter Biden threatened his Chinese associate by telling him his father was sitting with him waiting for his phone call? Rep. James Comer lays out the financial evidence that all of this is connected: [Tweet with video clip]

Direct Line Between Chinese Money and Biden's Bank Account Drawn — 'Future Blackmail'. With a [...] video published Wednesday by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, the potential impeachment of President Joe Biden just got a lot more plausible. Comer, the Kentucky Republican who has been the point man for the GOP investigation of the Biden family's dodgy finances, drew a direct line between money from communist China to Biden's bank account. And he raised the specter of potential foreign blackmail of the man in the White House.

Hunter and Joe Shook Down the Chinese. Then Joe Got a Big Check. The big question was always how Joe Biden, aka the Big Guy, was getting paid Joe Biden and his media allies have made a point of this in defending him. They'll concede that Hunter and even James, Joe's brother, were involved in some shady stuff. They'll concede that Joe Biden lent his influence by showing up to meetings and joining in on calls, but they'll claim that he never got any money. Now Rep. James Comer and the House Oversight Committee are find out how Joe allegedly got paid. And the answer is 'loan repayments.' Earlier in October, House Oversight turned up a "loan repayment" tied to wrecked hospitals and Islamic terrorists.

Republicans unveil another 'personal check' from James and Sara Biden to Joe Biden — this time for $40,000. President Joe Biden is at the center of an extremely lucrative 'extortion scheme' between members of his family and foreign actors — including China — charge Republicans. Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., unveiled a $40,000 direct payment to Joe from 2017 labeled as a 'loan repayment' that he claims is 'laundered money' that can be traced back to the Chinese. Comer's Oversight Committee is spearheading the probe into the Biden family's 'influence peddling' operation as part of the larger impeachment inquiry into the president. According to new bank records they obtained through recent subpoenas for James and Hunter Biden's financial records, a money trail beginning in July 2017 snaked from Chinese oil giant CEFC — one of Hunter's joint ventures — into Joe's account. In WhatsApp messages from August 2017 previously published by DailyMail.com, Hunter demanded $10 million from CEFC, and claimed his father was 'sitting here' next to him during the exchange.

White House Dismisses Latest Hunter Biden Bombshell As 'Lies' And 'Conspiracy Theories'. The White House is dismissing the latest House Oversight Committee report which showed President Joe Biden previously took a $40,000 check from his family members not long after Chinese business associates gave them money. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced in a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday that bank records between the Biden family and its Chinese business associates show Biden took $40,000 of Chinese money in Sept. 2017. White House spokesman for oversight and investigations dismissed the report, calling it "desperate" and writing Comer's claims off as "lies."

Anatomy of a Biden family 'cover-up' executed by our own FBI and DOJ. Closed-door testimony by former Pittsburgh US Attorney Scott Brady to the Senate Judiciary Committee last week is a chilling case study of how credible corruption allegations against President Biden and his family were covered up by the FBI and DOJ — before and after the 2020 election. Brady's testimony fits a pattern revealed by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) last week, in which over 40 confidential human sources gave information to the FBI, over several years, about potential criminal activity involving the president, his brother James and son Hunter. In a blistering letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday, Grassley alleged ongoing efforts "among certain Justice Department and FBI officials to improperly delay and stop full and complete investigative activity into the Biden family." Few people know that better than Brady.

Maybe Jill Biden Is Sauron. Longtime readers of this Briefing know that I find First Lady DOCTOR Mama Jill Biden to be an extraordinarily loathsome human being. If the woman had even an ounce of decency, she wouldn't have let her husband near a camera after his tenure as vice president was up in 2017. Jill Biden is a power-hungry lunatic though, so she doesn't care if her husband continues to embarrass himself in front of the whole world. As long as she gets power, access, and a curious amount of money for a teacher, she doesn't care if her husband's sad and rapid decline is witnessed by everyone on Earth.

Dirty Jill. The reasonable criticism goes that any person who pushes their mentally incapable husband to become president is naturally a bad person committing an act of elder abuse, but Jill Biden's happy warrior-like smiles may hide something even more sinister. Could Jillary be the force behind the so-called Biden Crime Family? It looks suspicious when politicians go into office relatively poor and emerge as millionaires. It's unseemly, bordering on illegal, when politicians transmogrify their public service jobs into personal ATMs and friends into insider traders, and that's why the comparison with Hillary is apt. [...] The Bidens, like most Americans, saw what the Clintons, Obamas, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, and other Democrats (and no doubt some Republicans) were doing and decided to replicate the political-to-professional shakedown. The Biden Crime Family was born, and though greed and grandiosity are woven into the Biden DNA, Jillary was doing her share of pushing.

Archives locates 82,000 pages of Joe Biden pseudonym emails, possibly dwarfing Clinton scandal. Under legal pressure, the National Archives has located 82,000 pages of emails that President Joe Biden sent or received during his vice presidential tenure on three private pseudonym accounts, a total that potentially dwarfs the amount that landed Hillary Clinton in hot water a decade ago, according to a federal court filing released Monday [10/30/2023]. The total of Biden private email exchanges was disclosed Monday in a little-noticed status report filed in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought against the National Archives and Records Administration by the nonprofit public interest law firm the Southeastern Legal Foundation. The foundation brought the lawsuit seeking access to the emails after Just the News revealed a year ago that Joe Biden had used three pseudonym email accounts [...] during the time he served as President Barack Obama's vice president.

82,000 pages of emails where Joe Biden used a pseudonym are uncovered. Joe Biden sent or received 82,000 pages of private email exchanges through three accounts using fake names when he was serving as vice president, according to the National Archives. Joe used a series of pseudonyms on emails that were about both official and family business, according to emails found on Hunter Biden's now-infamous laptop and previously reported by DailyMail.com. But this is the first time the sheer volume of the correspondence has been revealed.

David Weiss's Office Ignored Thoroughly Vetted Evidence Of Biden Corruption. The Delaware U.S. attorney's office received a detailed briefing that established the FD-1023 implicating Hunter and Joe Biden in a Ukrainian bribery scandal was not Russian disinformation and was not sourced to Rudy Giuliani, according to a transcribed interview of former Pittsburgh U.S. Attorney Scott Brady. Yet the Delaware U.S. attorney's office seemingly ignored the work undertaken by the Pittsburgh office and acted with willful blindness to the evidence implicating the now-president and his son. Last Monday, Brady sat for a transcribed interview before the House Judiciary Committee. Over the course of some six hours of questioning, the committee elicited testimony revealing the Pittsburgh office's diligence in tackling the task given by former Attorney General Willam Barr: to screen evidence presented to the Department of Justice related to Ukraine.

Newly-Minted Speaker Mike Johnson Lays Into Joe Biden's Lies and Corruption. The president's story regarding his knowledge of his son's business dealings has dramatically changed over the last year. As far back as 2020, he was insisting that he had not ever spoken to his son about business nor that anyone in his family had taken money from China. Of course, that was always contradictory. How could he know what money his family had made from China, if he had no knowledge of the dealings in the first place? Ultimately, both claims were proven false. So, the question Johnson and most intellectually honest people are asking is why Biden lied. Why continually repeat a falsehood that he had no knowledge of the business dealings if they were all above board? The most logical answer is that they weren't all above board. Why did Biden appear on business phone calls at least 20 times? Why did he receive a $200,000 check from his brother as a "loan repayment" when there's no evidence such a loan ever existed? There are many other connections as well.

This is why he was called "The Senator from MBNA."
Joe Biden sold a house for $1.2 million in 1996 and nearly three decades later it's still only worth $1.65 million. Joe Biden sold a house to a supporter for $1.2 million in 1996 — but it is only worth an estimated $1.65 million 27 years later, DailyMail.com can reveal. The current valuation raised questions over whether Biden received an inflated price for the property from a donor nearly three decades ago. It was purchased by an executive for a credit card company that, in the same year, also hired Biden's son Hunter and then paid him for years.

Yeah, and Joe Biden's not that great, either.
A Coward and a Braggart Leads America. Mr. Biden is a braggart and a coward. He brags about negotiating a ceasefire in the war in the Middle East. He did no such thing. Nobody talked seriously with him. He says it only took him 11 days to stop the fighting between Israel and Hamas. That they stopped fighting does not imply it was the result of his efforts. Then Mr. Biden promised you, the taxpayers of the United States, would rebuild Gaza. Why? Are there not enough targets there now? Why should we put pallets of US money out as future targets? Such an unsolicited promise is both unnecessary and counterproductive. What his braggadocio has done is to allow Hamas to restock. They are preparing to relaunch their next attacks on Israel. The arrogance and ignorance Mr. Biden displays in his remarks show why the Middle East is on fire. He is too stupid to even name the enemy. How can you deal with an enemy successfully when you cannot name them as a minimum starting point? The man has demonstrated no grasp of the situation, the players, or their relationships.

Joe Biden touted as a 'key' figure and a 'wartime' leader? Ever since Joe Biden took office, he has idiotically said climate change is the greatest existential threat to the U.S. and the world. Not Iran with its "death to America" pledges, not China with its dystopian communism, American farmland grabs, and land acquisitions near military bases, not North Korea with its nuclear bombs under the control of an unstable leader, not the Mexican cartels and their human butchery. Nope, the greatest threat is a hypothetical and miniscule temperature increase in the next hundred years or so. The Biden administration then pretends they can prevent this from happening if they could just stop Americans from using crude oil and gas-powered vehicles and equipment, which greatly rewards China. Iran and Russia also love this abject ignorance and arrogance, and appreciate Biden's generosity as he has greatly increased the demand for their oil, thus driving up their revenue, which they use to wage war against their enemies.

Speaker Mike Johnson uses new platform to push Biden impeachment forward. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) used his first television interview as speaker on Thursday to inspire hope regarding the merit of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. "We have the receipts on so much of this now," Johnson told Sean Hannity on Fox News, discussing whether Biden was involved in his family's foreign business dealings. "It's a real problem." "That's the reason that we shifted into the impeachment inquiry stage on the president himself because if, in fact, all the evidence leads to where we believe it will, that's very likely impeachable offenses," he explained. "That's listed as a cause for impeachment in the Constitution — bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors." Johnson noted that "it looks and smells a lot like that."

Johnson as Speaker Changes Everything. History establishes that democracies are innately fragile, enduring but a couple of centuries. Their usual demise is via the temporary stimulus provided by inflation. Once that party ends, economic reality intrudes and the party in power gets blamed. This occurred in 1932 with Hoover, or in 1980 when Carter played the scapegoat. With the Middle East on fire, we are entering a period of political danger for not only Democrats, but Republicans as well. The blame for current economic conditions now hangs around Biden's neck. The less Johnson's fiscal initiatives succeed, the better for Republicans in the long run. A debt commission keeps the spotlight where it belongs — on Biden's planned chaos. If Biden vetoes House bills slashing spending, he drags his party down with him.

Phrases that aren't that great:
Phrases that grate. The phrase "you can't make this up" has become a tiresome incantation, often reflecting bemusement at Biden's petulant policies. Instead, how about "inexplicable," or "incomprehensible," to succinctly capture his compunction to reverse Trump's America First policies? Unfortunately, one can make this up because Biden is malevolently mad. His unfathomable DEI and ESG imperatives are impervious to rationality.

Comer demands WH prove $200K check to Biden from brother was for a loan. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Thursday said that his committee does not possess any bank records to show that President Joe Biden ever gave a loan to his brother James and asked that the president's legal team produce documentation of the alleged loan. Comer previously revealed the discovery of a $200,000 check that James Biden made to Joe Biden in 2018 linked to the failing healthcare firm Americore. The White House has claimed that James was repaying a loan to his brother, though Comer has expressed skepticism of that story.

Republican questions if James Biden's $200,000 payment to brother Joe was a personal loan — because there was no interest. Republicans are ramping up scrutiny of a $200,000 'loan repayment' check from James Biden to his brother Joe — made out while the family was using their last name to 'cash in' on foreign deals. Oversight Chairman James Comer — who is leading the impeachment inquiry into Joe — is pressing the White House for more information because he believes the check is the strongest evidence yet that the president was directly involved in his family's business dealings. According to bankruptcy court documents, James Biden took the money from his health care business Americore and sent it directly to his brother Joe Biden in 2018.

7 Takeaways From Grassley's Latest Findings on FBI Corruption in Biden Probe. Long before the House opened an impeachment inquiry targeting President Joe Biden, the FBI had been investigating potential influence peddling by the president and his family in China, Ukraine, and elsewhere, according to information released by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. In the newest wrinkle of an unfolding legal drama for the president's family, Grassley, co-founder of the Senate Whistleblower Caucus, revealed that for more than a decade, about 40 confidential informants have talked to the FBI about the Bidens. Grassley signed a letter Tuesday seeking answers on these allegations from Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray. In it, Grassley wrote that whistleblowers in the Justice Department, which is run by Garland and includes Wray's FBI, have told his Senate office that officials tampered with key information streams and stymied the probe into the Bidens.

Biden is Obstructing Israel's Fight Against Hamas. Biden and administration officials began pressuring Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israeli officials to avoid civilian casualties almost right after the Hamas attacks. Warnings that were initially relayed in phone conversations were leaked to the media. And shortly after they became public warnings. During his speech, three days after the attacks, Biden introduced the emphasis on following the "laws of war" that everyone in his administration would echo. Administration officials took up the theme with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin lecturing Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on "the importance of adhering to the law of war, including civilian protection obligations, and addressing the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza." Avoiding civilian casualties while fighting terrorists whose defensive strategy is hiding behind civilians and embedding their infrastructure around mosques, schools and hospitals is impossible. But as a result of Biden's pressure campaign, Israel issued more warnings, allowing civilians, but also Hamas terrorists, to abandon areas and infrastructure they knew were targets. But that still wasn't good enough.

FBI And Its Foreign Influence Task Force Purged Sources Who Were Onto Biden Corruption. The FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force used a sham assessment opened by FBI headquarters to cull reporting from confidential human sources (CHS) throughout the country related to the Biden family and then falsely brand the intelligence as "foreign disinformation," Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed Wednesday. Wednesday's explosive news suggests the DOJ and FBI's Biden-family protection program encompassed many more players than previously known. But it is the involvement of the Foreign Influence Task Force that demands an immediate response by the House, namely the launching of an impeachment inquiry of FBI Director Christopher Wray, under whose watch this task force abused its power — and interfered in a presidential election. Late Wednesday afternoon, Grassley released a seven-page letter that, while addressed to Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, spoke to the American public, telling them of evidence of "significant political bias infecting the decision-making of not only the Attorney General and FBI Director, but also line agents and prosecutors." Grassley's letter summarized the evidence he has gathered over the last two years, with the assistance of Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and multiple whistleblowers.

Four Astounding Facts You Need to Know About Your Government. Things are not okay. Things are about to get worse. What you are about to read is all true and documented. Everyone needs — and deserves — to know just how far our nation has fallen. [#1] The Biden Crime Family/Spy Ring Is Real: The Oversight Committee is churning out ~~evidence~~ proof of the Biden family's overseas skullduggery almost weekly. [Tweet] [#2] Joe Biden Used Aliases on 5,400 Emails Involving His Overseas Family Chicanery: After much heel-dragging, the dedicated pinkos at the National Archives finally gavaged a vat of Ipecac from the Oversight Committee and chundered up the 5,400 emails Gropey Joe sent or received using one of several funky noms de plume. [...] [#4] There Appear to Be Iranian Spies in the State Department, and No One Is Doing Anything About It: [...] Pentagon official Ariane Tabatabai is accused of being a spy, but she has somehow kept her security clearance.

Joe Biden has blown up the world. On day one of the Biden administration, he canceled the Keystone Pipeline, putting thousands of skilled workers out of work. Over the ensuing months, he canceled oil leases, stopped fracking, and drained our strategic oil reserve. All this was surely intentional; he means to starve the American people of energy, making what is available more expensive by the day. Like Obama, he means to transform America, and not in a good way. The most catastrophic stunt Biden pulled was the tragically ill conceived withdrawal from Afghanistan. He left billions in state-of-the-art military equipment to the Taliban along with the Bagram Air Base, which sits close to China. Thirteen young American patriots were killed by the sheer ineptitude of their leaders. This tragic maneuver telegraphed Biden's, and thus America's, weakness to every leader in the world. Russia thought taking Ukraine's Russian-speaking border regions would be a cakewalk. Our careless warmongers in the Biden administration thought their puppet-of-the-oligarchs Zelensky would easily defeat Russia with billions of U.S. dollars. The military complex wanted that war. All of that went awry. Here we are a year and a half later; Ukraine has lost half a million people and is still begging for billions more in aid. None of this would have happened if Trump had been in office.

Grassley: FBI Received 'Criminal Information' From Over 40 Confidential Sources on Biden Family. On Wednesday, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed that the FBI received 'criminal information' from over 40 confidential human sources on Joe, Hunter, and James Biden — dating back to Joe Biden's time as Vice President. According to Grassley's letter which was obtained by Fox News, the task force in the Washington Field Office shut down the reporting from the sources which eventually halted investigative activity. "Based on the information provided to my office over a period of years by multiple credible whistleblowers, there appears to be an effort within the Justice Department and FBI to shut down investigative activity relating to the Biden family," Grassley wrote in a letter to US Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray. "Such decisions point to significant political bias infecting the decision-making of not only the Attorney General and FBI Director, but also line agents and prosecutors." Grassley wrote: "Our Republic cannot survive such a political infection and you have an obligation to this country to clear the air."

FBI received 'criminal information' from over 40 confidential sources on Joe Biden, Hunter, James [according to] Grassley. The FBI maintained more than 40 confidential human sources on various criminal matters related to the Biden family, including Joe Biden, dating back to his time as vice president, according to information obtained by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. The confidential human sources "provided criminal information to the FBI relating to Joe Biden, James Biden, and Hunter Biden." Those confidential human sources were managed by multiple FBI field offices across the nation, including the FBI's Seattle Field Office. But Grassley learned that an FBI task force within the Washington Field Office sought to, and in some cases, successfully, shut down reporting and information from those sources by falsely discrediting the information as foreign disinformation. That effort "caused investigative activity to cease."

Trump mocks Biden for 'sleeping on the beach all day' while 'World War III is going on'. Former President Donald Trump has mocked President Joe Biden for using the 'children's stairs' to board Air Force One — while prodding the president over photos that showed him napping on the beach while at a Monday rally in New Hampshire. The visit to the Granite State saw Trump, 77, finally make his candidacy official — after which he spoke to supporters for some 100 minutes in Derry and gleefully slapped around his embattled successor. Specifically, the GOP frontrunner honed in on the 80-year-old commander-in-chief's series of stumbling incidents, and the fact that he has been using a shorter staircase than usual to board and deplane the storied Air Force One.

Did Biden-Appointed U.S. Attorneys Give Jim Biden's Americore Scandal The Hunter Biden Treatment? Bank records released Friday show Joe Biden received $200,000 from funds his brother Jim Biden siphoned from the failing health care company Americore. Beyond providing more proof that President Biden directly profited from the family influencing-selling business, this new evidence raises serious questions concerning whether Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys ignored Jim Biden's involvement in the Americore scandal. On Friday, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability released a copy of a $200,000 check Jim Biden wrote to Joe Biden on March 1, 2018 — the same day Americore wired $200,000 to Jim and his wife Sara's personal bank account. As I detailed Monday at The Federalist, evidence indicates Jim Biden pushed the former CEO of Americore, Grant White, to lend him those funds, along with another $400,000, promising to repay the loans after he delivered tens of millions of dollars in foreign investments to Americore.

Watch Out, You Might Get What You're After. The crumbling debt sodden American Empire is being led by an outright moron and anyone expecting Biden to do anything other than make things worse, has probably been jabbed five times, has a BLM, Israel, and Ukraine flag in their Twitter profile, and still thinks Hunter Biden's laptop is Russian disinformation. The U.S. provoked Ukraine conflict has drained the coffers of the U.S. and EU of hundreds of billions, while depleting their precious armaments, just as WW3 launches. With the Middle East set to explode in a ball of fire, the world's flow of precious oil, is in danger of being cutoff abruptly. Luckily, Dementia Joe depleted our Strategic Petroleum Reserve for election purposes, leaving us with 17 days worth of supply. Maybe Biden's green energy windmill and solar farms will fill the gap when gasoline prices soar to $6.00 a gallon and 1970s like gas lines become common again.

Joe Biden's $200K Check Shows He Profited From The Family Biz To The Detriment Of Innocent Creditors. Bank records released on Friday show Joe Biden received $200,000 from funds his brother Jim Biden siphoned from the failing health care company Americore. Beyond providing more proof that President Biden directly profited from his family's selling of influence, this new evidence — when read together with Americore's bankruptcy filings — reveals Joe has the money that rightfully belongs to innocent creditors. On Friday, James Comer, the chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, announced that bank records, provided in response to subpoenas the committee issued last month, revealed Jim Biden wrote a $200,000 check to his brother, now-President Joe Biden, on March 1, 2018 — the same day the failed Americore wired $200,000 to Jim and his wife Sara's personal bank account.

He can relax because he's not really in charge of anything.
Biden Enjoys Breezy Beach Walk as Middle East Explodes. President Joe Biden has been seen in pictures and videos enjoying a weekend of walks on Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, as Hamas terrorists pushed their campaign of destruction against Israel and the U.S. placed additional troops on prepare-to-deploy orders to the Middle East. One short clip shows the octogenarian and first lady Jill Biden strolling the Atlantic beachfront on Sunday while a reporter off screen asks him about the release of Americans being held hostage by Hamas terrorists. Biden cheerily waves towards the reporter but does not stop to answer questions before continuing his jocund seaside perambulation.

US Palestinians, Muslims fear a return to post-9/11 Islamophobia. As the Israel-Hamas War rages and the crisis in Gaza deepens, Taher Herzallah said he has exchanged frantic messages on social media with his family members who are trapped in Gaza. Their description of the situation is grim. He said they've told him they have no food, electricity, water or fuel. "When I spoke to them ... they were basically saying, 'We think this is it, we will not survive this one,'" he said. "You can only imagine what that feels like for Palestinian Americans who are getting these stories from their families right now." Herzallah said his concerns for his family thousands of miles away have also been compounded by a growing fear for the safety of his wife and children here in the US, as reports of attacks against people perceived to be Muslim or Palestinian surface across the country.

5 lies our government wants us to believe. [#4] "Hunter Biden's laptop has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." This lie was promoted by Biden's 2020 presidential campaign manager Antony Blinken, 51 top U.S. intelligence servicemen, and the media, which helped "the Big Guy" get elected.

Comer: More "Suspicious Checks" From Jim Biden That Joe Biden Was the Beneficiary Of Will Be Released Soon. Remember when Joe Biden, in a 'catch me if you can' moment taunted reporters asking about his family's corruption and asked, "Where's the money?" [Tweet with video clip] Well, Congressional Republicans found the money and produced the receipts. House Oversight Chairman James Comer told Fox News host Sean Hannity that more suspicious checks from Jim Biden to his brother Joe Biden will be released this week. On Friday, Comer uncovered a $200,000 direct payment to Joe Biden.

Are we starting to find out how Joe Biden got himself that $2.7 million mansion? Joe Biden has always been a man of mystery as to how he obtained his wealth, reportedly in the $90 million range. He doesn't understand markets, so we know it wasn't his investment acumen. He's an expert at nothing and has never written a significant book anyone would want to read. We also know that he's not much of a public speaker, stumbling his way through speeches, so he probably couldn't make much on speaking fees, though that could be a disguised avenue of bribery, particularly if fees are inflated. Still, it wouldn't explain $90 million. He's has been in public office for his entire working life, though, he has that, some fifty-plus years in the halls of power, so while he theoretically doesn't have time to amass wealth the way the private sector does, he somehow has anyway. [...] But now that the House Oversight Committee under Rep. James Comer's capable leadership is examining things, it seems most likely he made it the old fashioned political way — through naked political bribery.

James Biden receives $200k from a failing hospital, then immediately writes a check to Joe for the same amount. Looks like Representative James Comer found another smoking gun. [...] The media, members of the Biden regime, and other Democrats have known for years how the corrupt Joe has taken his family around the world, lining their pockets with kickbacks based on Biden's political power. Yet, no matter how much evidence they see, we hear the same old talking points; there is always nothing to see.

The worst since Carter. Former President Jimmy Carter left office in 1981 — 42 years ago, if you remember. Today, the former president and Mrs. Carter are in Georgia gracefully facing the end. For the record, I always thought that Carter was a decent man who should have never been president. He won the "Watergate" election and there is not a lot about his presidency that we care to remember. Today, we remember President Carter because of President Biden, or Carter II as John Kaas wrote: [...] Yes, I always felt that Carter was a patriot but weak and at least surrounded by people who loved the country. I am sorry but that's not how I feel today. Carter made mistakes, but he was in charge. Biden is making mistakes because he is not in charge. Biden allowed climate change fanatics to run his energy policy. He let immigration activists open the border and create chaos everywhere. He withdrew from Afghanistan in the worst possible way. So Carter was doing his best but Biden doesn't have a clue.

Meet Jim Biden: Nightclub Owner, International Business Mogul, Joe's Bagman. Seemingly his entire life, Joe Biden's brother James "Jim" Biden has benefitted from his brother's political status. At various moments, he has been a campaign finance maven, a nightclub owner, and a hedge fund mastermind. Jim appears to be a man who wears many hats; but in actuality, he only wears one: Joe Biden's brother. I detail many of the ways he has lived large thanks to his big bro in my new New York Times bestselling book Breaking Biden. One place where James clearly leveraged his proximity to power for money was with Americore Health. Near the end of the Obama administration, James Biden joined Americore, which operated hospitals in several states.

Joe Biden paid nearly $2.75 million CASH for Rehoboth Beach house within weeks of Hunter sending 'threatening' text to Chinese business partner. It's Joe Biden's favorite place — his summer home in Delaware where he has decamped dozens of times during his 1,000 days as Commander-in-Chief. As DailyMail.com revealed on Tuesday he has spent at least 300 of those days either in the country's second smallest state or on vacation. He bought the home at a time that it appeared his political career was over — five months after his Vice-Presidency had ended he was well into his 70s and after all he had decided to forgo a 2016 run for the top job. But now that house in the tiny town of Rehoboth Beach could turn out to be a major embarrassment as Republicans continue their push to find business links between the 46th president and his son Hunter. DailyMail.com has discovered that then-private-citizen Biden, who had spent virtually all his adult life in public service, bought the home for slightly under $2.75 million — in cash.

Investigators looking into influence-peddling unveil $200,000 check to Joe Biden. Much powerful evidence of the Biden family's influence-peddling operations, which reportedly brought members tens of millions of dollars in recent years as Joe Biden was vice president to Barack Obama, then president, already has been released. There are huge payments from Russia and China, and the threats Hunter Biden made to one "associate" who apparently hadn't paid up as agreed, when Hunter Biden said he was with his father and wanted the money immediately. There's that FBI document in which an informant, a longtime trusted informant, charges that a Ukrainian official confirmed $5 million bribes to each Joe and Hunter Biden. Now there's more documentation that raises questions — that need to be answered.

Biden Received Direct Payment from Brother after 'Shady' Loan Transaction, Bank Records Reveal. President Joe Biden received a $200,000 personal check from his brother shortly after James Biden received a "shady" loan in the same amount, House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) revealed Friday [10/20/2023]. James Biden's now-bankrupt healthcare business, Americore, sent him the wire loan on March 1, 2018, the same day he paid back his influential brother, according to bank records. This is the first hard evidence linking Joe Biden to influence-peddling schemes. In 2018 alone, Americore wired $600,000 in loans to James Biden. The president's brother received these loans on the assumption that the Biden name "could 'open doors' and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections," Comer said in a video, citing bankruptcy court documents he obtained.

CNN praises the IRS for 'cracking down' on tax cheats; fails to realize they just described Hunter Biden. CNN operatives can't really be so naïve that they actually believe the IRS wouldn't have been able to collect these taxes without passing the falsely named "Inflation Reduction Act" can they? [...] Hunter Biden failed to pay taxes some years, and allegedly raided his own daughter's college savings account to pay for prostitutes (and who knows what else). This behavior certainly constitutes fraud, but the IRS and the (In)Justice Department have been extremely soft on him. He is the son of a Democrat president, therefore, he is special. The media and other Democrats have known how Joe enabled his family to collect kickbacks around the world because of his powerful political position and really don't [care]. [...] Incidentally, there is no statute of limitations for people like Hunter who intentionally commit criminal tax evasion. So why are the prosecutors acting like there is? Why is the public intentionally being misinformed?

James Comer Uncovers Direct Payment to Joe Biden from His Family's Influence Peddling Scheme. The House Oversight Committee is investigating the influence-peddling scheme of the Biden family and has discovered a payment made directly to President Joe Biden. The president has in the past challenged the investigators by asking, "Where is the money?" Rep. James Comer says they have found money, and that the paper trail doesn't seem ambiguous.

Biden's Speech From the Oval Office Was So Bad, the YouTube Channel Turned Off Commenting. Just how bad was Joey the Biden's speech begging for another $100 billion (mostly for Ukraine and Hamas terrorists? It was so bad, that not only did whoever runs Biden's White House Youtube channel turn off commenting after the reviews started pouring in, but they also disabled the like count (meaning an embarrassing low amount of viewers actually liked the video). The "speech" lasted about 15 minutes, but the Youtube is set to about 30 minutes, with 15 minutes of "we'll start soon" or something. [Video clip]

Biden Ties Israel to Ukraine in Oval Office Address from White House Bathed in Red Light. President Joe Biden attempted to tie the terrorist attacks in Israel to the Russia-Ukraine War during his pitch from the Oval Office to send aid to both countries as the White House was bathed in red light. Two minutes into his remarks, Biden pivoted from speaking about Hamas's terrorist attacks that murdered more than 1,300 in Israel several weeks ago to "the brutality inflicted on the people of Ukraine." "You know, the assault on Israel echoes nearly 20 months of war, tragedy, and brutality inflicted on the people of Ukraine, people that were very badly hurt since Putin launched his all-out invasion," he said.

Biden Delivers Oval Office Speech, Wants $100 Billion for Israel and Ukraine. President Biden delivered a speech to the nation from the Oval Office Thursday evening after returning from Israel in the aftermath of the Hamas terror attacks on October 7. He said he's going to ask Congress to appropriate $100 billion in new funding to combat Hamas and continue to aid Ukraine in its war against Russia. Reportedly, he wants $60 billion more for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel. [...] Interestingly, the White House was lit red before the speech began. [Tweet]

The Editor says...
That adds up to $94 billion. Is the other $6 billion for the Big Guy? Or is the "$100 billion" figure just an exaggeration?

Biden's Oval Office Address Met With Harsh Criticism. On Thursday night, Biden announced he would send Congress an urgent joint budget request to express his support for Israel and Ukraine. [...] It was not made clear the amount of the package, but insisted it would "keep American troops out of harm's way." Biden promised the aid package would include enough funds to ensure the country could continue to defend itself from the deadly attacks from the terrorist group Hamas. He added that it would also "sharpen" Israel's military. According to sources close to the matter, ABC News noted that the supplemental request will include "$60 billion for Ukraine and replenishing U.S. stockpiles, $14 billion for Israel, $10 billion for humanitarian efforts, $14 billion for the border and $7 billion for the Indo-Pacific region." The Biden Administration is under immense scrutiny after critics slam the president for using hard-working American taxpayer's dollars to pay for the ongoing wars.

The Editor says...
He wants $14 billion for which border? (Its not safe to presume he's talking about the Mexico-U.S. border.) And what's going on in "the Indo-Pacific region" that requires billions of dollars?

Biden Word Salad Casts Doubt About Whether He Even Knows What's Going On. "Can you talk about the impact of meeting survivors and the first responders?" a reporter asked. "That's all personal. Look, I — I spent an hour and a half, about, with 17 or 18 before — I spent with them and — I don't know how to say this," he before slowly trying to piece together a response that made some sense and failing. [...] [Tweet with video clip] It sure sounds like Joe Biden doesn't even know what he's talking about here, which is scary, but at the very least, he doesn't look or sound well, and it's amazing he was allowed to continue speaking for so long without his handlers whisking him away.

What is going on with Joe Biden's face? President Joe Biden appeared to grow a mushy butt chin while making remarks to the press at Ramstein Air Base in Germany following his trip to Israel. [Tweet] Say what you want about Joe Biden, but he's normally a pretty thin fellow. But in this video, his typically tight jawline appears to have melted into half-a-day-old ice cream. [Tweet] It's possible a busy trip to the Middle East and lack of sleep are affecting our 80-year-old president's physical appearance. But that doesn't make his Wicked Witch of the West-like transformation any less jarring.

It's 3 AM — Who Gets the Call? Not climate change — nuclear war is humanity's most immediate threat. During these tumultuous times, we're burdened with Biden, an obstreperous oaf who has sole authority to launch nuclear weapons. That's not propitious for the future of life. There has been legitimate consternation over the geriatric nature of our leaders, especially Biden. That has led to a chorus of calls for cognitive tests. They will help identify intellectual infants including Biden, but when it comes to the most impactful decision a commander-in-chief can make, there's something else we must do. To give us more time to deliberate the fate of humanity, we must end sole authority to access the "nuclear football" via a vote in Congress. Concomitantly, we'd have to mollify our hair-trigger posture by reducing reliance on land-based ICBMs in favor of our submerged Boomers.

Jordan and Egypt Cancel Summit With Joe Biden. Joe Biden was literally in the air, flying toward the region when Jordan's King Abdullah just cancelled the summit between Egyptian President al-Sisi, Abdullah and Biden. This is more than a little sunlight on who Abdullah was talking about earlier when he said, "the usual suspects were trying to create Defacto issues on the ground." [...] Now tell me again, why Joe Biden is going to Israel? What strategic value is within this visit? Yesterday I provided some of my own thoughts on the motives. "The people behind Joe Biden are sending him to Israel for (1) part of a rebranding effort; and (2) to impede Netanyahu and buy time for Hamas." Today, Caroline Glick affirms my perspective and also gives some troubling information about: (a) the White House demanding an invitation; and (b) Anthony Blinken threatening Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu to hold back the ground invasion or the U.S. will not allow munitions and bombs Israel needs for resupply.

Is Biden's Classified Docs Scandal Connected to the Biden Family Business? When Joe Biden left the vice presidency in 2017, he took with him several boxes of documents that contained classified documents. At no point did Biden have the authority to declassify the documents, and the seriousness of the situation was made worse by the apparent cover-up by the White House. Originally, we were told the documents were found in early November 2022, before the midterms, but we didn't learn about them until after the new year. Last week, we learned that the White House appeared to know about the classified documents at the Penn Biden Center as early as March 2021.

The world is on fire and Joe Biden is the arsonist. President Joe Biden 's reckless decision to abruptly withdraw United States troops from Afghanistan in August 2021 set into motion an unstoppable sequence of events that have made the world a far more dangerous place. From heads of state to the legacy media, people everywhere recognized that the aftershocks of Biden's catastrophic withdrawal would be felt for years to come. America's humiliating military retreat had shaken the balance of power across the globe profoundly and irrevocably. Though Biden placed blame for the chaos that ensued at the hands of the inept Afghan National Army and even on former President Donald Trump, his responsibility was clear. His massive display of weakness and his abdication of duty as the leader of the free world had created a power vacuum. And, well aware of the opportunity this presented, the tyrants of the world joined forces to exploit it.

Mollie Hemingway: People Can Not Trust Intelligence Agencies Because Of Their Actions, Inability To Repent. The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway reacted to Leon Panetta refusing to acknowledge the Hunter Biden laptop is real and to apologize for adding his signature to the letter signed by over 50 intelligence officials declaring the Hunter Biden laptop to be inauthentic and Russian propaganda. "When The New York Post broke the news about this Hunter Biden laptop and what it showed about the Biden family business, it was squashed by these 50 former Intel agents falsely asserting that it was Russian disinformation," Hemingway said. "So we were actually the victim of a disinformation operation run by those people." [Video clip]

Special Counsel Probing Biden Docs May Have Evidence Of Influence-Peddling, And Comer Wants To See It. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer is concerned that some of the classified documents concealed by President Joe Biden at his Penn Biden Center office and in his Delaware garage contained information about the countries involved in the foreign business deals that enriched the Biden family by millions of dollars during the Obama administration. In a Monday morning letter, Comer urged Special Counsel Robert Hur to share the documents and testimonies he collected during his investigation of Biden's document scandal with the committee so they can continue their investigation into the first family's apparent pay-for-play scheme.

Hard Evidence Warranting The Impeachment Of Joe Biden. In a staggering act of journalistic deceit, the New York Times is reporting that Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden without any "evidence of financial wrongdoing or corruption by the president." Similar statements have been made by a massive array of media outlets and Democrat politicians. In reality, overwhelming proof of Joe Biden's corruption and wrongdoing has been found, including hard evidence like written records and corroborated testimonies from first-hand witnesses. Collectively, at least 12 sets of documented facts leave no reasonable doubt that Biden participated in his son's illicit business deals, bribed foreign officials, and obstructed justice. Moreover, no less than three major defenses of Biden are demonstrably false. [...]

Joe Biden's brother Jim is tied to fraud scheme. Confidential Treasury documents reveal President Biden's younger brother is embroiled in an allegedly fraudulent scheme in which he used business loans to pay off personal expenses. James 'Jim' Biden, 74, is named in three Suspicious Activity Reports filed by banks to the Treasury Department and exclusively viewed by DailyMail.com, tying him to the alleged fraud. The documents were uncovered during an investigation of James Biden's former business partner, Michael Lewitt, who has been charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with 'misappropriating' $4.7 million from his hedge fund.

Dr. Jill Helps a Confused Joe Biden Shuffle Off Stage. Joe Biden on Saturday delivered remarks at the 2023 Human Rights Campaign National Dinner. As usual, Biden's speech was full of gaffes and lies. "We made human rights for LGBT around the world a top priority of my foreign policy ... defending human rights in countries to pass anti-gay laws!" Biden shouted. [...] After delivering a brief speech, Biden looked around confused. Dr. Jill came to the rescue and guided Biden off stage. [Tweet with video clip]

Were Joe Biden's classified memos valuable to Hunter's clients? Congress wants to know. Nearly a year after the American public was informed that Joe Biden had classified documents at his home and think tank office, lawmakers in Congress have a pressing question: Was there anything in those memos valuable to his son Hunter's overseas business clients? The issue catapulted to prominence recently when House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, showed up at the House Oversight Committee's first impeachment inquiry hearing and said there was real reason to fear that Hunter Biden's clients had an interest in the memos that Joe Biden improperly secreted away at his home and office. "Obviously, his son was receiving payments from Romania, Russia, Ukraine, China," Turner said last month. "If there are in those documents that relate to, for example, the prosecutor in Ukraine or Burisma itself or other aspects of Ukraine or any of the parties or individuals obviously, that were making payments to Hunter Biden, that would be relevant, wouldn't it?"

Panetta Repeats Debunked Russian Disinformation Claims on Laptop. Last night, many of us responded to the statement of Leon Panetta, former CIA Director in the Obama Administration, that he "has no regrets" about signing the now infamous letter of 51 former intelligence officials suggesting that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Even more unsettling were his comments that he believes it could still be Russian disinformation. It turns out that even with American intelligence, the media, and Hunter Biden himself acknowledging authenticity, it can still be Russian disinformation. Panetta has become the personification of the economic theory of path dependence. No matter how much countervailing evidence is presented to Panetta, he still refuses to accept the authenticity of the laptop.

Joe Makes It Up a Flight of Stairs. Earlier today, Joe Biden gave a speech in Philadelphia. He had to climb a short flight of stairs — five or six steps — to get to the podium. Biden, trying to look jaunty, tripped twice and almost didn't make it. When he got to the top step he mugged proudly to the crowd, as if it were an accomplishment. That is where we are. It is a relief to all if our president can walk up a few stairs without falling down.

Evidence Shows Federal Workers And Biden Insiders Covered Up Classified Docs For Over A Year. The House Oversight and Accountability Committee announced it has evidence a team of at least five White House employees, President Joe Biden's personal attorneys, a Department of Defense employee, and more covered up the president's documents scandal for more than a year and lied about it. While the president's lawyers said that the classified documents, which were kept from Biden's time as vice president, were discovered at the Penn Biden Center on Nov. 2, 2022, the House Oversight Committee has compiled "evidence showing the timeline of relevant events began in 2021 and involved at least five White House employees." "There is no reasonable explanation as to why this many White House employees and lawyers were so concerned with retrieving boxes they believed only contained personal documents and materials," said Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer in a letter to White House counsel Edward Siskel.

Five White House Employees Involved in Biden's Stolen Classified Docs Case — Biden Lied About Timeline!. The House Oversight Committee this week revealed that five White House employees were involved in Biden's stolen classified documents case. Joe Biden STOLE SCIF-designated classified documents and improperly stored them at the Penn Biden Center. Biden also stored classified documents in his garage next to his Corvette where his son Hunter had access to the sensitive materials. Nine boxes of documents were taken from Joe Biden's lawyer's Boston office and we have no idea what is in those boxes because the National Archives is covering up for Biden. Joe Biden also withheld information from the Senate Intel Committee. Recall that it was reported that Joe Biden's attorney first discovered "Obama-Biden administration documents in a locked closet while packing files as they prepare to close out Biden's office in the Penn Biden Center" in November 2022. This timeline presented by Biden's attorney is of course a lie.

Bret Baier Stunned by Astonishing Comment From Leon Panetta About Disinformation and Hunter Biden Laptop. Baier asked Panetta if he had any regrets, given what he knew now about the laptop. But Panetta gave an incredible answer, saying he had been very concerned about Russian interference and disinformation, doubling down on the claim of it potentially being Russian disinformation, saying his concern was to alert the public. Then he even said he hadn't seen anything from any intelligence agency that indicated that the laptop wasn't disinformation. [Tweet with video clip] "You don't think it was real?" Baier asked him, incredulous. "I think disinformation is involved here," Panetta claimed. "I think Russian disinformation is part of what we're seeing everywhere. I don't trust the Russians. That's exactly why I was concerned that the public not trust the Russians either." That's one heck of a spin job there; there's no evidence at all that the Russians were involved in the laptop. And even in that infamous letter, the signers admitted they had no evidence to support this contention. Meanwhile, media outlets have confirmed the laptop was real. Hunter Biden is now trying to go after people for revealing the information on the laptop, which is why Baier said that Hunter had admitted (essentially) that it was his laptop.

Obama's Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Who Signed Letter Labeling Hunter Biden's Laptop as Russian Disinformation, Says He Has No Regrets. In October 2020 — just days before the presidential election — 51 former intelligence officials signed and published a letter that baselessly decried the contents of Hunter's 'laptop from hell' had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." This was a lie. They all knew it was a lie. In March, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) introduced a House Resolution that would strip security clearances from dozens of federal intelligence officials who signed on to the letter declaring the infamous Hunter Biden laptop as "Russian disinformation" shortly after it emerged leading up to the rigged 2020 election. John Solomon reported that an active CIA employee was recruiting intel leaders to sign the bogus Hunter Biden laptop letter. Joe Biden and current Secretary of State Tony Blinken were reportedly behind the effort to put together a list of government intel leaders to claim that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. This narrative was another liberal lie.

Hunter Biden Judge Dismisses Old Gun Charge. US District Judge Maryellen Noreika on Wednesday agreed to formally drop a gun charge against Hunter Biden after a new indictment replaced his collapsed plea deal. Recall that Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal collapsed in July after Judge Maryellen Noreika realized Hunter's lawyers were trying to pull a fast one on her. Hunter was only charged with two misdemeanors related to tax fraud and would have avoided prison time on a felony gun charge. Prosecutors went easy on Hunter and handled the gun charge as a "diversion case."

Donald the Inevitable. If Donald Trump were president, the vaccine would never have been mandatory. If Donald Trump were president, Putin would not have invaded Donbas. If Donald Trump were president, inflation would be 1.4%. If Donald Trump were president, Iran would not be funding Palestine's suicidal assault on Israel. But he is not president and so we have to play our cards as dealt. For now.

Admit the Obvious: Barack Obama Uses Biden to 'Transform America'. He told us he would like to serve a third term in office. He even detailed how he would accomplish it. And now he is doing it. He is effectively transforming America into a Communist Muslim hell hole, just as he said he would, just as his every action conveys. Yes, America is falling to the greatest imposter ever to set foot on American soil: Barack Hussein Obama. But everyone still says it was Biden who funded Iran with $6 billion. They decry that Biden keeps the border open. Bidenomics is destroying our economy. Biden's DHS feeds the child sex-trafficking industry. Biden's FBI now is targeting MAGA! Would you please all just stop it? It isn't Biden. It's Obama who is doing this to us! Every time we assign blame to Biden for each progressive crime against humanity and against American sovereignty, we camouflage and thereby enable the real doer of all the evil. Joe Biden now has the mind of a six-year-old child. He hasn't the capacity to change his own underwear, let alone rule a nation. But our continued willful ignorance in not seeing how this further enables the real architect of America's destruction is inexcusable. As long as Barack Obama is kept hidden behind the curtain, the collapse of America proceeds — and at an ever-rapid pace.

As VP, Joe Biden Emailed His Brother And Son About Foreign Business More Than 29,000 Times. President Joe Biden denied long before he was inaugurated that he ever discussed business with his son. A new FOIA obtained by America First Legal via lawsuit, however, revealed that Joe emailed his son Hunter Biden, his brother James "Jim" Biden, and their respective firms tens of thousands of times over the course of his vice presidency. In a joint status report published by the Washington D.C. District Court on Friday, the National Archives and Records Administration reluctantly admitted that it knew of 4,243 emails between then-Vice President Joe and Hunter Biden, another 1,751 emails between Joe and Jim, 19,335 emails between Joe and Hunter's private equity firm Rosemont Seneca, and 3,738 emails between Joe and Jim's Chinese-communist party connected consulting firm Lion Hall Group. Joe, Hunter, Jim, and the firms listed in the court documents are at the center of the GOP investigation into the Biden family influence-peddling operation.

FOIA: Over 29,000 Emails Exist Between Biden Family Businesses and VP Biden's Office. The National Archives (NARA) revealed that more than 29,000 emails exist between Biden family business members and then-Vice President Joe Biden's office, a Joint Status Report obtained by Breitbart News from America First Legal (AFL) revealed Tuesday. NARA disclosed the record of the emails after ALF filed a FOIA request on August 9, 2022. The extent to which then-Vice President Joe Biden's office communicated with Joe Biden's family about its ventures was unknown before the lawsuit.

Testimony Of D.C. U.S. Attorney Who Declined To Prosecute Hunter Biden Raises Huge Red Flag. Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss told Congress that Attorney General Merrick Garland had granted him ultimate authority over the Hunter Biden investigation and that, if need be, he would be appointed a "special attorney" under a federal statute known as Section 515. This type of Section 515 appointment would allow him to charge Hunter Biden outside Delaware, including in D.C. and California, Weiss stressed in a letter earlier this year to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan. According to D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, however, Section 515 is not how such prosecutions are typically handled. Rather, the offices work informally with each other to coordinate prosecutions between offices. In fact, according to a transcript of Graves' interview before the House Judiciary Committee, he had never "dealt with" a special attorney appointment under Section 515. Nonetheless, when approached by the Delaware U.S. attorney about bringing charges in D.C. against Hunter Biden, Graves committed to assisting Weiss in any way necessary.

Joe Is Asleep, America. You're on Your Own. Hamas's attack on Israel should be a wake-up call for Sleepy Joe's America. Joe Biden, a man whose entire government apparatus has turned domestic political protesters into terrorists but who finances and arms real foreign terrorists, isn't on your side. A president who applauds releasing criminals early from jails and prisons in America — if they're even arrested in the first place — isn't on your side. If he then leaves America's back door open to let in millions of strangers freed from the world's prisons so they can pour into your neighborhood, then he's really not on your side. A leader who does all of this and tries to keep you from defending yourself — well, you know whose side he's on. Not yours.

Forget the GOP — It's the Biden Chaos That's Getting People Killed. Anyone on the right who has spent even a little time paying attention to mainstream media bias has probably noticed that it's easy for the Democrats to issue marching orders to create a narrative. It happened again this past weekend after the horrific attack on Israel by Hamas. A theme began to emerge on Sunday: the United States might have problems immediately assisting Israel because there is no Speaker of the House of Representatives. It's nonsense, of course. My friend and colleague Jen Van Laar has a post over at RedState explaining why. The Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media desperately need to deflect and distract from the fact that the man who would be president — Joe Biden — is somewhat of a Hamas enabler. Well, the people running the White House while Biden is Puppet in Chief are the real enablers. Biden is still the guy in the official portrait, though, so we keep referring to him.

Hunter Biden Is So Used To Being Above The Law, He's Citing A Rejected Plea Deal To Claim 'Immunity'. Hunter Biden asked a federal court to dismiss three felony gun charges brought against him by Special Counsel David Weiss on Thursday. The president's son previously pleaded not guilty to the charges on Tuesday. Last month, Weiss slapped Hunter with three felonies related to his unlawful purchase of a firearm in 2018. The counts specifically allege that Hunter lied on the background check form required to purchase the gun and possessed the firearm "while he was addicted to and using illicit substances." It's important to note that Weiss intentionally postponed an inquiry into Hunter's allegedly criminal activities because he believed it would hamper then-candidate Joe Biden's 2020 presidential aspirations. In their Thursday court filing, Abbe Lowell and Richard Jones Jr., Hunter's attorneys, said that they "will seek to dismiss" the felony gun charges against their client "pursuant to the immunity provisions" of a diversion agreement agreed to by both parties earlier this summer, which Lowell and Jones argue grants Hunter immunity from such charges.

Joe Biden's Brother, Frank Biden, Posted Fully Naked Pictures of Himself and Genitals on Gay Porn Dating Website. I really don't feel like writing about the perversions of the Biden family. However, apparently public portrayal of their "frank and beans" is a common occurrence. Frank Biden admits to the Daily Mail that the images of him on a Gay Porn dating website are real. However, he denies the sexual solicitation angle. [...] The whole family is just flippin' weird and creepy.

Biden's Brother Admits It's Him in Naked Selfie Discovered on Gay Dating Website. So, uh... what's with the Biden men and their seeming insistence on taking photos in various states of undress? Because when it was just Hunter Biden prancing around in the nude with a prostitute while being filmed, perhaps you just chalk it up as the eccentricities of an exceptionally depraved and corrupt first son. But according to a new report from the U.K. Daily Mail, it now appears that a naked photo of President Joe Biden's younger brother, Frank Biden, has also infiltrated the world wide web.

Joe Biden's younger brother Frank admits naked selfie on GuysWithiPhones gay dating site is genuine. A naked selfie of Joe Biden's brother Frank has been discovered on a gay porn site. The photo was uploaded to GuysWithiPhones.com in 2018, when Frank — who has a long-term female partner Mindy Ward — was 64. Even after more than five years, it is still live on the site. It was first unearthed by right wing nonprofit Marco Polo, which has been investigating the Biden family for alleged political corruption and crimes for years. When approached by DailyMail.com, Frank, 69, conceded he was the man in the photo but denied he was the one who posted it. 'I've absolutely no comment. I could care less. I haven't even looked at it,' Frank said Monday morning when asked about the shot at his Florida home. 'They must have hacked my phone,' he added.

Special Counsel Interviewed Joe Biden for Two Days over Classified Documents. President Joe Biden sat down for two days for an interview with Robert K. Hur, the special counsel investigating his handling of classified documents from his time as vice president that were found in his possession. White House spokesman Ian Sams said the "voluntary interview" concluded Monday. [...] Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Hur to investigate Biden in January after the federal government learned last November Biden maintained possession of classified documents in one of his offices and his garage.

We Now Know Why Joe Biden Called an Early Lid on Monday. On Monday the Biden White House called a lid before noon and claimed that while President Joe Biden wouldn't have any public events or briefings with reporters for the rest of the day, he was still working as Hamas held a number of Americans hostage in the Gaza Strip. [Tweet] But it turns out Biden was also busy with something else — the second day of a two day interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. Hur is investigating Biden's mishandling of classified information after leaving the vice presidency in 2017. Biden stashed some of classified documents next to his corvette in the Delaware home where Hunter Biden spent significant time during the pandemic. "The President has been interviewed as part of the investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Hur. The voluntary interview was conducted at the White House over two days, Sunday and Monday, and concluded Monday," White House Counsel spokesperson Ian Sams released in a statement Monday night.

Biden, resign now! On October 7, when Jews celebrated the giving of the Torah by God to the Jewish people, Hamas massacred more than 1,000 Jewish civilians in Israel, shouting "Allah Akbar" (Our God is greater) over their desecrated bodies. Children, women, and the elderly were raped, mutilated, and tortured in the name of Allah by a terrorist organization created with a sole mission to eradicate the Jewish state. Hamas Charter, Article 28 states "Israel, by virtue of it being Jewish and of having a Jewish population, defies Islam and the Muslims." It was less than one month earlier that Joe Biden released $6 billion to Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism throughout the world whose stated mission is to eliminate the Jewish state of Israel. Hamas has admitted that the $6 billion freed up Iran's money supply. It enabled Hamas to receive the needed weapons to carry out their massacre upon innocent civilians. Since Iran is a well-known sponsor of worldwide terrorism with a parliament which regularly engages in shouts of "Death to America," it begs the question: Why would the Biden administration hand over $6 billion to a sworn enemy? Giving aid to our enemy is clearly an act of treason; yet there have been no significant calls for his removal. Perhaps the answer lies with Biden, a man who has never met a kickback he didn't accept.

After Hosting a Party, Biden Calls a Lid Before Noon as War Rages. President Joe Biden called a lid before noon on Monday as Americans continue to be held hostage by Iranian backed Hamas in the Gaza Strip and as Israel is still under assault. "The White House has called a lid for the day, before the pool call time. We will not be seeing the president today," the White House pool report states. Last night Biden and First Lady Jill Biden hosted a party at the White House, complete with a live band. [Tweet]

Biden is slammed for holding a BBQ at the White House as Hamas holds Americans hostage and kills at least four. Joe Biden held a barbecue for his staff at the White House while at least four Americans were confirmed dead in the surprise attack by Hamas on Israel Saturday and Palestinian sympathizers protested at the president's gates. A pool reporter overheard a band playing from the White House lawn while pro-Palestine protesters picketed outside the gates, chanting 'Free Palestine' and demanding the US cut aid to Israel. The reporter questioned why they could hear the band, and a spokesperson replied: 'The President and First Lady are hosting a BBQ for White House Executive Residence staff and their families.

Joe Biden Says He Was First Briefed on Hamas Attack Against Israel This Morning, 8 Hours After Attacks Started. So much for Joe Biden taking that "3 am phone call." Joe Biden on Saturday afternoon shuffled into the State Dining Room to deliver remarks on the Hamas terror attacks against Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war against Hamas after the militant group fired over 5,000 rockets at Israel on Saturday [10/7/2023]. Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on Israel, catching the country off-guard during a major Jewish holiday. The attack involved thousands of rockets and dozens of fighters infiltrating Israeli towns near the Gaza Strip.

Biden in Twilight. That Joe Biden is long gone in senility is obvious to everyone. True, not everyone will admit it: in the longer version of the CNN interview that Lloyd Billingsley wrote about earlier, Hillary Clinton fulsomely praised Biden's extraordinary record of accomplishment. I suppose she thought the CNN audience might buy it. It is not necessary to trace Biden's decline on a daily basis, but today's episode is worth noting. Biden exhibited a complete failure to understand the basics of the federal budget and the federal debt. He began by blaming the public's belief that our economy is performing poorly on the press, which he regards as hostile to him. [...] As far as I can tell, there is not a single member of the Democratic Party who minds that President Biden is mentally incompetent. Our nation is sliding into a fiscal abyss, and Democrats have no intention of doing anything about it, or even acknowledging the fact.

Hunter Biden withdrew $20,000 from daughter Maisy's college fund and spent it on hookers and drugs. Hunter Biden withdrew his daughter's college savings to help fund a months-long drug and hooker binge — and still hasn't paid the taxes on it, documents unearthed exclusively by DailyMail.com reveal. The First Son's profligacy was cast in sharp relief in papers from an IRS whistleblower who investigated him for tax crimes, released by Congress last month. In late 2018 Hunter was in his 'penultimate odyssey through full blown addiction', according to his memoir, skulking in Connecticut motels and frittering away thousands on prostitutes and crack cocaine.

Biden Names Hunter Crony to Whistleblower Agency. In a move that would have stopped the networks cold if former President Donald Trump had done it, President Joe Biden named an old Hunter Biden colleague to head the agency that protects whistleblowers. This is the agency that's supposed to protect whistleblowers like IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley and agent Joseph Ziegler who have alleged political interference in the investigation of Hunter Biden. So far ABC, CBS, NBC have yet to devote a single second to the shocking news on their evening or morning shows.

The Party's Over. The evidence for Biden's corruption and betrayal of America mounts by the day. We cannot wait for the situation to ripen further. Too many of our institutions supporting justice and the rule of law have already been compromised by criminal behavior and subornation from the highest levels. Every day that action to bring justice is delayed, creates more despair and consternation amongst the American people. They must not be allowed to lapse into apathy and cynicism. A clear and powerful case for Impeachment must be mounted immediately. [...] President Biden and Vice President Harris have violated their oaths of office. At the simplest level, they are governed by Article 2, Section 3 which reads in part: "(they) shall take care that the Laws be faithfully executed." [...] Our bill of particulars for Impeachment can have many clauses, but there is no need to go any further than the President's clear refusal to enforce existing immigration laws for more than two years, and to invite and allow a literal invasion on our southern border.

Cornell Law Prof: Biden's Abandonment of Southern Border an 'Impeachable Offense'. On the "Counterculture" podcast, Cornell University Professor William A. Jacobsen said that President Biden's abandonment of the southern border is "an impeachable offense." "In this first term of his, hopefully his only term, we're going to probably have 10 to 15 million people illegally cross the Southern border from around the world," Jacobsen told Counterculture host Dan Proft. "I mean, the word has gone out, and I was just reading a story about a pipeline of people from I think it was Mauritania who have figured out how to get across our southern border. "We have completely abandoned a core principle of sovereignty in this country, a core principle of our immigration laws, which is that we determine who comes into the country," said Jacobsen. "And Joe Biden has completely abandoned that, and I think that's an impeachable offense right there."

10 Ways Democrats Are Already Rigging the 2024 Election. Former business associates, IRS and FBI whistleblowers, bank records, text messages, emails, reporting from a "highly credible" informant, and even President Joe Biden himself have all corroborated different aspects of the latter's involvement in his family's corrupt foreign business ventures. But according to Democrats and their legacy media allies, this is just evidence of a father's love for his son. From the moment mountains of evidence began piling up, implicating Biden in playing a major role in his family's international influence-peddling scheme, Democrats have done all they can to hide, excuse, and obfuscate the massive scandal surrounding the sitting president. With help from the DOJ — which almost got away with offering Biden's son, Hunter, a sweetheart plea agreement to evade future criminal charges and has routinely hindered investigative efforts into the Bidens — these acts represent a clear attempt by Democrats to hide [condemnatory] information about the sitting president from the American public ahead of the 2024 election.

Bumbling Biden Leaves Nothing But Confusion After He Denounces His Own Border Wall Construction. As RedState reported, the Biden administration recently announced the construction of a new section of border wall. That represents a sharp turnaround from the president's previous proclamations and a vivid admission of just how terrible his immigration policies have been. The move drew sharp rebukes from true believers like Beto O'Rourke, but it's now an open question whether Biden even knows what his administration is doing. During a presser on Thursday, the president sure seemed confused as to who was even in charge.

The Editor says...
Many of us are confused about who's in charge of the Executive Branch. It's obviously not senile Joe Biden. Too bad the national news media has no interest.

Video Shows Joe Biden Kicking His Dog. President Joe Biden's German Shepherd is no longer at the White House after numerous biting incidents. The Secret Service had already acknowledged 11 incidents involving its personnel, but it has now been reported that this number is actually much higher. Sources told CNN that the bites have ranged in severity, with one so bad that a member of staff needed hospital treatment. Fox News aired a segment that inadvertently showed Biden kicking his German Shepherd after almost tripping on its leash. They say pets are a reflection of their owners so biting dogs come from poor, abusing households. [Video clip]

Hunter Biden's New Sobriety Defense Lifts the Blackout Dates on Addiction. Hunter Biden returned to court today on the felony indictment for his possession of a handgun, including allegations that he lied on an Oct. 12, 2018, form by denying that he was a drug user. His counsel is expected to continue to insist that the form was accurate because Hunter had ended his addiction to drugs and alcohol. The problem for the case is that Hunter and his counsel appear to have an elastic calendar on his addiction, depending on its value in a given case or controversy. The indictment alleges Biden certified on a federally mandated form "that he was not an unlawful user of, and addicted to, any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance, when in fact, as he knew, that statement was false and fictitious." However, Biden's counsel, Abbe Lowell, maintained that "at the time that he purchased this gun, I don't think there's evidence that that's when he was suffering." Lowell said that Biden had already emerged from rehabilitation when he signed the form.

David Weiss Drops One Gun Charge Count Against Hunter Biden. Special Counsel David Weiss dropped one of the gun charges count against Hunter Biden on Wednesday. The move is apparently a procedural step, according to the Associated Press: [...] Hunter Biden's lawyers wrote in an August court filing that Weiss's decision to "renege on the previously agreed-upon plea agreement" is still in effect and binding. The diversion agreement allowed Hunter Biden to plead guilty to misdemeanor tax violations while essentially wiping a felony gun violation from his record.

James Biden's Role In The Biden Access-For-Hire Operation Shows It Was A Family Affair. As the Biden family's corruption scandals tumble out into the open, corporate media badly want you to think the only story here is about Hunter Biden, a struggling drug addict who may have made some unwise decisions while grieving the loss of his brother. The more evidence — from whistleblower testimony to documentation — of President Joe Biden's involvement arises, the more frantically they shout "no evidence!" and insist the elder Biden was only involved to the extent that he loves his son and talks with his wealthy foreign friends about the weather. But setting aside the evidence of Joe Biden's involvement in the access-for-sale scheme — of which there is an abundance — there's another central figure in the operation. The participation of James Biden, Hunter's uncle and Joe's brother, shows just how much of a family affair the scandal is, with Joe Biden, the family's "only asset," at the top.

Biden's German Shepherd Commander is removed from the White House. Joe Biden's dog has been removed from the White House after it emerged that he had bitten more people than the 12 officially noted by the Secret Service. The removal marks the second time that the Bidens have had to re-home one of their beloved German Shepherds due to aggressive incidents. Commander, a two-year-old German Shepherd, has bitten people working in the executive residence, along with White House staffers. At least one person had to be treated at the hospital. On Wednesday, two sources told CNN that there had been far more biting incidents than officially reported.

White House Dog Attacks Related to Joe Biden's "Combustible" Relationship with Secret Service Agents: Report. The relationship between the Secret Service and Joe Biden is suffering from a "breach in trust", is "combustible" and "stressed" over repeated attacks on agents by the Biden family's German Shepherds Commander and Major, and by "unrealistic requests", as well as the Bidens' paranoia that agents remain loyal to President Trump, according to CNN which buried the blockbuster news in a report on the Bidens' dog Commander being removed from the White House after yet another biting attack on an agent last week. CNN led with news Commander has bitten White House staffers in addition to Secret Service agents, "President Joe Biden and first lady Dr. Jill Biden's 2-year-old German shepherd, Commander, has been involved in more biting incidents than previously reported at the White House, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN."

A benevolent American dictator:
Biden cancels $9 billion in student debt for 125,000 borrowers. President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that he approved $9 billion in student loan forgiveness for 125,000 Americans. The relief is a result of his administration's fixes to a number of programs, including the income-driven repayment plans and Public Service Loan Forgiveness. More than $5 billion of the aid will go to 53,000 borrowers who've worked in public service for a decade or more; $2.8 billion of the forgiveness is for 51,000 borrowers enrolled in income-driven repayment plans; and another $1.2 billion of the cancellation will go to 22,000 borrowers with disabilities.

They Are That Evil. When the captain of a ship is clearly insane, or reckless, endangering the lives of the crew and indeed the ship they all need for survival, there are means of removing him from his position. There's logic and reason, but when all else fails and the lives of the crew are at stake, only mutiny will suffice. It's ugly and is fraught with danger, because, if unwarranted, it can lead to a death sentence, but someone has to utter the word, someone has to suggest the unthinkable to resolve a condition that is likewise unthinkable. The trouble with America, right now, is that there is no more sane person to put in the captain's chair. There is no way to effect a mutiny when the officers are as insane and reckless as the captain. It's as if everyone in charge of anything significant is infected with the same suicidal, destructive disease.

Committee docs shed light on Hunter Biden's escort payments, potential Mann Act violations. The documents released by the House Ways and Means Committee last week shed new light on Hunter Biden's reported interactions with escorts, including his claiming a tax deduction for payments to the women as business expenses. The documents also disclose documentation of investigators considering Mann Act charges. Contained in the highly redacted documents the House Ways and Means Committee released last Wednesday are an interview with an "escort" identified as Gulnora and with Hunter Biden's tax accountant who helped him prepare his tax returns for 2017 and 2018. In spring of 2021, when the IRS investigative team interviewed Jeffrey Gelfound of Edward White & Company who prepared the younger Biden's delinquent personal and corporate tax returns for 2017 and 2018, they discovered that Hunter Biden identified payments to an "escort" as a business expense.

Hunter Biden pleads Not Guilty to charges he lied about drug addiction when buying a gun. Hunter Biden, 53, was all smiles when departing a Delaware courthouse on Tuesday after pleading not guilty to lying about his continued crack cocaine use when buying a handgun in 2018. The appearance and guilty plea comes after what Republicans called a 'sweetheart' plea deal — that would have seen Joe Biden's son avoid jail time — collapsed this summer. The judge also revealed the president's troubled son has submitted to multiple random drug tests, and has been negative each time.

Jason Smith says evidence shows Joe Biden 'connected' to Hunter's business deals. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) touted the process and results of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, saying recently released evidence shows the president was "not just aware" but "connected" to his son Hunter Biden's business deals. "He was connected through phone calls, through meetings at the White House, through trips on Air Force Two with Hunter Biden and his business associates," Smith told Sunday Morning Futures the hundreds of pages of documents from two IRS whistleblowers support. "It's absolutely unacceptable."

Fire Alarm Scandal Raises New Questions About Cocainegate. On Saturday, a fire alarm went off in the Cannon House Office Building in an apparent attempt to delay a House vote on a continuing resolution bill aimed at extending government funding for another 45 days and avoiding a government shutdown. It took little time after the story broke for Capitol Police to review surveillance footage and determine that Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) was the culprit. [Tweet] The impressive ability of the Capitol Hill police to review the footage and release a still from that footage to the public stands in sharp contrast to the inability of the White House and Secret Service to reveal who is responsible for bringing a bag of cocaine into the White House a few months ago. You remember that story, don't you? For sure, the media and the White House hope you forgot all about it. It remains, as far as the public is concerned, unsolved, but, all evidence points to a massive cover-up.

Alex Marlow's 'Breaking Biden': China-Linked University of Delaware Biden Partnership Was Hunter's 'Baby'. While media reports have focused University of Pennsylvania's Biden Center, less attention has been paid to University of Delaware's Biden Institute, even though these two "institutes" were opened on the same day and meant to serve a shared goal of being incubators of advancing globalism and leftism. The UPenn Biden Center became a pipeline for longtime Biden allies into his administration, and, as previously reported by Peter Schweizer, proceeded a suspicious influx in Chinese donations to the university. Together with a Penn Biden office in DC, the two entities that would be the public-facing "stage" for the "Biden Brand." The key players at the University of Delaware's Biden Institute were either Biden family members, people with deep ties to China, or both.

2019: Hunter Biden Claimed He Didn't Receive 'One Cent' from Chinese Associate Despite Wire Transfers. Hunter Biden denied receiving "one cent" from his family's deal with BHR Partners associate Jonathan Li, a video from October 2019 shows. In the summer of 2019, Hunter Biden received two wires totaling $260,000 originating from BHR Partners associates, including Li, that listed President Joe Biden's Delaware home as the beneficiary address for the funds, the House Oversight Committee revealed this week. The fund is bankrolled by the Bank of China. Months after receiving the bank wires in 2019, Hunter Biden told ABC News he did not receive one penny from Li.

Joe Biden's Granddaughter Lived in White House While Representing Govt Interests of Peru. According to reporting from the New York Post, Hunter Biden's oldest daughter, Naomi Biden, Joe Biden's granddaughter, went to work for DC-based law firm Arnold & Porter immediately after Biden was inaugurated. While working for the firm as an "international arbitration associate", Naomi Biden represents the interests of Peruvians in an energy dispute and lawsuit. Naomi Biden lived in the White House from August 2022 to March 2023. No word on whether she registered under the laws of the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA). The IRS investigators of Hunter Biden were blocked by the DOJ from interviewing Naomi. This is multiple layers of sketchy.

While Demanding Ukraine Funding, Joe's Last Marble Falls Out of the Bag. I'm not saying he has entirely lost all his marbles, but there's certainly a giant hole in the bag. Toward the end of his remarks demanding more money for Ukraine, Joe Biden was questioned by the DC stenographers. In one segment he was questioned about Kevin McCarthy keeping his word to provide unlimited billions for the Ukraine laundry operation. As Biden started to talk about McCarthy, something went wrong and he had a Mitch McConnell moment. [Video clip]

Biden Selling out the U.S.. The Biden impeachment investigation began this week. If your source of news is CNN, MSNBC, and the Big Four TV networks, you didn't know about this, the fourth such inquiry in U.S. history, because they blacked it out. Here's a handy source to the workings of the House Oversight Committee which you might want to keep for reference. It apparently wasn't very significant to the press. Not like the round-the-clock coverage of the lie that Trump was colluding with Russia, a lie generated by Hillary Clinton and megaphoned by them. Have they noted that the FBI agent who helped launch the probe into this alleged collusion was ironically on the payroll of a Russian and an Albanian? He has admitted he was on the payroll of a rich Russian and is set to admit being the recipient of an Albanian payoff.

James Comer Subpoenas 20 Wires Totaling $1.3M Received by James Biden. House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-KY) subpoenaed James Biden's Lion Hall Group and JBBSR, Inc., entities on Thursday because the committee could not identify "legitimate services provided by James Biden's companies." Comer's subpoena appears to be directed at obtaining records linked to President Joe Biden's corporation, "CelticCapri Corp," which received nearly $10 million in 2017 without specifying revenue line items. "So that's an LLC account. It wasn't a shell company — that was a real LLC account with more earnings in there than what we can find. So that is an account we plan to subpoena as we follow the money," Comer said last week.

CCP-linked businessman offered to wire Hunter Biden tens of thousands of dollars to cover expenses: Texts. A top former aide to Vice President Biden revealed in a WhatsApp message to Hunter Biden that his CCP-linked business partner was willing to wire Hunter tens of thousands of dollars to help him pay off several bills, according to a new batch of messages released by the House Ways and Means Committee. Fran Person, who served as a longtime adviser to the elder Biden and was a failed congressional candidate in 2016, told Hunter in a July 2017 WhatsApp message that he and Bo Zhang, Fran's business partner with ties to top CCP leaders, "want to help" him. Hunter was in the middle of a rocky divorce and laid out his bills for the month, saying, "100K at least gets me until next month." "I am appreciative of whatever [Bo] was comfortable with but I'm very uncomfortable starting a war revised partnership this way," Hunter said. "I have been desperately trying to figure out how to resolve this without resorting."

Honest, Commander Doesn't Bite! This week, Biden's dog bit another secret service agent. We all remember that "Major" bit people before. So, again — in the White House? Well, actually no. Biden gave that dog away in 2021. This is a NEW dog — a dog named "Commander" — that was born in 2021. This is the Eleventh biting incident that we KNOW of from this young dog. In the four month period from October 2022 to January 2023, there were TEN biting "incidents" — sending one person to the hospital. They went to the hospital, AFTER medical treatment was performed at the White House. We only know this because Judicial Watch did a FOIA for that time period to discover if bites had occurred. These bites were from a one year old dog. It is probably safe to assume that if there were TEN incidents in that four month period, there are other bites that we don't know about.

This May Prove the $260K Wires From China Were for Joe Biden. As PJ Media reported earlier this week, subpoenaed bank records show that Hunter Biden received wire transfers totaling $260,000 from communist China in the late summer of 2019. What made these wire transfers particularly interesting was that they listed Joe Biden's Delaware residence as the beneficiary address for the funds. A beneficiary address can either be the address listed on the recipient's account or the address provided by the person sending the wire. The wire records do not clearly indicate who provided the address in question.

The 'no evidence' claim about Biden corruption is looking increasingly ridiculous. Joe Biden's defenders have been on a wild ride this past year. It began with them arguing that the president knew absolutely nothing about his family's influence-peddling business to arguing that it's no big deal that ChiCom wire payoffs happen to have Biden's home address listed on them. The quality of the excuses, unsurprisingly, has been deteriorating rapidly. They largely entail repeating the words "no" and "evidence" in a perpetual loop. But this week, when James Comer released financial records of Hunter Biden receiving two wire transfers totaling $260,000 in 2019 from Beijing with the president's Delaware home listed as the beneficiary address, the White House jumped into action.

Forensic Accountant Says Hunter Biden Got Over Twice The Salary From Burisma That US Oil Giant Paid Directors. A forensic accountant who testified before Congress said Friday Hunter Biden's salary from Burisma was more than twice what a major oil company paid its directors. Bruce Dubinsky testified at a Thursday House Oversight Committee hearing about "The Basis for an Impeachment Inquiry of President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.," which was part of the panel's investigation into the handling of the probe into Hunter Biden's business dealings. Hunter Biden was appointed to the board of Burisma in 2014, when Joe Biden was vice president.

Report: Frank Biden Called Joe Biden the 'Big Guy,' Sixth Reference to Alias. The Wall Street Journal published an interactive Biden family tree map on Friday, highlighting the alleged influence peddling scheme of "how Joe Biden's kin profited off the family name" with the use of the "big guy" alias. Frank Biden, President Joe Biden's youngest brother, was "hired by the Illinois-based industrial manufacturing firm Federal Signal Corp. to help connect the company with Florida lawmakers," the Journal reported. "During a weekly call, Frank Biden, 69 years old, would frequently interrupt the meeting and say he had to take a call from 'the Big Guy,' as he put it."

Annals of Senescence. Alex Thompson reports that President Biden is working on a critical project for his re-election bid: Make sure he doesn't trip. Thompson's Axios scoop runs under the headline "Biden team's don't-let-him-trip mission." The Biden team is worried that one more public tumble might convince voters that Biden is not up to the job. I believe that voters already come to that view, and with good reason. The physical manifestation of his senescence corresponds with his visible limitations of speech and understanding. He makes 80 look like the new 100.

The Latest Hunter Biden Document Dump Is Littered With Bombshells. [For example] A federal prosecutor on the Hunter Biden investigation ordered the FBI to remove references to then-candidate Joe Biden from a search warrant related to the probe. In August 2020, FBI agents drafted a search warrant for the lobbying firm Blue Star Strategies that referenced the elder Biden as "Political Figure 1." But assistant U.S. attorney Lesley Wolf intervened to remove the reference to Biden on the grounds that it was outside the scope of the warrant. "There should be nothing about Political Figure 1 in here," Wolf wrote in an email to FBI and IRS investigators. The email adds to the growing evidence that the U.S. attorney's office blocked investigators from pursuing leads related to the president. IRS investigators Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler have claimed Wolf stymied several aspects of the investigation and tipped off Hunter Biden's lawyers to a planned search of the first son's storage unit in Virginia. Wolf was removed from the prosecutorial team this year, for reasons yet to be explained.

Impeachment Memo: Biden Family Received $15 Million in Foreign Money. On Wednesday, a new memo was released by members of Congress detailing bank records which allegedly prove that the Biden family had received at least $15 million in foreign funds. According to Just The News, the memo was released by Congressmen James Comer (R-Ky.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), and Jason Smith (R-Mo.); all three are leading committee chairmen, with Comer leading the House Oversight Committee, Jordan in charge of the House Judiciary Committee, and Smith in control of the House Ways and Means Committee. "Department of Justice personnel blocked avenues of inquiry that could have led to evidence incriminating President Biden and impeded efforts to prosecute Hunter Biden for tax crimes relating to foreign business arrangements that could have implicated President Biden," the 30-page memo reads in part.

New revelations about Bidens include China payments, Delaware coverup. Laptop deniers are having a tough time trying to explain away the [...] evidence pouring out of congressional committees investigating Biden corruption and the DOJ's coverup. New documents from IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley released by the House Ways and Means Committee Wednesday spell more trouble for the Bidens, and maybe for Hunter Biden's "sugar brother" Kevin Morris, who paid the First Son's $2.8 million tax bill and funded his lifestyle in Malibu. Here are the top five revelations contained in the committee's 1,600-word report and 31 new exhibits tabled by IRS criminal investigators Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who allege DOJ obstruction of their five-year investigation of Hunter in Delaware: [...]

Trump was a great president, but a looming Michelle Obama candidacy means we need a new plan. The saying goes that you prepare to fight the last war (or political campaign), not the next one, and now there is the real possibility that Joe Biden will drop out to be replaced by Michelle Obama. This would change the entire landscape of the election and serve as a convenient excuse to absolve the rest of the party for what Biden did, when we all know they are equally at fault. It's easy to see how this could have been the plan all along. Biden's installation meant four more Obama years of "fundamental transformation" with an unwitting scapegoat, the disposable bumbling puppet. Knowing the proclivities of the far left's identity politics, you can easily see how this kind of development could have been pre-planned for maximum effect.

House Ways & Means Committee Releases 700 Pages Of New Evidence Against Hunter Biden. [Video clip only.]

House Ways and Means Committee Releases Explosive Documents Confirming Hunter Sold Access to Joe Biden in 23 Countries. On Wednesday, the House Ways and Means Committee voted to release new documents from IRS whistleblower testimony confirming that Hunter Biden sold access to his father Joe Biden via the "family brand." The explosive documents revealed Hunter Biden was selling the 'Biden family brand' in 23 countries. "The Biden Family foreign influence peddling operation suggests an effort to sway US policy decisions," House Ways and Means chairman Jason Smith said. The Committee released a June 6, 2017, WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to a business associate that he was not willing to "sign over my family's brand," or give the individual "the keys to my family's only asset."

Hunter sold Biden 'brand' in 23 countries. A committee in the U.S. House has released investigative documents that show Hunter Biden sold the Biden "brand," understood to be access to his father as vice president and then president, in 23 nations. And those documents also suggest that there were concerted efforts to impact American foreign policy in connection with those sales. Rep. Jason Smith, of the House Ways and Means Committee, announced at a news conference the committee voted to release a vast new store of evidence regarding what appears to be developing as a Biden family-wide influence-peddling operation that netted members $20 million or more. Smith said the details, from whistleblowers, has not yet been contradicted by any evidence that has been revealed.

Face it — Hunter Biden is already pardoned. Hunter Biden was recently indicted on a gun charge, as everyone knows. This has led to a spate of articles claiming that Joe Biden is worried that he will die before his son's legal problems are resolved. Well, don't let the unquestioning media dupes fool you. Hunter Biden has already been pardoned. That pardon is sitting in Joe Biden's desk drawer or office safe. Hunter Biden likely even has a copy of this pardon in his own possession. Despite the media sense of self-importance, one is pardoned when the President signs the pardon, not when a pardon is announced and reported by the media. Even the Biden family is savvy enough to know they need pardons in reserve in case anything happens to the ancient and deteriorating Joe Biden.

Stick a Fork in Biden — He's Done! President Joe Biden has become a joke, confabulating tall tales about his past political exploits, shaking hands with phantoms, not shaking hands with world leaders, getting lost on stage, and frequently falling. These are all clear signs of his physical and mental decline, obvious to all but his most partisan enablers and sycophants. He has announced his candidacy for reelection, but that is as credible as Jack Nicklaus announcing a run for the US Open next spring. The only question is how Joe exits the presidency and campaign, whether voluntary or by his handlers making him an offer he can't refuse.

Joe Biden Is About to Be Let Off the Hook for Mishandling Classified Docs. Have you forgotten about the ongoing investigation into Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents? I can understand if you did because the media hasn't talked much about it since partisan Democrats have been indicting Donald Trump for blowing his nose. The investigation is still ongoing, and according to a report from ABC News, the investigation has been expanded significantly. [...] I've never believed that Joe Biden would ever be treated the same way as Donald Trump, and according to the story, the investigation "has grown into a sprawling examination of Obama-era security protocols and internal White House processes." Right there, alarm bells should be going off. The investigation may have expanded, but is it really about Joe Biden anymore, or is it about Obama administration security protocols? When you read between the lines, it sounds like the burglar is getting off the hook because the home he robbed wasn't locked.

When Your Son is Getting Payments From China at Your Address, Can You Still Pretend You're Not Involved? The Biden defense has been that whatever Hunter Biden was doing doesn't involve his father. Sure, Hunter might have traded on his father's name, his father might have phoned in and stopped by events with his clients and his son might have even sent demands for money to China in his name, but it has nothing to do with Joe. And it still doesn't. Not even when the money is going to Joe Biden's address.

Is this the "smoking gun" of Biden's Chinese cash-for-influence deals? If you see enough smoke, sooner or later there's a good chance that you're going to come across some fire. Now, James Comer and the House Oversight Committee may have uncovered it. We've watched for more than a year as Comer has unearthed one item after another indicating that Joe Biden and his family collected tens of millions of dollars from adversarial nations, with most of the money clearly being laundered through a shady network of shell companies. But Biden's loyal defenders in the legacy media and the Democratic Party have continued to insist that there was no irrefutable proof. That may have changed yesterday. Comer's team has uncovered documentation showing a $250,000 payment in 2019 from some of Hunter Biden's BHR Partners Chinese "clients." And the beneficiary residence of the recipient was none other than Joe Biden's Delaware mansion.

Can You Spot The Difference Between The Menendez And Biden Foreign Influence Scandals? [Scroll down] A number of astute people noted how CNN was credulous to the point of absurdity, but near as I can tell, no one has yet noted that CNN's "fact check" needs... a fact check. "On the allegation that these dinners with Joe Biden 'resulted in cars,' [Hunter Biden business partner Devon] Archer said the businessman Rakishev wired Hunter Biden the exact amount of money that Hunter used to buy a Porsche. This car has nothing to do with Joe Biden," notes CNN. To start, the $142,300 wasn't used to buy a Porsche — it was used to buy a Fisker Karma, an EV sports car made by an automotive start-up that got $192 million in loans from the Department of Energy to, among other things, take over an abandoned General Motors factory in Wilmington, Delaware, which is coincidentally the Bidens' hometown. Fisker defaulted on those massive loans, costing American taxpayers $132 million, and Hunter later traded the Karma for a Porsche.

Joe Biden's biggest nightmares are all starting to come true. [Scroll down] Anyone want to put money on the idea of Joe Biden putting all hands on deck to resolve the migrant surge? He hasn't even visited the border. He fobbed the border issue off onto the incompetent Kamala Harris and she didn't do anything, either. Elon Musk, who's been sued by the Justice Department for not hiring "refugees" and has seen illegal alien incursions onto his SpaceX company lands, has announced that he will be visiting the border. The president of Honduras has visited the border, and certainly President Trump has visited the border. But Joe Biden hasn't visited the border, let alone taken any effective action to stop the illegal crossings. If anything, his "increased pathways" to migration has had the effect of adding highways to severely congested areas, the way Robert Moses once did in New York City, only to find himself profoundly surprised that the added highways didn't lighten the traffic load. Demand, in other words, for a free ride from America across the globe, is simply too great, so the more Joe opens 'legal" pathways (and this is highly questionable) the more the surge grows. His solution has been to gaslight and cover up the problem, not actually solve it — and the results speak for themselves.

Democrats Have Become The Party Of Authoritarianism. They Only Understand Power. [Scroll down] Or again consider the role of Biden's Justice Department and FBI in protecting Hunter Biden and the president from congressional investigations that are, as of this writing, still uncovering [substantial] evidence of corruption connected to Hunter's overseas business schemes. Just this week we learned that two payments totaling more than a quarter-million dollars were wired to Hunter Biden from China, and the beneficiary address listed on the wires was Joe Biden's home address in Delaware. (At the time the wires were sent, Hunter was living in California.) Surely, you might be thinking, not even the most rabid partisans on the left can think that this is justice, or that this will end well for the country. Surely they see the danger of supporting a politicized federal law enforcement bureaucracy that criminalizes the opposition and uses the justice system as a weapon. Even if they don't denounce it publicly, certainly they're talking amongst themselves about how terrible this is and how to stop it. Right? Wrong. To think this way is to misunderstand Democrats and the left completely. No, they're not worried about any of this. No, they don't want it to stop, they want it to continue and intensify. They don't want justice, they want power.

Oversight Committee: BHR Partners' Bank Wires List Joe Biden's Delaware Home as Beneficiary Address. Hunter Biden received two wires totaling $260,000 in 2019 originating from Chinese business partners that listed President Joe Biden's Delaware home as the beneficiary address for the funds, the House Oversight Committee revealed Tuesday. The bombshell allegation is the first direct link between Joe Biden and foreign wired money to the Biden family business from China. The Delaware address is Joe Biden's main residence. Hunter Biden also spent time at the address, though it is unclear if he claimed it as his home address at the time of the wire transfer in July and August 2019.

Joe Biden facing crushing defeat if RFK Jr. runs as 3rd-party candidate. Joe Biden could be facing a disastrous defeat in the 2024 presidential election, assuming he's still in the hunt then, if Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would offer voters a third-party candidacy. That's according to a report from Newsweek, which revealed that one-third of Democrat voters likely would support him.

Biden's Dog Commander Bites Another Secret Service Agent. President Joe Biden's dog, Commander, bit a Secret Service agent again Monday evening. It was the two-year-old German Shepherd's 11th biting incident, leading the agent to seek medical attention at the White House, CNN reported. "Yesterday around 8 p.m., a Secret Service Uniformed Division police officer came in contact with a First Family pet and was bitten. The officer was treated by medical personnel on complex," Secret Service communications chief Anthony Guglielmi told CNN. The injured officer is doing fine in the aftermath of the incident, Guglielmi added.

The Editor says...
Why does Joe Biden need to have a dog in the White House anyway? Why not a smaller dog, or a parakeet? How much time does Joe Biden spend in the White House during an average week? Is the dog just a prop? Would the press be so indifferent if the dog belonged to Reagan, Bush, or Trump?

Hunter Biden sues Rudy Giuliani over infamous laptop found at repair shop. Hunter Biden has sued Rudy Giuliani over his infamous laptop scandal, claiming that the former New York City mayor hacked and manipulated data on an external hard drive in a "total annihilation" of the disgraced first son's "digital privacy." The suit filed Tuesday in US District Court of Central California accuses Giuliani and Robert Costello, a former federal prosecutor who defended Giuliani, of violating the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act when they accessed Biden's hard drive. "For the past many months and even years, Defendants have dedicated an extraordinary amount of time and energy toward looking for, hacking into, tampering with, manipulating, copying, disseminating, and generally obsessing over data that they were given that was taken or stolen from Plaintiff's devices or storage platforms, including what Defendants claim to have obtained from Plaintiff's alleged 'laptop' computer," the filing read.

UAW should have hired Hunter Biden. Sacrifice. Solidarity. Selflessness. Those are the signatures of Mr. Biden and his life's work toiling away for the working man (and the credit card industry) in Washington these past 50 years. Scranton Joe. Lunch Bucket Joe. Amtrak Joe. "Tuesday, I'll go to Michigan to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create," Mr. Biden supposedly wrote on social media last week, announcing his brave stand with autoworkers. (Say what you want to about former President Donald Trump, but at least he didn't lie every time he claimed to be posting something himself on social media. Bring back "covfefe!") But anyway, "fair share." Too bad striking autoworkers are too stupid to know what's best for them. If they really wanted their "fair share" under the Biden administration, there is one surefire way to get it: Hire Hunter Biden. Just ask the Ukrainians.

Offering dirt on Hunter FBI 'mole'. Gal Luft, the fugitive "missing witness" of the Biden corruption investigation, has offered new evidence to the House impeachment inquiry about an FBI mole who tipped off Hunter Biden that his Chinese partners had been named on four sealed indictments in 2017 by Manhattan federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York. The Israeli professor, and former Israel Defense Forces officer, has been on the run for six months, after skipping bail in Cyprus where he was awaiting extradition to the United States on gun-running and foreign-lobbying charges, also brought by the SDNY. In an open letter to Reps James Comer, Jim Jordan and Jason Smith, the three House committee chairmen running the impeachment inquiry, Luft claims that the tipoff to Chinese executives of CEFC came on the same day that the first son wrote a WhatsApp message shaking down another CEFC employee for millions of dollars over a "highly confidential and time sensitive" matter while claiming his father was in the room with him.

When Can We Start Calling It What It Is, Namely Bribery? The Biden family corruption scandal gets deeper with every passing day. Speaker Kevin McCarthy finally opened an impeachment investigation in the House last week, and now the first hearing in that investigation has been scheduled for September 28 before the House Oversight Committee. So what is the potential impeachable offense? You will undoubtedly recall, in the context of the two Trump impeachments, the endless semantic contortions that took place trying to shoe-horn Trump's conduct into the vague constitutional catchall of "high crimes and misdemeanors" that might support an impeachment. Now, with Biden, the conduct at issue goes by various euphemisms like "the family business," "business dealings with foreign nationals," "influence peddling," "selling access," or maybe just "corruption." But are these impeachable offenses? Well, how about "bribery"? In Biden's case, there is no need for creative legal argumentation.

Are We Preparing For A Coup? In advance of the 2016 election, many of the nation's most powerful intelligence figures joined forces with Hillary Clinton's campaign to push the infamous Russiagate narrative. They made up a story about non-existent collusion between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin and peddled it to the American people. When they failed to stop Trump from winning the White House they then morphed the Russiagate narrative into an effort to depose Trump and stage the first coup in American history. In 2020 many of the same figures crawled out of the woodwork again to push a new lie. This time they told the American people that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation and that any questions about Joe Biden's obvious compromise by the Communist Chinese were conspiracy theories. They succeeded in burying the Biden crime family scandal until after Joe had been installed in the White House.

GOP Predicts Biden 'Organized Crime Ring' Received $50M, $30M More than Shown. Republican lawmakers recently predicted their investigation into the Biden family could prove the Biden business raked in more than $50 million, about $30 million more than bank records show thus far. "Based on the evidence I've seen so far, I think the number is going to be north of $50 million that we're talking about here," Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said on Fox News. Throughout the investigation, the House Oversight Committee unveiled several tranches of Biden business bank records. Those showed the Biden business received at least $20 million from business schemes in Romania, China, Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. In total, nine Biden family members received payments from the family foreign business ventures, including two of Joe Biden's grandchildren. [Video clip]

Attorney General Merrick Garland's Testimony Reveals Extensive Corruption by the Department of Justice. [Scroll down] Garland's selection of David Weiss as special counsel was a peculiar one. Weiss had previously worked with Hunter's late brother Beau; he negotiated Hunter's absurd sweetheart plea agreement which the Federal District Court had refused to accept; and had earlier overseen an FBI probe of Biden's Delaware fundraising operation in which a top bundler pleaded guilty to as straw donor scheme but Biden was never charged. Garland admitted that Weiss was the only person he ever considered for that position, and it would have been "disruptive" had he appointed anyone else. He refused to answer if he had had any conversations with Weiss about the Hunter matter. He couldn't recollect discussing the matter with the FBI. He declined to withdraw the incendiary memo that directed the FBI to use counterterrorism tactics on parents who raised objections to school board policies. Worse, his testimony about why he failed to appoint a special counsel earlier and the claim Weiss had broad authority even before the appointment of him as special counsel is in direct contradiction to the testimony of now three whistleblowers to the contrary and the failure of the DoJ in response to a FOIA request to provide any evidence to support Garland's claim that Weiss had broad authority. In fact, he accidentally admitted that the department thwarted the Hunter investigation.

"I Vaccinated the Nation and Rebuilt the Economy!" — Old Man Joe Biden Starts Shouting Out of Nowhere. Joe Biden Saturday evening delivered remarks at the 2023 Phoenix Awards Dinner at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Biden lied about the state of the economy. "Kamala and I came into office determined to transform how the economy works — change the way it literally functions!" Biden said. Joe Biden destroyed the economy. Bidenomics = High mortgage rates, high inflation rates, collapsed banks, expensive groceries, record high rent, and dwindling retirement accounts.

Joe Biden Hates You (Hate Him Back). There's always been an internal debate when thinking about President Joe Biden — you have to wonder whether he does or says something because he's a liar or because he's genuinely stupid. This extends back to when he was a Senator, too. Now you have to add a third option: senile. It's tough to tell if he walks off stage with other world leaders without shaking their hands because he's an aloof ass who looks down his nose at others or because he's unaware of where he is. There's no real way to know, but it's probably safest to bet it's a combination of all of them.

Sky News Host: Laughingstock Joe Biden is "Coming Apart Before Our Eyes". Joe Biden is a laughingstock all over the world. Whether he is praising the Congressional Black Caucus at a Congressional Hispanic Caucus meeting or repeating the same story twice word-for-word just minutes apart at a campaign reception in Manhattan Wednesday night, world wide consensus is that Joe Biden is not up to par. Sky News host James Morrow shared his thoughts about the feeble leader of the free world after his recent attendance at UN General Assembly in New York saying Biden appears to be "Coming apart before our eyes". Morrow chronicled some of Biden's most recent gaffs, and there are plenty to choose from, that have come to be expected from the deteriorating leader.

The Left Throws Joe Biden Under the Bus: 'Nightmare Scenario for Democrats'. The Democratic Party is increasingly beginning to abandon President Joe Biden as rumors ramp up that he may drop out of the 2024 presidential race because of health concerns. Several Democrats voiced their concerns to the Washington Post over Biden's declining physical and mental health, saying death is "imminent" for people at the president's age — who will be 81 years old in November. "He is in a period of his life where passing and death is imminent," the leader of the Democratic Party in Lorain County in Ohio, Sharon Sweda, said. "We are all on a ticking clock. But when you're at his age, or Trump's age, that clock is ticking a little faster, and that's a concern for voters." This week, Biden has sparked more concern about his age and health after repeating the same story twice within minutes during a private fundraising event in New York.

James Comer to Subpoena Joe Biden's 'Mystery' Corporation that Collected $10M in 2017. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) vowed on Thursday to subpoena records linked to President Joe Biden's corporation, "CelticCapri Corp," which received nearly $10 million in 2017 without specifying revenue line items. Questions remain about how then-Vice President Joe Biden's corporation received the $10 million in 2017, a year that corresponds with elaborate webs of wire transactions and Joe Biden's departure from the White House. The year 2017 also encompasses the timeframe an FBI informant alleged Burisma Holdings bribed Joe Biden with $5 million.

New DHS Intelligence Expert Group Features Signers of Letter Discrediting Hunter Biden Laptop Story. Several former intelligence officials who signed the now-notorious letter dismissing a bombshell report on a laptop belonging to the son of President Joe Biden as "Russian disinformation" are going to serve on a new advisory group created by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday announced the establishment of the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group, which is tasked with meeting four times a year to provide the agency with input on some of the "most complex problems and challenges," including terrorism, fentanyl, "transborder issues," and new technology. The group includes former senior intelligence officials, journalists, and "prominent human rights and civil liberties advocates," according to Mr. Mayorkas. Some of them are known for attempting to discredit the New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop stories in a public letter in the weeks leading to the 2020 presidential election.

Now Can We Do Joe Biden? Bob Menendez, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has been charged with bribery. Allegedly he was using his influence on behalf of the government of Egypt, along with several individuals or companies. [...] I think we can say with a high degree of confidence that Menendez is guilty. (Whether he will be convicted is of course a different matter.) My question is, now can we do Joe Biden? There is a large and growing body of evidence that Biden, like Menendez, took millions of dollars in bribes. Biden's bribes were paid by agents or associates of foreign governments, including China, as well as individual businesses and perhaps individuals. There is this possible difference: Menendez's bribes took the form of stacks of cash and gold bars, while Biden's millions (I believe around $20 million has been identified so far) were simply deposited in a maze of bank accounts. But then again, who knows what the FBI might find if it raided Biden's home, as it did Menendez's?

Fox News requests secret mugshot of Hunter Biden. Fox News host Jesse Watters revealed that the conservative news network has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the mugshot of presidential son Hunter Biden, calling for it to be released to the public. "It turns out Hunter Biden has a mugshot," he said on Tuesday's edition of "Jesse Watters Primetime," breaking the news for the first time. "Back in July when Hunter first appeared in court, his lawyers say he was photographed and fingerprinted." "Sources tell us that federal inmates rarely have their mugshots released to the public — only in cases where the federal inmate escapes, and a leak would be very unlikely. The U.S. Marshals have a rigorous digital footprint," he added. "So, what is so special about a mugshot that they don't want us to see? Did he smile? Did he look defiant?" Watters asked. "In light of transparency, this mugshot must be released."

Report: Hunter Biden's Mugshot Concealed by Joe Biden's Justice Department. Federal authorities reportedly captured Hunter Biden's mugshot in July, but the photo apparently remains concealed due to the Justice Department's policy. Hunter Biden's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, noted during the July court appearance that President Joe Biden's son was processed at a Delaware courthouse by the U.S. Marshals Service by "the usual procedures (e.g., submitted to multiple sets of fingerprints, had his photograph taken, and filled out the required forms for release)."

White House, Hunter Biden's team keep shifting goalposts in denying Joe's involvement with businesses. Hunter Biden's lawyer declared last Thursday that the first son "did not share" his business or his profits with his father, marking another notable shift in the narrative responding to allegations that link President Biden to his son's business dealings. Abbe Lowell, who has been aggressively defending Hunter, said he can "categorically" declare that Biden was not involved in Hunter's previous business dealings and did not profit from any of them. "I can tell you that Hunter did not share his business with his dad," Lowell told CNN on Thursday. "I can tell you that he did not share money from his businesses with his dad. And as the evidence out there, his dad, like all good parents, tried to help Hunter when Hunter needed that help."

Hunter Goes on Offense, Sues the IRS, His Corruption Is Private. Hunter Biden didn't like being exposed, so he's suing the IRS whistleblowers who did exactly that. President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, sued the Internal Revenue Service on Monday, alleging that his privacy rights were violated when agents aired concerns to Congress and the media about the handling of the investigation into his taxes and business dealings. So, if you commit crimes, you can now say it invades your privacy?

Did Hunter Biden Lie to His Own Memoir? In a raft of glowing reviews, Hunter Biden's 2019 memoir "Beautiful Things" was celebrated as an "unflinchingly honest" (Entertainment Weekly), "confession and an act of contrition" (Guardian), that was "candid" and "doesn't hold back details" (New York Times) of his substance abuse and broken relationships. While describing the book as an "unvarnished confessional," the Washington Post exalted it as a "harrowing, relentless and a determined exercise in trying to seize his own narrative from the clutches of the Republicans and the press. In the years since, testimony from a former business partner, Devon Archer, and newly disclosed emails indicate that the president's son's memoir was an exercise in spin rather than truth-telling, especially concerning his father's role in his foreign business dealings, which are now the subject of a House impeachment inquiry. That evidence shows how the Bidens used the memoir to create a politically charged narrative — one largely embraced by the mainstream media — that distorted the truth to protect the family.

Hunter Biden Sues IRS After Whistleblowers Reveal He Was Given Sweetheart Deal for Not Paying Taxes on Millions in Illicit Business Deals. Hunter Biden sued the IRS after whistleblowers revealed he did not pay taxes on millions of dollars in international money schemes and was given a sweetheart deal from far left investigators. The whistleblowers released the shocking truth to the American public. So Hunter Biden is suing them. Hunter claims the whistleblowers embarrassed him when they reported the truth on his illicit business dealings.

Oversight Dems admit Hunter's longtime business partner handled Biden's finances throughout VP tenure. House Democrats acknowledged Wednesday that Hunter Biden's then-business partner, Eric Schwerin, handled President Biden's finances for the duration of his vice presidency. A spokesperson for the Democrat minority of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability told Fox News Digital that Schwerin, the former president of Hunter's Rosemont Seneca Advisors and a frequent visitor to the Obama-Biden White House, served as then-Vice President Biden's "bookkeeper" from 2009 to 2017. "Notably, Mr. Schwerin, who served as then-Vice President Biden's bookkeeper from 2009 to 2017, explained that he was not aware of any transactions into or out of the then-Vice President's bank account related to business conducted by any Biden family member," the spokesperson said in a statement.

President Pinocchio Joe is a truly terrible liar. Joe Biden is a terrible liar in every sense; he lies on a terrible scale, and he's terrible at lying. And as much as I'd like to be kind to an old man and put his constant untrue statements down to memory issues caused by his advanced age and cognitive decline, it's not because of that at all. No, President Biden just likes to tell humongous self-promoting whoppers, again and again and again. He's done it his entire political life, and now he's lying so often and so badly that even his most diehard uncritical supporters can't excuse him anymore.

Lawyer For IRS Whistleblowers Explains Why Hunter Biden's Attorneys Are 'Very Clearly' Desperate. The lawyer for IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley explained Monday on Fox & Friends why Hunter Biden's attorneys are "very clearly" desperate after the president's son sued the IRS. Hunter Biden sued the IRS on Monday alleging its agents "targeted and sought to embarrass" him by discussing his private tax information and violating his rights as a taxpayer. The lawyers argue that whistleblowers, like Gary Shapley, violated Hunter's rights to confidentiality by testifying before Congress. Shapley is not listed as a defendant in the suit. Tristan Leavitt joined Fox News to discuss the suit, first arguing it amounts to intimidation of whistleblowers and is meant to deter future whistleblowers from coming forward. "Ultimately, the ironic thing is Hunter Biden is accused of allegedly not paying taxes on a bunch of money but now here. [H]e is suing the IRS and you know, angry at the investigators, because of an invasion of privacy," co-host Steve Doocy said.

IRS Whistleblower Responds To Hunter Biden Lawsuit Targeting Him. After news broke that President Biden's son Hunter had filed a lawsuit against the IRS, IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley's legal team issued a statement condemning the action. Biden filed the lawsuit claiming that IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler revealed confidential information about his taxes in public interviews and statements. "This suit against the IRS is just another frivolous smear by Biden family attorneys trying to turn people's attention away from Hunter Biden's own legal problems and intimidate any current and future whistleblowers," the attorneys for Shapley wrote.

Hunter Biden's texts, emails contradict lawyer's claim that he 'did not share' money from businesses with dad. Hunter Biden's attorney recently claimed his client "did not share money" from his business dealings with his dad, President Biden, but a 2019 text message and multiple emails appear to contradict this claim. Abbe Lowell, who has been aggressively defending Hunter, said in a recent interview that he can "categorically" declare that President Biden was not involved in Hunter's previous business dealings and did not profit from any of them. "I can tell you that Hunter did not share his business with his dad," Lowell said during a recent CNN interview. "I can tell you that he did not share money from his businesses with his dad. And as the evidence out there, his dad, like all good parents, tried to help Hunter when Hunter needed that help."

What We Must Believe To Believe Biden Is Innocent. It's hardly a surprise that the corporate media have rushed to the defense of President Biden pursuant to the impeachment inquiry announced last week by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. More surprising is the absurdity of the arguments they offer on his behalf. For years, his denials notwithstanding, Biden knew his son ran an international enterprise whose only real service was selling access to the Vice President of the United States to foreign entities who hoped to procure favorable policy decisions from the Obama administration. This operation generated at least $20 million that was doled out to nine Biden family members, yet we are asked to believe that the "Big Guy" didn't get a cut.

Here's All The Evidence Connecting Joe Biden To Hunter Biden's Foreign Business Dealings. The amount of evidence connecting Joe Biden to Hunter Biden's business dealings is growing as Congressional investigations continue to reveal new information surrounding Hunter Biden's engagements. Witness testimony, emails, text messages, flights and additional evidence indicate Joe Biden was knowledgeable about Hunter Biden's business dealings and communicated with his son's business associates on numerous occasions. Hunter Biden's former business associate Devon Archer testified in July to the House Oversight Committee that Joe Biden spoke with his son's business associates more than 20 times, including a spring 2014 dinner with Russian oligarch Elena Baturina and a spring 2015 dinner with Vadim Pozharskyi, an executive with Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings.

Democrats may dump Joe Biden, but they still own his extreme policies. Democrats are about to fire President Biden. Are Republicans ready? Washington Post columnist David Ignatius ignited a political firestorm recently by veering off script and writing that Joe Biden should retire — a rare chink in the media bulwark protecting the president. In a follow-up interview, the "Morning Joe" crew echoed concerns about Biden's age. Others will surely follow; polls showing that Biden might lose to Donald Trump and other GOP 2024 candidates have finally brought Democrats to their senses. Republicans need to prepare for the very real possibility that Joe Biden is forced out of the 2024 race. What does that mean? It means that it's time the GOP stop obsessing about Joe Biden's age, and focus on his disastrous policies instead. If Biden bows out, all the scrutiny of the president's incoherence, his stiff gait, his moments of confusion and all the other signs of decline will no longer matter.

It's Not Really Joe Biden On The Ballot Next Year. It's Someone Much Worse. Joe Biden is making it clear with great regularity that he's unwell and his recent trip overseas is no exception. The G20 visit included a downright scary press conference in Vietnam that showcased a rapidly declining octogenarian on the world stage who is no longer capable of discharging the duties of his office. This is not hyperbole; in fact, the cascading situation requires a frank discussion with the American people. What's happening here is far worse than President Franklin Roosevelt's efforts to keep his wheelchair out of the public eye. To be clear, President Biden — who is eighty going on ninety — expects the American people to elect him again without campaigning for the office. As the biased mainstream media obsesses over Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's two "freezing" episodes, they treat Biden's ongoing health crisis and the White House's handling of it with kid gloves. Our president struggles to make coherent points and can barely follow a teleprompter. He would rather sleep than take questions from the press — perhaps typical for many 80-year-olds — but not for the leader of the free world. The truth is this president can't even execute a rigged press conference full of softball questions from his allies in the state propaganda service.

The Conundrum. Ever since the fabled Laptop from Hell entered stage left, the un-raptured of the land have been exposed to gales of evidence that "Joe Biden" ran a family influence-peddling racket as veep, and that it likely has something to do with the extravagant mess spawned in Ukraine. The crude and lawless labors of the DOJ and the FBI to cover all that up have been failing lately as a harsh music of blown whistles ominously cleaves the dank night air over the Potomac swamp. The coming House impeachment inquiry, with its extraordinary subpoena powers, can easily un-confuse these matters as Rep Comer (R-KY) goes after the Biden family bank records.

There's More Than Enough Evidence for a Joe Biden Impeachment Inquiry. "Without evidence." They want those two words imprinted in your mind whenever you hear about the House impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. "Since gaining the House majority in January," writes The Associated Press, "House Republicans have aggressively investigated Biden and his son, claiming without evidence that they engaged in an influence-peddling scheme." Many other pieces use the same language. Sticking the words "without evidence" into a story is meant to insinuate that the impetus for an investigation is itself meritless. What kind of people make accusations without evidence, right? But, as they know, inquiries exist for the purpose of uncovering evidence. Then again, there already exists tons of substantive proof that Joe Biden was likely "engaged" in the family racket. Now, it goes without saying that without the Biden last name, there is no Biden Inc. But numerous witnesses, many with no connection to one another or political agendas, have independently testified that he was involved.

GOP Reps Release 22 Examples Of Biden's Corruption After Dems Claim There's No Evidence. Democrats and left-wing operatives in the mainstream media say there is "no evidence" that Joe Biden did anything wrong to warrant impeachment. This key Democrat "talking point" has been carefully crafted as the evidence and seriousness of Biden's corrupt actions is enough to make your blood boil. In response, the House Oversight Committee has compiled a startling list of 22 pieces of evidence that show Joe Biden's involvement in his son's influence-peddling scheme that raked in millions.

Hunter Can Blackmail His Father Into a Pardon. When Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea agreement fell apart in spectacular fashion over the summer, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre frantically claimed President Joe Biden would not give his son a pardon. That there was no possibility of such a thing. "From a presidential perspective, is there any possibility that the president would end up pardoning his son?" a reporter asked during the daily briefing. "No," Jean Pierre snapped. "I just said no. I just answered." Her statement was definitive during an uncertain time. In politics, definitive statements are early signs of regret and words that will likely be eaten later. Meal time came this week when Special Counsel David Weiss handed Hunter Biden an indictment for three felony gun charges carrying the potential of 25 years in federal prison. Hunter Biden was indicted by Special Counsel David Weiss on three federal felony counts related to his purchase of a firearm in 2018, two counts being related to his attestation of being drug-free on a purchase form and one count related to his possession of the firearm while using narcotics," Townhall reported. All of a sudden, the need for a presidential pardon became a solidified reality.

Of Course Public Offices Are for Sale. No doubt many venal American politicians play the same shady game (after all, there sure are a lot of Congress-critters who enter office destitute and exit office as millionaires), but the Biden Crime Family's particular brand of in-your-face extortion really takes the cake. When his crackhead son Hunter is awarded a lucrative seat on a corporate board in Ukraine or receives hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party, it is not because he is an expert in paying for sex, drugs, and other shameful degradations. It is because he has been taught how to collect bribes from foreign foes in return for his father's promises to look out for their interests. [...] In contrast [to President Trump], the evidence that Biden has used his various offices for pecuniary benefit is overwhelming. In emails, witness testimony, and bank account histories, the Biden Crime Family's business of extracting and laundering bribes is easy for any ordinary American to see. Faced with such blinding corruption, however, the "expert" class now hilariously claims to see nothing.

Biden's alias email predicament. At the height of Watergate, then-President Richard Nixon boldly asserted that the American people had a right to know "whether or not their president is a crook." The same is true today. The question takes on added significance as accumulating evidence suggests that President Biden may have used the influence of the various governmental offices he has held over his long career to enrich himself, his family and his associates. The people who are supposed to ask tough questions about such matters have been strangely silent on the latest disclosure about the underhanded way in which Mr. Biden communicated with his son Hunter about matters including Ukraine.

Hunter Biden [was] Indicted on the Few Charges That Don't Implicate Joe Biden. Hunter Biden, the wayward son of President Joe Biden, has been indicted on three federal gun charges — and of all the allegations he faces, these are the only ones that would not implicate his father in wrongdoing. Special Counsel David Weiss filed three felony gun charges against Hunter Biden on Thursday, which could lead to up to 25 years in prison. These are the first charges after a "sweetheart" plea bargain fell apart in July when it was questioned by a judge. But that deal also included misdemeanor charges of willful failure to file federal taxes. The taxes had to do with the income Hunter Biden appears to have earned thanks to business connections he made with the help of his father, when Joe Biden was vice president.

The Hunter Biden Indictments Are a Ruse. Here's Why. Seriously, does anyone believe that Hunter Biden will actually face any jail time? Would Weiss, one of the architects of Hunter's ridiculous plea deal, actually put Hunter Biden behind bars? I don't. But in the meantime, many think it is a possibility. According to Mike Davis, a former law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, we shouldn't be fooled by these indictments, and he explains why. "Don't be fooled," he began in a lengthy post on X/Twitter. "Today's indictment of Hunter Biden for gun felonies is just more coverup by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who has protected the Bidens for years."

Beware the DoJ's Hunter Biden distraction. You don't need to be a political genius to see that this Hunter Biden indictment is an obvious smokescreen for the White House and Democrats on Capitol Hill. The three-part indictment is very simple and straightforward and could've been brought a long time ago... so why this week? Why does it come after a rough opening to September for Democrats, with horrible polls released concerning Joe Biden's age and approval ratings — and particularly the same week that Republicans finally pulled the trigger on an impeachment inquiry? First, it serves to muddy the waters. The counts in these indictments have nothing to do with what Republicans are doing with their impeachment inquiry, but the two stories will be combined by Democrats and the media — already James Comer is having to separate the two strands. The gun charges are also the most sympathetic of Hunter's misdeeds, given the drug addiction involved, and therefore allow the White House to spin it as targeting the Biden family in an aggressive way — "He was going through a lot, Joe has nothing to do with buying a gun," etc. The death of the sweetheart plea deal can now be swept under the rug by saying, "Look, we're the party of law and order now, no one's above the law! This indictment proves it — let the courts work, just like with former President Trump."

Jim Jordan Blasts 'Face-Saving' Hunter Biden Indictment, Reveals Key Impeachment Inquiry Facts. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview Friday that Thursday's indictment of Hunter Biden was a "face-saving exercise" for a Department of Justice (DOJ) under increasing scrutiny and revealed the 'key facts' that House Republicans will rely on as they begin their impeachment inquiry. Jordan wrote off Thursday's indictment of Hunter Biden as a public relations move as evidence mounts linking Hunter's illegal activities with Joe Biden dating to his time in the Vice President's mansion and exposing the department's mishandling of the investigation for years. "At some point, it's got to do something" Jordan said of Biden's DOJ.

Impeachment Against Joe Biden: Possible Key Witness from Ukraine Makes Serious Allegations. A possible key witness against Biden is speaking out from Ukraine and is making serious accusations against the incumbent U.S. president. The latter is said to have tried to have him killed. The accusations carry weight, coming from none other than Ukraine's former Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who in 2015 led investigations that became so dangerous to Biden that in 2016 he blackmailed the Ukrainian government into dismissing Shokin.

Impeaching Biden Is The Right Call, But Don't Stop With Him. With apologies to Speaker McCarthy, the evidence uncovered thus far suggests much more than just a culture of corruption around Biden, but actual, straightforward corruption — foreign oligarchs allegedly bribing then-vice president Biden to make policy decisions that would benefit them. This wasn't a complicated scheme. It involved overseas firms hiring or contracting with Biden's son Hunter for access to Biden, and then laundering the money through a bunch of shell corporations. (Throwing money at Hunter was the best investment a corrupt foreign oligarch could ever make, it turns out.) As my colleague Jordan Boyd chronicled back in July, dozens of people, including Hunter Biden's former business partners, FBI and IRS whistleblowers, and at least one "highly credible" confidential FBI informant, have corroborated President Biden's involvement in what amounts to a vast international bribery scheme. An impeachment inquiry is more than justified — there's vastly more evidence of Biden's corruption than there ever was of Trump's, for example — and arguably it's overdue. Biden is likely the most corrupt president in American history, and impeaching him is the lowest of the low-hanging fruit for the House GOP.

Five Facts That Compel the House's Biden Impeachment Inquiry. With the commencement of an impeachment inquiry this week, the House of Representatives is moving the Biden corruption scandal into the highest level of constitutional inquiry. After stonewalling by the Bidens and federal agencies investigating various allegations, the move for a House inquiry was expected if not inevitable. An impeachment inquiry does not mean that an impeachment itself is inevitable. But it dramatically increases the chances of finally forcing answers to troubling questions of influence-peddling and corruption. As expected, many House Democrats — who impeached Donald Trump after only one hearing in the House Judiciary Committee, based on his phone call to Ukraine's president — oppose any such inquiry into President Biden. House Republicans could have chosen to forego any hearings and use what I called a "snap impeachment," as then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) did with the second Trump impeachment in January 2021.

Former Neil Gorsuch Law Clerk: 'Don't Be Fooled' By These Hunter Biden Indictments. As Spencer wrote on Thursday, the looming gun charges that were part of that aborted sweetheart plea deal for Hunter returned in the form of new indictments, courtesy of Special Counsel David Weiss. Don't be fooled. Hunter isn't going to face any legal reckoning or jail time. It's another legal shield supplied by Weiss, who's been talking out of both sides of his mouth throughout this fiasco. Yes, he tried to charge Hunter, but he also allowed some of the more serious tax violations to atrophy, thanks to the statute of limitations. He was a driving force behind the original sweetheart deal that got wrecked after the testimony of IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler.

House GOP probing then-VP Biden's dodgy breakfast meeting with Kazakh bank official at official residence. As House Republicans move to impeach Joe Biden, congressional investigators are zeroing in on a breakfast the then-vice president hosted in the summer of 2015 at his official residence in Washington, DC, for his son Hunter Biden and two business partners. Hunter's former best friend in business, Devon Archer, mentioned the meeting in passing during his recent closed door testimony to the House Oversight Committee. Archer attended the July 7, 2015, meeting at 8:30 am, along with Marc Holtzman, chairman of Kazakhstan's largest bank, Kazkommertsbank.

Hunter Biden indicted on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden was indicted Thursday on federal gun charges out of Special Counsel David Weiss' investigation. Biden was charged with making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm; making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer; and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance. According to the indictment, "on or about October 12, 2018, in the District of Delaware, the defendant, Robert Hunter Biden, in connection with the acquisition of a firearm, that is, a Colt Cobra 38SPL Revolver with serial number RA 551363... knowingly made a false and fictitious written statement, intended and likely to deceive that dealer with respect to a fact material to the lawfulness of the sale of the firearm... in that the defendant, Robert Hunter Biden, provided a written statement on Form 4473 certifying he was not an unlawful user of, and addicted to, any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance, when in fact, as he knew, that statement was false and fictitious."

Associated Press invents new definition of "evidence". Joe Biden obviously engaged in an influence-peddling scheme, and there is certainly compelling evidence that he engaged in outright bribery — pay for policy. Biden met with, dined with, and spoke on the phone with Hunter Biden's clients, and in return for cash paid to Hunter, they got regular access to the White House. Burisma officials even got the White House to collaborate with the company on press statements, and Joe Biden bragged that he pressured Ukraine — by waving a billion dollars in their face — to fire a prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, on whose Board his son Hunter sat. Joe Biden's business partner told Congressional investigators that Joe Biden's influence was the product that he and Hunter were selling. [Tweet]

Is Joe preparing to run his wife for 2024? Wednesday's Cabinet meeting was most interesting. After a minute of introduction, President Biden turned the meeting over to his wife Jill, who continued to run it. This allows us a glimpse into the Democrat presidential strategy for 2024: run Jill Biden. In order for Jill to win the Democrat nomination for president, she needs to do several important things:
[#1] Box out Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, and Gavin Newsom.
[#2] Maintain DNC support for Joe.
[#3] Keep Democrat contributors in line.
[#4] Do more and more of the president's job now.
Jill can accomplish these objectives by keeping Joe in the race in order to stop Kamala, Michelle, and Gavin from attracting sufficient Democrat party resources. Notice that all three are keeping their heads low. From now until the convention, if any Democrat breaks ranks and starts to look presidential, he will be branded a traitor and effectively excommunicated. So Joe needs to continue to make noises as if he is going to run.

Biden Holds 'Cancer Cabinet' Meeting While Handler Jill Treats Him Like a Child. Joe Biden held a meeting of his "Cancer Cabinet" on Wednesday. The Cancer Cabinet is supposed to be working on efforts to combat cancer. But one of the things that was very evident about the meeting was how halting, old, and slow Biden appeared to be. He was just supposed to be reading introductory remarks. Yet still, he had some trouble, struggling through it with some confusion and missed words. You can see some of that here, as Biden attempted to talk about dealing with "underserved communities." [Tweet with video clip]

Evidence of Joe Biden's Involvement in His Family's Influence Peddling Schemes. There is mounting evidence that Joe Biden was involved in his family's influence peddling schemes, including while he served as Vice President. However, Democrats and their corporate media allies continue to ignore this overwhelming evidence as they seek to distract the American people from the Biden family's corruption. Below are over 20 examples of Joe Biden's involvement. [...]

Hunter Team Slammed with Stunning IRS Accusation. Americans were stunned to learn that the DOJ tried to shut down an IRS investigation into Hunter Biden. We knew that Hunter was facing charges, due to tax crime accusations. Whistleblowers, however, revealed the investigation was shut down after Biden's DOJ pressured the IRS to go easy on him. These whistleblowers bravely testified before Congress. They revealed the IRS was prevented from investigating where Hunter got his money. Republicans concluded this was an attempt to hide evidence of the Joe-Hunter Biden bribery ring. But now, it seems the family did more to try to stop the truth from coming out. And Republicans are fuming.

ABC News Plays Defense for Biden Over House GOP Impeachment Inquiry. Now that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is finally launching an impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden, we will get to see most of the media pull a complete 180 degree turn on impeaching presidents. On ABC News, it has already started. In their coverage of the issue, they repeatedly refer to House Republicans as 'far right' and 'hard right.' They also say that there is 'no evidence' or 'no hard evidence' of any wrongdoing by Biden. This is the media gearing up to defend their party and it's so obvious.

Jaw-dropping evidence that GOP will use against Joe Biden is revealed. President Joe Biden faces an impeachment vote over his alleged ties to his son Hunter's business dealings — many of which have been uncovered by DailyMail.com. Emails, texts, photos and documents unearthed by this publication have added to a still-growing body of evidence suggesting that Joe may have been improperly involved in Hunter's shady foreign deals, including when he was Vice President. That evidence has now prompted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to call a Thursday meeting of top Republicans to plan a vote on impeaching the President.

NYT Report: Hunter Biden Informally Advises Joe Biden. Hunter Biden is reportedly an informal adviser to President Joe Biden amid an impeachment inquiry into the president. Hunter and Joe Biden frequently speak on the phone and "occasionally" talk politics, according to the New York Times, which described Hunter Biden as the president's "informal adviser" who has even shaped the latter's speeches.

FBI official can't recall, refuses to answer questions over Hunter Biden whistleblower cover-up claims. A top FBI agent involved in the Hunter Biden investigation couldn't recall or refused to answer several questions related to IRS whistleblower claims that the probe into the first son was impeded by the Justice Department. A transcript of FBI Special Agent Thomas Sobocinski's closed-door testimony before the House Judiciary Committee last week, reviewed by The Post, reveals that the Justice Department detailed what Sobocinski could and couldn't talk about with lawmakers a day before his Sept. 7 interview.

Where Are the Burisma Tapes? Do you remember how excited Senator Chuck Grassley was when he announced that a Ukrainian gas company executive, who had allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden, had 17 audio tapes of their conversations? [...] In reviewing the story, which is now two months old, Grassley asked this question: "What is U.S. Attorney Weiss doing with respect to these alleged Joe and Hunter Biden recordings that are apparently relevant to the high-stakes bribery scheme?" This is a perplexing question, because nowhere else does it say that the foreign national handed over the tapes to Weiss — only that he made the tapes as an "insurance policy." But then the question is, an insurance policy against whom? Protection from the Ukrainians? From the FBI? From David Weiss, who has been promoted to Special Counsel, even though the appointment is against policy? Let's not forget that Weiss has also shown himself to be incompetent, partisan, and irresponsible regarding Hunter Biden's case.

Twilight Of The Democrats. Biden's poor approval ratings are likely also influenced by the brewing scandal around his son. Over half of voters believe that the president's actions related to the Hunter Biden probe are inappropriate, and 61% say they think the president was involved in his son's business dealings. Indeed, there is mounting evidence that Biden's Department of Justice is criminalizing the political activity of his enemies while shielding his son from real prosecution. When Biden took office, he vowed that his administration would put an end to the division of the Trump years and would restore unity. Yet, on several occasions, Biden has made highly charged and antagonistic remarks about ordinary American citizens. Despite the media's efforts to portray him as a wise and grandfatherly figure, Biden often appears to be angry and confused, lashing out at us unpredictably. Due to the president's age and obvious cognitive decline, it is unclear who is actually running the country and calling the shots. Biden, a corrupt and disoriented old man controlled by shadowy figures behind the scenes, is emblematic of what the Democratic Party has become.

A Fourth Joe Biden Email Alias Surfaces. Then-Vice President Joe Biden used a fourth alias, "auks@att.blackberry.net," as early as 2010 to communicate with his family, according to the nonprofit Marco Polo, based on information from Hunter Biden's "Laptop from Hell." The House Oversight Committee previously noted only three aliases in its August 17 request to the National Archives for documents related to Joe Biden's email pseudonyms: "Robert Peters," "Robin Ware," and "JRB Ware."

Hanoi Joe is even worse than Hanoi Jane. Joe Biden found himself in Vietnam on Sunday. Returning from the G-20 summit in India, he made a pit stop there, supposedly to improve relations with that country as a means of checking China's aggressions. Instead of saying 'Hello,' like normal presidents say, Biden greeted the Vietnamese with "Gooooood morning, Vietnam," rather shockingly bringing up a line from a movie that was all about the absurdities of the Vietnam War. His performance was so bad his staff cut his mic and whisked him off the stage.

McCarthy to Endorse Biden Impeachment Inquiry as 'Logical Next Step' in Corruption Probe. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) is expected to endorse an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden in a closed-door meeting with House Republicans this week. McCarthy plans to tell those present that the move is the "logical next step" in the Republican Party's probes of Biden and his son Hunter's alleged influence peddling schemes, Punchbowl News reported Tuesday and Fox News confirmed. At the private meeting set for Thursday morning, House Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) and House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R., Ky.) will each provide an update regarding their respective investigations into the Biden family's foreign business dealings.

The Editor says...
[#1] Joe Biden is far too senile to make any policy decisions, and he has been for some time. Thus there is no point in impeaching Joe Biden for the havoc being inflicted by the "Biden administration." The actual culprits, which could include Barack H. Obama, DOCTOR Jill Biden, Bernie Sanders, Valerie Jarrett, and many others, will face no punishment (in this life) for what they've done, because Joe Biden is just the curtain they hide behind. [#2] Joe Biden is likely to die of natural causes long before the spineless Republicans take any action against him. Joe Biden is not the least bit worried about impeachment.

Biden is a Gold Mine. Joe Biden is the proverbial gold mine. Someone is going to give into the all-too-obvious temptation and make a veritable fortune very soon. Doing so will pretty much permanently ruin that individual's prospects as a major operative in future Democrat doings, but someone, somewhere, is going to grab that overly tempting low-hanging fruit. There is a "tell-all" book coming soon, without question, an "Emperor Has No Clothes" moment, a "Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain" reveal, one that will cause the objective world to say, "Aha! Knew it all along!" while making the hyperpartisan Democrat apologists in the government and the liberal media cringe with inescapable, crushing humiliation. It probably isn't necessary to list every example of verbal incoherence, physical fragility, cognitive decline, or policy illogic and inconsistency. For the sake of this discussion, we'll leave aside the numerous, undeniable matters of outright financial corruption, influence pedaling, and bribe taking, since it would appear that most of those incidents occurred when Biden was still actually in control of his faculties.

Reporters Laugh at Sleepy Joe During Presser in Vietnam. Joe Biden traveled to Hanoi, Vietnam to meet with General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong of the Communist Party of Vietnam. After spending a couple of days in New Dehli, India, Biden arrived in Vietnam. The grueling schedule is just too much for old Joe. He needs a nap and he let everyone know. Biden held a press conference after he delivered remarks and it was a total disaster. He opened up the presser by making a joke about a Vietnam War movie.

Then-VP Biden Signed Off on Hunter Business Partner's Burisma Talking Points, Email Reveals. House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) sent a letter to the National Archives and Records Administration on Wednesday requesting "unrestricted special access" to communications between the office of then-vice president Joe Biden and Hunter Biden or his business associates. The letter requests unredacted copies of the documents included in NARA's "Records on Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Their Foreign Business Dealings" file. Among the requested documents is a December 4, 2015, email in which longtime Biden family business associate Eric Schwerin sent quotes to Biden's then-communications director Kate Bedingfield that he said the White House should use in response to media outreach regarding Hunter Biden's role on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Schwerin sent the email at 10:45 a.m. that day. Bedingfield responded hours later at 2:30 p.m. saying, "VP signed off on this."

Biden Accused of 'Mosaic' Plagiarism After Editor Noticed Oddly Familiar Phrases In Paper. A former editor of the Harvard Journal on Legislation has raised "shocking" allegations of plagiarism against President Joe Biden, claiming that he discovered instances of unattributed copying in an essay written by the then-Delaware senator more than two decades ago. The accusations center around an essay defending the Violence Against Women Act, which Biden penned in 2000 during his tenure as a senator. Roger Severino, who now serves as the vice president of domestic policy at The Heritage Foundation, took to social media to detail his findings, igniting a fresh controversy.

As Biden scandal marches toward impeachment, what Obama knew and when looms large. In the final days of the Obama presidency, trusted aide Valerie Jarrett made a boast that has aged like spoiled milk. "The president prides himself on the fact that his administration hasn't had a scandal and he hasn't done something to embarrass himself," Jarrett declared on national television. Ironically, the president that Jarrett would later to go work for — Joe Biden — has revealed a jaw-dropping pattern of secret emails with fake account names, weaponized the U.S. Department of Justice against political foes, and entanglement with tens of millions of dollars in foreign money and other ethical conflicts. The steady stream of tawdry revelations from Biden's vice presidential years makes clear it wasn't just Hillary Clinton and her husband that sought to become richer through the Obama years. When elected vice president, earned roughly $230,000 a year. By the time he left the Blair House, Forbes and others estimated his current net worth as $9 million.

What Game is Hunter Biden Playing? What shameless act or felonious activity was not evidenced on Hunter Biden's laptop? Racist attitudes toward Asians? Soliciting prostitution? Felonious use of drugs? Photographed nudity and perverse sex? Admissions to illicit foreign shakedowns? Hunter all but accused his own father President Joe Biden of also being on the foreign take: "I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family... Unlike Pop I won't make you give me half your salary." Hunter's alleged felonies range from bribery to tax evasion. That he has not yet been prosecuted for anything is scandalous. His exemption is attributable only to Attorney General Merrick Garland's likely weaponized directives to federal prosecutors to downgrade or forget altogether felony charges against Hunter.

FOIA Turns Up Zilch On The 'Full Authority' Garland Claims He Gave Weiss Over Hunter Biden. Emails obtained by the Heritage Foundation following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, and shared exclusively with The Federalist, reveal a glaring gap in the documentation maintained by the Delaware U.S. attorney's office: There is nothing memorializing the authority Attorney General Merrick Garland claims he gave U.S. Attorney David Weiss for the Hunter Biden investigation. For more than a year, Garland represented to Congress that Weiss held ultimate authority over the Hunter Biden investigation — which the eventual appointment of Weiss as special counsel contradicted. But now there is more evidence — or rather a lack of evidence — indicating the claimed authority was always a charade.

Republicans Must Impeach Biden. There is a reason the issue of impeaching President Biden has finally come into the spotlight, and it isn't what you may think. The Republicans have neither the spine nor the skills to pull off an impeachment, even with a teed-up softball like this. Democrats want the threat of impeachment without the impeachment itself, but Republicans can call their bluff. I often said I would fear being grilled by Trey Gowdy in a congressional hearing. He was excellent at his job and was brutal in cross-examination. But despite all the information and even drop-dead proof he generated, no one has even been charged, much less brought to justice. Big hat, no cattle. No spine.

Joe Biden Isn't Just Coming Across as Inept, Republicans Are Succeeding in Making Him Toxic. Americans don't have far to look for reasons against voting for Joe Biden in 2024. It seems that a significant majority across the policy board think he's done a pretty terrible job. We're now two years out from his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, and ever since that moment, Americans by and large haven't really trusted that the best people are in charge of our government. The Biden team has decided to adopt Bidenomics, and they are pointing to their little sheets of paper and saying that, in fact, the economy is great right now and you should just believe them rather than your lyin' eyes. But while the economy may be better on the coasts and in urban Democratic strongholds simply because of the income gap, across the country, Americans are feeling the pain in the grocery store checkout, the gas pump, and in their bills. Inflation is still up - in fact, last month's inflation numbers were revised upward while you weren't looking - and Americans are struggling.

Gun charges are the 'least' of the crimes Hunter has committed, top Republican claims. Top Republican James Comer is accusing Hunter Biden prosecutor David Weiss of attempting to sneak through another 'sweetheart deal' for the president's son - who is facing an imminent indictment for his gun crimes. On Wednesday, federal prosecutors on Weiss' team said in a filing that they plan to indict Hunter Biden on illegal gun charges - that have a maximum of 10 years in prison - by the end of September. 'They already tried to sneak something through once. We need to make sure that they don't do it again,' House Oversight Chairman Comer told WABC 770 AM's 'Cats & Cosby Show.'

Tax cheat Hunter Biden not prosecuted by California: Where is the outrage from Governor Newsom? Hunter Bided failed to pay federal income taxes on millions in income and some of that income was earned while Biden was living in California, so he likely failed to pay state taxes as well. The Plea Agreement between Hunter Biden and federal prosecutors filed in the Delaware shows that Hunter failed to pay taxes on millions from companies and individuals in Ukraine, China and Romania. Hunter was living in California for at least part of the time according to the later filing by prosecutors to dismiss the tax charges in the plea bargain agreement and the intent to refile in California or the District of Columbia. We can assume that Hunter failed to pay his state income tax as well, since federal and state returns are filed together.

Biden's Official Twitter Account Photoshops President to Look Younger. Democrat influencers were recently caught photoshopping pictures of President Biden to make him appear younger. Now, President Biden's own Twitter account has adopted the same strategy. On Wednesday afternoon, Biden's campaign account, @JoeBiden, tweeted two images of Donald Trump and Joe Biden side-by-side. The tweet displayed an unflattering picture of Donald Trump at a golf course, next to a bright, confident image of Biden departing Air Force One. [Tweet]

Age is only a number until you are totally incompetent. President Trump's presidency looks more and more successful every day by comparison [to Biden]. Who wouldn't love to have those gasoline prices back? What mom wouldn't love to go grocery store shopping and pay Trump prices when putting items in the cart? People were better off under Trump's policies and I have not mentioned China running around the world or Iran making noises or Mexico turning more violent by the week. Yes, President Biden looks old and its scary every time he goes off script. He might get away with it if results were different, but they are not.

Actually, Joe Biden has doubled the deficit. Over the past two years, President Joe Biden has made numerous statements suggesting that he is a deficit hawk on par with past presidents such as Calvin Coolidge or Andrew Jackson. For instance, earlier this year, Biden claimed, "In my first two years, I reduced the debt by $1.7 trillion. No President has ever done that." [...] Here are the facts. When Biden entered the White House, the national debt stood at $27.7 trillion. Two years later, the national debt stands at $32.9 trillion. Using simple arithmetic, the national debt has increased by $5.2 trillion under Biden. That is a big difference from a $1.7 trillion reduction. However, I'll do Joe a favor and give him the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps he was referring to the deficit, not the debt.

Don't ever give a proven habitual liar like Biden "the benefit of the doubt."

Biden wanders off during Medal of Honor ceremony. Is there anyone less fit to be around men of authentic valor than cowardly, self-dealing Joe Biden? Breaking all protocol as well as common decency, he wandered off the set during a Medal of Honor ceremony, leaving the honoree, Capt. Larry L. Taylor, awkwardly on the podium alone.

House Finds 'Evidence of Collusion' Between Biden's VP Office and Hunter's Business Partners. House Republicans are noting apparent "collusion" between Hunter Biden's business allies and then-Vice President Joe Biden's office regarding the handling of messaging about Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, and citing a key date for evidence. Records obtained by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee show that on Dec. 4, 2015, a Biden family business associate suggested talking points to the vice president's office about Burisma. That same day, Hunter Biden "called D.C." (an allusion to his father) to discuss the growing corruption investigation into the Ukrainian firm, according to testimony from a separate business partner. House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., wrote Archivist of the United States Colleen Shogan on Wednesday to request records of communications between Biden's vice presidential office and Hunter Biden or his business associates.

Who could forget Carlos Danger and Pierre Delecto?
Obama, Clinton and Biden ALL used secret, fake-name email accounts to hide their actions. I am surprised that anyone is surprised that, as vice president in the Obama administration, Joe Biden used email accounts under fake names to loop his son Hunter into official US government business. This is how the Obama administration rolled. When high officials were involved in a dodgy activity they wanted to shield from public disclosure laws, they frequently used pseudonymous email accounts. That included President Barack Obama himself. As I argued at the time, one of the main reasons the Obama Justice Department whitewashed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's criminally negligent mishandling of classified information, through the lawless homebrew server system she set up for doing official government business, is that Obama was implicated. He knew that she was using a non-government communications channel because, numerous times, she used it to correspond with him.

House Oversight Subpoenas Mayorkas, Secret Service For Allegedly Tipping Off Biden Team About Hunter Interview. The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday subpoenaed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Secret Service for documents and testimony related to allegations the Secret Service tipped off Joe Biden's 2020 presidential transition team to investigators' plans to interview Hunter Biden. House Oversight subpoenaed DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for documents and three DHS employees for depositions before the Committee. The committee also subpoenaed two Secret Service officials for depositions related to testimony from two IRS whistleblowers and a former FBI agent, alleging Secret Service agents tipped off the Biden transition team in December 2020 regarding an upcoming Hunter Biden interview.

Biden's brain, mind, behavior, and character. [Scroll down] At times, President Biden struggles with working memory and clarity of focus when answering reporters' spontaneous questions, particularly when more than one question is asked or the answer has several parts. Biden often seems rigid, angry, and confused during and after his teleprompter speeches. He often turns his back on reporters and seems irritated at their questions. This pattern can occur in early stages of dementia and could be dangerous for national security. Biden, even years before his brain surgeries, had shown perturbations of character involving prevarications. He once bragged that he had a full scholarship to Syracuse law school and came in the top in his class. Both were lies. Biden has said he drove an eighteen-wheeler truck, which is not true. Biden once claimed he was arrested for demonstrating with Nelson Mandela, which was untrue. During an earlier presidential campaign, Biden was caught plagiarizing political speech material. Such plagiarism was one factor in decreased funding for his presidential campaign and his dropping out of that earlier presidential campaign.

Joe Biden, forever stupid. You can tell a lot about a man once you learn what he fears most, and with Franklin Foer's recent expose of White House doings, Joe Biden's biggest insecurity seems to be his fear of "being perceived as stupid." [...] Stupidity is the most obvious thing about him, starting from the day he got "elected." We all know it wasn't his brains he got elected on. Just ask one of those truck drivers moving ballots from state to state for counting. Beyond that, his dealings with Hunter Biden and his other family members, a long-festering corruption splaying from China to Ukraine to various domestic matters, is rather famous for its stupidity as well as its corruption: It's always getting leaked out. Most mafia-type crooks know how to hide their corruption better than Joe Biden does. Biden lets it all hang, or rather, dribble, out, even as he belatedly tries to cover it up. From abandoned laptops and diaries, to the proliferation of whistleblowers and angry business partners, to easily detected pseudonym correspondence, to cunning oligarchs with tape recorders, to troves of stashed classifed documents, he's always scrambling, which pretty well tells us that Biden's not too intelligent even at self-preserving corruption.

Is America Under the Thumb of a Shadow President? [Scroll down] I don't think the Obamas are pulling any strings; they seem to be enjoying their relaxed post-presidency years too much, with Barack raking in huge speaking fees in between relaxing at one of their many luxurious homes. Why, with all that, would you want to be bothered with propping up old Joe Biden, especially since there seems to be little love lost between current and former President? With all of the available evidence in hand, though, I think I have a fairly good idea of who is playing Edith Wilson to Joe Biden's Woodrow: None other than the First Lady, "Dr." Jill Biden. [...] Jill Biden is clearly the most likely candidate. Why? The Biden Administration's clear and present ineptitude. "Dr." Biden has never shown any particular competence, even in her supposedly chosen field. That explains volumes about this Dunning-Kruger presidency; the person who is supposed to be in charge doesn't know what's going on, and the person who is actually in charge doesn't know what she's doing.

Uh-oh. NOW who's the acting president?
White House: Vaccinated Dr. Jill Biden Stricken with COVID, President Tests Negative. First Lady Jill Biden has been diagnosed with COVID, but President Joseph R. Biden Jr., tested negative, according to statements Monday evening issued from the White House. "This evening, the First Lady tested positive for COVID-19. She is currently experiencing only mild symptoms. She will remain at their home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware," said the First Lady's communications director Elizabeth Alexander in a statement posted on the WH website.

Jill Biden tests Positive for COVID with 'mild symptoms' and will remain at Rehoboth Beach home. First lady Jill Biden has tested positive for coronavirus, her office confirmed on Monday night, as the White House said Joe Biden has tested negative. The 72-year-old is 'experiencing only mild symptoms' and will remain at the couple's home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, a statement said. Meanwhile the White House said the president has, so far, tested negative for COVID, as cases of the virus are on the rise again globally.

The Editor says...
The occupants of the White House are presumably some of the most "vaccinated" and carefully-protected people in the world. So there are really only two explanations for this story: [#1] The COVID shots and masks don't work, or [#2] Jill Biden doesn't really have COVID, and the whole story is an infomercial for the return of masks and lockdowns.

Ex-FBI Agent Reveals the Top Brass' Unusual Order Regarding Hunter Biden. Many factors were at play regarding why the Hunter Biden bribery scandal was buried for so long. The media didn't care. The political class and their allies interfered in the investigations into the president's son, which kept the story hidden. And half the country was duped into thinking this was a Russian disinformation operation launched during the final weeks of the 2020 election. It took a Republican takeover of the House to bring these details to light, which has triggered an avalanche of corroborating testimony and related evidence that the Biden family are a bunch of crooks, selling access to government officials for a price and funneling that cash through shell companies. Over 170 suspicious activity reports from six banks point to something felonious, with Hunter banking $20 million from central Asian oligarchs. Unsurprisingly, the Bidens dealt with figures whose interests were not aligned with that of the United States. The 'veneer of access' talking point Democrats tried to sell died on impact: there is no veneer if tens of millions are being transferred. Hunter had the access — hence the price.

Biden Bizarrely Says He Has 'No Home to Go to' - Claims He's Not Vacationing at the Beach. President Joe Biden told reporters Sunday that he had "no home to go to," citing that as the reason he was spending another night at his vacation house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Biden seemed a little defensive about his presence at the popular seaside destination, particularly following criticism he received for sunning on the beach in Delaware in the immediate aftermath of the deadly Maui wildfires. "By the way, the reason I'm here today, just for one day — I know you think I'm on vacation, I'm not. I have no home to go to," Biden told reporters, apparently unprompted, Sunday after attending Mass at St. Edmond Roman Catholic Church in Rehoboth Beach.

Biden Laments 'I Can't Go Home Home' While Enjoying Rehoboth Beach. President Joe Biden is a man of many houses but just one home, it seems. He made that clear Sunday when he told the press in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, he was not on vacation even as he enjoyed a sun, surf, and sand escape. The admission came after he went to Mass locally at St. Edmond Roman Catholic Church. "I have no home to go to," lamented Biden, who lives at the White House weekdays and spends most weekends escaping to the delights of Delaware, where he has not one but two residences.

Party! Party! Congress is the only place in the federal government where an opposition party has the authority to direct events. Mr. Comer who chairs the House Oversight Committee has assembled enough evidence of bribery and treason for Speaker Kevin McCarthy to commence an impeachment inquiry right away into the conduct of President "Joe Biden." I've used quotation marks around Mr. Biden's name since he ascended magically to this office in 2021 because it is obvious that he is only pretending to run the executive branch, and has been since day one on January 20, 2021. His March 5, 2020, Super Tuesday victories, after a drubbing in the Iowa Caucuses (4th place) and New Hampshire primary (5th place), had an odor of supernatural contrivance. His campaign from "the basement" was a joke, and it's still entirely possible, despite three years of massive gaslighting, that his victory in the 2020 election was a fraud.

What the Left Did to Our Country. Covid had allowed the unwell Biden to run a surrogate campaign from his basement as he outsourced his politicking to a corrupt media. Senility proved a godsend for Biden. His cognitive disabilities masked his newfound radicalism and long-accustomed incompetence. Unlike his past failed campaigns, the lockdowns allowed Biden to be rarely seen or heard — and thus as much liked in the abstract as he had previously been disliked in the concrete. His handlers, the Obamas, and the Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren radical Democrats, saw Biden's half-century pretense as a gladhander — good ole Joe Biden from Scranton — as the perfect delivery system to funnel their own otherwise-unpopular leftwing agendas. In sum, via the listless Biden, they sought to change the very way America used to work. And what a revolution Biden's puppeteers have unleashed in less than three years.

Even WaPo's 'Fact-Checker' Has Had Enough of Biden's Constant Lies. Up to now, the Washington Post's resident "Fact-Checker" Glenn Kessler has been a loyal propagandist for the leftist establishment, never breaking character or giving any sign that he was interested in or even capable of independent thought. Even Kessler, however, seems to have finally had enough of Old Joe Biden's constant lying. On Thursday, Kessler made what for the WaPo amounted to a remarkable admission: much of what Old Joe blathers on about is not "credible." That's a polite way of saying that the faux president is a liar. Yes, you knew that. Everyone did. But for the Washington Post, which has doggedly carried water for this disastrous regime even as it has driven America into a ditch, to admit it was momentous. To be sure, Kessler never accuses Biden of lying outright, despite Old Joe's lengthy history of lies that goes all the way back to his plagiarism in law school.

Joe Biden Has Spent 40 Percent of Presidency Away on Personal Trips. President Joe Biden has spent 40 percent of his time as president on personal trips away from the White House, according to data calculated by the Republican National Committee. The finding that Biden has spent 382 of his 957 days in the presidency away from the Oval Office was corroborated by the New York Post, using White House reports of Biden's movements.

Biden Meets with Paltry Crowd in Live Oak, Florida For His Cheap Photo-Op. Joe and Jill Biden on Saturday reluctantly traveled to Live Oak, Florida to survey the damage from Hurricane Idalia. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis snubbed Biden and refused to meet up with him for his cheap photo-op. Hurricane Idalia hit Florida's west coast earlier this week as a Category 3 storm. Biden showed up in Florida for a quick photo-op after major backlash for ignoring the Maui wildfires as he enjoyed back-to-back vacations.

Cutting Through Biden's 'Illusions'. Shokin is talkin,' and that could spell even more bad news for Joe Biden's stubborn insistence, in the face of mounting evidence to the contrary, that he had nothing to do with his son's slimy "business" activities. [...] The explanations Biden's apologists offer for the breathtaking corruption he and his family have clearly engaged in seem a lot like desperate pitches on behalf of an unsellable movie script; changing fiction offered in an attempt to address each freshly sprouting revelation of their surprisingly brazen bribery and political protection operation. But despite laboring to appear unruffled, even contemptuous of investigators' discoveries, each newly-filled piece of the payoff puzzle puts in sharper focus Joe's betrayal of the multiple oaths of office he's taken over the course of his long public career. Now his loyalists have seized upon something former Biden partner Devon Archer regurgitated to a House committee in his recent closed-door appearance. Archer quite damagingly admitted that Joe had indeed spoken to Hunter's associates numerous times, and further revealed that Shokin's activities were seen as a threat to Burisma. His mentioning of the Biden "brand" did no great help to their cause either.

Happenings Await. "Joe Biden" has LARPed his way to the final act of his performance. The evidence of his high crimes, and the covering-up of those high crimes by our lawless law officialdom, is piled high enough to eject him into the swales of infamy. We know exactly how the Ukraine grift went down — the documentation is stark and florid — as is the rest of the family's bribery operations in other lands not necessarily friendly to our own land. So, add treason to bribery and there you have the complete kit of perfidious treachery against the nation. "Joe Biden" will be removed most likely by his own party before an impeachment inquiry can be launched in Congress. Not even The New York Times and CNN would be able to ignore the horrific spectacle and the party's own minions might be shamed into learning how they were hosed for so many years.

New Emails Explain Why Burisma Offered Hunter Biden That Cushy Board Seat. Hunter Biden's laptop is a treasure trove of potentially felonious activity. It's a roadmap into the entire Biden operation concerning shady deals with corrupt oligarchs whose monies were funneled into shell companies owned by the family. These proceeds soared into the millions of dollars, which explains the over 170 suspicious activity reports from six banks regarding the family's financial transactions. Joe Biden's son raked in $20 million from these people — he still didn't know what was going on? Any parent would know, and Hunter isn't one to keep his mouth shut about his lucrative exploits. His ego wouldn't allow it.

Biden's Growing Feebleness Is Getting Harder for the Media to Cover Up. The number one problem Joe Biden faces going into his re-election bid is the economy. It stinks. A majority of Americans think it stinks. Almost every previous presidential election was based on the voter's perspective on the economy. Ronald Reagan's question still haunts all incumbents: "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" The pandemic and the economic fallout from business closings, supply chain disruptions, and $5.2 trillion in government spending — which led to a painful spike in inflation — have made the Reagan question somewhat irrelevant. The economy has come roaring back to almost where Trump left it. But people's perspective on the economy is still clouded. That's why this election may very well be decided by other factors.

The Self-Mythification of Joe Biden. Mr. Biden has been around the political arena since the mid-seventies and has a track record of mediocrity and of prevarication to suit his needs, but many Americans ignored his track record in 2020 because they didn't want Donald Trump to get another chance at making America great again. The interesting aspect of Joe Biden's victory over Trump was that Americans were so steeped in their Progressive ideology (and hatred for Trump) that they knowingly chose a professional, self-serving, corrupt politician with a sub-stellar history to lead the country. It was not a case of the blind leading the blind; it was the blind voting for a man they knew despised the blind!

James Comer: 'There Was Never Any Evidence' That Ukraine Prosecutor Biden Had Fired Was Corrupt. Newly unearthed government documents from the Obama era thoroughly debunk Joe Biden's repeated claims that former Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin had to be fired because he was corrupt. The memos reveal that Biden likely acted alone and counter to US policy when he threatened in December 2015 to withhold $1 billion in US loan guarantees for Ukraine in exchange for Shokin's ouster. "There was never any evidence that Shokin was corrupt," declared House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) Wednesday. In fact, in the weeks leading up to Biden's December 2015 visit to Kyiv, multiple Obama officials said they were "impressed" with the "progress" Shokin's office had made in rooting out corruption.

Fresh Evidence Airs Hunter's Most Corrupt Laundry Yet. Joe Biden maintains that he knew nothing of his son Hunter's business dealings. That is becoming a harder line to believe, considering the testimony and evidence coming out. It seems Biden and his son had a very close relationship while Joe was vice president. Former colleagues even claim Hunter included his father on numerous business meetings via phone. But it seems this mutual relationship when both ways. Many Americans are troubled by the idea that Biden was using his influence as vice president to help his son. But a new email reveals that was only the start of it. It appears the shady, criminally-charged son was influencing Biden's vice presidency.

Report: Hunter Biden's Firm and Vice President Biden's Office Exchanged Over 1,000 Emails. New records released by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) reveal that Hunter Biden's firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners, exchanged over 1,000 emails with the office of then-Vice President Joe Biden during the Obama Administration. As the New York Post reports, the records were released by NARA on Wednesday after a request from the conservative legal advocacy group America First Legal (AFL). At least 861 emails were sent or received by the Office of the Vice President during the period of time between January of 2011 and December of 2013, and over 200 more emails remain hidden due to the Biden White House citing executive privilege. "Release would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors," NARA claimed in its statement responding to AFL.

If Hunter Biden is not a public official, as we are so often reminded, why does he have executive privilege?
White House Asserts Executive Privilege over 200 Hunter, Joe Biden Records. The White House asserted executive privilege over 200 records housed at the National Archives (NARA) concerning Hunter Biden's business interactions with the Office of the Vice President during the Obama administration, according to America First Legal (AFL) on Wednesday. America First Legal launched a lawsuit to obtain records from NARA encompassing communications between January 2011 and December 2013 with the name of Hunter Biden's company, "Rosemont Seneca."

Hunter Biden Flew with Joe Biden on Numerous Air Force Two Flights to 13 Different Countries. There has never been a more crooked family in politics than the Biden family. Joe Biden flew his son Hunter Biden with him on Air Force 2 to thirteen different countries according to newly discovered records. On several of these trips Hunter Biden was hidden from public view or was already waiting in the car before Joe Biden departed the plane.

America First Legal Has Over 1,000 E-Mails Between Joe Biden (as Vice President) and Rosemont Seneca. Looks like Robert L. Peters or JRB Ware or Joe Biden or whatever name he goes by now is in deep shit. The corrupt media can only ignore for so long over 1,000 e-mails between Biden (while he was Obama's VP) and Hunter Biden's shell company Rosemont Seneca. [Tweet]

Americans are getting wise to Joe Biden's corruption — despite his media gatekeepers. Almost half the country thinks Joe Biden is corrupt, according to a new YouGov poll. While most Democrats are being ostriches, even 52% of independents don't believe the "Honest Joe" malarkey about the "poorest man in Congress" anymore. Among Americans who voted for Biden in the 2020 election, a full 13% have been red-pilled. They have eyes, and common sense, and somehow the avalanche of incriminating evidence spewing forth from the House Oversight Committee has managed to bypass the gatekeepers of the media and slowly permeate the public consciousness. Once people with eyes and common sense see the evidence about the influence-peddling racket operated by Joe's son Hunter and brother Jim to make millions of dollars from shady characters in China, Ukraine, Russia, Romania, etc., while Joe was vice president, it is impossible not to grasp the corrupt nature of that business and Joe's role in it.

DOJ tells Jordan FBI subpoenas can't 'be enforced,' warns Hunter Biden inquiry 'ongoing'. The Department of Justice informed the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday night that it would not cooperate with subpoenas for two FBI agents involved in the department's investigation of Hunter Biden because of the committee's stipulations for their depositions. Carlos Uriarte, DOJ assistant attorney general, claimed in a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner to committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) that his subpoenas to the two agents "lack legal effect and cannot constitutionally be enforced" because Jordan had prohibited DOJ lawyers at their depositions.

Bongino: Cocaine Left in Wh Wasn't an Accident, but a Delivery According to an 'Insider'. Dan Bongino, a conservative talk show host, said he has received new information that makes it probable that the cocaine discovered in the White House in July was intended for a Biden family member. The cocaine was discovered on July 2nd. ABC reports that less than two weeks later, the Secret Service terminated its investigation without designating a suspect, stating there was insufficient evidence to prosecute anyone. Sunday, Bongino provided a different perspective on the notion that the substance was connected to Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden. He began his account of a phone conversation with a "insider" by stating that the caller referred to the Biden family as "trash."

Marjorie Taylor Greene Demands Impeachment Inquiry to Uncover Joe Biden's 5K Alias Emails. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is "outraged" about Republicans' failure to immediately open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden following the revelation that the National Archives (NARA) possesses about 5,400 emails and records pertaining to Biden's email aliases. "I'm frankly very angry that we haven't done it yet," Greene said about a potential inquiry. "And it better happen when we get back into session. I want it the first week." Joe Biden's email aliases — "Robert Peters," "Robin Ware," and "JRB Ware" — were used to share government information and discuss business with Hunter Biden and associates, according to the Southeastern Legal Foundation, which filed a lawsuit to compel the agency to turn over the emails.

Top House GOP chairmen launch probe into Hunter Biden special counsel appointment. House Republicans are extending an investigation into Attorney General Merrick Garland's appointment of Special Counsel David Weiss to oversee Hunter Biden's federal case. A joint letter sent by the chairmen of the Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means Committees said Weiss's elevation from Delaware U.S. Attorney to special counsel "raises numerous concerns," claiming it undercuts Garland and Weiss's previous insistence that the prosecutor was already operating independently without political pressure. "Given the extremely serious nature of these issues, the Committees expect unfettered cooperation with our oversight from both you and the Department," the letter said.

Using the Dictator's — and the Mafia's — Playbook. The most egregious example of the Dem's control of institutions is the Hunter Biden laptop affair. Hunter's laptop has been in FBI custody since November 2019. It contains tens of thousands of emails, videos, bank records, documents, etc. that prove Joe Biden and the Dems took bribes and acted as foreign agents working against the United States. Immediately after the NY Post published an article (October 2020) about Hunter's laptop, 51 intelligence experts claimed it was Russian disinformation. Those 51 experts lied, as did Big Tech, Big Media, and every Democrat. Hunter's laptop is real, and was authenticated by the FBI in 2019. The laptop proves Joe's bribery guilt. Despite the FBI having the laptop, they refuse to investigate, the DoJ refuses to prosecute, and the media refuses to report — absolute proof that the Dems control every power institution.

National Archives reveals it has 5,400 Biden emails in which the president potentially used Fake Names to forward government information. President Joe Biden may have used pseudonyms in nearly 5,400 emails, electronic records and documents when he was vice president, a bombshell letter from the National Archives and Records Administration reveals. The trove of communications was confirmed after the Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF) filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for emails connected to aliases allegedly used by Biden, including Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, and JRB Ware. Republicans have been demanding the release of the emails they say could show Biden used the names to discuss foreign business with his son and share information on countries where he was doing deals.

The Latest Juicy Nugget in the Biden Bribery Scandal. The evidence that Hunter Biden was selling influence with his father's full knowledge and participation is already quite substantial. [...] As we know from Archer's testimony before the House Oversight Committee, Burisma's leadership called on Hunter Biden, who was sitting on the Burisma board at the time while earning $1 million a year, to help the company, which was under investigation. A call to Washington, D.C., was made two days before Joe Biden visited Kyiv, Ukraine, in December 2015 to request that the Obama-Biden administration do what they can to get Shokin fired. Shokin was ultimately fired due to Biden using a $1 billion loan to Ukraine as leverage, under the pretext that Shokin was not doing enough root out corruption. However, a Department of Justice memo from shortly before Biden's visit indicated that the position of the Obama-Biden administration was that Ukraine had made sufficient progress implementing anti-corruption reforms and deserved the loan — proving that Joe Biden was acting in his own personal interests, not that of the administration. So, what did Devon Archer and John Kerry discuss?

Joe Biden sent at least 5,400 pseudonymous emails as VP. [T]he National Archives and Records Administration is in possession of as many as 5,400 email messages involving Joe Biden where he used one of at least three pseudonyms, many discussing official government business. And, of course, plenty of them were sent to or copied to First Son Hunter. You know, the guy that he never spoke to about his foreign business dealings. And now a constitutional legal group has filed a lawsuit seeking to force the National Archives to turn them all over. Why a lawsuit would be required has yet to be made clear, particularly since they are obligated to provide nonclassified government records upon request.

Law Group Sues National Archives Demanding Federal Agency Turn Over 5,400 Biden Pseudonym Emails. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is being sued to turn over approximately 5,400 emails connected to then-Vice President Joe Biden's pseudonym accounts to forward government information and business with his son, Hunter Biden, and others. Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF) filed a federal lawsuit against the agency on Monday after NARA officials confirmed with other sources that Biden used three personal pseudonym email accounts under the names Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, and JRB Ware but has since "dragged its feet and still has not produced a single email," the law group said in a news release. "All too often, public officials abuse their power by using it for their personal or political benefit," Kimberly Hermann, general counsel for the legal foundation, said. "When they do, many seek to hide it. The only way to preserve governmental integrity is for NARA to release Biden's nearly 5,400 emails to SLF and thus the public. The American public deserves to know what is in them." The group identified thousands of potentially responsive records from NARA after submitting a Freedom of Information Act request in June in its latest effort to investigate allegations that Biden communicated with Hunter regarding his foreign business dealings dating back to 2017.

Emails Show David Weiss Collaborated with DOJ to 'Subvert' House Probe into Hunter Biden Case. The Department of Justice (DOJ) intervened on behalf of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to respond to congressional inquiries related to its probe into the Biden family business, emails unearthed from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit show. The collaboration raises questions about if Weiss' responses to congressional investigators were under the direction of the DOJ and if Weiss and the DOJ colluded to mislead Congress.

Two Presidents, Two Disasters, Two Narratives. [Scroll down] Flash forward from 2005 to 2023, with another disaster in a different state, this one being a raging wildfire in Maui, Hawaii. Leaving aside all the oddities of the fire and circumstances, and the inept government response, focus on today's president, how he reacted to the disaster and how the media reported on everything. Lahaina was engulfed in flames on August 8, after a series of smaller wildfires on Maui, driven by high winds from passing Hurricane Dora. Not only did President Biden not do a flyover, he went on vacation and had nothing to say about the Maui inferno. Compassionate Joe, a week after the Maui fire asked, "Congress for $40 billion to support Ukraine, replenish US disaster aid and bolster border." That's on top of the $100+ billion already spent on Ukraine waging a fruitless and losing proxy war against Russia. What did Maui residents get, other than a "no comment"?

Save the Rule of Law By Destroying It? We are witnessing the daily deterioration of President Biden to the point that caricature and jokes about his senility are no longer funny. He is not just an embarrassment but becoming an existential danger to the country. Does anyone believe that in a national crisis over Taiwan or nuclear escalation in Ukraine, Joe Biden would or could make the final decision? Biden cannot finish a teleprompter sentence without slurring his words, losing his place, or screaming and whispering in incoherent fashion. If that is his public persona, what he is like in private sessions of governance? He spontaneously both shouts angrily and creepily whispers for effect. Moving a lightweight aluminum beach chair becomes a Herculean task. In almost every impromptu speech Biden flat-out lies or spins self-serving autobiographical fantasies — often in the midst of foreign dignitaries, grieving families, and refugees from devastating natural disasters. Biden often does not know where he is on stage or where he is to enter or exit. He is one fall from oblivion. Not since Woodrow Wilson's final year in office, has any president simply been unable to fulfill his duties, both physically and cognitively. [...] Yet there has been almost no serious speculation in Congress or among the cabinet about invoking the 25th Amendment. This silence is doubly strange given the Left's former fixation between 2017-21 with removing Trump by any means possible — including invoking the 25th Amendment.

We Have Another Development in the Hunter Biden Bribery Saga. Sarah wrote about Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin breaking his silence about his dismissal from his post that he alleges was over his investigation into Burisma, which has sparked allegations that Biden family corruption played a part in his firing. Hunter Biden and his associate, Devon Archer, had cushy positions on the Ukrainian energy company's corporate board. Hunter was paid $50,000/month, the fee top Burisma executives paid for access to top American officials. Then-Vice President Joe Biden boasted about how he got Shokin fired by threatening to withhold aid to the country. It comes back to the FD-1023 report from the FBI, where the bureau's confidential informant claimed that Joe and Hunter were paid $10 million in bribes by Burisma officials. In return, the Bidens get rich, and Burisma gets a legal shield. The latest development on those allegations is that Archer met with then-Secretary of State John Kerry weeks before Shokin was given the axe.

Yes, when I think back about 9/11/2001, the first place that comes to mind is Alaska.
Biden will observe 9/11 in Alaska instead of the traditional NYC, Virginia or Pennsylvania events. President Joe Biden will observe next month's 22nd anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil at an Alaska military base with service members and their families, the White House announced. Biden will not participate in any of the observances at 9/11 memorial sites in New York City, Virginia or Pennsylvania. Instead, the president will stop in Alaska for a Sept. 11 observance at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage on his way back to Washington after a trip to Asia.

Spoiler: Yes.
Is Joe Biden the Worst President in History? Is Joe Biden the worst, the most depraved, blundering, and corrupt president in American history, as many have now come to believe? Victor Davis Hanson refers to the Biden clan as "likely the most corrupt presidential family in American history." Vito Corleone was a Boy Scout compared to Joe Biden. Indeed, Biden is so unprincipled and degenerate a specimen of humanity as to seem almost fictional, a Manchurian president intent on humiliating, perverting, and ultimately bringing down the country he is sworn to honor and represent. There is considerable consensus on this account.

Barack Obama the Vindictive Enforcer. [Scroll down] Let's face it: it is highly unlikely Joe Biden came up with the idea to cut open Trump's border wall in Arizona. Nor is it likely that the guy who couldn't find his way to a podium accomplished the goal of abandoning U.S. soldiers Benghazi-style or haphazardly arming the Taliban with billions of dollars in military war weaponry. Every policy decision, from the diminishing supply chain to destroying energy independence to the economic crippling of the middle class to the devastating invasion at the border to the vaccine mandates, hints at the forced exoneration of Obama's hurt feelings — on steroids. Then add to the equation the travelers aboard Biden's clown car, which include Giggles Harris, Sniffles Hunter, and the esteemed Dr. Jill. And if that motley crew being within a mile of the nuclear codes isn't scary enough, what's even more disturbing is how everyone who dared question the 2020 election is being tarred; feathered; disgraced, and primed for political, professional, and in Trump's case literal gallows.

Former top Ukraine prosecutor comes out swinging against Joe and Hunter Biden. In an exclusive interview with Fox News, former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin detailed the involvement he believed President Biden, the then-vice president, played in his firing and how it involved Hunter Biden's business dealings. During the interview with Fox News' Brian Kilmeade, Shokin said he was ousted in 2016 because he was investigating Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company where Hunter Biden served on the board. Shokin also claimed that Joe and Hunter Biden accepted bribes in the case, and that the then-vice president ultimately hurt America's reputation and created the groundwork for Russia to invade Ukraine.

Hunter Biden Has Moved Into a Malibu Home That Costs $15,800 Per Month. While Democrats and the media are giddy over Trump being treated like a common criminal, President Biden's son Hunter has been moved into a Malibu home that costs a stunning $15,800 per month. Hunter's taxpayer funded Secret Service detail is living in a nearby home with a similar price tag. Hunter must be selling a lot of those high-priced paintings these days.

Miranda Devine finds Hunter Biden's new Malibu pad a bit pricey 'for 2 people without jobs'. By many accounts, Hunter Biden had been living in the White House for quite some time and enjoying some travels on Air Force One. Ah, the perks of being close to the "Big Guy"! However, Miranda Devine spotted a story about the president's son, who is supposedly being investigated by a special counsel, and his fancy new digs: [Tweet] Has Hunter been moving some more of his finger paintings for big bucks to "friends"? [Tweet] The Daily Mail has more about the one-year rental as well as the one across the street that taxpayers are picking up the tab for: [...] According to the story the house is in a gated community, because for Democrats "walls don't work" for you or the national border but they definitely work for them.

Imagine Joe Biden's grate takes on great tragedies. A wildfire on Maui this month burned down an entire town. It was because the local electric company spent far more money pandering to the Greens than on making their power lines safe. And because the local water czar refused to divert water to firefighters because "water equity." It left over a hundred people dead and hundreds more still missing. Joe Biden's comment was "No comment." After all, he was on vacation — as he is 40% of the time — from the rigors of his usual vacation in the White House.

Joe Biden's got many aliases. The big question is why. Robert L. Peters is a man with many names. "Celtic." "The Big Guy." According to congressional investigators, most citizens know him as "President Joe Biden." Aliases are tricky things. They are sometimes innocent or essential like the code name that the Secret Service gives you as part of your protection like "Celtic." Then there are nicknames that are preferred to your given name. Take "The Big Lebowski." He did not like being called Mr. Lebowski and preferred "Dude" but he was flexible: "I'm The Dude. So, that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or, uh, Duder, or, you know, El Duderino. If you're not into the whole brevity thing." It appears that Biden also preferred on occasion not to be called "Mr. Biden." The question is why and whether Mr. Peters is more Big Lebowski or Big Guy.

Former Mob Boss Sheds Light on Biden Family Corruption. Former mobster Michael Franzese, 72, operated for many years as a caporegime in the Colombo crime family. He joined Fox News' Jesse Watters on Thursday night to discuss the striking similarities between the Biden family's alleged money laundering operation and his own experiences. (How much longer must we preface every mention of the Biden family's activities with the word "alleged"?) Franzese funneled money through a series of 18 shell corporations. He told Watters that these companies consisted only of a bank account through which funds could be laundered. Like the Biden family's shell corporations, these businesses "had no brick and mortar office[s], we had no employees, we had no product that we were selling." They were set up for the sole purpose of obfuscation.

Biden Suddenly Extends His Vacation, Leaving the WNBA Champs Hanging and Questions Abounding. If members of the WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces were excited to meet Joe Biden and the First Lady on Friday, they were left disappointed. According to Peter Doocy, the president suddenly extended his vacation in Lake Tahoe, choosing to instead send in the B-team of Kamala Harris and her husband to facilitate the White House event. Far be it from me to defend the terrible sports product that is the WNBA, but it seems pretty disrespectful for the Bidens to decide at the last minute that they had better things to do than to show up for an event that was planned months ago.

Unreasonable flight restrictions over presidential vacation spots. A security alert that was issued yesterday didn't really draw much media attention, which is understandable since not all that much unusual activity took place. But it's still worth a look because it highlights a disturbing trend that we've been witnessing for nearly two years now. The event in question involved an incursion into restricted airspace by a small, civilian plane over Lake Tahoe in California Friday morning. Two F-16 fighter jets were scrambled in response, along with a Coast Guard helicopter. Flares were fired in the vicinity of the small plane. So why was the airspace restricted? Because Joe Biden and his family were still vacationing there, of course.

The Biden Clan's Con Is Coming to an End. Despite years of Biden family and media disinformation, we are finally learning that Joe Biden really did fire Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin for looking into state corruption involving the oil company Burisma and Hunter Biden — and ultimately Joe Biden himself. As Vice President, Biden, in his own words, bragged that he had threatened to cancel the deliverance of American foreign aid to Ukraine unless Shokin was dismissed. So what is the Congress to do now — un-impeach and exonerate an innocent impeached Donald Trump, and instead impeach a guilty Biden for essentially the same allegations? After all, the Left redefined the impeachment bar in 2019 as leveraging foreign aid to Ukraine to benefit one's political career. And that is exactly what Joe Biden did to ensure his son could continue to raise millions for the Biden family with foreign governments, while being shielded from political consequences.

Why the House Has No Alternative to an Impeachment Inquiry into President Biden. When Congress returns next month, it has little alternative but to launch a long-discussed impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. For House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the case for an inquiry came from a most unlikely source: Attorney General Merrick Garland. The debacle in the Hunter Biden investigation has left most objective legal analysts in disbelief, with one CNN analyst calling it an "unholy mess." Even before the collapse of a widely condemned "sweetheart deal" with Hunter, the investigation headed by U.S. Attorney David Weiss was a growing concern for many observers. In prior years, I wrote about Garland's refusal to appoint a special counsel despite the obvious conflicts posed by the potential involvement of President Biden in his son's alleged influence-peddling scandal. I also raised the problem of an investigation that remained ongoing for years as the statute of limitations expired on major potential crimes.

Media hides it but Bidens are in big trouble. Seems the "nothingburger," as the progressive press likes to call the Hunter Biden saga, is turning into a Whopper. The latest: Hunter's lawyers threatened to put President Biden on the stand if Hunter were to be charged. "President Biden now unquestionably would be a fact witness for the defense in any criminal trial," lawyer Chris Clark wrote in a 32-page letter obtained by Politico. Hunter faced possible gun charges for buying a weapon as a drug user. What was Joe Biden going to testify? Stand up for his son and say the prosecution violated the Second Amendment? The same president who is shutting down hundreds of gun dealers? Or wait, maybe Joe was going to testify that Hunter didn't need to pay taxes on all his earnings because much of the money was going to benefit Joe and family. Perhaps he would have a defense for the Foreign Agents Registration Act. But we thought that Joe knew nothing about his son's businesses. How useful a witness could he be?

The Editor says...
Yes, by all means, put Joe Biden on the witness stand and see if he can stay awake for ten minutes and refrain from making some incriminating admission. I'd like to see that.

President Biden's Dementia. Has President Biden become so senile that he is now longer qualified to be commander-in-chief? The outward signs of dementia are everywhere. He often appears confused, unsure of his next move, and unable to remember his speech. Key political terms such as the "national debt" are improperly used, while his memory lapses include falsely claiming to have observed an event or declaring a climate emergency. Even the Washington Post has raised serious doubts about the president's mental acuity. Off-the-cuff remarks sometimes make no sense whatsoever. Such incidents have become commonplace and cannot be explained by slips of the tongue or fatigue. Nevertheless, the outward signs of dementia — confused mumbling, forgetfulness and the like — do not necessarily prove incompetence.

The right time to dump Biden is approaching. This is one indication:
WaPo columnist changes his mind, calls for Joe Biden to be fully investigated over Hunter's business dealings. President Biden involvement in his son Hunter's business dealings "deserves a serious investigation," Washington Post columnist Henry Olsen wrote on Tuesday. In his latest column, Olsen wrote that he originally "long dismissed" stories regarding Hunter Biden, but "recent revelations" changed his mind. "There's more than enough evidence to merit a thorough investigation of President Biden's involvement in his son's business dealings," Olsen argued. Olsen shared that recent testimony from former Hunter Biden business associate Devon Archer as well as claims that Biden used different aliases while dealing with Ukrainian policy merits some suspicion. Though these allegations don't prove that the president did anything illegal, he noted these claims suggest Biden "was aware of Hunter's dealings and wanted to keep his son in the loop."

Impeachment reimagined: a new approach to addressing Biden's corruption. Let's be clear, Joe Biden deserves to be impeached. There is more than enough evidence that he was involved in a pay-for-play influence peddling scheme, that he lied about it, and that he involved high ranking government officials to cover it up. But let's also acknowledge that we live in the real world, and expecting the GOP to do the right thing is more often than not a fool's errand. And, to be fair to them, even if they were to impeach Biden there is virtually no chance he would be convicted in the Senate and, if he were, Kamala Harris would be elevated to the presidency, which somehow may result in an even worse situation for the country.

Kevin McCarthy Threatens Impeachment Inquiry If DOJ Uses Special Counsel To Stonewall House Probe Into Bidens. The House Oversight Committee released bank records Aug. 9 showing that Hunter Biden received millions of dollars from Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina, who was married to Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov until his death in 2019. The House Oversight Committee identified roughly $20 million in payments to the Biden family. "We wanted to have a special prosecutor back in February but we were told by Garland that there was no need for one," McCarthy said. "David Weiss told us he could do it if he wanted, but what he told us privately with the IRS agents and what he told publicly along with the attorney general Garland, somebody is lying in this process and the only thing I realize here is the only stories that have not changed are the whistleblowers from the IRS. Their story has held up time and again."

What are the types of political fraud? In an era of quite a few political lies, deceptions, and misinformation, it is reasonable to ask oneself, what constitutes political fraud? Political fraud refers to deceptive or dishonest actions carried out within the context of politics, often with the intent to manipulate elections, public opinion, or government processes for personal or partisan gain. What follows are examples of political fraud.

The Editor says...
Clip and save the article above. It's a good description of everything Joe Biden is accused of.

Everyone Knows Why Joe Biden Used A Pseudonym: Corruption. Late last week, the House Oversight Committee asked the National Archives for unredacted communications involving three pseudonyms Joe Biden apparently used during his vice presidency: Robert Peters, Robin Ware, and JRB Ware. That's right, Biden used pseudonyms when he was vice president. Among the documents committee Chairman James Comer is requesting from the National Archives is an email sent to a "Robert Peters" — that is, Biden — with the subject line "Friday Schedule Card," which included an attachment that had details about a scheduled phone call between then-Vice President Biden and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in May 2016. The only person copied on the email was Hunter Biden. Isn't that interesting? Why would Biden use an alias to convey this information to his son? And why, if there was "an absolute wall" between Hunter's foreign business schemes and his father's duties as vice president (as Biden has repeatedly claimed), would he have told his son about a phone call with the Ukrainian president?

Regime Media Launder Dirty Details Of Hunter Biden's Plea Deal And His Dad's Filthy DOJ. The recently imploded sweetheart plea deal for Hunter Biden was even more sugar-infused than previously known, weekend stories by Politico and The New York Times revealed. But rather than condemn the Department of Justice for interjecting itself in the case against the president's son to pressure Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to end the investigation, the lengthy articles by Politico and the Times attempted to spin that fact and many more as evidence that Hunter Biden was being unfairly targeted. The narrative, however, just won't fly. Instead, it exposes more troubling details and provides further proof the House of Representatives needs to open impeachment inquiries against President Joe Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland, U.S. Attorney Weiss (and possibly the D.C. and California U.S. attorneys), and FBI Director Christopher Wray.

New memos undercut Biden-Ukraine narrative Democrats sold during 2019 impeachment scandal. Just weeks before then-Vice President Joe Biden took the opposite action in late 2015, a task force of State, Treasury and Justice Department officials declared that Ukraine had made adequate progress on anti-corruption reforms and deserved a new $1 billion U.S. loan guarantee, according to government memos that conflict with the narrative Democrats have sustained since the 2019 impeachment scandal. "Ukraine has made sufficient progress on its reform agenda to justify a third guarantee," reads an Oct. 1, 2015, memo summarizing the recommendation of the Interagency Policy Committee (IPC) — a task force created to advise the Obama White House on whether Ukraine was cleaning up its endemic corruption and deserved more Western foreign aid.

Hunter Biden document dump over the weekend. If you have been following the Hunter Biden legal case over the past thousand years or so, this weekend's revelations should interest you. [...] I would speculate that they were leaked by Hunter's team for their own reasons. [...] Biden's attorneys wanted an ironclad deal in writing to ensure no future prosecution, which eventually led to the current mess everybody has found themselves in. Weiss was prepared to drop the matter entirely, but when the IRS whistleblowers came forward he decided he needed some face-saving plea from Biden. With such explosive charges on the table, he needed to at least give Hunter a haircut.

The rest of them are okay with it.
Half of Dems Want Biden Gone If Bribery Charges Are True. Congressional investigators claim to have strong evidence that President Joe Biden and his family received a staggering $20 million or more in payments from foreign sources while he served as vice president under Barack Obama. If proven true, two-thirds of Americans say that Biden should either resign or be impeached, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll indicates. The accusation of possible bribery is serious. And a key House investigative panel says it has evidence, mostly bank statements, to back up claims that Biden took money from oligarchs in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. "The tally of foreign money to the Biden family has hit at least $20 million, based on the third round of bank records the House Oversight and Accountability Committee released Wednesday — pointing to millions from oligarchs from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine," reported the Daily Signal.

Delaware prosecutor Alexander Mackler was so chummy with president he used his secret email address. A Delaware prosecutor who worked in the office that is now prosecuting Hunter Biden sent messages to a secret email address that Hunter's father Joe had set up for himself, laptop records show. Alexander Mackler, 40, is a Biden family friend and worked as a prosecutor in the Delaware US Attorney's office from August 2016 through May 2019 — when the office's probe into Hunter's shady overseas dealings was already underway. Congress is demanding records from the Biden administration on Joe's use of personal email addresses to conduct government business, after communications on Hunter's laptop show the president used at least four aliases, with fake names including 'Robert L Peters' and 'Robin Ware'.

It's shocking that prosecutors were willing to let Hunter Biden off scot free. [Thread reader] But piecing together the two stories with what we already know, they raise even more alarm bells about how this case was handled. First, almost as soon as the Delaware U.S. Attorney's Office endorsed the conclusions below in Feb. 2022 (three felony tax violations and misdemeanors for 2015-2019), Hunter Biden's attorneys were working the refs behind the scene to prevent charges being brought. The Politico article doesn't reference the fact that the case had been presented to U.S. Attorney for D.C. Matt Graves in Mar. 2022 — or that the same day Hunter's team was meeting with prosecutors (April 26, 2022), Attorney General Merrick Garland was on Capitol Hill testifying before a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee that because the investigation is under USA Weiss, "There will not be interference of any political or improper kind." Hunter's attorneys were meeting with prosecutors from both Weiss's office *and* DOJ's Tax Division, because the Tax Division held the keys to whether Weiss's office would have freedom to pursue the charges or not. DOJ Tax could deny Weiss's ability to bring charges.

NYT: DOJ Planned to Let Hunter Biden Off the Hook Until Whistleblowers Emerged. The Department of Justice (DOJ) planned to let Hunter Biden off the hook without charges until two whistleblowers came forward to expose political interference in the investigation, despite the claims of Attorney General Merrick Garland. The New York Times exposed the inside dealings of Hunter Biden's attorneys with senior officials at DOJ, who had constrained U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss even as Garland was testifying to Congress that Weiss had full authority to act in the case.

Bombshell Reports: Weiss Was Preparing to Let Hunter Biden Walk With No Charges, Until This Happened. The New York Times and Politico published a pair of lengthy stories detailing the collapse of Hunter Biden's plea deal over the weekend, and they're packed with extraordinary details. It seems likely that members of the president's son's legal team acted as sources for both pieces — which offer a series of jaw-dropping claims about what was happening behind the scenes before the wrist-slap agreement disintegrated in open court, as the result of a simple question from the presiding judge. [...] Communications records indicate Weiss was preparing to close his years-long investigation, during which he'd inexplicably allowed statues of limitations to expire on what people familiar with the probe say were clear-cut felonies, to end without so much as a single guilty plea from Hunter Biden. On anything. He would have faced no justice on his tax evasion crimes, or the open-and-shut gun felony, or any possible FARA violations and other illegal activity that may have arisen over the course of the process. A total walk. Only when IRS agents blew the whistle on how the investigation was being handled, alleging special treatment and improper interference, did Weiss "suddenly" decide that some sort of guilty plea would be required.

Then-VP Joe Biden used PSEUDONYM 'Robert L. Peters' in emails to Hunter about Ukraine business. Republicans are seeking records revealing Joe Biden's use of pseudonyms to discuss his activities related to Ukraine with his son Hunter during his time as vice president. They specifically want an un-redacted document that indicates that then-Vice President Biden took a call with the president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, on May 27, 2016. Republicans say the document was emailed to 'Robert L. Peters' which is 'a pseudonym' the House Oversight Committee has 'identified as then Vice-President Biden,' a letter obtained by DailyMail.com states.

Joe Biden Had a Pseudonym Email Account He Communicated With Hunter on? House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is calling on the National Archives and Records Administration to turn over documents related to then Vice President Joe Biden's work in Ukraine while his son, Hunter Biden, was getting paid $80,000 per month by notoriously corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma. "Joe Biden has stated there was 'an absolute wall' between his family's foreign business schemes and his duties as Vice President, but evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family's influence peddling. We already have evidence of then-Vice President Biden speaking, dining, and having coffee with his son's foreign business associates. We also know that Hunter Biden and his associates were informed of then-Vice President Biden's official government duties in countries where they had a financial interest. The National Archives must provide these unredacted records to further our investigation into the Biden family's corruption," Comer released in a statement Thursday [8/17/2023].

House GOP demands unredacted records of Biden using pseudonym while VP. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer asked the National Archives on Wednesday to hand over any unredacted records in which President Biden used a pseudonym during his vice presidency — as Republicans move closer to launching an impeachment inquiry into his role in son Hunter's foreign business dealings. Emails previously released by the Archives and retrieved from Hunter's abandoned laptop reveal that Joe Biden used the email address "Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov" while he was President Barack Obama's second-in-command and that his aide John Flynn cc'd Hunter on 10 emails containing the elder Biden's daily schedule between May 18 and June 15, 2016. Comer's request covers records using Biden's other known pseudonyms — "Robin Ware" and "JRB Ware" — and makes pointed requests for certain documents, such as drafts of Biden's December 2015 speech to Ukraine's parliament.

Hunter Biden's Legal Team Used Joe Biden to Blackmail DOJ. A stunning nugget of information dropped late Saturday night, giving us a peek into the sausage factory of Hunter Biden's legal strategy that ultimately led to his sweetheart plea deal. It turns out that Hunter Biden wasn't only using his father's position in his shady business deals, but he also actively weaponized it to get an unprecedented plea deal. The plea deal, as you know, was deemed unconstitutional by Judge Maryellen Noreika, and she rejected it — namely over the blanket immunity he would receive as part of the pretrial diversion agreement. Not only would Hunter get no jail time, but he also couldn't be prosecuted for a multitude of crimes he'd allegedly committed, including violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

Hunter Biden Team Used Threat of Joe Biden to Pressure and Coerce the DOJ. In a stunning bit of Saturday evening news, a new report is shedding light on the negotiations that took place between Hunter Biden's legal team and the DOJ. In late July, the two sides were mere moments away from securing a sweetheart plea deal until Judge Maryellen Noreika started questioning the arrangement. Things quickly deteriorated after the judge questioned whether there was any precedent for offering broad immunity in the diversion agreement related to Hunter Biden's gun charge. At the time, one of the questions surrounding the agreement was why the president's son was being offered pre-trial diversion in the first place. As some pointed out at the time, any person distributing drugs while being in illegal possession of a firearm is supposed to be charged with a felony. Further, the DOJ is supposed to seek a mandatory minimum of five years in prison as part of "Project Safe Neighborhoods." Instead, a gun charge that could have brought ten years behind bars was brushed under the rug, with the diversion agreement serving as a vehicle to offer an arguably improper amount of immunity.

The Puppeteers reveals who's pulling the strings. Whoever designed the cover of Jason Chaffetz's newest book The Puppeteers did a terrific marketing job, putting focus not on the five silly puppets now trying to distract us (The A Team) but on "The people who control the people who control America" (The B Team). This is the central theme of Chaffetz's book. In the first four chapters, Chaffetz contrasts what the federal, state, and local elected officials should be doing to secure our freedom and strengthen our economy with what the globalist B Team of unelected bureaucrats have been doing to weaken America. [...] "So who," Chaffetz asks in Chapter 5 ("Most Power, Least Famous") was Biden's Svengali on the economy?" His answer is Brian Deese, the former "global head of sustainable investing at Blackrock." Blackrock hired Deese while Trump was in office. This was also the time when only a few wealthy American voters knew that Blackrock was building a giant global investment company whose ultimate goal was to create an 'economy without borders' through the World Economic Forum (WEF).

The Longer Republicans Sit On Their Hands, The More Likely America's Self-Destruction Becomes Irreversible. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced on Friday that U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss, who orchestrated Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal, will now serve as special counsel in the government's probe of the Biden family business. The blatantly partisan decision to appoint a co-conspirator in the plot to cover up the Biden family business should not go unpunished. Republicans should start by impeaching Garland, whose track record even before the recent special counsel appointment was worth immense scrutiny. Garland's decision to bestow special privileges and status on yet another one of Biden's corrupt deep-state attorneys only adds to the growing list of reasons why he should be prosecuted and removed. Garland isn't the only one who should pay. The whole DOJ, its pawns in the FBI, and whoever in the White House is giving them orders should be held to account for their travesties against the American people.

CIA Sued for working with the Biden campaign to produce 'Dirty 51' intel letter calling Hunter's laptop disinformation. The CIA has been sued for its role in helping to craft a letter from 51 intelligence officials discrediting Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation. The letter that was signed by 51 intel officials in 2020 immediately before the presidential election falsely claimed that Hunter Biden's laptop had all the 'classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.' A Republican report released in May showed that the CIA was actively involved in getting signatures for the letter which 'was a political operation to help elect' Joe Biden in November 2020.

The 2024 Michelle Obama Factor. Over the summer, media commentators on both the left and right have been discussing Joe Biden's political future. They all largely agree on one thing: Biden is not a viable presidential candidate in 2024. They cite Biden's immense unpopularity due to his disastrous record as president in every field, from the economy to the border to the war in Ukraine. [...] Commentators also note that Biden is certainly not acting like a 2024 presidential candidate. Biden has no campaign office and does no campaigning. [...] Biden is sure acting like someone who is just marking time, rather than someone who is president now or has any real plans to run again. In fact, Biden's entire presidency seems like he's doing a favor for someone. If so, who could that someone be? The Biden presidency began with a slew of Obama-esque executive orders reversing many of Donald Trump's accomplishments, and exists with about 70% of staffers who are veterans of Obama's eight years in the White House. All evidence points to none other than Biden's old boss, Barack Obama.

Andrew McCarthy Exposes the Real Reason for Hunter Biden's Sweetheart Plea Deal. With David Weiss' promotion to special counsel, the future of the Hunter Biden probe appears unclear. Charges have been officially dropped in Delaware as part of a stated plan to charge the president's son in another jurisdiction. That begs the question of why the charges were ever in Delaware in the first place if they supposedly don't belong there now. If it feels like the DOJ is hoping to draw a less-skeptical judge to rubber stamp yet another sweetheart plea deal, that's probably because that's what appears to be happening. A recent leak revealed that while the FBI believes it has evidence to charge Hunter Biden with FARA revelations (and the publicly known evidence is stunning), the special counsel isn't really interested in pursuing that path. From the moment news broke that Hunter Biden was being charged with two misdemeanors for not paying his taxes (and being given pre-trial diversion for a gun charge that normally demands prison time), it has seemed as if the DOJ was more interested in representing the president's son than actually prosecuting him to the full extent of the law. There may be even more to it, though and his latest piece, Andrew McCarthy exposes what he believes is the real reason for the sweetheart plea deal.

Three aliases, Joe? The Biden Mafia setup is crystal clear. President Biden took an oath of office in which he swore his highest duty was to his country, but it's clear he has only one loyalty: his crooked, access-selling family. It's positively Mafiaesque. The latest development: House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) is demanding unredacted access from the National Archives to emails Biden sent as veep using any of his three known pseudonyms: Robert L. Peters, Robin Ware and JRB Ware. (The prez got a little lazy on #3, it seems.) Comer outlines the clear possibility that these aliases were an attempt by the then-vice president to deflect scrutiny from his dealings with son Hunter — citing a May 2016 email in which Biden's schedule for the day was sent to Hunter (the only other real person copied on the email) and the "Peters" alias. That schedule included a call with Ukraine's then-president, Petro Poroshenko, as Hunter sat on the board of Burisma.

NY Post: Laptop data shows Joe Biden used pseudonyms to pass inside info to Hunter. "JRB Ware," indeed. Despite years of claiming that Joseph R. Biden has bewared of involvement in his son Hunter's businesses, the e-mail record from Hunter's laptop tells a much different story. The New York Post analyzed their copy of the data and discovered that the pseudonyms identified by James Comer passed along inside information to Hunter. That includes diplomatic developments in Ukraine that related to Hunter's business interests there while Biden was vice-president.

Joe Biden's email aliases reveal truth behind the facade. In public he appears increasingly out of it. He speaks nonsense, he shows flashes of inappropriate anger, he walks off stage in the middle of events, and he has trouble with stairs. Even Democrats are beginning to admit to serious doubts about his ability to function as president. But what if it's all an act? I ask that because the latest word is that, according to James Comer, President Biden had at least one pseudonymous email account that he used so he could secretly collude with his son (and alleged bagman) Hunter. The only reason to run such an account is to make sure that the emails don't get archived in official systems and aren't available under the Freedom of Information Act, and to keep the communications out of the reach of critics, and possibly law enforcement.

Leaked Docs: Hunter Biden Was Involved in Trump Impeachment Over Ukraine. Hunter Biden was involved in Trump's impeachment over Ukraine, according to documents leaked to Politico. Hunter Biden's lawyers leaked the entire case file related to the DOJ's 5-year investigation and it's a sight to behold. The New York Times and Politico both published leaked documents revealing new information about Hunter Biden's case and the inner workings at the Justice Department. According to emails leaked to Politico, Hunter Biden met with impeachment lawyers in January 2020. Recall, in September 2019 then-Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry into President Trump over his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. President Trump's phone call with Zelensky was cordial and there were no threats, no pressure and no quid pro quo as Adam Schiff and the Democrats liked the public to believe.

Six Obama Admin Officials Used Alias Emails: Obama, Hillary, Holder, Lynch, Jackson, Biden. Six Obama administration officials used alias email addresses, including then-Vice President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama. Whether connected to a government network or not, it is unusual for government officials to use an email alias. Not only is it peculiar, it raises questions about why Obama administration officials utilized aliases and whether government secrets were compromised.

Why Did Joe Biden Need Three Aliases in Ukraine-Related Emails? Awww, You Know Why! One of the more underreported stories of the week is Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) of the House Oversight Committee requesting that the National Archives fork over every email involving the Biden Racketeering Family and their "dealings" with Burisma and Ukraine. What no one seems to realize is that there are unknown names that have popped up in emails, "Robert L. Peters," "Robin Ware," and "JRB Ware."

Hunter Biden case move to Los Angeles may be evidence the feds 'found something': Dershowitz. After U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss was named special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Fox News the change-in-venue from Delaware to Los Angeles may be more important than it seems. Attorney General Merrick Garland named Weiss, a Trump appointee held over by President Biden to eschew concerns of conflict-of-interest, special counsel in the first son's case last week. Dershowitz noted the announcement was accompanied by a change-in-venue from the District of Delaware to the Central District of California, where Hunter Biden lives when he is not at his father's home in Greenville, Del.

Hunter Biden's Lead Lawyer Asks to Withdraw from Case After Plea Deal Blows Up. Hunter Biden's lead lawyer Christopher Clark asked the Delaware judge overseeing Hunter's case for permission to withdraw from the case after the plea deal fell apart. Christopher Clark said he could be called as a witness in the future. [...] Prosecutors say the venue for Hunter Biden's tax-related charges lies either in California or DC, not Delaware.

That the money went to family members is not a defense to a bribery charge. Imagine that I'm a politician (granted, that will never happen, but play along). I like attention and I like money. But much of the attention I've gotten over the years has been negative, and the straight salary of a politician is not very good. That's always bugged me. Imagine further that you're someone who wants "access" to me, such as a corrupt foreign government official or corporation. For that access, you're willing to pretend to respect me and, moreover, you're willing to pay me that money I've always deserved. Conscious of the appearance of impropriety and the reality of the bribery laws, I tell you not to send that money directly to me. I tell you to send it to my family. This is a ruse used by mobsters for years. It doesn't work. The bribery laws prohibit the payment of "something of value" to the bribed official. Money sent to his family is considered a value to him personally. That the Bidens tried to disguise their bribes with the mobster scheme of having the money sent to family rather than directly to Joe, and further tried to disguise the bribes by setting up a network of shell companies to launder the money, is just proof of their guilty state of mind — their mens rea in legal jargon. Why would they go to that trouble if not to hide the operation? And why would they want to hide it if it were legal?

Is This Why Joe Biden Will Drop Out of the Race? While campaigning for president, Joe Biden adamantly denied any involvement in his son Hunter's business dealings. By Biden's own words, he was careful to keep Hunter's foreign business deals separate so as not to give the impression of impropriety that could raise questions. But he can't do that anymore. The amount of [convincing] evidence that has come out has made that impossible, and now, a large majority of Americans believe Joe Biden and his son Hunter broke the law by selling foreign influence. "Fully 63 percent of voters say the president breached the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which obliges people to declare foreign interests, when he served as vice president and his son worked with the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma," reports the Daily Mail. "Another 29 percent said they did not believe Biden, a Democrat, had broken the rules, and 8 percent were not sure. Republican voters overwhelmingly said Biden had committed wrongdoing, as did 38 percent of Democrats."

Let Them Eat Solar Panels. Recently, during a speech at a high-dollar fundraiser for the League of Conservation Voters in Washington, D.C., President Joe Biden exulted about a solar project in Angola. According to a transcript of his speech that can be found on the White House's website, Biden said: "We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean. We have plans to build in — in Angola one of the largest solar plants in the world. I can go on, but I'm not. I'm going off-script. I'm going to get in trouble." Ignore, of course, Biden's gaffe about building a railroad across the Pacific. Ignore, too, his statement that he was "going to get in trouble" for going off script. Joe Biden is the president of the United States. He commands a huge arsenal of warships, warplanes, and nuclear weapons. With whom, exactly, might he be getting in trouble? Instead, focus on the part about the solar project in Angola.

What Will Biden Admit To Next? [Scroll down] So, what other things that everybody already knows to be true — but Biden steadfastly refuses to admit — can Biden come clean about? We fear such a list would be too long for this space. But how about we start with:
Afghanistan was a disaster of Biden's making: Nobody denies this, except Biden.[...]
Bidenomics is failing: Everybody knows it, which is why Biden's approval rating on his handling of the economy is getting awfully close to single digits.
He knew all about Hunter's business dealings: Even with the corporate media blackout in place, facts are slowly emerging that despite his repeated denials Biden knew plenty about Hunter's shady business dealings and almost certainly traded his position as then-vice president to enrich his family.
He is not fit to be president: The only person who seems to believe that Joe Biden is physically and mentally up to the job of the presidency is Joe Biden.[...]
Kamala Harris is not fit to be vice president: Biden's reelection campaign recently described Harris as a "powerful and effective messenger." Sure.[...]
Barack Obama is calling the shots: It's been an open secret for years that Obama is the brains behind the enfeebled Biden's presidency. An extensive article published recently in Tablet put plenty of meat on the bones of that.

Report: Biden Campaign Backed Out of Recent MSNBC Appearance to Avoid Questions About Hunter. Joe Biden's campaign manager was supposed to appear on MSNBC a few days ago and reportedly backed out because the campaign was worried about having to answer questions about the growing scandals around Joe's son Hunter. In other words, the Biden campaign can't stand up to scrutiny from the most left wing cable news network on TV. This just goes to show that even the Biden campaign knows how vulnerable Joe is on this issue. The Hunter controversy has the potential to do real damage to Biden in 2024.

Karine Jean-Pierre: 'Zero Evidence' Joe Biden 'Discussed,' or 'Involved with,' Hunter Biden's Businesses. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at a briefing Monday that there was "zero evidence" that President Joe Biden had "discussed," or was "involved with," his son Hunter's business dealings, now under scrutiny by a special counsel. Jean-Pierre answered questions from reporters on her first briefing in several weeks, and the first since Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware, who was already investigating Hunter Biden, as the special counsel.

Georgia grand jury hands up 10 indictments in Trump 2020 election investigation. Former President Donald Trump and 18 of his allies and supporters were indicted Monday by a Georgia grand jury in connection with his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the Peach State. Also charged in the indictment — which was signed by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney shortly before 9 p.m. and unsealed approximately two hours later — were former Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis and Kenneth Chesebro. Also accused were former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, ex-Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark and Trump 2020 Election Day director of operations Michael Roman. Trump, 77, faces 13 counts in the case, matching a docket prematurely posted to the Fulton County Superior Court's website around noon.

White House Keeps Reporters Outside Shouting Distance On Biden's Return From Delaware. The White House kept reporters outside shouting distance from President Biden as he returned home from his Delaware beach house on Monday. Several reporters attempted to shout questions at the Commander in Chief anyway over the whirring of Marine One's propeller, but the president walked past the White House press corps without taking questions. "Any comment on the special counsel, Mr. President?" one reporter shouted. "Will you be handing your bank records over to Congress, President Biden?" shouted another. [Tweet with video clip]

President Biden plans ritzy Lake Tahoe vacation next week. President Joe Biden jets off to ritzy Lake Tahoe on Friday for another summer vacation as the White House still hasn't announced plans for him to visit fire-devastated Hawaii. He didn't answer questions about the issue when he returned to work on Monday after a weekend at the beach, after avoiding comment on the tragedy this weekend. The president is scheduled to arrive in Lake Tahoe on Friday, August 18 and will stay there until the following Thursday, according to guidance from the White House.

Joe Hides in Delaware, Has Spent 40% of his Presidency on Vacation. President Biden relaxed at his Delaware beach home as questions surrounding his family's international bribery scheme continued to swirl. In total, the Commander-in-Chief has spent 40% of his presidency on vacation. [Tweet with video clip]

Joe Biden's Race Against the Truth. Joe Biden has about 17 months left as an elected politician — if he is lucky. That projection guides most of the inexplicable and shameless behavior of the Department of Justice and Biden himself. View Biden as in a race against the truth. Will he be physically and mentally able to complete his term and head to retirement before his decades-long crimes of corruption catch up to him? Joe Biden's serial yarn that he never knew anything about his son Hunter's quid pro quo grifting with rich foreign grandees has been finally exposed as the old lie it always was. Biden's fallback untruth — that he never got involved in Hunter's business — proved instantly laughable, given prior [...] testimonies from Hunter's business associates, from IRS whistleblowers, from the assertions of foreign beneficiaries, from Hunter's own laptop, and from Joe's own earlier loudmouth braggadocio about using threats of canceling U.S. foreign aid to fire a Ukrainian prosecutor looking into corruption of the sort in which his own son was knee deep.

Lawfare Rep Goldman Admits Biden Broad Immunity Deal Was Political Construct Intended to Protect Biden Family. Wickedness has a way of manifesting in the human body. As the physical lifeforce within Daniel Goldman begins diminishing, the pale and sullen former Robert Mueller operative appears on CNN to discuss the Hunter Biden case and the appointment of the special counsel. Skilled in the dark arts of lawfare, Representative Goldman spins the investigation to its situational opposite; however, he does reveal that David Weiss was motivated by politics when he constructed the plea agreement for Hunter Biden. According to Goldman, the plea deal was built around broad immunity for any criminal conduct so that a future DOJ — one not in alignment with the Biden crime syndicate — could not hold the Biden crime family accountable.

Yes, they would get in the way. Also, they would gave attracted an audience of about ten die-hard socialists.
Biden-Harris to Pass on Visiting Maui: They 'Don't Want to Distract' from Relief Efforts. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will not visit Maui in the aftermath of the deadly wildfires because they "don't want to distract" from the relief efforts, Harris announced on Friday. The wildfires, which began Tuesday and continue to blaze, have destroyed acres of property and taken dozens of lives. On Friday, local officials announced the death toll increased to 67, making it the deadliest wildfire on U.S. soil since the 2018 Camp Fire in California killed at least 85 people.

Timeline Of Ukrainian Pay-To-Play Scheme Confirms Bidens' Corruption. The Biden crime family's multi-million-dollar bribery and money-laundering operation has more moving parts than an 80-year-old grandfather clock. Even newsaholics find it tough to follow this scandal's interlocking meetings, phone calls, trade junkets, wire transfers, and shady characters with unpronounceable names. As just-appointed Special Counsel David Weiss soon will learn — unlike "White House aides break into Democrat headquarters" — capturing the Bidens' shakedowns requires more than one bumper sticker. [...]The Bidens' Influence Peddling Timeline vividly illustrates the assorted crooks who paid Hunter Biden, his associates, and eight of his relatives (including Joe Biden's grandchild, niece, and nephew) at least $21,342,300 for access to "the Big Guy," the former VP and now POTUS.

'Shoeless Joe' Weiss and the fixing of the Hunter Biden game. Roughly 100 years ago, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson admitted that, as a player for the Chicago White Sox, he and seven other teammates had intentionally lost the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds in 1919. [...] After being confronted by allegations of a fixed investigation, Attorney General Merrick Garland just sent Shoeless Joe back into the game. The appointment of Delaware David Weiss as the new special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden left many with the same disbelief as that kid in Chicago. This is, after all, the same Weiss who headed an investigation that was trashed by whistleblowers, who alleged that his investigation had been fixed from the outset. It is the same Weiss who ran an investigation in which agents were allegedly prevented from asking about Joe Biden, obstructed in their efforts to pursue questions and compromised by tip offs to the Biden team on planned searches. It was also the same Weiss who reportedly allowed the statute of limitations to run out on Hunter's major tax offenses, even though he had the option to extend it.

Hunter's New Special Counsel Appointment Is A False Flag. To hear Merrick Garland tell the story, granting Special Counsel status to the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden proves he is taking this case seriously. Critics say it's proof of precisely the opposite. [...] This is, of course, the same prosecutor (from Delaware, no less!) who had tucked broad immunity deal the fine print of the plea deal. When the judge called [out] that clause, the deal fell apart, and could not be revived. The inability to revive the deal is what prompted this next step. Weiss has already run a case that has let the statute of limitations lapse in the most egregious of his tax crimes and has asked for special prosecutor status. This comes at precisely the moment in which GOP Congressional oversight has been lining up witnesses — including Weiss — as they seek answers to whether Biden's DOJ has been applying the law selectively and whether this appointment is a ploy to handcuff an investigation into what could ultimately determine whether there has been criminal corruption on the part the Joe Biden himself.

Schweizer: 'You Cannot Separate the Biden Businesses from Joe Biden's Political Position in Power'. Friday, during an appearance on FNC's "Hannity," New York Times best-selling author, Breitbart News senior contributor, and Government Accountability Institute president Peter Schweizer dismissed claims that the Biden families businesses could be separated from President Joe Biden's past positions of power. According to Schweizer, Hunter Biden's Rosemont Seneca business was "centered around" his father's position of power.

Dan Goldman Admits Politics [was] Behind Hunter Biden Sweetheart Plea Deal. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), a former Trump impeachment prosecutor, gave a stunning explanation for why U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss gave Hunter Biden immunity in a failed plea agreement last month on tax and gun charges: To protect Biden from prosecution by a "vindictive" Donald Trump should he win the 2024 presidential election — thereby confirming that politics is indeed playing a role in decisions by Weiss and Attorney General Merrick Garland who appointed Weiss as special counsel on Friday in the Hunter Biden case. Goldman made his remarks Sunday morning on CNN's State of the Union in an interview with host Jake Tapper.

'Strong-arming': Appeals court judges compare Biden social media pressure to mafia. Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod declared in court that the Biden administration's efforts to persuade social media companies to remove, throttle and suppress purported misinformation on COVID-19, Hunter Biden's laptop and elections reminded her of a mafia movie. That was just one of the most memorable examples of the frosty reception Justice Department Civil Division lawyer Daniel Tenny received Thursday from the three-judge panel considering whether to lift or modify last month's ban on several forms of contact between the feds and companies — currently stayed by the 5th Circuit — as the First Amendment lawsuit led by Missouri and Louisiana proceeds. The back-and-forth at Thursday's hearing resembled that between 6th Circuit judges and DOJ's lawyer at a June hearing in a related social media censorship lawsuit against federal officials by users of X, formerly known as Twitter. Both panels were appointed by Republican presidents.

Garland's Special Counsel Gambit Confirms Hunter Investigation Was Always Shady. In a Friday news dump, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced he's appointed U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware, David Weiss, as special counsel in the probe of Hunter Biden. "I have concluded," Garland claimed, "that it is in the public interest to appoint him as special counsel." Which makes zero sense. Wasn't Weiss already responsible for the "ongoing investigation" of President Joe Biden's son "as well as for any other matters that arose or may arise from that investigation?" For years now, Garland claimed that Weiss had ultimate authority to investigate charges against Hunter or any other criminality related to the Biden family business. Yet he didn't do anything. Politico, for example, explains that a special counsel appointment is bad news for Hunter because a "request for a change of venue would not have been possible without Garland's special counsel designation, which now gives Weiss the latitude to file charges outside of Delaware." But in a June press conference, Garland reiterated that Weiss could prosecute Hunter in "any way he wanted to" and anywhere he wanted to.

Why Weiss? Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of United States Attorney David Weiss as special counsel in the investigation of Hunter Biden yesterday. [...] Weiss is special. On that we can agree:
• Weiss is the "prosecutor" whose plea deal with Hunter Biden failed to pass muster with Judge Maryellen Noreika, the federal judge presiding over the case.
• "These agreements are not straightforward and they contain some atypical provisions," Judge Noreika observed.
• Weiss is the "prosecutor" whom IRS whistleblowers have just called out for abetting the suppression of of the investigation and lying about his authority to Congress, among other things.
• Weiss is the "prosecutor" who has spent five years on the investigation and never gotten around to seeking an indictment of Hunter Biden as the clock has ticked to bar the most serious tax felonies Biden's has committed.
• Weiss is a United States Attorney and therefore ineligible for special counsel appointment under the applicable regulations.

Biden's Iranian Hostage Deal. Since January 20, 2021, the Harris-Biden administration has delivered a relentless cycle of incompetence, ineptitude, incoherence, corruption, subterfuge, and scandals. The citizen suffers due to inflation, high crime, the open border, crumbling infrastructure, and a lot more. If they dare to raise their voices they are targeted much like the regime's foremost political opponent, President Donald Trump. Internationally, the regime has weakened and demeaned the US. Following its hasty and unplanned withdrawal from Afghanistan that betrayed allies within the country. It also handed that country back to the most dangerous terror organizations in the world. The Harris-Biden administration has managed to make the U.S. appear untrustworthy, dishonorable, and unreliable. The withdrawal doubtlessly emboldened President Putin to intervene in Ukraine after repeated provocation from surrounding NATO countries. The war in Ukraine continues to this day and there is no way for anyone to know what actually is happening because most of the Western media is pushing a narrative and not covering facts.

Elise Stefanik: David Weiss Is 'Compromised and Cannot Be Trusted'. House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) released a statement following Attorney General Merrick Garland appointing U.S. prosecutor David Weiss special counsel in the ongoing investigation of Hunter Biden. "This is absolutely unacceptable to the American people. David Weiss is compromised and cannot be trusted to conduct a fair investigation into Hunter Biden," Stefanik said in the statement. "It was David Weiss who signed off on Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal that was so outrageous a federal judge threw it out," she observed, promising that House Republicans will "continue our constitutional duty of oversight, following the facts wherever they lead." [Tweet]

GOP Slams Biden for 'Bowing' to Ayatollah, 'Endangering' Americans with 'Reckless' $6 Billion Iran Deal. Republican officials blasted the Biden administration for "bowing to the Ayatollah" and "endangering" Americans, after it struck a deal with the Iranian regime to transfer five Iranian-Americans from prison to house arrest in exchange for billions in unfrozen assets. On Thursday, the Biden administration's deal with Tehran to unfreeze $6 billion in Iranian financial assets and release a "handful" of Iranian nationals jailed for violating U.S. sanctions in exchange for five Americans taken prisoner by Iran on highly dubious charges of espionage, came to light.

Impeach Biden, Make Democrats Sweat. We see that congressional Republicans' constipation has flared up again. It's a chronic, though voluntary, distress. Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and Alejandro Mayorkas are begging to be impeached, yet Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other bunged-up House Republicans refuse to extrude. It's time to — well, you know what — or get off the flippin' pot. True justice — unfashionable among most "progressives" — demands action. And politics — a dirty word to dainty Republicans — also demands action. Let's set aside the sinister Merrick Garland and the plodding, lying apparatchik Alejandro Mayorkas. They can be impeached another day. Joe Biden needs to be impeached, ASAP. One needn't qualify that Biden is, "perhaps, the most crooked president in history," because, hands down, he's the biggest, dumbest scoundrel to occupy the Oval Office. Bill Clinton isn't dumb; he's wily, but runs a close second in the scoundrel department, as does his semi-estranged wife, the nefarious Hillary. As Peter Schweizer explained, Bill and Hill were slicker stashing the cash. Joe is like a psychopathic crook, practically flaunting his crimes. For decades, he's exhibited his compulsive lying. It knocked him out of the 1988 Democrat presidential nominating contest. But being an inveterate liar isn't a disqualifier in politics. It's only doing it stupidly in ways that harm comrades that busts anyone.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green on David Weiss. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene issued the following statement following today's appointment of Davis Weiss as Special Counsel to cover up Hunter Biden's criminal career: "Today's move by Merrick Garland to appoint David Weiss as Special Counsel to investigate (and in reality cover up) Hunter Biden's criminal career is the latest action in a continuous pattern of corrupt behavior by Joe Biden and his regime. Behavior typically only seen in juntas in third-world nations or early twentieth-century dictatorships in Europe. This is a cover-up, plain and simple. This appointment is designed to protect Joe Biden from his exposure to the serious and substantial investigation Republicans are conducting in Congress. This move establishes a firewall to protect the Biden family from their crimes of influence peddling and selling access to 'The Brand,' former Vice President Joe Biden. Every subpoena, every record request, every transcribed interview, or any other effort in an impeachment inquiry will be be blocked by this corrupt and unlawful Special Counsel under the guise of an 'investigation.'[..."]

Garland and Weiss Throw Bag Over Hunter Biden Investigation with Declaration of Special Counsel Status. Oh, there will be voices who will proclaim this is the beginning of the end for Joe and Hunter, but that's nonsense. We don't do pretending on these pages. What happened today was an agreement between USAO David Weiss and US Attorney General Merrick Garland to fortify a silo of protection around the Biden family. The shift in David Weiss from an investigative US Attorney to an officially appointed Special Counsel, is nothing more than loading the new color spray paint into the canister. Pesky House Oversight Committee inquiry now hits the block of an "ongoing investigation," a purposeful deployment of a DC replay we have seen repeatedly in the last several years. The cancer of corruption is institutionally metastatic.

Special counsel in Biden investigation is a sweet pick for Hunter. In a move that should come as a surprise to no one, Merrick Garland has appointed, as special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden, the one man who can most be counted on to continue covering up for the Biden family crimes. That man is David Weiss. This is the self-same David Weiss who allowed the statute of limitations to lapse on Hunter Biden's most serious crimes, while offering him a plea deal so broad, so lenient, and for crimes so minor that the prosecutor Weiss sent to court had to admit to an astonished judge that there was no legal precedent for it. To her credit, the judge rejected that sweetheart plea deal out of hand. That would be the David Weiss whose office IRS investigators-turned-whistleblowers testified prevented them from even interviewing Hunter or executing search warrants to collect evidence of his crimes — and the same David Weiss who blocked those IRS investigators from using the mountains of evidence contained on Hunter's infamous laptop from hell. Yes, David Weiss, who, five years after the beginning of this sham investigation, has not indicted Hunter Biden for anything — while the statute of limitations on his serial and thoroughly documented felonies continue to slip away.

Tom Cotton Reveals What He Really Thinks Is Behind DOJ's Move To Refile Charges Against Hunter Biden. Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas took to Twitter to sound off on Friday's news that the Department of Justice (DOJ) moved to refile tax-related charges against Hunter Biden in a different venue after his plea deal fell apart in Delaware. The DOJ announced Friday that it would voluntarily vacate two tax charges against Hunter Biden without prejudice in order to refile the charges in the Central District of California or in Washington, D.C, rather than in Delaware. Cotton suggested that the DOJ moved to refile the charges against President Joe Biden's son so that a more sympathetic judge adjudicates the matter and signs off on a lenient deal with Hunter's attorneys, weeks after Judge Maryellen Noreika rejected a plea deal in a Wilmington, Delaware, court in July that some legal experts described as a "joke" and a "sweetheart deal." "Biden's DOJ wants to dismiss the charges against Hunter, supposedly to refile them elsewhere, no doubt before some liberal judge who will rubber-stamp a sweetheart deal," Cotton wrote. "Remember, when Biden's DOJ and Hunter's lawyers meet, they're not negotiating. They're conspiring."

House Oversight Chairman Claims Special-Counsel Appointment Part of Biden 'Cover Up'. House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer on Friday accused the Justice Department of trying to cover up the Biden family's wrongdoings, after Attorney General Merrick Garland announced he would appoint U.S. attorney David Weiss as a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden. "This move by Attorney General Garland is part of the Justice Department's efforts to attempt a Biden family coverup in light of the House Oversight Committee's mounting evidence of President Joe Biden's role in his family's schemes selling 'the brand' for millions of dollars to foreign nationals," Comer said in a statement. "The Justice Department's misconduct and politicization in the Biden criminal investigation already allowed the statute of limitations to run with respect to egregious felonies committed by Hunter Biden."

CBS News Reporter Might Have Exposed the Reason Behind AG Garland's Pick for Hunter Biden Special Counsel. [T]he Justice Department has appointed a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden. The announcement from Attorney General Merrick Garland drops two weeks after the sweetheart plea deal for the president's son fell apart, being tossed by a judge who couldn't get over a few of the charges, including gun crimes. Most Americans who have committed what Hunter allegedly did go to prison for years. US Attorney David Weiss has been selected to spearhead this effort. [...] Yet, as some have noted, this would delay some other inquiries into the activities of Hunter Biden, namely that they need to interview Mr. Weiss, who reportedly tried to charge the president's son multiple times but was blocked. We need that congressional testimony. As Donald Trump plays for lengthy trials over his three indictments, Biden seems to be taking a page out of that legal playbook. CBS News Reporter Catherine Herridge also highlighted that point when this announcement [was made].

Grassley Declares Weiss Unfit for Special Counsel Job, Pledges Ongoing Congressional Investigation Into Biden Family Bribery. Immediately after the announcement by Attorney General Merrick Garland that Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss had requested to be appointed Special Counsel, news cameras caught up with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) at the Iowa State Fair for his take. Fox News didn't catch the first few words of his statement, but here is a transcription of the rest: ["]...[a] year ago we sent a letter saying we should have a Special Counsel. So the short answer to your question is, it's about time. On the other hand, I have some question about Weiss doing it, because Johnson and I sent all of this material that we had from the Cathay Bank in regard to the payments that were made to Hunter Biden, and we don't know what they did with them, and we know from the IRS whistleblowers that they never did anything with the 1023 document that I got released. So you just wonder how thorough Weiss is doing it. And then you have this plea agreement that fell through, and there's speculation now that the Justice Department can't work out another plea agreement, so they're gonna have to go to trial. So is the special counsel set up to interfere with going to a trial right away, or are they ready to — there's some other reason for doing it.[..."]

'We Are Going to Subpoena' Bidens: Comer Previews What's Next With Investigations. The House Oversight Committee under Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has been moving at a rapid speed when it comes to investigating Biden family corruption. Whatever Comer and his committee have done thus far, though, there's more coming, even after they face "obstruction" including but not only from the Biden family. He outlined what's next during his Fox Business appearance on "Morning with Maria" on Thursday morning, as he also went over with host Maria Bartiromo that there does look to be a connection between President Joe Biden from his time as vice president and son Hunter Biden with his shady business dealings.

Joe Biden Tells a Whopper of a Lie to Veterans, Claims He Has Been In and Out of Iraq and Afghanistan Over 38 Times. Joe Biden on Thursday delivered remarks on the one-year anniversary of the PACT Act in Salt Lake City, Utah. Biden's speech was full of lies and gaffes. Joe Biden told an egregious lie about his granddaughter Navy Joan Roberts. Biden falsely claimed all of his grandchildren have Secret Service protection. Biden's granddaughter Navy Joan Roberts does not have Secret Service protection. All Biden does is lie.

Biden Descends Into Complete Incoherence in New Mexico. As we noted, he designated a new monument which is raising a lot of questions about whether this move will harm our national security. His move also helps the Russians by cutting off our ability to develop uranium deposits within the ambit of the land blocked off by the national monument. The land in question is almost a million acres, including land far away from the Grand Canyon, the area the new monument designation was supposed to protect. There's also a question about how much land is being taken from private citizens and how it may affect their rights. On top of that, he didn't seem to understand what the number and nature of the wonders of the world were, and he showed off some full-blown hypocrisy with a huge gas-guzzling motorcade while sermonizing about climate change.

The Editor says...
Never mind the motorcade in the middle of nowhere — what about the multiple jumbo jets needed to bring his limousine(s) out to the desert, and all of it just for show?

"I cheated the bribers" is not a sound defense to a bribery charge. The walls are closing in around the Bidens. Sworn testimony and bank records show that they accepted at least $20 million from foreign entities during the time Joe was Vice President. These foreign entities are notoriously corrupt ones such as China, Russia, Romania and Ukraine. Joe's son was the ringleader, but it was Joe that he was selling. Joe was the "brand" according to sworn testimony. Who else could have been? There's no conceivable reason for these foreigners to send millions to the Biden family other than to influence the "brand." Recall that Joe assured the American people in the 2020 campaign that he had never talked to his son about the son's so-called business. In view of a written record showing that assurance was false, his new line doesn't dispute that he talked with the son about his business, but, he says, he was never in business with the son.

House Oversight Committee Releases Bank Records Showing Foreign Payments to Biden Family From Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has released details of the banking transfers from foreign businesses into the Biden family while Joe Biden was in office. The payments flowed into companies set up by Hunter Biden and Devon Archer, the witness who testified to congress. Those companies then distributed the money (laundered) into subsidiary companies of Rosemont Seneca, and then the money was distributed to the Biden group. One of the transactions, traced through bank records by the House investigators, was the payment of $3.5 million from Yelena Baturina, wife of the Mayor of Moscow.

Joe dined with [a] Russian oligarch with links to Putin and the Mafia - who gave Hunter's shell company $3.5 million. Bombshell new bank records reveal that Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina gave millions to Biden-connected shell companies after dining with Hunter and then-Vice President Joe, and was notably not on a list of sanctioned Kremlin allies after the invasion of Ukraine. In the spring of 2014, Baturina joined Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and a handful of his business partners — including Devon Archer and Kazakh oligarchs Kenes Rakishev and Karim Massimov — for dinner at Cafe Milano in Washington, D.C. Archer confirmed that Joe was present long enough to eat dinner with the group.

House GOP release bank records on Hunter Biden payments from Russian, Kazakh oligarchs. House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., released a third memo Wednesday about the Biden family's foreign business dealings, producing bank records purporting to show that Hunter Biden and his business associates received millions in payments from Russian and Kazakhstani oligarchs when his father was vice president. The 19-page memo, which provides screenshots of redacted bank records, says millions in payments came from Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, as well as Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina and Kazakhstani oligarch Kenes Rakishev, and that then-Vice President Biden attended dinners with Baturina, Rakishev and a representative from Burisma. "Then-Vice President Biden met — in person, for significant periods of time — with those individuals or their representatives," the memo states. "Then-Vice President Biden joined approximately 20 phone calls on speakerphone with Hunter Biden's foreign business associates and attended dinners with foreign oligarchs who paid huge sums of money to Hunter Biden. Joe Biden, 'the brand,' was the only product the Bidens sold."

Does Ukraine Have Kompromat on Joe Biden? Throughout the Trump presidency, the mainstream media constantly suggested that Russia had so-called "kompromat" on the president — embarrassing materials used as a weapon of influence through blackmail. [...] All the kompromat talk swiftly ended the moment Joe Biden became president because surely no foreign government could have any dirt on him. This left no one to ask the obvious question: Could Ukrainian officials have kompromat on Joe, given all the allegations of his corruption in Ukraine? It's a much more reasonable question about Joe Biden than it ever was when posed as a certainty about Trump. After all, Hunter Biden was paid many millions of dollars by the shady Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, despite having no qualifications for the job that anyone could point to beyond being the son of the Vice President at the time — which proved fortunate when his father fired the general prosecutor of Ukraine, Viktor Shokin, who had begun an investigation into the Burisma-Hunter gravy train. And yet, in obvious contrast with their obsession with Russia's kompromat on Trump, the mainstream media has lined up to dismiss the corruption allegations against Biden as a nothingburger.

House Oversight Republicans tracked $20M in foreign sources to Biden Inc. As always, the first step in any political scandal is — follow the money. The House Oversight Committee under Republican chair James Comer has spent several months doing just that with the Biden family's archipelago of limited-liability corporations (LLCs) and strangely generous oligarchs in eastern Europe and Central Asia — and they have struck gold, almost literally. According to Fox News, the committee has tracked $20 million in payments to Biden Inc, and have at least correlated those transactions to curiously coincidental actions of family members — including "squeaky clean" Joe himself: Comer also released the new report this morning, detailing the transactions.

Joe Was Using Hunter, Not The Other Way Around. Megyn Kelly is joined by Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, to discuss the carefully cultivated image of Joe Biden as a family man, questions about his lack of empathy, and whether Joe Biden actually exploited and used Hunter Biden as a bagman. "All along I thought it was corrupt, hot mess Hunter exploiting the dad's name and kind of bringing Joe in on a deal here or there to pay some bills, that this was a Hunter operation. It's just now dawning on me that no, this was a Joe Biden operation using Hunter, it's the other way around," Megyn Kelly said. [Video clip]

Foreign oligarchs moved millions to Biden-tied firms before meeting Joe Biden, investigators say. Firms tied to the Biden family collected more than $20 million from foreign sources, including big payments from controversial oligarchs who afterwards had private dinners with Joe Biden as vice president, congressional investigators disclosed Wednesday. In its third memo analyzing bank records, the GOP-led House Oversight and Accountability Committee reported it had found a clear pattern of the Biden family and its partners doing business with Russian, Ukrainian, Kazakh, Chinese and Romanian figures who had legal and other troubles and then collecting money around the times of gaining access to Joe Biden. The pattern, the congressional investigators noted, corroborates recent testimony from former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer that the presidential son solicited business from foreigners who were seeking influence, access or protection from a family "brand" that included Joe Biden.

Biden interview from the Grand Canyon: He's already declared a national emergency for climate change. Who knew? I sure don't remember Joe Biden declaring a national emergency over climate change. It seems like I would have remembered that if it was true. This is Joe Biden we're talking about here so take everything with a big ole grain of salt. Guess where the habitual liar-in-chief gave his first sit-down interview in over a month? He sat down with a longtime reporter for The Weather Channel. Yep, The Weather Channel. He is rightfully being mocked for that decision. To be fair, he surely didn't make the decision, his staff did. We all know Biden doesn't actually run the country. Those around him do that. Joe Biden holds on to the climate issue for dear life — his political life. Conservatives and other rational people are angry over the heavy-handed push to increase regulations and restrictions on regular Americans in the name of saving the planet while all it really is is a power grab by leftists. Far left environmental whackos are angry that Biden's overreach isn't happening faster. So, Biden has latched on to the alleged climate crisis as a top issue in his public remarks and speeches.

$20M and Counting: Tally on Foreign Money to Biden Family Rises With Release of New Bank Records. The tally of foreign money to the Biden family has hit at least $20 million, based on the third round of bank records the House Oversight and Accountability Committee released Wednesday — pointing to millions from oligarchs from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. Foreign sources sent the money to Biden family members and business associates while Joe Biden was vice president during the Barack Obama administration. In February 2014, Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina transferred $3.5 million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton, a shell company owned by Hunter Biden and his partner Devon Archer. About $1 million was transferred to Archer, and the remainder was used to initially fund a new company account, Rosemont Seneca Bohai. In July, Archer testified to the House committee that while Biden was vice president, he showed up for a dinner with Hunter Biden's business associates that included Baturina.

Court Records Show Hunter Biden Received Millions From China, CCP Affiliates. Court records from Hunter Biden's imperiled plea deal with the Department of Justice (DOJ) divulge details on more than $2.6 million the first son received from China and affiliates of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Earlier, the DOJ announced a plea agreement with Mr. Biden, President Joe Biden's son, whereby he would plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax crimes and would have a felony gun charge diverted. During a July 26 hearing on his plea deal with the DOJ, Mr. Hunter Biden admitted to having received money from the Chinese energy firm CEFC. In exhibit 1 of his plea agreement, prosecutors went more in-depth on transactions between the first son, Chinese companies, and CCP affiliates. Income received from such sources is listed as at least $2.6 million in all, however the total is likely substantially higher due to the combined way some of his income was listed in the document.

White House cocaine may have come from 'someone in the Biden family orbit' and Joe Knows who it is, shock report claims. President Joe Biden knows who brought cocaine onto the White House premises last month, and the culprit is 'within the Biden family orbit', according to a report. Hunter Biden, who has been open about his cocaine addiction, was not involved, the source told Soldier of Fortune website. The drug was found on July 2 in a cubby in the West Wing, where visitors leave their personal items prior to entering the main building.

The National Scandal That Is Too Big to Break. Conservatives looking to expose the full extent of the Biden family's corruption have a problem: the scandal might be too big to break. Typically, there are three main entities involved in taking down a politician over a corruption scandal. First, there is the media, which broadcasts the details of the scandal, eroding public support. Second, there is law enforcement, which investigates and, if necessary, presses criminal charges. Third, there is the party establishment, which ultimately abandons the politician as a matter of self-preservation, signaling that it's "game over." But what happens when a scandal is so big that the people responsible for breaking it are implicated in it as well? That is the situation which now faces the mainstream media, the federal intelligence bureaucracy, and the Democrat Party.

The Hunter Biden saga illuminates the Biden family's rapacious corruption. [Thread reader] ... and even worse, the corruption of federal agencies to protect them. Also, it's further evidence that we must shatter the elite bubble and force them to live in the America they made for the rest of us. Of COURSE the corruption angle is huge, arguably the story of the century in American politics. Socialists claim they can create an all-knowing mega-government run by honest, selfless geniuses - but what they always deliver is a corrupt sewer state run by greedy mediocrities. There are no big, honest governments, and every one of the many, many embarrassing tales of mega-corruption must be spotlighted to keep proving it, over and over again. The most important goal of civic reform today is shattering the pernicious illusion of Honest Big Government. Hunter Biden is an absolutely perfect example of what socialism actually delivers: a privileged elite of boundless greed and degenerate morality, milking cash out of the trillion-dollar state by peddling influence and selling protection, insulated from all legal consequences.

Biden's crime family is all of DC. Joe Biden himself bragged five years ago about withholding aid to get the prosecutor fired. Here's the video. Republicans did nothing about Biden admitting to doing what RINOs and other Democrats falsely accused Trump of doing. Nothing has come out of Biden storing classified secrets in his garage. There is no way Joe will be impeached or Hunter will do any jail time because if they go down, all of Washington will go with them. Washington protects its own because they fear if one goes to jail, he will bring them all down. Hillary said she would bring DC down with her. Guess what? She never was indicted even though she forwarded state secrets via email to foreign donors to her fake charity when she was secretary of state.

The Machinery of Government is Coated with Gunk. The juxtaposition of the Department of Justice's handling of Hunter Biden with its outrageous treatment of Donald J. Trump justifies Scott Adams's view: "We can now see all of the machinery of government, from influence peddling to fake news to intel-supported hoaxes to political persecutions." Diving even deeper, as have Jonathan Turley, James Freeman, Dan Bongino, and David Samuels, it's beginning to look as if Barack Obama knew of Hunter's corruption and the danger it posed to national security and did nothing about it. In exchange, he's serving a third term as president behind the scrim while the demented present officeholder serves as a front. Giving Hunter a pass does more than underscore the Administration's double standard, it explains why the Democrats worked so tirelessly to weaken 2020 election procedures to advance to the highest office a man demonstrably unfit to carry out its duties: They had him on a short rope — he either ceded the powers of office to Obama or Hunter's illicit dealings would land both Hunter and him in jail.

Silk Road Paved with Cash: Court records confirm millions flowed to Biden family from China. In the end, there really was a silk road of money that flowed from China to the Biden family's coffers, despite Joe Biden's insistence to the contrary. The U.S. Attorney's office in Delaware — which charged Hunter Biden with tax and gun crimes last month — released to a federal court last week a now-scuttled plea deal that affirmed the presidential son got millions himself from Chinese sources in 2017-18 alone. That included money from a Chinese energy firm as well as legal payments from a Chinese executive convicted of bribery. The records confirm reporting from investigative author Peter Schweizer's book "Red Handed," Just the News stories and investigations by Congress that date to 2020 when Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed bank transfers from Beijing to Biden accounts.

Jim Jordan Accuses FBI's Pointman on Government-Directed Censorship, Elvis Chan, of Perjuring Himself Before Congress Regarding the Hunter Biden Laptop. Apparently a single FBI agent, when asked by the social media companies the FBI was demanding censor the story, confirmed that they knew the Hunter Biden laptop was real. However, after that, the FBI executed a walkback, insisting they had no comment on whether the laptop was real or not, and were even unsure about it. Elvis Chan lied when he told Congress he did not speak to the social media companies after that initial, unguarded admission by an unknown FBI agent that the laptop was real. But he did, and the suspicion is that he doesn't want to admit that conversation because he might well have lied to the social media companies and told them the laptop was fake.

The Cover-up of Cocainegate Continues. It's been over a month since a small bag of cocaine was found inside the White House. No one has been arrested, and we've been led to believe that it is impossible for the Secret Service and the FBI to determine who brought the illegal substance into the most secure building in the world. Not only are we supposed to believe that no cameras captured who brought the cocaine in, but we're supposed to believe the plastic bag it was in had no fingerprints on it. [...] The outcome of the investigation was predictable. Not only have the White House and Secret Service been deliberately keeping expectations extremely low, but the narrative surrounding the location of the cocaine also underwent several changes. It was glaringly evident that a cover-up was underway.

James Comer to Release More Biden Family Bank Records This Week. More Biden family bank records will be released this week, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) announced. Comer predicted in June that newly subpoenaed Biden bank records would show the family accepted up to $30 million from its foreign business dealings. "This week, I plan to release more Biden family bank records," Comer posted Monday on Twitter. "Unlike Democrats, bank records don't lie."

There is no lid. We all know what he's been up to.
This Hunter Biden business partner could blow the lid off Biden family's business dealings. Following Devon Archer's bombshell congressional interview last week alleging President Biden's deep involvement with Hunter Biden's business dealings, a new light is being cast on his son's longtime business partner who stands to know even more. Eric Schwerin visited the Obama White House and then-Vice President Biden's residence at least 36 times between 2009 and 2016, likely to make him the next target of the House Oversight Committee's investigation into the Biden family's business dealings. Schwerin was the founding partner and managing director of Hunter's now-dissolved firm Rosemont Seneca Partners when he was appointed by then-President Obama to the Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad, an independent U.S. government agency, in early 2015.

One 45-Minute Stretch of Joe Biden's Tuesday Schedule Raises Eyebrows - and Questions. With President Joe Biden's light summer schedule where he's taken umpteen vacations including several weekend trips to Camp David with his embattled son, Hunter Biden, and at least three to Rehoboth Beach, the obvious question many of his critics have been asking is: Does this guy ever work? Unfortunately for Biden, those questions will only get louder once word gets out about what's on his calendar for Tuesday, which is not only light but also includes a 45-minute lookout of the Grand Canyon: [Tweet]

It does seem a bit odd to spend 45 minutes looking at the Grand Canyon, at 4:35 p.m. on a hot August day, when the man should be in a nursing home.

Is This Proof That Joe Biden Ordered the Indictment of Trump? According to the narrative that the White House is pushing, Special Counsel Jack Smith is carrying out his repeated indictments of former President Donald Trump "independently" without any influence, pressure, or coordination from the White House. To help maintain the illusion of independence, Joe Biden has recently declined to respond to questions about it when asked. But Biden's past comments on this issue make it quite clear that Special Counsel Smith is actually doing exactly what Biden ordered. [...] Donald Trump was indicted earlier this month on charges relating to his actions after the 2020 election leading up to Jan. 6, 2021. The charges include conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. Experts have panned the indictment for being incredibly weak. It may have taken a year, but the indictment finally came down a week ago. But it's quite clear from the New York Times article that Biden was encouraging his attorney general to use the power of the government to stop Trump from returning to office.

House chairman accuses FBI of lying about social media contacts involving Hunter Biden laptop. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan released new evidence Monday that he said shows the FBI lied about meeting with Big Tech companies before the 2020 election to discuss Hunter Biden's laptop, a story that social media companies were censoring at the time. The "FBI LIED ABOUT MEETING WITH BIG TECH REGARDING NY POST'S HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY," Jordan wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Jordan published documents showing the FBI's comments on the Hunter Biden story when it first broke and how FBI Special Agent Elvis Chan testified about his meetings with Facebook representatives. Chan and Foreign Influence Task Force Section Chief Laura Dehmlow met with Facebook on Oct. 14, 2020, the day the New York Post published its story on the Hunter Biden laptop. Dehmlow met with both Twitter and Facebook that day.

New Questions Raised About Joe Biden's 2022 Remarks Regarding the Prosecution of Donald Trump. Joe Biden has said in the past that he isn't interfering with or involved in the prosecutorial efforts against his campaign opponent, former President Donald Trump. In June 2022 Biden said, "I never once, not one single time," suggested to the Justice Department anything about bringing charges. "I'm honest," he said, pounding the podium. He sounded a lot like Bill Clinton in his infamous Monica Lewinsky speech, and we know how honest that was. It also sounded a lot like the fervor of Biden's repeated remarks denying that he had ever spoken to his son about his business, which we know is not the case. But now some are calling out that statement from Biden and raising questions about what Biden allegedly said about prosecuting Trump in a couple of old New York Times stories.

More evidence of Joe Biden's probable role in Hunter's business dealings. When it comes to Joe Biden's knowledge of and possible complicity in Hunter Biden's dealings with foreign businesses and businesses connected to foreign governments during his father's vice presidency, the big questions are "Did Joe Biden know what was going on, did he participate in what was going on, did he profit from what was going on, and did he alter American foreign policy based upon that profit?" The contents of Hunter Biden's laptop indicated that the answer to each question is yes. There's also emerging evidence that proves that the answer to each question is yes. It now turns out that one of Hunter's business associates had dozens of trips to the White House and Joe Biden's office and residence during the Obama presidency. This time, the associate isn't Devon Archer or Tony Bobulinski, neither of whom claims to have met with Joe Biden very often. Instead, it's Eric Schwerin, who, along with Hunter Biden, founded the now defunct Rosemont Seneca Partners and also served as its managing partner.

Devon Archer's Wife Falsely Claimed She Had No Involvement in BHR Partners. Devon Archer's wife, Krista Archer, falsely claimed she had no involvement in her husband's business activities, despite evidence to the contrary. Krista Archer holds a ten percent stake in a Chinese state-backed investment fund, BHR Partners, according to legal documents unearthed by nonprofit Marco Polo and exclusively obtained by Breitbart News. "I have no idea what he did in his business," Krista Archer told the Daily Mail in July. "I'm a doctor, I go to work and mind my own business." "I swear I don't. I stay out of it," she claimed.

Remember that Biden Dinner That Joe Biden Never Attended? Well, he did. "The Bidens are the best at doing exactly what Chairman wants." That WhatsApp message to a Chinese business associate was the perfect epitaph for the entire Biden corruption scandal. Part of the brilliance of the Biden influence peddling operation was to invest the media in the denial of any scandal. That is no more evident than the much discussed 2015 dinner of President Joe Biden with his son's foreign associates. The alleged dinner demolished Joe Biden's long denials of any knowledge of his son's dealings. Accordingly, the Biden campaign denied he ever attended and the media happily dismissed the account. Well, the dinner meeting reportedly occurred, he attended, and, as usual, most of the media has not fully informed their readers or viewers. Indeed, even though Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates was central to this denial, most of the media cannot be bothered with such trivialities. In 2020, the New York Post reported that Hunter introduced then-Vice President Biden to a top executive at Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, which was giving him more than $50,000 per month. The Biden team and its media allies went into full crisis mode. Andrew Bates, who was still with the communication team of Biden's 2020 campaign, assured the public that it was false.

Bartiromo: The DOJ Is Waiting for More Evidence of Things to Come Out on Joe Biden — Then They Will Give Georgia the Go Ahead to Release Another Indictment. Maria Bartiromo went on FOX and Friends Weekend to discuss her upcoming show this morning. Bartiromo announced her guests and then made a prediction on upcoming indictments against President Trump. Maria Bartiromo: I will also tell you that all of the lawmakers I spoke with over the weekend, and many of them are on board they want an impeachment inquiry started. They believe that a Georgia indictment is coming in two weeks. So I assume the DOJ is waiting for more evidence of things to come out on Joe Biden and the Biden Family taking money in and then they will give Georgia the go ahead to release another indictment on President Trump.

The changing story on Biden family business dealings. Devon Archer, a former friend and business partner to Hunter Biden, testified Monday as part of the House Oversight Committee's investigation into the Biden family business dealings and alleged foreign corruption. Archer made several key claims, including that Hunter was brought on to the board of Ukranian energy company Burisma because of his familial connections and that Hunter put then-Vice President Joe Biden on the phone his business associates at least twenty times to demonstrate his access to US government power. Archer's testimony complicates the insistence from President Joe Biden, the White House and their friends in the media that President Biden was oblivious to his son's business dealings taking place abroad in places like Ukraine and China. "I have never discussed, with my son or my brother or with anyone else, anything having to do with their businesses. Period," said Biden in 2019.

America and the Common Characteristics of Authoritarian Regimes. [#11] Rubber Stamp Leader: Voltaire famously said about the former state of Prussia that "while most states have an army, the Prussian Army has a state." In current times it is the deep state that controls the 'leader' who is either mentally unfit or willingly servile or both. During his final years, Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev suffered from dementia, resulting in his mumbling speech and bad memory. The strings were pulled by the regime.

Trump Was Right Again And Again About The Biden Family's Foreign Business Dealings. Former President Donald Trump's assertions during the 2020 presidential campaign about the Biden family's foreign business dealings have proven to be accurate. Trump routinely criticized then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden about his son's dealings with Ukrainian, Russian and Chinese associates when he was on the campaign trail, most notably at the presidential debates leading up to the November 2020 election.

The Essential Impeachment. Our elected representatives in D.C. are faced with just such a circumstance. To impeach Joe Biden or not to impeach Joe Biden. [...] The essence of these arguments is that impeachment/no impeachment offers no good option. I submit that this is a form of the Fallacy of the Excluded Middle. The basic case in favor of impeachment is simply that he should be impeached because the President has been shown beyond any reasonable doubt to have been a central conspirator in a bribery scheme between government actors. At this point, the lawyers should sit down, and politicians ought to stand up. Bribery is listed in the Constitution as a cause for impeachment, so there can be no argument that this satisfies the first criterion. But now Democrats will object that there must be evidence of present bribery because Joe wasn't President when he got paid, and there's no evidence that he's getting paid right now. But they leave out a key element of bribery. The person being bribed promises some action in favor of the person bribing. These actions offer occur after the bribe is paid. In the interregnum known as 45, Joe got lots of payola in anticipation of being able to do favors from the White House later. Since those favors are arguably continuing, the bribery continues.

Tucker With Devon Archer, Part 2, Lays out Real Story About Ukrainian Prosecutor, Blows up Dem Spin. It's rather curious that Devon Archer, Hunter Biden's business partner, chose to do an in-depth interview with Tucker Carlson — someone the Biden world no doubt would view as an enemy. If you're trying to assess where his head is at on this whole matter and wondering if he's being fully forthcoming, that would seem to be: "You can't shut me up, and this is how much." [...] That must be the 5,008th time that Joe Biden's claim he "never spoke to his son about his business" gets blown up. In the second part, Archer laid out some of his background with Yale, where he played lacrosse, various banking institutions, and fundraising as a "baby bundler" before the 2004 election. He thought that was going to lead him to a White House job. When the Democrats lost, that's when he started Rosemont Capital with a focus on real estate, which he described as pretty successful, having $3 billion under its management. It's fascinating, and Tucker let him talk, as Archer laid out how this all evolved. [Tweet with video clip]

A Country Descending into Madness. [Scroll down] Fake President Biden, on the other hand, has engaged in every crime, indecency, and reckless behavior that the Deep State swore Trump would commit. Biden uses unconstitutional executive orders as only a dictator would. He steadily marches America toward nuclear war with Russia. He has been caught red-handed trading political favors for bribes from both foreign allies and adversaries. He censors Americans' speech, punishes them for their beliefs, accuses half the country of being "domestic enemies," and seizes the firearms of law-abiding citizens. He destroys the value of Americans' savings through "green" energy-induced inflation. He floods American towns with illegal aliens leaving organized crime, exotic diseases, and overdose deaths in their wake. He celebrates Antifa domestic terrorists who burn down small businesses, churches, and pregnancy clinics while threatening Americans who get in their way. And unlike President Trump — who regretfully showed restraint by not pursuing charges against Clinton, Obama, Comey, Brennan, and so many other Russia Hoax conspirators — the O'Biden White House has worked nonstop to incarcerate Trump and every other perceived political enemy.

YouTube and Facebook Censored Viktor Shokin Video Responding to Joe Biden's Lies and Details of His Dismissal. On Friday morning [8/4/2023], The Gateway Pundit published an explosive explosive video of Viktor Shokin, the Ukrainian prosecutor who was removed from office under pressure from then-U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. In the detailed and extensive interview, Shokin responded to allegations from the Biden regime, laying out his side of the story regarding the investigations into Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company that once employed Hunter. Shokin's video addressed a variety of points, from accusations that the investigation into Burisma was dormant to allegations of his corruption and his eventual removal as prosecutor. In a lengthy, detailed response, Shokin refuted the notion that his investigations were "dormant" and explained how they were active, even leading to seizures of assets from Burisma's owner, Mykola Zlochevsky.

The Ukrainian Prosecutor Joe Biden Had Fired Is Speaking Out. Former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin is speaking out and revealing his side of the story after then Vice President Joe Biden demanded he be fired back in 2016. [Tweet with video clip] At the time of his firing, Shokin was investigating corruption at Ukrainian gas company Burisma — the same company that was paying Hunter Biden $80,000 per month to sit on the board. [Video clip] During closed door testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee earlier this week, Hunter Biden's former business partner — Devon Archer — said he believed Burisma would have gone under if not for the Biden "brand" — including Joe Biden — being attached to the company. "My only thought is that I think Burisma would have gone out of business if it didn't have the brand attached to it," Archer said.

Former Ukrainian Prosecutor Viktor Shokin Responds to Biden's Corruption Accusations. An old video of Viktor Shokin, the Ukrainian prosecutor who was removed from office under pressure from then-U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, is making the rounds online again following the [scathing] testimony of Devon Archer. This video was removed on Youtube. In a detailed and extensive interview, Shokin has responded to allegations from the Biden regime, laying out his side of the story regarding the investigations into Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company that once employed Hunter. It is unclear when this video was recorded or published but includes his reaction to Biden's accusations. At the time of Hunter Biden's appointment, Viktor Shokin was Ukraine's Prosecutor General, and there were investigations into Burisma's owner.

Watching the crooks. I confess to a weakness from which we all may suffer to one degree or another in these darkest days of our nation since the War Between the States. It is the surreal attraction we feel — some may call it close to an obsession — at having to know every single criminal act of the ever-burgeoning class of traitorous vermin we learn about every day. Those of us on the right are drawn in as a moth to a flame by the sheer overwhelming putrescence of the criminal class we see before us. As I write this, in our peaceful community brushed by the Gulf Breezes from whence came its name, it is even hard for me — a very elderly [...], very jaded trial lawyer with much actual experience in dealing with people of the rotten class, to believe that our Founding Fathers risked "our Lives, our Fortunes, our sacred Honor" so that their gift to all of us could be handed over to pond scum like Joe Biden.

Devon Archer: Bidens 'Intimidated' People Not to Legally Mess with Them. The Biden brand "intimidated" people to not legally mess with the Biden family, Devon Archer told Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) during his transcribed congressional interview. Archer, who testified that Hunter Biden included then-Vice President Joe Biden on speakerphone more than 20 times with business associates to sell "the brand," also told Goldman the Bidens intimidated people into not legally probing the family's business activities.

Text messages given to FBI: Chinese wanted Biden family name to help acquire U.S. energy assets. Text messages provided to the FBI show that a Chinese energy conglomerate that struck a controversial deal in 2017 with Hunter Biden began its pursuit of a relationship with the future first family back in late 2015 when Joe Biden was still vice president, hoping to seize on the name of one of America's most famous political dynasties to provide cover for its ambitious plan to buy up energy assets inside the United States. "There will be a deal between one of the most prominent families from US and them (China) constructed by me," Hunter Biden's business partner James Gilliar texted future partner Tony Bobulinski on Christmas Eve 2015, shortly after Hunter Biden had been alerted to CEFC China Energy's overture and its wealthy leader Ye Jianming. "I think this will then be a great addition to their portfolios as it will give them a profile base in NYC, then LA, etc," Gilliar added in the text message obtained by Just the News.

Outrageous: Devon Archer was Given Full Immunity from the DOJ. The reason Devon Archer looks so relaxed during his interview with Congress is because he was given total immunity by the DOJ involving his actions with the Biden gang. This is simply outrageous. Last week we uncovered that Hunter Biden was given a sweetheart deal by his father's corrupt DOJ that would give him total immunity forever regarding his many crimes while his father was Obama's VP. It was a wink-wink deal between the DOJ and Hunter Biden.

Hunter got a Porsche after bringing Joe to dinner with a Kazakh oligarch. Hunter Biden's ex-business partner Devon Archer told Congress that Joe Biden's 'intimidating' influence directly led to his son receiving huge sums of foreign money - and a $142,300 Porsche. According to the full transcript of his testimony obtained by DailyMail.com on Thursday, Archer said that the Biden 'brand' acted as protection for Ukrainian oil company Burisma because 'people would be intimidated to mess with them.' Hunter's presence on Burisma's board and access to his father — then vice president — led to the company's 'longevity' because they had the 'capabilities to navigate D.C.,' Archer said according to the transcript.

Washington Post Gives Joe Biden 'Four Pinocchios' for Saying Hunter Never Made Money in China. The Washington Post's fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, gave President Joe Biden four Pinocchios for lying about his son Hunter Biden not making money in China. Kessler documented two instances where Biden denied his son had made money in China. In an October 22, 2020 presidential debate, Biden told moderator Kristen Welker: "My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, China. I have not had ... the only guy who made money from China is this guy [Donald Trump]. He's the only one. Nobody else has made money from China."

Hunter Biden laid out 'price of power' in texts with Devon Archer: 'you are a Biden'. First son Hunter Biden sent a series of texts to his now-former friend and business partner in 2019 defending his family's name when pressed about them not stepping in when the Obama-Biden administration's DOJ arrested him, insisting the friend was "a Biden" also and saying his legal troubles were the "price of power." Text messages reviewed by Fox News Digital show an awkward March 6, 2019 conversation between Biden and Devon Archer a little over a month before hid dad announced he was running for president in April 2019. "Why did your dad's administration appointees arrest me and try to put me in jail?" Archer asked Biden. "Just curious. Some of our partners asking out here."

Two Sets of Laws for Two Americas. Two sets of laws now operate in an increasingly unrecognizable America. Consider the matter of unlawfully removing and storing classified papers. Donald Trump may go to prison for removing contested White House files to his home. So far Joe Biden seems exempt from just such legal jeopardy. But as a senator and Vice President with no right, as does a president, to declassify files, Biden removed and, as a private citizen kept for years classified files in unsecure locations. Biden's team strangely revealed the unlawful removals after years of silence. It did so because the Biden administration found itself in the untenable position of prosecuting the former president for "crimes" that the current president committed as well — albeit far earlier and longer.

Joe Biden's deep involvement in Hunter's biz with Chinese, Russians and Ukrainians revealed. First son Hunter Biden's former business partner Devon Archer told lawmakers this week that Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings brought the political scion onto its board so that "people would be intimidated to mess with them ... legally." Archer also revealed that then-Vice President Joe Biden met twice with his son's shady post-Soviet business partners at DC's Café Milano, not once as previously reported, according to the transcript of a four-hour deposition released Thursday by the House Oversight Committee. These and other revelations blow new holes in President Biden's claim that he never discussed business with his now-53-year-old son — as House Republicans move closer to launching an impeachment inquiry.

The DOJ is Hunter Biden's Defense Team. The Hunter Biden plea deal was part of a package in which the DOJ and the FBI stonewalled Congress and are trying to send Devon Archer, Hunter's closest pal, to prison ahead of his congressional testimony in which he was scheduled to accuse Joe Biden of taking part in conversations with Hunter's business partners while serving as vice president. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer called this "obstruction of justice" and denounced "the lengths to which the Biden legal team has gone to try to intimidate our witnesses, to coordinate with the DOJ and certainly to coordinate with the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee to encourage people not to cooperate with our investigation." United States v. Biden is a farce because they're one and the same. The United States of America is currently run by Biden's dad. The relationship isn't antagonistic. Beyond ideological allegiances, a whole echelon of Justice Department personnel have bet their careers on the ascension of Democrat political candidates who then appoint transition team members whose pals are their former bosses.

Devon Archer Exposes Exactly What Hunter was Selling — Joe Biden. Devon Archer's testimony shows that Joe Biden lied to the American people time and again. He lied that he knew nothing about his son Hunter Biden's international influence peddling scheme. He lied that he never spoke to Hunter about his overseas deals. What has leaked so far about Archer's closed-door testimony is that Hunter, once his best friend and business partner, put then-Vice President Joe Biden on the speakerphone more than 20 times during meetings, and invited him to dinners with his overseas business associates. Joe was there to add value, said Archer, to "the brand" of corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma — which paid Hunter $83,000 a month while his father was VP, after which it cut his salary in half.

Defenders Of Joe Biden's Corrupt Phone Calls Sound Ridiculous. It's a little-known fact that the Bidens are keen amateur meteorologists. So much so that Hunter Biden will often call his dad out of the blue — sometimes even interrupting important business meetings in Dubai with execs of Eastern Europe energy interests — just to chit-chat about the weather. You know how it goes. Joe's love of the all-things climate, in fact, had him regularly engaging in "casual conversation" about the "niceties about the weather," congressman Daniel Goldman explained after Hunter's business partner Devon Archer reportedly testified under oath that the patriarch of the family had talked to Biden Inc. clientele at least 20 times.

Tucker Carlson Interviews Devon Archer about Hunter and Joe Biden Selling Influence to Foreign Businesses. Tucker Carlson sad down with Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer following Mr. Archer's testimony to a House Oversight Committee. The first part of that interview was broadcast by Tucker Carlson via Twitter. Within this part of the interview Tucker Carlson asks Devon Archer about the overall business model Archer and Biden formed in Burisma and what was the specific set of skills that Hunter brought to the enterprise. As noted by Mr. Archer, the relationship and purpose of Hunter Biden was entirely about access to government systems that could benefit the businesses who hired their firm. They were selling influence as a business model and Joe Biden was part of the process.

Devon Archer Reveals the 'Niceties' of Influence-Peddling. "There were niceties." That description by Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) of calls between President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and Hunter's foreign business associates may, strangely, be the most accurate thing the freshman congressman has ever said. The almost-two-dozen calls — detailed by Hunter Biden's close friend and former business partner, Devon Archer, during a closed-door interview Monday with House Oversight Committee investigators — were indeed "the niceties" of influence-peddling. The calls presumably were intended to show that Hunter Biden could deliver his father and to support what Archer called "the brand." Hunter had no relevant experience or appreciable business skills, but he had the vice president of the United States on speed-dial. The selection of Goldman as the only committee Democrat in the interview was ironic. Goldman was a Democratic staff attorney when the House impeached Donald Trump in 2019 largely on the basis of a single telephone call to the president of Ukraine. Now, however, Goldman is calling for an immediate cessation of any further investigation, in an almost comical display of denial and deflection.

The State Farm Late Night Ballot Stuffing Video Was NOT Debunked. Once again, President Trump was indicted on Tuesday — the DAY AFTER Hunter Biden's best friend and business associate Devon Archer testified that the Joe Biden was included on 20 calls when his son was sitting with foreign officials arranging influence peddling deals for the family. Archer also testified that Joe Biden met with Russia's Yelena Baturina who invested $40 million into Hunter Biden's real estate ventures. And she also paid Hunter Biden $3.5 million in consulting fees. Joe Biden later excluded Baturina from his Russian sanctions list. So what happened next? President Trump was indicted by Special Counsel Jack Smith. For those paying attention, this is not the first time this has happened. There have been at least six times now where new evidence was released implicating the Biden Crime Family and then President Trump is indicted by the Biden regime the very next day.

Biden's DOJ Charging Trump Immediately After Joe Biden Is Caught in Nefarious, Criminal Acts. Once again, President Trump was indicted on Tuesday — the DAY AFTER Hunter Biden's best friend and business associate Devon Archer testified that the Joe Biden was included on 20 calls when his son was sitting with foreign officials arranging influence peddling deals for the family. Archer also testified that Joe Biden met with Russia's Yelena Baturina who invested $40 million into Hunter Biden's real estate ventures. And she also paid Hunter Biden $3.5 million in consulting fees. Joe Biden later excluded Baturina from his Russian sanctions list. So what happened next? President Trump was indicted again today by corrupt Special Counsel Jack Smith.

On the Impeachment of Joseph R. Biden. [Scroll down] Fiduciary law holds that when a President is accused of self-dealing to serve himself and not the American people, such a President must attempt to prove himself innocent by making full disclosure of all the relevant facts to the Congress. In an impeachment inquiry, there is no presumption of innocence to protect the defendant. Impeachment is not a criminal proceeding. A president under impeachment has no due process privileges such as the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. Quite the contrary, where self-dealing is alleged, the accused has the obligation to come forward with evidence proving innocence. If he or she cannot do so, they deserve impeachment and removal from office. (This rule of law as to proving one's innocence when accused of self-dealing applies to all private trustees as well.)

Are More Hunter Biden Associates About to Blab? On Monday, Hunter Biden's longtime business partner and former friend Devon Archer testified before the House Oversight Committee in a closed-door session and reportedly revealed that Joe Biden participated in more than twenty phone calls with Hunter and his business associates and that "the Bidens were in the actual business of influence peddling." Archer's bombshell testimony proved that Joe Biden repeatedly lied when he claimed over the years he never spoke with his son about his business. In addition to revealing that Joe Biden was repeatedly participating in phone calls with Hunter Biden's business partners, Archer also revealed that in 2015 Hunter Biden and top executives of Burisma Holdings "called D.C." to get the Obama administration to pressure the Ukrainian president to fire Inspector General Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma at the time.

Hunter Biden told Devon Archer to buy a Burner Phone three days before meeting with then-VP Joe at the White House. Hunter Biden told his 'best friend' Devon Archer to get a burner phone, three days before Archer met with then-VP Joe Biden at the White House, shocking emails show. 'Buy a cell phone from a 7/11 or CVS tmrw and ill do the same,' Hunter wrote in the explosive April 13, 2014 message. Days later Archer would meet with Joe in the West Wing, White House records show, and he and Hunter would announce their board seats at allegedly corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma later that month.

Devon Archer: Joe Biden was deeply involved. As promised, Hunter Biden's former business partner at Rosemont Seneca, Devon Archer, showed up to offer closed-door testimony to the House Oversight Committee and he had plenty to say. According to James Comer, Archer identified President Joe Biden as "the brand" back when he was Vice President, and Hunter Biden sold "the brand" around the world. He told the committee about at least twenty business meetings he and Hunter held with foreign entities where The Big Guy was either on the phone or there in person. He also testified about various "favors" that these clients wanted and received from Joe Biden in exchange for paying off Hunter and company. And the list of "clients" continues to grow.

The new Democrat line: Hunter was selling an "illusion" of access. A week or two ago I wrote about the "limited hangout" strategy of dealing with a crisis. It is a strategy used by intelligence agencies that have been caught doing something illegal and/or embarrassing, made famous during the Watergate scandal. Basically, you make a small admission to hide a much larger scandal — make it seem like you are coming clean while still hiding the bigger scandal. That is the new Democrat strategy dealing with the Hunter Biden influence-peddling scandal. It is no longer possible to maintain that Joe Biden never spoke to Hunter about his business dealings nor that he did nothing to further them. The evidence is too voluminous, to the point of being irrefutable. So the Democrats don't even try anymore. [Tweet]

Secret Service Refuses to Reveal White House Cocaine Information after FOIA Request. The U.S. Secret Service has responded to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by refusing to hand over details of its investigation into the cocaine found in the White House. The FOIA request, for a list of people possibly involved in the White House cocaine incident, was filed by the Heritage Foundation. The Secret Service rejected the request by claiming that such records are outside its authority.

Are The DOJ And Hunter Biden Attempting To Commit Fraud In Federal Court? One sentence — 13 words — out of the thousands spoken last Wednesday over the course of the three hours that federal prosecutors, defense attorneys, Hunter Biden, and Judge Maryellen Noreika discussed the president's son's plea agreement suggests the Department of Justice and Hunter Biden are attempting to commit fraud on a federal court. On Wednesday, Hunter Biden appeared before a federal court in Delaware prepared to enter a guilty plea on two misdemeanor tax counts. The hearing, however, did not go as planned when Judge Noreika, rather than rubberstamping the sweetheart deal the Biden administration had entered into with the president's son, quizzed the attorneys and Hunter Biden on the terms of the agreement and their respective understanding of the government's promise not to further prosecute Hunter.

Joe Biden's perfect phone calls. President Joe Biden spoke multiple times on the telephone to his son's business associates, a former Hunter Biden business partner told a House panel. This was said to have occurred when the younger Biden was affiliated with a Ukrainian energy company and his father was vice president and an Obama administration point man on Ukraine. One congressional Democrat who heard the testimony more or less confirmed the particulars but said this was nothing untoward. The elder Biden didn't talk business, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) assured reporters on Monday [7/31/2023]. Instead, Joe Biden engaged in "casual conversation, niceties, the weather, what's going on" when his son put him on speakerphone for his friends and business partners. Approximately 20 perfect phone calls.

Devon Archer Testifies Joe Biden Met with Moscow Mayor's Wife in Georgetown. Karine Jean-Pierre refused to say why Biden didn't sanction Russian billionaire Elena Baturina — nor if Biden met with her at a Georgetown restaurant in 2015 while he was Vice President. Today Hunter Biden's best friend and business associate, Devon Archer, testified that Joe Biden met with Russia's Yelena Baturina who later invested into $40 million into Hunter Biden's real estate ventures. And she also paid Hunter Biden $3.5 million in consulting fees. Yelena Baturina, the billionaire widow of a corrupt Moscow mayor, was left off of Biden's Sanctions list.

Devon Archer Testifies Burisma Holdings Would Have Gone Under Without Joe Biden. Hunter Biden's best friend in business, Devon Archer, told House investigators that Burisma Holdings would have gone out of business if it were not for the so-called Biden brand, which Joe Biden promoted on phone calls with Burisma executives. In 2014 Archer and Hunter Biden both joined the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company with legal challenges, as it was under investigation for wrongdoing. Burisma paid Hunter Biden $83,000 a month to sit on its board. Archer testified that in December 2015, co-founder of Burisma Mykola Zlochevsky and Vadym Pozharski, an executive of Burisma, put pressure on Hunter Biden to get help from Washington, DC, regarding the Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma for corruption.

Evidence Of Biden Burisma Corruption Is Overwhelming. A key associate of Hunter Biden reluctantly admitted details about how the Biden family business was run — and those details are shocking. Devon Archer, a longtime business partner and close friend of Hunter Biden's, told congressional investigators Monday that at a meeting in Dubai on Dec. 4, 2015, top executives of Ukrainian energy concern Burisma asked Hunter Biden and himself for help from D.C. At the time of the meeting, Hunter Biden's dad, Joe Biden, was serving as Barack Obama's vice president as well as his point person on Ukraine. Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, and Vadym Pozharski, a Burisma executive, wanted to get Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired as he was investigating the company for corruption, Archer told members of Congress.

Hunter's Business Partner Contradicts President's Claim of No Business Involvement. Then-Vice President Joe Biden communicated more than 20 times, either in person or on speakerphone, with Hunter Biden's business associates, Devon Archer told a House committee on Monday. Archer was the business partner of the son of the current president and testified to the House Oversight and Accountability Committee behind closed doors. Archer said the then-vice president brought the most value to "the brand," particularly in a deal with Ukranian energy firm Burisma, where Hunter Biden was a board member, according to the committee, which released a series of tweets after the testimony.

Government Corruption Helps the Bidens and Hurts Trump. The Hunter Biden saga has revealed a lot about the Deep State and how it protects its allies. First, 51 intelligence officials came together to suppress the N.Y. Post report on Hunter's laptop on the eve of the 2020 election, suggesting it was some kind of Russian disinformation. This claim could not be easily reconciled with the hundreds of personal photos and text messages on the laptop. So, as Plan B, Biden's defenders dismissed concerns over Hunter's laptop as partisan and prurient, the second iteration of the Clinton sex scandals, with the GOP again cast as a bunch of censorious prudes. In other words, the selective release of salacious material from the laptop was part of the coverup. While it did reveal Hunter's low character, the shocking photos tended to eclipse the more important evidence that he acted as the bag man for illegal family business in Ukraine and China. Remember "10% for the Big Guy" and "My Chairman."

Hunter Biden told judge under oath that he was a member of the Connecticut bar in good standing, but he was Suspended two years ago. Hunter Biden has been caught misleading a judge while under oath about his status as a practicing lawyer. At his disastrous plea hearing last week, Delaware district judge Maryellen Noreika asked Hunter where he was eligible to practice law. 'You're member of the bar?' she said. 'Yes, your Honor,' he replied. 'District of Columbia and Connecticut, your Honor.' But Connecticut records show Hunter, 53, was suspended from practicing law in Connecticut more than two years ago. A Judicial Branch spokeswoman said he is 'currently not in good standing' after failing to pay his $75 annual fees since 2018.

It's Year 5 of the Biden Crime Family Coverup. Streaming giant Netflix is once again pushing radical transgender identity politics among children with a new series, Survival of the Thickest, where the fashion designer hero of the series helps "trans" high school kids host an "alternate prom." The series, starring Michelle Buteau as Mavis, pushes drag queens on kids and relentlessly promotes woke, intersectional narratives. Buteau recently appeared on The View to bash Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for his state education policies, Newsbusters reported.

I thought this was widely presumed at least two years ago.
It Looks Like Hunter Biden's Laptop Could Indeed Implicate His Father. President Joe Biden could indeed be implicated by what was found on Hunter Biden's laptop, sources close to the first son are telling the New York Post. [...] Much of the report is a recap on the sordid details found on Hunter's abandoned laptop. There's also details about the Burisma business ties, as well as mention of Hunter's former best friend, Devon Archer, who is to testify before the House Oversight Committee, and who is particularly of interest since he would have those files that investigators cannot retrieve.

Biden's Executive Mansion Debauchery. Joe Biden hasn't exactly lived up to his promise to bring "honor and decency to the White House." The most recent embarrassment at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was, of course, the cocaine scandal that came to an anti-climactic resolution earlier this month when the Secret Service announced that they were "not able" to "single out a person of interest" due to lack of evidence. But that explanation only added to the humiliation for Joe Biden — after all, what kind of White House is he running when someone can sneak an illegal narcotic in and not get caught? The incident also raised a number of uncomfortable questions for the president given that his son Hunter is a known drug addict. Last month, Hunter was the subject of another awkward White House episode when the scandal-ridden First Son was spotted at a state dinner held in honor of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

5 People Referenced Joe Biden as the 'Big Guy'. Overwhelming evidence suggests the "big guy" is a monicker that represents President Joe Biden. The monicker appears in an FBI informant form, text messages, and emails between Biden business associates. It also reportedly formed a part of the grand jury investigation into Hunter Biden, which IRS whistleblowers claim was politically influenced to protect the Bidens. When questioned if he is the identity behind the monicker, Joe Biden snapped: "Why do you ask such a dumb question?" At least five individuals involved in the family business referenced Joe Biden as the 'big guy."

Four Things the Leftists Hope You Missed This Week. [#4] Immediately prior to the hoopla of Hunter Biden's plea deal imploding, some serious skullduggery was taking place. U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika was not pleased after a lawyer who works for the same law firm that represents Hunter Biden called the court clerk in Delaware and, pretending to work for the prosecutor, asked for some evidence to be kept confidential. Attorney Jessica Bengals allegedly misrepresented who she works for when contacting the court — and it could cost her. [...] If true, this malfeasance could and should leave some serious ripples on the pond. But when the U.S. population seems not to care that the world's richest pedophile somehow killed himself while the guards were asleep, the cameras were broken, and his cellmate was magically elsewhere, it's easy to see how nothing might come of this, and the public will be okay with it.

Hunter Biden investigation: Why the Devon Archer testimony is so important. When Devon Archer sits down on Monday with the House Oversight Committee, the Hunter Biden investigation could enter a new and more significant phase. That's because Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden's and a former friend to the family, is expected to testify about the extent of President Joe Biden's involvement in his son's foreign business dealings, potentially roping the president more deeply into a scandal he has thus far studiously avoided. Archer will be the closest business associate of Hunter Biden's to speak with Congress to date. The two served together on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, and handled a range of other business deals together through Rosemont Seneca, their investment firm.

They're backpedaling.
DOJ Forced to Clarify Letter on Archer's Jail Time Just Before Meeting With House Oversight. The New York Post's Miranda Devine tweeted out an update on early Monday morning [7/31/2023], in the form of a letter from the Southern District of New York (SDNY) making clear that they don't expect Archer to surrender before his Monday testimony before the House Oversight Committee. Writing to U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams noted that "[t]o be clear, the Government does not request (and has never requested) that the defendant surrender before his Congressional testimony." The letter also added that the process involved "can take several weeks or months after the Court sets a surrender date."

Biden Impeachment Inquiry Is Well-Earned. When House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) suggested that mounting questions concerning the fishy financial history of President Biden and his family may lead to an impeachment inquiry, some Republicans got the vapors. Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), for example, said it would send the "wrong message." Reps. David Joyce (R-Ohio) and Tom Cole (R-Okla.) voiced similarly craven qualms. An inquiry may well uncover evidence supporting claims made in an FBI document, recently released by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), that Biden accepted bribes while Vice President. If so, it is the duty of House Republicans to impeach him. [...] Biden routinely ignores pesky laws passed by the former and publicly excoriates the latter when rulings displease him. The primary constitutional mechanism available to Congress for controlling a lawless president is impeachment. If the House refuses to use that tool, it is equally guilty of flouting the Constitution.

Timeline of Feds' Relationship with Biden Family Business. Law enforcement had knowledge of the Biden family business and alleged wronging for years before the FBI obtained Hunter Biden's laptop. Despite the warnings of whistleblowers and lawmakers, government agencies appeared uninterested in pursuing any suspicious evidence. Even years later, government agencies appear uninspired by the mounting evidence. [Laptop timeline]

The Biden Presidency Is Unsustainable. The presence of the now predictable mediocrity of Kamala Harris and the impossibility, given her race and gender, of removing her, for now is about all that keeps a cognitively declining Biden still in office. The Left fears what she could do as president to the Democratic Party; conservatives are terrified of what she could do to the country. Joe Biden's bewilderment exempts his embarrassments from accountability in the way that Hunter Biden's addictions excuse his past serial criminality. But the passes granted to both father and son would be now unsustainable with a viable Vice President in waiting.

Five Questions Republicans Could Ask Hunter Biden's Business Partner Under Oath. As Hunter Biden's former business associate is deposed by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, committee investigators could ask him questions to determine President Joe Biden's involvement in Hunter's foreign dealings. Devon Archer is a former friend and business partner of Hunter Biden — currently the subject of several federal investigations by both Congress and the Department of Justice — and will be deposed by the committee on Monday [7/31/2023]. In 2022, he was convicted of defrauding the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation, a Native American tribe, of over $60 million in fraudulent bond issuances. Archer, who served with Hunter on the board of Burisma Holdings and was described by him as his "best friend in business" according to National Review, is in a position to answer important questions about Joe Biden's alleged participation and benefits from Hunter's business dealings in which he used his father's political influence.

DOJ Reportedly Working Overtime To Send Key Hunter Biden Witness To Prison. House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer called the Department of Justice's (DOJ) attempt to jail a key Hunter Biden witness before he can testify before Congress "odd" while on Fox Business. The New York Post's (NYP) Miranda Devine reported Sunday [7/30/2023] the DOJ is allegedly trying to schedule a date for Devon Archer to turn himself in and begin his prison sentence. Politico confirmed this, reporting that the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York wrote to trial judge Ronnie Abras and asked her to schedule a date for Archer to report to prison. Archer was convicted in 2018 for conspiracy to defraud a Native American tribe but his sentencing has been delayed due to appeals.

Biden sits on Delaware beach as DOJ tries to Jail Hunter's best friend Devon Archer. President Joe Biden was seen whiling away the afternoon on the beach as his DOJ tried to jail Hunter's best friend on the eve of a closed-door testimony in which the president will be implicated in his son's foreign business schemes. Biden appeared the picture of calm on Rehoboth Beach in Delaware just a day before Hunter Biden's best friend Devon Archer plans to implicate Joe in his son's foreign business schemes on Monday. Archer is expected to provide details that will challenge the White House's insistence that Joe Biden never had any knowledge of or involvement in his wayward son's business affairs.

Hunter Biden Laptop Analysis: May Have Stored More Sensitive Info on Encrypted Messaging Apps. Given all the things on the infamous laptop — from the drugs to the sex to the alleged influence peddling — you wouldn't think that there could be anything else that one might discover at this point. But the non-profit group Marco Polo, which has a site with all the laptop photos and video, has discovered something new after an analysis of the hard drive — that Hunter Biden used at least 16 private messaging apps, many of which were encrypted, which could have had even more sensitive communications if what was on the open drive wasn't already shocking enough. Among the apps were Signal, the Chinese messaging app WeChat, and Wickr, an app termed as "favored in the criminal underworld" and liked by the U.S. military.

Hunter Biden's laptop full of secret agreements and contracts with foreign business partners. Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop is filled with contracts and agreements between him and foreign business partners that could shine new light on his business dealings, and potentially implicate his father, insiders around the first son told The [New York]Post. Hundreds of documents are littered among the tens of thousands of emails contained on the laptop — but the files were not downloaded onto the device, and investigators cannot open most of them. During his father's vice presidency and after, Hunter Biden and his family made millions of dollars from foreign sources trading on the family name, according to whistleblowers and bank records unearthed by the House Oversight Committee. Through much of the wheeling and dealing — Hunter Biden was a crack addict and alcoholic.

Perhaps they will put him in one of those Jeffrey Epstein cells where the cameras don't work.
Corrupt DOJ Requests Court to Order Devon Archer's Surrender for Imprisonment Prior to Testimony on Biden Crime Family. In an unprecedented move, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a letter to a federal judge in the Southern District of New York, suggesting that Devon Archer, a business associate of Hunter Biden, be ordered to surrender and begin his term of imprisonment. This development comes amidst Archer's ongoing appeal and just before his scheduled testimony about the criminal activities involving the Biden crime family. The letter requests that the court set a date and time for Archer to report to a facility chosen by the Bureau of Prisons.

Dershowitz: Prosecutors Gave Hunter a Deal 'For Nothing,' on 'Open and Shut' Case, Which Never Happens. On Friday's broadcast of Newsmax TV's "The Record," Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz stated that the proposed Hunter Biden plea deal was "the opposite" of how plea deals usually work because it actually sent a message that "we don't want to hear from you. We don't want you to testify. We don't want you to get other people in trouble." And was done on "open and shut" charges.

The Real Story of the Biden Family Business, and the DOJ Cover-up. The Biden administration has repeatedly told the public that Hunter's lucrative consulting business doesn't matter unless it is directly connected to his father. That's true. Moreover, they add, that connection is not just unproven, it cannot be proved because it didn't exist. That's false, although the mainstream media has repeated it faithfully. But even the most feckless are finding it increasingly difficult to sustain this awkward lip-syncing with the White House press office. Actually, the Biden grifting operation extends well beyond Hunter to include multiple family members. It always centered on Joe's public position and the political access it ensured, first as the sitting vice president and then as a prospective Democratic nominee after Hillary Clinton's defeat. The clearest indication of the enterprise's corrupt purpose is its construction of an opaque web of nearly thirty LLCs to hide the distribution of profits from the operation. There is no legitimate business purpose for this tangled web of pass-through entities.

Multiple Banks Filed Over 170 Suspicious Activity Reports on the Bidens. As the evidence for at least an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden keeps pouring in, our friends at Twitchy highlighted another example: the suspicious activity reports (SARs) from six banks, to the tune of 170, in fact. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and co-host Ben Ferguson discussed these reports on their podcast with House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) as their guest. Not only has Comer been looking into the Biden family as part of fulfilling promises to the American people, he already is familiar with SARs, since, as he told Cruz, he was the director of a bank. These SARs are submitted and sent to the Treasury Department when banks "have a strong suspicion" that a crime has been committed, so as to protect the bank. As Comer emphasized, these are submitted "very seldom." If someone were to have two, the chairman explained, it would be hard for that person to open up a bank account. Submitting an SAR, Comer added, also is "inviting the regulators to come in and regulate," which is the last thing banks want. The 170 reports are thus quite significant.

Turley Explains Why Congress Is Obligated to Launch Impeachment Inquiry. Yes, we should be different from the Democrats who used impeachment as a political tool to try to take out their political rival and cheapened the process. They didn't care about the Constitution or the corrosive effect such moves would have — all they cared about was their power. Yet, we also shouldn't be fearful of stepping up to take it on when justice and the evidence demand it, as it does here. Because that's also important to protect the rule of law. We've seen for years now the two-tier system of justice and that is problematic for the stability of the Republic. People need and have a right to expect equal application of the law. George Washington University law school professor Jonathan Turley has now added his name to the list of the folks that Congress is now obligated to launch an impeachment inquiry, given Biden "clearly lied" about his involvement in the Biden family foreign business dealings scandal.

Watergate vs. Bidengate. [Scroll down] In Biden's case, the scandal is not especially political, but instead that of a quest for profit. He has been caught selling influence — and often not in the best interest of the United States. Wrapped into this burrito is the Department of Justice and other government minions, who've gone to great lengths to keep this business out of the news. Trump's presidency exposed the myth of government being politically neutral. "Official" conspiracies abound in order to influence public opinion — and further evidence of this keeps emerging. As this is being written, the news is totally abuzz over judge Noreika's refusal to accept Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal. Now, since Hunter's plea has been changed to not guilty, we may possibly be treated to the embarrassing spectacle of a public trial — but don't hold your breath. More likely, the DoJ conspirators and Hunter's defense team will work out a more acceptable plea that won't gag the judge.

Recap of Hunter's courtroom fiasco:
DOJ's Dirty Deeds. Ferried to the courthouse by a substantial (obviously taxpayer paid) motorcade, Hunter appeared chipper, obviously believing that his very significant tax avoidance and FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) violations were going to be wiped off the prosecution table if he pled guilty to two misdemeanor charges for unrelated offenses. The tables quickly turned. It was alleged that counsel for the defense had misled the court clerk into believing she was acting for the government in requesting the amicus brief filed by House ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith be removed from the docket. Upon learning of the impersonation deception, the Judge threatened sanctions against Hunter's team. [...] The case went downhill after that when it appeared the government and defense counsel had tried to pull the wool over her eyes about the full extent of the plea deal. The plea on its face seemed to recommend probation after Hunter admitted guilt on two misdemeanor charges that he failed to pay over $100,000 in taxes on income earned in 2017 and 2018 and would avoid consequences for a felony gun charge. The devil was in the details: A side pretrial diversion agreement, the most important portion of which (paragraph 15) had just been handed to the judge before she entered the courtroom.

Joe and Jill Biden finally acknowledge 7th grandchild for the most obnoxious reason. For her entire life, four-year-old Navy Joan Roberts has been "she who must not be named." There is no evidence that her father has ever visited her, let alone held her. Her grandparents repeatedly denied her existence and said that they had only "four granddaughters." They even gave their dogs stockings at Christmas rather than Navy, who never even bit one let alone a score of Secret Service agents. As even Democrats began to voice their own shock at the cruelty of the First Couple shunning this child, the Bidens finally relented and recognized her existence, but only barely so.

Why would Biden need to pardon his son, the smartest person Joe knows? He has the corrupt Justice Department and IRS doing it for him with the support of the sycophant media. They have run a sham, pretending to investigate for years, just like they pretended to investigate Hillary before James Comey listed all her crimes and waived them. After years where they saw many felonies on taxes and the gun possession, they came up with a scheme to charge him with a couple minor tax misdemeanors, "divert" the gun charges if he kept his nose clean for a few years, and grant immunity on the a broad range of potential felonies. And who would determine if he behaved? The powerful DOJ bureaucrats who came up with this farce of a charge in the first place.

Here's Where Biden Is Headed for the Next Ten Days As Family Scandals Swirl. According to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, "this evening, the president will depart Maine en route to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where he will remain over the next week." According to Delaware media reports, Biden is expected to be at his beach house until August 6. [Tweet] How nice for him to have 10 days of beach time away from Washington — which would be Biden's longest stay in Rehoboth since becoming president. But didn't Biden just get back from a beach vacation earlier this month? Why yes, he did.

Joe Biden to Retreat to Rehoboth Beach Compound for the Next Ten Days. Joe Biden will retreat to his Rehoboth Beach compound in Delaware for the next 10 days while his corrupt DOJ works to jail Trump. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters about feeble Joe's plans to hide in Rehoboth Beach during a gaggle aboard Air Force One on Friday. "This evening the president will depart Maine en route to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware where he will remain over the next week," Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters.

This is the behavior you'd expect from Manuel Noriega or Fidel Castro.
Whistleblower: Biden Crime Family — Possibly Joe Biden Himself — Are Hiding Money in Offshore Bank Accounts. The Biden Crime Family — and possibly Joe Biden himself — are hiding money in offshore bank accounts. Fox News host Jesse Watters reported IRS whistleblowers have documents suggesting the Biden Crime Family has offshore bank accounts. "With Joe [Biden], I suspect there are offshore accounts," House Oversight Chairman James Comer said on Thursday. James Comer also revealed that six major banks, including JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, had submitted over 170 suspicious activity reports (SARs) to the Treasury Department, all concerning alleged criminal behavior by the Biden crime family.

Why Those 170 Biden Suspicious Activity Reports Are So Bad. The House Oversight Committee is accumulating a lot of evidence regarding Joe Biden and the Biden family's foreign business dealings scandal. On Thursday, Chairman James Comer revealed that the IRS whistleblowers were indicating they had evidence of offshore accounts that could be related to Joe Biden. If they have the records of those accounts and can link Joe Biden to foreign payments, that may be the smoking gun right there if the Republicans get around to an impeachment trial. Our friends at Townhall pointed out how Comer laid out more information about the 170 "Suspicious Activity Reports" and how significant it was that there were 170 of them about the Bidens.

Biden Forgets to Sign Executive Order After Delivering Remarks. President Joe Biden forgot to sign an executive order as "The Washington Post March" was playing him out after he delivered remarks on "Bidenomics" in Auburn, Maine, on Friday. "God bless you all, and may God protect our troops. Thank you very much," Biden concluded before going to shake hands. After a few moments, Biden made his way away from the crowd and said, "I'm coming back to shake your hands, but I forgot to sign the order. All that talk and no action."

Judge Noreika Doesn't Seem to Be Buying Hunter Biden's Excuses, Bans His Lawyers From Contacting Clerk. U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, who is handling Hunter Biden's currently defunct plea deal, doesn't seem too pleased. And why would she be? On Wednesday, she was presented with an absolute circus after the DOJ tried to pass off an unprecedented agreement whereby Hunter Biden would receive near global immunity. Instead of putting that in the plea deal itself, it was buried in a pre-trial diversion agreement for a gun charge. After pressing the two sides, it became clear that a wink-and-nod deal had been formulated whereby the immunity would stand, but wouldn't be made public as part of the plea. In other words, the DOJ was ready to let Hunter Biden off the hook completely despite mounting evidence he violated FARA regulations. Things only blew up when Judge Noreika demanded answers, causing Hunter Biden's lawyers to refuse a watered-down deal that would remove the broad immunity.

Congratulations to Joe Biden on today's birth of his four-year-old granddaughter! President Biden has a son, of sorts. This son has some, um, issues. One of the son's issues is his issuance, a daughter he fathered with a woman he says he's never met. The result was the woman's birth of a little girl she named Navy. The son denied that he was little Navy's father. But paternity tests showed he was. He continued to deny his paternity. But there are lots of things he denies which are indisputably true. So does his father. President Joe refused to acknowledge that Navy is his granddaughter, even after the paternity tests proved she was. As recently as a week or two ago, he specifically instructed the White House staff to deny that she was his granddaughter. He instructed his staff to lie for him, because it was convenient and he thought he could get away with it.

Protecting the Bidens. Ordinarily, the provisions of a plea agreement are in the four corners of the plea agreement. Ordinarily, they are quite standard. Ordinarily, they are set out in crystal-clear terms. Ordinarily, they don't undercut what is supposed to be an investigation into more serious matters. But everything about this was different because, ordinarily, the Department of Justice isn't acting to protect the president of the United States from a politically sensitive investigation into his son's corrupt business dealings. DOJ tucked provisions giving Hunter Biden sweeping immunity from future prosecution in a so-called diversion agreement related to his gun offense. To review, Biden is pleading guilty to two minor tax charges arising from the cascade of sleazy foreign money that poured into his accounts and was distributed to other family members. He isn't pleading guilty to the gun charge, instead simply agreeing to a couple of years of probation to get off the hook. Any immunity term should have been in the plea deal but instead was in the diversion agreement, where it wouldn't be expected.

Door may be open to impeaching Biden for misdeeds committed prior to presidency: legal experts. House Republicans have floated launching an impeachment inquiry against President Biden amid newly surfaced allegations that suggest his involvement in the business dealings his son, Hunter. But can congressional lawmakers initiate the use of that constitutional tool for alleged treason, bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors that transpired before holding the office of the presidency? "The answer is clear," Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Fox News Digital. "No one knows." Article II, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution states: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." But it doesn't specify whether those alleged actions need to take place during the time the official holds the office.

The Editor says...
Most or all of the current bribery accusations against the Bidens are connected to things he did when he was vide-president. I'm no lawyer, but common sense would tell you that the end of his term as vice-president does not erase any guilt.

Biden: Hiding in Plain Sight. [U]nlike the Clintons, Biden had little to show financially from his long career in politics when he departed the vice-presidential residence. According to detailed information, Joe and Jill Biden declared a total of $4,122,376 in pretax income on their federal tax returns for tax years 2001 through 2016 — this works out to an average of $257,648 annually during the sixteen-year period when he finished his career as senator and, later, became vice president. Leaving aside, for the moment, fair questions concerning how Biden managed to sustain living costs for his large family from his home in Wilmington and also save for retirement, his years with educator Jill Biden do not appear to show proven ability to derive investment income, or garner outsized compensation. [...] Joe and Jill Biden saw their pretax income climb from $338,464 in 2016 to a whopping $9,578,639 in 2017 — an amount that was more than 28 times Biden pretax income for the prior year and more than twice, in just one year, total Biden pretax income for a 16 year period from 2001 through 2016. What accounted for this enormous Biden family windfall in a single year, when even the top 10% of American households suffered pronounced declines in their pretax incomes?

They are rubbing our noses in their filth. This regime has no shame. Those stories about the discovery of a bag of cocaine in the White House were not an accidental leak of the truth. The leak was psyops meant to destroy the morale of their enemy, which is the American people. The discovery was meant to show that Biden and his crooks will do anything they want and get away with it, and they do. Law enforcement did nothing — and what will Republicans do about it? Cry? Biden's crew ignores congressional subpoenas without consequence, just as Eric Holder did when he was Obama's AG. In January, Speaker McCarthy promised to make the videos of the January 6 protest public. Six months later, the videos remain under lock and key — right next to Epstein's client list. We can guess at some of the names on the list just by looking at the celebrities who hit Trump hardest. The deep state is better at blackmail than the Mafia.

Hunter Biden: Was He A Foreign Agent and For What Purpose? [Quoting Jonathan Turley:] I mean, the problem with this agreement is that the judge read it and said what is this? And part of the obligation of the court is to make sure that the defendant and the government are very clear on what the agreement means. And they weren't. And it broke down with the most basic questions. That was what was so surprising here is that these are the types of questions as a defense counsel you work out with prosecutors in advance. But she basically asked one question and the whole [...] thing fell apart.

Biden's Smirks and Changing Stories Reveal His Utter Disdain for the American People. From Joe Biden to his buffoonish press secretaries (past and present) to members of the administration, the obfuscations, changing stories, denials, and yes, bald-faced lies about the Biden Family Business scandal combine as an arrogant affront to rational Americans — and it only gets worse by the day. When reports first began to surface about Hunter Biden's nefarious overseas business dealings, Joe Biden continually made two mutually exclusive statements. First, he claimed he and his crackhead son never discussed the latter's business dealings. Second, and simultaneously, he arrogantly claimed Hunter never did anything wrong, much less illegal. Spoiler, Joe: The first claim makes the second impossible — and vice versa.

Official Court Transcript From Hunter's Foiled Plea Agreement Hearing Sure Seems to Show Attempted Fraud on the Court. I've been reading the official transcript of Hunter Biden's hearing today (110 pgs) and not all the way through but something that strikes me so far: US Atty Weiss' office was really trying to game the system [because] they hid the agreement to not charge various things related to the tax case in the Diversion Agreement, which covers the gun charges, instead of in the Memorandum of Plea [because] that changes the TYPE of plea it is under the FRCP and the role of the judge. The judge and her staff could not find another case in which a plea agreement was done that way.

Hunter Biden Admits in Court He Made $664K from CEFC China Energy, Contradicting Joe Biden's Claims. Hunter Biden's lawyer, Chris Clark, admitted in court Wednesday the president's son received $664,000 from CEFC China Energy Co. in 2017, contradicting President Joe Biden's claim Hunter Biden never received money from a Chinese entity. During a hearing before U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika, Clark revealed Hunter made over one million dollars in foreign business transactions, including $664,000 from CEFC, a company linked to the CCP and Chinese intelligence.

Jill Biden's Ex-Husband Says 'Very Dangerous' Biden 'Crime Family' Has Targeted Him. Bill Stevenson, the ex-husband of first lady Jill Biden, said Wednesday on Newsmax that he has been a target of the "very dangerous ... Biden crime family." Stevenson discussed his divorce from the first lady, alleging that he was the victim of a shakedown by the Biden family. "Frankie Biden of the Biden crime family comes up to me and he goes, 'Give her the house or you're going to have serious problems.' I looked at Frankie and I said, 'Are you threatening me?' and needless to say, about two months later, my brother and I were indicted for that tax charge for $8,200."

Maureen Dowd can't seem to figure out who the liar-in-chief is. Joe Biden has lied continuously throughout his Washington career. He lies about big and little things. Here is a small sample: He lied about his college rank and grades at law school. He plagiarized a speech as he ran for president in 1988. The media chased him from that race. He continues to lie about what Trump said in Charlottesville to gin up racial hate and division. He lied when he said that Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation during a debate with Trump. ([H]e clearly knew the truth[.]) He continues to lie that no one in his family ever made money from foreign sources and that he never talked to Hunter or anyone in his family about their business dealings. He continues to lie that he inherited a bad economy. The economy was growing rapidly when he took office. He lied that there were no vaccines available when he took office. He lied that inflation was caused by Russia and the supply chain when inflation took off as soon as he forced his radically destructive government spending on the American people. He lied that the border was under control. And he continues to lie that his policies cut the deficit in half.

Legal Experts Are Pointing To Another Fishy Aspect Of Hunter Biden's Proposed Plea Deal. Legal experts said Thursday that the statement of facts included in Hunter Biden's proposed plea deal favored the defense as, due to the terms of the Department of Justice's agreement with Biden, it would have immunized him from prosecution for a number of offenses. The statement of facts section of the plea deal appeared heavily skewed towards the defense, encompassing a wide range of activity that could have shielded Biden from future charges under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), legal experts said. That's because the diversion agreement allowing Hunter Biden to avoid jail time for a felony gun charge — a separate document from the plea deal for the two misdemeanor tax charges — included a paragraph affirming the United States would not prosecute the president's son for any crime "encompassed by the attached Statement of Facts" in both the diversion agreement and the plea deal.

The political pressure on Biden family corruption is working — keep it up. One of President Joe Biden's biggest political headaches, the many illegal activities of his son Hunter Biden, was supposed to pass quietly into obscurity July 26 when a federal judge was expected to rubber-stamp a plea agreement between the Department of Justice and the accused. But thanks in no small part to the efforts of House Republicans to raise the profile of Hunter Biden's wrongdoing, Judge Maryellen Noreika refused to accept the deal, sending the DOJ and Hunter Biden's lawyers back to the bargaining table to come up with an agreement that stood a better chance than their original flimsy document of withstanding public scrutiny.

Hunter Biden remains 'good standing' member of DC Bar despite facing criminal charges. Hunter Biden continues to be a "good standing" member of the Washington, D.C. Bar despite facing multiple criminal charges and violating the organization's rules of professional conduct. First reported by the Daily Caller, Biden told the judge during his first appearance in a Wilmington, Delaware federal court, in which his expected plea deal ultimately collapsed, that he was a member of the D.C. and Connecticut Bars. According to the D.C. Bar website, Biden remains a member in "good standing," despite the rules of professional conduct stating that it is misconduct for a lawyer to "commit a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects."

Bidens Wanted Billions, Not Millions, From Burisma. The allegations by the FBI informant describes Mykola Zlochevsky, Burisma's co-founder and a former minister in the ousted pro-Russian Yanukovych government, saying that "it costs 5 (million) to pay one Biden, and 5 (million) to another Biden". And yet the rewards could have been even richer. While the informant urged Zlochevsky to launch his IPO by forming an American company or buying a shell company, Hunter Biden had allegedly told the energy boss that his company "could raise much more capital if Burisma purchased a larger US-based business that already had a history In the US oil and gas sector." Allegedly some Texas companies were on the table. Why did Hunter Biden allegedly pitch Burisma on a messier and more expensive process? An obvious potential answer is that the Biden family may have hoped to cash in by being on the inside.

The art scam is probably going to explode. Earlier this week, we looked at the ongoing scam where First Son Hunter Biden has been cranking out paintings as supposed "works of art" and selling them to mysterious benefactors for staggering sums of money. Since the private sale of artwork doesn't legally have to be reported to the public, it's an almost foolproof way to move large sums of money around while having it be nearly untraceable. That got me thinking about other areas where this scam could be employed to circumvent various financial transparency laws. And campaign finance regulations were among the first possibilities to come to mind, which is what I wanted to bring up for discussion today. But first, here's a reminder of precisely how lucrative this has been for The Big Guy's errant son.

Rep. James Comer says banks submitted more than 170 suspicious activity reports on the Bidens. After Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced that the Biden investigation was nearing the level of an impeachment inquiry, Democrats rushed to CNN and MSNBC to assure them that there was "zero evidence" that President Joe Biden had done anything wrong. OK, so his son was going to plead guilty to tax fraud and felony gun possession, but none of that involved his father. As Karine Jean-Pierre said, President Biden was never in business with his son (we guess keeping 10 percent for "the big guy" doesn't count).

Mr. Speaker! Evidence in public shows the sitting president of the United States took payments from foreign business interests in a scheme to use the power of the U.S. government to influence foreign government policy and protect/enhance the business interests of the people who paid him. To wit: The Republicans in the House of Representatives have thousands of Joe and Hunter Biden bank records, hundreds of trace records for wire transfer statements and payments, hundreds of reported U.S. Treasury suspicious activity reports, thousands of emails and subpoenaed text messages, audio and video recordings, thousands of photographs, access to the laptop of Hunter Biden and all the content therein, documented witnesses to the activity, testimony under oath corroborating how the Bidens collected tens of millions from foreign nations as unregistered foreign agents which was subsequently laundered through 20 shell companies. [...] Additionally, the Republicans in Congress have sworn affidavits and testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who testified the US attorney in Delaware was working with the U.S. Dept of Justice in Washington DC to bury the results of the investigation.

Secret Service Refuses to Hand Over 'Known Pool of Individuals' List in White House Cocaine Incident. The Secret Service has refused to turn over the list of individuals who may have accessed the area of the White House where authorities discovered cocaine over the Fourth of July weekend, saying that the record of such a list does not fall under the Freedom of Information Act. This suggests that the Secret Service never created such a list in the first place. "As your request seeks records reflecting visitors or related information concerning the Office of the President, please be advised that these records are not Secret Service agency records subject to the FOIA," Kevin Tyrrell, a Freedom of Information Act officer at the Department of Homeland Security, wrote in a letter obtained by The Daily Signal. "Rather, these records are governed by the Presidential Records Act, and remain under the exclusive legal custody and control of the White House."

The Collapse of Hunter Biden's Sweetheart Plea Deal. There were clearly some bizarre twists and turns in federal court Wednesday in Delaware, as Hunter Biden's anticipated sweetheart plea deal collapsed. So, what happened? That is hard to say for sure, as a transcript of the colloquy between the lawyers and the judge has not been released. Basically, it seems that there was a misunderstanding between the prosecutors and the Biden legal team about whether the plea deal was going to end Hunter's potential legal exposure to other crimes, or whether there was still an ongoing investigation. It seems that Biden's legal team believed the former, while the Delaware U.S. Attorney's Office believed the latter. While it is not uncommon for plea deals to fall apart, one would think such a high-profile deal, in writing, would have been ironclad before the parties stepped into court today. Apparently not.

It doesn't matter if you have a timeline, a big box of documents, wiretaps, fingerprints, or witnesses.
Will Republicans Impeach Biden? Here's The Full Corruption Timeline. House Republicans are moving closer to an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden, according to Speaker Kevin McCarthy as party leaders continue to investigate allegations that the president accepted millions of dollars in bribes from foreign entities, including individuals linked to the Chinese Communist Party. With the investigation into the alleged corruption of the Biden family — primarily Biden and his son Hunter — heating up, here is a timeline, according to House Republicans and other documentation, of the events that some lawmakers have said may lead to Biden's impeachment: [...]

In other words, he'll be living in the White House for a while.
Hunter Biden Could be Jailed if He Consumes Drugs, Alcohol as Part of Release Conditions. President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, could be jailed if he consumes any drugs or alcohol, according to the conditions of his release signed by U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika. Biden appeared in federal court in Delaware on Wednesday, where he was expected to enter a guilty plea as part of a deal negotiated between his lawyers and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) arising out of charges of illegally possessing a handgun and failing to pay two years' worth of federal taxes.

White House Backtracks on Hunter's Business Deals. The language is undeniably different, and yet White House officials said four different times Wednesday that "nothing has changed" concerning President Biden's longstanding denial that he was ever involved in the foreign business dealings of his son Hunter. House Republicans, meanwhile, contend that the deviation in wording now employed at the White House reflects a strategy to distance the president from Hunter Biden ahead of potentially damaging new testimony. Biden told Fox News on the campaign trail in September 2020, "I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings," a categorical denial he later repeated the next month in a radio interview with WBZ Boston when he said, "I don't discuss business with my son."

Hunter Biden's Attorneys Face Potential Sanctions over Alleged 'Misrepresentations to the Court'. Hunter Biden's attorneys face potential sanctions over "misrepresentations to the court" after his legal team allegedly lied to the clerk in his criminal case. The president's son is set to enter a plea agreement on Wednesday after his legal team secured a sweetheart plea agreement on Biden's charge by federal authorities of illegally possessing a handgun and failing to pay two years' worth of federal taxes. On Tuesday, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) submitted a brief to U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika that argued she should reconsider Biden's plea agreement in light of an IRS whistleblower's recent claim that the Department of Justice (DOJ) stifled their investigation into Biden.

Hunter Biden pleads not guilty to tax and gun charges and could face further charges over his business. Hunter Biden has unexpectedly pleaded not guilty to tax and gun crimes after his 'sweetheart' plea deal collapsed in a sensational court hearing. The scandal-hit first son is also still on the hook for any crimes linked to foreign deals with China and Ukraine after the judge dramatically rejected the first agreement that would have shielded him from future charges and seen him avoid jail. Hunter had arrived at federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, expecting to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and walk away with a slap on the wrist.

Judge Sets 'Conditions of Release' For Hunter Biden — Orders Him to Get a Job, Submit to Drug Testing. Hunter Biden arrived at court today in Delaware to agree to a sweetheart deal by the Biden Department of Justice on his years of criminal drug use, trafficking prostitutes, and multi-million dollar pay-for-play and bribery schemes with foreign officials from China, Ukraine, Romania, etc. Hunter was only charged with two misdemeanors related to tax fraud and he will avoid prison time on the gun charge. According to the DOJ's sweetheart deal, Hunter Biden would receive immunity from future charges.

Democrats are famous for saying, no one is above the law!
Report: Plea Deal Would Have Given Hunter Biden Immunity 'in Perpetuity'. The plea deal struck between federal prosecutors and Hunter Biden's defense team that fell apart in court Wednesday would have given the first son "broad immunity from prosecution in perpetuity," according to a report from the courtroom. The New York Times's Glenn Thrush reported Wednesday that the unusual plea deal had "offered Hunter Biden broad immunity from prosecution in perpetuity." Thrush reported that Judge Maryellen Noreika was highly skeptical of the plea deal, "questioning why it had been filed under a provision that gave her no legal authority to reject it."

Democrats May Want to Panic About Hunter Biden Now. On Wednesday, Hunter Biden appeared in federal court in Delaware to plead guilty to two misdemeanors for failing to pay millions in federal taxes and to accept a pre-trial diversion agreement on a gun charge, all in exchange for two years probation with no jail time. The sweetheart plea deal that was widely panned by experts fell apart in court and was ultimately rejected by the judge, forcing Hunter Biden to plead "not guilty." Suddenly, the president's son's "Get Out of Jail Free" card was gone, and the Democrats' hopes of putting the Hunter Biden saga behind them were dashed. This is certainly going to be a huge problem for Democrats because it means that Hunter's legal issues are far from over, and that the First Son could in fact face jail time — all while his father runs for president again, and his own Department of Justice faces questions of interfering with the investigation.

Aides and the press have created a Potemkin presidency, hiding if Joe Biden is up to it. President Biden is merely pretending to do his job. But will the charade collapse before he can finagle another election victory? In czarist Russia, a Russian governor named Potemkin built a fake village to deceive Catherine the Great about the condition of the peasants she ruled. In today's Washington, the media are partnering with Team Biden to concoct a Potemkin village to deceive Americans about Biden's faltering fitness for office.

Jonathan Turley Points To One Democrat Who 'Demolished' Joe Biden's Defense. Legal analyst Jonathan Turley appeared on Fox News on Wednesday to explain how Democratic New York Rep. Daniel Goldman "demolished" President Joe Biden's claim that he was not involved in Hunter's shady business dealings. Turley was asked to explain his recent piece "Media Beg Republicans To 'Move On' From Hunter Biden — Because They Know Scandal Is Serious," which appeared in the New York Post and focuses on testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who allege the Department of Justice pressured prosecutors not to charge Hunter with certain crimes. Both whistleblowers recently testified in front of Congress. "Well what's fascinating about what has happened with these IRS whistleblowers is that none of the members asked the whistleblowers any substantive questions except for one, that was Congressman Goldman, who tried to find some way to defuse this damaging evidence. It was a disaster," Turley explained.

Judge Demands Explanation From Hunter Biden's Lawyers Over Alleged Lie to Court Clerk. Lawyers for Hunter Biden may face legal sanctions for allegedly misrepresenting themselves to the court clerk in order to have information related to IRS whistleblowers removed from the case record. A member of Mr. Biden's legal team is accused of falsely identifying herself while requesting the removal of amicus materials. According to the court clerk, Jessica Bengels, a New York-based Latham and Watkins litigation services director, contacted the clerk and asked to have the information kept confidential. In a July 25 letter, Theodore Kittila informed Delaware Judge Maryellen Noreika of the alleged trick, and that the clerk's office had "advised that someone contacted the court representing that they worked with my office and that they were asking the court to remove this from the docket." Judge Noreika gave Mr. Biden's lawyers until 9 p.m. on Tuesday to provide an explanation from their perspective.

Hunter Biden could face same foreign lobbying charges that jailed Trump associates. Hunter Biden could face federal charges related to his failure to register as a foreign agent before he cut lucrative deals with Ukraine, China and other countries where his politically powerful father held sway. Prosecutors said Wednesday that an ongoing investigation of President Biden's son could include offenses related to the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA. Prosecutors made the statement during a federal court proceeding where Hunter Biden was expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and agree to a deal to spare him a felony gun charge.

Hunter's lawyer told prosecutors 'sweetheart' deal was off after judge eviscerated agreement. Hunter Biden's lawyers and prosecutors expected a routine hearing Wednesday when they arrived in court with a carefully negotiated deal to keep the president's son out of prison. Instead, they found themselves turning on each other under the glare of a federal judge who was determined to pick apart their agreement. It was a tense and unexpected episode in a three-hour ordeal that had the president's son stroll into a courtroom in his former hometown only to watch the plan to put his tax problems behind him crumble before his eyes.

CNN Claims Biden Investigation is "Much Ado About Nothing". Wednesday's [7/26/2023] CNN This Morning discussed the allegations that President Joe Biden's role in Hunter Biden's business dealings approached, in House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-Calif.) words, "the level of impeachment inquiry." Political commentator Van Jones declared the investigation to be "much ado about nothing" and that it was "pulled out of nowhere." Despite growing allegations, CNN treated a Biden impeachment inquiry as unwarranted, especially compared to former President Donald Trump's impeachment.

What, is Hunter Biden's legal team high or something? After scoring the sweetheart plea deal of the century, Hunter Biden's legal team ended a brutal day in court with no legal immunity, the old and renegotiated deals now dead, and a stark warning that the president's son is indeed under investigation for his failure to register as a foreign agent. Between today's disaster in court and revelations that Hunter Biden knew his attorney, millionaire Kevin Morris, was secretly purchasing his "artwork," I couldn't help but wonder: Is the first son's legal team high or something?

Hunter's lawyers and the prosecutor just got caught with their pants down. The prosecutors gave Hunter Biden a sweetheart plea bargain to end the tax fraud and gun case against him. For offenses that most certainly would have landed you or me in jail for years, Hunter got ... [drum roll] ... nothing. Nada. Zero jail time. He didn't even have to pay all of his unpaid taxes because the prosecution dallied so long that the statute of limitations expired. And the deal apparently immunized him against unrelated charges. He would walk, a new man. Well, not entirely. He would still be a man who was a drug addict, a deadbeat dad, a pervert, a tax evader, and a slouch. (But give him credit for his paintings!) But he would be a man immunized from any accountability for his crimes.

From paintings to China money, White House story on Hunter Biden keeps unraveling. Joe Biden has repeatedly denied any involvement with his son Hunter's business dealings, though recent revelations appear to have undercut that claim. But the president isn't the only administration official to have his public statements on the matter come under scrutiny in the face of conflicting evidence. As House Republicans, led by Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, rigorously pursue investigations into the Biden family, their findings appear to have substantiated links of the commander-in-chief's prior involvement in the first son's endeavors, seemingly contradicting the claims of the elder Biden and his subordinates. Here are some of the most glaring statements from the commander-in-chief and his subordinates on the first son's dealings that have collided with contrary evidence.

Joe Biden Allegedly Interacted With Son's Clients More Than 200 Times. President Joe Biden vehemently denied ever talking business with his son, "or with anyone else" in the run-up to the 2020 election. In fact, Biden even fat-shamed an Iowa voter who approached the subject during the Democratic primaries. On the debate stage with Donald Trump, the former vice president peddled conspiracies of Russian interference when emails from Hunter Biden's laptop revealed otherwise. On Sunday night, the New York Post reported on anticipated testimony from Hunter Biden's former business partner, Devon Archer. The 48-year-old who went golfing with the Bidens in 2014 is expected to tell the House Oversight Committee how Hunter Biden put his father in contact with foreign businessmen and potential investors at least 24 times. According to the Post, such meetings were either in person or by speakerphone, with Hunter Biden often dialing in Joe.

Only An Impeachment Inquiry Can Unravel Biden Family Corruption And The Feds' Role. Last week, our country passed the tipping point: The evidence of President Joe Biden's corruption during his time as vice president is now so overwhelming and the implications so serious, the disparate investigations underway in the House and Senate can no longer suffice. Nor can the Department of Justice and the FBI — even under the auspices of a special counsel — be trusted to oversee the investigation given the overwhelming evidence that they obstructed the probe into the Biden family. There is only one option left that can deliver truth and transparency to the American public, and that is an impeachment inquiry that investigates not just President Joe Biden, but Attorney General Merrick Garland, U.S. Attorney David Weiss, and FBI Director Christopher Wray.

The Democrats' Dilemma: How to Convince Joe Biden to Drop out of the Race. [Scroll down] The Democrats exploited the Covid-19 pandemic to unconstitutionally manipulate state voting laws, expand and abuse mail-in voting, and orchestrate unfettered ballot harvesting in order to place in office perhaps the most incompetent, corrupt, and bribable president in American history. They cannot feign ignorance as virtually every Washington insider knew Biden was an unprincipled buffoon since his early days in the Senate. By foisting this reprobate on America, they also, per the Constitution, granted him the unlimited power to grant pre-emptive pardons to whomever he chooses. Joe, in order to protect himself and his family, will, at some point, exercise his presidential prerogative to issue these pardons. [...] If the Democrats and the legacy media succeed in forcing Biden to resign, he will issue pardons for himself and Hunter et al on his way out the door. Thus, creating a potential political firestorm as the bulk of the citizenry would be incensed over this egregious self-dealing.

Here Are All The People Who Have Corroborated Biden Family Corruption. The corporate media's blackout on the ongoing Biden corruption investigation continued this week despite the publication of an unclassified document detailing President Joe Biden's alleged involvement in an international bribery scheme. The propaganda press didn't just ignore Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley's sharing of the bombshell FD-1023 and the FBI's ongoing attempts to stonewall its debut. Some outlets actually went out of their way to downplay the years of evidence accumulated in the Biden bribery investigation.

Hunter Biden lawyer accused of misleading clerk to block release of evidence. First son Hunter Biden's legal team appeared to pull a dirty trick Tuesday to block the release of damning evidence ahead of his expected guilty plea to federal charges of tax evasion and weapons crimes. The drama began in the morning when the House Ways and Means Committee filed an amicus brief to Delaware US District Judge Maryellen Noreika arguing that the 53-year-old had benefited from "political interference which calls into question the propriety of the investigation" into alleged crimes including money laundering, felony tax evasion and failure to register as a foreign agent. The filing included testimony by two IRS whistleblowers who sat for transcribed interviews on May 26 and June 1.

Report: Buyer of Hunter's Art Visited Joe Biden's White House 13 Times After First Art Exhibition. The purchaser of Hunter Biden's art reportedly visited President Joe Biden's White House 13 times after the president's son first showcased his paintings at his art dealer's gallery in New York City. Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a large Biden donor and Biden appointee to the Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad, visited the White House for large events, along with several intimate meetings, including with White House senior adviser Neera Tanden on March 21, according to White House visitor logs reviewed by the Free Beacon.

Hunter sold art to Biden donor who was given an impressive commission appointment. Hunter Biden is an artist who sells his artwork in art galleries in Manhattan and Los Angeles for a pretty penny. Creating the artwork is allegedly good therapy for his drug addiction recovery. The sales of his artwork were supposed to be anonymous to Hunter and his father, the president. That seemed like an impossible promise when the White House was questioned about the intersection between Hunter's latest financial venture and his father's political career. As it turns out, it was impossible. Business Insider has an exclusive story that Hunter did learn the identity of two buyers and one of those buyers is someone who received a favor from the Biden White House. The timing of the art purchase and the special favor are not known. At the time the public learned about Hunter's gallery showings and his artwork being for sale, questions about the ethics of the situation arose. Obama's former ethics chief called the arrangement "shameful and grifty.' It was pretty obvious that an amateur painter selling his artwork for prices up to $500,000 a piece was questionable, especially when the buyers might be purchasing the art to gain favor with Joe Biden, the president.

Well that is a shift. Lots of news about Joe Biden's obvious financial relationship with his influence peddling, coke-snorting, hooker-using disgusting and worthless human being he calls a son has been emerging of late. None of it tells us anything we didn't already know, except in terms of filling out the details of how the influence-peddling scheme worked and how the money was hidden and distributed within a family that is more corrupt than Spiro Agnew ever hoped to be. [Tweet] There's lots of talk of shell companies, coercion of Burisma executives, phone calls with the Big Guy on the line with Hunter's clients, and payments to brothers, daughters, and grandchildren (except Navy Joan-Roberts, of course). It's an awful lot for the MSM to cover up and the Democrats to call debunked, but fear not: they are up to the task, although Catherine Herridge is breaking from the pack and doing some actual reporting.

How To Create Conspiracy Theories. Given the blanket exemptions provided to Hillary Clinton for unlawfully destroying subpoenaed material and using a home server to transmit classified information, and the reduction of Hunter Biden's numerous felonies to minor misdemeanors, and the likely exemption given Joe Biden for storing classified files for years at his various homes and offices, why would anyone not believe that the government and the media work hard to suppress the truth? And why would any citizen believe the government or the media after the Biden campaign solicited "51 intelligence authorities" to swear falsely that the genuine Hunter Biden laptop was likely a product of "Russian disinformation." The entire concocted lie was a Biden-campaign effort to use the gravitas of former government officials and the complicity of the media to promote a fantasy to influence the impending presidential debate. And it worked to a tee. Note as well that the FBI hired out Twitter employees to suppress information concerning the Biden laptop. The truth was deemed "disinformation" in order to mislead voters on the eve of the 2020 election.

Kevin McCarthy Says Impeachment Inquiry of Joe Biden Being Prepared. Is Joe Biden finally about to face the first steps of impeachment? That's what House Speaker Kevin McCarthy signaled on Monday evening. While appearing on Fox News, McCarthy laid out the case that Joe Biden accepted bribes and funneled money through a variety of shell companies. He then said at the end of the segment with Sean Hannity that "this is rising to the level of an impeachment inquiry." [...] McCarthy indicates that what they've learned so far rises to the level of an impeachment inquiry and that one will be necessary to garner relevant facts to continue the investigation. As he notes at the end of his statement, the Biden administration has stonewalled Congress to this point, and an impeachment inquiry will give them new powers to demand and receive information.

Devon Archer to Appear Before House Next Week, Has Already Testified Before Grand Jury. I reported earlier on the important testimony that Hunter Biden's former business partner is expected to give to the House Oversight Committee. He's expected to tell the Committee about at least 24 phone calls that involved Joe Biden during business meetings Archer had with Hunter Biden and others, according to the new report from the New York Post. Not only that, Archer was Hunter's partner and close friend, so he's very knowledgeable about where all the bodies are buried in the business and is likely to have a lot more he could say as well. He dealt with Hunter for years on all these foreign deals. Now the timing of when Archer is going to speak to the Committee has just been announced. Archer is going to give a transcribed interview on July 31. As Fox's Martha MacCallum says [elsew]here, Joe Biden has denied being involved in any way with this son's business. Archer "can shed a lot of light" and "potentially blow the thing wide open."

The Editor says...
Free advice for Mr. Archer: I've seen this movie before. Get somebody else to start your car.

McCarthy: Biden case will 'rise to impeachment' as 16 Romanian payments allegedly went to 'shell companies'. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy predicted Republicans will gather enough evidence soon to mount an impeachment inquiry against President Biden, as the corruption scandal enveloping him and his son Hunter continues to grow. McCarthy, R-Calif., made reference to a relatively new revelation from the House Oversight Committee that — while Joe was vice president — Hunter Biden "capitalized" on a financial relationship with a Romanian national later convicted on corruption charges. According to prepared remarks from House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., in June, the Bidens received more than $1 million in 17 increments.

Hunter's $1.3M art buyers: Dem donor who Joe appointed to prestigious commission and Hollywood 'fixer' lawyer. Hunter Biden's artwork has brought in $1.3 million dollars, and it has been revealed that a top Democratic donor and Biden family friend who President Biden named to a prestigious commission was one of the top purchasers. Despite a promise that all purchasers' identities would be kept a secret, two names have been revealed: Los Angeles-based real estate investor and Democratic donor Elizabeth Hirsch Naftali and Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris. When Hunter Biden first announced he would make a high-dollar foray into the art world, the Biden team promised the identities of those who purchased Hunter's art would remain anonymous. On the campaign trail, Joe Biden promised an 'absolute wall' between his duties as president and his family's business dealings.

Zelensky Associate Was Present at Biden Bribery Meetings — Then Went to Work for President Zelensky. Author Peter Schweizer went on with Jesse Watters on Monday night where he proceeded to drop another bomb on the Biden Crime Family. According to Schweizer, who wrote a best-seller "Secret Empires" on the Biden Family crimes, told Jesse that one of Vlodomyr Zelensky's top officials was sitting in the room when they were discussing bribing the Bidens, Joe and Hunter. Ukrainian President Zelensky has a top official who was sitting in on meetings where they talked about bribing the Bidens. Schweizer suggests Zelensky is using this as leverage over the Biden regime for weapons and billions in US dollars.

Media beg Republicans to 'move on' from Hunter Biden — because they know scandal is serious. "I wonder after this plea happens if you would advise your party to move on?" That question from CBS's "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan to Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie was raised just days before a former business associate of Hunter Biden, Devon Archer, gives potentially explosive testimony to a House committee in the Biden corruption scandal. The media's desire to "move on" from the scandal is reaching an almost frantic level, as millions in foreign payments and dozens of corporate shell companies are revealed, and incriminating emails are released. The same plaintive demand was made in congressional hearings.

Report: FBI Told David Weiss It Partially Corroborated Biden Bribery Allegations. The FBI reportedly told U.S. Prosecutor David Weiss the bureau partially corroborated the claims that Burisma Holdings founder Mykola Zlochevsky bribed then-Vice President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden with $5 million each. The Pittsburgh FBI field office corroborated several details contained in the FBI informant record as a part of the intake process that former Attorney General William Barr established, a source with knowledge of the process told the Federalist.

[The] White House [is] Shifting and Parsing Words Around Joe and Hunter Biden "Business". Previously Joe Biden said, "I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else, anything having to do with their businesses." Today, the White House appears to have modified that position and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre now says, "the President was never in business with his son." [Video clip] The issue has specific weight now because Hunter Biden's friend and eyewitness to the Biden family business coordination, Devon Archer, is scheduled to deliver testimony to the House Oversight Committee a week from today, Monday July 31st.

DOJ vows Weiss will publicly testify to counter 'any misrepresentations about our work'. The Department of Justice told House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Monday that U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who has led the federal investigation into Hunter Biden, will appear for a public hearing with the committee to combat "any misrepresentations" about Weiss's work. Carlos Uriarte, an assistant attorney general, wrote in a letter to Jordan that Weiss could appear in late September or October for the hearing, long after President Joe Biden's son and Weiss have finalized their plea agreement, which is set to take place at a hearing Wednesday.

Hunter Biden put then-VP dad Joe on the phone with business associates at least 2 dozen times, ex-partner Devon Archer to testify. Hunter Biden would dial in his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone into meetings with his overseas business partners, according to testimony expected before Congress this week from Devon Archer, the first son's former best friend. Archer, 48, who is facing jail for his role in a $60 million bond fraud, is scheduled to testify to the House Oversight Committee about meetings he witnessed that were attended by Joe Biden either in person or via speakerphone when Hunter would call his father and introduce him to foreign business partners or prospective investors. "We are looking forward very much to hearing from Devon Archer about all the times he has witnessed Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden's overseas business partners when he was vice president, including on speakerphone," said Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the committee chairman. One such meeting was in Dubai late in the evening of Friday, Dec. 4, 2015, after a board meeting of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which was paying Hunter $83,000 a month as a director.

Trump slams Senate Republicans for going soft on Biden. Former President Trump accused Senate Republicans of going soft on President Biden amid the 'horrible revelations' coming out of the Hunter Biden investigations, putting on display the rift between the House and Senate GOP. 'Joe Biden is the most corrupt President in the history of the United States, which is being undeniably proven in the House of Representatives every single day,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday. His post came after a new New York Post report claimed Hunter Biden would dial in his then-vice president father Joe Biden into meetings with his overseas business partners.

FBI Told Delaware U.S. Attorney It Had Already Partially Corroborated Biden Bribery Claims, Source Says. When the Pittsburgh FBI office briefed the Delaware U.S. attorney's office on evidence implicating Hunter and Joe Biden in a bribery scheme, the agents also told the Delaware team they had already corroborated several aspects of the confidential human source's claims, an individual familiar with the briefing told The Federalist. On Thursday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released the FD-1023 summary of a confidential human source's reporting that the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma paid Hunter and Joe Biden each $5 million in bribes so the then-Vice President would "protect" Burisma "from all kinds of problems." Those bribes were in addition to the more than $4 million in total paid to Hunter Biden and his business partner Devon Archer for sitting on Burisma's board of directors.

Joe Biden's Re-Election Campaign Is Non-Existent, and That Should Terrify You. Joe Biden has more cash on hand than any other possible 2024 presidential candidate. Ironically, he also has no re-election campaign to speak of. You'd think an incumbent president flush with cash would already be doing the groundwork to prepare for the general election, especially given he doesn't have to spend anything to win the primary. So why isn't Biden hiring campaign staff? According to his aides, this is all part of the plan, and that should terrify you. [...] There's a certain maniacal confidence about a president who doesn't even bother to go through the motions of trying to get re-elected.

Biden Aides Descend Into Willful Delusion to Excuse His Frailty. Joe Biden's age is a problem, or more aptly, his frailty is. That's been the story percolating within the mainstream press, which once prided itself on protecting the sitting president at any cost. Recent accommodations have been made, including having Biden use the shorter belly stairs to board Air Force One. In response to official inquiries, his aides claim it's just a coincidence of circumstances. [...] But privately, his aides are leaking that the president's recent fall at the Air Force Academy commencement is the driving factor for a whole host of new protections being put in place. [...] In the weeks following Biden's hard fall, his use of the shorter stairs to board Air Force One went up to 84 percent compared to just 37 percent in the weeks before. That's a significant jump that can't be explained by weather or location, especially when it's noted that he's now using them at Joint Base Andrews as well.

How can anyone even consider reelecting the 'senescent, sticky-fingered, ill-tempered, spavined' Biden? Even in his prime, President Joe Biden often came across as a buffoon. When we think of Biden's long career in Washington (before his presidency), we think of his humiliating forced withdrawal from the 1988 Democratic presidential primary for plagiarism, his vile treatment of Supreme Court nominees Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas, his unwanted touching, and his lies and exaggerations. But his reemergence on the national stage in 2019 brought new attacks. Accusations that he had enriched himself and his family members during his tenure as vice president were leveled against him — serious charges he managed to dodge ahead of the 2020 presidential election with a little help from his friends. But those allegations have not gone away.

Hunter Biden's former business partner and friend is set to testify. Hunter Biden's former business partner and friend is set to testify that Hunter called then Vice President Joe during meetings with clients, reports say. Devon Archer, 48, was subpoenaed on June 12 by the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating Hunter's businesses and whether he and other members of the Biden family improperly traded on their connections. Archer has so far canceled his scheduled depositions three times, The Washington Examiner reported, but still intends to speak to the committee. They go on recess for the summer break in August.

Emma-Jo Morris: Government Institutions Have 'Zero Credibility' After Hunter Biden Laptop Story. Breitbart politics editor Emma-Jo Morris said on this week's broadcast of FNC's "Sunday Morning Futures" that our government institutions had zero credibility after the Hunter Biden laptop story's social media censorship. Anchor Maria Bartiromo said, "You testified in front of this committee last week, walking through how the intelligence community censored you. That had to be incredibly tough for you." [Video clip and transcript.]

The Inevitable Impeachment of Alleged President Joe Biden. It is clear that PINO (President-in-name-only) Joe Biden is going to get impeached. I didn't think that was true until recently, not because he doesn't deserve it — he massively deserves it — but because Republicans are generally weak. Impeachment is hard, and at the end of the day, he won't be removed from office anyway. But there's too much evidence out there now to avoid it. The GOP simply cannot explain to its base how it turned over this rock o' graft and ignored the wriggling worms underneath. So, the House will eventually impeach him, but only barely, because some Republicans are weak and because every single Democrat absolutely supports the PINO's complete and total corruption. It will be a gesture, but there's no alternative. At some point, you can't deny the corruption.

The Jaw-Dropping Hunter Biden Investigation Revelations. The compelling congressional testimony of two IRS whistleblower agents has established three things. First, the investigation into Biden corruption — millions of dollars pouring into the family coffers from apparatchiks of corrupt and anti-American regimes seeking to buy Joe Biden's political influence — is real and has been thwarted by the Biden Justice Department. Second, the president's son Hunter Biden received preferential treatment, and, next week, a federal judge should reject the sweetheart plea deal he was given by the Justice Department. Third, Attorney General Merrick Garland owes the country an explanation for why the Biden investigation has been sabotaged from within, even as he maintains publicly that it was conducted with independence and integrity.

FBI's Burisma Cover-Up Swung 2020 for Joe Biden, Evidence Suggests. The FBI's failure to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden's blatant Ukrainian bribery scheme appears to be prima facie evidence that the tax payer funded bureau willfully deceived the American public in order to place the elder Biden in the White House. This week saw the release of FD-1023, an unclassified but long hidden FBI document in which a source described to the agency how Burisma chief executive Mykola Zlochevsky bribed Joe and Hunter Biden with millions of dollars.

Prediction: Joe Biden Will Step Down from Office After Sudden Medical Emergency Before Republicans can Impeach Him. On Tuesday the House Oversight Committee released a 14-year timeline of the Biden Crime Family's influence peddling and selling out America to foreign regimes including Communist China. The Oversight Committee is likely just scratching the surface of the criminal actions by Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and the extended Biden family. The Biden family was selling out America to Ukraine, Romania, and Communist China. There is plenty of proof. On Wednesday IRS Whistleblower Joseph Ziegler confirmed in sworn testimony to Congress that the Biden Family received approximately $17 million in bribes from China, Romania, and other countries in exchange for political favors.

Journalist Who First Reported Hunter Biden Laptop Story Had the Perfect Response to This Question. Emma-Jo Morris got the scoop of a lifetime when she broke the Hunter Biden laptop story. Initially derided by the pro-Biden intelligence community, the liberal media, and social media executives, they tried to bury the story long enough to elect the rapidly deteriorating Delaware Democrat president. The election interference was coming from inside the house, the perpetrator: the Democratic Party. And yet, multiple federal investigations and congressional hearings are being held about the laptop's contents, now confirmed to be genuine.

House Oversight Chair Comer says he expects Hunter Biden to face between 6 [and] 10 criminal referrals. House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said he plans to file "between six and 10 criminal referrals" against Hunter Biden once the committee finishes its investigation. One of the charges would include illegally transporting women across state lines for prostitution, according to the New York Post. "The Democrats kept saying, 'Oh, we don't have any evidence. You don't have any evidence.' Well, [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene] showed them evidence," Comer said during an interview with Fox Business. During her questioning of the IRS whistleblowers on Wednesday, Greene displayed sexually graphic images printed on posters and asked questions that involved allegations about whether or not Hunter used his company to write up expenses for prostitutes. "She showed them evidence of the president's son committing a crime, violating the Mann Act," Comer said. "She showed the plane tickets, she showed the pictures, she showed the evidence. You know, there's no question he violated it. That's another thing that he could have been charged with."

The Truth about the Biden Family Business Is Becoming Too Big to Hide. President Joe Biden has repeatedly denied having any knowledge of his son's overseas business adventures, let alone the idea that he may have benefited financially from these deals. His emphatic denial in an October 2020 presidential debate was bolstered by a letter signed by 51 former high-ranking intelligence community officials that claimed the New York Post's devastating story about Hunter Biden's laptop had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." In April, House Republicans revealed that current Secretary of State Antony Blinken, then an adviser to Biden's campaign, allegedly served as the "impetus" behind the letter. Since then, solid evidence of Biden's involvement in the family influence peddling business has continued to mount. House Republicans have revealed bank records showing millions of dollars flowing through an elaborate maze of shell corporations set up by Hunter Biden and his associates and winding up in the accounts of at least nine Biden family members, including a grandchild.

How the Democrats and Media Enablers Censor News. [Scroll down] Starting prior to the 2020 election and lasting until this week, the FBI bottled up evidence that President Biden, beginning in 2009 when he was vice-president, received substantial bribes from foreign governments that he had threatened. Last week Senator Chuck Grassley made public a redacted version of FBI Form 1023 detailing a number of damaging accusations from an FBI informant, accusations buttressed by bank records, with a promise of more to come. Grassley wants to know why the FBI failed to investigate these credible allegations and hid them from Congress and the American people. Guess! I think it's for the same reason the FBI never investigates what appear to be multiple crimes by Hunter Biden on his laptop, which the agency knew was authentic at the time that 51 fomer IC officials publicly claimed it was "likely Russian disinformation," a claim concocted by the Hillary Clinton campaign. And for the same reason the reporter who broke the story about the laptop Hunter left at a computer repair shop was muzzled by the government, social media, and legacy media.

Bombshell Bribery Revelations Prompt Calls to Impeach Biden. Joe Biden is once again facing calls for impeachment following the release of an unclassified FBI document detailing how he and his son Hunter Biden coerced the head of Burisma to pay them a bribe of $5 million each in exchange for pressuring the Ukrainian government to dismiss prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the company for corruption. According to the redacted FD-1023 form, which was released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Burisma co-founder and CEO Mykola Zlochevsky told the FBI's confidential human source (CHS) during an August 2016 meeting that "it cost 5 [million] to pay one Biden, and 5 [million] to another Biden." Special agents use an FD-1023 form to record raw, unverified reporting from confidential human sources. "Most corrupt family to ever live in the White House! Impeach!" Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) tweeted Thursday. [Tweet]

The Editor says...
I can safely predict that Joe Biden's supporters will claim that he's too old and feeble to withstand the stress of impeachment, and too senile to understand what he has done wrong, even though these are the same people who currently say there's nothing wrong with him at all, and he should run for a second term.

Will Chuck Grassley's Burisma bombshell finally get the Bidens fired? Afamous clip from recent history: "I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money. Well, [...], he got fired." That was Joe Biden in 2016. He was relaxing among friends at a chummy event at the Council on Foreign Relations. Ha, ha, ha, tittered the appreciative audience. What a lark! Here was a former vice president of the United States bragging about how he (naughty word) blackmailed an official from a foreign government who was investigating the company on whose board Joe Biden's son sat.

Comer shares suspicion that Joe Biden sold 'access to our enemies for decades'. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said he suspects foul play goes back decades among President Joe Biden's family. Comer appeared on Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) podcast Verdict in a two-part episode, the second half of which aired Friday. The Kentucky representative took questions surrounding his investigation into the Biden family's business deals abroad, including in China, Russia, and Ukraine.

Where are the rest of the calls to impeach Biden? Now that Chuck Grassley has released the [condemnatory] FBI FD-1023 form showing that Joe and Hunter Biden received millions of dollars from the CEO of Burisma when the "Big Guy" was Vice President, you would think that this would be the biggest story dominating the news for months to come. But you would be incorrect. Most major news outlets continue to studiously ignore the subject or play it down if it's mentioned at all. Congressional Democrats continue to suggest that the document "might be fake," despite a complete lack of any information to the contrary. And while the Republicans conducting this investigation have expressed their collective outrage, many of them are drawing up short of what seems like an obvious next step in the process, failing to call for any definitive action that would involve removing Joe Biden from office. Just what will it take before these people decide that this is all a bridge too far?

DC Judge Refuses to Force DOJ to Turn Over Records Showing Biden-Garland's Obstruction of Hunter Biden Prosecution. Back in March, The Heritage Foundation requested documents from the DOJ using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regarding the government's investigation of Hunter Biden. Unsurprisingly, the DOJ refused. [Exhibit] Then, on June 20th, after several years of government investigations, Hunter Biden was charged with multiple, watered-down offenses. The charges were so weak they created a presumption of corruption at the DOJ. This was doubly true because it was announced that Hunter would be pleading out to the joke charges on July 26, 2023, in a rapid fire, "nothing to see here" prosecution. Six days later, the Heritage Foundation filed a FOIA lawsuit in Washington, D.C. (good luck getting a fair shake there) and requested the court force the DOJ to disclose critical records about the Hunter Biden investigation which would demonstrate that the Biden Administration and corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland were obstructing the prosecution. Heritage argued that the judge in Hunter's criminal case needed to see the records so that the sham prosecution would be exposed, and Hunter would not get a lenient judgment due to third-world level rank corruption.

The Media Loved Whistleblowers, Until They Blew the Whistle on Joe Biden. The media celebrated and defended whistleblowers in former president Donald Trump's administration. Not so much these days. When two veteran IRS investigators testified before Congress on Wednesday that the Justice Department interfered in their probe of the president's son, major news networks had other places to be. [Several tweets] What coverage mainstream media gave the hearing was often dismissive of the whistleblowers — or critical of the Republicans once again pouncing on the president's beleaguered son.

Here's Everything In The FD-1023 Document That Implicates Biden In An International Bribery Scheme. [An] FD-1023 document detailing then-Vice President Joe Biden's Burisma bribery scheme was made public on Thursday by Sen. Chuck Grassley. The record shows Biden fired a Ukrainian prosecutor tasked with investigating the energy company his son was a board member of in exchange for a total of $10 million. Delaware prosecutors hid the document from IRS investigators who say it would have aided their tax crime probe. The FBI, similarly, stonewalled publicizing the bombshell form, which earned FBI Director Christopher Wray the ire of Grassley and other Republicans focused on exposing Biden family corruption. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer even threatened to hold Wray in contempt unless he obeyed subpoenas and handed over the document. Grassley now possesses the record, which was always unclassified, and chose to share it with the public so Americans are aware of the impeachable, international corruption plaguing our chief of state, despite his incessant denials that he knows anything about his son's overseas business dealings.

[The] Left [is] Now Pushing Biden to Ignore Supreme Court Decisions He Disagrees With. Two radical left "scholars" have crawled from underneath the rocks where they were hiding and are now openly advocating the end of "judicial review." That's the theory that the Supreme Court has the last word on constitutional issues and that all must obey their decisions — including, and especially, presidents. The doctrine dates back to the 1803 Marbury v. Madison decision, where Chief Justice John Marshall decided the ultimate question of power: is an act of Congress or the Constitution the supreme law of the land? But now, Harvard law Prof. Mark Tushnet and political scientist Aaron Belkin are advocating for something they're calling "Popular Constitutionalism" to give Joe Biden the dubious authority to ignore or disobey Supreme Court decisions.

It's Increasingly Clear the Feds Were Protecting Joe Biden, Not Hunter. On Wednesday, we learned the identity of "Whistleblower X." Joseph Ziegler, a self-proclaimed Democrat who worked at the agency since 2010, told the House Oversight Committee that he handled 95% of the evidence in the Hunter tax investigation. Ziegler testified that throughout the five-year investigation, he felt "handcuffed," "hamstrung," "marginalized" and ultimately stopped from moving forward in the manner he would for any other scofflaw. Ziegler wrote a 99-page memo laying out the case for felony charges, wholly consistent with the IRS guidelines governing charging in tax evasion cases. He maintains that every investigator and prosecutor on the case agreed felonies were in order — all of which should be easy enough to find out. Sure, it's fun to talk about salacious parts of the Hunter case, but the far bigger concern should be finding out why companies operating in authoritarian nations sent the Bidens $17 million. It would be a fair question even if there had been no criminal investigation.

IRS whistleblowers reveal who's really to blame for shocking Biden corruption. In Wednesday's marathon House hearing, Oversight Committee Democrats ran into a buzzsaw: two IRS whistleblower agents — Gary Shapley, the supervisor on the investigation who went public a few weeks ago, and Joseph Ziegler, the lead investigator on the case, who was publicly identified for the first time at the hearing. In gory detail, the agents outlined how President Biden's Justice Department quashed the Biden corruption investigation from within while publicly pretending that it was being conducted with independence and integrity. When committee Democrats tried to poke holes in the testimony, they ended up on the receiving end of what they hadn't bargained for: fusillades of fact — [scathing] data about the millions raked in by the president's son and family members from apparatchiks of corrupt and anti-American regimes.

Republicans renew calls for President Biden's impeachment after FBI document release. The GOP-led movement to kick off the impeachment process against President Biden shows no signs of slowing down after an FBI document revealing alleged corruption was released and two IRS whistleblowers testified before Congress this week. 'Most corrupt family to ever live in the White House! Impeach!' Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., wrote on Twitter. 'Read and understand just how deep the corruption goes. Biden should be thrown out of office. Impeach!,' wrote Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., along with shots of the FBI document.

Five most significant allegations against the Bidens in FBI FD-1023 form. President Biden and his son Hunter allegedly "coerced" Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky to pay them millions of dollars in exchange for their help in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company fired, according to allegations contained in an unclassified FBI document released Thursday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. Grassley said he had released the document so that the American people can "read this document for themselves without the filter of politicians or bureaucrats." The document is an FBI-generated FD-1023 form, which Grassley acquired through legally protected disclosures by Department of Justice whistleblowers, according to the senator's office.

Media Blackout: Corporate Media Ignore Hunter Biden Revelations. Most corporate media outlets completely ignored bombshell revelations on Thursday involving allegations that Hunter Biden and then-Vice President Joe Biden were involved in a bribery scheme in 2015 and 2016. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Thursday released an unclassified FBI document that memorialized a conversation between the FBI and one of their trusted informants, who passed on to the FBI detailed allegations from the founder of the Ukrainian natural gas and oil company who employed Hunter Biden, that Hunter Biden and then-Vice President Joe Biden were both involved in a bribery scheme.

Getting Biden Wrong. From listening to Republican TV and reading Republican publications, I have learned that Joe Biden is a sleazy, mendacious, and demented chief executive. He has weaponized the entire Justice Department and the IRS against his real and suspected political opponents, thrown open our southern border to drug cartels, and reduced our armed forces and international posture to shambles. Moreover, Joe has a gangster son with whom he has engaged in illegal business ventures; and it's entirely possible that the cocaine recently found in the West Wing of the White House came from son Hunter, who is a drug addict as well as many other bad things. Joe also keeps falling off platforms and saying ridiculous things, when he's not weirdly sniffing the hair of little girls and hurling obscenities at his staff or reporters who dare to ask substantive questions. If this information, which the MSM usually tries to hide from us, is intended to convince me that Joe is thoroughly unfit for his office, I no longer need convincing. Biden seems to be far and away the most incompetent, unprincipled, and verbally incoherent president of my lifetime, going back to the 1950s. It would be hard to think of any president who has disgraced his office to the same degree or who has unleashed more problems on this country. All the same, almost half the voters (and I know many such people) believe Biden or his handlers are doing a great job managing this country; and even those who think he may be growing cognitively incompetent love his policies and would like to see them continued.

Key Info from the FD-1023. [Thread reader] Below are a few critical pieces of information from the unclassified 6/30/20 FD-1023 form. This form contains information from a trusted, highly credible confidential human source (CHS) who has been used by the FBI for over a decade. The CHS was introduced to Mykola Zlochevsky, Burisma's CEO & Founder, through Oleksandr Ostapenko (aka Alexander Ostapenko). Ostapenko at the time the form was created "works in some office for the administration of President Zelensky (NFI)." Hunter Biden was hired by Burisma to protect them "THROUGH HIS DAD from all kinds of problems." When the CHS told Zlochevsky the investigation into Burisma might "have a substantial negative impact on Burisma's prospective IPO in the United States," Zlochevsky replied something to the effect of, "DON'T WORRY HUNTER WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THOSE ISSUES THROUGH HIS DAD." When the CHS advised Burisma CEO Zlochevsky to "pay some attorney $50,000" to "simply litigate the matter in Ukraine," Zlochevsky said "IT COST 5 (MILLION) TO PAY ONE BIDEN, AND 5 (MILLION) TO ANOTHER BIDEN." Burisma CEO Zlochevsky admits he did not hire Hunter Biden for his intellect. It's also understood that Zlochevsky "PAID THE BIDENS, PRESUMABLY TO 'DEAL WITH SHOKIN.'"

Senator Chuck Grassley Releases FBI FD-1023 Document Outlining Statement by Witness of Biden Bribery and Corruption. This afternoon [7/20/2023] U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley released the FBI witness statement known as the FD-1023 that lies at the heart of the Biden bribery and corruption scandal. Initially, the FBI refused to hand over the unclassified FD-1023 stating there is an ongoing investigation using the confidential human source who made allegations outlined in the document. Remember, the allegations and the statement record were created in July of 2020, over three years ago. The FBI refused to say the 6-page unclassified document existed. After House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told FBI Director Chris Wray, he had already seen the unclassified document via a whistleblower, then Wray admitted the FBI indeed had it. On June 1st, the FBI refused to release the document, stating it was captive as part of an "ongoing investigation." Today, Chuck Grassley released it.

The Department of Justice must justify Hunter's special treatment. Whatever hope Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Biden administration had of using Hunter Biden's plea deal to end oversight of Biden family business dealings was crushed with the blockbuster testimony of two IRS whistleblowers who scrupulously cataloged how and when Justice Department officials interfered with their investigation of the president's son. Any notion that the whistleblowers had a political ax to grind in coming forward was laid to rest early in the hearing when special agent Joe Ziegler noted that he was a lifelong Democrat married to another man. "People are saying that I must be more credible because I'm a Democrat who happens to be married to a man," Ziegler said. "I'm no more credible than this man sitting next to me due to my sexual orientation or my beliefs. The truth is, my credibility comes today from my job experience with the IRS and my intimate knowledge of the agency's standard and procedures."

Explosive FD-1023 Exposes More Biden Bribery Dirt — And Teases Evidence To Come. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, just released a minimally redacted copy of the FBI's FD-1023 detailing a confidential human source's reporting of a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and the Ukrainian business Burisma. According to the FD-1023 summary, Burisma's owner specifically referenced the firing of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin — the same man Biden bragged about Ukraine firing after his threat to withhold aid from the country while he was vice president. After months of pushing the Justice Department and FBI to explain what investigative procedures they had undertaken in response to evidence implicating then-Vice President Biden in a criminal bribery scheme, Grassley released the unclassified copy of the FD-1023, which documented claims made by the "highly credible" confidential human source (CHS). Grassley had acquired the FD-1023 via legally protected disclosures by Justice Department whistleblowers.

Republican calls to impeach Biden grow following release of FBI document detailing bribery allegations. Republicans immediately began lashing out at President Biden Thursday following the release of an unclassified FBI document detailing his alleged involvement in an international bribery scheme, with a number rallying for his impeachment. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released the FD-1023 form earlier in the day which detailed how Biden, along with his son, Hunter Biden, allegedly "coerced" Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky to pay them millions of dollars in exchange for their help in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company fired. "Most corrupt family to ever live in the White House! Impeach!" Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., wrote on Twitter, while Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., wrote, "Read and understand just how deep the corruption goes. Biden should be thrown out of office. Impeach!"

Just when you thought Biden couldn't get more pathetic... By now, despite all the cover the MSM provides Biden with stories about how healthy and alert he is, the simple fact is that he can barely walk and barely talk coherently. The White House keeps him away from reporters, and they are just fine with that. They already have their marching orders, knowing exactly what to say and in what adoring tones they must repeat it. The real question for Americans is: why on Earth are you tolerating this? At least royals had regents when not capable of carrying out their duties; Joe Biden still can order our military around. Ed wrote about this yesterday as did I: Biden is not all there, and it can't be hidden anymore.

What if Biden's dementia accelerates and becomes impossible to hide? I'm far from an expert on dementia, but it looks to my layman's eye that the pace of President Biden's decline is picking up. So, what if something awful happens and nobody can deny with a straight face that he is impaired? His puppet masters want him to remain in office through the election. An incumbent Kamala Harris, even if only an "Acting President," under the 25th and therefore never sworn into the office, would be painful to dislodge from heading the ticket in 2024. They know that she is a sure loser in 2024, beyond the ability of electoral cheating to remedy. The idea that Trump might win running against her terrifies them. Then there is Jill Biden, with her love of titles, status, and perks, who would want to stay on as First Lady rather than becoming another caregiver for an elderly retired dementia victim. She would want to resist demands for his resignation or notification under the terms of the 25th Amendment that he is unable to do his job. As the spouse of a partially or fully incapacitated elder, she probably has control over any formal letter that he might be pressed to issue. As in the case of Edith Wilson, she might develop a taste for exercising the powers of the presidency. Unlike Edith Wilson's situation, there is no recovery from dementia.

Bombshell FBI document detailing alleged $10M Biden bribery scheme. A highly-anticipated internal FBI document, obtained by DailyMail.com, includes bombshell claims that Joe Biden and his son Hunter forced a Ukrainian oil executive to pay them $10 million in exchange for the then-Vice President's influence in getting a senior prosecutor fired. According to the conversation between a confidential source and Burisma CFO Vadim Pojarski in 2015, Hunter Biden was hired onto the company's board to 'protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems.' Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky told the source: 'It costs 5 (million) to pay one Biden, and 5 (million) to another Biden.'

Burisma chief said he was 'coerced' to pay Joe [and] Hunter [Biden] in bombshell allegations. A bombshell FBI informant file containing a $10 million bribery allegation against President Biden and his son was released Thursday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, showing that a Ukrainian oligarch claimed he was "coerced" into making the payoff. Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of natural gas company Burisma Holdings, told the FBI informant in 2016 while meeting at a coffee shop in Vienna, Austria, that "it cost 5 [million] to pay one Biden, and 5 [million] to another Biden," according to the redacted FD-1023 form. "Zlochevsky made some comment that although Hunter Biden 'was stupid, and his (Zlochevsky's) dog was smarter,' Zlochevsky needed to keep Hunter Biden (on Burisma's board) 'so everything will be okay,'" the June 2020 document says. The source asked whether Hunter Biden or Joe Biden told Zlochevsky he should "retain" the younger Biden; Zlochevsky replied, 'They both did,'" according to the file.

Elite IRS whistleblowers are bravely standing up to the Bidens, DOJ. In an age of sleazy political corruption that seems insurmountable, there is enormous power in the integrity of two ordinary men willing to stand up, show their faces and tell the truth under oath. Two elite IRS agents, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, put their reputations on the line to testify yesterday about egregious wrongdoing at the highest levels of the Department of Justice, which they say obstructed and ultimately destroyed their five-year criminal investigation into Hunter Biden. Their integrity is as rare as a unicorn in Washington, DC, and they put to shame all the cowards in the IRS and DOJ and FBI who have stayed silent about this Watergate-level coverup. The testimony they gave and the evidence they will continue to provide Congress helps put the nail in the coffin of Joe Biden's repeated claims that he knows nothing about his son Hunter's overseas business dealings.

10 Absurd Assumptions You Have To Swallow To Believe The White House-Cocaine Failure Theater. In their latest act of condescending foolery, they've flaunted what was either a shameless coverup or unbelievable incompetence in the Mysterious Case of the Teeny-Tiny Cocaine Baggie Someone Left Somewhere in the White House But That's All We Know, Folks. The messaging has fluctuated from "Must have been a tourist!" to "Kamala?" to "It's irresponsible to ask questions about this," but the bottom line is that there's no way, absolutely not, that it could possibly belong to admitted drug addict and apparent White House resident Hunter Biden — no doubt about it. I'm sure they're counting on some people to be stupid enough to buy the act, and I'm sure some have. But they're counting on far more to be complacent enough not to care. Here are 10 assumptions you have to gulp down in order to make the bumbling White House's talking points make sense. [...]

Whistleblower X reveals identity as IRS special agent Joseph Ziegler. The identity of the anonymous IRS whistleblower alleging political misconduct throughout the Hunter Biden investigation was revealed on Wednesday as special agent Joseph Ziegler — a gay Democrat with more than a dozen years serving within the agency's criminal investigative division. Ziegler appeared for the first time publicly before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, alongside his IRS supervisor Gary Shapley, who also has blown the whistle on political influence surrounding prosecutorial decisions throughout the years-long federal probe into the president's son.

Dershowitz: Hunter Plea Deal Can't Be Accepted As Is, 'We Can't Trust' This DOJ and Weiss Has Too Many 'Restrictions'. On Wednesday's broadcast of Newsmax TV's "The Record," Harvard Law Professor and Newsmax Legal Analyst Alan Dershowitz stated that we cannot trust the Department of Justice "to investigate the son of the man who appointed everybody in the Justice Department" and U.S. Attorney David Weiss "is not able to do the job with the restrictions that have been placed on him." Dershowitz also argued that Hunter Biden's plea deal shouldn't be accepted without investigating what kind of jurisdiction Weiss had. Dershowitz said, "Weiss is not able to do the job with the restrictions that have been placed on him. We need to either give him the status of a special prosecutor, an independent prosecutor or create one. We can't trust this Justice Department to investigate the son of the man who appointed everybody in the Justice Department, even if they didn't — if he didn't technically appoint this person. The American people have no faith in Weiss. They have no faith in the Justice Department. They have no faith that we're seeing administration of justice fairly."

The Biden Family Caricatures. The Biden first family seems determined to confirm every stereotype of their antisocial behavior — to the point of dysfunctionality. During the 2020 campaign at least eight women alleged that then presidential candidate Joe Biden in the past had serially and improperly touched, kissed or grabbed them. One, Tara Reade alleged she was sexually assaulted by Biden, who denied the charge. Yet Biden himself finally was forced to apologize for some of his behavior. Or as he said at the time, "I get it." He claimed that he would no longer improperly invade the "private space" of women and had meant no harm. But Biden's obnoxious conduct extended well beyond the eight accusers. Women as diverse as former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, and Biden's own daughter-in-law Kathleen Buhle, have both alleged in their memoirs that Biden made them feel uncomfortable through his intrusive touching and embraces.

ABC Stood Alone as They Ignored IRS Whistleblower Testimony. While CNN and MSNBC tried to hide the House Oversight Committee's hearing with two IRS whistleblowers who investigated Hunter Biden by not carrying it live wall-to-wall, ABC's World News Tonight stood alone as the only broadcast network to ignore their sworn testimony. It was testimony that exposed how the so-called Department of Justice and Delaware U.S. Attorney's office were meddling in their investigation to protect the Bidens. Instead of covering the latest development in a scandal rocking the Biden White House, ABC spent two and half minutes (2:27) on Special Counsel Jack Smith going after former President Trump and almost two minutes (1:47) on dubious claims meant to smear Texas DPS and how they deal with illegal immigrants. In stark contrast, CBS Evening News dedicated almost three minutes (2:51) to the whistleblower hearing with senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge snagging an exclusive interview with one of the whistleblowers.

MTG on White House Cocaine Scandal: 'First Family Should Submit to Drug Test'. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called on President Joe Biden and his family to submit to drug testing after cocaine was found in the West Wing of the White House in early July. The Secret Service closed its investigation last week into who left cocaine in a cubbyhole in the West Wing, the agency stating that it was "not able" to "single out a person of interest" because of a lack of physical evidence. However, a security source has contradicted the Secret Service, telling Soldier of Fortune magazine White House officials have confirmed who brought cocaine into the White House via fingerprint analysis. Some veteran investigators have said they believe the Secret Service is engaging in a "cover-up."

'Democrat' Hunter Biden whistleblower Joseph Ziegler comes forward. IRS agent Joseph Ziegler stepped forward Wednesday as the second whistleblower alleging a coverup in the criminal investigation of President Biden's son Hunter — calling himself a Democrat who wanted "to do what is right." Ziegler worked on the investigation since it opened in 2018 and was joined by his supervisory agent Gary Shapley, who oversaw the probe since January 2020, at a House Oversight Committee hearing.

Citing Unpursued Evidence, IRS Whistleblower Calls for Special Counsel to Probe Biden Case. A previously unidentified IRS whistleblower publicly told Congress on Wednesday that federal prosecutors investigating presidential son Hunter Biden were "hamstrung" by political pressure and called for appointment of a special counsel in the case. Former IRS special agent Joseph Ziegler — a Democrat who identifies himself as a gay married man — previously gave anonymous testimony to the House Ways and Mean Committee. In new testimony Wednesday, Ziegler made his identity known to the House Oversight and Accountability Committee during a hearing on why a five-year investigation recently produced a lenient Justice Department plea agreement with Hunter Biden, despite evidence that the president's son made millions in overseas business deals in China, Ukraine, and other places by using his father's name.

4 Key Takeaways From IRS Whistleblowers' Insights on Impeded Hunter Biden Probe. A key House committee heard testimony Wednesday from two IRS whistleblowers who detailed what they said was Justice Department officials' efforts to slow or impede an investigation of presidential son Hunter Biden for unpaid taxes. Committee Republicans sought to extract as many details as they could from the two veteran IRS employees, while Democrats seemed to try to disparage them and to change the subject to Donald Trump from President Joe Biden's son. The hearing was especially dramatic because it featured testimony from IRS agent Joseph Ziegler, who publicly identified himself for the first time, as well as his supervisor on the case, Gary Shapley, who went public weeks ago.

MTG Just Leaked Who Bribed Joe Biden! The bribery scheme revealed by the data on Hunter Biden's laptop is shrouded in secrecy, and as citizens wait for the details of the offenses to be disclosed, the 2024 presidential election draws closer. A member of the House and the House Oversight Committee, the committee tasked with investigating such actions by elected officials, have now disclosed the source of the bribe money accepted by the Bidens. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has revealed that Mykola Zlochevsky, the proprietor of Burisma, was the previously "unnamed" foreign national who purportedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden with $10 million. My Truth News reports that Greene has now stated, "Zlochevsky is the foreign national who made 17 secret phone recordings of the Bidens as an insurance policy," citing an announcement by Greene.

Whistleblower Confirms GOP Claims That Biden Family Raked in $17 Million From Foreign Business Dealings. During a bombshell House Oversight hearing on Wednesday, 13-year IRS Special Agent with the Criminal Investigation Division, Joseph Ziegler — a gay man and a Democrat — came forward with stunning claims. Ziegler appeared for the first time publicly to blow the whistle on political misconduct throughout the entirety of the Hunter Biden investigation, claiming the president's son should have been charged with a tax felony, adding that text messages reviewed by investigators "may be a contradiction to what President Biden was saying about not being involved in Hunter's oversea business dealings." The whistleblower said that Hunter Biden and his companies brought in over $17 million from foreign sources over several years, beginning when President Joe Biden served as vice president. His groundbreaking testimony on Wednesday confirmed claims made by Republicans, suggesting the Biden family was and is involved in shady overseas business dealings.

Byron Donalds lays out the 'facts' of the Bidens' alleged 'international pay-for-play scheme'. IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler testified that the Biden family received $17.3 million from Ukraine, Romania, and China. This was divulged as Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., questioned Ziegler during the House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday. [Tweet with video clip] Donalds noted that there was "evidence that he was living lavishly through his corporate bank account," and asked, "Is that the basis of a criminal investigation?" Ziegler noted that it was. He was then asked about attempts to obtain location data regarding the infamous WhatsApp message implicating Joe Biden in Hunter Biden's business dealings.

Ukraine and Cocaine. There is an eerie parallel between what passes for America's Ukraine policy and the fact that a fat sack of Bolivian energy dust got discovered in the White House and was promptly forgotten. These two happenings are two sides of the same coin, and its denomination is failure. It is the failure of our establishment, the last gasp — or snort — of a ruling caste that has discovered that, at the end of the day, it could get away with getting high on its own supply (at least for a while) and, like Tony Montana, ploughed its face into a mountain of nose candy as his world collapsed. These situations the same because they both tell terrible truths about the coterie of mediocrities who presume to rule us. They both manifest the incomprehensible stupidity, unconscionable arrogance, and cynical evasion of accountability that characterize the best and the brightest of the twenty-first century.

MTG displays images of Hunter Biden 'making pornography' that was listed as a tax write off. Marjorie Taylor Greene displayed graphic sexual images of Hunter Biden's alleged tax write-offs during the House Oversight Committee Hearing Wednesday. She also questioned IRS Whistleblower Joseph Ziegler regarding Hunter Biden's Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). She discussed prostitution, human trafficking, and evidence that Hunter Biden paid to fly a woman across the country to engage in sex acts and then wrote this off as a business expense for his law firm, Owasco. [Tweet with video clip] She then held up a graphic sexual picture of Hunter and the woman, noting, "But I would like to point out that this is not what most paralegals do... for law firms."

Doubts and Questions About Biden Will Only Grow. Wow, big news broke Tuesday — President Biden's campaign is officially going to be headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. For months nervous Democrats have wondered why Biden only had four full-time staffers devoted to his reelection effort and why the campaign wasn't yet located anywhere. This development will do absolutely nothing, however, to stop the panic within the party that Biden is too old to run for reelection and could easily lose to former President Donald Trump. Sorry, Team Biden, these fears will not be put to rest; they are going to persist and grow. Though the White House and the Democratic National Committee may be trying to ignore it, there is suddenly a constant stream of stories in the media about doubts that Biden can make it across the finish line 16 months from now.

America First Legal Sues DOJ for Failing to Require Hunter Biden Register as Foreign Agent. America First Legal (AFL) announced a lawsuit against the Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland over their failure to require Hunter Biden to register as a foreign agent. As Breitbart News reported, CEFC China Energy Co., a company linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), paid Hunter Biden a $1 million legal retainer and $3.8 million in consulting fees. Two months later, Hunter Biden told whistleblower Tony Bobulinski that he did not want to register as a foreign agent on behalf of CEFC.

Dems in Total Disarray As They Fumble Miserably Against IRS Whistleblowers. Spencer wrote about the opening remarks from "Mr. X," an unnamed IRS whistleblower whose identity has finally been revealed. It's 13-year IRS veteran Joseph Ziegler, a gay Democrat, who, along with Special Agent Gary Shapley, has alleged improper interference from the Biden administration regarding IRS investigations into Hunter Biden. Shapley's allegations have been public for weeks, even placing Attorney General Merrick Garland in the crosshairs for lying to Congress. To recap some of the story, outgoing Attorney General William Barr referred the matter to David Weiss, the Delaware US Attorney, who last year tried to bring charges against the son of the president but was denied. Weiss also requested special counsel status and, yet again, was blocked. That goes against what Biden AG Merrick Garland said about Weiss having every legal remedy at his disposal. But what's more provocative is that if Weiss did apply for special status, the paper trail would end with Garland. [Tweet with video clip]

Marjorie Taylor Greene warns 'parental discretion advised' before showcasing explicit Hunter Biden laptop pictures with prostitutes. Marjorie Taylor Greene shared explicit images of Hunter Biden with prostitutes during the Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday. The Georgia congresswoman warned parents watching at home before her time questioning IRS whistleblowers that 'discretion is advised.' The shocking moment went out on the C-SPAN live stream as well as other cable network channels airing the hearing, including Fox News.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Shares Graphic Photos of Hunter Biden, Prostitutes at House Hearing. US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) brought visual aids to a House Oversight Committee hearing that showed US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, engaging in sexual acts with purported prostitutes. Greene alleged Biden was hiring the women through his law firm. "This is not really what most paralegals do for law firms," Greene said on Wednesday. The pictures, which were partially censored, were taken from sex tapes filmed by Biden, according to Greene, who warned viewers and colleagues that discretion was advised before showing the images, but was nevertheless met with objections from other lawmakers.

The Biden Family Scandals, a Basic Primer. President Joe's son, Hunter, made it into the ABC's news selection the other day, when he was let off from paying his debt to society for a trio of crimes normally viewed as prison-worthy felonies. According to the ABC team, nothing much to see here. Hunter pleaded guilty to a couple of tax misdemeanours — he'd under-paid $US580,000 tax for 2017 and $US620,000 tax for 2018, according to IRS whistle-blower Gary Shapley. The official court documents spoke merely of him evading about $US100,000 tax per year. Hunter's total earnings for 2014-19 were $US8.3 million, derived mainly from shaking down corrupt Ukrainians, Romanians, Kazakhs and Chinese-based tycoons affiliated with the Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army. He got probation on tax, not even a fine, thanks to his dad's Justice pals. He also admitted to lying when buying a handgun, signing that he wasn't a drug addict. For that, he is to do a year's upmarket rehab, called "a pre-trial diversion program". When he completes rehab, the gun charge lapses. I'd thought Joe Biden and his Democrats were fiercely for gun control but apparently not when it's Joe's son buying a Colt Cobra .38 Special.

Biden gets worse by the day. For the past few weeks, we have been inundated by MSM flacks praising Joe Biden as a loving father who understandably protects his son from the mean, mean Republicans. Yeah, whatever. By now we know that Joe Biden could literally do anything and the entire political and media establishment would find a way to praise him as being the "kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life." But it is becoming increasingly clear that no matter how wonderful a father Joe Biden is, and I don't happen to think even a kind, brave, warm, and wonderful president should ignore his responsibility to the country in order to protect his family, he may soon not be able to even recognize his own son. His dementia is getting that bad, and anybody who has had the sad experience of taking care of a failing dementia patient can see it. [Tweet with video clip]

James Comer: Bidens Owned over 20 Shell Companies to Hide Payments, Launder Money. The Biden family opened more than 20 shell companies to hide payments and launder money, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) said Sunday. After reviewing Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) at the Treasury and subpoenaing banks and individuals, Comer posted on Twitter that the Biden family created more than 20 entities to accept, forward, and collect payment from a wide range of business associates.

The Secret Service Makes Me Nervous. That's how I felt after the agency, charged with protecting the president, delivered a report that said it could not find the person responsible for bringing cocaine into the White House. No fingerprints on the plastic bag. No DNA. No video of someone who might have placed it in a small locker in a visitors' area where cellphones and other prohibited items are stored until one departs. In one of the most secure buildings in the world. With cameras and monitoring devices in plain view and also hidden on every floor. NBC News reported the agency failed to interview anyone about the incident. [...] That addictive drugs are now found in a hallowed building where great presidents once served and saved the nation is another indication of how far we have sunk when it comes to what used to be called standards. Predictably, but not without cause, some Republicans and conservative media are crying "cover-up" and wondering why no scandal has touched the Biden family.

Don't discount a Michelle Obama run for the presidency. During 2020, COVID gave Democrats the excuse to hide Biden in his basement most of the time. When he had to attend functions and rallies, COVID was again a useful excuse for a small turnout. This time around, though, trotting Biden out for events is simply impossible. He walks like a broken robot, he can't read the teleprompter, he's frequently incoherent, and voters, if they don't understand now, will soon realize that his uncontrolled temper is a sign, not of power, but of dementia. Jill's anguish notwithstanding, Biden will be gone from the scene, giving Kamala a chance to play president. However, Kamala is every bit as incoherent as Biden, without the excuse of dementia. She's a no-go. Unfortunately, leftist women, especially leftist black women, will be very angry if a black-ish woman is sidelined.

FBI agent who investigated Hunter Biden confirms IRS whistleblower's allegations. Republicans running the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Hunter Biden claim an FBI agent has confirmed allegations that Hunter had been given favorable treatment by investigators. The Committee is looking into whether investigators delving into Hunter Biden's tax affairs and his lying about drug use on a gun permit gave the 53-year-old preferential treatment. Two IRS whistleblowers — one anonymous, the other named Gary Shapley — have claimed that Hunter Biden was treated more leniently than ordinary Americans.

Jean-Pierre Stands By 'Thorough' Investigation Into Cocaine Found At White House. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre expressed confidence in the Secret Service after the agency announced last week that no suspects were identified in the investigation into who brought cocaine into the White House earlier this month. Jean-Pierre did not seem concerned when asked about the probe coming up empty after previously saying she was confident the Secret Service would "get to the bottom of it." [...] Last week, the Secret Service closed its investigation after it said that no usable fingerprints or DNA were found on the bag of cocaine. "The investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered," the agency said in a statement. No interviews with any of the possible culprits were conducted, according to Secret Service spokesman Anthony Gugliemi, who said reaching out to all 500 people determined to be in the area would likely be a waste of resources.

The Secret Service's investigation on the cocaine found in the White House blows. Of all the excuses offered by the Secret Service to explain why it shut down the White House cocaine investigation last week after just 11 days, one jumped out as particularly ridiculous. It couldn't conduct interviews of potential cokeheads known to be in the vicinity of where the bag of drugs was found because it didn't want to infringe on their civil rights, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told NBC. "We have no evidence to approach them," he said of 500 possible suspects identified in the area on the holiday weekend before July 4. Hah! Tell that to the hundreds of people rounded up by the FBI for just being in the vicinity of the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Senator Cotton: Secret Service Did Not Ask Hunter Biden About Cocaine Found In WH. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said during an interview over the weekend that the U.S. Secret Service does not appear to have asked President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, about the cocaine that was found in the White Houses earlier this month. Cotton made the remarks during an interview with Shannon Bream on Fox News' "Fox News Sunday" when asked about what the latest developments in the case are. "We've got no answers," Cotton said in response to the letter that he sent to the Secret Service. "That's not surprising. The Secret Service is a troubled agency as it's long had challenges. It probably needs new leadership."

The Editor says...
"It probably needs new leadership" doesn't sound like sufficient outrage to me.

Secret Service never interviewed obvious suspects in cocaine probe. The White House has its own police department, the U.S. Secret Service. And it probably has more surveillance and tighter security than most buildings worldwide. Still, a report from NPR reveals the Secret Service says it may never be known who left cocaine there. The investigation into the discovery of cocaine in the White House now has been closed, as were two earlier investigations into the discovery of marijuana left in the White House. "The cocaine was found on July 2 in a vestibule off the lobby of a lower-level West Wing entrance, stashed in a cubbyhole near the Situation Room, where officials store cellphones during meetings," the report said.

Dan Bongino: Secret Service Agents Are 'Absolutely Furious' Over Sham Cocaine Investigation: "They Know Exactly Who It Was". Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino said he spoke to some of his former colleagues in the Secret Service and they are absolutely furious about the agency's cocaine 'investigation.' The Secret Service closed its investigation into the Biden White House cocaine scandal without conducting any interviews. The Secret Service last Thursday concluded its investigation into the cocaine scandal that rocked the White House earlier this month.

Ex-Secret Service Agent Getting Texts From Former Colleagues: 'They Know Exactly' Who Brought Cocaine to WH. This whitewash will not make the scandal disappear. The Great White House Cocaine Mystery of 2023 may have been publicly dismissed by the Secret Service, but former Secret Service agent Don Bongino refuses to let it expire without a fight. Neither are some of the former agents with whom he served. In an interview published on Twitter by The Daily Signal reporter Mary Margaret Olohan on Sunday, Bongino stated that his social network of fellow agents had been texting and emailing him since the explosive discovery of cocaine in the White House on July 2 made international headlines. "They are absolutely furious about this," he said. "I got 50 emails, communications, texts from people. 'This is embarrassing. Humiliating ... They know exactly who it was.'"

Secret Service refused to interview any of 500 suspects in White House cocaine scandal. The Secret Service announced this week that the agency has finished its investigation into the mysterious baggie of cocaine that was found in the White House earlier this month with finding the culprit. The agency said that the case was closed due to a lack of forensic evidence coupled with the fact that the class A drug was found an area in which around 500 people passed through at the time it was believed to have been discarded. It was determined by the agency that because the cocaine amounted to around 0.007 ounces, meaning it would only be a misdemeanor offense in the District of Columbia, it would be a waste of public resources to interview 500 people.

Nobody believes this:
Kirby Says Investigators 'Did The Best They Could' To Track Down White House Cocaine Suspect. The investigation into the origin of the cocaine found in the White House was "the best" the Secret Service could do, despite not identifying a suspect, a top Biden administration official says. John Kirby, the coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council, told Fox News host Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday" that at the end of the probe, there wasn't enough "forensic evidence" to pinpoint the perpetrator. On July 2, a bag of cocaine was discovered in a lobby of the West Wing. "I can't really speak to the investigation that was done by the Secret Service," Kirby said when Bream asked him, "What if it was something more dangerous?" "They did the best they could to track down how it got there and who it might have belonged to and they just were not able to come up with any forensic evidence that proves it," Kirby added.

Cocainegate: Reporter Points Out Hunter Biden Has Relapsed 10 Times. This week the Biden White House closed its short-lived investigation into finding the culprit who brought cocaine into the West Wing of the president's corridors- despite the Secret Service declining to interview over 500 suspects. Speculation has swirled around who may be guilty, with many suggesting President Joe Biden's drug and prostitute-addicted son Hunter Biden may be at fault. Investigative reporter Paul Sperry made several observations about Hunter's booze-filled days — which apparently aren't over. Sperry detailed Hunter's failed rehab stints which reportedly started in 2003, relapsing at least ten times. "Hunter Biden, whose addiction to coke started @ 18 when he was arrested for possession before getting kicked out of the Navy Reserve for testing (+) for coke, claims "the itch to use is gone." Yet Hunter has relapsed ten times. Here's a chron of all his failed rehabs," Sperry tweeted. [Tweet]

Biden Waves His Magic Wand and Makes $39 Billion in Student Loan Debt Disappear. With a disinterested flick of his magic wand, Biden has been able to make $39 billion in student loan debt disappear. How can he do this, you might ask? Like all magic tricks, it's a big secret. But we know how he didn't do it: He didn't ask Congress to pass a bill forgiving the debt. That sort of thing is only important to old fuddy-duddy conservatives who think when the Supreme Court says the president can't forgive $400 billion in student loan debt, they mean it. The Biden administration imposed a moratorium on the repayment of student loan debt in March 2021. But that doesn't mean that the borrowers weren't paying back the money. Biden used more magic to make all those monthly payments disappear.

Disgraced Democrat Defends the Naked Images Found on Hunter Biden's Laptop. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) made a fool out of himself after getting into a public spat with House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), defending the naked photos of women that were found on Hunter Biden's laptop. During a hearing with FBI Director Christopher Wray this week, Swalwell argued that there is no proof the nude images on Hunter's laptop were not consensual — despite a field day of evidence that Republicans say could have impacted the outcome of the 2020 elections. The disgraced Democrat said it is "bananas" to think the suppression of the abandoned laptop discovery by liberal media outlets influenced the election, arguing the GOP has turned into the "party of non-consensual nudes."

Democrats' Profound Problem: Everyone's Mad at Joe Biden, at Home and Abroad. Domestically, despite cooling inflation, just 30% of Americans say they agree with Democrats' economic policy, while 42% prefer the Republicans' approach. With the economy consistently ranking as the most important issue for voters, Americans' pessimism — coupled with Biden's consistently low approval ratings on the economy — figures to be a considerable problem as he seeks a second term. Moreover, Hispanic voters — a critical Democratic constituency — are angry at the perceived leftward shift of today's Democratic Party. Compared to 2018, the 2022 midterms saw a 10-point jump in Hispanic support for the GOP, according to exit polls and Edison research. In fact, the research shows that Hispanic support for Democrats in 2022 was the lowest it has been since the 1990s.

What happens if the 25th Amendment is invoked on dementia-ridden Biden? Because the 25th has never been invoked, there is some confusion about whether or not a new vice president would need to be appointed. [...] While all the "duties and powers" (Section 4) of the presidency devolve upon the Acting President, there is no vacancy in the office of Vice President. So, there is no need or ability to appoint a new Vice President.

Tucker Carlson Shreds White House Over Cocaine Fiasco. Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson laid into President Joe Biden's administration on Saturday, mocking the White House over the recent discovery of cocaine near the Situation Room — and the subsequent "failure" to find the culprit. Carlson appeared to deliver the remarks off the cuff, responding from the stage at Turning Point USA's Action Conference in Florida when someone in the audience shouted, "coke in the White House!" [...] "What did you say?" Carlson asked. "I said coke in the White House!" the person repeated. "I don't know what — you know what — the thing about that story, it's just a mystery to me," Carlson began sarcastically, prompting laughter from the crowd. "No one was more shocked than I was. Are you serious? In the Biden White House, somebody left an eight-ball of cocaine in a public ... I was like, I said to my wife, 'That's just not in character. You know? I just don't believe it.'" Carlson continued in that same vein, pausing occasionally as the crowd continued to laugh.

Donald Trump mocks White House's insistence no one saw who left cocaine in West Wing. Former President Donald Trump mocked the White House's revelation that the investigation into how cocaine came to be found in the West Wing was to be closed because of a 'lack of evidence'. Speaking at Turning Point Action in Florida on Saturday evening, the 2024 Republican presidential candidate poured cold water on suggestions that there were no cameras that might have witnessed the culprit to whom the drugs belonged to. 'The White House just announced they dropped the investigation into the West Wing cocaine scandal of just a few days,' Trump began, recounting the news.

Top Democrats Reach Out To Potential Biden Replacements, Claim He's Not Running. Top Democrats are reportedly reaching out to rising stars in the party and are telling them that President Joe Biden is not running for re-election. CNN reported that the "top Democrats and donors" have reached out to "possible replacements" for Biden and had conversations about them getting in the race as Biden struggles in the White House. Numerous polls have shown Biden struggles against the top two Republican Party presidential candidates — former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Those who are placing the calls to the prospective Democrat candidates are telling them that despite what 80-year-old Biden has said, and despite launching his campaign, he actually will not run for president. Biden's team pushed back, saying that he was absolutely running and that he was taking campaign preparations seriously.

We're Not Corrupt, We're Incompetent!: White House Cocaine Cold Case Is Laughable. During a scandal, it's never a good look when an organization's defense can be summarized as, "We're not corrupt, we're incompetent!" Yet, that's exactly where the Secret Service finds itself after concluding its cocaine investigation that yielded zero leads. Somehow, in "the most secure building in the entire world," with an annual budget of about $3 billion and roughly 8,000 employees, per fiscal 2023 levels, the Secret Service cannot figure out who left that baggie of booger sugar. Fingerprints are impossible to obtain for some reason and video footage is apparently inadequate. So, how it snowed in July in Washington, D.C. will remain a mystery.

The Editor says...
It never was much of a mystery. If there are no fingerprints on the little plastic bag, which is all but impossible, and if the surveillance video offers no clues, which is not believable, then all you have to do is round up all the known cocaine addicts in the White House and ask them about it. Since (I presume) a known cocaine addict can't get a job at the White House or access to it, that narrows the search down to one person. And apparently, that one person has the surname that must be protected at all costs. This is the least credible government investigation since the Warren Commission.

The most disturbing Biden weirdness yet. Joe Biden's dementia is rapidly advancing and the nation is in great peril. Proof of his decline came in a creepy moment during his brief visit to Helsinki, where he assaulted (that is the proper word) a child, a little girl who happened to attract his eye in a crowd. He walked over to her, put his mouth on her back and appeared to rapidly flick his tongue on her, through the fabric of her dress. [...] Face it: if an elderly loved one of yours behaved this way with a little girl he had never met, you would do something to keep him in a situation where he cannot do such things again. Perhaps a care facility for those similarly afflicted, or perhaps home care under supervision, if possible. Allowing this to continue puts the public and the elder at risk.

Boebert Throws Fuel on White House Cocaine Fire. The White House is touted as one of the most secure buildings on the planet. Federal law enforcement officers are everywhere, and the Secret Service rules the roost. Nothing happens there that the feds don't know about because they have to protect the leader of the free world. Unless you're a druggie with a bag of coke or pot in your pocket. Yes, there are more cases of drugs in the White House than the public was told thanks to the secrecy of the men in black. That secure building appears to be open for drug users like a rave party on a Saturday night.

Secret Service Investigation into CocaineGate Concludes With No Suspect Identified. The U.S. Secret Service (USSS) announced Thursday that it had concluded its investigation into the cocaine found at the White House and was unable to identify a suspect. The "dime bag" was found inside a vestibule leading to the lobby area of the West Executive Avenue entrance to the White House on July 2. The drug had been placed inside a receptacle or "cubby" used to temporarily store electronic and personal devices prior to entering the West Wing, the Secret Service said in a statement. Following the discovery, the packaging was sent to the FBI's crime laboratory for "advanced fingerprint and DNA analysis," according to the USSS statement.

Report Contradicts Secret Service Claim No Fingerprints Were Found on White House Cocaine Baggie. Officials at the White House know who brought cocaine into the White House and have confirmed that finding via fingerprint analysis, according to a report which contradicts a statement released by the Secret Service. A security source told Soldier of Fortune magazine, "We know who handled it... We've known since last week."

The View Claims Republicans 'Planted' the Cocaine in the White House. Those stealthy Republican ninjas were at it again! Earlier this year, the Cackling Coven of ABC's The View claimed Republicans were "behind" the classified documents found in President Biden's Delaware garage. Now, on Friday, they were claimed Republicans infiltrated the White House and "planted" cocaine in the West Wing to "advance the Hunter Biden narrative." At least that's what Joy Behar and Ana Navarro wanted people to believe. In an attempt to deflect attention away from the possibility that someone in the administration or the Biden family was the perpetrator, racist co-host Sunny Hostin claimed, without evidence, that the cocaine came from "a tourist, a stupid tourist, a guest, somebody like that." But while Hostin was quipping about how the person "left their stash," Behar was busy wondering: "Maybe it was planted, or do I sound paranoid?"

The Editor says...
Yes, paranoid. You said it. But stop and think for a moment: If this allegation had any merit (and it doesn't), the video footage and fingerprint evidence would be all over the news by now.

The White House can find Bin Laden lurking in a remote Pakistan compound, but not a cocaine culprit under its nose. Make no mistake: The Biden administration is laughing at us. We are meant to believe that the United States Secret Service, tasked with protecting the very life of the president, cannot crack the case of who left cocaine in a secure, hard-to-access part of the White House — despite facial recognition cameras, guest-book logs and security all over the most protected building in the Western world. The cover-up, as the Nixon-era saying goes, is always worse than the crime.

'This Is A Cover-Up': Nikki Haley Lays Out List Of White House Cocaine Suspects. Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said Friday that "someone very close" to President Joe Biden was responsible for the cocaine found in the White House. The Secret Service confirmed that a quantity of cocaine was discovered in the White House prior to July 4, prompting an evacuation and the deployment of hazardous materials teams. The investigation concluded Thursday without discovering the identity of the person responsible for leaving the illegal drug in the White House.

Secret Service sacrificing its reputation to protect drug offender in the White House. Another formerly revered federal agency joins in disgrace the politicized FBI, IRS, and Department of Justice. The Secret Service took just 11 days to close its investigation of the class A illegal drug, cocaine, found in the White House with a figurative shrug of the shoulders and a mumbled "I dunno." Following a classified briefing for members of Congress, the federal protective agency issued an official statement claiming: ["]There was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area. Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered. At this time, the Secret Service's investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence.["] This does not pass the giggle test. Taking only 11 days to investigate a very serious matter like this and then closing the investigation without interrogating and drug testing the very limited number of people who could have left anything in the locker in question bespeaks a desire to avoid finding the culprit. Considering the vast ongoing effort to identify anyone who could have approached the Capitol on January 6, 2021, the lack of curiosity, paucity of resources employed, and the speed in wrapping up the investigation with no suspect, there is no other conclusion than a cover up is likely underway.

The Secret Service Gives Up. After an 11-day alleged investigation, the Secret Service announced today that it cannot identify the person who left cocaine in the White House. The Service says that there were no usable finger prints on the bag that held the cocaine, and not enough DNA for an identification. So the investigation is being closed. No one is going to buy this. The general area is under video surveillance, and there is a log of people who enter the West Wing. There are a maximum of several hundred possible suspects; this apparently is the explanation of why there is not more helpful surveillance video: [...]

Veteran feds cry foul on White House cocaine probe: 'This is a cover-up'. The conclusion of an 11-day Secret Service probe that failed to find which White House staff member or visitor left cocaine in the West Wing looks like a whitewash, former federal investigators told The [New York] Post Thursday. "This is a cover-up. How can they say they have no leads?" one ex-agent said. "It is a restricted area and they have a log book, you don't have to be Columbo to figure out who was there. "Suppose it was anthrax," the same person raged. "Would they have the same answer?" "We have a tale of two countries," another former fed said. "They identified hundreds of people who were in the Capitol building on Jan. 6 after an extensive investigation, but they don't know who left something in an 8 x 10 room in the White House?" The Secret Service concluded its inquiry Thursday without identifying a suspect, citing "a lack of physical evidence" after FBI forensic testing yielded no fingerprints and insufficient DNA evidence.

The case of the missing fingerprint. Sherlock Holmes famously found a clue in the dog that didn't bark in The Hound of the Baskervilles. I wonder if we may have a similar clue in the explanation offered by the Secret Service for dropping its investigation into the cocaine found in the White House after only 11 days, with no drug testing of suspects? In its official announcement that the case is closed and will forever remain a mystery, the Secret Service avers: ["]The packaging was subjected to advanced fingerprint and DNA analysis. Both of these analyses were conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's crime laboratory given their expertise in this area and independence from the investigation. (snip) On July 12, the Secret Service received the FBI's laboratory results, which did not develop latent fingerprints and insufficient DNA was present for investigative comparisons.["] How is it possible to handle a plastic baggie and not leave a fingerprint, or at least a fragment or trace of one? Was the perp wearing gloves? In early July in sweltering DC? If so, wouldn't this have been noticed by the many guards and recorded on the video surveillance? Did the perp stop in front the cubby or locker (it has been identified as both) and put on rubber gloves like a surgeon preparing for an operation? Or [m]aybe, he or she pulled the package from a pocket [u]sing tweezers?

Could This Be Why the Secret Service Ended Its Investigation into Cocainegate? Last night, Fox News host Jessie Watters, like the rest of the nation, couldn't stomach the United States Secret Service's conclusion that it couldn't figure out who brought cocaine into the White House. The law enforcement agency has the names of 500 individuals in or around the vestibule where the drugs were discovered, but supposedly no video evidence that can zero in on a person of interest. Due to the lack of a solid suspect, the agency is closing its investigation. Katie had more on this yesterday. She included the statement from the Secret Service: [Tweet]

White House cocaine investigation concluded, no suspect ID'd: Secret Service. The Secret Service has ended its investigation into cocaine found earlier this month in the West Wing of the White House without identifying a suspect, GOP members of the House Oversight Committee told The Post Thursday. Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) stormed out of a briefing offered to lawmakers moments after it began, calling the conclusion "bogus" and the investigation a "complete failure." "They know who goes in the White House. They have facial identification, they have — y'all know you can't go in there without giving your Social Security number anyway, and to say that it's just some weekend visitor, that's bogus," Burchett said. "Nobody's buying that at all." Republican lawmakers confirmed that roughly one gram of the illicit drug was found July 2 in a storage locker inside the West Wing executive entrance, and that no cameras were in position to capture footage of the culprit.

Secret Service Ends White House Cocaine Investigation by Insulting Everyone's Intelligence. The U.S. Secret Service has ended its investigation into the bag of cocaine found at the White House. As RedState reported, the illicit drugs were originally found on July 2nd, and the story kept morphing from there. At first, the cocaine was claimed to have been "near" the White House (and that it wasn't regular cocaine). A day later, a report came out that it was actually found in the White House Library with the implication being that a tourist left it behind. Next, we were told that the drugs were found at the West Executive Entrance. Lastly, the White House came out and said the baggie was placed in a cubby used to deposit electronic devices, with the blame being pointed at construction workers. In other words, the entire situation has been an incoherent mess with a constantly changing narrative. That has made many suspicious and for good reason. Why would anyone believe anything the Biden administration has to say after taking people on that wild ride? Sure enough, in a move that isn't going to quell any doubts, the Secret Service has now concluded its "investigation" into the matter.

Biden Busted With More Climate Hypocrisy. Joe Biden is on the last day of his European trip in Helsinki, Finland for the U.S.-Nordic Leaders' Summit. He's been having a difficult time, being led around by the other foreign leaders, even with them having to physically move him into place. [...] But one of the other points of Biden's trip was to talk about climate change. As he explained on his last day in Lithuania, "We all must summon the common will to address the existential threat." [Tweet with video clip] "It's real! It's serious! We don't have a lot of time! It's the, the single greatest threat to humanity!" Biden trumpeted. In Helsinki, he reiterated the emergency, albeit in a calmer tone. [Tweet with video clip] [...] So I have a question for Joe Biden. If it's such an emergency that we all must get on board with addressing it, why were you tooling around Helsinki in a huge 39-car gas-guzzling motorcade? They fly the huge SUVs in, too, requiring more planes, not just Air Force One. [...] If we all must summon the common will, why doesn't he start first? Why must all the regular people comply with his dictates, but not him? Kind of makes you think he truly doesn't believe the end is near.

Joe Biden [is] on vacation 39.2% of the time. Since being installed in the White House on Jan. 20, 2021, Joe Biden has been on vacation 353 days, or 39.2 percent of the time, according to RNC Research. His favorite place for getaways from his handlers is on the beach near his holiday home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. That spot is so near and dear to the 80-year-old Biden that he has spent nearly a half million dollars of taxpayer money building a security barrier around it. As Breitbart News reported, the president build the fence around his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. In August of last year, Biden was recorded as having spent a record 150 days at home in Delaware since he was installed in the White House, Breitbart News reported. In 2021, Biden was vacationing at Camp David as the world watched Kabul, Afghanistan fall to the Taliban.

GOP Doctor: Biden Has Classic Sign of Dementia, But There's Something More Obvious on the Outside. GOP Rep. Greg Murphy, a licensed M.D., doesn't think President Joe Biden is mentally fit or "running the show," instead acting as "a puppet for a progressive left committee." But at least he's looking younger than his years doing it. In an interview with Fox Business this week, the North Carolina congressman said Biden is exhibiting the telltale signs of aging — but is also clearly trying to fend off those signs, at least outwardly, through plastic surgery.

Republicans erupt over 2015 email exposing 'ultimate purpose' of Hunter's involvement with Burisma. Republican lawmakers erupted Tuesday after learning about a 2015 email chain that predated President Biden's infamous 2015 trip to Ukraine, when a Burisma Holdings executive revealed the "ultimate purpose" of Hunter Biden's involvement with the Ukrainian energy company. One month before then-Vice President Joe Biden traveled to Ukraine, where he threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid if Ukrainian leaders did not fire their top prosecutor, Hunter Biden and Burisma executives were discussing executing a contract for counter-messaging against any federal investigations into Burisma's founder and then-president, Mykola Zlochevsky.

Stephen Miller says Joe Biden is responsible for more child sex slaves than any man on Earth. Joe Biden is a man with a very troubled worldwide reputation when it comes to children and how he inappropriately interacts with them. [Video clip] The left dismisses these concerns regarding Joe's interactions with children, insisting that he is simply displaying a "loving grandfatherly" demeanor. However, the endless streams of videos suggests otherwise. [Tweet with video clip] So, it's not surprising that Trump loyalist Stephen Miller has said out loud what many have been thinking about Joe Biden's dismal record protecting children. Miller claims that Joe Biden is responsible for more trafficked children than any other man on Earth.

"Smells like a coverup". You've probably been following the constantly evolving story of the whistleblowers who are contradicting statements made by Merrick Garland (sometimes under oath), Christopher Wray, and David Weiss. The story we were told about the investigation(s) into the actions of Hunter Biden and the lack of investigations into "The Big Guy" has come under more and more scrutiny. When the stories don't match, somebody is either lying or incompetent, possibly both. But three committees in the House continue to tunnel into the evidence in search of the truth. Now, Speaker Kevin McCarthy has taken the next step on this journey and is saying aloud what we've all been thinking in a new op-ed for the New York Post. When this many pieces of the puzzle refuse to fit together for this long, "it smells like a cover-up."

The pee tape vs. the bribe tape. [There is] growing frustration among Capitol Hill Republicans about the FBI's apparent reluctance to investigate an allegation, from a trusted bureau confidential source, that Joe Biden accepted a multimillion-dollar bribe when he was vice president. GOP lawmakers are not vouching for the allegation's accuracy. They're not saying it's true. Instead, they're saying it is a serious charge and that it should be seriously investigated. They believe the FBI has suppressed, rather than investigated, the matter, and they are growing impatient with what they see as disparate treatment by the FBI in this case versus a sensational allegation against former President Donald Trump back in 2016-2017.

Republicans Melt Down Over Smoking Gun Hunter Biden Email That Gives Away the Game. We've been covering the questionable activities of the Bidens and the Hunter Biden laptop now for four years. I'm gratified that we suddenly have more folks in the media and politicians paying attention. Fox just reported about a Nov. 2, 2015 email "first on Fox" that is getting a lot of attention from Republicans because it screams "smoking gun" and shows that Hunter Biden and Burisma executives were talking about getting counter-messaging against any federal investigations into Burisma's founder and then president, Mykola Zlochevsky. But we wrote about the email back in October 2020, as did others. Their purpose, as Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi said in engaging the lobbying firm Blue Star, was to help to shut down any cases/pursuits against Burisma and Zlochevsky. [Tweet]

Pre-Emptive Presidential Pardons for Joe and Hunter Biden. As the revelations of potential bribery, bank fraud and tax evasion swirl around Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, both men, who are increasingly appearing together, seem extraordinary calm and unconcerned in public as Joe flashes his signature supercilious and mocking smirk whenever he is asked about the various investigation into his and his son's activities over the past 12 years. Thanks to pre-emptive presidential pardons, Joe knows that he, Hunter, and the family will never have to answer for any of their alleged egregious criminality. The Supreme Court has ruled that a president can issue a pardon before charges have been filed.

FBI Director Wray Doesn't Confirm or Deny if Joe Biden Is Under Investigation for Alleged Burisma Bribes. FBI Director Christopher Wray did not confirm or deny if President Joe Biden is under investigation for alleged bribes from an executive at Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company that paid Hunter Biden $83,000 per month for a board position. While testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Tom Tiffany (R-WI) asked Wray if Joe Biden accepted payments from Burisma and whether he is under investigation for the alleged bribe of $5 million. "Did Joe Biden take payments from Burisma or any other foreign companies as vice president, President, or as a private citizen Biden?" Tiffany asked.

Representative Matt Gaetz Has Fiery Exchange with FBI Director Chris Wray Asking, "Are You Protecting the Bidens?". Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) expresses a great deal of contempt for FBI Director Chris Wray during questioning today. From the topic of FBI conduct in the Hunter Biden investigation to the FBI surveillance of American citizens through unauthorized and illegal database searches, Matt Gaetz goes full wolverine on the FBI director. [Video clip]

It Sure Looks Like U.S. Attorney David Weiss Has Been Obstructing the Hunter Biden Investigation. When transcripts of IRS whistleblower testimony were released last month, with the startling claims that U.S. Attorney David Weiss told IRS supervisory special agent Gary Shapley that he wasn't the one making the decisions on filing criminal charges against Hunter Biden, that he had been denied the ability to file charges in both Washington, D.C. and California, and that he had been denied Special Counsel authority, it certainly seemed that all of the assurances Attorney General Merrick Garland had given Congress about Weiss having full authority to investigate and prosecute were bunk. Garland repeatedly told Congress under oath that Weiss had unrestricted authority, but Shapley's testimony, also under oath, and contemporaneous emails told a different story.

World's Shortest Book: 'The Promises I Kept,' By President Joe Biden. During his 2020 presidential campaign, Joe Biden tweeted that "we need to restore honor and decency to the White House." On his first day in office, he promised to "bring transparency and truth back to government." For anyone keeping score, both of these promises bit the dust after cocaine was discovered in the White House and the Secret Service started stonewalling the public about the details. This comes days after Biden let "transgenders" parade around topless on the White House lawn while he desecrated the American flag, and years into running what is widely described as the most opaque administration in history. Decency and transparency? What a laugh. They are just the two of the growing list of campaign promises — big and small — on which Biden has failed to deliver. If anything, he's on track to set an all-time record for broken promises.

IRS Whistleblowers Rightfully Blame Assistant U.S. Attorneys In The District of Delaware For Showing Favoritism to Hunter Biden. The two whistleblowers, both criminal investigators with more than a decade of experience each, came forward with their information to the House Ways and Means Committee, which has primary oversight responsibility for the IRS. The information they can lawfully provide as whistleblowers is limited by the statute under which they are authorized to disclose information to Congress. What Congress chooses to do with the information is up to Congress. Here the two IRS criminal investigators sat for transcribed interviews with Committee staffers behind closed doors. One was the Case Agent who started the investigation of Hunter Biden as a spin-off from a much larger investigation into internet porn and prostitution, and the other was the Supervisor of the IRS Group running the investigation. The members of the Ways and Means Committee who voted to release the transcripts to the public. Every Republican member of the Committee voted in favor of releasing the transcripts. Every Democrat member of the Committee voted to keep the information secret — hidden from the scrutiny of the American public and media.

The deceit behind Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal gets even more audacious by the day. Thanks to the media-Democrat complex's partisanship, it also gets tougher to pierce — which, of course, is the point. Delaware US attorney David Weiss is in a vice of DOJ's own making. Credible IRS investigators, including supervisory agent Gary Shapley, have reported that he told several law-enforcement officials connected to the Biden investigation that he was not the ultimate decision-maker regarding whether Biden would be charged, that he was being thwarted by other Biden-appointed US attorneys in Washington, DC, and California (the two districts with venue over tax charges) and that the Biden Justice Department, led by Attorney General Merrick Garland, had refused his request to be appointed as a special counsel. On the other hand, Garland, who is Weiss' boss, has insisted — preposterously — that Weiss has always been the ultimate decision-maker and that all he needed to do was ask Garland for any extra authority he needed to file charges wherever he thought appropriate. Garland claims he was never asked.

Biden slammed over campaign ad bragging 'I'll always answer a call from my grandchildren' after disowning granddaughter. Joe Biden has been slammed over one of his advertisements during his 2020 campaign, where he bragged that he'll 'always answer a call from my grandchildren.' The president, 80, has disowned one of his granddaughters, who was born after Biden's son Hunter had a fling with a former stripper named Lunden Roberts. Biden infamously said earlier this year that he has 'six grandchildren,' completely ignoring Arkansas-based Navy Joan Roberts, who is his seventh.

Joe Biden's Criminal Behavior Risks National Security, Justifies Impeachment. The walls have closed in on Hunter Biden, the president's beleaguered son whose shady business activities grow more nefarious by the day. Some semblance of accountability recently came in the form of a guilty plea, when Hunter admitted to federal tax evasion. Based on the Justice Department's court filings, Joe Biden's son failed to pay taxes in a timely matter for the years 2017 and 2018, owing at least $200,000 in total. While the exact sentence remains unclear, a slap on the wrist is most likely. No punishment has been administered for Hunter's nefarious business dealings with foreign governments in China, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, and other countries. So the walls have really only closed in a bit. Despite countless millions of dollars being at stake in moves that potentially jeopardized U.S. national security, Hunter continues to duck responsibility — emboldened by a Washington establishment that fails to look closer at the evidence.

Biden Admin Indicts Witness Planning to Testify Against Biden Family. According to an indictment in Manhattan that was unsealed on Monday, Dr. Gal Luft, a key witness in the House Republicans' investigation into the Biden Crime Family, is now facing federal charges. The charges include arms trafficking, operating as an unregistered lobbyist for China, and conspiring to evade U.S. sanctions on Iran. [...] Luft says the case against him is a political hit job designed to stop him from testifying before the House Oversight Committee over the payments made to the Biden family from people connected to Chinese military intelligence. Luft also says that the Bidens had a mole in the FBI who shared classified information with those Chinese nationals in the CCP-controlled energy company China Energy Fund Committee (CEFC).

Hunter Biden, Associates Took Millions From Chinese Company That Paid 'Missing' Biden Witness Now Charged By DOJ. The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Monday charged a key witness in the investigation into alleged Biden family corruption for taking money from the same Chinese firm that paid Hunter Biden's businesses and associates millions, according to DOJ records. Gal Luft, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, allegedly "willfully" failed to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) while working to "advance the interests of China" in the U.S. by brokering the illegal sale of Chinese weapons and Iranian oil to China, according to the DOJ. The DOJ alleges that Luft's think tank, the Institute for the Analysis for Global Security, accepted at least $700,000 from CEFC China Energy beginning in 2015, which happens to be the same Chinese firm that allegedly sent millions to accounts linked to Hunter Biden and his associates, in 2017, according to a Senate committee report and a Washington Post review of Biden documents.

Tapes? Who uses tape anymore?
Grassley Blasts the FBI For Hiding the 17 Smoking Gun Tapes Incriminating Joe Biden in Bribery Scheme. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow that the FBI is stonewalling his efforts to obtain the 17 smoking gun tapes incriminating Joe Biden in a bribery scheme involving a Ukrainian oligarch. Joe Biden refuses to answer questions about a bribery scheme alleging he received a $5 million bribe from Mykola Zlochevsky, the Ukrainian oligarch who runs Burisma Holdings. Last month Grassley revealed Mykola Zlochevsky said he kept 17 audio recordings of conversations with Joe Biden (2) and Hunter Biden (15) as an insurance policy.

Democrats' crippling whataboutism on Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden is constantly being discussed in conservative circles. Whether it be allegations of corruption, stories of far-from-mysterious cocaine in the White House, or children no one wants to acknowledge, we apparently just can't stop talking about 53-year-old Hunter Biden. Not only are we supposedly incapable of moving on from poor, innocent Hunter (according to legacy media), our complaints of his ongoing relationship with President Joe Biden are deemed irrelevant, with this label of irrelevance applied to anyone who dares to speak out against the regime. This applies even to New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who recently slammed Joe Biden for refusing to acknowledge his illegitimate grandchild, the product of an affair between Hunter Biden and a then-stripper, in a column titled, "It's Seven Grandkids, Mr. President."

Whistleblower Boss Confirmed David Weiss Didn't Have Authority to Charge Hunter Biden. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley's boss, Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon, confirmed U.S. Prosecutor David Weiss did not have authority to charge Hunter Biden, emails obtained by House Republicans show. Although Weiss maintains he did have authority to charge Hunter Biden, Waldon confirmed via email that Shapley's notes were correct from an October 7, 2022, meeting between Waldon, Shapley, and Weiss, among others. "Darrell asked me to shoot an update from today's meeting. Darrell — feel free to comment if I miss anything," the top line of the email read.

Grassley highlighted the numerous ways Delaware Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf appeared to have obstructed the investigation into Hunter Biden's potentially criminal business activities. A Delaware assistant U.S. attorney was briefed in October 2020 that a confidential human source (CHS) had reported Hunter and Joe Biden each received $5 million in bribes, Sen. Chuck Grassley revealed Sunday in a letter to Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss. A source familiar with that briefing has now confirmed to The Federalist that the Pittsburgh office told the Delaware office the CHS's reporting appeared credible and merited further investigation. That added detail increases the significance of Grassley's Sunday letter and his question to Weiss about whether his deputy thwarted the investigation. "On October 23, 2020, Justice Department and FBI Special Agents from the Pittsburgh Field Office briefed Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf, one of your top prosecutors, and FBI Special Agents from the Baltimore Field Office with respect to the contents of the FBI-generated FD-1023 alleging a criminal bribery scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and Hunter Biden," Grassley's letter said. "What steps have the Justice Department and FBI taken to investigate the allegations?" the Iowa senator asked before noting his concerns about Wolf's involvement.

Hunter Biden prosecutor received October 2020 briefing on claims Joe and his son received $5 million each in bribes. A top attorney prosecuting Hunter Biden was briefed about allegations Joe and his son received $5 million each in bribes, but didn't investigate and left IRS investigators out of the meeting, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley has claimed. According to a letter obtained by DailyMail.com that Grassley sent to Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss - who is prosecuting Hunter Biden for federal gun and tax crimes - the senator alleges obstruction of the Hunter probe by one of his top prosecutors, Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf. Grassley says that according to IRS whistleblowers, Wolf 'prevented investigators from seeking information about Joe Biden's involvement in Hunter Biden's criminal business arrangements.' Whistleblower Gary Shapley specifically stated that Wolf 'discouraged' investigators from pursuing Joe Biden-connected leads, including by thwarting a search warrant request of Biden's Delaware guest house due to bad 'optics,' and that the prosecutor said there was 'no specific criminality.'

DOJ indicts missing man who claims to have provided FBI with info on Biden family's China business dealings. A fugitive who claimed to have provided the FBI with information on the Biden family's business dealings in China is facing decades behind bars for alleged arms trafficking and other charges involving Iran. Gal Luft, a 57-year-old dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, is charged with acting as an unregistered agent of China and seeking to broker the sale of Iranian oil in violation of sanctions, federal prosecutors in Manhattan said on Monday. The indictment also accuses Luft of recruiting and paying a former high-ranking U.S. government official on behalf of principals based in China in 2016, without registering as a foreign agent as required by law.

Is anybody surprised by this? Who wants to be the next whistleblower?
Biden DOJ Indicts Whistleblower Gal Luft Days After He Releases Video Detailing Criminal Allegations Against Biden Crime Family. The Justice Department indicted Biden corruption whistleblower, Gal Luft on Monday just one week after he released a video detailing criminal allegations against the Biden Crime Family. [...] Missing Biden corruption whistleblower Dr. Gal Luft released a 14-minute video to The New York Post on Thursday detailing [serious] allegations against Joe Biden and his family in a massive international bribery scheme filmed in an undisclosed location while on the run from the Biden regime and Department of Justice.

David Weiss: FBI Informant File Alleging Biden Bribes [is] a Part of [an] Ongoing Investigation. United States Attorney David Weiss admitted the FBI informant form alleging the Biden family bribes is part of an ongoing investigation. According to House Oversight Committee Republicans who reviewed the bureau's FD-1023 form, an FBI informant claims to possess two pieces of evidence that show President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden received $5 million each from Mykola Zlochevsky after Joe Biden threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine until a prosecutor was fired.

Rep. Matt Rosendale Backs Impeaching Biden, Expunging Trump Impeachments. Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) has officially voiced support for two major impeachment initiatives from his GOP colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives, Breitbart News has learned. Rosendale's office confirmed to Breitbart News that he supports efforts to impeach Democrat President Joe Biden. His office also confirmed that he backs the measure from Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to expunge both of former President Donald Trump's impeachments.

Questions Over Hunter Biden Probe Swirl Around Prosecutor Lesley Wolf. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf is a central figure in the investigation into Hunter Biden and is alleged to have stymied investigators and aided the Biden family. Wolf is the subject of a letter Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, sent to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, David Weiss, on Sunday. Wolf worked directly beneath Weiss on the Department of Justice and IRS probe into Biden's overseas business dealings and tax affairs. In addition to other allegations about Wolf's role in the probe, Grassley's letter revealed an October 2020 briefing that Wolf allegedly received from the Department of Justice and FBI. The alleged briefing covered information the FBI obtained from a confidential human source alleging a foreign bribery scheme involving Biden and his father, President Joe Biden.

White House has still not named the cocaine culprit a week after drugs were discovered. More than a week after the Secret Service discovered cocaine at the White House it appears Americans are no closer to receiving answers on how the illicit drug made its way into one of the most secure areas in the U.S. What former officials told DailyMail.com is a 'straightforward' investigation has now entered its second week and the White House continues to brush off questions on the incident as President Joe Biden left the country Sunday for meetings in London ahead of the NATO Summit in Lithuania. The White House evacuated with a hazmat situation last Sunday, July 2 when a uniformed USSS agent found cocaine in a lockbox for cell phones outside of secure meeting areas.

Report Accuses Joe Biden of Borderline Abusive Behavior and Beyond, Reignites Questions About 2024. Alright, I think I'm convinced that there's something afoot, and a new article from Axios is cementing my perception. In the piece, which is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster given the predictable attempt to soften what was reported, Joe Biden is described as borderline abusive, and in some of the interactions described, it's fair to ask if he even crosses that line. Far from the decent, loving human being that the press has long tried to paint Biden as, he's revealed to be a vulgar, angry man with no sense of boundaries. Boundaries, I might add, that most people would get fired or sued for crossing in the real world.

Joe Biden Meets with King Charles at Windsor Castle — Can Barely Walk. On Monday Joe Biden met with King Charles at Windsor Castle. Joe Biden was visibly struggling to walk with Charles. The fake news media continues to push the joke that Joe Biden is in charge of the United States. This is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people.

Loose lips sink ships.
Biden lets American military info slip during live interview, sparking backlash. President Biden sat down for a recent interview in which he said the United States is low on 155 mm artillery ammunition rounds, sparking outrage and questions of competency from conservatives on social media. During the interview, which aired Sunday morning, Biden defended his administration for sending cluster munitions to Ukraine as a "transition period" until more munitions are produced.

The blueprint is set to end Joe Biden's shaky reign in the White House. The obvious fact that Hunter Biden is getting favored treatment from the father's Department of Justice has broken through the media's Praetorian Guard and the public doesn't like the smell of it. Although Hunter has agreed to plead guilty to two tax violations and a gun charge later this month after a supposedly five-year investigation, he'll likely avoid spending a day in prison. A sweetheart deal for a notorious family member would be political trouble for any president, but the Bidens' scandal is mushrooming now because of the sensational testimony of IRS whistleblowers. They allege Justice officials obstructed efforts to seek more serious charges against Hunter, tipped off his lawyers to searches and interviews and refused to let them probe whether Joe played a role in the family's multimillion-dollar schemes. "The criminal tax investigation of Hunter Biden has been handled differently than any investigation I've ever been a part of for the past 14 years of my IRS service," said Gary Shapley, a supervisory special agent in the Criminal Investigation unit.

Biden Has Spent Nearly 40% of His Presidency on Vacation. President Joe Biden jetted off to his home in Delaware this weekend after facing a hard week of taking naps in the Oval Office and maybe signing a paper here or there. And don't forget he has to go into hiding just in time to dodge the press before they ask him questions about the "mysterious" cocaine found at the White House. With that being said, according to a GOP count, his recent trip to Delaware means he has spent nearly 40 percent — 352 days — of his presidency on vacation. A recent Rasmussen Reports survey found that most voters don't believe the president has had nothing to do with the shady and corrupt things his family is being accused of — after denying once again that he had any involvement in his son's overseas business dealings. Forty-four percent said it is very likely that Biden was involved in Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings, while only 14 percent said "not very likely."

Of Course Hunter Biden Is A Suspect, He's A Degenerate. If you were lead investigator of a double homicide at a golf course where two decapitated bodies were found in a storage closet and you found out that OJ Simpson was on the 7th tee, you'd be smart to start your list of potential suspects with him. He does, after all, have some ties to people who've had their heads cut off before, right? The same goes for Hunter Biden when he's anywhere cocaine is discovered — it might not be his, but there's more likelihood of it being his than some grandmother from Idaho on a West Wing tour or anyone else.

This was already true in 2019.
Atlantic Writer Says 80-Year-Old President Has No Business Running for Office. Let's be honest. If your 80-year-old father, grandfather, brother, or husband was in the same physical and mental condition as Joe Biden, would you want your loved one to face the rigors associated with the job of president of the United States — much less remain in office until age 86? If Biden wins the 2024 Democrat nomination and goes on to win the election, he'll be 82 on Inauguration Day 2025 and 86 years old if he finishes a second term. That is inconceivable, particularly given Biden's steady decline, just since the 2020 primary season. His deterioration grows more evident, seemingly by the week, and attempting four more years in office would be an injustice to the American people.

Whistleblower Names Specific DOJ and FBI Officials Said To Cover Up China's Bribes of Biden.. Israeli professor Dr. Gal Luft, the "missing witness" in the Biden corruption investigation, accuses the Bidens of receiving bribes from individuals linked to Chinese military intelligence and using an FBI mole named "One Eye" to share classified information with CEFC China Energy. [...] According to Luft, he voluntarily informed the US government about a potential security breach and compromising information regarding Joe Biden, who was vying to be the next president at the time. However, instead of being recognized as a whistleblower, he claims to have now become the target of the very same people he informed. Luft asserts that his recent arrest in Cyprus was an attempt to prevent him from testifying to the House Oversight Committee about the Biden family's alleged corruption.

Dr. Gal Luft Outlines How the U.S. DOJ and FBI Deployed Agents to Protect Biden Family Against Witnesses to Biden Bribery and Corruption. Dr. Gal Luft was a direct witness to the Chinese bribery scheme between Chinese companies (CFC) and the Biden family. Dr. Luft gives a stunning video testimonial today about how he contacted the DOJ and FBI in March 2019 when Attorney General Bill Barr was in office, to report specific allegations and evidence against the Biden family.

Hunter Biden's plea hearing could be delayed as Justice Department considers 'sweetheart deal' allegations by whistleblowers. A DoJ official says the department is discussing delaying Hunter Biden's plea hearing — following a firestorm of 'sweetheart deal' allegations by whistleblowers and claims that the Attorney General lied to Congress about the Biden criminal probe. On July 26 a Delaware federal judge is set to decide whether to accept the First Son's plea deal with prosecutors over two tax misdemeanors. Republican lawmakers are calling for Judge Maryellen Noreika to toss out the 'slap on the wrist' and 'sweetheart' deal entirely, after whistleblowers from the IRS who investigated Hunter for five years say that he could instead have been charged with a raft of more serious tax and corruption crimes.

IRS Whistleblower's Attorney Slams Washington Post For Not Correcting Hunter Biden Story. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley's attorney Jason Foster publicly called out the Washington Post for not responding to a request for correction in a story the paper wrote detailing claims that Hunter Biden's attorney made about Shapley. Foster tweeted Thursday night that the Washington Post did not respond to his request for a correction about Biden attorney Abbe Lowell's assertion that Shapley leaked details of the Department of Justice's Hunter Biden investigation to the paper. The Washington Post covered Lowell's criticism of Shapley's testimony in a Wednesday article, but did not rebuke Lowell's allegation that Shapley leaked information about the Hunter Biden investigation to the Washington Post in Oct. 2022.

Here's the White House lie of the day:
Fox News press pool report contradicts claim Biden family wasn't at White House ahead of cocaine discovery. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's claim that no members of the Biden family were present at the White House in the days leading to the discovery of a bag of cocaine in the West Wing has been contradicted by the Fox News press pool report on one of those very days. According to the Friday, June 30 pool report, Biden gave remarks in the Roosevelt Room that afternoon, and didn't depart the White House for Camp David until 6:34 p.m., along with First Lady Jill Biden, Hunter Biden, and Hunter's son Beau Biden. However, Jean-Pierre claimed Friday while angrily responding to a reporter's question about whether the cocaine belonged to a member of the Biden family that they weren't present at the White House on that day.

Remember When Hunter Biden Was Kicked Out of the Navy For Testing Positive for Cocaine? With the so-called "mysterious" discovery of cocaine being found at the Biden White House this week, critics are reminding Americans that Hunter Biden was kicked out of the Navy in 2014 after failing a drug test due to the white powder being found in his system. In 2013, Hunter failed a drug test after testing positive for cocaine. However, he was not booted from the Reserve until February 2014. In true Democrat fashion, instead of taking responsibility, the president's son blamed the incident on two men from Africa. Hunter wrote a letter to the Navy Reserve explaining that he had no clue how the deadly drug entered his system. However, he tried to pin the blame on a cigarette he bummed off of two men from Africa outside a bar a few blocks from the White House.

White House Ridiculed for Invoking Campaign Law on Hunter and Joe Biden Cocaine Question. Conservatives ridiculed White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates for invoking the Hatch Act when asked about whether the cocaine found in the White House on Sunday was President Joe Biden's or Hunter Biden's. "Are you willing to say that that's not the case? That it [the cocaine] doesn't belong to them?" a reporter asked Bates on Thursday. "I don't have a response to that because we have to be careful about the Hatch Act," he claimed. The Hatch Act's main provision blocks executive branch employees "from engaging in partisan political activity while on duty, in a federal facility or using federal property," according to the DOJ.

The Hatch Act Has Absolutely Nothing To Do With Cocaine Found In White House. First, officials said the coke was found in the library, then in a public section of the West Wing lobby, and the latest version has it being found in the White House's West Executive entrance near the Situation Room. Before we get to the Hatch Act — which President Joe Biden's deputy press secretary says bars him from discussing the coke scandal — let me just note here that this is a very private entrance and not at all near where random tourists would ever find themselves. That entrance lies within the secure campus of the White House between the West Wing and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Senior staff parks in the lot there, and Vice President Kamala Harris' motorcade stages there as well. Most of the people who enter there have "hard passes," which means they have undergone a Secret Service background check to be credentialed. Sure, hard-pass holders might usher in a small group of visitors to view parts of the West Wing, but the names of every one of those people would be added to a visitor log. And lastly, you better believe there are cameras all over that entrance, not to mention uniformed Secret Service officers galore.

Republicans Call for Probe of Retaliation Against IRS Whistleblowers in Hunter Biden Case. After IRS whistleblowers alleged retaliation for their disclosures about the conduct of the Hunter Biden investigation, a top IRS official notified employees of at least some of their rights. Doug O'Donnell, deputy IRS commissioner for services and enforcement, told employees the "IRS is deeply committed to protecting the role of whistleblowers," according to an email referenced by Republican lawmakers. The email to employees, notifying them of their rights under the law, says employees can make disclosures to a supervisor, IRS management, the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General, or the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. But House and Senate Republicans note that the message "blatantly fails to provide that IRS employees have the right to make lawful disclosures to Congress," in calling for the Office of Special Counsel to investigate the matter.

Banana republic:
Hunter Biden's Prosecutor Worked for His Former Business Partner. Assistant United States Attorney Derek Hines, who previously worked for Hunter Biden's business partner, signed off on the charges, along with U.S. Attorney David Weiss, against the president's son for two federal tax violations and one violation of gun laws. Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to the charges, which Republicans characterized as a sweetheart deal. [Tweet] Hines previously worked as a special counsel to former FBI Director Louis Freeh's private company, according to his LinkedIn account. Freeh owned "Freeh Group International Solutions," a lobbying firm with ties to the Biden family business. Their relationship dates back to 2013 when Hines served as special counsel to Freeh from 2013 to 2015. Freeh is a longtime ally of the Bidens. Freeh sent $100,000 to a trust for Joe Biden's grandchildren, the New York Post reported in 2021. One month prior to the donation, Freeh inquired with Hunter about pursuing "future work options" together, with Joe Biden.

James Comer to Begin Deposing Biden Business Associates. The House Oversight Committee is set to begin deposing Biden family business associates in the coming weeks and months, Chairman James Comer (R-KY) forecast. Comer said Devon Archer, one of Hunter Biden's top associates, will be the first member deposed to unravel the family's international business schemes. A source with knowledge of the committee's schedule told Breitbart News on Thursday that Archer's lawyers are in contact with the committee about scheduling the interview.

Federal Top Men Say Finding Source of West Wing Cocaine Will Be Too Difficult. According to federal investigators familiar with the matter and talking to Politico, the person who brought cocaine into the White House is likely never to be discovered. It's just too difficult to track down. There are too many people who walk around the West Wing of the White House willy nilly. That's their story and the Top Men are sticking to it. [Video clip]

CocaineGate Update: Coke Stash Was Found in Secure Place 'Near the Situation Room' Not Accessible to 'Average People'. The bag of cocaine found in the West Wing of the White House on Sunday was discovered in "a much more secure" area than previously disclosed, NBC reported on Thursday. According to NBC's Andrea Mitchell, the White House is now claiming the cocaine was found "in a much more secure place, limited access place" than originally reported. "It's down near the Situation Room" and "average people just can't get in there," she noted. The dime-size drug bag was allegedly found in an entrance area cubby between a foyer and a lower-level lobby area, near where some official vehicles park, including the vice presidential limo.

Senator Tom Cotton Demands Secret Service Release ALL Info Related to Cocaine Found in White House. Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas is demanding that the Secret Service turn over all information regarding the cocaine recently discovered in the White House. The story about where the drugs were found keeps changing and Tom Cotton rightly calls this a national security issue. If someone can sneak illegal drugs into the White House, what is to stop someone from sneaking a much more dangerous substance into the building? The media is preparing to drop the story and move on because they want to protect Biden. Cotton is not letting it go away.

Karine Jean-Pierre Won't Say if White House Supports Prosecuting Unknown Cocaine Smuggler. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre would not say if the White House supports prosecuting the unknown cocaine White House smuggler. Speaking at Wednesday's press briefing, a reporter asked, "If the Secret Service determines who brought the cocaine into the White House, does the White House support the prosecution of this individual?" "I'm just not gonna get into hypotheticals from here. Let the Secret Service do their job. It's under their purview. We are confident that they will get to the bottom of it. I'm just not going to get ahead of this at this time," she replied. [Tweet with video clip]

The White House That Tracked Down Grannies After Capitol Riot Wants You To Believe Cocaine Caper Has Them Stumped. The White House is apparently giving up on finding who is responsible for leaving an illicit drug in the executive mansion last weekend. At least, that's what Politico reported based on the testimony of an unnamed law enforcement official. "White House cocaine culprit unlikely to be found: Law enforcement official," the headline reads. A snarky subhead noted, "Lines may have been snorted and crossed," but "it's possible we won't know by whom." Officials evacuated the White House on Sunday evening after a white powdery substance was reportedly discovered in a "work area" in the West Wing (the location later changed to "near the Situation Room"). Dispatches from the emergency crews at the scene quickly confirmed that the "unknown item" was a bag of cocaine.

White House cocaine was found near the Situation Room and NOT in the West Wing visitor entrance: Drug story changes again. A new twist has emerged in the investigation of the cocaine discovered at the White House on Sunday — it was actually found in a different location. The bag of powder was found in a cubby near the White House's West Executive entrance, not the formal West Wing lobby, NBC News reported citing multiple sources. That entrance — which is in the West Wing but on the floor below the lobby — is also a heavily trafficked area, a description White House officials have used as a way to explain their doubts the culprit will be found.

Cocainegate Just Got Even Stranger. While President Biden's spokespeople refuse to say whether the administration will be transparent with the American people about the results of the Secret Service investigation of the cocaine found in the West Wing on Sunday, those "involved" with the situation changed their story on Thursday. According to NBC News, "multiple officials involved in the White House cocaine inquiry now say the bag of powder was found in a cubby near the White House's West Executive entrance, not the formal West Wing lobby as was previously reported." So, what was stated before was either incorrect or a lie? That should help the Biden administration brush off the appearance of being engaged in some sort of cover-up... The location officials described most recently to NBC News is "an entrance area between the foyer and a lower-level lobby... near where some vehicles, like the vice president's limo or SUV park."

White House Refuses to Say Whether or Not Cocaine Belonged to Joe or Hunter Biden. White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates could not say whether or not the cocaine found at the White House on Sunday belong to Hunter or President Joe Biden, citing the Hatch Act. "Are you willing to say that that's not the case? That it [cocaine] doesn't belong to them?" a reporter asked Bates on Thursday aboard Air Force One. "I don't have a response to that because we have to be careful about the Hatch Act," he claimed. The reporter did not follow up with Bates on how the Hatch Act applied to the situation. The Hatch Act's main provision blocks executive branch employees "from engaging in partisan political activity while on duty, in a federal facility or using federal property," according to the Justice Department.

White House cocaine disarray as story keeps changing and one faction implies Kamala might be the fall-gal. As more anonymous leaks muddy the waters on where the cocaine was found in the White House, one thing becomes clear: Biden's handlers are divided on how to handle the scandal that now deserves the moniker "Cocainegate." It's panic time at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The most intriguing leak went to NBC News, always willing to broadcast propaganda meant to guard the interests of the ruling class. Host Andrea Mitchell and White House correspondent Kelly O'Donnell casually let drop a shot across the bow of VP Kamala Harris — whose unpopularity is a huge problem for Dems worried about maintaining control of the Executive Branch — implying that the latest version of where the coke was found, in a cubby near an entrance to the West Wing, is also near where the Vice President parks: [...]

Bookies list Hunter Biden as favorite to be White House cocaine culprit. Overseas sportsbook BetOnline.ag gives Hunter Biden +170 odds as the owner, placing him as the most likely wrongdoer among their listed suspects, which also appears to contain joke offenders peppered throughout the list.

Hunter took in Washington, D.C.'s Fourth of July fireworks from the White House.

Biden Corruption Whistleblower Dr. Gal Luft Resurfaces — Releases 14 Minute Video Detailing Criminal Allegations. Missing Biden corruption whistleblower Dr. Gal Luft released a 14-minute video to The New York Post on Thursday detailing damning allegations against Joe Biden and his family in a massive international bribery scheme filmed in an undisclosed location while on the run from the Biden regime and Department of Justice. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Luft vanished from Cyprus in April under mysterious circumstances. He is now living as a fugitive in undisclosed foreign location. Luft was an adviser to CEFC China Energy (CEFC), a business conglomerate with extremely close ties to the Chinese Communist Party. He served alongside Hunter Biden.

'Missing' Biden corruption witness spills all in shocking 'DOJ coverup' video. The self-described "patient zero of the Biden family investigation," Israeli professor Dr. Gal Luft, who is currently on the run after being arrested in Cyprus and referred to as "missing," has released a shocking, 14-minute-long video from an undisclosed location in which he details his bribery allegations against the Biden family and claims of a coverup by the Department of Justice. "I, who volunteered to inform the US government about a potential security breach and about compromising information about a man vying to be the next president, am now being hunted by the very same people who I informed — and may have to live on the run for the rest of my life on the run..." Luft said in the video, obtained exclusively by the New York Post. As BizPac Review has reported, Luft, an American-Israeli energy expert and former Israeli army officer previously told The Post that he jumped bail last month after being hit with a slew of charges by the U.S. courts and threatened with extradition back to the States.

'Missing' Biden corruption case witness Dr. Gal Luft details allegations against president's family in extraordinary video. The "missing witness" from the Biden corruption investigation, Israeli professor Dr. Gal Luft, has laid out his bribery allegations against the president's family in an extraordinary video filmed in an undisclosed location while he's on the run. In the 14-minute recording, obtained exclusively by The [New York] Post, the fugitive former Israeli army officer claims he was arrested in Cyprus to stop him from testifying to the House Oversight Committee that the Biden family received payments from individuals with alleged ties to Chinese military intelligence and that they had an FBI mole who shared classified information with their benefactors from the China-controlled energy company CEFC. The self-proclaimed fall guy says he provided the incriminating evidence to six officials from the FBI and the Department of Justice in a secret meeting in Brussels in March 2019 — but alleges that it was covered up.

Joe Biden's Grifting Came After the Clintons' Grifting. Deep State prosecutor Jack Smith's indictment of President Trump in "Mar-a-Lago-gate" were a cover for Joe Biden's felonious classified document handling violations that the Dept of Justice continues to cover up. The two standards of justice for Democrats and Republicans are obvious. President Trump had complete authority to declassify ANYTHING yet was indicted under the Espionage Act for mishandling the documents that the National Archives and Records Administration authorized him to possess. Meanwhile, Joe Biden had no authority to declassify any classified documents as vice president, yet boxes of documents including classified information were uncovered in various Biden hangouts back in January and February with no indictments from DoJ nor any investigative reporting of those transgressions.

Biden Email Has Smoking Gun Evidence When It Comes to Joe, Hunter, and Call to Poroshenko. The White House counsel has been doing all it can to try to distance Joe Biden from the Biden foreign business dealings scandal. But as we reported, they started having to move the goalposts and backpedal from what Biden has been saying for the past three years: that he's never talked to his son about his business dealings. That has been busted in multiple ways, including showing that Biden met with many of Hunter's business associates, among them, Burisma associate Vadym Pozharskyi. The meeting with Pozharskyi was one of the big revelations in the New York Post story that got suppressed on social media right before the 2020 election. Now, with the bribery allegations according to the Grassley witness that are reflected in the FBI FD-1023 form, that raises even more questions about what was going on.

The Continuing Recap of IRS Whistleblower Gary Shapley's Interview With Congress — Part Two. This is Part Two of my recap of the transcribed interview of Gary Shapley, IRS Criminal Investigations Supervisory Special Agent. Shapley supervised the investigation of Hunter Biden that started in November 2018. As noted below, Shapley and his Group were cut-out of the investigation — DOJ prosecutors quit communicating with them in October 2022, and in May 2023 the entire Group was removed from the investigation and replaced. Just a couple of weeks after that it was announced that Hunter Biden would be pleading guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges. Part One of my recap only covered the first 25 pages of his transcribed interview — much of that being Shapley reading his own prepared comments for the staffers who were present. Because Congressional oversight of the IRS falls first to the House Ways and Means Committee, the whistleblower investigation based on Shapley's reporting is being done by the Majority and Minority staffs of that Committee.

Eight reasons to believe a coverup is underway on the cocaine found in the White House. The discovery of a stash of cocaine in the White House became public because a hazmat team was sent in on the possibility that the white powdery substance might have been anthrax or some other deadly terror weapon. Were it not for the hazmat team's highly visible and noteworthy arrival, I believe it is quite possible that the matter would have been handled with the discretion for which the Secret Service is famous (and notorious), protecting the privacy of the First Family. Now that we know about it, there are multiple signs that a coverup is underway to protect someone whom the Secret Service guards.

Any delay in this case is the result of stonewalling.
Donald Trump: Security Tapes Would 'Quickly' Find White House Cocaine Smuggler. Former President Donald Trump said the security tapes would "quickly" reveal who smuggled cocaine into President Joe Biden's White House after the drug was reportedly found in the West Wing. Over the weekend, a substance was found inside the White House that reportedly tested positive for cocaine. On Monday, U.S. Secret Service spokesman Steven Kopek confirmed an "ongoing investigation" into the matter, but did not confirm whether the substance contained cocaine. In response, Trump predicted the "Fake News Media" will downplay the substance's finding.

Working around Kamala. It has become more than just painfully obvious that Joe Biden is not fit to run for a second term. What political strategists call optics, however, is a serious impediment for the Dems in avoiding an electoral disaster. They are obligated to come up with a particularly dignified and gracious way to have a more appealing substitute candidate move to the center of the stage. This may be even more difficult than it appears. Much like a sunken ship in the middle of a shallow harbor, Vice President Kamala Harris is a serious obstacle to navigating toward a desirable goal. Biden has to stay in office as long as he can to delay entering lame duck status — while also announcing his retirement early enough for his replacement to gather sufficient electoral momentum for a victory. Driving this desire for success is the Democrats' existential need to hold on to power. Should they lose their grip on the Department of Justice (DoJ), considering lessons recently learned, their virtual extinction may well be in the offing.

Politico Says What We're All Thinking. President Joe Biden's old age and diminishing health have been at the forefront of Americans' worries since he entered office. The 80-year-old president has repeatedly embarrassed the U.S. by stumbling upstairs and across stages while also mumbling his words, making Americans question if he even knows he is the president. Biden's health is such a major concern that even Left-leaning outlets question whether he is up for the job or not. Politico columnist Jack Schafer demanded a stronger primary challenger for Biden — one that would toughen the president up and would "prepare us" in case he's "seriously injured" or "dies one evening." Titled "Why Democrats Should Primary Biden," Schafer argued that the senior president is not up for a second term, suggesting California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) or Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as alternative presidential candidates.

So we still don't know who brought the cocaine into the White House? One of the crazier stories to show up this week (and the competition was fierce) involved a bag of cocaine being found at the White House. For one thing, the story kept changing on a daily basis. It was initially reported that the drugs were found "near" the White House. Later, the WaPo reported that it was found in the White House library, which would have placed it inside the executive mansion. But as the nation celebrated America's birthday, the tale changed yet again. The Secret Service contradicted the library story, saying that the baggie of coke was not in the library. It was found "in a work area in the West Wing." The location was described as being "in a storage facility in a cubby routinely used by White House staff and guests to store cellphones." This would be a very interesting development indeed, particularly since it would limit the possible list of suspects significantly, making a potential investigation easier.

Secret Service Find Ziploc Bag of Powdered Cocaine in West Wing of White House, no one Knows How It Got There. I'm not sure what is funnier, that a ziploc bag of powered cocaine was found in the working quarters (West Wing) of the Office of the United States President, or that the Secret Service claim they can't figure out who it belongs to[.] Obviously, a review of the CCTV video is out of the question, or something.

White House cocaine was found in a 'dime-sized baggie' inside a 'cubby' used by staff and guests to store cell phones: New details. Secondary lab testing found that the white powder substance found at the White House is cocaine as Secret Service continues to hunt down who brought the dime-sized bag of illicit drugs onto the premises. U.S. Secret Service declined to comment on the ongoing investigation to DailyMail.com on Wednesday, but doubled-down that the white powder substance was found in a 'work area within the West Wing' of the White House. The substance was discovered in a small, zippered bag in a storage facility area of the West Wing. The timeline, however, is blurry — as it's unclear how long the bag and its contents were at the White House.

The Editor says...
We all know who the most likely culprit is; there's no reason to pretend otherwise. The biggest question is who's gonna take the fall for this? Or will the current occupants of the White House blame Donald Trump? It's not a manufactured distraction to keep some other scandal out of the news, because the news media are avoiding this story like monkeypox! Oh, and what are the chances that the surveillance video will be "lost" or "accidentally deleted" in the next few days?

White House Cocaine Story Takes Another Bizarre Twist as It Changes Again. When we first heard the story of a hazmat situation and the White House being evacuated on Sunday, we were told by the media that they'd found cocaine hydrochloride "near the White House." Then it was described as being on the White House complex. That could be anywhere, including on the grounds. It was also described as "cocaine hydrochloride," with suggestions it could be an anesthetic. Then came the report that it was in the White House library, which is on the ground floor of the executive mansion, according to the Washington Post. But now the Secret Service is contradicting that report about the library. Newsmax reporter James Rosen said that according to multiple officials with the Secret Service, contrary to the prior reports, the cocaine was found "in a work area in the West Wing," not in the White House library, and that it was in a "baggie" when discovered, not loose or concealed. [Tweet]

Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino Says Biden Family Member Brought Cocaine To White House. Conservative talk radio host and former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino said the mystery of who sneaked cocaine into the White House is hardly a whodunnit. Secret Service agents made the discover late Sunday in the building's West Wing, where President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden live. An initial dispatch report said the substance, later confirmed to be cocaine, was in the library, but officials later insisted the cocaine was found in a "cubby" where guests who tour the residence leave their cell phones and other personal belongings. "There's absolutely ZERO chance anyone other than a family member brought that cocaine inside the White House complex," Bongino said Wednesday. "No chance that would make it past the mag/security checkpoints. Family bypasses those." Hunter Biden's battles with cocaine and crack addiction are well known, both from his own memoir and the laptop he abandoned in a Wilmington, Delaware, computer repair shop five years ago.

White House cocaine mystery deepens as Secret Service says it was found in the West Wing and NOT the library. The White House was engulfed in scandal during President Joe Biden's Fourth of July celebrations as the Secret Service hunted for whoever was responsible for leaving cocaine in the West Wing. Hunter Biden was among the first family members at 1600 Pennsylvania for the festivities just hours after it was confirmed a white powder that sparked a hazmat situation contained traces of the illicit drug. The White House has stayed silent on the shocking discovery on Sunday night that forced an evacuation while the president was in Camp David with his recovering drug addict son Hunter.

Did federal attorney's office sideline experienced legal team before filing charges against Hunter Biden? Prosecutors. Lawyers are questioning whether the Delaware attorney's office kicked their most experienced prosecutors off the Hunter Biden case — just before they filed minor charges against the president's son. Whistleblowers who ran the IRS criminal probe into Hunter for five years told Congress about their travails with veteran Delaware prosecutors Lesley Wolf, Shawn Weede, and Shannon Hanson. But in a letter to a federal judge last week announcing the charges against Hunter, Delaware US Attorney David Weiss listed three different prosecutors who have apparently had no previous involvement in the case — leading to questions of a last-minute overhaul by the Delaware DoJ.

Prosecutor Who Signed Hunter Biden Plea Deal Worked for Hunter Biden Business Partner. By now everyone is aware how the corruption in Washington DC is fraught with internecine relationships; however, this one takes the proverbial cake. The prosecutor who organized and signed the plea deal for Hunter Biden worked for Hunter Biden's business partner. Senator Ron Johnson is calling attention to Title 28, Section 45.2 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which says: 'no employee shall participate in a criminal investigation if he has a personal or political relationship with [...] any person or organization substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation'.

Why Democrats Should Primary Biden. President Joe Biden needs a tuneup. He's a stiff when speaking at the lectern. When not a stiff, the 80-year-old can be a dolt, saying, as he did this week, that Russian President Vladimir Putin is "losing the war in Iraq" when he meant Ukraine, or blurting out a senseless, "God save the Queen, man," at a gun control rally last week. The English language has never been his friend, so it's logical that his managers, er, his aides, have limited his exposure to the press.

The REAL Reason for Exposing Biden's CPAP Machine. The media dismiss Biden's obvious dementia. And he didn't have a stroke or a heart attack, things people his age are prone to have. So why mention a CPAP? [...] Simple: this is Phase I of the Biden takedown. I've contended that Joe Biden is in serious decline, aging in dog years. I predicted that Democrats will jettison Biden before the end of the year, allowing Kamala Harris to become president. Her only role will be to pardon the Bidens and Biden associates, including the DOJ. They are forced to jettison Joe, because they can no longer cover for his conditions. The claim is the strap lines from his CPAP outed his breathing disorder. But those marks paled in comparison to his face. Biden's face looked like it melted. The White House quickly stepped in to run interference.

Who Controls The President? Every president in the past has had a staff and advisors who have advised him on various issues, but the final decisions were left to the president to make. But in the case of Biden he is incapable of making a logical coherent decision based on his mental state of confusion, and now, for the first time in history, we have an unknown unelected "cabal" of corrupt incompetent individuals known as the White House Staff governing this nation. Most Republican politicians, talk show hosts, TV commentators, and others know about this controlling cabal, but continue to blame only Biden and his cabinet for all the problems. For some reason they fail to disclose the existence and identities of this White House "cabal" to the public.

The Bidens' Existential Threats to the American Rule of Law. By Hunter Biden's recent own admissions and corroborating evidence, he seems not only to have schemed to hide millions of dollars in foreign shake-down profiteering, but to have set up all sorts of paywalls, firewalls, and phony "loans" to ensure auditors would take years to unravel his illegal schemes — until well after the expiration of the statute of limitations. And his criminality succeeded so well that he has permanently gotten off not paying thousands of dollars in overdue taxes. Joe Biden has serially lied that he did not know anything of his son's business dealings. That assertion is contrary to photographic evidence of him with Hunter Biden's business associates, sworn statements from at least one of Hunter Biden's former business partners, clear evidence from Hunter's own laptop, and now recent disclosures from FBI documents and whistleblower testimonies. And yet the President continues to lie, and the media continues to shrug that dads often do such things. It is almost beyond belief, but increasingly likely, that Hunter Biden in the past conducted his illicit business over the phone in the presence, and with the complicity, of current president Joe Biden himself. And the full trove of evidence is still trickling in.

We need a serious conversation about Joe Biden's brain. Speaking to reporters Wednesday, President Biden falsely claimed that Russia is at war with Iraq. Russia is at war with Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin is "clearly losing the war in Iraq," Biden told the press pool, "losing the war at home. And he has become a bit of a pariah around the world." On Tuesday, during an unrelated fundraising event in Chevy Chase, Md., Biden made the exact same slip-up, mistaking Ukraine for Iraq. "If anybody told you ... that we'd be able to bring all of Europe together in the onslaught on Iraq and get NATO to be completely united," the president said, "I think they would have told you it's not likely." Although many journalists did a fine job this week highlighting the president's apparent confusion regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine, one can't help but feel as if the news industry as a whole is avoiding the obvious follow-up question. Namely, "Is Biden OK?"

Congressman Greg Steube Accuses Joe Biden of Treason. U.S. House Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) called Joe Biden's alleged involvement in Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings "treasonous activity" on the eve of the Fourth of July. Conservative podcaster Benny Johnson had Steube on as a guest of 'The Benny Show." Johnson asked Steube, "As you see the evidence and you see the countries that were targeted by the Biden crime syndicate for enrichment, it was Russia, it was China, it was middle eastern countries that hate us, it was a lot of countries that don't like America that don't like the way that we do business here and it seems as though they were strip mining this nation and selling us off for parts to some of our biggest enemies, it does seem treasonous. Do you think this rises to the level of treason?"

Kamala, They Are Coming for You. The dark comedy of Biden's mental decay/physical decline is evidenced daily when his caretakers let him out, after dosing his secret, volatile medication. Sleep apnea, previously undisclosed, is the latest alibi for his dysfunction. His medical records are no more transparent than Hunter Biden's tax returns, and the president's doctor won't come clean. Biden was elected because complicit media enabled his cynical handlers in 2020 to keep him under wraps. But the luster of the perpetual coverup has faded. Just as the media can no longer ignore inflation — because people feel it, the media now highlight Biden's cognitive debilitation, because it's in plain view. And two more reasons: (a) the discredited and biased legacy media are desperate for recovering credibility and (b) the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, et al. see Biden as a loser and want him out. The once servile White House press corps has ramped up the age issue, thus intentionally priming voters to look for Biden's senior moments.

Let me guess: They're calling it Russian disinformation?
"The Images You Circulated Online Are Complete Fakes" — Hunter Biden Lawyer Accuses Republicans of Faking WhatsApp Message. In a letter sent to Republicans on the House Ways and Means Chairman, Hunter Biden's lawyer Abbe Lowell denied Joe Biden was sitting next to Hunter Biden when his son sent a threatening WhatsApp message to a Chinese business associate. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley revealed Hunter Biden demanded payment from his Chinese business associate over WhasApp messenger. Hunter Biden demanded payment and threatened Henry Zhao, a Chinese Communist Party official and director of Harvest Fund Management. Harvest Fund Management had previously invested in Hunter Biden's firm, BHR Partners — a private investment fund founded in 2013 that is co-owned by the Bank of China.

Comer Accuses DOJ of High Level 'Cover Up,' Vows Accountability. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., vowed to hold the U.S. Department of Justice accountable in an alleged high-level cover-up that may have protected the Biden family from feeling the sting of equal justice. In an interview on Fox News, Comer spoke about IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley's allegation that his team was hindered from investigating Hunter Biden and that DOJ prosecutors directed them to avoid asking questions about the "Big Guy." Rep. Comer explained, "It's another example of the Department of Justice meddling to have a cover-up. This is a cover-up of public corruption at the highest level. And if you go back to when we bought the general counsel for the National Archives in for a transcribed interview in the House Oversight Committee, they said the DOJ told them to stand down."

Former DNI John Ratcliffe Points Out the Obvious DOJ Corruption in the Hunter Biden Case. Former Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, appears on Fox News to point out the obvious inconsistencies with the claims by the DOJ in their effort to protect Hunter Biden and the Biden family from investigations.

Joe Biden Disowning His Granddaughter Goes Much Deeper Than Originally Thought. Amidst all the proclamations of the supposed incredible decency and love of the Biden family has been a very uncomfortable reality: Joe and Jill Biden have disowned their small granddaughter. After Hunter Biden recently settled with the mother of the child to reduce his child support payments, the situation once again found itself in the public eye. This time, things escalated further, though. Not only did the president's son reduce his payments by a huge amount, but part of the settlement was denying his own daughter the use of his last name. As a father, I can't even begin to process what kind of person does something like that, but responsibility for this situation doesn't end with Hunter Biden himself. Behind him stands two enabling parents who have openly joined him in assuring the child in question is shunned and effectively erased. For years, Joe Biden has stated he only has six grandchildren. Some of that has been written off his senility flaring up. I suppose the excuse is that if he never sees his granddaughter, why should be expected to remember she exists? But a new report is shedding light on just how deep the plot goes.

Hazmat Situation at White House Leads to Discovery of a Bag of Cocaine They Want You to Believe Is Something Else. On Sunday [7/2/2023], the White House grounds were evacuated after an initially unidentified item was found. [...] A hazmat team responded to the area of 18th St and Pennsylvania Ave, and the Secret Service blocked roadways around the White House. All roads have re-opened since, according to the spokesperson. D.C. Emergency Medical officials later deemed the item to be "non-hazardous." The substance is reported to be cocaine hydrochloride. [...] Some media outlets and social media users have informed audiences that cocaine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic agent used by doctors in nasal mucous membranes prior to surgery... which is true — two FDA-approved products Numbrino and Goprelto, are nasal sprays in liquid form.

Biden Bribery Wheeze is like the Russia Collusion Delusion. Like many of my acquaintances, I feel alternately despondent and outraged by the unfolding story of the Bidens' Excellent Bribery Adventure. The despondency comes from the bitter recognition that, notwithstanding the veritable tsunami of commentary that has accompanied the story — a tsunami to which I have contributed myself — we are probably months if not years from getting to the bottom of this fish pond. After all, it's alleged that Hunter Biden and his enablers set up a complex series of shell companies — at least 20 of them by some counts — that will make following the money a forensic nightmare. Remember, the Big Guy himself, challenged about the allegations by a reporter, scoffed, "So where's the money?" Good luck tracing it. Adding to the despondency is the likelihood that, if and when we do get the whole story, it will be too late.

Biden Vows to Rein In 'Privilege' in Colleges, But Here's What He Did for His Granddaughter. President Joe Biden last week blasted the Supreme Court's decision on Thursday ruling against affirmative action programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina, a decision that could remake higher education policies across the country. In a speech following the court's decision, Biden also pledged to crack down on elite universities' practice of "legacy admissions," in which relatives of previous graduates are given preferential treatment in admissions. "Practices like legacy admissions and other systems expand privilege instead of opportunity," Biden said.

Biden slammed after report reveals number of grandchildren his aides instructed to say publicly: 'Monsters'. President Biden is facing backlash from conservatives following a report that his aides have been told to say publicly that he only has six grandchildren, omitting Hunter Biden's 4-year-old estranged daughter. The president's son, Hunter Biden, settled his child support case in Arkansas last week, ending a years-long paternity dispute over his 4-year-old daughter, whom both the president and the first lady refuse to acknowledge as their seventh grandchild. Announced in a court filing on Thursday, Hunter agreed to give his daughter some of his paintings, and the mother of the child, Lunden Alexis Roberts, agreed to withdraw her counterclaim to change their child's last name to "Biden."

U.S. Attorney David Weiss Confirms 'Limited' Authority to Charge Hunter Biden Outside Delaware. U.S. Delaware Attorney David Weiss on Friday confirmed his "limited" authority to charge Hunter Biden in the jurisdictions of Washington, DC, and California. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley told Congress the Department of Justice (DOJ) prevented Weiss from bringing charges against Hunter Biden in Washington, DC, and California. The New York Times independently confirmed Shapley's statement on Tuesday by reporting the DOJ's practices demand that Weiss obtain approval and cooperation from the U.S. attorneys in California and Washington, DC, before proceeding with charges in their districts.

A 19-Point Time Line of Joe Biden's Infamous Links to the Family Business. Although President Joe Biden has personally denied involvement in his family's international business scheme nine times, a time line of events suggests Joe Biden not only is linked to the family's affairs but is a key member of an "organized crime" operation, as House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) termed it. Comer recently identified "six specific policy decisions" that Joe Biden made that indicate he could be "compromised." "Where is the money?" Biden responded in June when asked about his ties to the business. He later said he was joking. "It's a bunch of malarkey." The following 19-point time line lays out the data points obtained from whistleblowers, the "Laptop from Hell," James Comer, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), and the Senate 2020 report on the family. [...]

Did Joe Biden and his Cronies Steal a Billion Dollars from U.S. Taxpayers by Overpaying for Chinese Covid Test Kits? There are five obvious things almost everyone who isn't blind, deaf, or really dumb knows at this point:
[#1] Joe Biden is the most crooked, corrupt and compromised politician in the history of the Presidency.
[#2] The Biden Crime family operated as an organized crime organization.
[#3] Biden and his Biden Crime Family extorted tens of millions of dollars from companies like Burisma, and countries like China and Ukraine when Biden was Vice President of the USA.
[#4] Biden made decisions as President that directly benefited the countries or companies he was bribed and compromised by.
[#5] Biden and the Biden Crime Family are owned lock, stock and barrel by our #1 enemy, China and the CCP (Chinese Communist Party).
Members of Congress are now reporting that Biden-related firms and partnerships received around $40 million in payments (ie bribes) while he was Vice President. Knowing all of that, does anyone doubt that Biden has continued extorting and stealing and accepting millions in bribes as President? Wasn't that the whole point of Biden getting elected President?

Nine Times Joe Biden Denied Family Business Involvement Despite Mounting Evidence. President Joe Biden has denied his involvement in the Biden family business nine times over four years. While at least 23 instances of evidence directly contradict his claims, including but not limited to photos, texts, an audio recording, and IRS and former business partner whistleblower testimonies, Joe Biden remains steadfast in insisting that many established facts do not mean he was somehow involved in the family's overseas business.

The Editor says...
Yeah, what exactly is "the family's overseas business" if not influence peddling, bribery, and graft?

The President's Constitutional Takes are Becoming More Unhinged from History. The decision of the Supreme Court to end the use of race in college admissions was not unexpected. Indeed, the rulings in cases involving Harvard and the University of North Carolina ended decades of muddled 5-4 decisions. Yet, President Joe Biden seemed to go into full attack mode and actually claimed that the Court gutted the constitutional guarantee that "all men and women are created equal." In declaring that this Court was not "normal," Biden further insisted that these admissions decisions and the Dobbs abortion decision reversed the gains that "we fought a war over in 1860" to secure. In an interview on MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," President Biden accused the Court of ignoring what "the Constitution says: We hold these truths to be self-evident, all men and women are created equal, endowed by their creator." That is actually a reference to the Declaration of Independence, but it was the substance of the point that was so baffling.

The Editor says...
Fact check: The Civil War began in April 1861 and ended in April of 1865.

Media talking points to cover for Joe Biden are getting dumber every day. Two years ago, Joe Biden declared that his son, Hunter, never did anything wrong in his life, and everyone who "attacks" Hunter's "stellar reputation" is probably Putin's stooge. When Hunter's less than stellar activities came into public view, Joe said he "didn't know anything about them." Recently, when the IRS whistleblower's allegations turned up corruption, the White House changed the story again: "Joe might've heard about Hunter's 'business,' but he was not participating in it." Last week, another "smoking gun" directly implicating Joe Biden in his son's bribery scheme appeared in the form of Hunter's WhatsApp message to a "foreign business associate": ["]I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight... I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.["]

IRS Whistleblower Gary Shapley: 'We Weren't Allowed to Ask About the Big Guy'. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley said the leadership of the DOJ's criminal investigation of Hunter Biden for alleged tax and gun violations prevented subordinates from investigating "the big guy." Speaking with Bret Baier on Fox News Channel's "Special Report," Shapley said one of the biggest challenges of investigating Hunter Biden was the inability to ask about the "big guy," an alias that whistleblower Tony Bobulinski originally revealed as Joe Biden from his dealings between the Bidens and a Chinese entity.

Biden inflicts elder abuse. Even though it is under-reported, elderly people with dementia are particularly vulnerable to abuse. Disturbingly, the demented Elder-in-Chief has turned that on its head: infirm Joe Biden is inflicting abuse on the country, particularly elders. While there's entirely too much gaudy June Pride despoiling the public square, it should also be remembered that June is designated as "Elder Abuse Awareness Month." The Senate's bipartisan resolution highlights "instances of exploitation and abuse against America's senior population..." Ironically, abusive Biden is the biggest perpetrator. Some ways elder abuse manifests itself are physical or psychological abuse, financial exploitation, neglect, and social media abuse. Despicable Joe Biden has exhibited all of these in abundance; a few of many examples briefly follow [...]

Biden Picks Up After Journalist Calls Secret Burner Phone Revealed In Hunter Scandal. On Sunday, investigative journalist and Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer revealed that Hunter Biden had been paying for a secret global phone from AT&T to the tune of $300 per month. "We know from the laptop that Hunter Biden's business paid for a private phone line that Joe Biden used while he was vice president," Schweizer told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo. "It was from AT&T, it was $300 a month, it was a global phone where you could access somebody anywhere around the world."

Democrats Sidelined Grassley In Questioning Whistleblowers Because He Knew Way Too Much. The release last week of the IRS whistleblowers' testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee exposed numerous scandals implicating the Department of Justice and FBI both in extensive efforts to interfere in the investigation and prosecution of the president's son and in a cover-up of the obstruction. But the details do something more: They reveal why Senate Democrats prevented Chuck Grassley from participating in the questioning of the whistleblowers — because the Iowa senator knew too much. One week ago today, the House Ways and Means Committee released transcripts of the sworn testimony of two IRS agents who had worked directly on the criminal case against Hunter Biden. The committee also made public supplemental information the whistleblowers provided the committee following their testimony, namely the IRS agents' claims that they neither saw, nor knew about, the FD-1023 summary detailing a confidential human source's report that Hunter and Joe Biden each received $5 million in bribes from the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma.

Whistleblower's memo reveals the FBI knew the contents of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop but sat on the information for years. The FBI first learned of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop, full of incriminating data, in October 2019, an IRS memo shows. The memo, written by senior IRS Criminal Investigation official Gary Shapley in 2020, reveals how senior law enforcement officers sat on the treasure trove of evidence from the First Son's computer and waited months before handing over mere excerpts to investigators working the case. It also directly contradicts an open letter from 51 top former intelligence officials published weeks ahead of the 2020 presidential election which dismissed the laptop as having 'all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation'.

DOJ Rot Goes So Much Deeper Than Merrick Garland. Following the sensational whistleblower testimony that dropped Thursday, revealing how the Department of Justice systematically blocked an IRS investigation into Joe Biden's son Hunter and diverted agents from examining the incriminating evidence against his presidential father, House Republicans are threatening the overdue impeachment of Attorney General Merrick Garland — except most of the pro-Biden interference in the DOJ happened before Garland was installed, while President Donald Trump was still in office. Does Garland still deserve impeachment for his assortment of abuses, such as sitting on his hands to avoid real accountability for the younger Biden (and his pop), while weaponizing the country's top law enforcement agency to try to send Biden's top presidential challenger to federal prison? Absolutely. Is it smart politically for Kevin McCarthy to use the current momentum to hold Garland to account? Probably. Is the alleged involvement in a foreign bribery scheme enough to merit Biden's own impeachment? Most definitely. But if the blame — and punishment — for the DOJ corruption revealed by whistleblowers stops with Merrick Garland or even Joe Biden, it will happen again.

Former Head Of DOJ Tax Division Urges Federal Judge To 'Trash' Hunter Biden Plea Deal. The former chief of the Justice Department's tax division is calling on the federal judge overseeing Hunter Biden's plea bargain with U.S. prosecutors to reject the agreement. Eileen O'Connor, who ran the DOJ tax division from 2001 to 2007, published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal Wednesday outlining why the plea agreement Hunter Biden struck with the Delaware U.S. attorney's office ought to be dismissed. "Judges can reject plea agreements," O'Connor wrote. "That would be an appropriate disposition here." O'Connor summarized the blockbuster revelations from a pair of whistleblowers within the Internal Revenue Service who came forward with allegations of DOJ interference in their criminal tax probe investigating Hunter Biden.

Comer Alleges Biden Family Has Accepted More Than $40 Million From Foreign Entities. Republican Kentucky Rep. James Comer alleged the Biden family has taken in more than $40 million from foreign entities, observing Wednesday the president is "compromised." During an interview on the "Cats and Cosby Show," Comer told hosts John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby that the investigation into the Biden family's financial dealings has revealed "19 shell companies," that were seemingly created for the sole purpose to launder money from foreign entities to at least nine members of the president's family. In the past five days, Comer stated, more bank records have come in revealing "more bank accounts, more shell companies and more Biden's."

The Hunter Biden WhatsApp messages that make the Bidens the GOATs of corruption. "The Bidens are the best at doing exactly what Chairman wants." The latest WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to a Chinese businessman may be the perfect epitaph for the entire Biden corruption scandal. Indeed, it may be the most accurate statement ever made by Hunter Biden. This is precisely what the Bidens are the best at: selling access and influence. Years ago, I wrote how the Biden family has long distinguished itself in all things corrupt from nepotism to sweetheart deals to influence peddling. Bidens like Hunter's uncle James have been repeatedly criticized for cashing in on claims of access to his brother.

Did Biden really get 81 million votes? Poll finds most voters agree with Kari Lake. How credible is the U.S. Government and the coming 2024 elections with the American people? Asked on Wednesday "to what extent" Vladimir Putin has been weakened by recent events in Russia, Joe Biden responded: "It's hard to tell, but he's clearly losing the war in Iraq." Which prompts the daily question not allowed on big box media: What is this man doing in the White House?

Biden Will Be Haunted By The Ghost Of His Campaign Past. An Axios story over the weekend carried the headline: "Biden's 2024 vision: Play 2020 again." If true, that means Joe Biden will be running against himself, because the attacks he lodged against then-President Donald Trump four years ago — on the economy, on COVID, on disunity, on corruption — all look worse today. Before COVID, for example, Biden was attacking the economy, arguing that, despite the 40-year low unemployment rate in late 2019, things were worse than ever. In a speech Biden gave in Scranton, Pa., in October of that year, he talked about an interview he'd done with "60 Minutes," during which he was asked about the unemployment rate, which was at that point down to 3.5%.

Hunter Biden Asks for $10M from CCP-Linked Associate: Bidens Do What 'Chairman Wants'. Just days after demanding to be paid by an associate of a Chinese energy company, CEFC, in a 2017 WhatsApp text with President Joe Biden "sitting" next to him, Hunter Biden asked a second CEFC business associate, Gongwen "Kevin" Dong, for $10 million in another WhatsApp text, noting the Biden family is best at "doing exactly what the chairman wants." The "chairman," as Hunter Biden referenced, was CEFC's chairman Ye Jianming, who paid Hunter a $1 million retainer fee for legal services in 2017. Hunter also received a large diamond from Ye in February 2017 worth an estimated $80,000.

Overseas payments to Biden family could exceed $40M, Comer says: 'This was organized crime'. Members of President Biden's family may have accepted in excess of $40 million from foreign nationals in exchange for favorable policy decisions, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer suggested Wednesday. The Kentucky Republican said that his panel has identified "six specific policy decisions" where Biden, 80, took actions that indicate he may have been "compromised," during an appearance on [WABC] Wednesday. Comer noted that of the six policy decisions, four of them "were made while Joe Biden was president early on — [where] we cannot come to any other conclusion as to why these decisions were made, other than the fact that this president is compromised." "This was organized crime. There's no other way to define it," Comer alleged.

IRS Whistleblower: 'Misnomer' to Say Hunter Paid Taxes, Thanks to Deal, Some Can't Be Recovered. During an interview with the Fox News Channel aired on Wednesday's broadcast of "Special Report," IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley said it's a "misnomer" to claim Hunter Biden paid off his taxes and that there is still outstanding tax from 2018 that will never be recovered. Shapley stated, "Well, to say he paid is a misnomer, right? Because it was an individual, [Kevin] Morris, that he met at a campaign finance event and then he immediately starts giving Hunter Biden money to pay off tax debts, to pay living expenses. The money that was given to Hunter Biden by Morris showed up on his tax returns as a loan to him. So, when you have a person that you meet at a campaign finance event, then he's, all of a sudden, giving you millions of dollars and... it's a loan to you, I wouldn't necessarily say that the subject paid those taxes."

IRS whistleblower defends claims Hunter Biden got special treatment from the Justice Department. Internal Revenue Service whistleblower Gary Shapley defended his claims that Hunter Biden got special treatment from the Department of Justice in an interview on Fox News' "Special Report." Shapley, a 14-year veteran of the agency, has come forward with accusations that prosecutors put an investigation into Hunter Biden's finances "on the back burner" as the 2020 election approached. He further claims that David Weiss, the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Delaware, said privately on several occasions that he was not pulling the strings and that he was not in charge of the investigation. Shapley said he was in a meeting last fall when Weiss admitted he was not calling the shots.

John Solomon Called Joe Biden's Secret Global Phone, and Guess Who Picked Up. Peter Schweizer on Sunday dropped a bombshell during an appearance on Fox News with host Maria Bartiromo. Schweizer, author of "Secret Empires," said Joe Biden was using a secret cell phone and it was paid for by Hunter Biden's firm. "What is the line of communications between Hunter Biden and his business partners and Joe Biden when he's Vice President of the United States?" Schweizer said. "It's not the government phone. It's not Joe Biden's personal phone. We know from the laptop that Hunter Biden's business paid for a private phone line that Joe Biden used while he was Vice President.

Biden Denies Taking Part In Son's Alleged Shakedown Of Chinese Businessman. President Joe Biden denied taking part in his son's alleged shakedown of a Chinese businessman recently revealed in a 2017 WhatsApp message. Reporters questioned Biden over the WhatsApp message, revealed last week by IRS whistleblowers who investigated the president's son's tax affairs, at the White House on Wednesday. The president has so far refused to comment at length about the message that allegedly ties him with his son's dealings with foreign agents. "How involved were you in your son's Chinese shake-down text message? Were you sitting there? Were you involved?" a reporter asked the president. Biden responded: "No, I wasn't."

Liberals turn on Joe Biden over a traffic jam. For every day and every scandal of his presidency, President Biden could count on unflinching, irrevocable support from the Washington Post and its devoted readers. That ended Tuesday. Traffic on one of America's busiest roads in the Washington area screeched to a halt for hours during the evening rush hour. Biden was heading out to hit up rich Democrats for hefty campaign contributions at a fundraiser in ritzy Chevy Chase, Md., and Team Biden shut down the Beltway so Biden's motorcade could travel unseen and unimpeded by any peasants. The shutdown caused more than five miles of backups and sowed disruptions for hours after it ended.

The statute of limitations when intentional tax fraud has occurred. The public has been told that there is a six-year statute of limitations on Hunter Biden's tax returns, but there is actually no limitation when intentional tax fraud occurs, and that is clearly the case with Hunter Biden. [...] Why doesn't the media care? They targeted Trump for years with little to no evidence, yet they have massive evidence on the Biden family corruption, including Joe, yet seem to have little curiosity. Could it be the "D" behind their name and the radical, leftist policies they push that causes the disinterest? The question clearly answers itself.

Darrell Issa: Joe Biden Using White House Counsel as His Personal Lawyer to Stonewall Media on Alleged Corruption. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, questioned on Tuesday if the White House turned corruption allegations against President Joe Biden into a strictly legal matter when it referred reporters to the administration's counsel. "The White House is trying to use the president's counsel as Biden's personal lawyer to shield questions from the media," Issa's Communications Director, Jonathan Wilcox, told Breitbart News. "If Biden wants to lawyer up, that's fine. But he's going to have to hire his own criminal attorney."

White House Routinely Edits Transcripts Of Biden's Speeches To Make Him Look Coherent. President Joe Biden is a self-described gaffe machine, but you wouldn't always know that by reading the official White House transcripts of his speeches and remarks. Sometimes, the transcript throws in a [sic] when Biden misspeaks. Other times, the stenographer adds a bracketed correction to Biden's error. And every once in a while, the White House just cuts out Biden's bizarre word salads altogether. [Examples omitted for brevity.] Other times, the White House edits the transcript to fix Biden's errors, such as striking through whatever random word Biden actually said and bracketing what he should have said.

2 IRS Agents Just Became Hunter Biden's Worst Nightmare: 'I've Never Seen That in My Career'. On Monday, The Washington Times reported that two veteran IRS agents, Gary Shapley and a man identified as "Mr. X," have testified to Congress about their investigations into Hunter Biden's many alleged tax-related transgressions. On one occasion, for instance, Biden's accountants were so skeptical of their client's honesty that they insisted he sign a representation letter affirming the accuracy of his reported income and deductions, according to the Times. "I've never seen that in my career," Mr. X told the House Ways and Means Committee. The scope of Biden's deception has kept the agents busy. Shapley and Mr. X testified under oath that they have been investigating the president's son for years. The Times report featured excerpts from the agents' testimony, including details about payments to prostitutes that Biden wrote off as expenses.

White House omits Hunter Biden from visitor logs, despite Obama admin disclosing his visits. The Biden White House has repeatedly claimed they are the "most transparent administration in American history," but a Fox News Digital review found that the visitor logs from the beginning of the Biden administration through February 2023 have not included any of Hunter Biden's White House visits or extended stays. Fox News Digital reviewed several articles to piece together Hunter Biden's whereabouts during his dad's administration and found that he has visited the White House over a dozen times through February 2023, the month accounted for in the most recent batch of visitor logs released last month.

IRS Whistleblower: My Contemporaneous Documentation Contradicts Garland, Weiss on Hunter Case. During portions of an interview with CBS News Chief Investigative Correspondent Jim Axelrod aired on Tuesday's broadcast of "CBS Evening News," IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley stated that his contemporaneous documentation in the form of an email with IRS Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon on U.S. Attorney David Weiss not being the deciding person on whether charges against Hunter Biden were filed that he entered as exhibit 10 in his congressional testimony contradicts recent public statements by Weiss and Attorney General Merrick Garland. Shapley said, "If this was any other person, they likely would have already served their sentence."

New Hunter Biden WhatsApp messages show him demanding $10 million from Chinese energy venture. House Republicans released more WhatsApp messages Tuesday they say were written by Hunter Biden as he worked on a business deal with a Chinese energy company. In messages from August 2017, the first son pushed that $10 million needed to be invested annually into the joint venture with CEFC China Energy, and called a $5 million proposal 'new to me' and 'not acceptable, obviously.' The House Oversight Committee's Twitter account said that Hunter was messaging Gongwen Dong, a CEFC China Energy associate who used the nickname 'Kevin.'

New York Times Confirms IRS Whistleblower Claims About US Attorney David Weiss Saying Main Justice Blocked Joe and Hunter Biden Investigation. At the heart of the IRS whistleblower statements, is a meeting that took place on October 7, 2022, where U.S. Attorney David Weiss told six witnesses that he was not able to pursue a full case against Hunter Biden due to Dept of Justice roadblocks. Notes and a contemporaneous email in regard to the explosive meeting were taken by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, who then testified to Congress and delivered the evidence which contradicts the statements by Attorney General Merrick Garland and Deputy AG Lisa Monaco. Shapley's lawyers documented some of the participants from the meeting on behalf of their client, as they refute the claims of Main Justice (Garland & Monaco): [...]

Joe Biden Said He Sold WHAT?!? Secrets, a LOT of Secrets. Foggy Joe Biden lost his train of thought and jumped onto the slow choo-choo to cloud cuckoo land as he sat with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a squeaked out what many of us have long believed: ["]I was just thinking, uh, uh, anyway. I started off without you, and I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things that we shared.["] No, he seriously said that. [Tweet with video clip] [...] I'm sure the Pravda press will claim he was making a joke, but what kind of a megalomaniacal person jokes about selling state secrets — and a lot of very important things — when half the nation is waking up to the fact that he and his son very likely committed these crimes? Is he mocking us, or is he too far gone to realize what he just said?

More Evidence Against Hunter Biden Is Coming. During a recent interview on NewsmaxTV, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the chair of the House Oversight Committee, disclosed that he possesses further evidence concerning Hunter Biden, which will be made public soon. This revelation comes after whistleblower allegations against the Biden family broke last week. Comer made the revelation while discussing recent denials by Attorney General Merrick Garland of the allegations made by two IRS whistleblowers, who said that the Department of Justice stymied the investigation of Hunter Biden. Garland had claimed that Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss had full authority to investigate Hunter Biden as he saw fit. But according to testimony from whistleblower Gary Shapley, an IRS agent, Weiss said he was not the deciding official on whether charges against Hunter Biden would be filed.

Jill Biden rakes in millions for Joe's re-election campaign, assures donors "nothing" can slow him down. Jill Biden is one of several members of Biden's White House tasked with going across the country to campaign for The Big Guy's re-election. She's the first lady so it is expected that she do so. Her pitch to donors is that Joe is unstoppable and ready to finish the job. [...] Jill is raking in millions of dollars in places like Minnesota and Tennessee, as she did over the weekend. 'Nothing can slow him down and now he's ready to finish the job.' That phrase implies he hasn't been ready to complete whatever he views his job as, though, doesn't it? What has he been waiting on? It just doesn't land right. Apparently her fellow Democrats are falling for it. Though most Democrats do not want Joe to run again, Democrats say they will vote for him if he is the nominee. It makes no sense but Democrats are sheeple and they won't rock the boat. The status quo will remain in place.

McCarthy: Biden 'Lied' and Claimed His Son Never Made Money in China. On Monday's [6/26/2023] broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends," House Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) discussed claims by whistleblowers about the Hunter Biden investigation and noted that President Joe Biden has previously "lied" about his family's business dealings when he claimed that his son never made money in China. McCarthy said, "The whole reason you have the WhatsApp message is because of the work the House Republicans have been doing. Not just [with] Rep. James Comer (R-KY), not just [with] Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), but this was in Ways and Means under Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO). These are IRS long-term workers who have been through it and watched the abuse of power of how Hunter Biden was treated. [...]"

Prosecutor Reportedly Told Six Witnesses He Was Not Permitted To Charge Hunter Biden. U.S. Attorney David Weiss wanted to bring charges against President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden in Washington, D.C., IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley said on Friday — and when he was reportedly barred from doing so, he told six witnesses. Shapley testified on the matter last month, telling the House Oversight Committee that Weiss revealed in an October 2022, meeting that he had actually wanted to charge Hunter Biden in two federal districts but that he had been denied — and when Attorney General Merrick Garland denied that had ever happened, Shapley publicly named the witnesses he said Weiss had told. "He surprised us by telling us on the charges, 'I'm not the deciding official on whether charges are filed,'" Shapley told the committee when he testified in late May. "He then shocked us with the earth-shattering news that the Biden-appointed D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves would not allow him to charge in his district.

The stuff Hunter Biden didn't get indicted for. Last week, Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his taxes on time. Republicans quickly dismissed it as a sweetheart deal, and they were right. IRS investigators, who did the key work in the investigation, wanted to charge Hunter Biden with felonies. The Justice Department disagreed, choosing instead to reduce the charges to misdemeanors. But those two misdemeanors do not describe the full extent of Biden's tax transgressions.

How Can the Dems Get Rid of Joe? The Biden hits just keep coming. Trust in government is collapsing. Americans are starting to wonder what passes for "normal" in Washington, if this is a return to normalcy. According to Pew Research, only about 20 percent of Americans trust the government to do what's right. That leaves 80 percent who expect government to do what is wrong — as in morally and ethically wrong. Joe's fundraising is also lackluster. Politico reports that the Dems are concerned that Joe isn't inspiring their donor class anymore. If this keeps up, the party isn't going to have the money it needs to steal the next election.

Four Ways the Deep State Betrays Americans. In constructing a system of checks and balances, how did the Founding Fathers empower Americans to defend their freedoms? That's right: by making it perfectly clear through the Second Amendment that self-defense against government tyranny is an inalienable right. Biden says freedom is "under siege," and what does he want to do? Disarm Americans.

Even if this is true, how can anyone believe what Biden says?
Biden says the US and its allies had nothing to do with Wagner Group's rebellion against Russia. President Joe Biden on Monday sought to distance the United States from the weekend rebellion in Russia, insisting in his first public remarks since the episode that the West had nothing to do with the mutiny. Speaking from the White House, Biden suggested it was too early to say how the situation would unfold going forward. And he said he may speak again with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to coordinate their response after conferring in a phone call Sunday.

Someone is lying. Either the Attorney General of the United States or the US Attorney for the District of Delaware is lying about the investigation into Hunter Biden's alleged tax crimes.

Joe Biden to Indian Prime Minister at White House: "I Sold a Lot of State Secrets and a Lot of Very Important Things". Joe Biden held a meeting last week with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and several Indian officials at the White House. During the meeting a VERY CONFUSED Joe Biden blurted out that he sold a lot of state secrets.

Biden: 'I sold a lot of state secrets'. At a meeting with India's Prime Minister Modi on Friday, President Biden said something shocking. So shocking that he quickly added that he was joking. But because the "joke" came as he trailed off his words on another subject, one wonders how calculated it was, or if it was a thought that popped into his addled mind: [Video clip] [...] It was stupid thing to joke about, and appears to have been one of those times when Joe's internal censor failed him.

The Editor says...
When Joe Biden tells you he's a traitor, believe him.

Congress Unmasks a Multi-Year Government Plot to Protect Biden, Sully Trump. When the Justice Department discovered from journalists a storage locker containing evidence against ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, a search was executed immediately. But when IRS agents found a similar storage area containing evidence in the Hunter Biden criminal tax probe, they were denied the right to search despite meeting the probable cause standard, then Biden's lawyers were tipped off, according to new congressional testimony. Likewise, when federal prosecutors believed there was evidence of crimes at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, they launched an unprecedented and full scale-raid on the former president. But when agents wanted to execute a search warrant at Joe Biden's Delaware home because they had probable cause to believe evidence of Hunter Biden tax crimes, they were turned down for a warrant to raid the guest house in which the first son was living.

Did The White House Quietly Admit Biden Was Involved With Hunter's Business Deals? Last week, a whistleblower gave us a flurry of revelations of Biden administration corruption, including interfering with the federal investigation of Hunter Biden as well as evidence that Joe Biden was directly involved in bribing foreign nationals. The recent allegations appear to prove definitively that Joe Biden, despite his repeated denials, was not only very much involved in Hunter's shady foreign business deals but was also a key factor in them. In light of this, the White House appears to have subtly changed its longstanding narrative.

Hunter Biden's Plea Deal: Something Smells Rotten Here. In what only can be described as a bizarre and disturbing turn of events, after a five-year investigation the Justice Department this week announced a plea agreement with Hunter Biden, the troubled son of President Joe Biden. [...] But the closer you look, the worse the plea deal gets. It is not just that Hunter Biden failed to pay his federal income taxes, he did so for two years in which he earned over $1.5 million and owed over $100,000 in taxes. This easily could have been prosecuted as a five-year felony. Does anyone think that other rich businessmen would have gotten such a deal for tax evasion? As two former federal prosecutors, we doubt it. And what of the gun charge? The crime of possession of a firearm by an individual who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance — and there is ample proof that Hunter Biden fit into that category — is sufficiently serious that President Biden signed into law a measure called the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which increased the potential penalty from 10 years to 15 years in prison.

Catastrophic implosion of the rule of law. Miranda Devine broke news of that scandal in the New York Post in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election. It languished in the doldrums of official nonrecognition for years as the regime went into overdrive to keep people, especially voters, from paying any attention to it. Gradually, however, the truth leaked out. First, the authenticity of the laptop was acknowledged. Turns out it was not "Russian disinformation," as those 51 intelligence experts insisted. Nope, it belonged to Hunter all right. At first, the public was titillated by all the sex-drugs-and-rock-n-roll that pervaded that digital trove. Gradually, very gradually, however, the publicly important stuff — the money angle with news of foreign payments apparently to dear-old-dad from various foreigners — began leaking out. Then suddenly, just this last week, the House Ways and Means Committee began dropping bombs.

The Burisma Case in Ukraine and the Hunter Biden Case in the U.S. Were Forged Using the Same Scheme. In order to get Hunter Biden out from under attack the Biden family successfully adopted the Ukrainian experience: as a result, the Ukrainian Burisma case and the American Hunter case are closed under the same scheme — by changing the charges, striking a deal with the investigation, pressuring judicial authorities and fictitious conduct of criminal investigations. The intensified activity of the Oversight and Accountability Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, led by James Comer, and the emergence of more and more evidence of corruption schemes involving the president's family seem to have forced Biden to act unconventionally.

16 Bombshells on Hunter Biden From The IRS Whistleblowers. Two IRS whistleblowers leveled serious allegations about Hunter Biden and the government's investigation of the troubled first son, according to transcripts of testimony released this week. The whistleblowers, IRS supervisory criminal investigator Gary Shapley and a second unnamed IRS investigator, provided evidence to the House Ways and Means Committee that top Justice Department officials stonewalled an investigation into Hunter Biden's taxes and foreign business ventures. They also call into question President Biden's repeated denials that he has no knowledge of his son's business dealings. [...] The FBI authenticated Hunter Biden's laptop as far back as November 2019 and knew the device was not part of a foreign disinformation campaign. Democrats had questioned the authenticity of the laptop after it was released in October 2020. They cast doubt on Delaware computer shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac, who said Biden had abandoned his computer at his store in April 2019. The Biden campaign even orchestrated an initiative to portray the laptop as a Russian intelligence operation.

Was Last Week the Beginning of the End for Biden? Something changed last week inside the Beltway that suggests the people who run the Democratic Party now realize President Biden's tenure in office is not sustainable beyond 2024. The "tell" was not, however, the latest revelation by IRS whistleblowers about his corrupt administration. It was instead the sudden awakening of the White House press corps. The same "reporters" who snored through more than two years of preposterous claims by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and her predecessor simultaneously woke up Friday. Correspondents from media outlets CNN, CBS, NBC, and even the New York Times aggressively questioned Jean-Pierre about the metastasizing Hunter Biden scandals. This wasn't spontaneous. The word has gone out that regime change is coming.

Confirmed: Intel Top Dogs Knowingly Lied When They Said Hunter's Laptop Was Russian Disinformation. It was bad enough that 51 of the nation's top intelligence officials declared in Oct. 2020, at the height of the presidential campaign, that Hunter Biden's laptop "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." But now the flagrant dishonesty of the whole affair has gotten exponentially worse, for any lingering doubt that these officials had access to adequate information when they published their assessment has been put to rest: it has now come to light that the FBI found the laptop to be authentic months before the intelligence officials told the world that it wasn't. The last doubt that the 51 officials were brazenly lying to the American people has been removed.

Bombshell revelation: Hunter paid for secret $300/month 'global phone' used by VP Biden while in office. Shades of Hillary Clinton's "home brew" email server! Ace sleuth Peter Schweizer, who has an impeccable record digging up revelations of the Biden crime family's misdeeds, reveled to Maria Bartiromo Sunday morning that Hunter Biden had been paying for an expensive telephone used by his father, the then-vice president, that could call anywhere on earth. It would be very surprising, indeed, if this phone were equipped with the scrambling devices normally employed to protect secret conversations of US officials, especially when dealing with overseas parties. Were any secrets compromised this way?

Secret Global Phone Biden Used As Vice President Could Reveal 'Tight' Communications With Foreign Nationals: Report. Then-Vice President Joe Biden allegedly used a secret global cell phone paid for by Hunter Biden's business, according to Government Accountability Institute president Peter Schweitzer. Schweitzer, who has documented the Biden family's alleged multiple financiers directly tied to Chinese Communist Party intelligence officials with Hunter during and after the Obama Administration, told Fox News on Sunday that the non-profit organization discovered the private phone line from Hunter's infamous laptop. "And that may be the phone, for example, that the Ukrainian Burisma executive might have used in this allegation that he talked to Joe Biden in recorded conversations," he said. According to Schweitzer, the global phone was serviced through American multinational telecommunications company AT&T for $300 a month that could "access somebody anywhere around the world."

Biden faces backlash for Camp David guest after IRS whistleblower allegations exposed: 'Business to discuss?'. The White House received backlash Saturday after it was reported that Hunter Biden was accompanying his father to Camp David amid bombshell whistleblower allegations of political corruption — along with recently pleading guilty to federal tax charges and agreeing to plea deal on a felony gun charge. The House Ways and Means Committee revealed Thursday its interview with an IRS whistleblower last month who shared a WhatsApp message from 2017 in which Hunter Biden allegedly told a Chinese business associate that he and his father would ensure "you will regret not following my direction."

Comer Says About to Expose More Biden Payments: 'Millions and Millions of Dollars' From 'Adversaries All Over the World'. Chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability James Comer (R-KY) appeared on Newsmax Saturday and promised new evidence of funds wired to the Bidens from foreign countries. As we've reported, bombshell news broke Friday that Hunter Biden received $5.1 [sic] from a Chinese firm after he sent a threatening WhatsApp message to an associate, Henry Zhao. Hunter claimed in the message that he was "sitting here" with his father, a clear effort at intimidation.

Photo From Hunter Biden's Laptop Corroborates Bribery Claims From Whistleblower. Photographs found on Hunter Biden's laptop confirm that the embattled first son was at his father's Wilmington, Del., home on the same day he threatened his Chinese business partner to fulfill his "commitment" while invoking his father's name. On Thursday, the House Ways and Means Committee released transcripts of a WhatsApp conversation between Hunter Biden to his Chinese business partner Henry Zhao, who is associated with CEFC Energy. The conversation was discovered by Gary Shapley, an IRS whistleblower who came forward revealing the Biden administration inappropriately interfered with the investigation of Hunter Biden. In the conversation, which took place on July 30, 2017, Hunter Biden claimed he was sitting next to his father and that "we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled."

IRS Whistleblower Calls Merrick Garland's Bluff, Starts Naming Names. As RedState reported, AG Merrick Garland answered questions on Friday related to the sweetheart deal that was recently given to Hunter Biden. Despite five years of investigation and numerous other possible chargeable crimes, including drugs, sex trafficking, false statements, and tax fraud, the president's son escaped with two misdemeanors, pre-trial diversion, and no jail time. How did things get to that point? An IRS whistleblower named Gary Shapley has been at the center of exposing the DOJ's cover-up of the matter, and Garland's response was to call him a liar without actually saying it directly. [Tweet with video clip]

Whistleblower: FBI Tipped Off 'People Very Close' To Joe And Hunter Before IRS Investigative Team's 'Day Of Action'. The night before an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) criminal investigation team began looking into Hunter Biden's tax crimes was set to conduct key interviews and approach Hunter for a consented search of his home, FBI headquarters allegedly tipped off "people very close to President Biden and Hunter Biden," thwarting the investigation, according to a whistleblower testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee released Thursday. Starting in January 2020, IRS criminal supervisory special agent and whistleblower Gary Shapley and his team of agents began investigating Hunter Biden for tax evasion after incriminating material was found on Hunter's infamous laptop. "I am alleging, with evidence, that DOJ provided preferential treatment, slow-walked the investigation, did nothing to avoid obvious conflicts of interest in this investigation," Shapley told the committee.

8 Cases Where Mishandling of Classified Information Went Unpunished. [#3] President Biden took classified documents from the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) in the Senate when he left to take up his new post as vice president. Those papers were stored in his archive at the University of Delaware, which sealed public access to his records. More egregiously, he was found to have taken classified documents to his private home in Wilmington, Delaware, where they were stored in his garage, next to his Corvette. His son, Hunter Biden, known to have close contacts with foreign business partners and even Chinese intelligence, stayed at the house during the time the classified documents were kept there, and had access to the garage, and was even seen driving the Corvette. Biden also kept boxes of classified materials at his office in the Penn-Biden Center, which regularly received foreign visitors. The University of Pennsylvania, which houses the center, allegedly received donations from Chinese sources that had some connections to the Bidens.

FNC's Turley: It 'Doesn't Fit' Logically that It Took Five Years to Charge Hunter with Things You Could Prove in a Month. On Friday's broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "America Reports," Fox News Contributor and George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley [...] said, "Now, we haven't been able to, obviously, authenticate this information, but what we do know is that these are people that made statements to congressional investigators under the threat of prosecution if they lie. And that comes with an element of credibility. It doesn't mean you have to accept it as true. The same thing... about this message. There's no authentication, but these are chilling statements that are coming from two respected federal employees who are now whistleblowers. The problem that Garland has is that much of this investigation just doesn't fit very well logically. They spent five years to charge violations that you could have established in the first month. And notably, it doesn't include a FARA violation. [...]"

After AG Garland Denies Main Justice Interference, IRS Whistleblower Reveals Names of Witnesses to Show Garland Lying. Things are getting spicy in/around Main Justice in DC. On Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland and Deputy AG Lisa Monaco denied any involvement interfering with the decisions made by USAO David Weiss regarding the investigation of the Hunter and Joe Biden bribery and tax fraud scheme. However, in response, the IRS whistleblower is now naming additional witnesses to Weiss's statements. Through his attorneys, whistleblower Gary Shapley is now naming additional witnesses to the statements of USAO Weiss: [...]

The Designated Defendant: Was Hunter Biden Always the Fall Guy? The reported plea bargain for Hunter Biden was of little surprise to many of us. Indeed, a year ago, I described these very counts as a way to carry out a "controlled demolition" of this scandal. Hunter Biden is, on many levels, a hapless figure of a man, devoured by destructive addictions and appetites. Yet the most tragic aspect of Hunter's life may be his apparent role as the designated defendant of the Biden family. He allegedly became the conduit for what House Republican investigators say was potentially millions of dollars from influence-peddling, including possible payments to his uncle, the widow of his deceased brother, and even Biden grandchildren. In the law, the "designated defendant" is often a chump who is given some impressive title, a good salary, and the authority to sign reports or filings for a corporation. Hunter was clearly more than a simple dupe, but he never had much to offer beyond his name and access to his father.

This Week's Installment in the Saga of Biden Bagman Hunter. Hunter is not to blame — that's what all the Democrat mouthpieces will be telling their fellow Democrat operatives with press passes on all the unwatched, unwatchable network TV shows. It was just the crack cocaine talking. You can already hear the excuses Democrats are going to be offering this morning on the chat shows for Hunter Biden's 2017 bombshell text message to that Red Chinese operative. Using WhatsApp, the smartest man Dementia Joe Biden knows was brazenly demanding to be paid off immediately by the genocidal Communist butchers, threatening to ruin the guy if he didn't come across with the do-re-mi. But Hunter is not to blame — that's what all the Democrat mouthpieces will be telling their fellow Democrat operatives with press passes on all the unwatched, unwatchable network TV shows. George, you must understand that Hunter is a victim. Please remember, Chuck, that the poor boy (he's 53) has a disease. He's a drug addict and an alcoholic.

Whistleblower Transcripts Show Deep-State Election Rigging For Biden Was Way Bigger Than A Laptop. All roads lead to Hunter Biden. That is, all roads paved with (alleged) extortion, bribery, money laundering, tax evasion, prostitution, drug abuse, and, most importantly, election rigging. The roads traversed by Internal Revenue Service agents-turned-whistleblowers — whose disclosures to the House Ways and Means Committee were released as transcripts on Thursday — are no exception. The troubled Biden son has always been at the center of concerns about the 2020 election, in the form of the infamous "Hunter Biden laptop." When reports surfaced in October 2020 of an abandoned laptop showing the dirty details of not only Hunter's shady business enterprises and potentially criminal conduct but also then-presidential candidate Joe Biden's knowledge of and involvement in it, the corrupt Department of Justice joined hands with Big Tech censors and media propagandists to hide the story. This was hugely significant, not only because it exposed the depravity of federal law enforcement and America's information gatekeepers, but also because polling showed that if voters had known the depths of Biden family filth at the time, a potentially scale-tipping number of them would have voted differently in the 2020 election.

The Roof Is Collapsing On Biden. Pretty much everyone now understands that for years, Joe Biden has been taking bribes from foreign countries and interests. Whatever influence he had in the Senate and as vice president has been peddled around the globe, often by his son Hunter. Biden's repeated claims that he knew nothing about his son's business dealings is absurd, given that the only business Hunter was involved in was selling Joe's influence. The most recent blow is the WhatsApp message that Scott wrote about [elsew]here. In keeping with the Democrats' determination to force Biden off the 2024 ticket, the embargo on news about his corruption is lifting. Today the White House press corps went after poor Karine Jean-Pierre. They were so rude as to want to know about the veracity of the message by Hunter Biden in which he tried to extort cash from a Chinese businessman, telling him that "I am sitting here with my father" as the extortion is being carried out: [Tweet with video clip]

House Releases Whistleblower Transcripts and Evidence of Biden Justice Department Interfering in IRS Case Against Hunter Biden. The evidence released by the House Ways and Means Committee today is quite astonishing in detail. In any normal political world, the transcripts, testimony and statements that were released today would destroy the top-tiers of any administration, including the President. The evidence provided by direct testimony and through transcripts, emails and documents that support the testimony is comprehensive in scope. The White House and DOJ claimed that US Attorney David Weiss was able to conduct his investigation of Hunter Biden however he needed, but consider this revelation of how much Main Justice intervened to protect Hunter Biden: "U.S. Attorney of Delaware David Weiss tried to bring charges in District of Columbia around March 2022 and was denied. Weiss sought special counsel status from DOJ in the Spring of 2022 and was denied. Weiss sought to bring charges in the Central District of California in the Fall of 2022 and had that request denied in January 2023." It's not preferential treatment that is outlined in the way the DOJ handles and interfered in the Biden investigation. The evidence outlines something far beyond disparate treatment.

Hunter Biden-linked account received $5 million days after threatening messages: 'Sitting here with my father'. A bank account linked to President Biden's son Hunter Biden received more than $5 million in August 2017, shortly after his threatening messages — in which he said he was "sitting here" with his father — to a Chinese associate revealed this week by an IRS whistleblower, according to documents released by congressional investigators. On Aug. 4, 2017, Chinese firm CEFC Infrastructure Investment wired $100,000 to Hunter Biden's law firm Owasco, according to a 2020 report published by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Then, days later on Aug. 8, 2017, CEFC Infrastructure Investment sent $5 million to Hudson West III, a firm Hunter Biden opened with Chinese associates. The two transactions totaling $5.1 million came within 10 days of messages uncovered Thursday by the House Ways and Means Committee. In the messages — shared to the panel via IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley Jr., who oversaw the agency's probe into Hunter Biden — Hunter Biden blasted business partner Henry Zhao for not fulfilling his "commitment" and said his father was with him.

More evidence the media got the signal to turn against Biden. That's it for Biden. His dementia already is obvious and troubling, and now it sems that the corruption can no longer credibly be denied. It's time to pressure him and Dr. Jill out of running again in 2024. Ideally, if The Kamala Problem can be solved and a chosen instrument 2024 candidate (now looking like Gavin Newsom) installed as vice president so as to become an incumbent after Joe resigns or is taken out via the 25th Amendment, this all can be taken care of before the nominating process gets underway and the troublesome RFK Jr. challenge becomes serious. My sense that an inflection point had been reached, that the powers-that-be have decided that Joe's corruption no longer can be successfully buried, was reinforced when White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was hounded by the assembled reporters. Watch this three-and-a-half-minute Rumble video of the WH press corps behaving as if a Republican were in office: [Video clip]

Here's What Caused the Liberal Press Corps to Turn on Karine Jean Pierre Today. The Biden corruption story is becoming as messy as Hunter Biden's stay at the Chateau Marmont, gaining traction outside conservative media. The Biden White House knew bad news was coming this week: Thursday saw the House Ways and Means reveal credible testimony from IRS whistleblowers that they were hamstrung in their investigations of Hunter Biden. Delaware US Attorney David Weiss wanted to charge Hunter in March 2022 but was blocked. It also doesn't help that everyone can see through Hunter's recent plea deal, where he'll avoid jail on gun and tax evasion charges. That might put out some fires, but there's an emerging wildfire emanating from the alleged bribery scheme Hunter and Joe played with Burisma Holdings co-founder Mykola Zlochevsky, who not only reportedly has a ledger and taped conversations with the men but is also a reported Russian intelligence asset.

Hunter Biden deducted payments to prostitute, sex club from his taxes: whistleblower. Hunter Biden illegally deducted tens of thousands of dollars in payments made to a prostitute and a sex club from his taxes, according to bombshell IRS whistleblower testimony to Congress released on Thursday [6/22/2023]. In a June 1 interview with the House Ways and Means Committee, one whistleblower, an unnamed IRS criminal investigator, detailed how Hunter went to great lengths to underreport his income and avoid paying $106,000 in taxes — including by writing off his sex escapades as business expenses. "So some of the items that he deducted were personal no-show employees. He deducted payments that were made to who he called his West Coast assistant, but she was essentially a prostitute," the whistleblower, who worked on the agency's investigation into alleged tax fraud perpetrated by President Biden's son on his 2018 return, alleged in his testimony. Another whistleblower, IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley, told the committee on May 26 that he found several instances of Hunter improperly expensing flights for prostitutes.

Whistleblower: Federal Prosecutors Have Evidence Joe Biden Met with Hunter's Chinese Energy Client CEFC. The House Ways and Means Committee on Thursday released devastating depositions detailing accounts of Biden corruption from two IRS whistleblowers. The two IRS whistleblowers told lawmakers about the Justice Department's effort to block search warrants and cover-up Hunter Biden's tax crimes. House Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith (R-MO) on Thursday detailed multiple felony charges that whistleblowers said the IRS recommended against Hunter Biden.

With Biden, Talk of 25th Amendment Is Muted. President Joe Biden delivered a speech at the National Safer Communities Summit at the University of Hartford in Connecticut on Friday. He ended with the bizarre statement, "Alright. God save the queen, man." That quote is in the official White House transcript, hilariously enough. It received considerable online mockery and immediate media "contextualizing." He's used this phrase in inappropriate moments before, they say, as though that makes it OK now. [Tweet] Let's break this quote down just a bit. First, Britain's long-serving Queen Elizabeth II has been dead for more than nine months now, so Biden's a bit late on that front if she's the queen he's referring to. Maybe he meant God save the drag queens? [...] Who knows, but it certainly could be another sign that the president is experiencing serious, and obvious, mental decline. This is hardly the first time Biden has said something strange in a public setting. Biden's weird "joke" wasn't even the first head-scratching moment in Friday's speech.

Fact-Checking Slow Joe. Is this another sign that the Democrats are preparing to move on from Joe Biden in 2024? I don't know, but CNN's newfound willingness to fact-check Biden seems significant. Here, CNN finds that pretty much everything Biden says about firearms, among other things, is wrong: [...] Fact-checking Joe Biden poses difficulties. For one thing, you first have to figure out what he is trying to say. Beyond that, just about everything Biden says is wrong, so fact-checking him could be a full-time job. Still, it is interesting that after years of running interference for Biden, some Democratic Party news outlets are starting to throw him under the bus.

Hunter Biden failed to pay taxes on $8.3 million in income and the DOJ Rejected U.S. attorney bids to bring charges. The House Ways and Means Committee released bombshell new whistleblower testimony Thursday claiming that Hunter Biden failed to pay taxes on $8.3 million in income and the Department of Justice denied attempts to bring charges in other states. The testimony revealed that U.S. Attorney David Weiss — the Trump-era holdover who prosecuted the case against Hunter Biden — allegedly asked for special counsel status and was denied by the Department of Justice. Weiss also allegedly tried to bring charges against Hunter in Washington D.C. and California in the fall of 2022 and had that request denied in January 2023.

Biden's Economic Program is Made in China. As reported by New York Times Magazine at the time, Joe Biden's goal was to transform the economy from the get-go: "The Biden Team Wants to Transform the Economy. Really." Nearly two-and-a-half years later, the damage and chaos of that transformation process are obvious: continuing high inflation (especially energy, food, and gasoline prices), rising interest rates, recession predictions, a stagnant economy, depleted individual savings, sky-high credit card debt, and other indications of stagflation and recession. Who has benefited from the Biden economy? Green new deal grifters benefit from the gargantuan tax subsidies and federal spending on transitioning the US economy from hydrocarbon energy sources to "clean" sources, especially solar and wind energy. The communist Chinese are happy to benefit from Biden economic policies that ultimately mandate and subsidize green products from Chinese companies at the expense of the US companies who produce and use hydrocarbons.

The Toughest Job In D.C. — Transcribing Biden's Remarks. Watching President Joe Biden try to make his way through a speech is painful enough. Reading a transcript of it is worse. Not just because Biden's words are even more confusing in print, but because you start to feel a strong sense of pity for the person responsible for figuring out what he is trying to say, how much of it to transcribe verbatim, and which facts to correct. We looked through Biden's remarks from just this month and found 15 instances where the transcriber felt compelled to make corrections on things the president said.

Hunter Biden Threatened 'My Father' Could 'Hold A Grudge' In Extortive Message To Chinese Associate Revealed By Whistleblower. In testimony presented by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley to members of Congress and released publicly by the Ways and Means Committee on Thursday, a WhatsApp message purportedly sent by Hunter Biden to Chinese businessman Henry Zhao reveals the younger Biden using threats of his father's political power to extort unfulfilled "promises and assurances" from Zhao. "I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled," the message reads. "I am very concerned that the Chairman has either changed his mind and broken our deal without telling me or that he is unaware of the promises and assurances that have been made that have not been kept."

Transcript Shows Joe Biden [was] in the Room While Hunter Biden Threatened Chinese Officials. The House Ways and Means Committee has released new transcripts that are blowing the lid off Joe Biden's involvement in his son's nefarious foreign dealings. According to the released report on the matter, Hunter Biden told Henry Zhao, one of his Chinese paymasters at the time, "I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled." That conversation happened over WhatsApp in 2017. [Tweet] [...] Henry Zhao was a key figure in securing a major investment deal with Chinese backers that handsomely paid Hunter Biden and his associates, who presumably include his father given what's in the message. According to the IRS whistleblower cited in the House report, though the FBI did eventually authenticate the message, they dragged their feet in doing so. Just as troubling, Zhao has also been implicated as a Chinese spy and has deep ties to the Chinese communist party.

Understand the Biden Plea Deal for What It Is: Evidence. After 5 years of investigation, and a damning amount of publicly available evidence, Hunter Biden got a sweetheart plea deal from the Department of Justice. The son of the President was given a deal that would have never been offered to Donald Trump, and we all know it. He pled guilty to two misdemeanor tax violations which will probably result in a couple of fines. He was also given a diversion program for a weapons charge. The left wants to further restrict our access to instruments of self-defense — because "something must be done." Yet Hunter lied on a federal affidavit to illegally obtain a firearm, lost it near a school, and will face no significant consequences. The plea deal boils down to no jail time, and nothing to discourage further bad behavior. The political right has understandably exploded with outrage.

All the crimes that Hunter's ridiculous plea deal missed. For years, the political and media elite have struggled to "resolve" the disaster that is Hunter. They have finally done so with a long-predicted "controlled demolition" of the scandal by having the president's son plead guilty to a couple of minor tax violations without a serious threat of jail time. They even threw in a phantom felony allegation that will evaporate once Hunter completes a diversion program. The diversion program is particularly insulting to the intelligence of the American people. Hunter is reportedly no longer an addict, having attended treatment and taken up painting. Yet he will be treated like he is a junkie picked up in a drug sweep, and everyone will pretend that this is about addiction rather than corruption. The Justice Department continues to refuse to confirm what it means by an "ongoing investigation," but it had often used this claim to refuse to share material with Congress.

Will the Grand Jury Fall for the Hunter Biden Theatrics? Hunter Biden lied on his own federal gun purchase form in October of 2018; responding "no" to a question that asked, "Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?" Lying on the form is a felony. But the Democrats want the American voter to believe that justice has been served; more importantly they hope to use this superficial 'punishment' to convince the American people that the Biden DOJ is fair. The slap on the wrist is the culmination of a nearly five-year investigation into Hunter Biden. The case wasn't complicated. Hunter Biden didn't pay his taxes. He failed to pay $100,000 to the IRS for 2017 and at least as much in 2018. Ditto his felony as it related to lying on a federal form to purchase a firearm. He lied. What took so long to get 'justice'? The DOJ dragged their feet on this case for years — effectively ignoring it during the 2020 presidential election.

Joe Biden Is Not OK. The other day, Joe Biden ended a big gun-control speech in Connecticut with the words, "God save the queen, man." Why did the president express adoration for the departed Brit monarch? [...] When asked about the incident, White House aides offered nonsensical and conflicting answers — because they have absolutely no idea, and neither does the president. It's likely that the octogenarian spontaneously used a cool-sounding phrase, much like when your elderly neighbor tells you to "keep on truckin,'" for no apparent reason. It happens. Yet, Axios writer Alex Thompson points out that Biden "has an arsenal of wacky phrases." And the president's "quirky aphorisms," he contends, "are sometimes weaponized by Republicans to insinuate the 80-year-old president is in mental decline." There is no need for insinuation. Biden's mental acuity, never impressive, has considerably deteriorated.

Did The FBI Prevent Delaware Agents From Investigating Biden Bribery Allegations? Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, rarely asks a question to which he doesn't know the answer. When the question concerns the politicization and weaponization of the FBI, you can bet some [embarrassing] information rests behind his query. So when Grassley asked on Thursday whether bribery was within the parameters of Delaware's investigation into Hunter Biden, it likely means the FBI defined the scope of the federal investigation into the president's son so narrowly that agents lacked the authority to properly probe a "highly credible" confidential human source's reporting implicating the Biden family. Specifically, the CHS reported that Hunter and Joe Biden each received $5 million in bribes from the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma.

How to throw the Hunter Biden 'justice' outcome straight into Joe Biden's face. The decision by the Department of Justice to charge Hunter Biden for two mere misdemeanors for massive tax evasion linked to the foreign payoffs he took, and put him in a "diversion program" with dismissal likely for lying about his drug use and possible drug distribution activies on his gun ownership application drives home to most Americans that we have a two-tier system of justice. It's not just in striking contrast to the cascade of charges being leveled at President Trump on questionable matters as he seeks to re-run for office. It's that any one of us, faced with the same charges at the same scale would be thrown into the slammer for the rest of our lives.

Joe Biden now relegated to the backdoor of Air Force One. The sight of a President of the United States ascending or descending the stairs to the entrance of Air Force One, often waving from beside that thick door with the Seal of the President of the United States visible on it inside, is one of the iconic images of the presidency, full of the majesty of the office and the drama of the giant airliner known for decades as "the queen of the skies" (sadly, no longer in production)[.] Apparently, we will no longer be treated to such a sight for the 46th President of the United States. Suddenly, Joe Biden has started using the backdoor of the plane, boarding into the belly of the bird, where normally subalterns, journalists, caterers and the like ascend the short stairs.

Hunter Biden's Lawyer Makes Some Astonishing Comments About the Laptop During Interview. After waiting for five years to see what was going to happen in the investigation into Hunter Biden and the Biden family influence-peddling allegations, the Department of Justice finally decided to enter into a plea agreement on counts only concerning individual counts about Hunter — two about his taxes and one gun charge. [...] What's interesting in there as well is that it says at the bottom: "The investigation is ongoing." There are a couple of schools of thought on that. One is they are continuing to look into things. I wouldn't feel particularly confident about that being the case, given everything we've seen so far. The other school of thought, which makes more sense to me, is that they're going to say the "investigation is ongoing" so they don't have to comment on evidence and/or so they don't have to turn things over to Congress.

The Great White Hunter Privilege. Presidential son Hunter Biden got the deal of a lifetime when he agreed to plead guilty to a pair of federal tax charges and a single federal firearm offense. He will reportedly be placed on probation for the former and dodge punishment altogether for the latter. In effect, he just has to say "sorry" for "owing in excess of $100,000 in federal income taxes" in 2017 and 2018 but failing to pay "the income tax due for either year." To walk away from the charge that he lied on a form during a gun purchase (he said he did not have a drug problem), he evidently has to do no more than attend a diversion program. Could any of us have received such a cushy arrangement for the same crimes from the Justice Department? Could a son of Donald Trump, or the son of any prominent Republican lawmaker, get off so easy? C'mon, man. We all know the answer. It's good to be a Biden.

Hunter Biden Gets Probation For $1M In Tax Evasion, Gun Charge. Hunter Biden had been caught red-handed with enough bad stuff that the feds couldn't just do the Hillary thing and announce that "no reasonable prosecutor" would ever prosecute a guy evading seven figures in taxes. They just do the usual pro-crime thing and treat it as a misdemeanor and hand out probation. So many street things are benefiting from this brand of progressive justice, why not the president's own thug? [...] The average jail time for tax evasion is 3 [to] 5 years. However the average jail time for the crackhead spawn of presidents is zero. The tax code states that, "Any person who willfully attempts in any manner to evade or defeat any tax imposed by this title or the payment thereof shall, in addition to other penalties provided by law, be guilty of a felony." But the tax code doesn't apply to Bidens.

Why Is This Man Laughing? Biden served as a government official from January 1973 through January 2017 and then again since January 2021. For most of his long life Biden has pulled down a government salary. What was his road to riches?

How Did Biden Really Make His Millions? It's Time For A Special Counsel To Find Out. "Where's the money?" That was President Joe Biden's response when asked last week about allegations that he had "sold out the country," a response that he then clarified as a joke. It's no joke any more though. In the wake of a whistleblower report of a $5 million bribe allegedly accepted by then-Vice President Biden to influence policy in Ukraine, Republican lawmakers are now demanding transparency from the president regarding the substantial income he reported on his 2017 taxes. The questions are long overdue. I first asked, "Where Is Hunter Biden's Money?" just before the 2020 election, noting that civilian Biden had reported $9.5 million in income for fiscal year 2017 — almost twice as much as he had earned in the prior 19 years combined. A subsequent piece last year analyzed the accepted premise that this money had come from his book deal with Flatiron Books. What I found was that "a notable $8.7 million gap exists between (his income tax-reported) $9.5 million net income in 2017 and the $809,709 of disclosed income in that year from book tour and related speaking events," and "since his disclosure covers only part of 2017, we lack the insight into other income that may explain it."

The Corrupt Hunter Biden Plea Deal is a Cover-Up. Two-thirds of federal tax offenders get prison time. The average sentence is 14 months. In some ways, Hunter Biden is average. The average federal tax offender is a 52-year-old white male, Hunter is 53. But Hunter is special in one way and only one way: his last name. And so Hunter walks away with probation after pleading guilty to tax evasion charges. Hunter was allowed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax offenses with no mention of the felony count of tax evasion that prosecutors had been reportedly considering. What happened to that felony charge? The same thing that happened to the other charges. Tax evasion penalties are supposed to punitively rise when sophisticated schemes are used to evade taxes. The House Oversight Committee recently exposed dozens of shell companies and millions of dollars in wire transfers. These "sophisticated" setups have not been addressed. Unlike other tax evasion cases involving international financial transfers, the question wasn't even raised.

DOJ Sentenced Famous Rappers to Years in Federal Prison on Gun Charges — But Hunter Biden Given Slap on Wrist for Same Charge. News broke on Tuesday morning that Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to multiple criminal charges according to CNN. The investigation into Hunter Biden has supposedly lasted five years. After five years of investigation the Biden DOJ found Hunter Biden guilty of TWO MISDEMEANORS and ONE GUN CHARGE! Of course, this is a complete bastardization of the US Justice System. The serial criminal is slapped with misdemeanors after we know he was using classified documents leaked to him by his father to set up lucrative deals with foreign officials. Hunter will serve NO TIME in prison for his latest criminal actions.

Turley on Hunter Biden Plea Deal: 'This Is Going to Look Like You Ticketed the Getaway Driver After a Bank Robbery'. Tuesday, during an appearance on FNC's "America's Newsroom" after the announcement of the plea deal for Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, Fox News legal analyst and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley warned the perception of the agreement would not be well received by many. According to Turley, given the avoidance of jail and the lack of a mention of serious charges, the deal would reinforce the belief that there is a double standard within federal law enforcement. "This plea deal has the makings of an avoidance of any jail time," he said.

Hunter Biden's 'sweetheart plea deal' won't stop House Oversight probe into Biden 'family schemes,' Comer says. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer vowed Tuesday to continue his panel's investigation into the Biden family's business "schemes" and said Hunter Biden's "sweetheart plea deal" will have no effect on the ongoing probe. Comer, R-Ky., made the comments just after a plea deal was reached that would spare Biden jail time over for tax and gun charges. "These charges against Hunter Biden and sweetheart plea deal have no impact on the Oversight Committee's investigation," Comer said. "We will not rest until the full extent of President Biden's involvement in the family's schemes are revealed."

Joe Biden brags that his foreign policy record is as good as anyone's in history — including Henry Kissinger. Joe Biden bragged that his foreign policy record is one of the best in U.S. history at a California fundraiser where rich donors paid $100,000 for a photo with the president. The 80-year-old then bizarrely likened himself to the controversial veteran diplomat Henry Kissinger, Richard Nixon's secretary of state, during his 34-minute speech. 'I'm going to say something outrageous. I think I know as much about American foreign policy as anybody living, including Dr. Kissinger,' he told a group of wealthy Democrats at the home of a leading venture capitalist.

GOP says president's son's plea deal is just a 'distraction' from alleged $10 million bribery scheme. Republicans are unsatisfied with Hunter Biden's guilty plea in his tax fraud case - calling it a 'sweetheart deal' and a 'distraction' from the more scurrilous bribery allegations they are probing. Hunter Biden's lawyers have reached a deal with prosecutors that would see him plead guilty to two tax crimes and resolve his gun form violation but likely avoid jail time, according to new Justice Department filings. Speaker Kevin McCarthy said the new plea deal would actually help the House GOP's investigation because the Department of Justice could not use a pending investigation to withhold information.

Hunter Biden Has Agreed to Plead Guilty to Multiple Criminal Charges. Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to multiple criminal charges according to CNN. The investigation into Hunter Biden has lasted five years.

Biden Doesn't Know What Year It Is, Has to Be Led Around by the Hand. Joe Biden was again at his beach house in Delaware for more vacation over the weekend. He then left there on Monday and flew to Santa Clara County, California, to deliver remarks about climate change and the environment. He's later scheduled to go to a campaign reception. At his climate remarks were Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and California Gov. Gavin Newsom (who some think may be pushing something of a shadow campaign to take over if Biden can't continue his campaign). But the time in Delaware doesn't seem to have rejuvenated him. What he said prompted more calls for him to step aside and for people to invoke the 25th Amendment. [Tweet with video clip]

Democrats Are Horrible People. We also have to count the current occupant of the Oval Office among the worst. Joe Biden, known for being inappropriate and the touching and senile sniffing of women and young girls, got himself some side-boob this week from actress Eva Longoria. No female staffer wants to be alone with Joe in a secluded area that's almost as dangerous as being between Chuck Schumer and a camera, as Tara Reade learned the hard way. But Joe doesn't need to be in private to get his freak on, nor does his wife — whose ex-husband claims started her relationship with Joe while they were still married; happily, he thought (making it adultery) — have to be out of town or even distracted. She knows what she married, and several mansions and a stint in the White House is a small price to pay for a little public humiliation, especially when you know the traditional media won't ever mention it.

There is no Joe Biden campaign or headquarters. Jesse Watters [Transcript]: Biden was supposed to be the bridge from an old generation to the new and just stop Trump and let Kamala take over next election, but that can happen. That bridge blew up, so Biden testing his luck running for reelection without a pandemic. So, this time, we're going to get a real Joe Biden in front of a crowd for an entire campaign. This has never happened in the history of Biden's career. Every time you put Biden in front of a crowd, he had to drop out of the race immediately. [...] Joe may pay his taxes, but his son doesn't. Primetime did an investigation into the so-called Joe Biden campaign. There's no campaign. He has no headquarters. He has no finance department. And you ready? "Jesse Watters Primetime" has more staff than the Joe Biden reelection campaign. We counted.

Biden/Harris: A Succession Not Worth Contemplating. It's near-certain that President Biden won't make it through a second term. It's not at all unlikely that he won't make it through the 2024 election. From the way he's been carrying on lately, he may not make it until the end of the year. And even if he does make it through the election, his understudy is even more alarming. [...] I've long suspected that, in 2008, Barack Obama selected as his running mate/life insurance the only guy in the Senate that was dumber than he was. And Joe Biden, in selecting his VP nominee, applied that same principle. But at least she checked all the right diversity boxes, as much good as it's done her.

Facts Of Biden Bribery Investigation Expose Old NYT Reporting As FBI-Fueled Fake News. The month before Joe Biden's inauguration, FBI sources collaborated with The New York Times' Russia-collusion hoaxer Adam Goldman to falsely portray the investigation into Hunter Biden as a big ole nothingburger. Americans just didn't know it at the time. However, revisiting Goldman's article now, in light of recent whistleblower revelations and statements by former Attorney General William Barr, reveals this reality — and more. On Dec. 11, 2020, The New York Times published Goldman's piece, "Material from Giuliani Spurred a Separate Justice Dept. Pursuit of Hunter Biden." [...] The article was replete with falsehoods and deceptive narratives, all designed to create the appearance that the investigation into the son of the soon-to-be president was politically motivated and lacking in merit. The piece was transparently timed to hit within days of Hunter Biden announcing Delaware prosecutors were investigating him for tax crimes.

Banana Republic: Thirty million for the Big Guy? When we talk banana republics, it's not just throwing one's political opponents in jail ahead of election time. It's not solely a falling currency and high inflation. It's not purely threats, mobs, and gang warfare on elected leaders. Nor is it the emerging presence of shantytowns, brought on by unregulated human migration. It's corruption, massive, massive, corruption, the kind that brings to mind Mobotu, Marcos, Saddam Hussein, Gadhafi, Castro, Hugo Chavez, and Flight Lieutenant Jerry Rawlings, all of whom died with vast fortunes with no explanation as to how they acquired it. Sadly, as Biden prepares to throw his political opponent, Donald Trump, in jail for 400 years on an unprecedented documents-mishandling charge, we have reports of vast corruption rolling out about his own money activities from Congress.

There have been "questions about who's in charge" since Biden was installed as president.
New Report About Biden Reaching out to China Raises New Questions About Who's in Charge. The first question I have is who spied on who here? It's the Chinese who spied on us and have been making all kinds of aggressive moves. Yet Biden acts like we're the ones in the wrong here. Like he has to go "smooth things over" (in the words of the officials) and kowtow to the Chinese. As I reported at the time, Biden said the U.S. wasn't "looking for conflict". But that's the exact time you're supposed to make a strong face to the Chinese, not act like everything is normal when they've made some pretty offensive and aggressive moves toward us. This is the height of weakness from Biden, and it's a big loss of face to the Chinese. No wonder they think they can run right over him. He also said the relationship hadn't taken a "big hit" and he knew that because he spoke to them. [Tweet]

Hunter Biden gave his passport details to Burisma executives to set up [an] account with a corrupt foreign bank. Hunter Biden and his Ukrainian gas firm employer were involved in setting up an account with a foreign bank that was shut down after a money laundering investigation. Burisma, the allegedly corrupt Ukrainian gas firm that hired the President's son in 2014, set up an account with him in Malta at a bank that later closed following a financial crimes probe, bombshell emails show. The revelation that the First Son and Burisma are linked to a bank accused of flouting money laundering rules, comes after claims made by a longstanding FBI informant revealed this month by lawmakers, that Burisma's owner sent $10 million to Hunter and his father using a complex web of offshore transactions.

Comer Plans To Bring In 'Key Witnesses' In Biden Family Probe. Congressional investigators will have "key figures" appear for depositions in an investigation into allegations of influence peddling levied against President Joe Biden and his family, according to a top Republican lawmaker. During an interview with Fox News, House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) shared insight into what steps his panel will take as it ramps up its inquiry into what he has described as a pattern of millions of dollars flowing to Biden and his relatives from foreign nationals under suspicious circumstances.

The Bidens Are About to Get 'Harvey Weinstein-ed'. Mark my words; Joe Biden will not run in 2024 because too many people are waking up to his crimes. Even the Communist News Network (CNN) has begun discussing it. Watch when reporters ask Biden about the bribes. Normally he doesn't respond to questions he doesn't like. But when it comes to his bribes he can't shut up. Gropey Joe's mocking laughter can't hide the truth. He foolishly — and vomitously — spews out painful answers, from "I'm an honest man" to "Why don't you stop asking dumb questions?" [...] As a 34-year veteran of standup comedy, I have learned a few skills, one of which is the ability to judge reactions. I believe Biden's arrogance is fleeting. He is scared. I see it in his dead, kiddie-groping eyes. He is beginning to panic, [...]. Biden isn't afraid of jail. He fears something which — to him — is much worse. He knows he and his family will go down as the most corrupt presidential clan in American history unless the globalists win, in which case nothing will be written about it and I will end up in a gulag fighting rats for moldy cabbage.

Maria Bartiromo on Biden Family Crimes: "Of course, It Is the Biggest Political Scandal Any of Us Have Ever Seen". Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning. The Republican representatives gave updates on the ongoing investigations into the Biden Crime Family. At one point, Maria Bartiromo pointed out the obvious, "Of course, it is the biggest political scandal any of us have ever seen." Republicans continue to discover more concrete evidence of the multi-million dollar Biden family bribery scandal with foreign governments including Ukraine and China.

Everything We Know About The Biden Bribery Scheme From The FBI Document. Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley and House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer of Kentucky dropped a bombshell subpoena last month demanding the FBI hand over a document alleging a bribery scheme between President Joe Biden and a "foreign national." On May 3, the pair of GOP lawmakers requested congressional access to an unclassified FD-1023 form, a document used by the bureau to catalog information from a confidential human source. The FBI record suggests President Biden took a foreign bribe during his time in the Obama administration. After more than a month-long back-and-forth between agency leadership and Capitol Hill wherein House Republicans even prepared contempt proceedings for FBI Director Christopher Wray, members of Congress were finally able to review the document Thursday.

Hunter Biden and Family Might Be In More Trouble Than We Could Have Dreamed. Hunter Biden and the Biden Family China Scandal Allegedly Getting Worse — The drip-drip-drip nature of the Biden family China scandal is becoming more apparent as House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer said back on March 19 that there may be as many as 11 more transactions between two Chinese companies and the Bidens. Comer and the Republicans on the committee are investigating the instances of Chinese firms State Energy HK Limited along with CEFC China Energy conducting monetary transfers of more than the $3 million originally thought. State Energy HK Limited was found to have sent the $3 million to a Biden associate in 2017. The money was then divided among three Biden family members, Comer said on March 16.

Nothing bad will happen to Joe Biden as long as he is useful to the nameless people who pull his strings.

Obama official claims to have the goods on Biden. Despite slogging along through months of the legacy media studiously ignoring the ongoing allegations of corruption inside Biden Inc., the word seems to be getting around. More people are emerging from the shadows with stories of their own that they've kept quiet about for years or even decades. The latest is a man named Mike McCormick. [...] McCormick asserts that, like many others, he delivered a tip to the FBI about these affairs and offered to come in to provide testimony, but he was ignored. His position is an interesting one, being privy to many of the secrets of presidential administrations. Transcriptionists, similar to translators, tend to fade into the background to the point where officials barely notice them. But they are always there, recording what takes place and witnessing sensitive conversations. They are relied on for their discretion as much as anything else, but apparently, Mr. McCormick has heard enough and won't hold his tongue any longer.

Hunter Biden's Maltese Bank Account Opened by Burisma Amid FBI Allegations of $10 Million Bribe. Emails from the Biden laptop shed light on Burisma's opening of a Maltese bank account for Hunter Biden in the spring of 2016. This newly discovered development coincides with the allegations made by an FBI source, suggesting that Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder of Burisma Holdings, allegedly paid a $5 million bribe each to then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. In 2014, Ukraine initiated criminal cases against Zlochevsky and Burisma, the company where Hunter Biden held a board position and received substantial compensation. Zlochevsky, who faced investigations for money laundering and public corruption, allegedly employed the Vice President's son to leverage his political influence in order to halt the investigations. According to the FBI whistleblower document, the pay-for-play scheme is outlined, with Zlochevsky purportedly safeguarding 17 audio recordings of conversations with the Bidens as an "insurance policy." Among these recordings are two alleged conversations with then-Vice President Biden himself.

Devon Archer Talking to Oversight Committee May Have Bidens Sweating. Joe Biden may be trying to duck questions about the bribery form, as you can see [elsewhere]. He doesn't seem to think that American people have any right to know the truth. However, Biden ducking the questions isn't stopping the investigation. It involves far more than just that one incident, although that certainly is the thing that has justifiably grabbed a lot of attention now since it allegedly involved bribing Biden and his son Hunter for actions while Joe was vice president. As we reported, the House Oversight Committee has new information coming in which Chair James Comer (R-KY) thinks will bring the records of payments they can document to the Bidens from foreign nationals to about $30 million, and they're not done yet. They've also subpoenaed Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, to testify about what he knows. Archer was a critical figure and likely has a ton of information that he could reveal about all the dealings with foreign nationals.

What if Hunter Biden is guilty? [Scroll down] So, yes, Robert Hunter Biden is a liar whose behavior — including his affair with his dead brother's wife — is cruel and psychopathic. He would be merely another cokehead scumbag, except for his last name. Which afforded him certain opportunities. The story of Hunter's efforts to trade on his father's position are not new. In fact, as early as December 2015, as Joe Biden visited Ukraine, the New York Times wrote that the "the credibility of the vice president's anticorruption message may have been undermined by the association of his son, Hunter Biden, with one of Ukraine's largest natural gas companies." In October 2019, the investigative reporter Peter Schweizer made the case more explicitly, again in the New York Times: ["]As vice president, Joe Biden served as point person on American policy toward China and Ukraine. In both instances, his son Hunter, a businessman, landed deals he was apparently unqualified to score save for one thing: his father.["] The investigation into Hunter's alleged tax crimes — and the clear evidence that he lied on a federal firearms purchase form by failing to disclose his drug use — has also been going on for quite some time.

Tucker Carlson Takes Aim At 'Wannabe Dictator' Biden. Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson took aim at President Joe Biden, whom he branded a "wannabe dictator," in an episode of "Tucker on Twitter" released Thursday. Carlson lambasted the president's leadership in his fourth episode of the popular series, "Tucker on Twitter." He called out the media and the Biden administration for punishing those who dare label the president with this title, including Fox News for reportedly firing an employee for labeling the president as a "wannabe dictator" in a chyron. "If the banner on Fox was false, why the hysteria?" Carlson said. "Lies don't seem to bother anyone anymore. If some cable news producer had called Joe Biden a genius or accused him of being secretly Sudanese, would anyone be yelling about it? Would Fox News have apologized for it? Probably not. But calling Joe Biden a wannabe dictator, that stung. So you've got to wonder, if you're being honest with yourself, is Joe Biden a wannabe dictator?" [Tweet with video clip]

Amtrak Joe And The Trans-Pacific, Trans-Indian Railroad. Some of the best advice ever given was from Mark Twain, who said "it's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt." We're not saying Joe Biden is stupid, but his comment about "plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean," removes all doubt that he is all there. Speaking Wednesday evening before the League of Conservation Voters' annual dinner, Biden waxed ineloquently: "We're talking about building — and I had my team putting together with other countries as well — to build a railroad from the Pacific Ocean — from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the Indian Ocean." Reports said he also rambled on about a proposal to build a line across sub-Saharan Africa.

Biden Says He Plans to Build a 'Railroad From the Pacific All the Way Across the Indian Ocean'. President Joe Biden said that his administration plans to build a transoceanic railroad spanning thousands of miles and two of the world's largest oceans in remarks delivered during a Wednesday evening speech in Washington, D.C. Biden made the confusing gaffe during a dinner speech at an event hosted by the League of Conservation Voters. "We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean," he said, seemingly unaware of the logistical hurdles that would need to be cleared in order to do so.

Biden is too old and feeble for the job and swing voters are noticing. Two online focus groups of swing voters in North Carolina caught the attention of Axios and they reported on them. It is not good news for Joe Biden and his bid for re-election. The groups were comprised of 11 North Carolinians. They were a mix of three registered Democrats, one registered Republican, and seven independents. It should be noted at the top that this is a very small sample of voters, too small for any significance but it does give a general feel of how voters are thinking and talking about current events. Before anyone gets too excited that swing voters think Biden is too old to be president, nine out of the 11 participants said they would vote for Biden in 2024 if he is running against Trump.

Joe Biden Announces Ambitious Plan to Build a Railroad 'All the Way Across the Indian Ocean'. Wednesday night, Joe Biden announced a bizarre and implausible plan to build a railroad that stretches across the entire Indian Ocean. In remarks to the League of Conservation Voters during their Annual Capital Dinner, Biden said: "You know, soon — soon, Africa will have 1 billion people. China has their Belt and Road Initiative. It turned out to be their debt and destruction initiative. No, I'm serious. Not a joke. Well, we're going to win, and we're going to help." He added: "We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean. We have plans to build in Angola, one of the largest solar plants in the world. I could go on, but I'm not. I'm going off script. I'm going to get in trouble." [Tweet with video clip]

$10M Mysteriously Appeared in Biden's Bank Account in 2017. Now Republicans Are Asking Why. President Joe Biden's S-corp, known as 'CelticCapri', received nearly $10 million in 2017 without the origins being specified, which is now leading Republicans to demand transparency. Upon a closer look at Biden's finances, "[r]eaders were left with a smokescreen," according to the Federalist, which found no trace of S-corp tax returns to the tune of millions in that year. A certified public accountant from Allison Financial Services, Jerry Allison, argues, "the lack of detail should raise concern for House investigators" as further allegations of Biden's potentially incriminating financial affairs come to light. As a result, Republican lawmakers have announced their intention to seek clarification from Biden on the matter. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) asserted, "Biden should disclose and every member of the press ought to hound him until he does."

The Democrat party has a big Kamala problem. The Democrats have a huge problem named Kamala Harris, and it's getting worse. I don't expect Joe Biden to be on the 2024 presidential ballot because the cabal that installed him as the 2020 nominee, and that engineered the "shadow campaign" that installed him (and Dr. Jill) in the White House, absolutely abhors the possibility of a Republican winning the race. Despite all the happy talk relentlessly parroted by the propaganda organs we call the "legacy media," he is unpopular, and it's getting worse. Dr. Jill's desire for the perks and prestige of office notwithstanding, there is more than enough blackmail material that could land a number of people with the surname Biden in prison to persuade Joe that it's time to leave office, if the puppeteers threaten to remove the protective shield that's been imposed on the DOJ and the media. That leaves the problem of finding a replacement nominee who could win. That pretty much excludes Kamala, who has become a joke.

Biden snaps at reporter who asks him why he's referred to as 'Big Guy' in FBI Ukraine file. President Joe Biden on Thursday snapped at a reporter who asked him why he was called 'Big Guy' by an executive of Ukrainian energy company Burisma. The nickname was revealed in an FBI memo that Republicans claim proves Biden was at the center of a $5 million cash for influence bribery scheme when he was vice president, a source told DailyMail.com. DailyMail.com revealed earlier this week that the executive has also kept 17 audio recordings of phone calls with Joe and Hunter as an 'insurance policy.'

Top Republican James Comer says new Biden bank records will show family accepted between $20-30 million from foreign nationals. Oversight Chair James Comer now claims he will soon obtain bank records showing the Biden family accepted upwards of $20 to $30 million from foreign nationals. 'We have more bank records coming in going to exceed $10 million, this week. And I think we will get between $20 and 30 million,' Comer, R-Ky., told Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo. Earlier this week, Sen. Chuck Grassley said the Burisma executive who allegedly paid Joe Biden a bribe has kept 17 audio recordings of phone calls as an 'insurance policy.'

The Bidens 'Coerced' Burisma To Pay $10 Million In Bribes, Says Credible FBI Source. The Bidens allegedly "coerced" a foreign national to pay them $10 million in bribes, according to individuals familiar with the investigation into the FBI's handling of the FD-1023 confidential human source report. What, if anything, agents did to investigate these explosive claims remains unknown, however, with sources telling The Federalist the FBI continues to stonewall. On Monday, Sen. Chuck Grassley revealed a foreign national — identified by individuals with knowledge of the matter as Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky — allegedly possessed 17 recordings implicating the Bidens in a pay-to-play scandal. While 15 of the audio recordings consisted of phone calls between Zlochevsky and Hunter Biden, two were of calls the Ukrainian had with then-Vice President Joe Biden, according to the FD-1023.

Biden, progressives and the perpetual-emergency presidency. Progressive lawmakers are once again calling on President Joe Biden to declare a climate emergency, which would give him sweeping new executive powers to do pretty much whatever he wants. It is just one more example of how progressives, who are constantly lecturing the country about the threats to democracy, are eager to ignore the democratically elected members of Congress — and the U.S. Constitution — in order to get their way. According to Bloomberg, "An emergency declaration by President Joe Biden would unlock sweeping executive powers, including blocking crude oil exports and placing other limits on fossil fuels." The catalyst for the latest climate-emergency demand was Canadian wildfire smoke that settled on much of the northeast, including New York City and Washington, D.C. But progressives don't really need a catalyst — they just use that to get more media attention. They have been calling on Biden to declare a climate emergency for at least a year.

Biden admin turned American democracy into Pakistani fascism. With former President Donald Trump criminally indicted, America, once the beacon of democracy, has crossed the Rubicon. With the administration's weaponization of our now dual system of justice under President Biden, our nation is headed straight to Pakistani fascist hell. The parallels between former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and Mr. Trump are indeed frightening. Like Mr. Trump, Mr. Khan ran as a populist economic nationalist. Victorious, Mr. Khan immediately came under attack from deep state elements in the Pakistani government, including a powerful military — and he was ousted in April 2022. Fearful Mr. Khan might rise again in the next election, Pakistan's equivalent of America's FBI arrested Mr. Khan on trumped-up charges. Even after being set free by Pakistan's Supreme Court, Mr. Khan is now "legally" forbidden to run for president — the same goal of the current Trump witch hunts.

FBI: We have "no idea" if there are any Biden bribery tapes. When Chuck Grassley first made his startling claims that tape recordings might exist of conversations between a Burisma boss and both Joe and Hunter Biden discussing bribery, the conservative media immediately took notice. Sadly, it was almost exclusively conservative media outlets. A couple of plucky reporters did try asking Biden about it, but he did nothing more than laugh and walk away. So as usual, it was left to the Republicans in Congress to try to get more information. Yesterday, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate was being questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Tennessee Republican Marsha Blackburn asked him about the allegations coming from the FD-1023 form and the possibility that such tapes might exist. Abbate did not appear to be interested in the topic and said that he had "no idea" if that was true.

We should all give Biden great credit for what he has achieved in office. We should be giving Biden credit for energy and spending policies that caused inflation to skyrocket from under 2%, despite COVID to over 9% or 4% in May. Oil is still around $70 per barrel, or up around 75% from when Biden was elected. I am sure people on fixed income, the poor, and middle class are extremely happy that food and energy prices have leveled off at such a high level. When Biden was running for office, he repeatedly said he was going to destroy the oil and coal industry: "I would transition away from the oil industry, yes," Biden said. As soon as Biden took office, he dictatorially halted oil and gas leases on US land and water. Biden also dictatorially cancelled the permit for the Keystone pipeline the day he took office. [...] As a result of Biden's anti-domestic oil policies, the price of oil skyrocketed from around $40 per barrel the day Biden was elected to $84 per barrel in October 2021, less than a year later, which was long before Russia attacked Ukraine. When the price of oil inflates by over 110% in one year, it causes overall inflation to also go up rapidly, because energy prices affect everything. It is a simple concept. Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Iran benefit greatly when the U.S decides it no longer wants to be a major oil market competitor.

Sen. Kennedy hits FBI, DOJ on silence on Biden bribery allegations: Dog the Bounty Hunter couldn't find them. With former President Trump facing a federal indictment, Republicans are demanding the FBI and Justice Department appoint a special counsel to look into President Biden's alleged bribery crimes. On "America Reports" Wednesday, Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., added to his GOP colleagues' demands that only FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland can address the American people's "doubts" and uphold the integrity of the law enforcement institutions.

There's malarkey aplenty in the Bidens' shell game. Here's the state of play: an FBI whistleblower revealed the existence of a complicated bribery scheme that allegedly funneled millions of dollars into the Bidens' coffers via a network of at least twenty shell companies set up to launder the dough. The Oversight Committee of the Republican-controlled House subpoenaed the FBI for access to the particulars set forth in what the agency calls a "1023" form. At first, the FBI stonewalled. Finally, under mounting pressure from Congress, they relented, allowing members of the committee to read a redacted version of the form. Details are still scant, but the details seem beside the point, which can be crystalized is a single number: 5,000,000, as in $5 million, the amount of pelf said to have been deposited for Joe, with an equal amount bestowed upon Hunter. Asked about the payments at a press conference, Biden laughed it off. Then "where's the money?" he scoffed, adding that the whole money-for-influence charge was "a bunch of malarkey."

Did the $10M Bribes to the Bidens Really Come From Russia? Russia and Ukraine, like sizable parts of the region, are an extended 'game of thrones' of oligarchs and apparatchiks carving up the resources of the ex-Soviet states, using bribes, corruption, and force. The two countries are economically intertwined in complex and messy ways. At RedState, Jennifer Van Laar makes the important point that the recent revelations about Biden's bribes were not just coming through Burisma, a Ukrainian firm, but through an alleged Russian asset. [...] This wouldn't be too shocking. Mykola Zlochevsky served as a minister in the Yanukovych government, which was generally seen as a Russian puppet. After being ousted, Yanukovych fled to Russia. Zlochevsky relocated to Cyprus. If Biden had been briefed on it and still maintained ties with Zlochevsky, that looks even more corrupt.

Cleveland: The DOJ's Biden Bribery Cover-Up Is Worse Than You Think. "The bigger deal to me is the double standard with [President Joe] Biden and the allegations of bribery. That is a much bigger deal, and now it's being suffocated by the Trump indictment," said Federalist Senior Legal Correspondent Margot Cleveland during a Fox Business interview. "According to all the evidence that we have so far ... that [FD-1023 form] ... was buried by the FBI." [Video clip]

Grassley's '17 Recordings' Bombshell Brings Bidens And Burisma Back Into The Spotlight. The Ukrainian owner of Burisma allegedly made 17 audio recordings of conversations with the Bidens, Sen. Chuck Grassley revealed Monday from the Senate Floor. Then-Vice President Joe Biden may also have been involved in prompting Burisma to hire his son for a cushy job on the board of directors, according to Grassley's summary of the FD-1023 confidential human source report the FBI continues to withhold from Congress. These new details, coupled with the House Oversight Committee's subpoenaing of Hunter's business partner and fellow Burisma board member on Monday, place the Ukrainian oil and gas company back in the spotlight of the Biden family pay-to-play scandal.

Sen. J.D. Vance says he will block all DOJ nominees over Trump indictment. In the face of a virtual wall of silence among Senate Republicans, Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio has announced that he will place a hold in confirmation of nominees to Justice Department positions to protest the indictment of Donald Trump: [Tweet with video clip] It is not clear what might cause Vance to drop this hold. Perhaps the Special Prosecutor Jack Smith dropping the charges of the indictment? Merrick Garland certainly will claim that Smith is "independent" and that he, Garland, cannot properly intervene. So, expect this block to remain until the next president is inaugurated or the matter is ended in the courts.

JD Vance Decides to Play Hardball With Merrick Garland in Midst of Trump Indictment. But regardless of how the case unfolds, there is still the issue of the timing of these charges, which as many prominent Republicans have pointed out looks an awful lot like election interference considering that Trump could end up being Biden's opponent in the 2024 presidential election. So the question is just what are Congressional Republicans going to do about it? Talk about how unseemly and dictator-like this all looks or take action? In the case of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), he has decided to take action, announcing in a statement Tuesday that he "will hold all Department of Justice nominations."

When are enough Americans going to realize our government is a criminal enterprise? While the mainstream media refuses to report actual facts, our blessed plethora of alternative media are on the job. They are doing their level best to report the truth of the deep corruption of the deep state, exacerbated by the preternatural criminality of Joe Biden, his family and all those in service of the Obama agenda; the anti-constitutional, racially divisive transformation of America. No one can deny that the hatred of whites has exploded, having been taught to young people as a moral imperative for many years now. The myth of a white supremacy came to new heights under Obama, the man who revered Jeremiah Wright, a man filled with rage and hatred of America as founded and of, of course, white people. Wright was Obama's mentor. It was Obama who set us on the course for where we are today. Biden is just the mind-numbed, moronic tool of Obama's and his communist pals' plan to destroy the United States. Who installed him as president?

Biden family business needs its own special counsel. Perhaps the worst argument against indicting former President Donald Trump is that the Justice Department failed to pursue strong cases against the Clinton and Biden presidential families. The right answer isn't to let Trump skate free but, without ignoring political realities, to hold serious presidential corruption to account. This certainly applies to the obvious malfeasance of the Bidens. New reporting by the Washington Examiner's Jerry Dunleavy adds significant credibility to claims of corruption involving President Joe Biden himself. Dunleavy reported that Mykola Zlochevsky, the Ukrainian owner of the Burisma energy company that hired then-vice presidential son Hunter Biden to a lucrative board position, reportedly called Joe Biden "the big guy" during discussions of what reputable sources call a $5 million bribery scheme.

White House Brags About Chart Showing Inflation Skyrocketed After Biden Took Office. The White House was dragged on Tuesday for tweeting a chart that showed inflation is lower than it was last summer — even though the chart also showed that inflation had skyrocketed after President Joe Biden was sworn in. In the post, the White House celebrated inflation reaching 4%, the lowest rate since March 2021, claiming the lower rate "is giving families real breathing room." The chart may have not been the clear victory sign the Biden administration was going for, though, as it showed the massive increase in inflation from January 2021 to May 2022 when it reached 9% under the current president's watch.

Congressman wants to know if Bidens paid taxes on bribery income! Amid a flood of reports about evidence that the Bidens, Joe and son Hunter, were bribed by a Ukrainian gas company official to get rid of a corruption investigation, evidence that apparently includes recordings of those conversations, a member of Congress wants to know whether taxes were paid on that income. The Washington Examiner said it is U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., who said it is important that recipients of large sums pay their "fair share." A whistleblower sparked the dispute by reporting to Congress that the Bidens had been bribed to get rid of the investigation into Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company. Since then, specific charges that Joe and Hunter each took a $5 million bribe, have been reported, as well as the fact that the Burisma official involved has recordings of conversations with the two.

Flashback: Biden Promised to Use His Power to Prevent Trump From Returning to White House. As Donald Trump faces charges from the Biden administration over his possession of classified documents, many of his supporters and advocates have pointed out how the administration's actions parallel corruption long associated with third-world dictatorships. And yet, during a press conference last November, Joe Biden actually promised he would do exactly that when asked about Trump's possible return to the White House. "So the entire genesis of that G7 conversation was tied to your predecessor, who is about to launch another campaign. So how do you reassure them, if that is the reason for their questioning, that the former president will not return or that his political movement, which is still very strong, will not... once again take power in the United States?" a reporter asked Biden. "Well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by — if we — if he does run," Biden said. "I'm making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next president again." [Tweet with video clip]

Senator Grassley Reveals FBI Confidential Human Source Alleging Biden Bribes Has Recordings of Himself Talking to Joe Biden. Things are certainly getting interesting on the Biden bribery story. Apparently, in the unclassified interview with the Confidential Human Source, the FBI redacted the source alleging he has audio recordings of himself speaking to Joe Biden. Senator Chuck Grassley revealed this little bit of information today from the security of the Senate floor. [Video clip]

No Laughing Jesters in Biden's Banana Republic. [Scroll down] So why aren't they singing "Banana Boat?" Because they're afraid. Oh they were excited and pleased that Democrat Biden, although doddering, and senile to the point of drooling in public, is still vicious enough to remake the United States as a Banana Republic. Because it was Biden who ordered that his chief political rival — former Republican President Donald Trump — be criminally indicted in the hopes of removing him as a political candidate in the 2024 election. Isn't that election interference? Isn't that what third-world nations do to their politics? And now that former President Donald Trump has been criminally indicted as Biden wanted, more news crashed against the calm demeanor of jesterdom: Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley said that the FBI source who reported President Biden's alleged role in a multi-million dollar bribery plot is claiming to have 17 audio recordings of Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. The source kept the recordings for "insurance."

Oversight Chairman James Comer subpoenas Biden family associate Devon Archer to appear Friday. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent a subpoena to a Biden family business associate Monday urging him to appear before the committee Friday. The subpoena was sent to Devon Archer, a major player in Biden family business dealings in China, Russia, and Ukraine, according to a release announcing the subpoena. The release said Archer was also President Joe Biden's son "Hunter Biden's business partner in several transactions involving foreign nationals and foreign companies." The news of the subpoena comes as the Oversight Committee continues to look into alleged misdoings by the Biden family around the world. Last week, the FBI agreed after weeks of refusal to provide an FD-1023 form to the committee. The form contained allegations of a "criminal bribery scheme" by Biden.

Articles of Impeachment Filed Against Biden, Harris — and the Charges Are Right on the Money. As I reported earlier, now we have Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) explaining that there are audio tapes of the conversations that the foreign national Burisma executive had with Hunter and Joe Biden about the "bribery scheme" that the Burisma executive kept as an "insurance policy." That may indeed be a smoking gun, and that raises even more questions about Joe Biden's actions regarding Ukraine, including the funneling of billions to the country. Now things are heating up. Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has filed articles of impeachment against both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and the reason is a perfect one to apply to both of them: the "weaponization" of their offices, not just for what Biden and Harris are doing since they came into power, but also for what Biden did as vice president to "shield the business and influence peddling schemes of his family from congressional oversight and public accountability."

Senator Chuck Grassley Says There Are 17 Audios With Joe Biden Taking Bribes. Sen. Chuck Grassley said Monday that the Burisma executive who allegedly paid Joe Biden and Hunter Biden kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with them as an "insurance policy," citing the FBI FD-1023 form that the bureau briefed congressional lawmakers on. [Video clip]

Burisma boss in alleged Biden bribe scheme claims to have 15 taped conversations with Hunter, 2 with Joe: Grassley. The FBI source who reported President Biden's alleged role in a bribery scheme said that a Ukrainian businessman claimed to keep as "insurance" 15 audio recordings of first son Hunter Biden and two of Joe Biden, a Republican senator revealed Monday [6/12/2023]. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) made the staggering claim in a Senate floor speech after FBI Director Christopher Wray last week allowed House Oversight Committee members to see a redacted informant file about the claim that Hunter and then-Vice President Joe Biden received $5 million apiece to serve the interests of Burisma Holdings owner Mykola Zlochevsky. "Congress still lacks a full and complete picture with respect to what that document really says. That's why it's important that the document be made public without unnecessary redactions for the American people to see," said Grassley, accusing the bureau of needlessly redacting information about the recordings from the file shared with House lawmakers.

Republican Senator says foreign national has recordings of 17 phone calls with Joe and Hunter. Republican Senator Chuck Grassley said the Burisma executive who allegedly paid Joe Biden a bribe has kept 17 audio recordings of phone calls as an 'insurance policy.' According to a 'highly credible' whistleblower, an internal FD-1023 memo created in 2020 based off information from a highly-paid FBI informant apparently details a $5 million 'arrangement' for an exchange of money for policy decisions between then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national. In a bombshell speech on the Senate floor Monday, the Iowa lawmaker cited what is believed to have been redacted in the FD-1023 file from the FBI on the alleged payment.

Newly Discovered Hunter Biden Laptop Emails About 'My Guy' Prove 'Bribery Scheme' Involving President Biden, Republicans Claim. New disclosures from Hunter Biden's infamous laptop appear to show that President Biden's troubled son and some of Hunter's business associates were deeply involved in advocating for Ukrainian interests in the United States during the time that Mr. Biden served as vice president. Republicans say that this and other emails prove that the president was, in fact, involved in a bribery scheme as described by a federal whistleblower complaint.

The Only Thing In America More Corrupt Than The Biden Family. Having no discernible skills pays well, as does offering no good or service to your customers. If that sounds odd, let me add a caveat: If you're a Biden. The family of President Joe Biden has managed to rake in millions upon millions of dollars, a lot of which comes from foreign companies and governments, without registering as a foreign agent or seemingly providing literally anything in return. That's a pretty sweet deal. Weirdly, this "perfectly legal" activity is something none of them want to talk about. If I were having millions thrown at me for some magical reason I'd want everyone to know why, if only more rich people out there could get in on the action and throw even more money my way. If I, for example, provided some service that was worth millions to people I've never met, who don't even speak the same language I do or work in an industry I know literally nothing about, I'd welcome every media inquiry as free advertising. Especially when, as a requirement to get the money, I have to do absolutely nothing.

Burisma Founder Mykola Zlochevsky, Who Allegedly Bribed Joe and Hunter Biden, Is an SVR Asset. Burisma Holdings founder Mykola Zlochevsky, who allegedly paid a total of $10 million in bribes to Joe and Hunter Biden in 2015 and 2016 in exchange for then-Vice President Joe Biden's assistance in getting Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired, is believed to be an asset of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) by the United States intelligence community, according to a national security source speaking to RedState on condition of anonymity.

Ted Cruz Goes There on FBI Cover-Up of Alleged Biden Bribery Tapes. In the most troubling revelation yet related to Joe Biden's alleged bribery scandal, Sen. Chuck Grassley announced on Monday that over a dozen different tapes exist of conversations involving the matter. Even more shocking is that two of the tapes supposedly contain Biden himself speaking directly to the foreign national who says he arranged the bribes. [Tweet] That was all in the FD-1023 form that was shown to Congress some days prior to the writing. The problem is that no one knew that because it was all redacted by the FBI before members of the House Oversight Committee got their hands on it. Why was it redacted? Sen. Ted Cruz has a pretty good idea. [Tweet]

Grassley: Foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe, Hunter Biden has recordings of them. Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley on Monday announced that the foreign national who allegedly bribed then-former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter kept recordings of his conversations with each as an "insurance policy." "The 1023 produced to that House Committee redacted reference that the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversations with them. Seventeen total recordings," Grassley said on the Senate floor. Fifteen audio recordings include conversations between him and Hunter Biden while two include conversations between him and Joe Biden. "These recordings were allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for the foreign national in case he got into a tight spot. The 1023 also indicates that then-Vice President Joe Biden may have been involved in Burisma employing Hunter Biden," he continued.

GOP Rep. Ogles introduces impeachment articles against Biden, Harris. Tennessee Republican Rep. Andy Ogles introduced articles of impeachment on Monday against President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Ogles' articles accuse Biden of having "weaponized" the presidency, both in his tenure as president and vice president, to "shield the business and influence peddling schemes of his family from congressional oversight and public accountability." Additionally, the articles accuse Biden of acting in a "manner contrary to the public trust and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States" with his handling of the southern border crisis. Ogle's effort will likely face an uphill climb in the House, where a small minority of Republicans have pushed for Biden's impeachment.

Three Potential Scandals Plaguing The FBI-Biden Bribe Saga. FBI Director Christopher Wray narrowly avoided contempt of Congress proceedings last week over his refusal to provide the House Oversight Committee with an unclassified document memorializing a trusted informant's allegation that then-Vice President Joe Biden accepted a $5 million bribe from Ukrainian energy oligarch Burisma. Dramatic as the near-rebuke may have appeared, and as explosive as the contents of the FBI's concealed FD-1023 form seem to be, the trio of apparent scandals this saga touches on transcends its immediate significance. The first scandal — hiding in plain sight for years yet never fully exposed, let alone prosecuted — concerns the Biden family's potentially criminal, national security-imperiling, public trust-eroding influence peddling. The reality of this influence peddling makes the stunning allegation of a Joe Biden bribe seem infinitely more plausible than it might otherwise appear.

Democrats Doubling Down On Biden Bribery Lies Suggests They're Prepping For The Next Leak. House Democrats keep lying about the FBI's handling of a "highly credible" confidential human source (CHS), who reported that the Ukrainian owner of Burisma bragged about paying then-Vice President Joe Biden a $5 million bribe. Their persistence suggests the FBI is poised to peddle selectively leaked documents to cover up its political favoritism and interference in the 2020 election. On Friday, Democrat Ro Khanna went on Fox News to discuss the scandal surrounding the FD-1023 form that implicated Biden in a bribery scandal. Khanna, a member of the House Oversight Committee, along with other committee members, had reviewed the FD-1023 the previous day. After professing his full trust in the president, Khanna repeated the lie Ranking Member Jamie Raskin had peddled earlier in the week: that then-Attorney General William Barr's hand-picked prosecutor, Scott Brady, had closed the investigation into the CHS's claims contained in the FD-1023.

Biden laughs off FBI bribery claims as evidence against him and Hunter mounts. Audacity is Joe Biden's magic power. When the walls are closing in, he laughs in your face and dares you to come after him. He did it last week when he laughed at a question about "[...] evidence in an FBI file" that he allegedly took a $5 million bribe from a Ukrainian energy company in return for a policy decision when he was vice president. "Where's the money?" he quipped, before calling the allegation "a bunch of malarkey." Forgive us if we don't take the president at his word, because he has lied before about his involvement in the international "pay to play" scheme run by his son Hunter and brother Jim during his vice presidency.

Report: FBI Record on Bribery Deal Reveals Another 'Big' Connection to Joe Biden. The information in the "Biden bribery form" was revealed this week. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) laid out the details that she and other members of the House Oversight Committee had been told by the FBI when they were briefed on the FD-1023 form. The big takeaway was that not only did Hunter Biden allegedly get a payout of $5 million in the purported bribery scheme but so, allegedly, did Joe Biden. That was a bombshell that should have been all over the news. But, of course, as we know, the indictment of former President Donald Trump conveniently dropped the same day, so the Biden bribery scandal did not get the attention it should have. The liberal media was happy to do what they could to try to ignore it.

Pressure on Republicans to Impeach Biden Grows amid Bribery Claims, Trump Indictment. Calls from the right are growing for Republicans to impeach President Joe Biden after the revelation of an FBI informant's allegations he and Hunter Biden were part of a bribery scheme back in 2015 and 2016, and after former President Donald Trump's indictment. On Thursday, the FBI finally allowed House Oversight Committee Republicans to view a transcribed interview — an FD 10-23 — with a "highly credible" informant who alleged that both Joe and Hunter Biden were paid $5 million each to help a Ukrainian natural gas company executive kill a corruption investigation into him.

House Should Open Impeachment Investigation into Biden for Bribery. The U.S. House of Representatives should immediately vote to approve an impeachment investigation into President Joe Biden on suspicion of bribery in the wake of new evidence emerging from the FBI's 1023 form. That document, handed over to Congress only after the House Oversight Committee threatened to charge FBI Director Christopher Wray with contempt, reportedly describes a $5 million foreign scheme to bribe Biden. As I wrote in March, there were already amble grounds to investigate Biden for bribery — one of only two crimes specifically mentioned in the Constitution as grounds for impeachment and removal from office.

Who's Destroying Civic Norms Again? Trump? While the DOJ goes after Joe Biden's principal 2024 opponent, the old corrupt codger is looking to repeat his election strategy of 2020 — which is to say, he will hide in some undisclosed basement and watch as the Deep State's criminal element rigs another election his way. We're watching history in the making. In 2020, quid-pro-quo Joe — a politician who would have struggled to win an election outside of his native Delaware — "won" more votes than any candidate in American history while hardly campaigning. In 2024, the corrupt Department of (in)Justice will just prosecute his rivals, until he's the only candidate left. Some might call that kind of system indistinguishable from the Chinese Communist Party's stranglehold over their people — and the Obama Marxists running America into the ground all say, "Isn't it great?"

Biden speaks at White House Pride event: 'Bravest and most inspiring people I've ever known'. President Biden hosted a "Pride Month 2023" event on the White House lawn Saturday, decorating the area with rainbow motifs and the "Progress Pride flag." The event, hosting performers and speakers representing LGBT causes, acclaimed the Pride community as "the bravest and most inspiring people" and an "example" for the US and the entire world. "Outside the gates of this house are those who want to drag our country backwards, and so many battles yet to be braved. But today, we're not here to be strong. We're not here to be courageous. Even though for so many of you, just coming to this event is an act of bravery," said First Lady Jill Biden.

The Degenerate Biden Family. People keep private things, even secrets on their computers. But you likely agree with me that most people guard their computers with their lives, second only to one's smart phone. Speaking of which, imagine what we would find on Hunter's cell phone? As you consider that question, ask yourself this one. Why hasn't anyone mentioned looking into Hunter Biden's phone records? Any chance we might find a few pings off towers in Ukraine and China? I suggest to you that a crackhead with Alzheimer know better than to leave their laptop at a computer repair shop. But that's what Hunter did. Surprisingly, at no point did Hunter try to retrieve the computer. Understand that the man The Big Guy put in charge of the family's fortune didn't even remember that he had left his laptop at a computer repair shop — full of the family's secrets. Did Hunter not remember what was on that laptop? [...] As expected, Hunter's laptop exposed the Biden family criminal enterprise. Business dealings on one's laptop is par for the course. Except Hunter kept his crooked business dealings. And I remind you that Hunter was so cracked out that he forgot his laptop. Crooked family business aside, Hunter chronicled his debauchery. The man kept pictures of prostitutes the way serial killers keep trophies of their victims.

Rudy Giuliani: I Have a Witness, Former Chief Accountant of Burisma Willing to Give Up All the Offshore Bank Accounts. Rudy Giuliani joined Rita Cosby on Newsmax on Saturday morning to discuss the latest Congressional investigations into the Biden Family Crimes. [...] Rudy, who warned the American public about the Biden Family's international pay for play scandals years ago, told Rita Cosby that he has a witness who is the former chief accountant at Burisma who is willing to testify on the Biden crimes. She even has the Biden bank account transactions. She has the receipts!

The feds already have all the evidence they need to charge Biden with bribery. The DOJ has long held the evidence needed to charge Joe Biden with bribery to change our policy in Ukraine. (And also all the evidence needed to charge Hunter with several crimes, including violations of the tax code, of the laws governing the purchase of firearms, and laws prohibiting money laundering.) Here is an overview of the evidence needed to charge with bribery to change our policy in Ukraine. Our policy was to have Ukraine force Burisma and its owner Zlochevsky to return the oil and gas properties Zlochevsky stole when he was the Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources. And Zlochevsky wanted that policy reversed. The documents show that Zlochevsky was paying Hunter Biden approximately $83,000 a month. Zlochevsky claimed he was paying for corporate governance advice. However privately owned companies do not need corporate governance advice, and if they did, they wouldn't hire Hunter Biden to provide it. And they wouldn't pay anyone $83,000 a month for such advice.

Can Trump Clean The Augean Stables on the Potomac? [Scroll down] For what, when you come down to it, is Trump's crime? Please don't tell me it has something to do with his possession of classified documents or "obstruction" of an official proceeding. Former presidents have very wide latitude with respect to managing documents, as was set forth explicitly by the Presidential Records Act in the late 1970s. It's a different matter with the 1,800 boxes of documents that Joe Biden glommed onto in his days in the Senate and as vice president. I believe they are still moldering under his Corvette in the garage of his Delaware residence, having wound up there after a trip through D.C.'s Chinatown and the Penn Biden Center, a facility paid for, as was Biden's $900,000 stipend at the University of Pennsylvania, by China. [...] If you are hearing the winds murmur "two-tier system of justice" you are not imagining things. Donald Trump, as president, could declassify anything he wished. Neither Joe Biden nor Hillary Clinton had that authority.

MTG Reveals FBI Holds Two More FD-1023 Forms On Biden. Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said the country needs to come to terms with a harsh reality. "The agencies truly and purely protect the Deep State," Greene said. "And the reason why they protect Joe Biden is because Joe Biden is so controllable. Because they have all this evidence. They've got mountains of evidence of Joe Biden's crimes, and that makes him the most controlled president that we've ever had in US history." Greene, a member of the House Oversight Committee, explained that the FBI is holding two more FD-1023 forms related to President Joe Biden's alleged criminal bribery scheme.

Trump Is Charged But Nobody Has Time To Investigate The Possibility That We Have A Spy In The White House. Donald Trump is apparently being charged with seven counts of mishandling classified documents. [...] The broader issue here is this. How is it that DOJ and the FBI have found time to run this "crime" to the ground but apparently have dedicated no resources of any kind to pursuing the massive trove of evidence suggesting strongly that Joe Biden is fully compromised by the Communist Chinese and has taken literally tens of millions of dollars from individuals directly connected to Chinese intelligence? If Trump was sloppy with classified documents — a claim as yet unproven — we can probably agree that is less than ideal. If the guy sitting in the Oval Office is in the pay of our number one foreign enemy that seems like it would be a much bigger deal.

The Lawfare That Will Destroy The Republic. Biden's DOJ is abusively pursuing Donald Trump for crimes that Joe Biden actually committed. [...] The FD-1023 says that the informant wasn't a Trump supporter, but he also said it would take ten years to figure out how the money went from Ukraine to the Bidens. Also, as for the $5 million for Joe Biden and the $5 billion [sic] for Hunter Biden, Hunter did have to give his father half the money. That is what he said on the Laptop from Hell. The $10 million was to eliminate the prosecutor in the Burisma case, and Biden did. Watch the second tape if you haven't yet. The investigation into the Bidens is still ongoing and has been ongoing for five years. He needs to be impeached.

Trump Is Indicted, But Biden Is the Real Criminal. The more the Trump haters try to harass him out of the race, the more I want to vote for him. As we are all painfully aware, the Democrats don't wait until it's election time to interfere with an election. They're on it way ahead of schedule. Lefties want Donald Trump off of the 2024 ballot, and they don't care how badly they pervert the law to make that happen. Joe Biden is guilty of pretty much everything. Trump is a halo-wearing saint compared to President LOLEightyOneMillion and his drug-dealing kid. Biden has classified document from the days when MTV still played music videos but no one in the Justice Department wants to upset the pudding-brained boss. While Team Biden works overtime to smear Trump, it still keeps sinking in the corruption mud.

Near-Disaster Unfolds During Joe Biden's Trip to NC, Even Jill Looked Tense. And the day after he suffered a massive fall during an Air Force commencement ceremony, Biden had to be directed everywhere he went during a D.C. Marine Barracks parade while at times moving very slowly, and then on Monday, he shook hands with thin air (again) during the Kansas City Chiefs' visit to the White House. But Biden and First Lady Jill Biden's trip to North Carolina Friday provided us with what I think is the clearest evidence yet that Joe Biden is unwell. [Tweets with video clips] If this isn't definitive proof that Biden is unfit for another term in office then I don't know what is. He's stiff, robotic, and sometimes doesn't even look like he knows where he is. It's just downright frightening considering the vast power he holds, and it makes you wonder all over again how this country is being run behind the scenes and, more importantly, by who?

Laughing Biden Mocks Us Over His Bribery Scandal. As I mentioned yesterday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) dropped a Fat Man on Gropey Joe Biden in regard to the alleged $10 million in bribes he and his crackhead son Hunter took from Burisma Holdings, an energy company in Ukraine. Greene claims she saw an FBI document laying out Biden's bribery skullduggery in detail. It alleges that Hunter Biden was paid almost $1 million per year from 2014 to 2019 as a member of Burisma's board of directors. [Editor's note: Greene has not released the document and PJ Media has been unable to review or authenticate it.] Green[e] said it also details how Joe Biden was allegedly paid $5 million to have a Ukrainian prosecutor — who was investigating Burisma's shady deal with Hunter Biden — fired before he could do any damage. You may recall Biden mockingly bragging about how he held $1 billion in aid to Ukraine over the head of a Ukrainian official to have the prosecutor fired. In true Biden style, he foolishly did it on camera.

It's Past Time For Republicans To Impeach Biden And All His Top Officials. We now have more evidence that Joe Biden is a criminal than Democrats faked in order to spy on and then impeach Donald Trump twice, hamstringing his entire four years in office. Yet Trump has become the first president in U.S. history to be raided by the FBI and now indicted — over documents the Department of Justice will not identify, even to courts. The indictment is a scam, on every level. It is pure treachery designed to make a mockery of the American justice system to persecute Democrats' top political enemy. Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Mike Pence, and Barack Obama all had "documents disputes," and none of them were indicted despite several of their offenses being clearly far worse than what's on the table with Trump. The indictment is a farce. And it's a dangerous one, as a very public and high-level weaponization of America's legal system for political purposes. This is banana republic behavior, folks, and it's destroying what's left of the American constitutional order that preserves for all of us a way of life unparalleled in human history.

As Biden Abuses Our Republic, His Handlers Abuse Him. Joe Biden through his handlers is abusing America every day by allowing millions of low-skilled, uneducated, or criminal individuals to enter our country; by indoctrinating children to hate America and to be confused about their gender; by regarding concerned parents as terrorists; by printing and spending money as if there is no tomorrow;; by supporting a double-standard of justice propagated by his corrupt AG, by kowtowing to China at every turn; by decimating our energy-producing capabilities; by turning the U.S. military from alert and prepared to woke and weak, and 1,000 other cuts — his handlers, his key staff, his wife, his family, and his friends are abusing him. They are literally engaging in elder abuse, and for what? To further their power-hungry, selfish ends. It's medicate him, dress him up, get him out the door, and parade him in public for yet another day.

Biden secures the GOP nomination for Trump. Joe Biden all but delivered the Republican nomination for president to Donald Trump on a silver platter when Merrick Garland indicted Trump on Thursday. Biden has turned America into a Banana Republic with his latest dirty political trick against Trump. Indicting the opposition party's strongest candidate against him, Biden acted as any third world dictator would. He is trying his best to take out his challenger as the primary competition barely gets underway. [...] This is some deeply corrupt stuff that is being carried out by a deeply corrupt president. Is it a coincidence that Trump's lawyers were notified of the indictment at the same time that the Biden family corruption is coming out via documents in a bribery probe by the Congressional Oversight Committee? Squirrel! Don't pay any attention to committee members coming out of briefings and talking about documents allegedly pointing to $5M bribes paid to Joe Biden and to Hunter Biden. Just look over there and watch Donald Trump being indicted by an equally corrupted Merrick Garland.

MTG Discloses What's in the Biden 'Bribery' Form — And It's Big. As I reported on Wednesday night, the FBI caved and, at least temporarily, avoided a contempt charge for Director Christopher Wray by allowing all the members of the House Oversight Committee to view the FD-1023 "Biden bribery form." The FBI also turned over a couple of other documents to further comply with the subpoena from the Committee. Now, after having seen the document, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is sharing the unclassified details of what she said was referenced in the form. What she revealed is big, if true. She said there were financial records that showed two payments of $5 million — one to Hunter Biden and the other "specifically" to Joe Biden, to "fix" a situation.

It's James Comer's grit vs. Biden's grift as family corruption scandal intrigue heats up. James Comer is a hero. It would be a lot easier for him to let sleeping dogs lie when it comes to the Biden family corruption scandal and the even bigger scandal of the subsequent FBI/CIA coverup which kept American voters in the dark about one of the two presidential candidates in the 2020 election. But with the backing of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Comer is right over the target with his House Oversight Committee investigations, and his confrontation with the FBI is both necessary and courageous. The FBI has become a law unto itself. Director Christopher Wray has been thumbing his nose at congressional oversight in a way that demands reprimand, which is exactly what Comer is delivering.

Russiagate Redux: Grassley Calls Out FBI For Leaking False Narratives To Obstruct Biden Investigation. Stop leaking to the media, peddling false narratives, and obstructing congressional oversight into the FBI's handling of allegations that President Joe Biden was part of a criminal bribery scheme, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, told FBI Director Christopher Wray in a floor speech Tuesday. "Quit playing games," Grassley said. "The Justice Department and FBI no longer deserve the benefit of the doubt," he added, pointing to the FBI and Department of Justice's track record of deception from the Russia-collusion hoax to the present. Wray "made one excuse after another to not produce" the document detailing the bribery allegation against Biden, Grassley said, even refusing to admit it existed until Grassley revealed to him that he'd already seen a copy. The existence of the explosive allegation, which reportedly describes a Ukrainian energy concern seeking to pay then-Vice President Biden $5 million in return for a policy decision during his time as Ukrainian point man for the Obama administration, was revealed to Grassley by multiple FBI whistleblowers.

The FBI's Manufactured Narrative for the Biden Corruption Investigation Has Collapsed. Donald Trump might face another indictment, but Joe Biden might not be far behind him, or that would be the case in a fair, sane world. Spencer wrote about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) detailing more shocking updates about the Biden corruption probe, specifically the $5 million allegedly paid to him by a foreign national. Ms. Greene elaborated that these transactions related to the shady Biden-Burisma arrangement. The person or persons involved reportedly have a ledger of the bribes, and this deal allegedly formed the basis for Joe Biden wanting to fire the original Ukrainian prosecutor looking into Burisma's business practices when he was vice president: [Tweets] The real question is whether the Department of Justice, which is infested with pro-Biden, Trump-hating lawyers, does anything. But the FBI, having been exposed for being a biased law enforcement agency that will go out of its way to protect members of the Democratic Party, will not be able to slither its way out of this one. The Durham Report compartmentalized all the nasty deeds, lying, and illegal spying the FBI conducted during the Trump years to keep the Russian hoax alive. We also know that top bureau agents have been interfering in any investigation involving Hunter Biden, Joe, or other family members.

House Rep. confirms FBI informant document showing $5M bribery payment was sent to Biden. It has now been confirmed by Representative Lauren Boebert that the FBI informant document recently disclosed to members of the House Oversight Committee relates to an alleged $5 million bribery payment made to President Joe Biden and not to his son, Hunter Biden. The redacted FD-1023 record, which has been the subject of a continuing dispute between the FBI and House investigators, was the subject of an appearance by Boebert (R-Colo.) on "The Benny Show" with Conservative host Benny Johnson. [...] At a Council on Foreign Relations gathering in 2006, Joe Biden bragged about ousting former Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin. Shokin had been looking into Burisma, which is the natural gas company that appointed Hunter Biden to its board of directors. Because of the Ukrainian prosecutor's ineffective anti-corruption efforts, the Biden administration and advisers alleged that they wanted to dismiss the general. However, the FBI informant paper suggests the opposite case.

Burisma executive 'paid Joe and Hunter Biden $5 million each to end corruption investigations'. House Republicans alleged on Thursday that President Joe Biden and his son Hunter each received a $5 million payment from the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma to shake off a corruption probe. Reps. Anna Paulina Luna and Marjorie Taylor Greene were among those given access to an FBI document from June 2020 that detailed testimony given to agents from an informant who had spoken with Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky. That informant claimed that Zlochevsky said he had doled out $5 million to each Biden to call off an ongoing investigation by the Ukrainian prosecutor general at the time, Viktor Shokin.

Joe Biden [was] allegedly paid $5M by [a] Burisma executive as part of a bribery scheme, according to [an] FBI document. President Joe Biden was allegedly paid $5 million by an executive of the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, where his son Hunter Biden sat on the board, a confidential human source told the FBI during a June 2020 interview, sources familiar told Fox News Digital. The sources briefed Fox News Digital on the contents of the FBI-generated FD-1023 form alleging a criminal bribery scheme between then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national that involved influence over U.S. policy decisions.

Nancy Mace Calls Out Joe Biden After He Jokes About $5 Million Ukraine Bribe Allegation. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) called on Joe Biden to release his and the Biden family's bank and LLC records on Thursday in response to Biden's answer to a reporter's question about bribery allegations contained in the FBI FD-1023 form reviewed by members of the House Oversight Committee earlier in the day. The document contains allegations relayed by a reputable FBI informant that the head of the Ukraine energy firm Burisma paid Joe Biden and his son Hunter $5 million each in complex hidden payments to influence U.S. foreign policy and secure Joe's help in getting a Ukraine prosecutor taken off an investigation into Burisma.

Biden Lies About Never Telling DOJ to Prosecute Anyone. CLAIM: President Joe Biden has "never once ... suggested to the Justice Department what they should do." VERDICT: FALSE. He said people who defied the January 6 Committee's subpoenas should be prosecuted. President Biden responded to a shouted question on Thursday from a left-wing journalist who asked him why Americans should trust the Department of Justice — not because it may be prosecuting his political opponent, for the first time in American history, but because that opponent had the temerity to criticize it for doing so.

Alleged $5 Million To Biden Was From Ukrainian Natural Gas Company Burisma: Report. Then-Vice President Joe Biden allegedly accepted a $5 million bribe from an executive at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, where his son Hunter Biden was paid $1 million per year to sit on its board. Fox News reported that the allegation is contained in a FD-1023 form that the FBI created based on an interview they conducted with an FBI confidential human source in June 2020. The confidential source has been "consistently reviewed by the FBI" and has been "found to be highly credible." The confidential source, a businessman, reportedly had multiple meetings and conversations with the Burisma executive about how to obtain U.S. oil rights and establish connections with a U.S. oil company while Biden was still vice president. When asked why the executive needed advice when Hunter Biden was on the board, the executive allegedly said Hunter Biden was "dumb." The confidential source told the FBI that executive said that the company had to pay the Biden family because Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin was investigating the company and it would have a hard time breaking into the U.S. market given the circumstances, the report said. The executive reportedly indicated that it would be "$5 million for one Biden, $5 million for the other Biden."

GOP congressman questions why DoJ 'told Trump he's being indicted' on same day Congress was shown document claiming Biden received $5M from Ukrainian energy firm. The Make America Great Again (MAGA) Inc. have questioned the timing of Donald Trump's indictment, pointing out it came on the same day that members of the House were shown a controversial Joe Biden 'bribery' document. In a tweet they wrote: 'It's not a coincidence that Biden's Justice Department indicts President Trump the same day as this breaks. 'Joe Biden allegedly paid $5M by Burisma executive as part of a bribery scheme, according to FBI document.'

Another Biden campaign co-chair has ties to Hunter, asked for his briefing 'on the Ukraine'. Democratic Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, one of the Biden campaign's national co-chairs and a likely Senate candidate, thanked Hunter Biden in 2016 for his "generous contribution" to her campaign and asked if he could brief her "on the Ukraine," emails show. Blunt Rochester, who was named co-chair along with several others, including Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., previously served in the same role for Biden's 2020 presidential campaign. She is expected to launch a run for the open Senate seat in Delaware this month, Politico reported. Fox News Digital previously reported that Hunter served as an outside adviser to Coons during his successful 2010 Senate bid, making Blunt Rochester at least the second campaign co-chair with ties to the embattled first son.

Elise Stefanik: Donald Trump Indicted Same Day 'Treasonous' Biden Doc Released to Congress. House Republican Conference Chair Rep Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said in a statement Thursday that President Biden weaponized the Justice Department against former President Trump, amid news the GOP front-runner had been indicted on the same day it was revealed Biden allegedly received a payoff for influencing U.S.-Ukraine policy. "The exact same day that the FBI is forced to turn over to Congress absolutely damning and credible allegations regarding Joe Biden's illegal, egregious, and treasonous corruption, Joe Biden weaponizes his Department of Justice to indict Donald Trump," Stefanik said.

Biden Melts Down During Presser When Asked About Bribery Allegation, Gives Unbelievable Answer. As we reported earlier, Joe Biden held a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of the United Kingdom on Thursday. He needed note cards to just do his greetings with Sunak, and he got confused about what the prime minister's position was. That raised fresh concerns about his mental ability to do the job. Then the White House decided to throw caution to the wind and had him answer a few questions. Of course, he had a pre-approved list as he usually does, so he may also have the questions and answers in front of him as well. [Tweet with video clip]

Biden vetoes Republican bill blocking his $400 billion student loan forgiveness plan. President Joe Biden on Wednesday vetoed a bill that would have overturned his student debt relief plan, leaving program's fate in the hands of the Supreme Court. Both the House and Senate approved the legislation that would block the president's program, which promises to cancel up to $20,000 of debt for millions of borrowers but has been held up by courts. 'I'm not gonna back down in my efforts to help pretend to manage and working and middle class families. That's why I'm going to veto this bill,' Biden said in a video posted to the White House social media accounts explaining his decision.

Arkansas Judge Threatens Hunter Biden with Six Months in Jail If He Doesn't Appear in Court to Answer Questions About His Finances. An Arkansas judge threatened Hunter Biden with jail if he doesn't appear in court to answer questions about his finances as part of a child support lawsuit filed by his baby mama Lunden Roberts. Judge Holly Meyer ordered Hunter Biden to appear in court on July 10 to answer questions about his finances. Hunter Biden last month appeared in court to lower his $20,000 per month child support payments to the mother of his 4-year-old lovechild.

Bill Barr Confirms Rep. Jamie Raskin Lied About Biden Family Corruption Investigation. "It's not true. It wasn't closed down," William Barr told The Federalist on Tuesday [6/6/2023] in response to Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin's claim that the former attorney general and his "handpicked prosecutor" had ended an investigation into a confidential human source's allegation that Joe Biden had agreed to a $5 million bribe. "On the contrary," Barr stressed, "it was sent to Delaware for further investigation." Former Attorney General Barr went on the record with The Federalist following statements Raskin made to the press Monday afternoon. Soon after attending a closed-door meeting with House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and the FBI — at which lawmakers reviewed the FD-1023 form summarizing a CHS's detailed allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden agreed to accept money from a foreign national to affect policy decisions — Raskin spoke to the media.

House Republicans pull back contempt charge against FBI director Wray over Biden doc. The Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday called off a vote on a contempt of Congress charge against FBI Director Christopher Wray, accepting a last-minute offer by the bureau to allow the full committee access to a confidential document of an unverified tip about President Joe Biden. Rep. James Comer said in a statement that the committee is removing a contempt resolution against Wray from Thursday's schedule after receiving an accommodation that would give the full committee access to the document. "Allowing all Oversight Committee members to review this record is an important step toward conducting oversight of the FBI and holding it accountable to the American people," the Kentucky Republican said. The action that played out over the last month against Wray reflects a larger breakdown between Republicans and the FBI that has only intensified this year, with some conservatives talking openly about trying to defund the bureau.

James Comer: FBI Doc Alleges 'Business Person from Ukraine' Sent 'Substantial Bribe' to VP Biden. The FBI's informant file of a $5 million bribery scheme allegedly linked to President Joe Biden concerns the family's business deals in Ukraine, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed Monday. In May, Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) made bombshell claims after reviewing an FBI FD-1023 form that documented the informant's allegations of an alleged bribery scheme involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now-President Joe Biden and a foreign national. Comer disclosed the informant tip is dated June 30, 2020.

Startling Revelations Surface in Ongoing Biden Crime Family Probe. Last month, the House Oversight Committee revealed a trove of evidence exposing Joe Biden's influence-peddling with foreign nations. The evidence showed that illicit funds were funneled through a network of shell companies, deliberately established to obscure their illicit origins, before ending up in the hands of several members of the Biden family. This scheme included Joe's brother James Biden, James's wife, Hunter Biden, Hunter's current wife, Hunter'sex-wife, Hallie Biden (Beau's widow and Hunter's former girlfriend), and three children of Hunter Biden and James Biden. These entities operated without any legitimate business activities and appeared to serve the sole purpose of laundering the unlawfully acquired funds. Their sole purpose was clearly the purchasing of influence over Joe Biden.

Why Are You Still a Democrat? In 1977, Joe Biden wrote that certain de-segregation policies would cause his children to grow up "in a racial jungle." In the quote, which appears to come from a Congressional hearing related to anti-busing legislation, Biden emphasized wanting to "ensure we do have orderly integration of society," adding he was "not just talking about education but all of society." He then said "unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have to make some move on this." Once again, in other words, he supported segregation. He boasted that he was "good friends" with segregationists. [...] Once again, in other words, he supported segregation. In a 1998 speech, he called 100,000 juveniles who had been arrested for violent crimes in the U.S. "predators" who "warrant exceptionally, exceptionally tough treatment.... [...] Joe Biden is not a friend of black people. Every bit as much as Lyndon Johnson, he is a cynically opportunistic racist.

The Elder Abuse of Joe Biden is a National Crisis. Sadly, Biden is very frail, and his health is a ticking time bomb. After speeches, he often gets lost and does not know where to go. He could easily tumble off a stage and require hospitalization or surgery. This nightmare for the American people needs to end immediately. At 80 years old, Joe Biden needs medical care, treatment, and rest. He does not have the physical or mental capabilities to manage the most demanding and powerful position in the world.

Lauren Boebert Says Christopher Wray Is Helping Joe Biden Cover Up Alleged Bribery Scheme. U.S. House Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) shared that she believes FBI director Christopher Wray is aiding Joe Biden and covering up a bribery scheme perpetrated by Biden when he was VP. "The FBI's documents prove that Joe Biden engaged in a $5 million bribery scheme as Vice President. jChristopher Wray knew this and covered it up. On Thursday, Wray's contempt of Congress hearings will begin. Enough is enough." [Tweet] Earlier today after the FBI refused to leave a document subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee on Capitol Hill, James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the committee announced in a press briefing that contempt of congress hearings would begin Thursday. The whistleblower document alleged that then Vice President Biden engaged in a pay-to-play scheme with a foreign nation. The document describes that Biden agreed to certain actions in exchange for $5 million to his family's shell corporations.

White House Claims Biden Family Business Represents 'No' National Security Threat. John Kirby, National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, denied on Monday the Biden family's business schemes represent a national security threat despite admitting he had not read the House Oversight Committee report on the matter. In May, the House Oversight Committee's probe found the Biden family business over the course of several years received at least $10 million from business schemes in Romania and China in return for what appears to be influence peddling. In total, nine Biden family members received payments from the family foreign business ventures, including two of Joe Biden's grandchildren, the investigation revealed.

Biden whistleblowers 'fear for their lives'. House Republicans say that the FBI is violating a subpoena to turn over an alleged Biden 'bribery' document because the original informant's life could be in danger if they are 'unmasked[,]' despite the names being redacted. According to a 'highly credible' whistleblower, an internal FD-1023 memo created in 2020 based off information from a highly-paid FBI informant apparently details a $5 million 'arrangement' for an exchange of money for policy decisions between then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national. The leaders of the House Oversight Committee were granted access by the FBI Monday to view the redacted FD-1023 form in a secure facility within the Capitol. But it did not satisfy Republicans who are moving forward with contempt of Congress charges against FBI Director Chris Wray for failing to turn over the document in its entirety.

Stunning TV interview (in Australia!) on the Hunter Biden laptop evidence. You are not supposed to know about the contents of the laptop computer that Hunter Biden neglected to retrieve from a repair shop in Delaware. The 2020 election was fixed by the suppression of the evidence on it, and the deep state — in the form of 51 former intelligence officers — saw to it that it was falsely dismissed as Russian disinformation and rendered null and void as a factor in determining a significant number of votes. A former Trump White House aide named Garrett Ziegler obtained a copy of the hard drive and is speaking out and publishing its contents. [...] Ziegler is obviously an intelligent guy and has done his homework, spending months going over the data and compiling and classifying the content. He makes the point that there is clear evidence of multiple crimes, none of which have been prosecuted. The reason? The laptop data "Implicates people of both parties.... It's really the uniparty that is implicated in this." A bit later, "The intel agencies are the epicenter of the US uniparty."

It Doesn't Matter That Joe Biden Is a Corrupt, Doddering, Old Pervert. Watching President Gumby trip all over mystery sandbags at the Air Force Academy just reinforces what we all already know. He's a senile, desiccated, crusty weirdo with delusions of mental competence. And no one cares, at least no one with the power to put this broken nag out to pasture. The mass of normal people might care if they really understood just how far the decay has gotten.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: FBI Mole One-Eye Is Advising Hunter Biden on His Criminal Investigations. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) joined Maria Bartiromo this morning on Sunday Morning Futures. During their discussion, Rep. Luna spoke out about the lawlessness of the federal government and the Department of Justice in the United States. The Florida representative discussed the Hunter and Joe Biden China bribery scandal. [Transcript]

Vivek Ramaswamy: 'Biden's Mental Deficits Aren't a Bug; They're a Feature to People Who Control Him'. Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy told Breitbart News exclusively that the federal bureaucracy in Washington, DC, views President Joe Biden's "physical and mental deficits" as a benefit rather than a detriment. Breitbart News caught up with Ramaswamy for an exclusive interview at Sen. Joni Ernst's (R-IA) annual Roast and Ride in Des Moines, Iowa, on Saturday. When asked about Biden's alarming fall on stage at the U.S. Air Force Academy's commencement ceremony on Thursday, Ramaswamy noted, "I'm not gonna pick on him for that." "I think the reality is his physical and mental deficits aren't a bug; they're a feature to the people who control him," he said. "So it's just another indicator that he's not even really President Biden. He's 'Puppet Biden.' He's a puppet, a frontman, for the managerial industrial complex around him, and frankly, it's starting to look more and more like a form of elder abuse."

Joe Biden is Starting to Scare Everyone. There are already disturbing reports that the forty-sixth president's schedule is tightly controlled and designed to insulate him from too heavy of a workload. After having obtained a copy of the presidential daily schedule, the New York Post determined that President Biden has an average workweek consisting of only about 30 hours! Think of that. Crises happen at all hours of the day. Presidents are required to constantly be on their game and be willing to go years sacrificing sound sleep for crisis management — and then still being able to fulfill a tightly packed daily schedule. Are things less dangerous today than they were four years ago? Certainly not, despite what the president's handlers would have you believe. Sorry to say this, but Biden is literally weak. I also happen to think he's mentally diminished, too. And it's pathetic. A diverse, rich nation, with more than 320 million people and Biden is the best we could do to lead us?

Report: Informant Alleging a Joe Biden Bribery Scheme Is 'Highly Credible' FBI Source from Obama Era. An informant alleging a $5 million bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden is reportedly a "highly credible" FBI source with a history dating back to the Obama administration era. The FBI possesses a document from an interview the FBI conducted with the informant, which allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now-President Joe Biden and a foreign national. After weeks of stonewalling a congressional subpoena, FBI Director Christopher Wray finally agreed to allow members of Congress to view the unclassified document next Monday. A House Oversight Committee spokesperson told CNN the committee still plans to move forward with holding the FBI in contempt of Congress.

From the Border to Inflation to Falling on Stage, Nothing Is Ever Joe Biden's Fault. From the moment Joe Biden first stepped inside the Oval Office as president, the crises began: from the Biden Border Crisis, Biden Energy Crisis, Biden Inflation Crisis, Biden Economy Crisis, Biden's Afghanistan Debacle, and even falling on stage, nothing is ever this president's fault. Nothing. The question: Why? [...] Why is Joe Biden seemingly incapable of accepting responsibility for his own actions, and the effects of those actions, many of them intentionally caused? While I can't see inside this guy's head — shudder at the thought — I do know this: Accepting responsibility for one's actions or inactions, and the damage they might cause, and then taking corrective actions to clean up one's messes, is a strength, not a weakness. Conversely, blaming others for one's own mistakes is the mark of a weak, insecure person.

End American Gerontocracy. The octogenarian denizen of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, palpably in the throes of debilitating mental and physical senescence, is not well. The sight of the commander-in-chief physically falling in front of a graduating Air Force Academy class, no less, is outright depressing to active-duty servicemen and telegraphs national weakness to America's many adversaries abroad. Make no mistake about it: Joe Biden is an absolutely massive liability as president of the United States, in charge of the nuclear football and primarily responsible for issues of war and peace. His vice presidential junior sidekick and would-be successor, the cackling nincompoop Kamala Harris, may well be totally insufferable, but this column has argued — and still maintains — that Biden should resign for the good of the country. At a bare minimum, it is foolish and selfish in the extreme for the doddering dolt from Delaware to seek reelection in 2024.

Why would anyone want to steal Hunter Biden's art gallery financial records? Art gallery bookkeeping operations seem like pretty mundane things: Rich old lady A buys eccentric artist B's loopy masterpiece, and life goes on. But then there's wunderkind Hunter Biden, art sensation extraordinaire, whose blow-pipe paintings, straight out the gate, can fetch upwards of $500,000 a pop, according to news reports. Sure, his work draws attention, but probably not the kind he wants, [...] More humiliating still, Hunter's paintings don't seem to be worth stealing to the world's art thieves. There's no news out there about anyone stealing a Hunter Biden oeuvre. However the bookkeeping behind the paintings is seems to have value — to someone. [...] It's an obvious tip of the hat to what many observers have been saying about Hunter Biden, who's drawing cash like an art world whiz kid — that the whole art game with Biden junior looks more like a means of funneling money to House Biden in one of its family money operations than it does to any great art being produced that would otherwise make Hunter the toast of the art world.

Grassley Reveals He Has Already Seen The Bombshell Whistleblower Doc The FBI Is Hiding. Sen. Chuck Grassley has already seen the FBI's lengthy summary of a confidential human source's claims that then-Vice President Joe Biden agreed to accept money from a foreign national to affect policy decisions, the Iowa Republican revealed on Thursday. Grassley further pledged to make the FBI report public as soon as the bureau complies with a congressional subpoena to provide an official copy of the FD-1023 form — something Director Christopher Wray has so far refused to do. For the last month, Grassley has teamed up with House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer to obtain documents from the bureau related to whistleblower claims that FBI Headquarters opened an assessment in August 2020 to discredit derogatory information about Biden. Specifically, Grassley and Comer sought the FD-1023 form used to memorialize an interview with a confidential human source (CHS) and related documents, with Comer issuing Wray a subpoena for the material in early May.

FBI Source Alleging Biden Bribery Scheme Is 'Highly Credible,' Used By FBI Since Obama-Era: Report. The person who alerted U.S. lawmakers last month to the existence of an FBI record that allegedly shows that then-Vice President Joe Biden was involved in a criminal bribery scheme is a respected FBI source that has been used by the agency for years. Fox News reported that a person familiar with the matter said the source has been "consistently reviewed by the FBI" and has been "found to be highly credible." The source has been used in multiple investigations dating back to the Obama-era. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said this week that FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed that the file containing the allegations does exist. "Today, FBI Director Wray confirmed the existence of the FD-1023 form alleging then-Vice President Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national," Comer said. "However, Director Wray did not commit to producing the documents subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee."

CNN Doctor Recommends Biden Walk With Cane to Stop Falling. A shocking bit of honesty occurred during CNN's Erin Burnett OutFront on Thursday night as the network's medical analyst recommended President Joe Biden start walking with a cane to prevent his frequent falls. The recommendation was uttered when cardiologist and former member of George W. Bush's medical team Doctor Jonathan Reiner was discussing Biden's fall from earlier in the day during a commencement address at the U.S. Air Force Academy. "This is about the third time we've seen the President fall. He fell twice going up the steps of Air Force One once in 2021 and once earlier this year," Reiner observed. Continuing his medical analysis, Reiner noted that Biden "has a stiff gait and the stiff gait which is felt to be secondary to, I think, some arthritis in his back, you know, contributes to him walking with this kind of shuffling gait. And if you hit a sandbag there's not a lot of flexibility and you go down."

Person alleging Biden criminal bribery scheme is a 'highly credible' FBI source used since Obama admin: Source. The individual behind the information that then-Vice President Joe Biden was involved in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national is a "highly credible" FBI confidential human source who has been used by the bureau in multiple investigative matters dating back to the Obama administration, Fox News Digital has learned. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley were approached by a whistleblower alleging that the FBI was in possession of a document — an FD-1023 form, dated June 30, 2020 — which explicitly detailed information provided by a confidential human source alleging Biden, while serving as vice president, was involved in a $5 million criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national in exchange for influence over policy decisions.

NY Post's Nelson Grills WH Over Biden Family Corruption, Farcical Press Access to Biden. Wednesday's White House press briefing featured, among other happenings, a rare feat with not one but two bouts featuring Biden flunkies and the New York Post's Steven Nelson as well as a sudden curiosity surrounding Tara Reade now that she's emerged as a flunky herself for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. Nelson's first bout came during National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby's latest appearance as ever-inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's crutch with Nelson doing what few White House reporters will focus on for more than a few seconds (if at all): Biden family corruption.

Comer wins: FBI relents, agrees to deliver subpoenaed memo alleging Biden bribery to Capitol. Facing a potential contempt of Congress vote, FBI Director Christopher Wray relented and has agreed to bring a subpoenaed document from the Biden family investigation to Capitol Hill for lawmakers to inspect on Monday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced Friday [6/2/2023]. The document in question, an FD-1023, contains uncorroborated allegations that an informant provided the FBI in June 2020 alleging that Joe Biden, when he was vice president, was engaged in a bribery scheme to change US policy in return for $5 million to his family's businesses, lawmakers have said. Congress was alerted to the document by an FBI whistleblower who raised concerns the allegations were never fully investigated. Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa demanded to see the document, and Comer followed with a subpoena.

Hunter Biden gallery calls NYPD over suspected computer and phone hack. Staff at a Soho art gallery representing Hunter Biden's paintings called police Thursday [6/1/2023] to investigate a possible computer hack of its financial records, The [New York] Post has learned. A source close to the Georges Berges Gallery, which has mounted shows of President Biden's son's art since 2021, said staff members fear that financial transactions have been hacked, after a client alerted them to a phony invoice requesting payment to an account not controlled by dealer Georges Berges. The possible hack comes days after staff discovered that the gallery's phone number had been "compromised" by a number that had been traced to Turkey, the source told The Post. The gallery has been part of a Republican-led probe of President Biden and his family's financial dealings, and the source said staff feared that financial and personal information related to the president's son could be compromised.

Huge Trove of Photos from Hunter Biden's Laptop Released. On Thursday, thousands of photographs from Hunter Biden's laptop were made accessible to the public via a newly launched website. Garrett Ziegler, a former Trump White House aide and founder of the nonprofit organization Marco Polo, created a website containing nearly 10,000 photos capturing moments from 2008 to 2019. Why weren't these photos released sooner, you ask? Well, according to Zeigler, the process took several months to finalize in order to make the photos suitable for public release. "It's taken us a couple of months to, one, go through the photos, about 10,000 of them, and redact the genitalia on the photos," Ziegler told Fox New Digital. "The number one thing we're about... is truth and transparency," he said. "If the American people want to know what their first family is like, they're going to get it. And we're not going to be taking out photos that paint the Bidens in a good light."

Senator Chuck Grassley Gives His Perspective on FBI Document Detailing Allegations of Biden Bribery. Last night on Sean Hannity television show, House Oversight Chairman James Comer made the first admission that both he and Senator Chuck Grassley had seen the FD-1023 form filled out by an FBI agent based on allegations of Joe Biden taking bribes as outlined by an FBI CHS (Confidential Human Source). FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to admit the document existed until Comer and Grassley informed Wray they had already seen it. However, the FBI is still refusing the release the document to congress. During a Fox News interview today [6/1/2023], Senator Chuck Grassley gives his opinion of what is contained within the six-page document. [Video clip]

Biden's Latest Fall Offers Reminder That June Is 'Elder Abuse Awareness Month'. President Joe Biden kicked off the first day of "World Elder Abuse Awareness Month" by tripping on what appeared to be a flat surface at the Air Force Academy's graduation ceremony. [Tweet with video clip] If any good comes out of the incident, perhaps it is that we can go over just a few of the signs of what elder abuse looks like. It can affect any senior citizen — even the commander-in-chief, apparently. "Elder abuse can include physical, sexual, emotional, neglect, and financial exploitation," according to SeniorCare.com. "Another form of elder abuse is self-neglect." All of those forms of abuse — except possibly sexual (we don't dare ask) — present themselves in the Biden presidency thus far. As an 80-year-old president, Biden's own aides have said that long presidential trips tire him out for days. Reports indicate he is only functional between the hours of 10:00 a.m. Eastern through 4:00 p.m. Eastern — even though his job requires a 24/7-365 dedication. Biden's fall on Thursday wasn't the only sign of physical or mental confusion displayed at the Air Force's event. For example, when "Hail to the Chief" started playing, he needed a shove to get going.

Biden, who just fell on stage, once mocked Trump for carefully walking down ramp at commencement. President Biden, in 2020, took aim at then-President Donald Trump for awkwardly walking down a ramp at a commencement speech — remarks that came back to haunt him on Thursday when he took a tumble over a sandbag at a commencement ceremony at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Trump took heat from critics, including Biden, when he walked gingerly down the ramp at a West Point commencement ceremony in September 2020. Then-candidate Biden, in the midst of a presidential campaign, took a swipe at the Republican incumbent. "Look at how he steps and look at how I step. Watch how I run up ramps and he stumbles down ramps," Biden joked. "Come on."

Extensive Hunter Biden laptop archive with nearly 10,000 photos published on new website. An immense catalog of photos from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop was published Thursday on a new website, as the first son faces ongoing investigations into his overseas business affairs and potential tax and gun crimes. Nearly 10,000 photos taken between 2008 and 2019 will be hosted at BidenLaptopMedia.com after a former Trump White House aide apparently spent months scanning the digital archive, redacting some images and publishing the rest. "The number one thing we're about ... is truth and transparency," Garrett Ziegler, who founded the nonprofit Marco Polo, told Fox News. Among the redacted pictures are those that display private information, such as Social Security, banking, and credit card numbers.

Website Revealing Over 10,000 Photos From Hunter Biden's Laptop Crashes Shortly After Initial Launch. A new website unveiling over 10,000 photos from the infamous Hunter Biden laptop, which aimed to bring "truth and transparency" to America's first family, crashed shortly after launching on Thursday. Garrett Ziegler, the founder of the nonprofit Marco Polo, told Fox News that it took engineers on the site — BidenLaptopMedia.com — "a couple of months" to redact obscene content from thousands of photos spanning from 2008 to 2019, including images exposing Hunter's genitals and multiple nude photos of his deceased brother Beau Biden's wife, Hallie Biden. "The number one thing we're about ... is truth and transparency," Ziegler said. "If the American people want to know what their first family is like, they're going to get it. And we're not going to be taking out photos that paint the Bidens in a good light." However, reports claimed the website servers continued to crash by Thursday afternoon after thousands of people witnessed the photos.

The Party's Over. The evidence for Biden's corruption and betrayal of America mounts by the day. We cannot wait for the situation to ripen further. Too many of our institutions supporting justice and the rule of law have already been compromised by criminal behavior and subornation from the highest levels. Every day that action to bring justice is delayed, creates more despair and consternation amongst the American people. They must not be allowed to lapse into apathy and cynicism. A clear and powerful case for Impeachment must be mounted immediately. It will grow and become the basis for an education campaign that cannot be stopped or papered over by our now untrustworthy press and government handmaidens of deceit. More and more of the foul truth about the Biden crime family and our damaged Justice system will emerge, until the trickle of whistle blowers and damning evidence becomes a rushing torrent that can wash away the stains and ugly crimes of the past three years.

Breadcrumbs From A Buried FBI Source May Lead To A Bigger Biden Scandal. After a confidential human source claimed then-Vice President Joe Biden agreed to accept money from a foreign national to affect policy decisions, FBI agents used what's called an FD-1023 form to record the allegation. Now FBI Director Christopher Wray is defying a May 3 congressional subpoena to provide this form. On Tuesday, in response to Wray's refusal to hand over the documents, Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer announced the House will move to hold the FBI director in contempt of Congress. It isn't that announcement — or even the other explosive ones released over the past year by Comer's Senate colleague, Chuck Grassley — that prove the most telling, however. Rather, it is the combination of all the details, big and small, that suggests the scandal set to unfold over the coming weeks will be bigger than anyone imagined.

'Missing' Biden family corruption probe witness Gal Luft speaks out, living as fugitive in undisclosed location. Gal Luft, the "missing" witness in the House Oversight Committee's Biden family corruption investigation, has told The Post he is alive and living as a fugitive in an undisclosed location. The former Israeli Defense Force colonel vanished from Cyprus last month while on bail awaiting extradition to the US on seven charges. He denies the allegations, which include five charges relating to the Arms Export Control Act of conspiring to sell Chinese products to the United Arab Emirates, Kenya and Libya, as well as a violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and of making a false statement. Luft claims he was forced to skip bail because he is the victim of a political persecution by the US to protect Joe Biden and his son Hunter, and brother Jim.

James Comer: FBI Confirms Existence of File Allegedly Linking Joe Biden to $5M Bribery Scheme. The FBI confirmed the existence of an informant file the bureau refuses to provide Congress that allegedly links President Joe Biden to a $5 million bribery scheme, a confirmation the Justice Department previously did not deny, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed Wednesday [5/31/2023]. Comer and FBI Director Christopher Wray conducted a scheduled meeting Wednesday in which the bureau chief confirmed the file's existence. The file allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now-President Biden and a foreign national.

John Kirby Stammers Out a Denial and Leaves Podium after White House Reporter Details Joe Biden Bribe Allegations. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby was stunned by a reporter's question at Wednesday's briefing that mentioned a bribery allegation against Joe Biden, along with his involvement in the Biden family's international business dealings and whistleblower charges of interference in investigations, followed with a request to comment on a recent poll showing a majority of Americans believe Joe Biden is corrupt. Kirby let out a shocked, "Wow!" and then stood in stunned silence for several seconds while a gasp [...] could be heard in the room. A man off camera volunteered to take the question for Kirby but White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told him no. After gathering his thoughts, Kirby stammered out a brief denial on Biden's behalf and referred the part about the whistleblower to the FBI before leaving the podium. The bold questioner was New York Post reporter Steven Nelson.

Biden Walks Away After Peter Doocy Asks Why He Hasn't Done Any Campaign Rallies. Joe Biden on Wednesday stopped to chat with reporters on the South Lawn as he departed en route to Colorado Springs, Colorado. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Biden how his re-election campaign is going. Biden recently announced his 2024 reelection bid in a pre-recorded video posted to Twitter at 6 am. Joe Biden knows the fix is in. He doesn't have to campaign.

FBI Director Appears To Be Ignoring Tuesday Deadline To Give Congress Secret Document on Biden 'Bribery Scheme'. Tuesday is the deadline for the FBI director, Christopher Wray, to hand over a document that's said to detail alleged corruption by President Biden while he was serving as vice president, but for weeks Mr. Wray has shown little interest in complying with Republican investigators probing the Biden family's years of murky financial dealings. The chairman of the powerful House Oversight Committee, Congressman James Comer, asked for the letter in early May, but Mr. Wray and the FBI have so far declined to turn it over. Shortly after Mr. Comer threatened to hold Mr. Wray in contempt of Congress on May 25, the director agreed to a phone conversation that will be held Wednesday, after the Tuesday deadline has passed. It is unclear if this will just be a courtesy call, or if the director could be substantively engaging with House Republicans on the issue of congressional oversight.

A telling text Jim Biden sent to nephew Hunter suggests Joe WAS in on their business plans. Newly unearthed text messages suggest President Joe Biden may have been involved in his son and brother's business deals with the Chinese, DailyMail.com can reveal. Two weeks after a 2018 New York Times story exposed Hunter Biden's connections to a corrupt Chinese Communist Party-linked oil firm CEFC, his uncle Jim Biden texted him saying: 'you need a safe harbor' and 'I can work with you[r] father alone!' The text messages, saved on Hunter's abandoned laptop, are the latest in a growing body of evidence tying the President to Hunter's shady overseas business deals.

America First Legal Obtains More of Biden's Vice Presidential Records from Lawsuit Against National Archives. Today, America First Legal (AFL) released its fourth tranche of emails received from the National Archives in response to AFL's request and lawsuit for records from Joe Biden's time as Vice President in the Obama Administration and Hunter Biden's corrupt foreign business dealings. According to the National Archives, this tranche consists of "email messages from December 2009 through June 2010 that includes the company name 'Rosemont Seneca.'" The National Archives initially proposed withholding "142 email messages in whole and 54 email messages in part" under the Presidential Records Act, but after Stuart Delery, Counsel to the President, and Robert Lenhard, former Vice President Biden's representative, weighed in, the National Archives ultimately withheld "148 email messages in whole and 52 email messages in part." These new emails continue to reveal how the Bidens shared influence and access to the Obama White House with their family and friends.

'It's all about the money' — The Dysfunctional Biden Family Legacy. A February 2022 article in the Wall Street Journal had the headline: "In his own words, Joe Biden was 'seduced by real estate." The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Hunter Biden later recalled that his father, Joe Jr., would also drive him and his brother Beau through wealthy neighborhoods after church. "They would sneak into empty estates that were either abandoned or on the market. If the front door was locked, the boy's father would hoist them through a second-floor window, and they would run downstairs and let him in. If a real-estate agent arrived when they were there, Biden, who at this point was a senator, would charm the agent into giving them a tour." In 1975 Joe Jr. bought a large house originally built by a member of the DuPont family — real American social royalty — for $185,000 when his annual salary as a U.S. senator was $44,000 in real terms. In 1996 he sold the houses to the vice chairman of the credit-card company MBNA for $1.2 million.

Russian News Network Runs Story Including Pedo Photos Of Hunter Biden Found On His Laptop. Hunter Biden is called out by Russian media for filming himself in dozens of sex tapes with under age girls while measuring crack cocaine, a disgrace for the President of the United States. [Video clip]

'The Official Truth': The End of Free Speech That Will End America. Similarly, majorities of Americans suspect that President Joe Biden has used the powers of his various offices to profit from influence-peddling schemes and that the FBI has intentionally refrained from investigating any possible Biden crimes. Huge majorities of Americans, in fact, seem not at all surprised to learn that the FBI has been caught abusing its own powers to influence elections, and are strongly convinced that "sweeping reform" is needed. Likewise, large majorities of Americans have "serious doubts about Biden's mental fitness to be president" and suspect that others behind the scenes are "puppeteers" running the nation. Few, if any, of these poll results have been widely reported. In a seemingly-authoritarian disconnect with the American people, corporate news media continue to ignore the public's majority opinion and instead "relentlessly advocate" those viewpoints that Americans "reject." When journalists fail to investigate facts and deliberately distort stories so that they fit snugly within preconceived worldviews, reporters act as propagandists.

What to do with Joe Biden? While several aspiring Republican notables are throwing their hats into the ring, the Democrats' standard-bearer is collapsing in the polls. Having another full term of eligibility, Mr. Biden eschews turning himself into a lame duck and continues to cling to the prospect of his re-election. Meanwhile, our rudderless nation is drifting onto the rocks of an unpleasant destiny. All along, Biden's age-related feebleness has cast doubt about his functional abilities. This has only gotten worse with time. But now the FBI and the lapdog media are backing away from shielding him from a looming influence-peddling scandal. And yet, the more marketable Democrat presidential aspirants are holding back...just so they won't appear disrespectful of our current president. They're also not exactly star quality material when compared to the Republican field.

Biden Rape Accuser Tara Reade Defects To Russia For 'Protection And Safety'. Tara Reade, a former staffer for then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) who accused Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign of sexually assaulting her, has defected to Russia. Reade made the announcement during a Russian state press conference while she sat next to Russian spy Maria Butina, who was previously convicted and sentenced to prison in the U.S. for conspiring to act as an agent of Russia inside the U.S. "I'm still kind of in a daze a bit, but I feel very good," Reade told Sputnik News. "I feel very surrounded by protection and safety. And I just really so appreciate Maria [Butina] and everyone who's been giving me that at a time when it's been very difficult to know if I'm safe or not."

I suspect "praise" isn't the only thing Zelensky is heaping on Biden. Ten percent for the Big Guy, perhaps.
Billions in Munitions: Zelensky Heaps Praise on Biden for Aiding Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky has heaped praise on Joe Biden over his continued support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia. Giving a surprise address to students graduating from Johns Hopkins University, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke highly of his allies in the United States government and the Biden administration. Since Russia's invasion of the country, the Democrat-run government has committed tens of billions of dollars in weapons, ammunition and equipment to the country, with the latest package of so-called military "aid" being announced only last week.

IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley testified for 6 hours about alleged Hunter Biden coverup. IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley spent about six hours Friday privately testifying to Congress about an alleged coverup in the criminal investigation of first son Hunter Biden. The Republican-led House Ways and Means Committee granted the panel's Democratic minority equal time to question Shapley about his claims that prosecutors are slow-walking the five-year-old case. Tax secrecy laws bar Shapley from publicly airing details about the investigation, but disclosures to Congress are legally protected. Each party's staffers were allowed up to one hour at a time to ask questions. Neither side immediately publicized key exchanges.

Jill Biden Praises "How Far Women's Sports Have Come" as Biological Males. This is unbelievable gaslighting. Joe and Jill Biden on Friday hosted a ceremony for the Louisiana State University Tigers Women's Basketball team to celebrate their 2022-2023 NCAA Championship season. Dr. Jill told the female athletes how proud she was of how far women's sports have come. Biological males posing as 'transgenders' are destroying women's sports. The Biden Regime is also waging a war on women's sports with a proposed change to Title IX which would make it illegal for schools to ban transgender students from sports teams that so-called align with the gender they 'identify with.'

Biden questioned for skipping town as debt ceiling deadline inches closer. President Joe Biden is out of town again as debt ceiling talks enter their final days. Biden returned from a trip to Japan last Sunday and spent just four full days in Washington before departing for Camp David on Friday afternoon. He'll also spend part of this weekend in Delaware as the debt ceiling "X-date" approaches. [...] The White House has been criticized for Biden's high number of vacation days before and often responds by saying that Biden is the president and can fill the duties of the office from anywhere. But the debt ceiling could be reached as soon as Thursday, and the Biden administration has been calling the problem a crisis for weeks.

The Editor says...
The Democrats say Joe Biden "can fill the duties of the office from anywhere." Some of the same people complained about the amount of time George W. Bush spent in Crawford, Texas, and the amount of time Ronald Reagan spent at his California ranch.

Joe Biden Falsely Claims To Have Four Granddaughters, Ignoring Hunter's Illegitimate Child. President Joe Biden falsely stated he has four granddaughters on Friday, leaving off his fifth, 4-year-old Navy Joan Roberts, the illegitimate daughter of Hunter Biden. The president has repeatedly failed and refused to recognize Navy Joan as part of the Biden family, despite a court-ordered paternity test proving Hunter to be the child's father in 2019. The latest lapse happened during comments the president made while hosting the 2023 Louisiana State University women's national championship basketball team at the White House. "The way in which women's sports has come along is just incredible. And it's not just in sports, it's across the board in every single thing," Biden said. "It's really neat to see since I've got four granddaughters." [Tweet]

Biden Has No Idea Who He Is Calling for at Event, as He Ditches Debt Deadline for Vacation. Joe Biden doesn't seem to [care] about debt negotiations or our economic status. First, he refused to even talk with Republicans for 97 days. But since he has been talking, he doesn't want to cut anything, he just wants to keep spending us into the poor house. He's completely in the thrall of the leftist wing of his party and they don't want him to agree with the Republicans. Unfortunately for the Democrats, Americans want cuts and they see Joe Biden as the obstacle here. [...] So what is Biden doing in the face of all this? We've already been put on a "credit negative watch" because of him. But he's not changing anything about his habits — he's out the door for yet one more weekend vacation on Friday, with time in both Camp David and at his home in Delaware.

Entropy, Joe Biden, and the Progressive Left. Joe Biden's decline into incompetence is more than a personal journey towards life's end, it is an allegory for the likely collapse of the Progressive Left and the Democrat Party now under its rule. As Joe Biden's mind closes in on itself and his body struggles with infirmity, the Second Law of Thermodynamics is at work. The Second Law holds that the more energy systems (think a person or an organization) become self-absorbed and isolated from the larger eco-systems surrounding them, the less productive work they can accomplish. This is the law of entropy where, as entropy increases, useful work decreases because the energies in closed systems become random and uncoordinated in seeking practical outcomes. The system just gets more and more chaotic, losing rhyme and reason. Notice Joe Biden's use of words — his mind works randomly and can't stay on topic. He even has trouble being coherent when reading what his staff has written for him to say. When he walks or greets people, he seems out of touch with his surroundings. This is chaotic randomness working right before our eyes.

More FBI coverups and corruption. After the Durham report was released the FBI had to admit that they had failed to uphold the law and that the whole Crossfire Hurricane investigation — the persecution of a sitting president and his aides — was a bit of a mistake. They made "missteps," but assured us that they have corrected their processes. [Tweet] Days laters it was revealed that they conducted almost 280,000 illegal searches of Americans' private records, yet again they assured us that they have cleared up any misunderstandings. Missteps were made, but don't worry, everything is fine now. [Tweets] Yet again the FBI is committing a "misstep," refusing to release an unclassified document that purports to show that the FBI has knowledge about a bribery scheme that President Biden engaged in. The document, which should be available to Congress if not released to the public, has been subpoenaed.

IRS Whistleblower Defies the Biden Administration and the Media. For years, a Democrat-controlled Congress refused to investigate Biden family influence-peddling, and the press dismissed people raising Hunter's laptop as spreading "Russian disinformation." The media have worked hard to minimize the blowback after acknowledging the laptop's authenticity and the growing evidence of millions in influence-peddling. Part of this effort at "scandal implosion" has been to dismiss any criminal charges as relatively minor tax violations unconnected to the president. Indeed, when the president recently agreed to a rare sit-down interview, the White House chose MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle. Before asking about his son Hunter's scandal, Ruhle emphasized it was "something personal" with "no ties to you." Many of us guffawed at the claim given multiple references on the laptop to President Biden, including possibly sharing in the proceeds from influence-peddling with foreign governments.

Here's What The IRS Whistleblower Will Tell Lawmakers About The Hunter Biden Probe Behind Closed Doors. IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley will appear before the House Ways and Means Committee later Friday morning to submit to questioning from both Democrats and Republicans. Missing, however, will be any members of the Senate Finance Committee, which refused to conduct a joint interview with the House oversight committee. While Republican Rep. Jason Smith, chair of the Ways and Means Committee, held the power to authorize Senate representatives to attend the transcribed interview of the whistleblower, Smith inexplicably ignored Shapley's statement that he "would welcome" the participation of designated Senate staffers in the House hearing. Thus the House hearing will proceed, but not on a bicameral basis.

IRS Whistleblower Accuses Agency of 'Slow-Walking' Hunter Biden Probe. Gary Shapley, an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblower, said that the federal agency "slow-walked" its investigation into the finances of President Joe Biden's son, Hunter. "There were multiple steps that were slow-walked — were just completely not done — at the direction of the Department of Justice," the IRS agent told CBS News in his first public interview on Wednesday night. "When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately saw deviations from the normal process. It was way outside the norm of what I've experienced in the past." [Tweet with video clip]

FBI says NO to subpoena from Chairman Comer. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has failed to respond to a subpoena issued by the House Oversight Committee in the ongoing investigation that has been spearheaded by Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., several outlets have reported. RSBN revealed on Monday [5/22/2023] that the FBI was poised to possibly brief Rep. Comer as the Oversight Committee continues to investigate Joe Biden and the entire Biden family's link to shady business dealings over the past several years. [Tweet]

The scandal that's hit America and will be bigger than Watergate. The current reports of executive branch illegality make Watergate look like kindergarten mischief. It is clear from the Durham report and the work of House Republican hearings that the current scandals in the Biden White House — and senior bureaucracies at the Justice Department, IRS and elsewhere — are much deeper and more cancerous than Watergate ever was. [...] John Mitchell became the first attorney general to be sent to jail. He was found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury. [...] Mitchell is an extremely important parallel to the current disaster, because Attorney General Merrick Garland seems to be doing a lot more obstructing of justice than Mitchell ever dreamed of doing. Garland's Justice Department reportedly instructed the IRS to disband the unit investigating Hunter Biden's taxes. He has used the FBI to harass former President Donald Trump and a wide range of Republicans. And he's turned a blind eye to every report of foreign money going to the Biden family ($3 million in one Chinese transaction, a diamond sent to Hunter Biden, millions of dollars sent by the widow of the Mayor of Moscow, etc.).

IRS Commissioner: DOJ Responsible for Whistleblower Purge from Hunter Biden Tax Probe. IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel told Congress the Justice Department (DOJ) made the decision to purge an IRS whistleblower from the DOJ's probe into Hunter Biden, according to a letter sent to House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jason Smith (R-MO). Werfel's letter on May 17 responded to Smith's May 16 inquiry about concerns that a high-ranking IRS agent faced retaliation for raising red flags about alleged political interference in the tax probe of Hunter Biden. Werfel said the decision to remove a whistleblower from the tax investigation was at the DOJ's direction, confirming what a second IRS whistleblower alleged Monday.

Capitol censors reject Hunter Biden movie screening. The producers of a docudrama about the Hunter Biden scandals claim that their film has been banned in the Capitol for political reasons. Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, the producers of My Son Hunter, told Secrets that Rep. Lauren Boebert's (R-CO) request that their film be shown in the Capitol Visitor Center was rejected by the Architect of the Capitol's office to block embarrassing the White House. "The Hunter Biden story is one of the most censored and suppressed stories of the past decade, and it seems the pattern is continuing despite constant emerging evidence showing that the movie My Son Hunter is much more a documentary than it is a drama. People need to see this movie because they deserve the truth after it was withheld for so long," said McElhinney. McAleer and McElhinney have produced several documentaries and docudramas on key issues including abortion, fracking, and the environment. In My Son Hunter, they dramatize the financial troubles and scandals of the first son.

FBI refuses to provide subpoenaed document on alleged Biden 'criminal scheme'. The Federal Bureau of Investigation failed to turn over a document subpoenaed by House Republicans that allegedly details a bribery scheme from then-Vice President Joe Biden. The agency refused to provide the document Monday in a private meeting with the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. The unclassified FD-1023 document details criminal allegations of a pay-to-play scheme related to the Biden family's business dealings, according to a whistleblower at the agency who spoke with Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., who chairs the Oversight Committee, issued the subpoena to the FBI, which previously failed to provide the document by a May 10 deadline. Comer said he wants to work with Senate Republicans to hold the FBI's budget "hostage" until the agency gets new leadership or provides the document.

FBI again refuses to comply with subpoena, declines to give House report on Biden bribery allegation. The FBI again refused to comply Monday with House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer's subpoena for a document that allegedly details a pay-to-play scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden. The bureau's latest refusal to turn over the unclassified FD-1023 document detailing an informant's criminal allegations against Biden, 80, came during a briefing between the Oversight Committee and FBI staff. Comer (R-Ky.) is expected to reveal the panel's next steps in the quest for the document sometime this week. Congress has the power to cut funding to federal agencies or use litigation to enforce subpoenas. The Republican-led House of Representatives also could move to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt or begin impeachment proceedings in an effort to apply pressure.

Second IRS Hunter Biden Whistleblower Comes Forward, Gets Threatened With Criminal Prosecution. Another IRS whistleblower involving the Hunter Biden investigation has been revealed, and according to a new report, threats of retaliation via criminal prosecution followed. That revelation comes after the IRS removed the entire investigative team overseeing the Hunter Biden case, which involves allegations of tax fraud and failure to file taxes. That left many with the impression that a full-scale cover-up was in effect. The request to remove the team reportedly came directly from the DOJ, which has continued to inexplicably stall any kind of final decision on whether to prosecute the president's degenerate son.

Biden Dismisses Chinese Spying as "Silly Balloon". The Biden administration tried to cover up China's espionage. It was only discovered because of a viral video out of Montana. Once the scandal broke, the Biden administration put on a show of "taking it seriously." Since then it's been confirmed that it was staged for the benefit of the American public. [...] The diplomatic relationship with China is managed by Bejing saying, "Jump" and Biden sending emissaries to carefully negotiate how high he will be expected to leap. After several weeks, China finally agrees to state the exact height of the jump as a non-negotiable set of statements. But contrast this moment of relative honesty from Biden with his previous butch address and posturing about the spy balloon. It was all lie. Like everything else.

Biden Again Demonstrates His Abject Unfitness to Be President. If he didn't bear the title of president of the United States and you met Old Joe Biden in any social setting, you'd smile and nod and not try to make any sense of what he was saying, because it would be abundantly clear that this is a man who is not in full possession of his faculties. But the poor WhiteHouse.gov transcript wonks have to try to turn Old Joe's dementia-addled ramblings into something remotely approaching sense and accuracy, and he had them working overtime at a G7 Summit press conference on Sunday [5/21/2023]. [Tweet with video clip] Sundown Joe is frequently incoherent, but this one made his most egregious brain-salad ramblings look like Shakespeare.

Beck and Levin provide a way to bring the Bidens to justice. Glenn Beck and Mark Levin have compiled a report that catalogues many of the crimes committed by the Biden family. The two broadcaster/journalists have put together a stunning list of the violations committed by the criminal first family. [...] In addition to Hunter's personal pleasure pursuits, it is also demonstrated that the Bidens repeatedly violated the FARA regulations, requiring agents for foreign governments to register as such. Multiple violations of this act by Hunter and his associates have gone uninvestigated and, thus, unprosecuted. The U.S. government did manage to use these laws to go after former Trump adviser Paul Manafort and find him guilty and sentenced him to seventy-three months in prison. Far greater wrongdoing on the part of Hunter and his associates remains unprosecuted. Chinese elites have paid approximately $31 million to Hunter, who distributed the funds throughout the family, including payments to "the big guy." Joe Biden met with at least 14 of Hunter's business associates while vice president. He continues to insist he never was involved with his son's business dealings, in effect daring us to call him a liar.

Poll: 4 in 10 Say Congress Should Begin Impeachment Proceedings on Biden. Four in ten likely voters believe Congress should begin impeachment proceedings on President Joe Biden, a Rasmussen Reports survey revealed on Thursday. The survey found 42 percent of likely voters indicating that Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against Biden, while 45 percent said lawmakers should not. While most Republicans (70 percent) believe Congress should and most Democrats (71 percent) believe Congress should not, independents remain relatively divided. Forty percent of independents do not believe Congress should begin impeachment proceedings on the 80-year-old president, compared to 39 percent who believe lawmakers should do so.

Hunter Biden cried poverty but still flew to his child-support hearing on a private jet for at least $55K. Hunter Biden cried poverty at his Arkansas child-support hearing earlier this month — despite flying to and from the courthouse aboard a luxury private jet owned by his close friend Kevin Morris. The 2001 Dassault Falcon 50 — formerly owned by country singer Brad Paisely — is registered to Plato LLC, for which Morris is the principal, California business records show. The $6 million jet took off from Los Angeles on April 30 just after 7 a.m, according to flight records reviewed by The [New York] Post. It flew cross-country to Washington DC where it landed at Dulles Airport.

Hunter Biden accused of 'playing games' in baby-mama child support case, lawyer rips claims he's poor. Hunter Biden is dragging his feet and "playing games" in his child support case — a "hallmark Biden litigation tactic," the mother of his out-of-wedlock daughter claims in new court papers. President Biden's 53-year-old son has been trying to lower his $20,000-a-month child support payments to former stripper Lunden Roberts — with whom he shares 4-year-old daughter Navy Joan Roberts — a move that Roberts has vowed to fight. "Mr. Biden does not want to disclose his income and assets, says that he is somewhat financially destitute, while he lives on a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, has Secret Service protection, and enjoys his time abroad (which he has also lied about in discovery)," Roberts' lawyer Clinton Lancaster wrote in court papers Friday.

FBI refuses to hand over document Republicans claim ties Biden to 'criminal' access scheme with foreign national. Top Republicans remind FBI Director Chris Wray he must comply with a subpoena for a document allegedly linking Joe Biden to a cash-for-access 'criminal scheme' or else face 'consequences.' 'The FBI's delay in producing a single, unclassified record is unacceptable,' said House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to Wray in a Friday evening letter marking nine days since the deadline passed. 'The FBI's credibility is on the line, and their continued failure to cooperate will have long lasting consequences,' added Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

The Union Is Not a Suicide Pact. Just last week, pretend-president Biden told the graduating class at Howard University that the biggest threat to the country is "white supremacy." The notion is so absurd that it came off like the kind of weak pandering that third-world dictators rhetorically vomit forth when they are eager to keep their citizens fighting one another and distracted from the government's primary role in their suffering. Given that Biden has a lifetime of racist behavior under his belt, I half expected Democrat presidents Woodrow Wilson and Lyndon Johnson to tap-dance out on stage and say, "America's most notoriously racist presidents approve this message." Leave it to the real white supremacists from the Democrat party to declare war on "white supremacy" outside the party! Does that brand of craziness sound like a government confident in its future stability? Because it sounds to me like the actions of a tin-pot tyrant desperately seeking a scapegoat.

Biden Stokes the Flames of Distrust. [Scroll down] Is racial harmony best achieved through developing an understanding of one another or by encouraging hatred and distrust? This brings me to Joe Biden's commencement speech at Howard University. He told a predominantly black audience that "white supremacy" is the greatest threat faced by our nation. I'm not going to analyze whether Joe has any substantiating evidence for that statement — or if it was just a flat-out lie. I want to talk about the effect that type of language has on the society he is charged to lead.

Schweizer: Oversight Committee Has Subpoenaed Phone Records for Joe Biden Phone Paid by Hunter Biden. The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed phone records of a phone belonging to President Joe Biden that Hunter Biden's business paid for, according to Peter Schweizer, Government Accountability Institute president in an interview on Tuesday [5/16/2023]. Schweizer said in an interview with 77 WABC's Cats & Cosby that it was discovered on Hunter Biden's laptop that he was paying a phone bill for his father from 2009 to 2017, which encompassed the time Biden was vice president.

IRS Axes 'Entire Investigative Team' Probing Hunter Biden Taxes: Report. As the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI were left reeling in the wake of John Durham's report on the "sobering" finding that there was no basis for the investigation into Trump's "Russian collusion," the DOJ reportedly wasted no time apparently trying to use the fury of media scrutiny to make another confounding decision. According to an exclusive report late Monday night from The New York Post, the IRS "removed the 'entire investigative team' from its long-running tax fraud probe of first son Hunter Biden in alleged retaliation against the whistleblower who alleged a coverup." [Tweet] In April, an anonymous IRS employee retained counsel after making protected disclosures at the federal agency and made contact with Republican House committee chairmen seeking to make additional protected disclosures to lawmakers about what the whistleblower called "preferential treatment" for Hunter Biden and knowledge of details that "contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee."

Can we please stop using the term 'President Biden'? One of Biden's chief functions for the left is his role as Straw Man in Chief. If you attack him, you're not attacking them. (Leftist) Mission accomplished. [...] [D]on't waste time on Biden. Focus on one row back. Biden is about to be history, courtesy of his current masters. But we will get only more of the same or worse.

Biden's Kampf. Biden is again running on the lie he morphed into a 'battle for the soul of our nation.' "When I ran for president four years ago, I said we are in a battle for the soul of America. And we still are." For Biden it has always been about his battle to secure the soul of America for those to whom he sold it. For George Soros it was about control to gain influence, access, and special treatment. After the election Biden formed a transition team that staffed itself with people connected to Soros. But his money also played a part. Soros spent over $70 million on activities that backed Biden's candidacy. Soros bought frequent access to Obama. That access returned under Biden. [...] Biden selected, on seventeen occasions, people for his transition teams who worked for organizations founded or funded by Soros.

IRS Whistleblower Removed From Hunter Biden Criminal Investigation, at Request of DOJ, Attorneys Say. The IRS has removed a whistleblower and his team from a criminal investigation into Hunter Biden's taxes and business dealings at the request of the Department of Justice, according to the whistleblower's attorneys. "Today, the [IRS] Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress," the whistleblower's lawyers said in a May 15 letter addressed to multiple congressional lawmakers, first obtained by Just the News. "He was informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice." Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's son, has been under federal investigation for alleged tax fraud, lobbying crimes, and money laundering.

IRS removes investigative team from Hunter Biden probe in move whistleblower claims is 'clearly retaliatory'. The IRS on Monday [5/15/2023] removed the "entire investigative team" from its long-running tax fraud probe of first son Hunter Biden in alleged retaliation against the whistleblower who recently contacted Congress to allege a cover-up in the case, The [New York] Post has learned. The purge allegedly was done on the orders of the Justice Department, the whistleblower's attorneys informed congressional leaders in a letter. "Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress. He was informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice," Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt wrote. The whistleblower, who supervised the Hunter Biden probe since early 2020, hasn't publicly identified the first son as the subject of the case that he says is being brushed under the rug, but congressional sources confirmed it.

By The Standards Democrats Applied To Trump, Joe Biden Is A Traitor. Joe Biden's family's use of his high-level U.S. government positions to rake in millions from product-free "business deals" has been documented since before the Obama administration, perhaps most extensively by journalist Peter Schweizer. Last week, Republicans in Congress added more evidence to the accruing pile indicating the Biden family has been selling influence with the American government to foreign bidders for decades. House Republicans called on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate evidence at least nine Biden family members functioned as cutouts for some $10 million in foreign payments to "the big guy." The nest of foreign payments to Biden family members under nearly two dozen shell companies looks like a mafia ledger. Corporate outlets largely ignored the new evidence that would have led to another impeachment push if Trump were president. [...] Again, apply this to the Biden family's "business deals," and Joe Biden should have been impeached as a traitor the day he took office. According to Schweizer, many of the Chinese officials who paid Biden family members were connected with high-level Chinese government intelligence. [...] Americans need to know what the Biden family did and may still be doing for Ukrainian officials in exchange for Hunter Biden's well-documented Ukranian sinecure. How many of those American war billions for Ukraine that we can't trace are going to oligarchs who made payments to Biden family members?

At Least 5 Whistleblowers Come Forward Against Biden Family. At least five whistleblowers have come forward to allege wrongdoing by the Biden family in connection with business schemes and corresponding coverups. The whistleblowers are in addition to the multitude of witnesses that Republican members of Congress have interviewed behind closed doors. The whistleblowers range from an IRS agent to an Obama administration stenographer, encompassing alleged corruption in Ukraine and Mexico, along with the FBI and DOJ. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who testified before the House's new Select Subcommittee on Political Weaponization in 2023, said whistleblower disclosures indicate the FBI has evidence that Joe Biden is aware of the family business schemes, a statement that directly contradicts the president.

The Latest Development in the Biden Family Corruption Investigation Is Not Good. We have the China connections, thanks to former associate Tony Bobulinski who gave all the alleged incriminating documents to the FBI, which unsurprising have been tossed into the bureau's Bermuda Triangle located in the evidence room. The Burisma dealings, where Hunter was paid tens of thousands a month to sit on the board of that Ukrainian energy company in return for access to Obama officials, is also widely documented. There's a tax evasion investigation, along with how Hunter, a prohibited person, obtained a handgun. Well, he lied on the latter. The mountain of evidence could scale Everest, but are we confident that charges will be filed as long as Joe Biden and the Democrats control the Justice Department? In the meantime, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chair of the House Oversight Committee, revealed that a top witness in his investigation has gone missing.

Key Witness in Biden Bribery Scheme Missing, FBI Won't Offer Assistance. As RedState previously reported, Rep. James Comer and other Republicans in both the House and Senate are currently in the midst of an investigation into an alleged bribery scheme involving the Biden family. Specifically, the FBI is in possession of a 1023 form that includes supposed evidence and witness testimony to that effect. But while the FBI has not denied that they have the form, they have attempted to stonewall, claiming confidentiality concerns. Now, another roadblock has appeared. According to Comer, some witnesses have gone missing while others are in jail, and the FBI is refusing to assist in locating them. That was said on Fox News on Sunday, and Jonathan Turley summarized Comer's remarks. [Tweet]

The Editor says...
Given what we've learned about the FBI in the last four or five years, I'd be willing to believe that the "missing" witnesses are in the custody of the FBI, which explains why they won't assist in the search for them. Most likely, if the witnesses are not found, the news media will hint that no such witness exists.

Biden Calls 'White Supremacy' the 'Most Dangerous Terrorist Threat' in Speech at Black College. Joe Biden is a born political panderer. It's how he won the Democratic Party nomination, and it played a large role in his victory over Donald Trump. Telling people what they want to hear is a political skill that most politicians possess. But there may never have been a politician as adept and skilled as Joe Biden in pandering to voters based on their race, their gender, their sexual identity, or any other aspect of their personhood that can be sliced, diced, and pureed to create a message tailor-made for a particular Democratic constituency. Biden gave the commencement address to the historically black college of Howard University on Saturday and turned on the pander up to "10" in his bid to win over his audience.

James Comer accuses White House of intimidation regarding Biden family business dealings. A top Republican accused the White House of "intimidating" players with knowledge of the Biden family's overseas business dealings. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) urged the "FBI work with us" as his panel struggles to get more information out of those individuals who know about the family's dealings with Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC, eastern Europe, and more. "Nine of the 10 people that we've identified that have very good knowledge with respect to the Bidens — they're one of three things: they're either currently in court, they're currently in jail, or they're currently missing," Comer told Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. "Honestly, they fear for their lives. Not only are the Biden lawyers and the Biden White House intimidating them, the media is trying to intimidate and discredit them," he added.

Howard University's criteria for Biden's honorary degree draws mockery as mental fitness questioned. President Joe Biden was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from Howard University on Saturday for his "analytical intellect" and "popularity on both sides" — claims mocked by conservatives on Twitter and contradicted by recent polls. Dr. Wayne Frederick, the president of Howard University, introduced Biden with high praise at the school's 155th commencement on Saturday [5/13/2023]. "Admired for your sound analytical intellect and open embrace for all, your popularity on both sides of the aisle of the United States led to your illustrious reputation and outstanding service of 36 years as a Democratic senator from Delaware beginning at a tender age of 29," Frederick said of Biden.

Howard University hands Biden an honorary degree for his 'analytical intellect'. What's a doctoral degree from Howard University worth? Well, Joe Biden got one, honorary at least ... based on his 'sound analytical intellect' and 'illustrious reputation.' [...] Which kind of raises questions as to whether a degree from that school is worth anything at all. Biden can't recall what day of the week it is, let alone analytically analyze anything more critical than lining his family's pockets. He cannot speak in public without a teleprompter and at times reads even the cues on it. He dodges the press. He campaigned from his basement — to keep any unscripted moment out of the public eye. He wanders off and gets lost at the buffet table. Our enemies smile and make the most of it. If this is what passes for 'analytical intellect' at Howard, it would be interesting to find out what they consider 'stupid.'

Marjorie Taylor Greene plans to lead a probe into Hunter Biden 'paying for sex workers' amid fears they were human trafficking victims. Marjorie Taylor Greene plans to lead a probe into whether sex workers Hunter Biden allegedly paid for were victims of human trafficking. This comes amid the House Oversight Committee's continuing investigation into President Joe Biden's second son's dealings. 'Congresswoman Greene is very concerned about the possibility that the women being paid for prostitution by the President's son who were foreign nationals were human trafficked,' a committee spokesperson told DailyMail.com.

GOP Rep. Mace: The Amount of Evidence Against Hunter Biden 'Is Ridiculous'. Friday on FNC's "Hannity," Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) blasted the FBI and the Department of Justice for how it has handled the investigation into possible wrongdoing of the Biden family while attempting to indict former President Donald Trump for misdemeanors. The South Carolina lawmaker said her track record showed she wasn't in the tank for Trump and asserted the amount of evidence against first son Hunter Biden was "ridiculous." "I will tell you, this is, as you say, Sean — everything you said was a hundred percent true, and this is just the tip of the iceberg," she said. "

Comer says fresh evidence warrants investigation of Joe Biden 'for public corruption'. The chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee says his probe of Biden family business dealings has evolved from examining lucrative overseas business payments to determining whether Joe Biden corruptly took policy actions to enrich his family. "This is an investigation of the president of the United States for public corruption," he told Just the News. In a wide-ranging interview Thursday on the state of his investigation, Comer, R-Ky., said his review of scores of suspicious activity reports flagging transactions involving Biden family businesses and partners indicated that major banks had serious concerns about money laundering dating back many years. "What about money laundering?," he asked on the "Just the News No Noise" TV show. "Multiple banks in those violations implied that there was money laundering going on. What about racketeering? Racketeering is when you create shell companies and fake companies that serve no purpose other than to launder money."

Turley calls out Biden family's 'labyrinth of LLCs': Only ones not listed 'are the pets'. Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley argued on "America's Newsroom" Friday [5/12/2023] that House Republicans' new allegations about the Biden family, including details about several LLCs, "confirm our worst expectations" about the "family business." New allegations from House Republicans outline several Biden family members including grandkids who, according to bank records, received funds from foreign business dealings. [Transcript]

Biden Heads to the Beach as Border Crisis Explodes, DHS Forces Officers to Work All Weekend. Joe Biden is headed to his Rehoboth Beach compound for the weekend as the border crisis explodes. Title 42 expired Friday at midnight and a migrant child has already died in US custody. The border crisis is out of control and Joe Biden doesn't have a care in the world.

[During the 2020 election, the] CIA had 'no evidence' Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, says top intel officer. A former top intelligence officer with oversight of threats ahead of the 2020 election said the Central Intelligence Agency had "no evidence" at the time that Hunter Biden's laptop had anything to do with a Russian disinformation campaign, despite claims from then-candidate Joe Biden's allies. Just before the election, 51 former national security officials wrote a public letter claiming the Hunter Biden laptop had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." It was signed by former President Obama CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA director and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, among others. However, in an interview with Fox News Digital, former National Intelligence Officer for Cyber Chris Porter said that claims from Biden's supporters "did not reflect" the actual intelligence.

Biden Inc knew their "clients" were CCP intel fronts — and so did the FBI. Yesterday's presser by James Comer and House Oversight raised a lot of questions about the Biden family's business affairs — and especially what exactly they were peddling for $10 million or more. No one yet can explain what legitimate products or services got exchanged for that cash, nor has anyone offered any explanation for why legitimate compensation would have to get run through the labyrinth of LLCs and the Biden Inc pattern of structured payments. Of course, some people just don't want to know — especially our Protection Racket Media: [Tweet]

Deep State can't cover for scale of Biden corruption. If the bombshells unleashed at Wednesday morning's House Oversight Committee press conference had been about the corruption of a Republican president via millions of dollars in foreign bribes to his family, the clamor for impeachment would have been deafening. But Joe Biden has the protection of the Deep State and unscrupulous Democratic lawyers, so accountability will be slower, though no less certain, if Oversight Chairman James Comer continues his dogged pursuit of the money. Comer (R-Ky.) has delivered an astonishing forensic interim accounting of $10 million in payments from just two of the countries, Romania and China, which enriched the president's family during his vice presidency and in the weeks afterward. That's not counting further millions from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Romania, Oman, or earlier China deals and "other foreign business deals the Committee is investigating." The only business the Bidens were engaged in for all that filthy lucre was selling Joe's influence to the highest foreign bidder when he was VP, with no regard for national security, and with his knowledge and active involvement, including meeting at least a dozen of son Hunter Biden's foreign benefactors.

Biden's Chinese financial dealings are a counterintelligence nightmare. In other words, Hunter Biden knew exactly what sort of people his friends from Beijing were. During the critical 2017-18 time frame, it was hardly a secret that CEFC was closely allied with the Chinese Communist Party, its military, and its intelligence services. Even CNN in 2018 admitted that CEFC leadership, above all Ye Jianming, appeared to be unusually close with Chinese intelligence. Before that, CEFC was run out of the Czech Republic thanks to its shady business acquisitions, plus its efforts to buy off Czech politicians and influencers were so blatant that they got the attention of Prague's counterintelligence service. CEFC's activities in the Czech Republic represented a classic case of weaponizing a front company to lavish funds in the service of Beijing's interests.

John Brennan's closed-door hearing 'confirmed' Hunter laptop letter was 'all political': Jim Jordan. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Fox News the testimony his panel heard in private from Obama-era CIA Director John Brennan "confirmed" the letter signed by 51 current and former intel officials was not on-the-level. "[Brennan] sat for a four-hour interview and he further confirmed that this thing was all political," Jordan said on "Jesse Watters Primetime." Jordan recounted his allegation that then-Biden campaign adviser Antony Blinken was the "impetus" behind the letter, which he said was organized in-part by former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell, who testified before the Judiciary Committee earlier in May.

How the Biden corruption empire ran under the radar for so long. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer declared Wednesday, "While Vice President Biden was lecturing Romania on anti-corruption policies, in reality he was a walking billboard for his son and family to collect money." Comer noted that "the money stops flowing from the Romanian national soon after Joe Biden leaves the vice presidency." Former US Treasury official Phil Stephenson testified in 2017 that the Romanian "fight against corruption itself has been corrupted." Romania is only the tip of the iceberg of payoffs that the Biden family — including Joe's grandkids — pocketed from shady foreigners. A House Oversight Committee analysis exposed "the Biden family's pattern of courting business in regions of the world in which the then Vice President had an outsize role and influenced U.S. policy."

Hunter Biden and ex-wife Kathleen Buhle's divorce attorneys were aware of 'Romania deal' payments. Divorce lawyers for Hunter Biden and his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle were aware of money hitting Hunter's bank account from a "Romania deal," emails show, appearing to contradict Buhle's previous claims she had her "head buried in the sand" when it came to Hunter's finances. During a press conference Wednesday [5/10/2023], House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed Buhle was one of several Biden family members, including Hallie Biden, who received foreign money and that Hunter received over $1 million from Romania. According to 2016 and 2017 emails reviewed by Fox News Digital from Hunter's abandoned laptop, divorce lawyers for Hunter and Buhle were aware of payments from a "Romania deal" and discussed how it should be divided among the two parties.

Feds Started A Dangerous Game With Hunter Biden's Laptop, But GOP Lawmakers Can Finish It. The interim report of the House Intelligence Committee and Weaponization Subcommittee released Wednesday established extensive coordination between the Biden campaign and those behind the statement signed by 51 former intelligence officials that painted the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation. More explosive, however, is the fact, first reported on Tuesday by The Federalist, that a Central Intelligence Agency employee solicited a former CIA officer to sign the statement. Yet there is still much more to unravel to expose the breadth and depth of the info op painting the infamous laptop as Russian disinformation and the government actors involved. Here are five threads that will lead to the truth. [#1] Subpoena All 51 Signatories: As its title stated, the House's report focused on "How Senior Intelligence Community Officials and the Biden Campaign Worked to Mislead American Voters." While the October 2020 letter signed by the former intelligence officials is only part of the scandal, it's a solid entry point to learning the identity of many of those involved.

The Staggering Flaws of the Biden Family. Joe Biden is not the captain of our Ship of State; a shadow government pulls his strings. I cannot view Biden in the context of his record and statements and see him as an able leader. [...] Biden's mental acuity should be a central issue. If intellectually incompetent, he should not be the leader of the free world. [...] Biden came from humble means, never worked in the private sector, but somehow became wildly wealthy. Several of Biden's family members essentially work in the family business of apparent influence peddling. [...] When asked how many grandchildren he has, Biden answers, "I don't know." Widely known is the fact that Hunter Biden had a child with a stripper, and the Biden family refuses to acknowledge little Navy Joan's paternity. This flaw telegraphs so much more though. Failing to own up to the truth, neglecting the role of a financial supporter of your own offspring, and canceling a child by denying her existence are actions having vast trust and integrity ramifications. Why should we trust someone who thinks and lives only for himself?

Biden Family Tried To Hide Over $10 Million In Foreign Payments: House GOP. Summary: House Republicans laid out evidence of a vast network of Biden family dealings which reek of corruption — including;
• The Biden family received, and tried to hide, over $10 million in payments from foreign nationals
• A previously undisclosed $1 million in Romanian-linked payments
• Ties to Romanian 'influence peddling'
• A 'web' of 20 LLCs created while Joe Biden was Vice President with a 'complicated corporate structure'
• 'At least 15' of the LLCs were formed after Biden became VP in 2009 — several of which were owned or co-owned by Hunter
• These LLCs accepted payments ranging from $5,000 to $3 million
• The committee wants to know what legitimate business the Biden family was in

Clear Political Intent — FBI Refuses to Turn Over Unclassified Investigative Report Detailing Joe Biden Bribery Scheme. Congress has specific knowledge of an investigative document inside the FBI known as an FD-1023. The FD-1023 details the evidence delivered by confidential human sources to investigators. The specific FD-1023 is a multi-page document outlining the entire bribery scheme used by Joe Biden and his family. The person who helped detail the FD-1023 documents has informed congress of its existence. Because this unclassified FD-1023 outlines the details of how Joe Biden used his office to accept bribes from foreign officials, the FBI is refusing to release it. Instead, the FBI is telling Congress they have no right to see it. The FBI is claiming that reports from Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) cannot be released, regardless of classification status. Further, what you will note in the claims of the FBI and DOJ is essentially what we have been talking about on these pages for several years. Information is intentionally put into institutional silos that keep the information hidden and protected. The silo use is everywhere in Washington DC.

Biden Family Attempted To Hide More Than $10 Million In Foreign Payments, Republicans Allege. The Biden family attempted to hide more than $10 million in payments from foreign nationals through a web of privately-held companies, House Oversight and Government Accountability Committee chairman James Comer of Kentucky said Wednesday [5/10/2023] at a press conference. Since taking control of the House, Republicans have undertaken wide-ranging investigations into the Biden family's business practices. While Hunter Biden's Ukrainian and Chinese energy deals have been widely reported, the House Oversight Committee has looked at other family members, including the president's brother James and sister Valerie.

Biden family 'got $1 million from Romania' while Joe vowed to clean up corruption. Republicans are digging in on over $10 million received by Biden family members from foreign actors, including previously undisclosed $1 million in Romanian-linked payments, and a 'web' of 20 companies created while President Joe Biden was vice president and pushing anti-corruption efforts abroad. On Wednesday [5/10/2023], House Oversight Committee Republicans led by Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., released a 'Second Records Memorandum' that expands on information it received from subpoena returns as the committee continues its investigation into the Biden family's business practices.

Shocking new developments emerge in the explosive Biden Romania scandal. All roads lead to Romania, according to a recent report by the House Oversight Committee that revealed Joe Biden received foreign funds from Romania during his time in office as vice president. The news has come as a bombshell and added to the scrutiny of the Biden family's alleged corruption. While Ukraine and China have been the primary focus of the Biden Crime Family allegations, Romania was never considered to be a potential source of foreign funds... but here we are. We also know, thanks to a 2022 New York Post report, that Hunter Biden met with his father multiple times while he was working for a Romanian real estate tycoon accused of corruption — an effort that netted Joe Biden's second son and associates "millions" of dollars, a source close to the arrangement told The Post. Experts previously told The Post Hunter Biden's failure to register as a foreign agent was almost certainly a violation of the federal Foreign Agent Registration Act.

Bank Records Show Biden Family Received $10 Million in Payments From China, Foreign Interests: House Oversight. Banking and other records made public Wednesday by House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) depict a complex money laundering scheme involving millions of dollars, many from foreign countries, given to President Joe Biden and nearly a dozen members of his family. In a memorandum summarizing findings to date of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, chaired by Comer (R-Ky.), investigators described examining thousands of bank records and legal documents depicting nearly two dozen Limited Liability Corporations (LLCs) established by Biden family members to receive payments from private clients, corporations and foreign governments, including China and Romania.

Oversight Committee: Biden Family Business Received over $10 Million from Romania, China for Unknown Work. The Biden family business over the course of several years received over $10 million from business schemes in Romania and China in return for what appears to be influence peddling, bank documents obtained Wednesday by Breitbart News from the House Oversight Committee show. In total, Biden family members and business associates designed a web of over 20 companies, many of which were formed during Joe Biden's vice presidency, the committee revealed. In total, the Biden family, business associates, and companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals' companies, the committee found.

Bidens Used Web of Shell Companies to Conceal Foreign Cash, Bank Records Obtained by House GOP Reveal. The Biden family and its business associates created a complicated web of more than 20 companies, according to bank records obtained by the House Oversight Committee — a system GOP lawmakers say was meant to conceal money received from foreign nationals. Sixteen of the companies were limited liability companies formed during Joe Biden's tenure as vice president, the committee said in a press conference on Wednesday. The Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received more than $10 million from foreign nationals' and their related companies, the records show. These payments occurred both while Biden was in office as vice president and after his time in office ended.

Chaffetz: Joe And Hunter Biden Basically Committed "Treason," White House Press Room "Should Erupt". ["]This is corruption at the highest level, to not only enrich the Biden family en masse, but also corruption that is an intelligence security risk for the United States of America. If you look at the money and size, particularly in China, we are talking about people with direct ties to the highest levels of the Chinese government where Hunter Biden is involved and engaged in securing, for instance, one of the biggest cobalt mines in the world. So Joe Biden goes with Hunter Biden to China in 2013, and less than two weeks after they return from that trip, suddenly Hunter Biden gets all of this money? Are you kidding me? What other evidence do we need of treason and those types of things?["]

The explosive new evidence of Biden family's breathtaking corruption. The sheer magnitude of Biden family corruption uncovered by the House Oversight Committee can only be described as breathtaking. It is also deeply alarming. If the fruits of Chairman James Comer's investigation are exactly what they appear to be, Joe Biden may have jeopardized our nation's security by selling out America for cold hard cash. Documents show that over $10 million in foreign money flowed like a river into more than 20 shell companies and LLCs created for the Bidens' financial benefit, said Comer. Much of it was then surreptitiously shuffled around various accounts before it landed in the hands of nine members of the president's family. Those companies have no apparent business purpose other than to serve as a receptacle for hiding cash derived from suspected influence peddling schemes overseas.

NEPO babies and the Biden RICO gang. [Scroll down] So drenched in their myopic corruption and ill-gotten gain, their careless damage to America is inestimable. How do we know? From their own words and deeds. There is thenVice-President Biden on video describing how he strong-armed Ukraine and had officials there fired. There is Hunter's infamous laptop where we learn of a vig to the 'Big Guy' from six and seven figure foreign payments to Hunter for bogus work and American carve-outs. There is the credible detailed testimony given by Mr. Tony Bobulinski. There is Biden's inexplicable job-destroying, US oil production shutdowns, forcing Americans to pay obscene and needlessly high prices for gas — to foreign countries. There is Biden's failed border policy that permits an invasion of global bad actors, terrorist cells, child pornography and prostitution, and drugs. American cities are being destroyed by these illegal aliens, the homeless in tent camps, resulting inhuman waste and illegal sexual activity on stark public display.

CIA Solicited Signatures For Hunter Biden Laptop Letter, Congressional Testimony Shows. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) both solicited signatures for and eventually approved the infamous 2020 letter claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop story was a Russian disinformation plot, recent congressional testimony suggests. According to a report to be released Wednesday by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, multiple former U.S. intelligence officials testified under oath about the CIA's involvement in the distribution of the letter, which was eventually signed by more than 50 former senior U.S. intelligence officials. "One signer of the statement, former CIA analyst David Cariens, disclosed to the Committees that a CIA employee affiliated with the agency's Prepublication Classification Review Board ('PCRB') informed him of the existence of the statement and asked if he would sign it," the House investigative report notes. "The Committees have requested additional material from the CIA, which has ignored the request to date."

Biden accuser Tara Reade: 'If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden'. Tara Reade, who says President Joe Biden sexually assaulted her in the 1990s when she worked in his U.S. Senate office, posted a cryptic message about what should happen if she dies. "I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden," Reade tweeted Sunday. "Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying and intimidation over the last three years will not work. She also said that she is not suicidal, nor a foreign agent and she only decided to tell the truth and testify under oath in Congress about her experience working for Biden. The president has denied allegations of the assault since Reade came forward in 2020 about it.

Joe Biden Accuser Tara Reade Declares 'I Am Not Suicidal' After Invite to Testify to Congress. Joe Biden accuser Tara Reade issued a warning over the weekend, telling her 117.3K followers on Twitter that she is "not suicidal," as she could have the opportunity to testify on her assault claims following an invitation from Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL). In March, both Republicans formally invited Reade to testify regarding her claims that President Joe Biden sexually assaulted her years ago. Reade claims Biden made unwanted sexual advances toward her while she worked as an intern in his Senate office in the early 1990s. More specifically, she told New York City blogger Katie Halper that Biden pinned her against a wall and kissed her before going further.

Hunter Biden Associate Told to Start Singing or Face Jail Time. Rumors of a coming indictment of Hunter Biden are heating up, but one of his business associates is already facing jail time. Devon Archer founded Rosemont Seneca Partners with Hunter Biden and helped get the president's son a position on the board of Burisma. The two also worked together to secure payments from Chinese-controlled entities. Archer was convicted of fraud in 2018 for a scheme involving bonds and the Oglala Sioux tribe. Since then, Archer has had his conviction vacated and reinstated, and now he's staring at one final appeal on Tuesday. That means he's running out of time, and friends are urging him to start singing before it's too late.

Arkansas Judge Suggests Hunter Biden's Art Dealer Reveal Prices of Paintings Sold to Anonymous Buyers. Hunter Biden's art dealer, Georges Bergès, could be subpoenaed to reveal the price of his paintings sold to anonymous buyers, an Arkansas judge suggested in court Monday during a child support hearing between the president's son and Lunden Roberts, the mother of his child. Hunter Biden, who has refused to be forthcoming about his financials in a paternity case he reopened in 2022 to reduce his child support payments, was slammed by the presiding judge for "sealing and redacting" his financial information, including the income he earned from selling art as a novice painter to anonymous buyers for up to $500,000.

Hunter Biden arranged NYC meeting between VP Biden and Rosemont-connected business associate. A client of Hunter Biden's now-defunct firm visited the White House multiple times during the Obama administration, including visits with then-Vice President Biden and a top Biden aide, in addition to spending "a lot of time" with Biden during a casual New York City meeting arranged by the younger Biden, according to a series of emails reviewed by Fox News Digital[.] Nicolas Rohatyn, a Biden donor and the founder and CEO of The Rohatyn Group, met with Biden and visited the White House several times when Biden was vice president and when Hunter's now-defunct Rosemont Seneca Partners (RSP) was overseeing his hedge fund accounts. Rohatyn's business relationship with Hunter appears to have started in March 2010, when Hunter and Eric Schwerin, RSP's then-president, discussed inviting him to a "Mexico Lunch." The Mexico State Dinner at the White House was held on May 19, 2010, so it appears the lunch occurred around this time.

How Much More Involved is Antony Blinken in the Biden Laptop Coverup Scandal? A recent press release from the offices of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and House Intel Committee Chairman Mike Turner revealed an incredible discovery in the Hunter Biden laptop debacle. The press release revolved around testimony from Michael Morrell, the former Deputy Director of the CIA. Morrell was also intricately involved in the creation of the debunked "Public Statement on the Hunter Biden Emails."

Ex-prosecutor approached DOJ in 2018 with witness who claimed Joe Biden involved in 'bribery'. A respected former federal prosecutor approached the U.S. Justice Department in fall 2018 on behalf of a foreign witness who claimed to have evidence that Joe Biden had "exercised influence to protect" his son's employer in Ukraine in return for money to his family, according to interviews and documents obtained by Just the News. The agency didn't take up the ex-prosecutor on his offer but instead secretly obtained his phone records a year later in an apparent effort to identify his contacts. Retired Little Rock, Ark., U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins wrote then-New York U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman on Oct. 4, 2018 that then-Ukraine Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko was willing to travel to the United States to present evidence about the Bidens and Burisma Holdings. Lutsenko believes "VP Biden (and Sec State Kerry) exercised influence to protect Burisma Holdings in exchange for payments to Hunter Biden, (business partner) Devon Archer, and Joe Biden," Cummins emailed Berman.

Joe Biden's bribery allegations were brought to the DOJ in 2018. A former federal prosecutor brought forward a bribery allegation involving Joe Biden and an unnamed foreign national back in 2018, a full two years before charges were brought by a whistleblower now speaking to the House Oversight Committee. Bud Cummins, a former federal prosecutor, made the accusation to US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoff Berman back on October 4, 2018, dating to Biden's term as vice president, according to interviews and documents obtained by Just the News. He wrote Berman an email claiming to have evidence President Biden 'exercised influence to protect' son Hunter's Ukrainian employers 'in exchange for payments' to both father and son as well as Hunter's friend and business partner Devon Archer.

Bribery Probe May Sink Biden Reelection Bid. When House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) subpoenaed the FBI for documentation that may link President Biden to a bribery scheme perpetrated when he was Vice President, the White House response was oddly overwrought: "For going on 5 years now, Republicans in Congress have been lobbing unfounded politically-motivated attacks against @POTUS without offering evidence for their claims." This was a very strange charge to make concerning a mere subpoena for documents supporting the disclosures of a whistleblower. Comer's subpoena gives FBI Director Christopher Wray until May 10 to produce the following: "All FD-1023 forms, including within any open, closed or restricted access case files, created or modified in June 2020, containing the term 'Biden,' including all accompanying attachments and documents to those FD-1023 forms." This particular form is used by FBI agents to record statements made by informants and the specified date range suggests that Biden had been reported for taking bribes from a foreign national and that the file was "tidied up" right around the time he nailed down the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

Old Joe Biden Says With a Straight Face: 'I've Proven Myself to Be Honorable'. The least honorable president in American history had a softball interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle on Friday, in which he uttered one of the most outlandish lies of his entire life, which has been filled with his outlandish lies: "I think I've proven myself to be honorable, as well as effective." As Matt Margolis noted Sunday, this was in the course of a paean of boasting from Old Joe Biden that included praise of his own wisdom and experience. But now Joe Biden would have us believe that he is honorable, too? Come on, man! This guy lies every time his lips move. The part about Old Joe being effective, however, was actually true. If Biden wanted to weaken America (politically, militarily, and economically), erase the Southern border, antagonize our friends as well as our enemies worldwide, and advance the Left's socialist, authoritarian agenda at the expense of the American people, then he has indeed done a bang-up job.

Biden setting stage for pardoning Hunter as he frames potential DOJ charges as 'political witch hunt'. President Biden is setting the stage for pardoning his son Hunter as his Department of Justice weighs a potential indictment stemming from a years-long federal investigation, Fox News contributor Miranda Devine warned. Devine's comments come after Biden finally addressed the possibility of his son facing charges during a rare sit-down interview where he dismissed the chance that it would have any impact on his tenure in office. "That mythology of Joe Biden that's been around for more than four decades, which is that he's a lovely family man... moderate Democrat, lunch pail Joe, working class Joe, the poorest man in Congress, and a wonderful family man full of empathy because of the tragedies in his own life. That's what he's playing on," Devine said during "Fox & Friends Weekend" Sunday [5/7/2023]. [...] But Devine was quick to argue Biden's response was premeditated, and part of a broader Biden strategy to frame the probe as a "political witch hunt."

Who are the whistleblowers that have come out against the Biden Crime Regime? [Thread reader] In 2009 Hunter Biden founded an investment firm called Rosemont Seneca Partners and a man named Eric Scherwin was enlisted as President. Rosemont Seneca aggressively pursued deals in foreign countries like Russia, China, Ukraine and Romania. [...] Tony Bobulinski was the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings, a company formed between the Biden's and China's largest state run energy company CFEC to launder millions to the Biden family, and famously "10% to the Big Guy". [...] Former Obama stenographer Mike McCormick traveled to Ukraine with Joe Biden on Air Force One, 3 days after Hunter joined the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma. While in Ukraine, Joe pushed to boost gas production which directly benefited his son's company with over $400 mil in revenue. McCormick is now blowing the whistle on the Biden's criminal kickback scheme in Ukraine.

Biden Admin is Coordinating with Hunter Biden's Lawyers. The overall theme of the Axios post is to emphasize "division" between the Biden administration, whose appointees will make the final decision on whether to take action against the president's son, and Hunter's lawyers. What it actually reveals is that the White House is coordinating with Hunter's lawyer. [...] Why is this even happening? Hunter Biden is 53 years old. 53! He's not a child. He's a father with kids. He is capable of handling his legal issues without involving the Biden administration. The administration is choosing to be involved. Hunter's lawyer meeting with top White House officials is coordination and while we know how this will play out, it's more obvious than ever that they're hardly even bothering to avoid the appearance of corruption. Biden can't have his people coordinate strategy with his son's lawyer and then pretend that his administration has no involvement in the case.

Biden Insists Hunter 'Has Done Nothing Wrong' Despite Mounting Evidence Against His Son. Although the White House refused to comment on the criminal charges being made against Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden insisted that his son "has done nothing wrong" ahead of a possible indictment. During an interview on MSNBC, Biden defended his son's alleged tax- and gun-related violations as federal prosecutors are close to deciding whether to indict Hunter Biden following a four-year-long investigation. "My son has done nothing wrong," Biden said.

Slow Joe's Meds Are Not Working. Joe Biden's idea of engaging directly with the media is submitting himself to the rigors of MSNBC "reporter" Stephanie Ruhle, who is an unusually lightweight and ideologically partisan media figure. But even she managed to summon up the moxie to ask Biden about his age. His answer belongs in the museum exhibit for "old man yells at cloud" phenomena — he's just so [...] much smarter than anyone else in the country: [Tweet] Ruhle also asks him a softball question about the national mood, and Biden waves off a staffer trying to stop him from answering, but then blurts out that "we can't let Obama" be president again: [Tweet] The entire interview is full of barely coherent ramblings.

Media's blind eye to Biden corruption allegations. Broadly speaking, Americans are divided into three groups over charges that Joe Biden participated in his family's corrupt influence-peddling schemes. First are those who, like me, are convinced the "big guy" secretly got his share of the foreign millions paid to his son and brothers over many years. Second, are those who are undecided because they haven't heard of the charges or don't know enough about them. The third group refuses to consider the charges because they are serious enough to send Biden packing and elect a Republican, possibly the dreaded Donald Trump. This third group comprises hardcore Democrats and the mainstream media, which are often indistinguishable. The differences in public opinion were on vivid display last week when two Republicans, Kentucky Rep. James Comer and Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, said a whistleblower told them the FBI has a document that links Joe Biden to a "criminal scheme" involving "money for policy decisions."

Where Is the Missing Biden Witness, Gal Luft? Last February, Dr. Gal Luft, a retired Israel Defense Forces lieutenant colonel with deep intelligence ties in Washington and Beijing, was arrested as an alleged gun runner. At the time, he claimed the arrest was to stop him from revealing what he knows about the Biden crime family and FBI corruption. Now, Dr. Luft has disappeared entirely. [...] In February 2023, Gal Luft found himself detained in Cyprus on arms trafficking charges as he was about to head for Israel. He claimed that this was politically motivated because had dirt on both the FBI and the Biden family. He'd tried to inform the DOJ in 2019, during Trump's presidency, but was ignored. Now, though, with things heating up around Biden, says Luft, he's being silenced. He contends that Hunter Biden had an FBI mole named "One-Eye." That mole told Ye [Jianming] and [Patrick] Ho that the DOJ was investigating them.

Grassley and Comer Say They've Found Evidence of Biden Getting PAID OFF for 'Policy Decisions'. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) wrote to Gestapo chief Merrick Garland and his henchman, FBI top dog Christopher Wray, on Wednesday with some allegations that were positively explosive. Grassley and Comer say that they've "received legally protected and highly credible unclassified whistleblower disclosures" regarding a "criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions." Would anyone really be surprised if it were positively determined that Old Joe Biden was paid off by foreigners to set policy in a way they dictated?

Media's long con to bury Hunter Biden's laptop scandal. It's the biggest con ever perpetuated by the national media. For all of their hysterics over "disinformation" and "collusion," we know now that they were indisputably the most guilty of both. Recent reports show how the Washington ruling class, including career intelligence officials, the media and Big Tech, plotted well in advance to suppress and discredit the fully authentic and legitimate Hunter Biden laptop story, solely for the purpose of influencing the 2020 election. The greatest offense was on behalf of the news media, the constitutionally protected institution charged with holding the powerful to account. In 2020, they abandoned that mission to do the complete opposite. Journalist Matt Taibbi laid out in meticulous detail Thursday how the influential left-wing Aspen Institute, with events attended by members of every major news publication, literally coached the media in the months leading up to the election on how to handle materials that would cast the Biden family in a negative light. No, not just any potential or unnamed political figure, literally the Biden family, specifically with relation to Hunter.

Biden's Delusions About Himself and Hunter Are on Full Display During MSNBC Interview. [Scroll down] [A]t this point, I think the hot dog vendor on the street knows more than Joe Biden does — at least the vendor understands basic economics, which Joe doesn't seem to. Imagine this guy — whose reputation for decades has been that he's not the sharpest tool in the drawer — gets into the office. Then he shows how awful he is. Then, on top of all that horrible failure, he brags about how much he knows. That's' Joe. He does have "experience" — but he's been wrong on virtually everything for decades. Honorable and effective? He lies more than anyone in the office I've ever seen. Yes, he's effective — if he is trying to be the worst ever and do anything he can to hurt this country.

Confused Old Man Pretending to Be President Announces 'Major Press Conference' When There Isn't One. Old Joe Biden almost held a "major press conference" on Friday. Or rather, he announced one, and it was briefly big news, but as it turned out, it was just the dementia talking. Good thing he didn't declare war on anyone. How comforting it is that the adults are back in charge, eh? Biden has held so few press conferences that whenever he announces one, it's a significant event. David E. Clementson, an assistant professor in the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia, noted in a late February article at The Conversation that "it took Biden until late March 2021 to hold his first press conference, more than two months after his inauguration — the longest a new president had gone without holding a press conference in 100 years."

Biden is mocked for claiming he's holding a 'major press conference'. President Joe Biden teased journalists at the White House Friday telling them that he would answer their questions later that afternoon at a 'major press conference.' The only problem was there was no press conference on the schedule, and nobody in the White House press corps was aware of one was being planned. In reality, Biden was referring to a sit-down interview scheduled later in the day with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, which will air in full at 10 p.m. Friday night.

The curious case of the Biden voters who 'somewhat disapprove' of him. An article by Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report focuses on a puzzling phenomenon: ["][A]t this point, the share of voters who say they would vote for Biden over Trump is significantly higher than his job approval rating.["] To put it simply: Biden has a base of voters who don't really approve of his job performance. To me, this is a new phenomenon in American politics.

Why the bombshell Joe Biden bribery allegation matters. Sen. Charles Grassley's and Rep. James Comer's subpoena to the FBI to release an unclassified document it holds about a whistleblower allegation of a "criminal scheme" involving Joe Biden is nominally about whether the FBI ever bothers to investigate allegations of crime involving Democrats. [...] Bribery, which is what Comer suggested the matter involved, is an explicitly impeachable offense. Did the bureau act on an actual bribery allegation by a whistleblower? Or did they kick back and yawn, focusing on pro-life activists, angry parents at school board meetings, Latin Mass enthusiasts, and President Trump's disputes with the National Archives instead? That's their job. But the bribery allegation itself is worth looking at. After all, many Americans want to know how Joe Biden accumulated a fortune worth tens of millions of dollars or perhaps hundreds of millions while in public office. The phenomenon of public officials getting rich while in office has been going on for a while, but under Joe Biden, the fortunes are getting bigger, and the impunity is more shameless.

Uncovered Recruitment Email Confirms Infamous 'Intel Letter' Was Meant to Interfere in the 2020 Election. Former Obama-era CIA Director Mike Morell and current Secretary of State Antony Blinken were recently exposed as being behind the infamous "intel letter" that sought to dismiss Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation. Now, a new report is providing unassailable evidence of exactly what the motive behind the gambit was. According to The Washington Examiner, Morell sent a recruitment email to gather signatories for the letter. Notably, in the email, he admitted that the entire purpose was to give Joe Biden a rebuttal to Donald Trump's attacks during the presidential debates. [...] Morell sent the email with an admission that the entire purpose was to provide a "talking point" for Biden to use. Sure enough, that's exactly how it played out. Trump brought up Hunter Biden's laptop at the debate in question, and Biden responded by claiming it was Russian disinformation, a claim that was bolstered by the supposed authority of all the intelligence officials who signed the letter.

Whistleblower's claims against Biden could be biggest US scandal ever. Every news outlet in the country, every law enforcement agency with jurisdiction, every appropriate congressional committee, and the full weight of the FBI should be aggressively probing the Biden family's financial records. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) say a credible whistleblower alleges that the FBI and Justice Department have a document with a "precise description" of a "criminal scheme" between a foreign national and then-Vice President Joe Biden involving payment of money for policy decisions. Comer has issued a subpoena for the document, known as an FD-1023 form. Putting it in the vernacular, Comey said the whistleblower is alleging a "bribery scheme." It has been obvious for years now that Biden's son Hunter Biden and brother, Jim, have been trading on the president's name for lucrative foreign business dealings.

Prosecutors Near Decision on Hunter Biden Indictment. Every single conflicting point reconciles, if you accept the Biden program was a one-term disposable effort. The timing is up, now the removal leverage is deployed with enough time to present the branding needed for the Biden replacement. Assets like Susan Rice are pulled from the White House. The Obama embeds position to avoid damage, and the circumstances for Biden's removal are created by the same people who control the collection of the evidence against him. There isn't going to be a Joe Biden DNC nominating convention in Chicago. There isn't going to be another presidential race by Biden; it was never the intention from the outset in the 2020 plan to use him. Biden is in the process of being excommunicated from the party. His usefulness exhausted, this is the disposal phase. The only thing left to negotiate are the terms of the exit.

FBI file shows foreigner paid Biden in 'criminal scheme' to trade money for policy, Republicans say. The FBI has been sitting on a report detailing a scheme involving then-Vice President Joseph R. Biden to accept money in exchange for policy decisions on behalf of a "foreign national," two senior Republicans said Wednesday. Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican, and Rep. James Comer, Kentucky Republican, said their information was "highly credible" and came from whistleblowers who pointed to a confidential human source report that the FBI has had for several years. They did not say when the alleged dealing occurred nor what country was involved.

Biden Begs Bankers for $1 Billion Campaign Infusion. Like the sad corporate slave that he is, Biden's handlers recently sent him, hat in hand, to the multinational banker mafia to beg for an additional $1 billion to complement the cool billion he got handed last time around — in exchange for a solemn promise on his part that "nothing will fundamentally change" once elected president. [...] The "nothing will fundamentally change" pledge hasn't exactly worked out — for normal Americans. Things have changed. The American middle class has been further decimated. Way more illegal aliens are permitted to cross the Southern border with no paper while, at least until the Public Health emergency ends May 11, unvaccinated American citizens still have to perform a PCR test to enter their own country. The list of offenses could go in ad infinitum. Meanwhile, profits of the kind of multinational corporations like Blackrock that Biden is currently begging for money from have been doing just fine — which is what Biden really meant by "nothing will fundamentally change." In what future historians will recognize as the greatest period of wealth transfer possibly in history, Blackrock's assets swelled to record highs during the pandemic while hundreds of thousands of American small businesses went under, never to recover.

Biden Implicated In Bribery Scheme, Grassley And Comer Allege In New Subpoena Demand To FBI. Republicans Sen. Chuck Grassley and Rep. James Comer subpoenaed the FBI on Wednesday for an unclassified document they say alleges a criminal scheme between now-President Joe Biden and a "foreign national" during his years in the Obama White House. The record reportedly details the former vice president's arrangement to receive money in exchange for pushing certain policy positions. The Republicans were only made aware of Biden's potential criminal enterprise because of an unnamed whistleblower. "The information provided by a whistleblower raises concerns that then-Vice President Biden allegedly engaged in a bribery scheme with a foreign national," Comer announced in a press release on Wednesday. "The American people need to know if President Biden sold out the United States of America to make money for himself." As Grassley has repeatedly noted, even though FBI Director Christopher Wray previously promised that whistleblowers like this one would not face punishment, the Biden administration's FBI and Department of Justice have remained unresponsive to congressional requests and inquiries related to the Biden family business.

Sen. Grassley, Rep. Comer Demand FBI Record Alleging 'Criminal Scheme' Involving Then-VP Biden. Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Chuck Grassley and House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer sent letters Wednesday to the FBI, calling on the bureau to produce an unclassified record of an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national. The document in question is an FBI-generated FD-1023 form that allegedly shows an arrangement exchanging money for policy decisions. Comer issued a subpoena Wednesday after "legally protected disclosures" to Grassley's office. "We believe the FBI possesses an unclassified internal document that includes very serious and detailed allegations implicating the current President of the United States. What we don't know is what, if anything, the FBI has done to verify these claims or investigate further. The FBI's recent history of botching politically charged investigations demands close congressional oversight," Grassley said in a statement.

Poll: Donald Trump Leads Joe Biden by 7 Points in Hypothetical Match-Up. Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden by seven points in a hypothetical general election match-up, according to a Rasmussen poll. The poll, commissioned by Political Media and first reported by the Post Millenial, shows that 48 percent of likely voters prefer Trump, while 41 percent back Biden. [...] Moreover, the poll finds Trump's net favorability rating registers at plus 20 points, with 59 percent saying he is favorable, "including 37% with a Very Favorable impression," [...] Conversely, Biden's favorability rating is seven points underwater.

I find it difficult to believe that senile Joe Biden has that much support.

FBI has document alleging pay-to-play scheme involving Joe Biden, lawmakers allege. House and Senate GOP investigators said Wednesday they have learned the FBI possesses a document alleging a pay-to-play bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and have subpoenaed it in an explosive new twist in their long running corruption probe of the first family. Senate Budget Committee ranking member and long-time whistleblower advocate Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said they learned of the document, known as FD-1023, from a whistleblower. "We believe the FBI possesses an unclassified internal document that includes very serious and detailed allegations implicating the current President of the United States," Grassley said. "What we don't know is what, if anything, the FBI has done to verify these claims or investigate further. The FBI's recent history of botching politically charged investigations demands close congressional oversight."

Biden's executive assistant insists she had no idea files she moved from his office contained sensitive information. Then Vice President Joe Biden's former executive assistant Kathy Chung told the House Oversight Committee that she wasn't aware there were any classified documents among the belongings she packed up. CNN reported Wednesday on the contents of Chung's interview to the GOP-led committee, with Chung telling lawmakers she did not notice any documents with classified markings as she unpacked boxes to move Biden into his Penn Biden Center office. Chung testified that she didn't look closely at Biden's belongings, which also included family photos, policy papers and challenge coins, she said.

The old scapegoat "staffer" trick comes into play again. Whenever a powerful Democrat is caught doing something illegal, there's always a "staffer" to take the fall.

Merrick Garland Claims Hunter Biden Tax Probe Not Improperly Politicized After IRS Whistleblower Claims. Attorney General Merrick Garland stood by his claims the Justice Department's probe into Hunter Biden for alleged tax violations has never been improperly politicized within the agency. Hunter is under investigation by the DOJ for tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws. Prosecutor David Weiss for months has been weighing if there is sufficient evidence for the grand jury to indict him on a reported four charges: three tax crimes and one gun crime. As the case appeared to quietly stall, an IRS agent alleged in April the improper politicization of a tax probe into the president's son. The whistleblower alleged two Biden administration political appointees within the DOJ are working to block charges against Hunter for tax violations — against recommendations.

An Iowa Woman Got 1 Year in Jail Plus Probation for Lying On a 4473; What About Hunter Biden? Miracle Star Vaughn, a 27-year-old woman from North Liberty, Iowa, was sentenced last week to serve one year and a day in a federal prison after pleading guilty to making false statements during the purchase of several firearms, according to an ATF press release. Vaughn lied about her drug use on an ATF Form 4473, court documents show. [...] The false statements Vaughn made about her drug use are similar to the false statement Hunter Biden allegedly made on Oct. 12, 2018, when he answered "No" on an ATF Form 4473, when asked "Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?"

Hunter's Collapsing World: Why a Criminal Plea Could Now be the Best Option for the Bidens. This week, Hunter Biden's defense team traveled to Delaware seeking an update on the federal criminal investigation that has dragged on for almost five years. The reason seems clear: Time is running out on Hunter and the Biden family. After years of delaying disclosures and admissions, Hunter could now be pushing to cap off the criminal side of the scandal before more information is released in Arkansas and Washington. For the White House, even a criminal plea is preferred if they can avoid one particular claim — and they may be succeeding. For years, the Bidens have worked (with the media's help) to delay any recognition of the influence peddling and corruption that may be revealed on Hunter Biden's laptop. Even this week, in child support proceedings in Arkansas, Hunter's counsel continued to refuse to admit ownership of the laptop abandoned at The Mac Shop in Wilmington, Del., in April 2019. It won't work any more than his long refusal to acknowledge his fathering of his four-year-old child, Navy.

Truth and consequences: After origins of Biden laptop letter exposed, lawmakers seek penalties. Congress now has compelling evidence that a letter from 51 security experts during the 2020 election falsely portraying the Hunter Biden laptop as a Russian influence operation was in fact Joe Biden campaign propaganda. Now armed with the truth, GOP lawmakers are looking to impose consequences for the organizers and the signatories. Several House and Senate Republicans told Just the News they are looking to impose penalties ranging from possible impeachment of Secretary of State Antony Blinken, whom former CIA Director Mike Morell testified "triggered" the effort, to defunding federal contracts and security clearance for the security and intelligence officials who signed their name to the letter.

GOPers Order Blinken To Turn Over All Communications With Hunter Biden After Emails Show He Lied To Congress. Following revelations that he allegedly lied under oath to Congress, Secretary of State Antony Blinken is facing calls from Senate Republicans to turn over communication records related to Hunter Biden and his shady business engagements. On Monday [5/1/2023], Republican Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Chuck Grassley of Iowa sent a letter to Blinken demanding that he turn over any and all records "referring or relating to Hunter Biden, his business dealings, or his family's business dealings" by May 15. The request comes as part of Senate Republicans' investigation into the Biden family's foreign business ventures.

White House Finally Gets Asked About Biden Disowning His Granddaughter. The White House finally fielded a question about Joe and Jill Biden's penchant for disowning their seventh grandchild. That happened again recently, with Biden proudly proclaiming that he has "six" grandchildren despite it being public knowledge that he has seven. [Tweet] As RedState has reported, the child's mother, Lunden Roberts, has been battling the child's father, Hunter Biden, in an ongoing paternity suit. The president's degenerate son is trying to get his child support payments lowered by claiming he's dead broke. That he's showing up to hearings with one of the most expensive lawyers in the United States isn't lost on anyone paying attention, though, Hunter Biden claims he has no income and that a wealthy friend is funding his lifestyle. You know, because wealthy people typically pay the legal fees and living expenses (including a car) of other people without receiving anything in return.

Blinken Denies Asking For Hunter Biden Laptop Letter. Secretary of State Antony Blinken denies soliciting what became a letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials suggesting the Hunter Biden laptop story could be part of a Russian disinformation operation just weeks before the 2020 election. The topic came up after the GOP-led House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees disclosed portions of a transcribed interview in which former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell talked about putting together the letter following a conversation with Blinken in October 2020. "With regard to that letter, I didn't — it wasn't my idea, didn't ask for it, didn't solicit it," Blinken said during a Monday interview with Fox News. "And I think the testimony that the former deputy director of the CIA, Mike Morrell, put forward confirms that."

Biden Is Guilty Of Child Abuse On A Massive Scale, And Nobody Cares. That was a Washington Post headline from May 2018, one of many such pronouncements in nearly every mainstream news outlet — all decrying these missing children as evidence of the "cruelty" and "inhumanity" of President Donald Trump's border security policies. "It's just wrong. It's wrong," Joe Biden said at one point. "Cruelty is the point. It's their only point." But under President Biden's allegedly more humane border security policies, the federal government has lost track of 85,000 children who crossed the border unaccompanied by their parents. Worse, many of them ended up in the hands of traffickers, not family or friends.

Hunter's Expensive Lawyers Argue That He Is "Too Poor" To Pay Child Support. Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden, is back in the news again as he appeared in an Arkansas court seeking to reduce his monthly child support payments for his four-year-old daughter with ex-stripper Lunden Roberts. However, his expensive lawyers argued that he is "too poor" to continue to pay the current amount of $20,000 per month. During the hearing, the judge criticized Biden's legal team for concealing financial details and ordered them to refile papers. This ongoing legal saga has raised concerns about Hunter's financial situation and the transparency of his affairs, particularly his art sales. Roberts' attorney argued that Hunter had not provided complete answers, including the identities of art buyers and the values of his art pieces. Biden's lawyers claimed that the identities of the buyers were confidential to avoid any political influence-peddling, but the judge suggested that a subpoena could be issued to force the gallery to reveal the names of buyers and prices of the art.

Oh, So That's Who Decided Joe Biden Would Run for Re-Election. There's been much speculation and even more joking about how President Joe Biden seemingly relies on handlers to get him through the rigors of carrying the "leader of the free world" mantle, but new reporting on Monday makes it clear that First Lady Jill Biden is one of the main players when it comes to managing and guiding major strategic decisions that, in the end, are attributed to the president. Specifically, Politico's latest dispatch on First Family intrigue deals with Biden's prerecorded video announcement last week that the commander in chief would run for re-election in 2024, a decision that came after more than a little speculation that he wasn't up to the schedule of a non-COVID campaign or able to slog through another four-year term as an octogenarian should he win re-election. [...] Remember how the mainstream media characterized our 40th President Ronald Reagan, who was just 69 years old when he took office, and speculation about First Lady Nancy Reagan really running the show? Now, apparently, it's endearing and sweet when a First Lady has a voice and a presence in high-level decisions. That role, per Politico's sources, is extensive.

Hunter Biden and his lawyers are ripped into by Arkansas judge for 'sealing and redacting' his financial information. The judge presiding over Hunter Biden's child support trial on Monday ripped into the First Son for 'sealing and redacting' his financial information. 'The ability to redact is somewhat being abused,' Judge Holly Meyer fumed. 'I'm seeing a lot of things filed, especially by Mr. Biden's counsel, sealing things, redacting things, that are not confidential.' She suggested that lawyers for the First Son's baby mama should subpoena a downtown Manhattan art gallery to find out exactly how much he has made from selling his art.

Smirking Hunter Biden arrives at Arkansas court to face off with baby mama Lunden Roberts. Hunter Biden came face to face with his Arkansas baby mama today as his lawyers rejected the notion he was a deadbeat dad and revealed the president's son has contributed $750,000 towards the child's upbringing. Abbe Lowell, Hunter's hotshot DC lawyer, suggested it was the time the world knew how much his client was shelling out for Navy Joan Roberts, the four-year-old daughter he has never bothered to meet. 'Mr. Biden is paying the plaintiff $20,000 a month,' Lowell told the two-hour hearing in Independence County, Arkansas. He later put the total figure at $750,000.

Blinken's, Wife's Emails to Hunter Biden Draw Fresh Scrutiny as Lawmakers Examine His Role in Laptop Cover Story. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's relationship with Hunter Biden is under fresh scrutiny as Republican lawmakers examine his role in trying to discredit the laptop story before the 2020 election. GOP lawmakers recently revealed that former CIA Deputy Director Mike Morell testified that Blinken had reached out to him after the New York Post broke the story, which "triggered" him to spearhead an effort to cast the story as Russian disinformation.

The Crazy Contours of the Crazier 2024 Election. [Does the Left] not appreciate that Biden is one crooked tax-document dump, one Hunter new-old email release, one burned and flipped former crony whistleblower away from special counsel/impeachment territory? Do they not understand that the subtext of the current toxic inclusion of Hunter Biden on Air Force One, the shakedown pay for his nose-brush paintings, his new move into the White House, and his cue-card presence at the side of his bewildered dad are all a sort of implied familial blackmail by a prodigal son who believes he got dirty and decadent enriching the Biden clan — his father especially — and yet was never appreciated for his skullduggery? We are watching a cornered Hunter reclaiming his due as first son. He seeks exemption from the walls-are-closing in law, and wishes to remind the Bidens at any moment he can take them all down with him.

Democrat apparatchiks try to gaslight voters about Biden. There's lots of gaslighting going on in America. The most obvious example, of course, is that we're being told there is no such thing as biological sex. The facts belie that, but even our children are being told to deny the evidence of their own eyes. [...] Democrats are setting up a "narrative" that will allow them to create imaginary votes for Biden to enable him to win in November 2024. If Trump is the candidate, the many investigations, lawsuits, and indictments will be used to say that Biden got more votes because nobody other than the small number of MAGA fanatics could possibly vote for someone as compromised as Trump. Alternatively — and this is where the lies about Biden's physical and mental well-being come into play — if a younger-than-Trump is the candidate, we'll be reminded non-stop that Biden is every bit as vibrant as the Republican opponent, only he also has the experience and insights of his many years in politics and his four years in the White House. When the fake vote counts come in, that narrative will explain why someone younger couldn't beat this dynamic octogenarian. They know they're lying, and they don't care that we conservatives know they're lying. All they need to do is gaslight enough people to explain their win.

Why no one Serious Is Challenging Biden. You sit back and watch President Joe Biden and it's impossible to believe he's on the ball; that he is all there mentally. Granted, with Joe it's always difficult to tell if his gaffes are because of his age and the natural mental deterioration that goes with it, or just his general low intelligence — he was stupid long before he was senile. [...] All of which begs the question: If Biden is so far gone and so wildly unpopular, why haven't any serious Democrats stepped up and challenged him for the 2024 nomination? [...] Biden is wildly unpopular, with a super-majority of his own party telling pollsters they don't want him to run. His reelection kick-off wasn't even an event. Afraid the President of the United States couldn't attract an enthusiastic enough crowd or mentally focus for a kick-off speech, or bring the energy necessary to make it successful, they opted for a heavily edited video.

Biden's Age Is Not the Problem Here! Last month, the Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll found that only 44 percent of registered voters said Biden is "mentally fit to serve as President of the United States." He provided fresh evidence last Thursday at a White House event where a child asked him, "What was the last country you traveled to?" Biden scratched his head and stammered until another youngster gave him his cue: "Ireland!" Biden smiled and the parents laughed, but not everyone finds such episodes amusing. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) served as White House physician to Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump and wants Biden to take a cognitive exam. Fox News has a copy of the letter he is circulating for signatures.

Sleepy Joe And The Thirty-Hour Work Week. So much responsibility lies ahead for Sleepy Joe Biden that the "president"'s advisors are already concerned about his 2024 re-election campaign. Yep. They are just now having this revelation. Who [...] puts these people in charge, anyway? According to this from TownHall, the 80-year-old's advisors are weary that he is mentally and physically up for the job — something he can barely do now.

Hunter Forced to Appear in Arkansas in Fight Over His Child's Name and Support. On Monday, Hunter Biden will finally make it to Arkansas. The Natural State is not a Biden family favorite but there is one thing that would ordinarily be an attraction: Biden's daughter Navy Joan. In the Biden family, the four-year-old girl remains "she who must not be named" literally. Not only has President Biden refused to refer to her as a grandchild or even include a Christmas stocking with the other children, her father Hunter is fighting to prevent her from using the Biden name. Indeed, the only reason that Hunter is coming to the same state with his daughter is to seek to limit his child support. The viciousness of the Biden family in dealing with this little girl is only matched by that of the media. Reporters who profess to support women and denounce deadbeat dads have either ignored this story or belittled her mother, Lunden Roberts. Roberts is widely dismissed as a "former stripper." That appears how she met Hunter, but it is often used to paint her in the same way that the media gleefully reported Hillary Clinton denouncing women involved with her husband as mere "bimbo eruptions."

Comer Raises Alarm About Biden Team and Possible Intimidation of Witnesses, 'They Fear for Their Lives'. Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chair of the House Oversight Committee and the one who has been heading up the investigation into the Biden family financial scandals, had some more concerning bombshells to drop about how the investigation has been going. He indicated that he thought witnesses were being intimidated. Comer said in a new Fox News appearance that they knew that Hunter Biden's legal team has spoken to some of the people the Committee was speaking with. He also said that they knew Hunter Biden's legal team had reached out and communicated with some of the people and institutions that the Committee has subpoenaed. [Tweet]

Democrats Are The Nigerian Princes Of American Politics. [Scroll down] There's perhaps no better example than Joe Biden. The man is a congenital liar. Plagiarism has been a problem since he was in college and was actually the reason he withdrew from his first presidential campaign. Indeed, Biden is a lying machine! He claimed to have gone to college on a full scholarship, earned three degrees, and graduated in the top of his class. All lies. Biden's career of lies only became more consequential and destructive when he ran for president in 2020. Every campaign is full of hyperbole like "I'm going to cut taxes" or "I'll be the education president." But with Biden, the lies went far beyond white lies. He told the American people that his son Hunter's laptop was Russian propaganda and that he never discussed business with his son. Perhaps most depressingly of all, once he became president, he went on TV and told the country that "White supremacists" are the most dangerous threat to the nation. All lies.

Hunter Biden's Ex-Mistress Wants to Know Who's Paying His 'Stable of American Super Lawyers'. Hunter Biden's ex-mistress Lunden Alexa Roberts is asking a court to force the president's son to disclose who is paying for his "stable of American super lawyers," arguing that his high-priced legal team contradicts his claim that he can't afford to pay child support. Biden has retained "some of the most expensive attorneys on planet Earth," according to a motion filed by Roberts in an Arkansas court on Thursday, including former Arkansas attorney general Dustin McDaniel, prominent Washington fixer Abbe Lowell, and Hollywood celebrity lawyer Kevin Morris. "If Mr. Biden can afford a Washington DC, Hollywood, Chicago big law, and the best domestic relations attorney on the Texas side of the Texarkana border, he surely must have income for child support purposes," wrote Roberts's attorney Clint Lancaster in the filing.

Is Integrity Dead? In Joe Biden's inaugural speech, he said repeatedly that he wanted to "unify the country." Biden continues to say he wants to unify the country, but his actions say otherwise. If Biden was sincere in wanting to unify the country, he would not have signed 99% of the Executive Orders he has signed since taking office in January 2021. In Biden's case, it isn't just his actions that don't match his words. His choice of words and continual belittling of patriotic and God-fearing Americans also demonstrate a complete lack of truth in anything he says or does, thereby, exposing his stated goal to unify America as a complete lie. It is hard to know if he is just practicing a basic tenet of communism — if you repeat the lie often enough, people will start to believe it — or if he is so narcissistic and demented that he actually believes his own rhetoric. I don't know about you, but I do not like to be lied to or gaslighted. I also don't like to do business with unethical and dishonest people.

Biden Will Be Running on His Record This Time. Joe Biden announced his candidacy in an early-morning video release, because he wasn't capable of doing it live — and we all know it. That's how horrible of a candidate he is. Joe certainly isn't the worst the Dems could put forward, but that's a testament to how bad their choices are, not how good Joe is. Granted, Biden took (and I do mean took) the office from Trump in 2020. But 2024 will not be 2020. Joe was hauled into the Oval Office by deception and gaming the system, not by winning the contest of ideas. The propaganda ministry sold him as a seasoned, kindly statesman, who would return professionalism to the office. The ministry was assisted by a swamp that leveraged a pandemic for election changes — which have since been found unconstitutional. I doubt that strategy will work again.

8 House Republicans vote in favor of the Chinese Communist Party. Just yesterday Breitbart News reported that eight House Republicans joined the Democrats to support Joe Biden's suspension of United States tariffs on suspected Chinese-manufactured solar panels. [...] Biden being soft on China should come not to be a surprise to anyone. The president of the watchdog Government Accountability Institute, Peter Schweizer, revealed that in 2013 Hunter and Joe flew on Air Force Two to China two weeks before Hunter's firm inked a $1.5 billion deal with the CCP operated Bank of China. Schweizer exposed numerous lucrative shady deals that benefited the Biden family and Hunter's businesses, where Joe appeared to have a ten percent stake in a company formed in partnership with top CCP officials. We must also remember that Joe Biden's Washington think tank, the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, received more than $54 million from individuals or entities linked to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) from 2014 to 2019. It would not be beyond the realm of possibility that the attempt to waive tariffs happened with Biden's knowledge that solar panels were made in China but were re-routed to other countries to evade tariffs.

Joe Biden is the Potemkin President, In Office But Not In Power. Joe Biden's poor personal performance is a feature, rather than a bug of his presidency. This fact is one of the critical reasons why the current U.S. government can justly be described as a "regime," rather than an "administration," observed National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam in conversation with MAGA-world TV host Kimberly Guilfoyle. Speaking to Guilfoyle — a former prosecutor and the fiancée of Donald Trump Jr. — Kassam offered his analysis during a discussion of Biden's increasingly "embarrassing" behavior; losing his way on stage and requiring cheat sheets with advance notice of the questions the press plan to put to him. [Video clip]

Five Big Favors Biden Has Done for His Commie Sugar Daddies in Beijing. Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the master-blaster of the House Oversight Committee, claims as many as 12 members of the Biden crime family have snuggled up to the udder on the Chinese communist cash cow. Comer claims the committee has found a bumper crop of wire transfers from Chinese pinkos that were sent to a friend of Hunter Biden's named "Walker" and thence on to various Biden bank accounts. "There's not going to be anybody left for a Christmas picture if the [Department of Justice] did their job and went in there and indicted everyone that has any type of fingerprints involved in this influence-peddling scheme," Comer joked to Fox News' Maria Bartiromo. "I mean, it's the entire family, and there isn't a single one of those family members that had the ability to do anything to influence foreign policy other than the big guy, Joe Biden."

Biden's Handlers Trot Him Out for 12 Minutes Today Before He Shuffles Away. Biden's handlers trotted old Joe out for 12 minutes on Friday to present the Commander-in-Chief's trophy to the Air Force Falcons. Joe Biden spent nearly one hour mingling with children on Thursday. He was salivating over the children and called little girls "baby." But he can't even be bothered with Air Force athletes. Biden shuffled away after spending 12 minutes with the Air Force Falcons.

Despite claiming American children are collectively owned, Biden still won't claim Hunter Biden's love child as his kin. President Joe Biden came under fire from concerned parents earlier this week after he suggested that "our nation's children are all our children," stressing that there is "no such thing as someone else's child." While — per the president's suggestion — the 4-year-old child Hunter Biden sired out of wedlock may belong to the nation, apparently she is not welcome in the Biden clan.

What really makes me angry about the Hunter Biden stories. Hunter Biden has a soul that is as black as a moonless night, and a character as disgusting as a rotting corpse. He is worse than scum. [Tweet] This is a man who has scammed millions from foreign companies, peddled influence for decades, corrupted our government, commanded the loyal service of government law enforcement and our nation's intelligence services to cover for his misdeeds, and he is actually trying to reduce his child support payments to his illegitimate and unacknowledged daughter by claiming he is "unemployed." [Tweet] "Unemployed?" Under normal circumstances, a human-trafficking crackhead would be unemployable, but this is a man who sells his paintings for hundreds of thousands of dollars to anonymous buyers who are still purchasing influence from a man who regularly travels with the President of the United States. [...] Currently, Biden is vacationing at the home of a billionaire donor to his father while simultaneously pleading poverty. His tax obligations were paid for by a different big donor to the president when he was in deep hock to the agency and under legal threat. This man is a walking scandal-generating train wreck.

Press Notice Biden Is Really Old and Lazy, White House Angrily Responds. A new report is shedding more light on one of Biden's biggest liabilities as he heads into his coronation as the 2024 Democratic Party presidential nominee. According to Axios, the president's age and subsequent laziness have become a campaign issue for voters, and it's something the White House is having a tough time covering up. That's exacerbated by the fact that their attempts to hide Biden only highlight the issue further. [...] The more they try to cover for Biden, the more they advertise that his mental and physical decline is real. For context, the report lays out just how rare it is to see Biden in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends.

The Times Says Senility Is A-OK. Democrats have mostly given up on denying that Joe Biden is suffering from an advanced stage of dementia. Their strategy, as exemplified by their mouthpiece the New York Times, has shifted to a defense of senility. Do we need a mentally competent president? Nah. This morning's Times email, which is curated by David Leonhardt, the Times's "senior writer" who writes for "The Times's flagship daily newsletter," said this morning: ["]Strange as it may sound, the American government can function without a healthy president.["] Hey, Edith Wilson did a great job! [...] Watch for the next great cover-up, as the press pretends not to notice that Biden is in hiding, and will remain in hiding until November 2024.

The Catholic holding a rosary will be the abortion candidate. Yes, the moderate will take communion at Sunday's mass and then call any restriction on abortion another example of the MAGAs denying women health-care options. Biden is hoping that the GOP can not get its act together on abortion. In other words, the Democrats want to run against 1849 abortion bans as happened in Wisconsin. So the pressure is on Republicans majority legislatures, such as Wisconsin, to come up with 2023 abortion laws that create exceptions for rape or incest but deny abortion after 12 or 15 weeks. In other words, force Democrats to explain their votes for late-terms abortions. In the meantime, the moderate, the Catholic with the rosary, will do nothing but talk about abortion. It's up to the GOP to get ready and fight back because the moderate will call you a scary MAGA type if you support the slightest restrictions on abortions.

Biden caught with crib notes detailing reporter's question prior to calling on her during press conference. President Biden is no stranger to detailed cheat sheets when speaking to the press, but the president's team seems to have taken things up a notch after he revealed a pre-written question from a reporter during Wednesday's press conference. As Biden spoke alongside South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol in the White House Rose Garden, a photographer captured a small cheat-sheet in the president's hand signaling he had advanced knowledge of a question from Los Angeles Times journalist Courtney Subramanian. The small paper also included a picture of the reporter along with the pronunciation breakdown of her last name. "Question #1" was handwritten at the top of the sheet, indicating the president should call on her first at the conclusion of his remarks.

Biden cheat sheet shows he had advance knowledge of journalist's question. A cheat sheet held by President Biden during a Wednesday press conference revealed that the 80-year-old commander in chief had advance knowledge of a question from a journalist. "How are YOU squaring YOUR domestic priorities — like reshoring semiconductors manufacturing — with alliance-based foreign policy?" read a question from Los Angeles Times reporter Courtney Subramanian. The revelation came during a joint press conference with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol that discussed growing nuclear threats from North Korea — as the nations celebrate the 70th anniversary of their alliance. Another cheat sheet showed the names of other Biden administration officials to relay the order remarks would be delivered at the press conference.

'Finish the Job' Sounds More Like A Threat Than A Promise. Now that Joe Biden has announced his plans to run for reelection, the question that must be weighing on the minds of Democratic Party officials is "Can he possibly win without COVID?" They must know that without the pandemic, Biden had no chance of defeating Donald Trump in 2020. When he announced his candidacy exactly four years ago, the economy was booming and optimism was rising. Trump's approval rating was edging upward. The only reason he had for running, he said, was because Trump was a racist. Then COVID happened. And it let the already enfeebled Biden avoid a grueling national campaign. It let him pin every death on Trump. It gave him the chance to promise something bold. Now, four years later, Biden is far more mentally and physically incapacitated and he can't hide out in his basement. His reason for being reelected — "to finish the job" — sounds more like a threat than a promise.

Biden's 2024 Announcement Is Full of Lies. Early on Tuesday morning, President Joe Biden launched his 2024 re-election bid via a three-minute video posted across social media. Like his gaffe-filled presidential speeches, the campaign clip is riddled with false claims about Biden's political opponents.

Was That a Biden 2024 Campaign Launch or a Drunk Hostage Video? Joseph Robinette Biden is giving it a go and — despite so much speculation to the contrary — he's dragging Kamala Harris along with him. It's like being given the A Clockwork Orange treatment and having your eyes propped open while being forced to watch a sequel to a movie you never wanted to see in the first place. [...] The 800 lb Democrat donkey in the room is the fact that Biden is significantly less functional in public than he was in 2020. [Indeed], he's less functional than he was on St. Patrick's Day this year. If he were a regular citizen and spoke to the cops in the voice he uses in the video, he'd be given a field sobriety test, then a ride home when the shocked officers discovered that he was sober. The first word he says on camera in the video is "freedom," and he somehow misses the "d" completely. Biden's next turn during his seven-second cameo on camera is when he barfs out the "magger extremists" line, which was also nigh on unintelligible.

Biden Lies About Being Born in Same Hospital as His Grandfather Died. President Joe Biden on Tuesday lied about his birth by falsely claiming he was born in the same hospital where his grandfather died just two weeks prior. While speaking at North America's Building Trades Unions Legislative Conference at the Washington Hilton, Biden lied about his birth — one of many lies throughout the years.

Four More Years? Not If We Can Help It. Four more years is all Presidentish Joe Biden needs to "finish this job" he started on the nation in 2021. "I know we can," he concluded in his pre-recorded re-election announcement video on Tuesday. A pre-recorded announcement? When someone announces they're running for president, it's a massive public event featuring the biggest and most enthusiastic crowd the candidate can muster. When it's a sitting president, the pageantry and the crowds are practically built in. But not for Doddering Joe, whose people had to trickle out a video because they can't trust their man to draw a crowd, not to screw it all up, or wander the wrong direction off the stage at the end. [...] In the video — I still can't believe I'm writing about a pre-recorded re-election announcement — Biden bragged he'd helped "to defend democracy" and "stand up for our personal freedoms." Defending democracy, it seems, involves using former intelligence community bigwigs to bury the "laptop from hell" story about his own son to rig the 2020 election. The man who led that effort, Antony Blinken, then got himself a cushy job as Biden's Secretary of State.

Biden His Time? It is hard to believe Joe Biden can possibly go through with this. He is no longer capable of doing a live press conference, and couldn't even manage a live re-election announcement. National Review reminds us that in 2019 Biden apparently told confidantes that he'd be a one-term president, that it was "inconceivable" that he'd run again in 2024. So what's behind this? And why so early? [...] If Biden waited much longer, the chance of more potential Democratic challengers would grow every day, along with speculation that Biden wasn't going to go through with it. Right now his only real challenger (forget Maryanne Williamson) is Robert F. Kennedy Jr, and he is showing surprising strength and agility one week in. The Rasmussen poll below is from two weeks ago, but shows that half of Democrats are open to a candidate other than Biden, including RFK Jr.

Hunter Biden hides away at Joe Kiani's $50M California vineyard amid his brewing criminal probes. A billionaire Democrat donor, sheltering Hunter Biden amid the brewing storm of his criminal probe, received multi-million-dollar federal contracts and offered a $93,000 job to the President's niece, records reveal. Hunter Biden has been spotted hiding away at a $50 million Santa Ynez, California vineyard estate owned by Joe Kiani, a top donor to his father's campaigns — contrary to recent reports he was camping out at the White House ahead of a pivotal meeting between his lawyers and federal prosecutors probing his business dealings. It is not the first time Kiani, described by Joe Biden in 2018 as 'one of my closest friends', has offered shelter to a troubled Biden family member.

Report Suggests Hunter Biden Is Living at the White House for a Nefarious Reason. [Scroll down] Lunden Roberts is seeking to have Hunter Biden jailed because he's ignored court orders on discovery. She's currently fighting the president's son in court to secure proper financial assistance for their daughter. For his part, Hunter Biden has sought to have the payments reduced even more because he's a disgusting deadbeat. While it's not a certainty yet, Hunter Biden hanging around the White House and his father to avoid the wrath of an Arkansas court makes a lot of sense. no one needing to serve papers is doing to get close to the presidential detail, and local law enforcement officials are likely powerless to do anything to Hunter Biden as long as he's in his father's orbit. That leaves the judge involved in the case having to decide whether he wants to push the envelope or not. Even regarding the DOJ investigation, Hunter Biden being at the White House serves as a protection racket. Not only does it constantly serve as a reminder that he's above the law and not to be messed with, but it ensures that Hunter Biden won't be arrested unannounced in the middle of the night.

Biden Makes Creepy Statement About 'Our Children'. Speaking during a teachers event in the Rose Garden at the White House Monday afternoon, President Joe Biden claimed America's children don't belong to their parents, but instead to society as a whole. [Tweet] The comment received swift backlash, especially from parents leading the parental rights and school choice movements. [Many more tweets.]

6 Reasons The IRS Whistleblower Will Blow Open DOJ's Biden Family Protection Racket. An Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblower hinted to congressional leaders last week that the FBI improperly blocked aspects of the Hunter Biden investigation and that Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys blocked an indictment against the president's son on tax charges. The carefully worded letter also indicated Attorney General Merrick Garland had testified inaccurately when he told the Senate Judiciary Committee that the Trump-appointed Delaware U.S. attorney had the authority to file charges against Hunter Biden in other jurisdictions. Here are six reasons this whistleblower should terrify those behind the DOJ's Biden family protection racket. [#1] [...] The whistleblower's attorney, Mark Lytle, reportedly maintains his client can "identify contemporaneous witnesses to corroborate his claims of political interference." The whistleblower will "be able to talk about these meetings that he attended, that were with both agents and prosecutors ... and how he summarized those meetings and put it in writing and distributed those to folks within the IRS and sometimes other agents," Lytle claims, adding that those contemporaneous memoranda and emails will "end up corroborating his credibility."

Appointment in Chicago — Democrats and Destiny. Today, we all know the truth. No amount of censorship or tweaking at Twitter, Facebook, or Google can hide the amazing amount of hard evidence of Biden family corruption and Joe Biden's personal mental disintegration. From the computer of Hunter Biden and other sources, we know China and Ukraine have both invested in the Biden family. This cannot be hidden any longer. Similarly, Biden's own personal decline cannot be hidden. Despite the strained efforts of the main media. Biden rarely has a real workday, is unable to take two consecutive office appointments, is almost always on vacation or taking some down-time. There are two central truths about Biden:
• The man who cannot complete a sentence without lying is now the man who cannot complete a sentence.
• The man who cannot go a day without lying is now someone who cannot go a day without lying down.
For Joe Biden, the signs of mental decline are clear, even for an idiot. So are the signs of overmedication.

Biden's sprawling family corruption makes for comic book villainy. Eyes are the window into a man's soul, which is why President Biden always wears dark sunglasses. Dark, impenetrable glasses. The kind favored by daring aviators battling the harshest glare high above the clouds. And bank robbers. Mr. Biden has never served in the military. Or flown a plane. In fact, he has no known marketable skills, which is why he has devoted his life to a career in politics. That career choice — along with a schoolteacher's government salary — has made the Biden family millionaires many times over. Mr. Biden's publicity team casts the aviator glasses as a sign of how hip and cool the 80-year-old is. But there is nothing hip or cool about a guy who needs to be rescued by the Easter Bunny at an egg roll on the South Lawn of the White House. Or a guy who can take questions only from children in a foreign country — and still gets stumped. His publicity team peddles this comic fantasy that the aviator glasses are like some sort of cape that makes Mr. Biden some sort of superhero. But the comic tale story quickly falls apart after that.

GOP Investigator Suspects Biden Family Dozen Part Of 'Influence Peddling Scheme'. At least a dozen members of President Joe Biden's family may be taking part in an "influence peddling scheme," a leading Republican investigator said on Sunday [4/23/2023]. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) shared on Fox News some takeaways from a visit last week to the Treasury Department, where he said members viewed "thousands of pages of documents" concerning the Bidens. "I can tell you that there were more suspicious activity reports than had been previously reported, and many more Biden family members that were involved in the influence peddling scheme," he told anchor Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures." So far, Comer says nine Bidens are tied to shady business dealings uncovered by his panel. But, he predicted, "in the end, that number will be at least 12."

Whistleblower Points To Biden Admin Obstructing Hunter Biden Tax Probe. Did Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys in California and Washington, D.C., block the filing of criminal tax charges against Hunter Biden? Accusations levied by an IRS whistleblower on Wednesday suggest the federal prosecutors did just that, contradicting Attorney General Merrick Garland's recent congressional testimony and raising an avalanche of questions concerning the independence of the Delaware U.S. attorney's office overseeing the Hunter Biden investigation. Given the severity of the claims, the U.S. attorney should speak up immediately. A cryptic letter sent to a slew of congressional committee chairs on Wednesday revealed an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblower's claims of political interference in the criminal investigation of a high-profile, politically connected individual. While the letter omitted the specific details the whistleblower sought to present to the oversight committees, unnamed sources reportedly confirmed the criminal case concerned Hunter Biden; they also revealed several more scandalous claims.

IRS and FBI Finished Hunter Biden Investigation More Than a Year Ago. The context for the IRS whistleblower case of political interference in the Hunter Biden investigation gains a significant amount of context with this new revelation. According to NBC reporting the FBI investigation of Hunter Biden concluded a year ago, and the IRS investigation "completed more than a year ago." If the IRS and FBI completed their investigation, then where are the charges? Now the 'whistleblower claims' start to make sense.

All the President's Relatives. Harken back to 20 January 2021 when the doddering fool who occupies the Bully Pulpit was inaugurated. He appointed Nicholas McQuaid, a White House lawyer during the Obama presidency, as Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General and Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division. Why should we care? McQuaid was a colleague of Chris Clark, the lawyer Hunter Biden hired in December 2020 to assist with his federal tax problems. A month later Joe Biden appointed McQuaid to oversee the agency that began its investigation of Hunter's tax situation in 2018. Does Joe's timing look suspicious? Do you think McQuaid influenced the Hunter Biden tax investigation? Why revisit this issue? Because it has become current.

Antony Blinken and the 'made men' of the Biden administration. Secretary of State Antony Blinken would really, really prefer to talk about grain in Ukraine this week. But many people are less interested in what Blinken is doing as secretary of state than in what he did to become secretary of state. This week, Blinken was implicated in a political coverup that could well have made the difference in the 2020 election. According to the sworn testimony of former acting CIA Director Michael Morrell, Blinken — then a high-ranking Biden campaign official — was "the impetus" of the false claim that the Hunter Biden laptop story was really Russian disinformation. Morrell then organized dozens of ex-national security officials to sign the letter claiming that the Hunter laptop story had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

Did a 21-year-old air guardsman expose Biden's violation of the War Powers Act? Last week, the mainstream media gleefully reported the arrest of a low-ranking, 21-year-old Air National Guardsman from Massachusetts named Jack Teixeira, who apparently, on an internet chat site, divulged state secrets in violation of the Espionage Act and embarrassed the Biden administration. [...] Among the information spilled are revelations of the Biden administration spying on friends and foes alike. But bigger questions surround this case, hot-potato questions the media won't touch, with the hottest being this: Do the Teixeira revelations expose a violation of the War Powers Act by Biden? But most disturbing, are claims of United States Special Forces inside the red-hot Ukrainian war zone, months after Biden boasted there will be "no boots on the ground," a boast perhaps as credible as his blathering that "if you take the vax, you won't get COVID." If United States Special Forces advisors are on the ground, in the midst of a kinetic war, supporting Ukraine's military against Russia, not only do Americans have a right to know, as major wars have been ignited by the slightest of hair triggers, but a larger question must now be examined: Has Joe Biden violated the War Powers Act?

Ignoring Hunter Revelations, PBS Hypes Biden 2024: No 'Big Scandals'. The weekly table discussion on PBS NewsHour between Washington Post Associate Editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks spent some time on Friday discussing President Biden's upcoming re-election campaign. Ignoring all the week's developments surrounding Hunter, Brooks claimed Biden's in a good spot, "There hasn't been any obvious gaffes, big scandals or anything like that." Guest host Geoff Bennett also thought Biden is well positioned for 2024, "President Biden's allies say the fact that he's facing only token primary opposition from author Marianne Williamson and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. really is a show of strength for him."

Harriet Hageman Blasts Spy Letter Discrediting Hunter Biden Laptop Story: 'Coverup Was Starting'. Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) told Breitbart News Saturday that the 2020 spy letter allegedly organized by the Biden campaign to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story was the beginning of the coverup. "When this came out in October [of 2020], anybody with a lick of sense out in the rest of the United States knew number one, that the letter from the 51 so-called intelligence officials was wrong. We knew it," Hageman said. On Thursday, news broke that former Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell testified to Republican investigators that current Secretary of State Antony Blinken — formerly a Biden campaign official — had contacted Morell regarding the New York Post's Hunter laptop story, which "set in motion the events that led to the issuance of a public statement" by 51 former intelligence officials who discredited the story as Russian disinformation.

Hunter Biden laptop letter was the real disinformation all along. The dishonor of our intelligence community, and most of the media, is now complete. It turns out the "51 intel experts" letter implying Hunter Biden's 100% authentic laptop was a Russian fake, and the ensuing efforts to kill Post reporting on it, were the actual disinfo operation. Veteran spook and former acting CIA Director Mike Morrell masterminded it, as he swore under oath, to "help Vice President Biden ... because I wanted him to win the election" — at the behest of campaign flunky (now Secretary of State) Antony Blinken. And Morell plainly also did it in hopes a victorious Biden would hand him the top CIA job. Not only was there no intricate Russian plot, there was never any evidence suggesting one — only a Biden campaign conspiracy to bury the truth under a tissue of lies.

Spy letter about Hunter Biden shows how Dems are undermining democracy. In the closing address at last month's Summit for Democracy, Secretary of State Antony Blinken piously proclaimed, "As President Biden has said, democracy doesn't happen by accident. "It requires constant effort." Or in the case of the 2020 election, it required deceiving American voters. The House Judiciary Committee revealed that Blinken, then a top Biden adviser, orchestrated the letter from 51 top intelligence officials claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop was nothing but a Russian disinformation campaign. Blinken contacted former acting CIA chief Mike Morell, who swayed scores of other former top officials — including three ex-CIA chiefs — to sign that letter to debunk the biggest threat to the Biden presidential campaign.

The Biden administration's attack on free speech. There are two things to remember. First, America is not at war with Russia. Congress has not declared war against Russia, nor has the Biden administration pretended that it has. Russia may be a geopolitical enemy, but it's not a wartime enemy. Second, as Tucker and Glenn Greenwald discussed, violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act have routinely been treated as minor problems, with fines as the primary punishment. For the government to go after penny-ante black socialist organizations that are saying exactly what others who oppose the war have been saying represents an escalation against speech unseen in modern America. It has the smell of a totalitarian political regime cracking down on speech that offends it. This is especially true when you consider the leeway the administration gives to Chinese control over speech, via TikTok. China, after all, is another geopolitical opponent. It's also revolting when you consider the information coming out about the Biden family's profiting from China, Ukraine, and other countries at America's expense.

Two Top Republicans Say Blinken Should Be Impeached Over Biden Laptop Role, Good Luck Making That Happen. Former CIA Director Mike Morell has told the House Judiciary Committee that it was Secretary of State Antony (with no "h") Blinken who, while acting as a senior campaign adviser for Joe Biden, enlisted him to organize the letter from former intelligence officials labeling the material from Hunter Biden's laptop Russian dezinformatsiya. According to an exclusive in the New York Post, Morell had no intention of writing a letter or soliciting others to either write or sign a letter plainly lying about Hunter Biden's laptop until Blinken put the thought in his minds. [...] This is a significant revelation from several standpoints. First and foremost, it shows that the Biden campaign did not believe Hunter's laptop was a Russian plant. Second, it shows the people who signed the letter were bad-faith actors who knew the Russian disinformation story was bogus but set about to deceive the American people for political purposes. As an aside, the lack of qualms by any of the signers indicates that they were used to lying to America to push their own agenda; this is something the next GOP president should keep in mind. Most concerning is that the prime mover behind the story, Antony Blinken, was made Secretary of State.

House Judiciary Committee Releases Evidence of U.S. Intelligence Community Conducting Domestic Political Disinformation Campaign. The House Judiciary Committee has released evidence, gained from a transcribed interview with former Acting CIA Director Mike Morell, showing a coordinated plan by former and current Intelligence Community officials (both parties) to work with the political campaign of Joe Biden in order to influence the 2020 election outcome. Within the transcribed interview, Mike Morell admits to receiving a phone call from current Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, with a request to create disinformation and protect Joe Biden from scrutiny over the Hunter Biden laptop revelations. Morell then coordinated with 50 intelligence officials to fabricate a claim that Russians had created the Biden laptop story as a disinformation campaign. The reality was that Morell organized the U.S. intelligence community to create disinformation on behalf of Joe Biden.

Blinken engaged in the worst sort of lying politics. As most people know by now, an IRS supervisor has told lawmakers he has information that the Biden administration is improperly handling the criminal investigation into President Biden's son Hunter and this IRS supervisor is seeking whistleblower protection, probably from Chairman Jason Smith's Ways and Means Committee since it's a tax matter, or so we think. The whistleblower also claims to have information that would contradict sworn testimony by "a senior political appointee" who allegedly provided "preferential treatment" for Hunter Biden. Now, many people believe that senior official is Attorney General Merrick Garland, who it has been alleged has told Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys in different parts of the country not to cooperate with the U.S. attorney in Delaware, David Weiss. As we know, the Delaware grand jury has been going on for five years, presumably investigating an illegal gun rap and some kind of tax evasion offenses. This stuff should've been settled in 10 minutes.

Two key Republicans call for Secretary of State Blinken to resign over Hunter Biden revelations. Two high-profile Republicans who have probed the Biden family scandal are calling on Secretary of State Antony Blinken to resign or face impeachment over allegations he helped trigger an intelligence community letter during the 2020 election that falsely portrayed Hunter Biden's laptop contents as Russian disinformation. The rebukes of Blinken by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) came after the release Thursday night of testimony from former CIA chief Michael Morell that Blinken had spurred him to organize the now-infamous October 2020 letter to benefit the Biden campaign. Morell testified he agreed to do so because Blinken reached out to him and he wanted to influence the election in Joe Biden's favor. "This, in my opinion, probably disqualifies him to serve as the Secretary of State," Biggs told Just the News in a wide-ranging interview Friday on the John Solomon Reports podcast. "And I know people keep saying, 'Andy, you want to impeach everybody?' Well, you know, Tony Blinken probably should be impeached, just like [Homeland Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas should be impeached.

50 ways to protect our Joe? Remember that letter that hit the front pages about Russia disinformation and the Hunter Biden laptop? It was signed by 50 intelligence experts and now we are learning that it was a bit fishy. Could it be that the whole thing was set up to find 50 to protect the presidential candidate before the second debate? [...] The issue here is that a letter was signed giving credibility to Biden's message that the whole thing was disinformation. That smells bad and every one of the 50 should be brought before the Congress to explain their signature.

State Department Dodges Questions on Blinken Discrediting Hunter Biden Laptop Story Ahead of 2020. The State Department refused to comment on whether Secretary of State Antony Blinken disputed Republicans' assertions that as a senior adviser to the 2020 Biden presidential campaign he was involved in recruiting former intelligence officials in an effort to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the election. When asked specifically if Blinken disputed the accuracy of the assertions and if he planned to comply with Republican lawmakers' request for more information, State Department Deputy Press Secretary Vedant Patel responded, "That is not a State Department issue, so I don't have a comment for you on that."

Prosecutors Consider Four Charges Against Hunter Biden. According to two sources familiar with the matter, federal prosecutors have been contemplating filing charges against Hunter Biden, including three tax-related crimes and one charge linked to a gun purchase. The proposed charges consist of two misdemeanors for not filing taxes and one felony charge of tax evasion, which pertains to a business expenditure and covers a single year of taxes. Additionally, a potential felony charge is being considered for the gun-related offense.

Hunter Biden Lawyer Freaks out About the Whistleblower, Says Too Much in the Process. As RedState reported, a whistleblower from within the IRS criminal division came forward on Thursday to allege that the investigation into Hunter Biden's probable criminality was being obstructed for political reasons. The person in question didn't just bring idle claims either. According to the whistleblower's lawyer, they not only have proof of scandalous misconduct, but they also have documented evidence that AG Merrick Garland committed perjury in furtherance of a cover-up. Ironically, instead of shutting up, Hunter Biden's lawyer is now freaking out over the matter. On Friday, he asserted that the whistleblower likely committed crimes in coming forward despite the fact that whistleblowers are supposed to be given governmental protection.

IRS Commissioner Dumbfounded by Hunter Biden Whistleblower Accusations, Has No Answer for Senator in Closed-Door Meeting. IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel was dumbfounded in a Thursday closed-door Senate Finance Committee meeting about IRS whistleblower complaints that contend two Biden administration political appointees within the Justice Department have blocked charges against Hunter Biden for tax violations, a source familiar with the meeting told Breitbart News. Commissioner Werfel, who was placed as the head of the IRS by President Joe Biden, had no answer for Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) when she questioned him about the whistleblower's bombshell allegations.

Hunter Biden's baby mama Lunden Roberts demands the president's son be thrown in Arkansas jail for refusing to hand over his financial records. Hunter Biden's baby mamma has urged an Arkansas judge to sling the President's son in jail for repeatedly failing to hand over his financial records, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. Lawyers for Lunden Roberts say former flame Hunter, 53, has not provided 'a single item or word of discovery' in their ongoing child support lawsuit. In a Friday filing they insist the recovering drug addict should be locked up at the Cleburne County Detention Center and stay there until he complies with a court order to hand over the docs.

More evidence that Biden will not be allowed to run for re-election in 2024. Now that we live in a political system run by the shadowy figures, we have to look to indirect indicators of what is really going on among our rulers. The people who decided that since Bernie Sanders would lose to Donald Trump in 2020, they would install dementia-afflicted three-time presidential loser Joe Biden as the Democrats' nominee, and manipulate election law to ensure that he was elected, signal to their media lackeys what their priorities are. [...] There is strong evidence that a decision has been made to ensure Biden does not run in 2024. Up until now, a vow of omertà (silence) has been the guiding principle for handling news of Hunter Biden's criminality and the implication of his father in the scandals. The disgraceful dismissal and censorship of news of his laptop is still a vivid memory. But yesterday, the Wall Street Journal ran an exclusive story about an IRS whistleblower who said that their probe is being mishandled. This is potentially explosive news. But instead of receiving the Laptop from Hell treatment, the exclusive story was widely picked up by corporate media.

White House Deflects Allegations of Hunter Biden Tax Probe Interference, Says DOJ Is Independent. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday deflected allegations that the Biden administration interfered in an ongoing probe into Hunter Biden's potential tax violations. "The president has always been clear during the campaign, during his presidency that the Department of Justice should have independence; they should not be politicized," Jean-Pierre said during a White House press briefing. "And they should be able to do their job independently, essentially." "The president respects the rule of law and the independence of the Department of Justice," she added. Hunter is under investigation by the DOJ for tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws. For months, Trump-appointed U.S. prosecutor David Weiss has been weighing if there is sufficient evidence for the grand jury to indict him. But no charges have been forthcoming.

IRS whistleblower is 'not a political person,' has documents to support Hunter Biden allegations: attorney. The lawyer for the IRS whistleblower alleging the Biden administration is mishandling the federal investigation into Hunter Biden told Fox News on Thursday that his client is "not a political person" and does not have a "political agenda," but does have documents to support his allegations that he hopes to bring to both congressional Democrats and Republicans. Mark Lytle, the whistleblower's attorney, sat down for an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier on "Special Report" on Thursday evening, explaining his client's allegations. "My client wants to come forward. He is not a political person, he is not a social media person, he is not coming here with a political agenda," Lytle said, adding that he has "been at the IRS for more than 10 years" as a special agent, who is "trusted with international investigations."

These new facts make the Biden family the GOAT of corruption. The Wall Street Journal reported that a career IRS Criminal Supervisory Agent has alleged preferential treatment given to Hunter Biden in tax investigations. The whistleblower also alleges that he or she has information that contradicts the testimony of "a senior Biden political appointee." The timing of the letter itself was notable. For years, the Democratically controlled committees blocked any investigation into allegations of corruption and influence peddling by the Biden family. Before the takeover by the Republicans in the House, this whistleblower would have had little reason to seek protection from a Committee with demonstrably little interest in such allegations. In fairness to the Democrats, both parties have used their power to shield presidents or political allies. However, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has now uncovered an array of new facts that are shedding light on what could be one of the largest influence peddling efforts in history. For a city where influence peddling is a virtual cottage industry, that is saying a lot.

Attorney General Merrick Garland is the 'senior political appointee' at center of IRS whistleblower's bombshell claim. Attorney General Merrick Garland is the 'senior' unnamed Biden administration official in the center of a new bombshell IRS whistleblower claim, a source familiar tells DailMail.com. According to a letter Wednesday from attorney Mark Lytle, a man serving as a supervising agent on a 'high-profile' criminal tax probe has come forward seeking whistleblower protections while claiming politics are 'improperly infecting decisions' in an investigation. The investigation referred to is reportedly examining matters related to President Biden's son Hunter Biden.

TikTok Lobbyists Visited White House at Least 40 Times in Past Year. Executives at high-powered firms hired by TikTok for lobbying and strategic consulting visited the White House at least 40 times in the past year, according to official White House visitor records. The Chinese social media platform and its parent company, ByteDance, are mounting a massive public relations blitz as lawmakers are seeking to ban the app due to national security, espionage, and data privacy concerns. ByteDance and TikTok have spent $13 million on federal lobbying sincex 2019 and hired heavyweight firms such as influential Democratic public relations shop SKDK. Those hired guns have had the ear of the White House, the records show.

Will an IRS whistleblower bring down Hunter Biden? There appears to be a crack in the wall of secrecy that has been erected around Biden Incorporated. If last night's report turns out to be true, a whistleblower from the IRS has approached members of Congress expressing a desire to come forward and reveal allegations of misconduct and preferential treatment involving Hunter Biden. They claim that they also have evidence of false testimony given under oath to Congress by "a senior political appointee." The specifics haven't been released yet (assuming they ever will be), but the claims reportedly relate to a multimillion-dollar loan that the First Son took out last year to pay delinquent federal taxes assessed to "income earned overseas." The story was both credible and startling enough that even CNN was covering the allegations this morning.

The left ignores the real Biden Delaware drama to satisfy their bias. New York Times opinionista Michelle Goldberg complained bitterly this week that she had trekked all the way to Wilmington, Del., at the brutal hour of 7 a.m. to watch the Dominion-vs.-Fox News defamation trial, only for the parties to settle before the show began. "Deeply disappointing" was her reaction. But here's a thought. All the disappointed media operatives huddled at Wilmington's Superior Court, like Goldberg and CNN's crestfallen Oliver Darcy, could make themselves useful in the president's hometown. They could investigate a story that is bigger than Watergate but which they have shamefully avoided or downplayed for almost three years: Biden family corruption and the associated coverup, including by the FBI and Big Tech. After all, the House Oversight and Judiciary committees have given them plenty of ammo.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene is accurate, what she says about Biden is mind-blowing. Hunter Biden's hard drive, which he's now conceded is legitimate, proved that Hunter was an exceptionally debauched character. Drugs and prostitutes dominated his life for a long time, and his own family didn't trust him around teenage girls. That's why it's easy to believe Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's as-yet unsubstantiated claim that the Biden family was benefitting from human trafficking both in the U.S. and Eastern Europe — including Russia and Ukraine. Just because she says it doesn't mean it's true, so the real shock is that we live in a world in which it seems possible, even likely. It took a strong stomach to watch the videos and view the photographs on Hunter's hard drive. They revealed a compulsively exhibitionistic man who couldn't stop recording himself smoking crack, sniffing cocaine, and cavorting with prostitutes, some of whom looked as if they fell into the statutory rape category. Moreover, the laptop revealed that, when Hunter requested money from his Dad (the current Oval Office occupant) to fund this debauchery, Dad paid up. What the laptop also revealed, despite Biden's strenuous denials, is that Joe was involved in Hunter's many business dealings. We know this because Hunter's staffers, business partners, and prospects were all welcomed into Joe's vice-presidential office.

Biden's Susceptibility to Blackmail has Unleashed Domestic and International Chaos. It has often been speculated what would happen to this nation if a decadently compromised president who willingly succumbed to extortion from both domestic and foreign interests were elected. That possibility is no longer in the realm of speculation. For the past 27 months the United States has experienced this devastating eventuality, as no president in this nation's history has been as susceptible to domestic and international blackmail as Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. Nonetheless, in their unbridled hubris, the Democrats' puppet masters turned to Joe Biden whom they could portray as a "moderate" in order to defeat Donald Trump. While Trump was in office this same cabal vociferously proclaimed that "A president openly susceptible to blackmail cannot serve." In a stunning example of hypocrisy, they chose the most susceptible president in American history. However, they failed to understand that the Communist Chinese and Marxist penchant for using political blackmail to achieve their objectives would determine the fate of the country during his presidency. The hubris of the American ruling class and venality on the part of Joe Biden has placed the United States in the position of being humiliated and extorted by the Chinese Communists, who have bribed his son, family and ultimately him.

IRS whistleblower claims he has PROOF the Biden administration has thwarted the criminal investigation into Hunter. A man serving as a supervising agent on a 'high-profile' criminal tax probe has come forward seeking whistleblower protections while claiming politics are 'improperly infecting decisions' in the investigation. And in the latest Biden family matter to draw scrutiny in Congress, the matter has been identified as being about the president's son, Hunter Biden. A lawyer representing the unidentified whistleblower wrote senators as well as inspectors general for the Justice Departments and the Treasury Department on Wednesday.

Oversight Committee Has Evidence of Biden Family Connections to Human Trafficking of Prositututes from US, Russia, Ukraine. Prior to the 2020 election, The Gateway Pundit released sordid details from the Hunter Biden laptop. The mainstream media and regime lapdogs refused to report on the criminal conduct of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and the Biden Crime Family, in order to protect them days before the 2020 election. The Gateway Pundit reported in October 2020 on Hunter Biden's Russian orgies, his many nights with Russian hookers, his father wiring him money for his prostitutes, and his fears of being blackmailed by the Putin regime. Now there is more evidence that it was not just Hunter Biden who was linked to the Russian prostitutues. According to Marjorie Taylor Greene, the House Oversight Committee has evidence the entire Biden Crime Family was involved in human trafficking that involves prostitutes from Russia, Ukraine and the US.

Two-Tiered Justice: IRS Supervisor Says Political Intervention Taking Place to Protect Hunter Biden. An IRS supervisory special agent with information about intervention, mishandling and 'political interference' in the ongoing criminal probe into Hunter Biden is seeking whistleblower protections to share the information with Congress. Apparently, the deep state "theys" are protecting Hunter Biden and the IRS agent has had enough.

House GOP Now Says Probe Extends to Nine Biden Family Members' Web of Money and Influence. With GOP House members saying their probe of the Biden family's financial dealings has now spread to nine family members, it appears that troubled son Hunter's entanglements may only be the beginning of the investigation. The question now is whether the House Oversight Committee will expose anything that rises to a level that would interest Department of Justice criminal investigators, or if their probe will just shine light on a world of access, favors, and self-dealing that while unsavory is probably not illegal. The committee's chairman, Representative James Comer, disclosed that "six additional members" of the president's family "may have benefited" from deals that could pose a "national security threat." He added: "The Biden family enterprise is centered on Joe Biden's political career and connections."

Guess Who's Behind the 51 Intel Officials Letter Dismissing Hunter Biden's Laptop? The laptop has since been confirmed to be legitimate, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence confirmed that there was no foreign disinformation campaign involved. But new information from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and congressional investigators, with the help of two Obama-era CIA officials, has revealed a new twist in the story. The investigation has uncovered evidence linking the letter dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation during the 2020 election to Joe Biden's presidential campaign. [...] Jordan revealed to Just the News that a report on government weaponization is set to be released later this month, detailing the individuals involved in the letter and the evidence linking them to the Biden campaign. Jordan suggested that the letter may have been a significant interference in the presidential election and was motivated by political considerations. Jordan declined to provide more details as further witness interviews are being conducted this week. "It was all done with politics, and it looks like there was some real connections with the Biden campaign," Jordan said during an interview late last week on the John Solomon Reports podcast.

Jim Jordan Reveals He Has Evidence Connecting the Biden Campaign to the Bogus Letter Which Called Hunter's Laptop Russian Disinformation. Jim Hoft previously reported 51 former intelligence officials in October 2020 signed and published a letter that baselessly decried the contents of Hunter's 'laptop from hell' had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." The deep state stooges claimed the laptop looked like Russian disinformation without citing any actual evidence to back up the claim. Rather, the officials based their fallacious statements on their so-called experience. Reporters led by Natasha Bertrand, who wrote the original Politico article citing the intelligence officials, knew the officials' claims were completely false yet they chose to gaslight the public anyway.

Republicans Raise Alarm About Biden Family After Treasury Visit. More of President Joe Biden's family members are drawing the interest of Republican investigators on Capitol Hill who say they are dead set on rooting out any corruption surrounding the White House. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and other GOP members announced on Monday that they paid a visit to the Treasury Department following a breakthrough agreement allowing access to suspicious activity reports (SARs), which financial institutions can use to flag possible criminal behavior, for the Biden family and their associates' business transactions.

Rep. Comer Claims Six More Members Of Biden Family May Have Benefited from Hunter's Business Dealings. Representative James Comer (R-KY) has claimed that six additional members of the Biden family may have benefited from Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings. This is in addition to previously reported allegations that Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine and China may have been influenced by his father Joe Biden's political position. "Thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family, their companies, and associates' business schemes were made available to members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which confirm the importance of this investigation," Comer said in a statement Monday afternoon [4/17/2023].

19 Times Democrats And DOJ Deliberately Politicized Law Enforcement. [#8] After acquiring Twitter, CEO Elon Musk gave a group of independent journalists exclusive access to the company's internal communications. The ensuing "Twitter Files" exposed how the federal government co-opts social media platforms to manipulate public opinion through censorship campaigns. Part 6 of the "Twitter Files" detailed how Twitter was a conduit for the FBI to influence voters ahead of the 2020 election. The two were reportedly in "constant and pervasive" contact. The agency partnered with Twitter to suppress right-leaning content throughout the election cycle. That suppression still continues under Musk's leadership. Part 7 of the series, published by California-based Substack reporter Michael Shellenberger, illustrated how the FBI launched an operation to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop stories, which implicated then-candidate Biden in global influence-peddling schemes. The FBI even arranged security clearances for senior employees at Twitter and paid the company $3.4 million in taxpayer dollars.

If Ronald Reagan had done this, would the press have been so disinterested?
Joe Biden Calls a Lid First Thing This Morning, Hasn't Been Seen in Days. Biden returned from a 4-day trip to Ireland very late Friday night/early Saturday morning and he hasn't been seen since. Joe Biden's crackhead son Hunter and grifter sister Valerie joined the president in Ireland. Hunter Biden had to intervene several times to help his old man answer questions. Biden has nothing on his public schedule all day after a disastrous trip to Ireland and the media refuses to ask questions.

Can We Do Anything About America's Decline? Biden is on schedule to run up a $2 trillion annual deficit, adhering to the Bush, Obama, and Trump legacy of unfettered spending. In Biden's case, he insanely printed over $4 trillion at a time when labor participation rates were already in decline, COVID-suppressed demand was returning, and transportation and production interruptions were reducing supply. He raised taxes, increased regulations, cut projected increases in gas and oil production, and canceled energy projects. The result was the highest inflation in 40 years, near-record energy costs, soaring interest rates, the largest modern percentage of debt to GDP at 130 percent, the greatest debt in our history at $33 trillion, and stagnant GDP.

Sen. Johnson sounds alarm on 'jaw-dropping' Biden family bank records: 'Revealing'. Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson is sounding the alarm over the Biden family's "revealing" bank records, arguing that the media "completely ignored" his 2020 report on the "grifting" family.

Biden Is Even Worse than Obama. Rather than stabilizing things as the moderate Democrat he pretended to be, at every crossroads Biden has made decisions that make the country weaker, more hated, more fragile, and less unified. Unimaginably, Joe Biden is a worse president than Barack Obama, a complete phony and a disaster in every way possible, as is the deep state that controls much of his agenda.

Bank records show millions in transactions between Hunter Biden, China firms: Sen. Johnson. Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson says the financial institution Cathay Bank has given Senate Republicans records showing millions of dollars going from Chinese companies to President Biden's son Hunter Biden. Republicans and others started raising concerns during President Biden's successful 2020 White House campaign, if not earlier, that Hunter Biden used the family name and influence while his father was vice president to make millions in overseas business deals, which also could have compromised U.S. national security. Johnson told The Washington Times the records show the Biden family involved with the now-defunct CEFC China Energy, which had connections to the Chinese Communist Party. The firm reportedly gave $1 million to Hudson West III, which was a joint venture owned by Hunter Biden and Gongwen Dong, a business associate of CEFC's founder and chairman, Ye Jianming, according to the bank records.

Ex-Obama Staffer Blows the Whistle on Biden 'Kickback Scheme' With Bombshell Interviews. It's a pretty brave thing when someone stands up against the tide of the narrative and calls out those in power. An ex-Obama staffer, Mike McCormick, is doing just that when it comes to Joe Biden. McCormick is blowing the whistle on Biden and he's now revealing some of the things he observed. McCormick was a stenographer for the White House for 15 years, and worked with Biden for six years, from 2011 to 2017. So when we talk about the White House transcript, he was responsible for recording what was said by officials like then-Vice President Joe Biden. McCormick gave an interview about it to "Fox and Friends."

Will [the] Latest Revelations Of Corruption Get Biden Impeached? American voters are a thick-skinned lot, and know pretty much that many politicians are scoundrels. But Biden is a different breed. His family has, for years, received mysterious piles of money — we're talking millions of dollars here — from questionable overseas sources, including Chinese Communist-linked executives, Russians with ties to Vladimir Putin and huge sums from Ukraine and its giant Burisma energy company. The latest revelation is just stunning. Turns out that Hunter, with no real experience at all in the energy business, was asked to join Ukraine-based Burisma's board of directors on April 18, 2014 — the same month that President Barack Obama made Biden his "point man" on Ukraine, then in the midst of a growing conflict with Russia. A mere three days after Hunter joined Burisma's board, Vice President Biden high-tailed it to Ukraine on an "official" trip to push "medium- and long-term strategies to boost conventional gas production, and also to begin to take advantage of the unconventional gas reserves that are in Ukraine." Did it work? You bet.

"Joe Biden Is A Criminal" Says Ex-Obama Whistleblower Alleging Family "Kickback Scheme". A former staffer who worked in the Obama administration is blowing the whistle on the Bidens - and has accused President Biden of being involved in a "kickback scheme" directly related to his son Hunter's overseas business dealings. Mike McCormick, a stenographer in the White House for 15 years who worked with Biden from 2011 to 2017, told Fox & Friends First that the FBI has completely ignored him despite his willingness to testify under oath before the grand jury investigating Hunter. "In February, I went to the FBI and filed one of their tips on their website. If you do that, and you're lying to them, you go to jail. I'm not lying. I'm telling the truth, and I'm not going to jail," McCormick said on Thursday [4/13/2023].

The Editor says...
If you had courtroom-quality dirt on the Bidens, or the Clintons, or any Democrat in the U.S. Senate, would you take that evidence to the FBI? Does anyone trust the FBI that much?

The 'Biden Crime Family' Was All-in on Gain-of-Function Research. Remember when Hunter Biden tagged along on Joe's trip to China in 2013? Photographers captured the moment when Hunter followed his dad and daughter Finnegan down the stairs of Air Force Two. The Obama White House produced a fawning video about it. It was a trip that would pay millions in dividends for what some people call "The Biden Crime Family." On that Asian tour, Vice President Biden held a four-and-a-half hour-long meeting with Chinese President Xi that was mostly off the record. He also visited Japan and South Korea. The trip was in December 2013. Hunter's visage wasn't featured in the vast majority of the coverage. But they needed only one look to ask, "What was Hunter doing on this trip?" It turns out, he was off doing deals, trading on his dad's name, and making millions for the family.

Something Is Wrong with Joe Biden. Even a gelded press corps, such as the sort that currently populates the White House, can only take so much abject humiliation before it goes from being perversely enjoyable to downright degrading. President Joe Biden, you see, has been avoiding the press. Sure, he's been spotted intermittently speaking in very controlled settings with the press in the last few months. Even when Biden takes shouted, off-the-cuff questions from the press, it is rarely that they ask him such contentious questions the way they did of former President Donald J. Trump — their great orange whale. [...] Biden's interactions with the press are carefully choreographed and scripted. And the majority of the White House Press Pool is fine with it because, of course, they are on his political team. So, for that group to not only begin publicly castigating the White House press secretary but to openly mock the White House's press interaction — including Biden himself — is a big step. It should tell you that something is amiss in the Biden Administration.

Ex-Obama staffer blows whistle on Biden 'kickback scheme' after Hunter joined Burisma: 'Malfeasance in office'. A former Obama administration staffer is blowing the whistle on the Biden family's business dealings, accusing President Biden of being involved in a "kickback scheme" in connection with his son Hunter's overseas business dealings while he was vice president. Mike McCormick, a stenographer for the White House for 15 years, told "Fox & Friends First" the FBI has been ignoring his alarms on the matter despite his willingness to testify under oath before the federal grand jury investigating Hunter. "In February, I went to the FBI and filed one of their tips on their website. If you do that, and you're lying to them, you go to jail. I'm not lying. I'm telling the truth, and I'm not going to jail," McCormick said Thursday. "Joe Biden is a criminal. He was conducting malfeasance in office to enrich his family. Jake Sullivan is a conspirator in that, and there's more... Obama officials involved in it, I believe."

Biden White House Is So Polluted With Sleaze It Should Be a Superfund Site. There used to be a lot of talk in America about "respecting the office of the presidency" even if one found the current officeholder objectionable. For most of my adult life, I've tried to do just that. Then the questionable COVID-19 election gave us a president whose pudding brain is being run by a bunch of far-left psychos who don't respect the office at all. Joe Biden's handlers have turned the office of the presidency into a cesspool of graft that makes Richard Nixon look like a soloist in a boys' choir by comparison. It truly seems as if the mission statement of the Biden administration is to corrupt everyone in the Executive Branch on its way to destroying trust in our institutions and eventually the Republic itself. The worst aspect of this Constitution-shredding presidency has been the way it transformed the Federal Bureau of Investigation from being a domestic security agency to a taxpayer-funded organized crime goon squad. What little faith conservatives had in government has been shattered by that, and it's not going to be coming back.

Hunter Biden Is Facing A Legal Crisis. The legal quicksand is getting deeper for Hunter Biden and members of his family. President Joe Biden's son already has questionable ties to at least one Chinese company, the U.S. House Oversight Committee believes. The leadership of this Republican-led panel thinks bank records that show potentially incriminating activities about Hunter, his uncle, and his sister-in-law are only the tip of the iceberg concerning alleged corruption and influence peddling by the president and his family.

Biden Removed President Trump's Executive Privilege in Order to Raid Mar-a-Lago to Cover-Up His Own Illegal Possession of Classified Docs. Right after the illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago, Attorney Mike Davis went on Fox News. He pointed out that the raid was unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful. President Trump had the Presidential Records Act that allowed him to take whatever documents he wanted, classified or not, with him to Mar-a-Lago when he left the White House. There must have been a major reason why Biden and AG Garland would raid the President's iconic home to take documents from President Trump. It was suggested that Biden wanted to steal President Trump's documents that showed the criminal acts by the Clintons, Obamas, Bidens and the corrupt DOJ and FBI. The documents were related to the Russia collusion lie made up against President Trump. Now we know there is more to this story. This week more evidence came out that Biden was involved with the raid on Mar-a-Lago.

Chinese Bank Voluntarily Gives Republicans Damaging New Financial Records On Hunter Biden. China sent a warning to Joe Biden on Tuesday after the Chinese-American bank, Cathay Bank, provided Senate Republicans with records revealing millions of dollars transferred from Chinese firms to Hunter Biden and James Biden. "In my mind, it's the Chinese government telling Joe Biden, 'We got the goods on you, buddy, and we're willing to dish it up,'" Sen. Johnson told The Washington Times. [...] Cathay Bank is a Chinese-American bank headquartered in Los Angeles, California voluntary gave the records to the two Senators. The bank has branches throughout California, Washington state, and other locations in the United States. The bank was founded in 1962 to serve the Chinese-American community and has since expanded to provide financial services to customers of various backgrounds. Cathay Bank has offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Taipei, among other locations, and is publicly traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange.

Biden Confuses Where His Office Is, Has Huge Security Breach During Visit to Northern Ireland. We keep seeing Joe Biden deteriorating right in front of us. He wasn't a shining light to start with, even years ago, but he just keeps getting worse. That became readily apparent in Northern Ireland on Wednesday. Confusion and disaster seem to follow him wherever he goes, and it permeates the operations of all his people as well. Biden is visiting the country to commemorate the Good Friday Agreement — a peace deal that the U.S. was instrumental in helping to broker. Biden brought along his son, Hunter, who has been under investigation for years regarding Biden family foreign business dealings. [Tweet] Is that a vacation and are they reimbursing the government for that? Or is Hunter "doing business" there in Northern Ireland, with a lift from Joe? He also met with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. While he said that he would "listen," his people naturally pushed all the reporters out of the room, yet again, so they could avoid more gaffes. [Tweet]

Ex-White House stenographer says FBI ignored Biden's role in son Hunter's business dealings. Then-Vice President Joe Biden visited Ukraine on a mission to bolster the country's energy industry days after his son Hunter joined the board of natural gas company Burisma in 2014 — which a former White House stenographer claims implicates the now-80-year-old in a foreign influence-peddling "kickback scheme." Mike McCormick says he was with current national security adviser Jake Sullivan — then a Biden aide — in the press cabin of Air Force Two en route to Kyiv on April 21, 2014, as he outlined how the world's wealthiest country would help the deeply corrupt post-Soviet state build its gas industry. Giving a rundown of Biden's priorities for the trip, Sullivan — described as a "senior administration official" — said the then-vice president would "discuss with [Ukrainian officials] medium- and long-term strategies to boost conventional gas production, and also to begin to take advantage of the unconventional gas reserves that are in Ukraine."

DOJ Openly Ignores Hunter Biden's Ties to [an] International Arms Trafficker. The Department of Justice has consistently turned a blind eye to compelling evidence of Biden family corruption, even as it continues to cook up charges against former president Donald Trump in a blatant case of election interference. RealClearInvestigation's Paul Sperry has found in Justice Dept. documents that presidential son Hunter Biden's Chinese business partner, Chi Ping Ho, not only "doled out international bribes, but trafficked arms, including grenade launchers and anti-tank missiles." As Sperry recounts, the Ho-Hunter connection was buried in court documents. But the DOJ refrained from prosecuting either Hunter Biden or his brother James Biden as unregistered foreign agents[.]

Biden's White House was up to its neck in the Mar-a-Lago raid. America First Legal ("AFL") filed a FOIA request with the Office of the Inspector General ("OIG") for the National Archives and Records Administration ("NARA") to find out more information about the raid on Mar-a-Lago last year. Rather unexpectedly, the OIG responded honestly to the request, turning over records that revealed the White House helping to set up the FBI for the raid. As a preliminary matter, Trump had an absolute right to possess any records he wanted, if he gained possession of them (as he did) while he was still president. It is black-letter law (that is, unquestioned, uncontested, absolute law) in America that the President of the United States is the last, best word when it comes to document classification: [...]

Nets Skip News Hunter's Associates Visited Obama/Biden White House Over 80 Times. Fox News Digital reported on another bombshell in the Hunter Biden scandal which added to the mounting evidence that despite what President Joe Biden claims, it appears he did in fact know about his delinquent drug addict son Hunter's business dealings. In Fox's report, "Four business partners, a vice president, and two assistants at Hunter Biden's now-defunct firm visited the White House more than 80 times when his father was vice president in the Obama administration." Despite this news, all three evening news broadcasts ignored this bombshell revelation. Instead, the "big three" network news broadcasts ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News were preoccupied with stories on rising sea levels in the Gulf of Mexico (ABC), the rising cost of postage stamps (CBS), and another segment on Artificial Intelligence (NBC).

Joe Biden, the Puppet. President Biden's policies are detrimental to the United States' strategic interests and outright violations of federal law and the Constitution. Joe Biden is a puppet of the Chinese and Ukraine. Hunter Biden, the princeling, was "raking in millions from the Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian oligarchs for no credible business purpose other than gaining access to Joe Biden [The Big Guy]." The World Economic Forum (WEF), the Deep State, the Radical (Marxist) Left, self-interested and corrupt politicians, the ruling elite, the leftist media complex, big tech, and multinational corporations manipulate Biden. In so doing, "These actors have robbed the public treasury of billions of dollars in broad daylight. These actors seek and are driven by retaining and gaining more power and money." A conspiracy with mutual interests through deception and disinformation is destabilizing our country in a move toward a totalitarian state. Under the guise of Democratic socialism. Democratic socialism is a rebranding of the New World Order or Globalism, Marxism, Fascism, Nazism, and Communism.

Karine Jean-Pierre Absurdly Claims Joe Biden Takes More Questions Than Any Other President. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday absurdly claimed Joe Biden has taken more questions than any other US president. "Why can't the president take questions from the press?" a reporter asked KJP. "Right now, we just don't have anything on the books for a press conference at this moment; the president always loves to take your questions, shouted questions," KJP said. [Tweet] The White House reporters weren't buying this so Karine Jean-Pierre doubled down. "So I'll say this, it is also unprecedented that a president takes as many shouted questions as this president has." Lefty White House reporters groaned as Karine Jean-Pierre knowingly lied about Biden. Joe Biden virtually never takes questions shouted at him.

White House Easter Egg Roll 2023: Joe Biden Followed by Dr. Jill and Marine Holding Easter Bunny's Hand. Joe and Jill Biden on Monday participated in the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. Biden spoke to the media without being interrupted by the Easter Bunny. Biden told NBC's Al Roker he plans on running for re-election in 2024. At one point Joe Biden was followed by Dr. Jill and a US Marine holding the Easter Bunny's hand. Jill Biden had to tell her invalid husband where to go. Embarrassing. [Tweet with video clip]

Biden Lays an Egg When Asked About Running in 2024. Amidst all the fuss over the 2024 GOP primary, it's worth remembering that Democrats are currently stuck in limbo, with Joe Biden refusing to make a decision on a re-election run. He was challenged again on that front over the weekend while attending Easter festivities, and he laid an egg. Understand that I mean that literally. He actually talked about squeezing eggs outside of what I would assume would be his backside. This is either the weirdest or most senile man to ever occupy the White House. [Tweet]

Fiddling America Away. The last few weeks, the world had been writing off the United States as either crazy or irrelevant as it watches America cannibalize itself. Friends tremble at our sudden decline. Enemies rejoice. Neutrals make the necessary adjustments to join the ascendant non-American side. The symptoms of our decline abroad appear everywhere. The more Joe Biden brags about the crippling oil sanctions on Russia, friends like India and allies like Japan ignore them. And why not, when Biden has no idea how long the war in Ukraine will last, or how much wherewithal the United States can, should, or will give Kyiv, or how its on-to-Red-Square blank check will finally end? Big Biden talks about more solar and wind farms, and green new deals won't fill the gas tanks in Munich or heat the homes of Kyoto, or lower the price of imported oil in the United Kingdom. Claiming the Afghanistan mess was a success fools no one.

Joe Biden is the human trafficking president. Just 50 days into his presidency, human trafficking and smuggling at the southern border have already gotten worse thanks to President Biden. Reuters reported Wednesday that the Mexican government has assessed "that gangs are diversifying methods of smuggling and winning clients as they eye U.S. measures that will 'incentivize migration.'" The trafficking of migrants to the United States from Mexico and Central America hoping to win asylum isn't new. The Trump administration went to great lengths to discourage it by getting those governments to disperse migrant caravans and forcing asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico until their cases could be adjudicated.

Biden disgracefully tries to memory-hole his Afghanistan debacle. President Joe Biden's low approval ratings and reelection numbers have long been the subject of commentaries and even jokes. But things weren't always this way. His administration lost the electorate's confidence at a specific moment. It was August 2021, and it was because of his disastrous handling of U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Biden had gone on television earlier, on July 8, 2021, to boast that he had finally achieved the right conditions for withdrawal. He reassured the public that it would go smoothly. The Taliban would not rapidly overwhelm Afghan army forces and cause trouble for the retreating Americans.

A dose of their own medicine. The most recent and obvious example of the "new normal" is the persecution of a former president by an out-of-control liberal District Attorney in Manhattan. But the weaponization of law enforcement and the courts runs much deeper, as we saw with the FBI's obstruction of the law and successful efforts to influence the outcome of the 2020 elections using Big Tech as their vehicle of choice. Other examples abound. [...] Kurt [Schlichter] mentions the prosecution of Donald Trump as sufficient motivation to go after Biden Incorporated and bring some charges against the presumably guilty parties, likely starting with the President's wayward crackhead son. And I couldn't agree more. But you can drag out all of the evidence in the world, starting with banking records and the contents of the Laptop From Hell and it won't make any difference if the Justice Department simply uses "prosecutorial discretion" and refuses to move the case forward.

Leftism and the Minions of Satan. Like the snake in the Garden of Eden, Biden, lies about his past; employs twisted biblical doctrine and imagery to get his way; and if that doesn't work, slings verbal abuse at his adversaries. For example, in Biden's Hitleresque speech on January 1, 2022, titled "Continued Battle for the Soul of the Nation," he alludes to 1 John 1:5-6 when claiming to be the guardian of truth and light against MAGA darkness. Evidence proves the opposite. Look no farther than Biden administration's Transgender Day of Visibility comments on March 31, 2023, claiming that transgenders, in their delusional and mutilated selves, are image-bearers of God. In reality, God made man and woman unique with different qualities to complement each other. But Biden and his ilk want to substitute God's truth with transgender idolatry, where a boy with XY chromosomes can destroy healthy body parts, take massive amounts of hormones, and become a fake girl, and vice versa. When their Frankenstein experiments go wrong, they scapegoat Christians for the failure of their evil actions, call for vengeance against anyone holding biblical worldviews, and declare the Bible hate speech and Christians the biggest threat to the nation.

House Oversight Committee subpoenas banks, Biden family associates in probe of finances. The House Oversight Committee issued subpoenas to banks asking for Biden family associates' financial records. Fox News has confirmed that the Oversight Committee subpoenaed Bank of America, Cathay Bank, JPMorgan Chase, and HSBC USA N.A., as well as former Hunter Biden business associate Mervyn Yan, asking for financial records. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, complained that Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., was trying to hide information regarding the investigation from Democrats on the committee.

United States Gov't Seeks to Garnish Accounts of Hunter's Pal After Failing to Pay $43,954,416. The United States government is seeking to garnish funds from Devon Archer's accounts after he failed to pay $43,954,416.75 upon being convicted of fraud in 2022. Archer, who is a Biden family business associate and Hunter's "best friend in business," remains in legal trouble for failing to pay a $43,954,416.75 judgment to the victims he deceived. In February 2022, the convicted fraudster was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for defrauding a Native American tribal entity.

Republicans lay the groundwork for 2025 indictments. Republican James Comer leads the House Oversight Committee's investigation into the Biden family. Everyone in Washington knew for decades that Biden was on the take. Soon, all of America will know too. As Comer said, "Investigating Hunter, the Biden family is about like tracking a bleeding bear through a snowstorm. I mean, there's evidence everywhere." The tracking has begun. On March 16, Comer announced, "Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability issued a memorandum revealing new evidence resulting from the investigation into the Biden family's influence peddling and business schemes. Subpoenaed financial records show that from 2015 to 2017, Biden family members — Hunter Biden, James Biden, Hallie Biden, and an unknown Biden — and their companies collectively received $1.3 million in payments from accounts related to Rob Walker, a Biden family associate. "Notably, on March 1, 2017, less than two months after Vice President Joe Biden left public office, State Energy HK Limited, a Chinese company, wired $3 million to Rob Walker's company. The next day, the company wired $1,065,000 to a company associated with James Gilliar, another Biden family associate. Afterwards, the Biden family received approximately $1,065,000 in payments over a three-month period in different bank accounts. From the bank records, it appears that the Biden family received approximately one-third of the money obtained from the China wire." $3 million? They sold us out to Red China for a lousy $3 million?

Joe Biden visited Ukraine as VP [...] just three days after son Hunter joined gas firm Burisma's board. Joe Biden pushed for Ukraine to frack gas during his 2014 vice presidential visit — just days after his son Hunter joined the board of a firm set to profit from it. The first son joined the board of allegedly corrupt Ukrainian gas firm Burisma on April 18, 2014, the company announced in a press release at the time. Three days later, Joe was aboard Air Force 2 for an official visit to the East European country. [...] Biden's push for greater energy production was politically significant — making Ukraine more economically independent from Russia. But the move also led to millions of dollars for the company his son was then working for.

America's Geriatric Megalomaniacs. [Joe] Biden is not nor has he ever been moved by ideology or love of country. He is a self-obsessed blowhard who is currently, and without hesitation, promoting extremist left-wing ideology and society-destroying Cultural Marxism. He unquestioningly believes by doing so he will achieve his delusional all-encompassing objective of being an historically transformative president. Over the years he adopted starkly opposite positions when he thought those policies would garner the esteem he desperately craves. He was an overt racist and segregationist, a zealot for tough on crime legislation, an opponent of gay rights, a staunch supporter of a balanced budget amendment, a hawk promoting military interventions in numerous international conflicts, and an avowed opponent of unconstrained abortion rights. This same warped mindset underlines Biden's justification for the selling of his political office for personal gain. For over 40 years he callously used and abused his family in his schemes and betrayed his country when, as Vice-President, he expanded his influence-peddling business globally into Ukraine, China, Russia and Kazakhstan among other nations, receiving $31 million from China alone. Throughout Biden's political career, in virtually every speech or answer to a question, he seamlessly lies about his life history, legislative matters, and his political opponents. Incessant compulsive lying and obfuscation have been just another means to achieve his ends.

What Would a Real Manchurian Candidate Do Differently than Joe Biden? Policies pursued by the Biden regime continue to be de facto gifts to the Chinese Communist Party because those actions have been undermining US national security, foreign policy, the economy, and society in general since January 2021. Could this all be by design? Is Joe Biden a real-life "Manchurian Candidate" acting in service of his masters in Beijing? While this is a seemingly far-fetched notion, would Biden's actions be any different if he was in fact a bona fide Manchurian candidate controlled by the CCP? [...] The policy actions of the Biden regime from its beginning have been directly beneficial to the geopolitical goals of communist China, which involve replacing the US as the world's economic and military superpower. Anything that undermines the US — which is what many of Biden's policies have done — advances China's goals and objectives.

So Joe Biden did indeed leave classified documents lying around for anyone at the Penn-Biden Center to read them. Obviously, anyone could get their hands on these documents who wanted them, and if Joe Biden was "saving" them, from among all the classified documents he came into contact with, they might well have been important. The testimony from [Kathy] Chung, who was Joe Biden's assistant hired at the recommendation of Hunter Biden, suggests that the documents pertained to Ukraine, Iran and the U.K. Why the secrets from these places would have been important to Joe is something of a mystery, but it's pretty obvious he had no business keeping them at a China-funded entity, and apparently there were quite a lot of them — which have been found not just there but in multiple places. At the House oversight committee, Rep. James Comer noted that he was particularly concerned about one classified document that Hunter handed over to Burisma, the Ukrainian energy conglomerate. Why the heck would this dirty, corrupt foreign entity be entitled to have such documents when ordinary Americans could be jailed for just looking at one? Why have classified information at all when all it's doing is serving as gravy for Joe Biden's personal enrichment?

The Final Battle Is Upon Us: Sic Semper Tyrannis. The Biden family sold out our country — not to the highest bidder, but to all of them. Under Trump, we prospered; we were safe and we were happy. But communism can't spread when We the People are smiling, so Biden pulled the Bat-chute and brought it all to a screeching halt. Joe Biden ran up a $52 million tab with China. And when Xi Jinping tells Joe to jump? Mark my words: Joe Biden doesn't make decisions; he waits for orders from his Chinese daddy. Not too long ago, China ordered Joe to allow a spy balloon to cruise over our nation. Biden knows where his eggrolls are buttered and obeyed like the obsequient lickspittle he is. I have a sneaking suspicion that Beijing told Joe Biden and his band of bolshies to do what it takes to remove Trump from the 2024 election. Who has more to lose than China? And today's spectacle in New York City is just the beginning. There are three more bogus investigations to come.

Dems Are Stuck With Biden, Let's Hope the Rest of Us Aren't. The potential replacements for Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket are some of the most pathetic mediocrities in the history of American politics. Choosing between the likes of Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Stacey Abrams is like being presented with a variety of uncomfortable chronic fungal infections and being forced to pick one. The Democrats may not be able to manufacture enough magical mail-in ballots in the dead of night to get any of them over the top. One thing is certain: it definitely won't be a trade-up if Biden opts out of running again. Waiting in the wings is a gaggle of Democrats who are just as dull-witted as he is, but who can't blame it on age.

Destroying the Rule of Law. Today we have a president, who is a former vice-president, who has a son who is as corrupt as the days are long. A son who is guilty of a felony gun charge. A son who is linked to influence peddling with our number one geo-political foe, and it appears we have a president who has financially benefited from said illicit dealings. However, when a computer surfaced with damning evidence it was dismissed as "Russian disinformation" by members of the U.S. intelligence community. Now, that same son is seeking legal action against the computer store owner who was in possession of the laptop that he originally said wasn't his.

Who is pulling the puppet strings in Washington, DC? Last week a hot mike caught one of Biden's handlers giving him instructions on what to do and where to go during a recent visit to North Carolina. This wasn't the usual host making small talk with the guest. This seemed like a caregiver giving detailed instructions to his patient, which an individual of sound mental and cognitive health would not need. [Tweet] Biden has on several occasions demonstrated proof of his decline. He frequently flubs his lines despite reading from a teleprompter. He forgets the names of his colleagues and gets lost on the White House lawn. He even struggles to wear his cardigan, falls asleep at global conferences, trips multiple times while ascending the stairs of Air Force One, and falls off a stationary bike. Obviously, Biden isn't running the country. His schedule shows he does very little in the White House. Biden is rarely subjected to any impromptu questions from the press. He frequently makes claims that the White House has to walk back. He frequently escapes to Delaware, perhaps to hide from the public.

Is the FBI Planning to Intimidate Hunter Biden Whistleblowers? I found disgraced FBI agent Timothy Thibault's girlfriend's Twitter account. She has tweeted prolifically in defense of the former special agent. While most are innocuous, a few of her posts raise some serious red flags. Her tweets contain specific and non-public information where she suggests that the FBI is planning to respond to the whistleblowers that have come forward to congressional Republicans to expose the anti-Trump bias at the bureau and the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop during the 2020 election. Her Twitter gives reason to believe that the FBI may be conspiring with Thibault to attempt to discredit and intimidate the whistleblowers, including by revealing their identities[.] As you may recall, Timothy Thibault was one of the FBI agents who was in charge of the investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop, which the bureau originally obtained in 2019. Last July, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley announced that FBI whistleblowers had come forward to his office alleging that Thibault deliberately suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop investigation before the 2020 election. The whistleblowers also alleged a widespread effort within the FBI led by Thibault to downplay or discredit negative information about Hunter Biden.

James Comer: Four Biden Family Business Associates [are] Cooperating with [the] Investigation into Joe Biden. Four Biden family business associates are cooperating with the House investigation into President Joe Biden and his family, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) said Monday. Comer is investigating Joe Biden and the Biden family for nine violations, including money laundering and wire fraud. The probe has encompassed subpoenaing bank records and demanding cooperation from family business associates. "We are in communication with four former Biden family business associates," Comer told Fox Business. "They are cooperating with our investigation." "And I will tell you it's very concerning," he said about the information the whistleblowers revealed to the committee.

Indict One — And All? what crime did Trump not do that others did with either impunity or without being arrested? Here is a sample [...]
[#8] Trump did not boast publicly, as did Joe Biden, that he used U.S. foreign aid monies as leverage to have the Ukrainian government fire a prosecutor who may have been looking into the Biden family's efforts to sell influence to corrupt Ukrainian interests.
[#9] Trump did not, as the Bidens did, set up a family consortium to leverage monies from Ukraine, Russia, and China, on their shared expectations that he might soon run for and be elected president and become compromised. Trump is not mentioned, as is Joe Biden, in family business communications as a recipient of a 10 percent commission on such payoffs.
[#10] Trump did not, unlike Joe Biden, remove presidential papers — without any authority to declassify them — and leave them scattered and unsecured in a garage and various residences and offices.

White House Admits They Are Limiting Old Joe's Foreign Travel. White House insiders admit in a recent report at the Telegraph that Joe Biden is too old to travel." This comes after years of his bumbling, stumbling, lost thoughts and blank stares. Joe Biden will skip the Coronation of King Charles in April. The White House is limiting his international travel.

The Editor says...
Apparently he's also too old to work more than four days a week, or more than six hours a day.

If 'no one Is Above The Law,' Democrats And Their Partisan Pawns Would Be Arraigned, Not Trump. A president avoiding paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes seems like the kind of thing federal agencies, including the recently financially invigorated Internal Revenue Service, should explore. Yet Biden, who hasn't explained millions of dollars of his recorded income, and First Lady Jill Biden together reportedly dodged about $517,000 in Medicare and Obamacare taxes between 2017 and 2020 without scrutiny. [Also,] The president's son isn't just a walking liability for the Biden family name, he's a glaring national security threat with a long, infamous history of using illicit drugs, engaging in possibly criminal sexual escapades with foreign women, and selling access to his dad under the guise of doing business with foreign oligarchs from places like China. Besides all this and his reckless handling of a lost gun in 2018 — which, against normal protocol, the Secret Service reportedly helped him cover up — Hunter likely lied on federal forms about his drug use to purchase that gun, a felony, with barely a whisper of punishment.

Joe Biden: 'Transgender Americans Shape our Nation's Soul'. Transgender Americans "shape our nation's soul," according to President Joe Biden, who made the assertion Thursday [3/30/2023] as part of a White House Proclamation on Transgender Day of Visibility. The proclamation came mere days after a transgender shooter allegedly murdered six individuals at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee. A proclamation from the Biden White House celebrates the "Transgender Day of Visibility," deeming transgender individuals the "bravest people" the president apparently knows. They are people who "have too often had to put their jobs, relationships, and lives on the line just to be their true selves," the proclamation reads, deeming gender confused individuals as those who "shape" America's soul.

The Editor says...
[#1] Individuals have souls. Our nation does not have a soul. [#2] Transvestites and homosexual activists have no trouble with "visibility" and don't need the help of the White House in that regard. [#3] Transvestites pretend to be something they're not. It's not an act of bravery. That's the opposite of a person trying to be his or her "true self." [#4] Joe Biden is a chronic liar, and in this case, he didn't even include a little truth to make it believable.

Hunter Biden was asked to use his FBI contacts to help his Chinese business partner arrested for bribery and money laundering. Hunter Biden was asked to use contacts in the FBI to help his Chinese business partner who was arrested for bribery and money laundering, emails reveal. The news comes as a whistleblower claims Hunter used a top former or current FBI official code-named 'One Eye' to funnel secret bureau information to his Chinese business partners. Patrick Ho — convicted of bribery and money laundering in 2018 — was secretary general of CEFC, the Chinese oil giant Hunter partnered with, and which sent the Biden family more than $5 million.

Iran Has Attacked U.S. Troops 83 Times Since Biden Became President. Iran and its proxy forces have launched 83 attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria since President Joe Biden took office, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told lawmakers on Tuesday [3/28/2023]. In response to those attacks, the U.S. military has launched four major operations against Iranian-backed groups, Austin said during a tense exchange with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Capitol Hill. "So, what kind of a signal do we think this sends to Iran when they can attack us 83 times since Joe Biden has become president and we only respond [with] four [operations]," Cotton asked Austin rhetorically. "Maybe it's because they know that we will not retaliate until they kill an American, which emboldens them to keep launching these attacks, which kill Americans."

More Proof Joe Biden Worked with Hunter. Everybody on the planet understands that Joe Biden worked directly with Hunter Biden on business deals. Without Joe, Hunter's "business" did not exist. Still, Biden the Elder continues to lie about knowing anything about Hunter's business dealings. The notion of Joe Biden knowing nothing of Hunter's business dealings defies common sense. But we do have Biden's "word as a Biden". [...] Joe Biden isn't the brightest bulb in the box. He made mistakes, and I believe his bank records or LLC tax returns will be his undoing. In other words, proof will come soon, after a forensic audit of Biden's wealth and how he got it. So America waits it out. And while some may remain skeptical given how the crooked DOJ has handled things, I predict things will heat up as the campaign season approaches.

Biden's Empty Suit Presidency Is Resetting The World Order, And Not In A Good Way. If Americans are concerned about our enemies getting bolder in their bid to disrupt the U.S.-led world order, they should thank President Joe Biden. Last week, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping traveled to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. During the meeting, the leaders outlined plans to enhance bilateral ties on issues such as trade, energy, and military cooperation. Xi and Putin furthermore agreed to support one another's "fundamental interests," specifically on matters concerning "sovereignty, territorial integrity, security and development."

Biden Makes Best Case Yet for Presidential Age Limit. Biden's penchant for inappropriate behavior is well documented, especially since 2009. Always looking for new depths of demented cringe to plumb, Biden managed to outdo not only himself, but his former boss. After the Ft. Hood shooting (the one where we weren't supposed to mention the shooter's religion) in 2009, Barack Obama infamously smiled and gave a shout out to someone in the crowd he was addressing before he got around to all of the murder and stuff. [...] There has been discussion lately about mental competency tests for members of Congress over a certain age. It's not a horrible idea. When my paternal grandfather was in his 70s, he told me that he thought all people his age should have to take a behind-the-wheel driving test to get their licenses renewed (he could still drive just fine, by the way). Yes, we're all living longer and functioning better than ever before. Most of us, anyway. Joe Biden's mental decline has been on painful display for two years now. And the idiot Democrats want him to run again. I get that — their bench is filled with varying degrees of pathetic. If his wife weren't also a horrid human being, she wouldn't want him to run again. Her elder abuse tyranny will continue, however, because she doesn't want to give up being First Lady.

Report: Rob Walker, Who Paid Biden Family Over $1M, Visited WH 16 Times During Biden Vice-Presidency. As RedState reported, banking records obtained by the House Oversight Committee regarding Biden family associates revealed that John Robinson "Rob" Walker, a business associate of Hunter Biden's whose wife served as Jill Biden's assistant, made payouts to Hunter, Jim, and Hallie Biden, as well as an as yet "unnamed" Biden, totaling over $1 million between 2015 and 2017. Those payouts came after Walker received $3 million from State Energy HK Limited, a firm affiliated with Chinese Communist Party-backed energy company CEFC China Energy.

Biden in Jocular Mood, Jokes About Ice Cream Before Statement on Nashville Shooting. An extraordinarily strange scene unfolded at the White House on Monday after the news broke that a woman claiming to be a man had murdered six people at Covenant School, a Christian school in Nashville. Old Joe Biden came out to address the Small Business Administration's Women's Business Summit, knowing that the shooting had taken place and that there were fatalities, and likewise knowing that the world was waiting and watching, expecting him to make a statement about what had happened. Instead of striking a somber note, however, asking for prayers and expressing condolences, Old Joe was positively insouciant, yukking it up with some children in the audience, kidding around about ice cream, and generally showing himself to be in splendid high spirits. Was he buoyed at the prospect of another chance to push his agenda of disarming sane and law-abiding Americans?

Ron Johnson: 'Bank from China' Voluntarily Provided Biden Family Records While U.S. Banks Won't. A bank founded by Chinese-Americans that facilitated many Biden family transactions voluntarily provided Republican investigators with Biden family bank records, a stark difference from the current practices of U.S. banks, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) revealed Sunday. Cathay Bank, which has offices in the U.S. and communist China, voluntarily provided Johnson's investigation with 200 bank records from 2017 and 2018 showing how the Biden family moved money through a complicated web of entities. The specific records revealed transactions between Hunter Biden-linked business entities and Chinese energy firm CEFC, whose top company lieutenant was the "spy chief of China," according to Hunter Biden.

Joe Biden Swan-Dives off the Deep End With Incoherent, Offensive Speech. Joe Biden spoke on Monday, and as is often the case, he really shouldn't have. The President of the United States took the podium just hours after a school shooting took place in Nashville. While there, he delivered scintillating remarks on what kind of ice cream he eats, and that was the most coherent part of his remarks.

Biden [is] Mercilessly Mocked for Tweet Claiming Republicans Would Cut Border Funding. Joe Biden is as frustrating a president as you could dream up in a lab as he constantly gives his self-satisfied Joker grin while spewing things that are often incomprehensible and just as often simply flat-out false. Sunday was no different as he — or should I say some of his staffers who think they're being sharp-witted — blasted out a tweet that was so ludicrous that the Bumbler in Chief was quickly ratioed into next month. (Ratioed means that the tweet received far more negative comments than it did positive ones.) If there's anything that sums up Biden's failed administration, it's his maladministration at the southern border, where millions of illegals have slipped through unfettered under his watch, hundreds upon hundreds are dying, and the deadly drug fentanyl is smuggled into our county in unprecedented quantities. Yet here's Joe: [Tweet]

National Archives just torpedoed Joe Biden's 'I know nothing' defense. For years, President Biden has maintained a Sgt. Schultz defense ("I know nothing, nothing!") to counter allegations that his family has profiteered on influence peddling with foreign countries and companies. Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, Biden maintains that he "knows nothing, nothing" about son Hunter Biden's business deals. He recently doubled down on this defense by even denying that family members received money from foreign sources. He repeated his denial even after the release of financial transfer reports from his own administration showing millions transferred from China. Now, emails have emerged that show that Biden personally helped draft responses to the controversial deals in 2015 when he was vice president. It also appears that Biden officials like former White House communications director Kate Bedingfield knew of his role even as the president continued to deny any involvement.

Why Is This Man Shouting? President Biden addressed the Canadian House of Commons in Ottawa yesterday. The White House has posted the transcript [elsew]here. In his remarks Biden retailed the same impoverishing ignorance and stupid shibboleths that he has sold in the United States many times over. He doesn't know shibboleths from Shinola. [Video clips]

Biden is Preparing Americans To Lose the Second Cold War. Vladimir Putin's approval rating is 82%. Joe Biden's is 42%. Xi Jinping's is anyone's guess, but the Chinese near-unanimously trust their government. More than half of Russians trust their government. Less than a third of Americans trust theirs. These statistics are not random but speak to America's imminent loss in this, the Second Cold War. The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin for war crimes in Ukraine, and Russians are as proud as ever to be Russian. Meanwhile, American pride is sinking. It has given Ukraine $76.9 billion to fight the second iteration of Russia's "Evil Empire" in a war increasingly seen as the opening proxy war in Cold War II. Why aren't Americans rallying around the flag? Pride, approval, and support for their respective flags in China and Russia, but not the same in America, is not an accident. All governments influence the memories they want their people and foreigners to have of them.

Someone doesn't know what "global" means.
Jill Biden Tells Governor General of Canada: "It's Been Really Warm Because of Global Warming in the United States". Joe and Jill Biden on Thursday traveled to Ottawa, Canada to participate in a greet with Mary Simon, the Governor General of Canada and her husband, Whit Fraser. Dr. Jill opened her big fat mouth in the beginning of the meeting and mumbled something stupid about global warming. "Well, it's been really warm because of global warming in the United States," Dr. Jill said.

Think Tank Executive Provided 'Explosive' Info to FBI About Hunter Biden's Chinese Deals, Lawyer Claims. An Israeli think tank executive claims he told the FBI in 2019 that members of the Biden family warned a Chinese energy executive about a coming federal investigation, allowing him to flee the country before being placed under arrest. Gal Luft, the co-director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, a Washington-based foreign policy think tank, provided the "explosive" details to the FBI and Justice Department in March 2019, according to his lawyer. Sources close to Luft told the Jewish News Service members of the Biden family "tipped...off" their Chinese partner, China Energy Fund Committee chairman Ye Jianming, that he was the target of an FBI probe. The details emerge as House Republicans have homed in on the Biden family's dealings with CEFC China, and amid an ongoing Justice Department probe of the troubled first son. Republicans released a report last week that a close friend of the Biden family, Rob Walker, wired millions of dollars from a CEFC-linked company in 2017 to Hunter Biden, his uncle Jim Biden, and his sister-in-law, Hallie Biden.

Comer in Shadows. Reporters Jonathan Swan and Luke Broadwater profile House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer for readers who get their news from the New York Times. Comer's investigation of the Biden family business is therefore belittled as a look into "sinister-sounding allegations against Mr. Biden and his family." Were those "sinister-sounding allegations" formerly known as "Russian disinformation"? Maybe this is a step up. "Sinister-sounding allegations" must be something like George Smathers's legendary disparagement of his opponent as "a shameless extrovert" — something designed to fool the ignorant rubes. Indeed, that is the gist of the Times profile. The profile features a photo of Comer in shadows with the New York Post cover regarding Hunter Biden's laptop blown up on a poster in the back. Comer screens readers from a full viewing of the cover. The photo is an apt metaphor for the Times's treatment of Comer and his investigation of the Biden family business.

Hidin' Biden: See How Few Interviews Biden Has Given Compared With Past Presidents. Despite appearances, Today News Africa reporter Simon Ateba isn't the only member of the White House press corps who is frustrated with a lack of access to the Biden administration. Colleagues scolded Ateba for derailing the White House press briefing on Monday with a rant about not being called on to ask questions. But just days earlier, the briefing room erupted with complaints about President Joe Biden's pattern of avoiding the news media. The New York Post explained that Thursday's "reporter revolt" came amid "mounting tension with the White House press corps over a recent dearth of meaningful access." During Biden's first two years in office, he "has given about half as many press conferences as his recent predecessors." Biden also "lags in interviews," per the Post, having granted less than a quarter as many as Donald Trump did at the same point in his presidency.

Hunter Biden used FBI mole named 'One-Eye' to tip him off to China probes: tipster. Hunter Biden had an FBI mole named "One-Eye" who tipped off his Chinese business partners that they were under investigation, according to an Israeli energy expert arrested in Cyprus last month on gunrunning charges. The House Oversight Committee is investigating the explosive claims by Dr. Gal Luft, a former Israel Defense Forces lieutenant colonel with deep intelligence ties in Washington and Beijing, who says he was arrested to stop him from revealing what he knows about the Biden family and FBI corruption — details he told the Department of Justice in 2019, which he says it ignored. Luft, 56, first made the claims on Feb. 18 on Twitter, after being detained at a Cyprus airport as he prepared to board a plane to Israel.

Report: FBI Mole Known as 'One-Eye' Would Tip Off Hunter About Any China Probes. At The New York Post, Miranda Devine wrote about an FBI mole known as "One-Eye" who would inform Hunter Biden about any China probes: [...] [Dr. Gal] Luft claimed that he tried to reach out to the DOJ about the Chinese energy company CEFC paying Hunter $100,000 and James Biden, Joe's brother, $65,000 "in exchange for their FBI connections and use of the Biden name to promote China's Belt and Road Initiative around the world." Luft came across the scheme from his friendships "with Hunter's Chinese business partners, Patrick Ho and Ye Jianming, chairman of CEFC."

Shocking New Video Reveals Joe Biden's Groping, Grooming and Dangerous Predatory Behavior with Children, Women and Young Boys. For years The Gateway Pundit has reported on the dozens of times Joe Biden has been caught on camera in public grabbing, groping, sniffing, and rubbing women children and little boys. [...] On Wednesday, [A Twitter account] linked to a recent video of child abuse expert Anthony Zenkus describing the behaviors of a child predator. His talk is interspersed with clips of Joe Biden groping, grooming, petting, grabbing, holding women, children and little boys. The mainstream media refuses to report on this obvious predatory behavior of Joe Biden. They would rather see children scarred for life than report honestly about pervert Joe Biden. Remember that the next time they try to lecture you. The fake news will NEVER report on this. They've ignored this for years to protect Joe Biden and Democrats.

Joe Biden: Guilty Of Foul Deeds. Last week, the other shoe dropped on the Biden crime family. James Comer, chairman of the committee investigating the most disturbing scandal in the history of the White House, finally received the records from a bank — one of 12 — that the Bidens have used to stash their payoffs from China's Communist dictatorship. Comer had previously been stonewalled for two years by the corrupt and incompetent Biden Treasury head, Janet Yellen. This first Biden bank record to be surrendered showed three members of the Biden family, including Beau Biden's widow Hallie and one person identified only as "Biden," received payments amounting to $1 million from a Chinese Communist State energy company. What were the payments for? Forget asking the Bidens, who have a long history of silence and denial on such material questions. When asked, Joe Biden denied he ever discussed Hunter Biden's Chinese business affairs with him, even though he flew with Hunter on Air Force Two to China and met with his business associates.

Comer demands WH 'correct' Biden's 'dishonest' denial that kin got money tied to China. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Tuesday demanded the White House "correct" a "misleading and dishonest" statement by President Biden regarding more than $1 million his relatives got from a company with ties to China's Communist Party. Comer (R-Ky.) revealed last week that fewer than two months after Biden left office as Barack Obama's vice president, State Energy HK Limited, a firm affiliated with Chinese Communist Party-backed energy company CEFC China Energy, wired $3 million to Biden family associate Rob Walker. The dough was subsequently distributed to at least three members of the Biden clan and two Biden family associates, according to bank records obtained by the Oversight Committee.

Biden Tries to Recite Poem Multiple Times, Fails Miserably in Embarrassing Spectacle. Amidst all the consternation from all sides over the possible indictment of Donald Trump, it's worth remembering that the United States is still being run by a man riddled with senility. That we are all worse off for it is assumed at this point, though it's not hard to detail how. Apparently, Bruce Springsteen was at the White House on Tuesday because that's what the current administration has devolved into. Yeah, Biden doesn't have the time to visit East Palestine or generally do his job in any real way, but he's got time for Bruce Springsteen and the cast of "Ted Lasso." Is it any wonder things are as bad as they are?

Joe Biden Lies a Lot Even for a Democrat. We're still reeling as a nation from the fact that the man who currently occupies the Oval Office has the mental capacity of a diminished gnat. If we're being honest with each other — and we always are here — Joe Biden was never the sharpest tool in the shed. A lot of what we've been witnessing since Jan. 20, 2021, gets attributed to his age but Biden has always been a no-filter loon whose grip on reality is tenuous on his best days. And he's always been a liar. Over the years, many — even conservatives — have called what Biden does "embellishment." No, he's a liar. The younger people who were duped into voting for him don't know that his 1988 presidential run was derailed because it was found that he was a big-time plagiarist in college. That's a sign of fundamental dishonesty, something that Biden has exhibited throughout his long, overrated career in Washington.

Most underreported story: Evidence of the Biden family's $ millions from China now documented with bank records. It comes as no surprise that the propaganda arm of the Democrats called the "mainstream media" has no interest in informing the American people of the gravity of the evidence piling up that Joe Biden has been bought off by the Chinese Communist Party. Thanks to the efforts of James Comer, we already have bank records of $1 million flowing to Biden family members through a cutout named Rob Walker, shortly after Biden left office as VP. There is no indication of any particular services performed for this treasure, nor is there any expertise among the recipients, who include the current POTUS's son Hunter, his brother James, Hunter's mistress-at-the time Hallie Biden (who is also his brother's widow and Biden's daughter-in-law) and an entity simply named "Biden." Rep. Comer, appearing on Maria Bartiromo's Sunday Morning Futures program on Fox News, said that this is "only the beginning." There are "as many as 11 other deals" that are being examined by his committee.

"That's Not True": President Biden Moves Toward The Evil Twin Family Defense. President Joe Biden has repeatedly denied that his family received money from China. He has also denied any knowledge of his son's foreign dealings despite direct evidence to the contrary, including a recorded message from the President to Hunter referencing the deals. The White House has simply refused to address the recording or photographs contradicting the President. Now, there is confirmation that millions were sent from China and then money from a third-party account was distributed to at least three, and possibly four, Biden family members. However, when confronted with the evidence on the way to Marine One, the President again declared "that's not true." Given that these are suspicious activity reports (SARs) from Biden's own Treasury Department, it is unclear now what the President is suggesting beyond the possibility of an evil twin Biden family that is besmirching his good name.

Guilty. Last week another shoe dropped on the Biden crime family. James Comer, chairman of the committee investigating the most disturbing scandal in the history of the White House finally received the records from a bank — one of twelve — that the Bidens have used to stash their payoffs from China's Communist dictatorship. Comer had previously been stone-walled for two years by the corrupt and incompetent Biden Treasury head, Janet Yellen.

What were the payments for? Forget asking the Bidens who have a long history of silence and denial on such material questions.

A Failed Presidency In 20 Seconds. Yesterday Joe Biden made the mistake of listening to a question from a reporter at the White House, and briefly trying to answer. I understand that the reporter was from another country; I don't suppose a liberal American "reporter" would be so bold as to question Slow Joe on the subject of his China connections: [Video clip] First, even in this very brief clip, Biden's mental and physical incapacity are on display. He may only be 80 years old, but he is an old 80. Second, Biden answers "It's not true." But it is true. A single Chinese entity paid Biden's family well over $1 million. That has been documented. And for what? Hunter's sober judgment? Brother James's financial acumen? Hallie's good looks? Obviously, the only reason why foreign companies and governments have showered money on the Biden family is Joe's perceived power. And his influence has been real. When the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma desperately wanted a meeting with a high-level State Department official, it invoked the fact that the vice-president's son was on its board of directors, and it got the meeting. Why else do you think the pathetic, drug-addled Hunter, who knew nothing about natural gas and didn't speak Ukrainian, was worth $1 million a year to a Ukrainian natural gas company? Joe Biden has been a corrupt politician for a long time, probably decades.

Establishment Media Continue Defending Biden Family Business Scandal. The establishment media have continued to defend the Biden family business schemes from House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer's (R-KY) probe, calling the findings "debunked," "phony," and "wild." Comer's investigation, launched in November, has begun to yield results. This week, Comer revealed the Biden family business received a $3 million wire transfer and subsequent payments from a Chinese energy company between 2015 and 2017 upon receiving Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) from the Treasury and subpoenaed records from Bank of America. The $3 million payment was in turn split between four Biden family members — Hunter, James, Hallie, and an unidentified "Biden" — from State Energy HK Limited. The family members received $1.3 million collectively.

Is it because he's a chronic liar, or because he's venal and corrupt?
Biden skewered as 'world's worst Catholic' who cheapens Irish and Catholic identity. As the Irish diaspora around the world prepared to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, a writer at The Telegraph scorched President Biden for being the "worst" public representative of Irish Catholicism's legacy. Pennsylvania-born Biden has professed his Catholic roots and Irish heritage multiple times. Shortly after his inauguration in 2021, the White House invited a professional bagpiper for St. Patrick's Day, much like many Irish-American events that mix general Celtic traditions, to which Biden replied, "They really know how to make an Irishman feel special at the White House." He has also made the internet cringe with statements like "I may be Irish, but I'm not stupid." [Tweet]

The coming Trump arrest is a very dangerous power play. The economy was booming, China was being constrained, illegal immigration was diminishing, peace was blossoming in the Middle East, and there were no new wars or concentration camps. Something needed to be done. Enter COVID. Democrats use COVID to shut down the economy, close schools, censor speech, and institute mail-in balloting that, in many states, was illegal according to their own constitutions. Most significantly, they use the self-inflicted death of a felon with major heart disease who'd taken fatal levels of illegal drugs as an excuse to launch the BLM revolution. And it was a revolution, designed to overthrow the government through hysterical racial division and attacks on America's infrastructure: cities burned, and activists targeted the White House, law enforcement, and the federal judiciary. The election results are ludicrous. A hugely successful president who managed rallies with tens of thousands of people despite COVID and who had caused significant numbers of minorities to cross to his side lost to a corrupt, demented, racist, and very stupid puppet who campaigned from his basement, in an election riddled with manifest problems, everything from mail-in voting (with all the evidence and envelopes immediately and illegally destroyed), to counting stoppages in the middle of the night.

CNN: China funneling the Bidens money is A-OK! The narrative about that huge flow of money from China to Joe Biden's family has coalesced: "what's the big deal?" It's perfectly normal for our biggest adversary to secretly send money to the Vice President and then President's family. I mean, if you could help support the Bidens with a bit of extra cash, wouldn't you? [Tweet] Besides, the money involved came from a Chinese energy company, and we all know that Hunter Biden has extensive knowledge of energy companies, given his experience helping Burisma. The very same Burisma that was under investigation in Ukraine, until Joe Biden forced the Ukraine government to fire the prosecutor investigating it. [Tweet]

James Comer shows that the Biden family business is corruption. Bravo to Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) for revealing just how much of a family business Biden, Inc. is. Bank records newly obtained by his House Oversight Committee show that Hunter Biden associate Rob Walker transferred north of $1.3 million in 2017 not only to usual suspects Hunter and presidential little brother Jim but also to daughter-in-law Hallie (son Beau's widow; Hunter's brief fling) — plus an unknown simply tagged as "Biden." The family that gets paid together stays together, it seems. Most of that big chunk of change came from a $3 million transfer from an affiliate of Chinese energy outfit CEFC to Walker. CEFC, now defunct, was one of China's biggest private companies and a main target of Hunter Biden's operations back in 2017, with the First Son angling for a ultra-high-paid board seat and equity stakes for him and Jim and an unnamed "big guy" widely thought to be Joe.

The Editor says...
The Big Guy is "thought to be Joe" [Biden], says the New York Post Editorial Board, cautiously. Obviously it's Joe Biden. Who in the Biden organization is bigger than Joe? Who among them has more influence to peddle?

Corruption does the talking for Joe Biden. "He can run but he can't hide," legendary boxer Joe Louis once said about an opponent. These days, the same thing might be said about the president of the United States. At a crucial moment of his tenure, Joe Biden is repeatedly refusing to take questions. The odd ducking and weaving have even the normally docile White House press corps in an uproar. Why won't he answer us, they demand to know. The question answers itself — Biden won't face the media because he's got something to hide. But as with Joe Louis' opponents, running won't work. For despite Biden's efforts, day by day, drip by drip, his dirty secret is coming into view.

Government Tyrants Play with Fire. If there were not a two-tier "justice" system that exists only to protect Deep State friends and demolish Uniparty enemies, Joe Biden's notorious reputation over the last half-century as a bought-and-paid-for stooge of foreign governments and domestic crime syndicates — with a family of drug users and reprobates who profit solely from his politically-protected name — would have at least kept him far from the White House, if not serving time in prison. [...] Taking bribes from Chinese communists? No problem. Laundering money through Ukraine? No big deal. Fabricating an international conspiracy framing Donald Trump as a Russian spy? What's the harm? Selling America out to her enemies in Iran, China, and anywhere else politicians and their corporate patrons can make a buck? By all means!

It looks like Joe Biden committed tax fraud. It's undisputed that the Biden family was taking money from foreign governments. The clearest example is Hunter, who received about $11 million from entities associated with the Chinese and Ukrainian governments, according to NBC News. He failed to pay income tax on at least some of this money. It's also undisputed that the emails in Hunter's notorious laptop referenced "the big guy" at least 41 times in connection with foreign money, and that "the big guy" is his father Joe. It's undisputed that at least one such email refers to "10% for the big guy." [...] That said, it's hard to prove the crime of political bribery. That's because it requires more than (1) the payment of money to a politician and (2) action by the politician that benefits the payor. If that were all it took, the heads of the teachers' unions would have been sent to jail long ago. It takes a third element: It takes proof that the action taken by the politician was in consideration of the money paid to him.

Comer demands Rob Walker, Biden biz associate behind China cash, detail Joe's role. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Friday demanded that Biden family business associate Rob Walker submit to questioning about his role in distributing more than $1 million from China to at least three of President Biden's relatives. Subpoenaed bank records indicate Walker, an ex-Clinton administration official, distributed Chinese funds in early 2017 to President Biden's brother James Biden, son Hunter Biden and daughter-in-law Hallie Biden — with $70,000 going to an unidentified Biden whose first name was not specified. "The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating President Biden's involvement in his family's business practices [and] has identified you as a critical witness in this matter," Comer (R-Ky.) wrote to Walker.

Businessman Suspected of Kicking Back Chinese Cash to Bidens Asked to Testify by House Oversight. House Oversight Committee James Comer (R., Ky.) on Friday sent a letter to Biden family associate Rob Walker asking him to participate in a transcribed interview with Committee staff, one day after subpoenaed bank records revealed Walker doled out more than a $1 million to Biden family members after receiving a $3 million payout from a Chinese energy company. "Rob Walker is a key witness in our investigation of President Biden's involvement in his family's business schemes," Comer said in a statement on Friday. "After receiving a $3 million dollar payout from a Chinese energy company two months after Vice President Biden left office, Rob Walker then sent over a million dollars in incremental payments to Biden family accounts and a similar amount to another Biden family associate."

Hunter Biden Admits to Biden Family's China Deals for $Millions After Years of Denial. Hunter Biden on Thursday admitted and then justified the Biden family's multi-million dollar business with Chinese entities close to the Chinese Communist Party after years of denial. [...] Hunter's statement is a public relations attempt to push back on House Oversight Committee James Comer's (R-KY) confirmation that the Biden family business received a $3 million wire transfer from a Chinese energy company and subsequent payments afterPresident Joe Biden left the vice presidency in 2017. Comer has also found evidence that shows the Biden family business received $179,836.86 while Joe Biden was in the White House.

The Bidens and Biden associates who received Chinese cash. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed on Thursday that on March 1, 2017 — less than two months after Joe Biden left office as Barack Obama's vice president — State Energy HK Limited, a firm affiliated with Chinese Communist Party-backed energy company CEFC China Energy, wired $3 million to Biden family associate Rob Walker. The windfall was subsequently divvied up over a period of about three months to at least three members of the Biden clan, and two Biden family associates.

Hunter Biden Accuses Delaware Computer Repairman Of 'Invading' His Privacy In Countersuit. Hunter Biden has countersued a Delaware-based computer repairman, alleging that John Paul Mac Isaac violated his privacy by accessing and disseminating data held in Biden's laptop. Biden's attorneys filed the suit in response to a lawsuit Mac Isaac filed against Biden in late January, according to ABC News. Mac Isaac sued Biden for defamation, claiming that the son of the U.S. president unfairly and illegally targeted Mac Isaac and damaged his reputation for years with repeated claims that a laptop Biden left at Mac Isaac's repair store could have been stolen or hacked. Biden's 42-page suit, filed on Friday, describes how the laptop became the center of a series of stories beginning in October 2020 about Biden's life and overseas business dealings in countries such as Ukraine and China. The laptop is now a key component of House Republicans' investigations into President Joe Biden.

In other words, Hunter admits the laptop is authentic, and it was his — until he forfeited it.
Hunter Biden Sues Delaware Laptop Repairman over Leaked Files. Hunter Biden filed a lawsuit Friday against the computer repairman, John Paul Mac Isaac, who turned over files on a laptop Hunter left at his shop to the New York Post ahead of the 2020 presidential election. Hunter Biden "had more than a reasonable expectation of privacy that any data that he created or maintained," reads the lawsuit filed with a Delaware federal court Friday morning. The president's son was under the impression it "would not be accessed, copied, disseminated, or posted on the Internet for others to use against him or his family or for the public to view." Lawyers representing Hunter Biden have challenged Mac Isaac's assertion that his failure to retrieve the laptop after 90 days granted the Delaware repairman its ownership.

The Editor says...
Does anyone thing that was the last laptop Hunter Biden ever owned? Of course not. I wonder what's on his new laptop today.

Biden pours cold water on bank transactions showing son Hunter and daughter-in-law Hallie got cut of $1 million in Chinese cash. President Joe Biden on Friday pushed back on a Republican report that members of his family received more than $1 million in payments from China, saying it wasn't 'true.' 'That's not true,' Biden said when asked about it as he left the White House to spend the weekend at his home in Wilmington, Del. He was responding to a report House Republicans released on Thursday that showed the president's Hunter Biden, Beau Biden's widow Hallie and other relatives of the president's family received more than $1 million in 2017 from an associate who had entered into a business deal with a Chinese energy company.

Wonder why most of the media aren't trusted? Because most of the media continue to show how much they are in the tank for Joe Biden. This week, Republicans have shown millions of dollars in transfers to the Biden family from China, and yet it doesn't make the nightly news. [...] Hunter got paid millions from a corrupt company in Ukraine for a no-show job, and the media and other Democrats didn't care. Joe bragged about extorting Ukraine with a billion dollars in taxpayer money if they didn't fire a prosecutor investigating the company that paid Hunter millions — and the media and other Democrats didn't care. Not only did the media and other Democrats not care about the pure corruption and kickbacks from Ukraine, but Trump was also impeached for even asking about it. The wife of a Moscow mayor pays Hunter $3 million, and the media and other Democrats don't care. The Hunter laptop story shows that Hunter used some of his money to pay Dad's bills and that some deals involved giving 10% to the big guy. Not only do the media, the Justice Department, and other Democrats not care about the story, but they and social media intentionally buried the story so the public wouldn't see it before the election.

Joe Biden Can Be Impeached for Bribery. News Thursday of payments from a Chinese Communist Party-linked company to members of President Joe Biden's family amounts to a potential case for bribery, an impeachable offense under the Constitution. The House Oversight Committee revealed that in 2017, China's State Energy HK Limited sent $3 million to a company controlled by family associate Robert Walker, who in turn distributed funds to members of Biden's family: his surviving son, Hunter; his brother, James; his daughter-in-law, Hallie; and an unknown "Biden." State Energy HK Limited was linked to CEFC China Energy, whose chairman, Ye Jianming, did business with Hunter Biden. CEFC was also involved in an abandoned joint venture with the Biden family in which someone referred to as the "big guy," and presumed to be then-former Vice President Biden, was to have a 10% stake.

Hallie Biden, Beau's Widow and Hunter's Ex, and an Unnamed Biden Received Money From Chinese Energy Company. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told The New York Post that Hallie Biden, Beau's widow and Hunter's former flame, is a family member who received money from a China energy company in 2017: [...] The records do not name the other Biden family members. So right now, we know Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Hallie Biden got Chinese cash. The unknown Biden received $70,000 between March and May 2017. Hunter's "Owasco P.C." account got $500,000 and James's "JBBSR INC" account got $360,000 during that timeframe. A source told Fox News the "First Clearing LLC" that received $100,000 belongs to Hunter as well. James and Hunter received $4.8 million from CEFC Chica Energy in 2017 and 2018. Hunter and Hallie hooked up in 2016 a year after Beau's death and while Hunter was still married. They split in 2019.

ESG Will Bankrupt You — Financially and Morally. The biggest little bank you had never heard of was a key bank to the small and medium-sized businesses in the tech industry. Remember, the FDIC guarantees up to $250,000 per account. But, in a jaw-dropping move, Biden bailed out all accounts in a change not contemplated by the FDIC act. Is this to be the new FDIC standard? Where did Biden get such authority, and is this yet another abuse of his presidential powers? Where's Congress in all of this? Given Biden's extra-lawful money grabs, why have a Congress at all? Early information about the bank's demise gives a definite and suspected reason. Long-term bonds, issued at low yields, secured many of the bank's assets. When liquidated early to cover cash calls, SVB suffered huge losses. Why did SVB need cash? Because the government spent trillions it did not have making the money supply massively inflated, thus creating runaway inflation.

Biden Family Got Over $1M in Chinese Wire Payments. The House Oversight Committee is digging into the Biden family business. Its latest revelations raise some interesting questions. The Oversight Committee stated that, "Bank records we've obtained reveal Rob Walker, a Biden family associate, used his company to transfer money from a Chinese energy company to Hunter Biden, James Biden, Hallie Biden, and an unknown Biden." [...] And then there's Hailie Biden, Beau Biden's widow who took up with Hunter. While Hunter and James Biden were in business, wiring money to Hailie suggests an attempt to disguise money going to Hunter or an attempt to bypass him, or a larger business relationship involving the Biden family. Hence the missing 4th Biden.

House Oversight Receives Bank Records Showing Biden Family [was] Paid by Chinese Energy Company. The House Oversight Committee released records today outlining how the Biden family was paid by a Chinese energy company. The bank records indicate payments to Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden; Joe Biden's brother, James Biden; Joe Biden's daughter-in-law, Hallie Biden, and an unknown "Biden;" likely the principal, "big guy", Joe Biden himself.

Biden's Lie of the Day. President Biden is a pathological liar. His account of the epiphany that led him to support gay marriage is only the most recent example, though it was classic and blatant. Indeed, it was so blatant as to be laughable. I have a high level of confidence that Biden lies every time he speaks in public. Take yesterday's Remarks on Lowering Prescription Drugs Costs in Las Vegas — please. It is difficult to choose one statement from these remarks as Biden's lie of the day. His dad banging on the headboard of his bed when he lost his health insurance strikes me as one among many, but I can't prove it.

Elections Have Consequences; Stolen Elections Have Catastrophes. "Put the adults back in charge," they whined. "Donald Trump will break the world," they lied. Well, they manipulated election rules to certify suspicious vote totals that preposterously portrayed senile Joe Biden as the most popularly elected president in history; censored and locked up anyone who complained; and covered up their crimes with J6 show trials drenched in untruths meant to hide from history the Uniparty's underhanded machinations in outright stealing a presidential election. The whole mess was so banana-republic-yucky that Biden was inaugurated behind barbed wire and a show of military force befitting the small junta who attended the successful coup's celebration. And as a result of the Uniparty's installation of Dementia Joe as White House marionette, the American people have been plagued with crime, inflation, political persecution, COVID tyranny, deadly battlefield retreat, open borders, staggering drug deaths, proxy wars, bankruptcies, bank runs, endless new regulations, a plummeting standard of living, economic panic, and social volatility.

Comer says '6 or 7 Biden family members' may have been involved in overseas business schemes. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer believes that more than half a dozen members of the Biden clan may have been involved in various worldwide business schemes that profited off their family name. Comer, whose committee is investigating the Biden family's business dealings, shared the insight in a Wednesday night [3/15/2023] interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham. "At the end of this I think we're gonna see there are probably six or seven Biden family members that were involved in various business schemes around the world," Comer (R-Ky.) told Ingraham, referring to his panel's far-reaching probe. Comer didn't mention any names in the interview and declined to reveal the identity of the unnamed Biden family member who got proceeds from a $3 million wire to Hunter Biden associate John "Rob" Walker just weeks after Joe Biden left the vice presidency in 2017.

Judicial Watch Continues to Push for Testimony on Secret University of Delaware Deal with Joe Biden to Hide Senate Records. Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a reply brief on behalf of the Daily Caller News Foundation and itself in the Supreme Court of Delaware asking for limited discovery, including, at a minimum, deposing a university representative. In July 2020 Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation filed a Delaware Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit after the university denied their April 2020 requests for all of Biden's Senate records and for records about the preservation and any proposed release of the records, including communications with Biden or his representatives.

Biden 2020 campaign had 'surreptitious involvement' in Russian disinfo hoax surrounding Post's Hunter laptop story: FEC complaint. Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign had "surreptitious involvement" in organizing a letter written by 51 former intelligence officials that falsely claimed the New York Post's story about Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation, according to a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday [3/15/2023]. The complaint, from lawyers for former President Donald Trump, asks the FEC to record the infamous "Dirty 51" letter as an "in-kind contribution" to Biden's campaign because it allegedly was used to influence the outcome of the election. The Oct. 19, 2020, letter was signed by 51 ex-spooks, including five former or acting CIA directors — John Brennan, Leon Panetta, Mike Hayden, John McLoughlin and Mike Morell — as well as James Clapper, the one-time director of national intelligence.

There's No Liar Like A Biden. How do we know when Joe Biden is lying? When he says he gives us his word as a Biden. But that's not the only time he spins a whopper. He says something untrue quite regularly, the most recent instance a tall tale about his "epiphany" regarding gay marriage. When asked about his "evolution on marriage equality" during an interview on Monday night's "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central, Biden radically revised his personal history so that he would appear to have been woke for more than a half century. Our president (how did such a thing ever happen?) said he "hadn't thought much about" same-sex marriage until his "senior in high school." [...] This "epiphany" is similar to Biden's claims about his grand contributions to the civil rights movement. He's said a number of times that he was an activist, even as a teen. He's even told stories about participating in marches and being arrested multiple times at civil rights protests, once in South Africa where he was trying to visit Nelson Mandela in prison.

Speaker McCarthy: Administration 'Fighting Every Step of the Way' Against Biden Family Business Investigations. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told Breitbart News last week that Democrat President Joe Biden's administration has been "fighting" against transparency "every step of the way" with GOP investigators probing the president's family business dealings. McCarthy's interview, taped on Wednesday [3/15/2023] in the ceremonial U.S. House Speaker's office, came before the Treasury Department finally, after weeks, relented and agreed to provide the many Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) on Biden family members' bank transactions.

Second-Worst President in History Asks the Worst President to Deliver His Eulogy. In his characteristically clumsy fashion, Old Joe Biden has revealed that former President Jimmy Carter has bestowed upon him a singular honor: "He asked me to do his eulogy — excuse me, I shouldn't say that," Biden said at a fundraiser in Rancho Santa Fe, California on Tuesday. When that day arrives, no matter how poorly Old Joe delivers what is certain to be a farrago of lies, half-truths, historical revisionism, and self-serving distortion, there will be a certain fitting aspect to the entire occasion: the previous holder of the title of Worst President in American History will be eulogized by the current holder of the title.

Oversight Committee Chairman Has an Update About Its Biden Family Probe. Rep. James Comer, Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said the Treasury Department agreed to hand over suspicious activity reports for the Biden family and their business partners. "After two months of dragging their feet, the Treasury Department is finally providing us with access to the suspicious activity reports for the Biden family and their associates' business transactions," said Comer, who requested the information in January. "It should never have taken us threatening to hold a hearing and conduct a transcribed interview with an official under the penalty of perjury for Treasury to finally accommodate part of our request." The Kentucky Republican has been pressuring Treasury to comply for weeks, again contacting the department last month about the "lack of accommodations," and calling on a Treasury Department official earlier this month to appear for a transcribed interview to explain why the requested information was not provided.

James Comer Reveals New Biden Family Member Has Emerged in Probe. It appears that the Biden family's shady business dealings overseas involve more than just Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. According to Fox News, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, (R-Ky) has revealed that a new family member (who is so-far unnamed) is somehow involved. Comer is spearheading an investigation into the Biden family for alleged "influence peddling," and says that a new family member outside of Hunter and Joe has been implicated. However, he is currently declining to identify which family member it is. The discovery comes after a mysterious $3 million dollar payment was sent to three Biden family members. The reason for this mysterious payment has not been revealed either, but the findings certainly raise suspicions.

Speculation mounts over ID of 'new' Biden family member who got cut of $3M wire. It's Washington's newest guessing game: Who is the unnamed Biden family member who got proceeds from a $3 million wire to Hunter Biden associate John "Rob" Walker weeks after Joe Biden left the vice presidency in 2017? House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) first revealed Monday that bank records obtained via subpoena implicate a "new Biden family member" in the panel's probe of the first son's alleged influence-peddling scheme. Comer is expected to reveal the person's name at some point but has not yet announced specific plans to do so, leaving the door open to speculation about who else could have been on the receiving end.

Biden: Worse than Jimmy Carter. There are striking parallels — and contrasts — between Jimmy Carter's leadership during the 1970s Oil Crisis and Joe Biden's initiatives during the current "Climate" Crisis. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) instigated the 1973 crisis in U.S. gasoline prices that sparked inflation, and Jimmy Carter responded by supporting conservation and alternative energy plans (as well as a shift to "plentiful coal"). In contrast, Joe Biden seeded current fuel price inflation with wasteful overspending and attacks on oil production, and embraces yet more inefficient spending on renewable manufacturing projects that accelerate pollution and increase American vulnerability to China and Russia. [...] Liberal media seek to compare Biden's policies to Carter's, presenting the current energy crisis as one in which Joe Biden is similarly the victim of conditions beyond his control.

James Comer: Treasury Reports Show Biden Family Made Millions from Chinese Company After 2016. The Biden family business received a $3 million wire transfer from a Chinese energy company and subsequent payments after President Joe Biden left the vice presidency in 2017, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) announced upon receiving suspicious activity reports from the Treasury this week. U.S. banks have flagged over 150 SARs from Hunter and James Biden that included "large" amounts of money flagged for further review. According to a 2020 Senate report, SARs "often contain evidence of potential criminal activities, such as money laundering and fraud."

Biden Says Opposing the Mutilation of Children Is 'Close to Sinful'. Old Joe Biden appeared on Comedy Central's The Daily Show Monday night, where the guest host Kal Penn [...] asked him about same-sex marriage and boys who want to become girls and girls boys. In response, Biden struck a moral tone, suggesting that support for same-sex marriage and the genital mutilation of children in pursuit of delusions and fantasies was simply the decent position to take, and [indeed], Lunchbucket Joe didn't see why it had to be any more complicated than that. As we have all come to expect by now, Biden lied when he told a story that he has told before about his alleged "epiphany" on same-sex marriage.

Investigators score big win as Treasury turns over secret bank records flagging Hunter Biden deals. The Biden Treasury Department ended weeks of foot dragging Tuesday by agreeing to provide congressional investigators with access to secret bank records that flagged suspicious overseas financial transactions involving Hunter Biden and the first family. House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer announced the deal to let his investigators access the so-called Suspicious Activity Reports in a secure reading room. "After two months of dragging their feet, the Treasury Department is finally providing us with access to the suspicious activity reports for the Biden family and their associates' business transactions," Comer said Tuesday morning.

U.S. Treasury to Release Biden Family's Suspicious Bank Reports to House Oversight Committee. The Treasury Department will comply and release suspicious activity reports (SARs) generated by the Biden family and their associates' business transactions to the House Oversight Committee, Breitbart News has learned. The Treasury's compliance to disclose the SARs is a massive development in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into the Biden family business to determine if President Joe Biden is compromised by communist China. The committee is investigating the Biden family business for nine violations, including wire fraud and money laundering.

Treasury gives House GOP access to Biden family suspicious activity reports. The Treasury Department has agreed to let House Oversight Committee members review suspicious activity reports pertaining to President Biden's family, panel Chairman James Comer announced Tuesday [3/14/2023]. The records submitted by banks to the US government may contain new bombshells on the first family's murky foreign income and the millions reaped by first son Hunter Biden and first brother James Biden in countries where their powerful relative held sway. "After two months of dragging their feet, the Treasury Department is finally providing us with access to the suspicious activity reports for the Biden family and their associates' business transactions," Comer (R-Ky.) said.

Congress Caught Off-Guard by Biden's $5 Trillion Tax Increase Proposal. Joe Biden's $6.8 trillion annual budget proposal, which included a proposed increase of $5 trillion in taxes in order to fund it all, surprised many in Congress due to drastically overshooting what he was expected to ask for. As reported by The Hill, the unexpected proposal only creates greater risks for Democrats in the 2024 elections, as Biden presumably prepares for a re-election bid and his party seeks to defend 23 seats in the U.S. Senate, including many red-state seats. The new proposal, some say, would only exacerbate ongoing economic woes, including inflation and high tax rates, putting an even greater strain on the average American household's finances. However, Biden has vowed that he would not raise taxes on anyone making more [sic] than $400,000 a year. Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) described the Biden administration's proposal as "jaw-dropping," declaring it to be "exactly the wrong approach to solving our fiscal problems."

The Editor says...
Everything Biden does is "exactly the wrong approach" to any problem. It must be intentional. Nobody is that stupid.

Tom Cotton: Biden Administration Won't Commit to Not Bailing Out Chinese SVB Investors. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said in a tweet Monday that the Biden administration refused to commit to not bailing out Chinese companies that invested in Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) with American taxpayer money. "It's well known that SVB funneled American money into Chinese companies," Cotton tweeted. "I pressed the Biden administration today to commit not to bailout Chinese companies with money from Arkansas's taxpayers, but they refused. Which tells you that's exactly what President Biden plans to do," he said.

Are Taxpayers Funding Natalie Biden's Spring Break Trip to San Diego? Biden's granddaughter flew on Air Force One and is traveling with the president to and from San Diego, official events, and a DNC fundraiser, and Karine Jean-Pierre doesn't know whether Natalie's cross-country spring break trip is being paid for by taxpayers who've been crushed by inflation and are having to slim down their own vacation plans? There's been much ado about incumbent presidents of both parties using Air Force One for campaign trips, or, as Biden is doing on Monday, pairing official travel with a partisan reception to defray unofficial travel costs. Campaigns are supposed to reimburse taxpayers for unofficial travel aboard Air Force One, but the formula used by the Treasury Department to determine whether or how much of a trip is "official" and how much needs to be reimbursed is not public. What's more, reporters who travel aboard Air Force One while covering the president pay for their travel.

House Oversight Committee has 'documents that show just exactly how the Biden family was getting money from the Chinese Communist Party'. Documentary proof of an American president getting paid off by our greatest strategic rival, if not enemy, is no small matter. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, said some pretty important things yesterday, appearing on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News Channel. Despite being stonewalled by Janet Yellen over release of Suspicious Activity Reports from banks about Hunter Biden's transactions, he has gotten evidence about Biden family receipt of money from the CCP. What encourages me about his revelation is that there now are key forces within the Democrat establishment (which includes the legacy media) that see Joe Biden as a problem to be removed. His worsening dementia is becoming impossible to hide, and his (really Dr. Jill's?) determination to run for re-election seems likely to doom not only the presidential prospects of the party, but its congressional prospects as well. A wipeout, especially if either Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis were to occupy the Oval Office with congressional majorities, could lead to doom for the party if it results in exposure of its mendacity. Both men play for keeps with their opponents.

James Comer says docs show 'Biden family was getting money from CCP'. House Oversight Committee chair James Comer claimed Sunday on Fox News that he has evidence proving that President Joe Biden's family has profited from the Chinese Communist Party. [Video clip]

Ted Cruz Says Biden 'Certainly' Isn't Running the White House After New Budget Proposal. Ted Cruz acknowledged what the majority of us have long known: Biden is a puppet leader. Cruz criticizes the projected $6.8 trillion budget of the Biden administration on social media, claiming he no longer runs the White House. Cruz, R-Texas, asserted that President Biden's budget for the 2024 fiscal year indicated that "socialists are in charge" and that he had failed to fulfill his vow to unite the two major parties. The budget, as stated by Cruz, boosts taxes and increases expenditure to record levels for the socialist economic, education, climate, and healthcare agenda.

I've heard this before.
Some Walls Might Be Closing in on the Biden Crime Family. We here on the right have long known that the Biden family has business ties all over the place that are rather unsavory. Honestly, most people on the left do, too; they just don't care. That's why various forms of leftmedia were scrambling before the 2020 election to pretend Hunter Biden's laptop was a nothingburger story. Their overreaction was the only reaction we needed to know we were correct. There is no bombshell news, but it looks like some progress has been made in exposing the depths of the Biden business depravity, especially when it comes to the commies in the country with which we will soon be fighting a war.

Poll: One-Third of Democrats Believe Joe Biden Has 'Conflict of Interest' with China. One-third of Democrats believe President Biden has a "conflict of interest" with China potentially affecting his administration's response to China's "aggressive actions against the U.S.," a Convention of States Action/Trafalgar Group survey released this week found. The survey asked respondents, "Due to the Biden family's business relationships with China, do you believe President Biden has a conflict of interest when responding to China's aggressive actions against the U.S.?" Across the board, 57.2 percent said "yes," Biden has a conflict of interest. 33.5 percent do not believe he does, and 9.3 percent said they are not sure.

Dem. Rep. Dan Goldman Has an Added Interest in Sinking Oversight Investigations Into Biden. For those who watched Thursday's [3/9/2023] Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government hearing regarding the Twitter Files, the arrogant, dismissive, (and hilariously ignorant) attitude on display by the subcommittee's Democrat members was hard to stomach. While most hearings are dog and pony shows to some degree, the Dems' seek-and-destroy mission aimed at undermining the credibility of witnesses Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger and muddying the waters was blatant. As a former Democrat (of the "classical liberal" variety) the disdain for journalistic ethics and best practices and utter indifference to the gross governmental overreach revealed by the Twitter Files demonstrated by the Democrats who questioned (or, rather, bellowed at and over) Taibbi and Shellenberger made my blood boil. There were no liberal ideals on display Thursday — at least not by the Democrats. And the irony that their ire was directed at two decidedly-non-Republican witnesses simply because they've dared question the authoritarian methodology embraced by the "progressive" ruling class was thick.

Recent First Ladies and Their Academic Degrees. I am frankly amazed at the intellectual ineptitude revealed by our recent Democrat First Ladies' degree-awarded ventures in academic exposition and by the media adulation they have received for their efforts. Having recently published an analysis of Jill Biden's doctoral dissertation, pointing out its utter inadequacy, I find it comes as no surprise that former First Lady Michelle Obama considers it a work of substantial merit and heaps accolades on Biden as "a brilliant woman who has distinguished herself in her profession."

It's Not Hard to See the Future of America Under this Manchurian President. President Biden is not only compromised but exemplifies the ultimate Manchurian President. I also see him as a traitor to our nation — plain and simple. His actions and deeds, controlled by those we do not yet see, are purposefully destroying our democracy, legal system, freedoms, independence, and republic. [...][ It's evident that Biden is but a simple puppet, a marionette. The question is, who exactly are the puppeteer(s) pulling his strings? I also believe Biden, like his son, is compromised by the Chinese and the Russians. Just look at the actions he's taken since January 2021. [...] Whomever his puppeteers are, they are undoubtedly far left, not favorable towards America, view our Constitution with disdain, and look to change America forever. They pull the strings of their marionette named Biden, the Manchurian President, from behind the red Marxist and fascist curtains. The strings are pulled to purposefully change America from a champion of liberty, opportunity, freedom, and democracy to an autocracy, dictatorship, and tyrannical system.

J6 lies are part of a much bigger pattern. The scandalous information on Hunter Biden's laptop was authentic and revealed President Joe Biden's compromised positions with Ukraine and China; we're now funding a war in Ukraine to the tune of almost $200 billion, and just this week, China has threatened "confrontation and conflict." Democrats got the Hunter Biden laptop censored because it threatened Joe Biden's presidential campaign.

TikTok Hires Firm With Biden Connections Amid Increasing Scrutiny in Washington - Reports. Social media app TikTok hired a prominent consulting firm with connections to US President Biden as it faces increasing scrutiny in Washington, Politico reported. The firm, called SKDK, deals with both public affairs and political consulting and was hired in the last few months to provide communications support for TikTok, which has been fielding criticism from US senators focused on restricting or banning the app from use in the United States, the report said, citing two people, including one with direct knowledge of the hire. Seen as a well-connected Democratic firm in Washington who has represented heavy-hitting companies such as Starbucks and Amazon, SKDK has many former employees in senior and mid-level positions in the Biden administration, according to the report.

Cruz: Biden Enriched Cartels Whose Revenue Increased 26x Since 2018, We Need to Pressure Mexico, Not Invade It. On Tuesday's broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "Jesse Watters Primetime," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) stated that President Joe Biden "is the best thing that ever happened to the Mexican drug cartels" and cited the massive surge in cartel revenue since 2018 and argued that the solution to cartel violence isn't to invade Mexico or go to war with it, but rather, to pressure the country to act against cartel violence. Cruz said, "Well, listen, those who kill American citizens must be held accountable. And, at the first instance, this wouldn't happen if we had responsible presidential leadership. Joe Biden created the chaos at the border. Joe Biden stopped building the wall. He reinstated catch and release. He pulled out of Remain in Mexico. And what Joe Biden has done is he's turned these vicious narcoterrorists into multibillionaires. [...]"

Treasury official ordered to appear for Hunter Biden interview under penalty of perjury. A top House Republican investigator is demanding that a Treasury Department official appear for a transcribed interview related to the department's refusal to hand over suspicious activity reports on Hunter Biden. Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, had set a hearing for this Friday for Treasury Department Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs Jonathan Davidson to testify, but the GOP investigator revealed that Davidson refused to appear, so Comer is now demanding that Davidson testify before his committee next Tuesday under penalty of perjury. "Treasury Department officials have repeatedly said that they are cooperating with the committee's request but all we've seen is obstruction," Comer said Tuesday evening. "We've offered multiple good faith accommodations, but Treasury continues to provide excuses and employ delay tactics. We are done with the excuses and calling on Assistant Secretary Jonathan Davidson to answer questions under the penalty of perjury next week."

House Oversight delays hearing on Biden family business dealings. The House Oversight and Accountability Committee has postponed a hearing into the Biden family's business dealings. The hearing, titled "The Biden Family Investigation: The Department of the Treasury," was supposed to be held on Friday at 9 a.m., but committee staff told the Washington Examiner it was delayed because the requested witness refused to attend that day. "Treasury Department officials have repeatedly said that they are cooperating with the Committee's request but all we've seen is obstruction," Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said in a statement released the day before. "We've offered multiple good faith accommodations, but Treasury continues to provide excuses and employ delay tactics. We are done with the excuses and calling on Assistant Secretary Jonathan Davidson to answer questions under the penalty of perjury next week."

A Shockingly Low Percentage of Americans Think Old Joe Biden Is Really Running Things. In previous administrations throughout the history of the United States, the question didn't even come up. Harry Truman had a sign on his desk proclaiming "The Buck Stops Here," and no one doubted that it did. When Secretary of State William Seward wrote to President Abraham Lincoln politely offering to take over the heavy lifting of actually being the commander-in-chief, Lincoln just as politely replied that he would handle things, and he did. Nobody ever wondered if Theodore Roosevelt or Dwight D. Eisenhower were really in charge. But questions have swirled around Old Joe Biden's cognitive abilities and thus his ability to discharge the duties of the office he ostensibly holds ever since he began pretending to be president. And now a new poll has shown that a majority of Americans don't really think Old Joe is running things at all. In other words, a majority of Americans are able to see what's right in front of their faces.

Treasury Official Set to Testify on Biden Family's 'Suspicious' Wire Transfers Previously Worked for Joe Biden. Treasury Department official Jonathan Davidson, who is set to testify this week about the agency withholding the Biden family's "suspicious" bank records, worked as the Biden-Harris Transition's Economic Nominations Confirmation team lead in 2020 and was nominated to the position at the Treasury by President Joe Biden, raising questions of whether his testimony will be tainted with political bias. On Friday [3/10/2023], Davidson is scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) and answer questions about why the Treasury has refused to provide the committee with James and Hunter Biden's 150 suspicious activity reports (SARs) generated by U.S. banks. SARs often contain evidence of potential criminal activities, such as money laundering and fraud. The disclosure would greatly help Comer investigate the Biden family, along with Eric Schwerin, for nine violations, including wire fraud and money laundering.

Biden makes unproven claim that he was a civil rights activist during Selma speech. President Biden on Sunday remarked that he was involved in the civil rights movement during a speech in Selma, Alabama — a claim that remains unproven. The president visited the historic city to commemorate the 58th anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" march, a pivotal moment of the 1960s civil rights movement. "I was a student up north in the civil rights movement," Biden said to the crowd. "I remember feeling how guilty I was, [that] I wasn't here. How could we all be up there, and you going through what you went through," he continued.

Biden's Offensive Pandering, Lying, and Confusion in Selma. Joe Biden was in Selma, Alabama on Sunday to commemorate "Bloody Sunday." Biden was there to commemorate the 58th anniversary of "Bloody Sunday," when police beat peaceful protesters marching for voting rights. But if you read media descriptions, like this from the New York Times, you would think we were barely away from those times. [Tweet] [...] That's truly shameless. Exactly who is being denied the vote? And it's Democrats who have lied and been divisive under Joe Biden acting as though somehow Republicans are denying people the right to vote, which is all about trying to manipulate the voters. Joe Biden was at that again during his remarks in Selma. First, he of course had to lie again about his involvement in the civil rights movement to pander to his audience. [Tweet]

Biden Lies Again: 'I Was A Student Up North In the Civil Rights Movement'. Old Joe Biden swung by Selma, Ala., on Sunday to commemorate the 58th anniversary of "Bloody Sunday," the March 7, 1965, civil rights march in Selma that state troopers attacked with tear gas and clubs, leading to serious injuries to seventeen marchers. As is his longstanding habit, Biden seized the opportunity to embroider on his life story in order to demonstrate that he was not only on the side of the good guys, but had been all along. "I was a student up north in the civil rights movement," Biden informed his audience in Selma. "I remember feeling how guilty I was I wudden here. How could we all be up there? And you goin' through what you were goin' through, lookin' at those — I can still picture..." Here the available video mercifully ends, but Joe had made his point: he has been a civil rights campaigner for longer than most of you folks have been alive, see? There's just one catch: he hasn't. [Tweet]

What price Biden? President Biden is something of a wrecking ball. All his past life has been but a preparation for the damage he is doing. It can't be much of an overstatement to observe that everything he "knows" is wrong. If we ask What price Biden?, it is to seek a reckoning of the cost. The cost in financial terms must be the least of it, but it is nevertheless unthinkably enormous. Today's New York Post editorial places a number on the financial cost to New York City of Biden's erasure of our southern border: ["]Nearly Five. Million. Dollars. Per Day.["]

Biden Administration Approved 192 U.S. Trade Licenses Worth $23 Billion to Support Blacklisted Chinese Companies. He's not called China Joe for nothing. This is quite a considerable amount of U.S. tech products delivered to blacklisted Chinese companies. It would be interesting to trace the multinational kickbacks to the Biden administration. [...] Beijing knows they can purchase U.S. political outcomes.

US approved 192 licenses for exports to blacklisted Chinese firms early 2022. The Biden administration approved 192 licenses worth over $23 billion to ship U.S. goods and technology to Chinese companies on a U.S. trade blacklist in the first quarter of last year, according to a document released by a U.S. congressional committee on Friday [3/3/2023]. The 192 licenses granted were out of 242 license applications decided between January and March 2022, a chart showed, and 115 of those approved contained controlled technology. Nineteen, or 8 percent of the total number of applications, were denied, and 31 were returned without action.

Just how unjust is our system of justice? China is our most dangerous adversary, not Russia. Biden is a controlled asset of the CCP. That should be obvious to everyone by now. The American president is doing China's bidding but he owes those Ukrainian oligarchs a great deal for all the millions they funneled to the Biden family. We American citizens are toast unless the squishy Republicans develop a spine.

Biden Slammed over 'White Boy' Remark During Event Marking Black History Month: 'Most Racist President... Since LBJ'. President Joe Biden faced a wave of backlash over what was deemed a "racist" comment of his implying that white men are unintelligent, after stating, "I may be a white boy, but I'm not stupid," at a reception honoring African Americans throughout the country's history. During a White House reception marking Black History Month on Monday, President Biden stated that "black history matters" after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis reportedly rejected a high school Advance Placement course for African American studies following his "Stop Woke Act," which aims to ban Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the state's public schools.

Russian billionaires who dodged US sanctions shopped US land with Hunter Biden, dined with then-VP Joe. Two Russian billionaires who have managed to dodge US sanctions over Moscow's year-old invasion of Ukraine went property shopping with Hunter Biden, dined with then-Vice President Joe Biden, and discussed "favors" they might swap, sources tell The [New York] Post. New details of Joe and Hunter Biden's association with Yelena Baturina and Vladimir Yevtushenkov flesh out tantalizing clues from the first son's abandoned laptop. The sources spoke with The Post this week after the duo was yet again spared a fresh batch of sanctions announced by the Treasury Department Friday. "I think it's very fishy," said one source who had firsthand knowledge of the business relationship between Hunter Biden and Yevtushenkov — who is sanctioned by the UK and Australia but not by the US.

Old Joe Biden Has Never Told a Weirder Story Than This One. Old Joe Biden has been in politics for over half a century, and before the onset of his dementia, he could be a fluid and occasionally effective public speaker, although he was never as charming or compelling as he clearly believed himself to be. But as he has aged, the doddering corruptocrat who pretends to be president of the United States has lost whatever ability he ever had to move an audience. Now, more often than not, he tries for an emotional effect and only manages to come off as weird, as with his bizarre habit of whispering points he wants to give particular emphasis. But Old Joe has never been weirder than he was on Tuesday in Virginia Beach, where he was supposed to be reading off the teleprompter an address about affordable healthcare, but took the opportunity to embark on a bizarre ramble about a nurse he had when he suffered two brain aneurysms in 1988.

Biden's roller coaster of catastrophes. In a remarkable interview last Friday, ABC News anchor David Muir pulled back the curtain to reveal a President Joe Biden who seemed disconnected with the political reality swirling around him and his White House. Here was a commander in chief unable to remember whether he had spoken with the mayor of a small Ohio town experiencing one of the worst chemical accidents in recent memory, a catastrophic train derailment that had dominated the news for three weeks. Muir simply asked the president if he had talked with the mayor of East Palestine. Biden responded: "I can't recall that I. I don't think I've talked to the mayor. I talked to everyone else there multiple times. Talked to both the senators, both governors. And I've talked to everyone there to talk to. And we've made it clear that everything is available." That was the best this president could summon for a group of his fellow Americans, frightened and worried they may lose everything they've dreamed of and worked for?

The Oaf of Office:
Insane: Joe Biden Laughs Discussing Mother Whose Sons Died From Fentanyl. Sometimes I write an article and the topic is so insane that I'm not even sure what to say. In this case, I'm going to do my best, but understand that it's difficult to put words down when you watch something that is this bad. Joe Biden appeared in Maryland on Wednesday evening to speak to the House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference (whatever that is). And while the typical political bluster about "assault weapons" and such was on full display, there was one moment that is destined to go viral, and not for a good reason. While speaking, Biden decided to laugh at/about a mother whose sons died after taking fake Percocets laced with fentanyl. Rebecca Kiessling had recently appeared before Congress to testify on the dangers of the deadly drug and the epidemic of deaths occurring because of it. For her trouble, she got this display from the President of the United States. [Video clip]

Why Did The IRS Let Biden Off The Hook For His Sketchy Tax Filings? Republicans Should Investigate. Apparently, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) doesn't listen to my advice. Last summer, as Congress prepared to ram through a spending spree that included funding for nearly 87,000 IRS employees, I noted that if Democrats were interested in tracking down wealthy tax cheats, they should instead demand that the tax agency audit the current occupant of the White House to study his own dodgy tax history. Now come claims from the White House that the IRS examined President Biden's taxes yet raised no red flags. That apparent development was enough to prompt an analyst at a liberal think tank to say Congress should investigate what he views as the IRS's abdication of its duties regarding Biden's returns. But the question remains whether Republicans will get off their proverbial tails and actually do something about it.

Hunter Biden's Ukraine BioLab Partner Was Partners With Ghislaine Maxwell. Hunter Biden was instrumental in funding and assisting a company responsible for Ukraine biolabs. The Metabiota company, headed by a Ghislaine Maxwell partner named Alan Wolfe, was in charge of setting up biolabs in Ukraine. The biolabs have sparked concern that dangerous materials could be used to fuel bioterrorism in Ukraine and around the world. Hunter Biden's firm Rosemont Seneca invested a staggering $500,000 in Metabiota, a company that set up Ukrainian biolabs. Hunter Biden acted as an unofficial lobbyist and fundraiser for Metabiota, reportedly finding millions of dollars for the company that engaged in pathogen experiments in the period when Hunter Biden's father Joe was the vice president and the globalist West built up a belligerent stance against Russia. Hunter even linked Metabiota up with the company Burisma, which Hunter was on the board of, for work related to Ukraine biolabs. Metabiota became a U.S. Department of Defense contractor during the Obama-Biden administration.

Jim Jordan Wants to Know Why DOJ Hasn't Appointed a Special Counsel for Hunter Biden. While U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed special counsels to probe the handling of classified documents by President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, he has not appointed one to handle investigations of Hunter Biden — and that has House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) curious. So, to get some answers with his power as chairman of the powerful Judiciary Committee, Jordan sent a letter to AG Garland on Tuesday looking to get his hands on some documents to better understand the situation and conduct oversight of Biden's Department of Justice. "The Department's investigation of Hunter Biden, son of President Biden, raises the appearance of a conflict of interest that would necessitate special counsel protections and authorities," Chairman Jordan notes in his letter to Garland. "However, to date, you have declined to appoint a special counsel in this matter, despite appointing special counsels in other investigations." As noted, there's a special counsel to investigate Joe Biden's sticky fingers when it came to classified documents from his time as vice president and a U.S. senator — so why not a special counsel to investigate his son?

Just Call it What it Is. Biden's attacks on the Constitution have been unrelenting since he was propped up behind the Resolute Desk. It started on Inauguration Day with a stack of seventeen executive orders crushing an economic revival, creating division by race and class, and destroying meritocracy by elevating identity over competency with a rogue's gallery of department heads anointed by skin color, transgenderism, sexual proclivity, and radical beliefs. The hidden hands of the administration that rock the cradle see the Constitution as an out-of-touch recipe for a federal republic, with checks and balances easily bent or broken in the face of a stiff political wind. A recent example is the pending agreement with the World Health Organization to relinquish America's pandemic sovereignty, a document having the force of a treaty but duplicitously constructed as a provisional agreement to circumvent the required approval of the Senate.

Joe Biden's brother Jim touted his connections. Joe Biden's brother touted his family connections in a letter to the Qatari royal family asking for work, DailyMail.com can reveal. Jim Biden, the President's younger brother, wrote a groveling letter to a Qatari prince in charge of the Arab nation's $170 billion investment fund in August 2017, asking for a meeting. In the letter, obtained by DailyMail.com from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop, Jim told a Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) director: 'My family could provide a wealth of introductions and business opportunities at the highest levels.'

Russian Sanctions Have Proved as Useless as COVID Vaccines. In teasing an imminent re-election announcement from President Braindead, pretend medical doctor Jill Biden recently bragged that her husband had "brought us out of the chaos." Brought us out of the chaos? Both inflation and illegal immigration are out of control, Americans' financial security is in tatters, forced "vaccinations" did nothing to curb COVID, and we're closer to WWIII than ever before. If this is Slow Joe's idea of "smooth sailing," then nuclear Armageddon is nothing but "a bit of a rough patch." Just what do Jill and her Marxist mavens smoke that so twists their noggins into thinking that the nation is in better shape since they took control of D.C. behind barbed-wire fences, sandbag barricades, and military troops?

Whistleblower Signals He Will Reveal Explosive Information On The Biden Crime Family. The investigation into the Biden Crime Family's foreign business deals might be about to explode. A former associate of Hunter Biden claims he has damning information on the Bidens' sordid foreign business deals. The Washington Free Beacon revealed Monday [2/27/2023] that Gal Luft, the co-director of the Washington-based Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, says he provided details about Hunter Biden, his uncle, Jim Biden, and his father Joe Biden to the Trump Justice Department back in March 2019. Luft was an adviser to CEFC China Energy, a business conglomerate with extremely close ties to the Chinese Communist Party. CEFC Energy paid Hunter $6 million in 2017 alone to secure energy deals in the United States according to the Washington Free Beacon. Once Joe Biden assumed power, there was every reason to keep details on his and his family's corruption hidden from the public. According to Luft, the Regime had him arrested on bogus weapon trafficking charges last month in an effort to silence him.

Whistleblower threatening to "name names" in Biden Inc.. Gal Luft is a think tank executive who used to represent a Chinese energy corporation that basically served as a front for the Chinese Communist Party and reportedly paid Hunter Biden millions of dollars. Luft is in a bit of trouble after being arrested in Cyprus earlier this month on charges that he illegally sold weapons to China and Lybia. But he claims that he provided information about the Bidens' business dealings to the FBI in 2019 and now the Biden administration is trying to punish him. So now his attorney is saying that Luft will start "naming names" soon.

Joe Biden Starts Shouting Out of No Where During Black History Month Reception. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Monday hosted a reception celebrating Black History Month in the East Room. Biden said white people are stupid. "I may be a white boy, but I'm not stupid," Biden said to cheers. "I know where the power is. You think I'm joking!" Joe Biden also began shouting out of nowhere. "We just have to remember who we are! We are the United States of America!" Biden shouted. Why is he shouting like this? [Video clip]

The Editor says...
This is the kind of behavior one would expect to see in a psychiatric hospital, not in the White House.

Whistleblower Says He Gave DOJ Information on Biden Family Foreign Business Deals. An Israeli think tank executive who served alongside Hunter Biden as an adviser to a Chinese energy conglomerate widely suspected of serving as a front for the Chinese Communist Party now says he provided the FBI with [...] information about the Biden family's foreign business dealings. Gal Luft, the co-director of the Washington-based Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, says he provided information about Hunter Biden, his father, and his uncle, Jim Biden, to the Justice Department in March 2019. Luft served as an adviser to CEFC China Energy, a conglomerate that "aligned itself so closely with the Chinese government that it was often hard to distinguish between the two," according to CNN. The group, which donated at least $350,000 to Luft's think tank, paid Hunter Biden at least $6 million in 2017 to procure energy investment deals in the United States.

Biden will be playing defense on student loans this week at the Supreme Court. President Joe Biden's $400 billion student loan forgiveness plan will finally get its day at the Supreme Court on Tuesday. But some experts predict that by the time arguments end, the administration may wish it had been somewhere else. Biden's proposal, which would forgive up to $20,000 for some borrowers, is almost certain to be in for a rough ride before a court with a 6-3 conservative majority and an increasingly skeptical view of agencies acting without clear approval from Congress. "The case against him on the merits is very strong," said Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University.

Aussie Reporter Loses It on Air Covering Biden's Mental Health. An Australian news anchor struggled to keep a straight face while covering the results of Joe Biden's recent physical, which gave him a clean bill of health. "President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous 80-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief," White House Physician Kevin O'Connor claimed. Well, Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi found O'Connor's assessment so absurd she couldn't contain her laughter as she contrasted O'Connor's finding with clips of Biden's verbal stumbles, gaffes, and other embarrassing hits. [Video clip]

Biden Hosts Black-only Staff Event for Black History Month. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a special event for black federal employees in observance of Black History Month, according to a tweet by the White House posted on Sunday. [Tweet] It is unclear why members of other racial groups were not invited to an event observing Black History Month, a national event, or why they were not given the same chance for face time with the president and vice president.

The Editor says...
Fake news alert! I don't think it is at all "unclear why members of other racial groups were not invited." In fact, it's obvious. Blacks are the most rabid segregationists in America today, and Joe Biden (or whoever makes his decisions) is pandering to them.

Joe and Jill Went Up the Hill. Much has already been said about the devastating policies and tenure of Joe Biden. Simply put, he is unarguably the worst president the U.S. has ever suffered, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama notwithstanding. Here I will focus on the other half of the Biden tandem, a woman of scholarly pretensions without foundation, the ineffable Dr. Jill. The adulation Jill Biden has received for so flimsy a dubious accomplishment as a paper doctorate in a derelict field like Education Studies is utterly misplaced, whether it is the mentally impregnable Whoopi Goldberg thinking that Jill Biden was a medical doctor and should be considered for Surgeon General or a sports announcer for an NFL game, as Megyn Kelly notes, ingratiatingly remarking that "Dr. Jill Biden" was in attendance.

What if Joe Biden Doesn't Run in 2024? It somewhat slipped under the radar, but a few days ago (February 22nd), Politico tossed out a puff piece by no fewer than six writers musing on what would happen should Joe Biden not run for re-election in 2024. The article simultaneously makes a few points and misses even more. Before getting into the story's heart, some richly deserved roasting of its delivery. There's media bias, and then there's this story, making one wonder exactly who the authors are covering, as it can't possibly be the Biden we all know and ... uh, know. [...] While all indications are Biden will be propped up long enough to run for re-election — I mean, how else will Jill Biden be fawned over for wearing dresses patterned after online pre-teen roleplaying games? — the article does lay out how, should Biden choose not to run (no mention made of the real possibility he will be unable to), others are quietly drawing up campaign maps.

To Learn Who Rules Over You. I was reminded of the flap over Jill Biden's doctorate while watching NFL football some weeks ago as a commentator pointed out that "Dr. Jill Biden" — not Mrs. Biden, note, or even the First Lady — was in attendance. It must be at her own insistence that she is given the public designation, and anyone who fails to applaud risks angry censure by the bien pensants. The subject of "Dr. Jill" originally erupted even before her husband took office, when an opinion piece by the essayist Joseph Epstein called on her in December, 2020 to "drop the doc." Epstein's "Is There a Doctor in the White House? Not if you Need an M.D," appearing in the Wall Street Journal, was not particularly critical of Jill Biden personally; he merely pointed out that it seemed "fraudulent," perhaps even "a touch comic," to call oneself "Dr." when one's doctorate was not in any medical field (Biden's is in Education) and at a time when the PhD "has been diminished by the erosion of seriousness and the relaxation of standards in university education generally." As it happens, there are few living writers more erudite than Epstein, a man who could run intellectual circles around Dr. Biden with one foot tied behind his back.

The World Bank becomes Joe Biden's global greenie slush fund. The greenie policies that forced Sri Lanka into bankruptcy and toppled its government last year has a lot of fans at the World Bank, who'd like to see that "model" replicated worldwide. They've since staged a palace coup, effectively ousting the Bank's first-rate president, David Malpass, who will exit his term a year early in June, in favor of a "great reset" wokester fanatic, Ajay Banga, who once ran MasterCard, Inc. and intends to make the multilateral bank, which traditionally funds infrastructure projects, into a greenie conversion outfit, forcing the third world to scrap the whole economic growth idea, and just "go green" instead. That can be their 'progress' instead building their nations' wealth. Naturally, this smells like the "Inflation Reduction Act" which was of course, a disguised pork program for greenie new deal boondoggles. And sure enough, Biden's men were behind this ouster hoping to replicate the strategy.

Biden Can't Remember If He's Talked to East Palestine Mayor Amid Toxic Train Derailment. President Joe Biden's mental health is declining; that's no secret. However, it is alarming when he can't make it through an interview without stumbling over his words or being unable to recall whether he's already talked to someone. During an interview with ABC on the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, Biden said that he has "talked to everyone that there is to talk to" but can't remember who he has spoken to. Host David Muir asked Biden if he plans to travel to Ohio and has talked to the mayor. "I can't recall whether I've — I don't think I've talked to the mayor. I've talked to everyone else there multiple times. I've talked to both the senators, both governors, I've talked to everyone there is to talk to, and we've made it clear that everything is available," Biden said in response.

Biden Makes Bizarre Comment About East Palestine, Says Things He Shouldn't in Interview. Sometimes, I listen to Joe Biden, and all I can think is: he is one weird dude. He was asked on Friday if he would be visiting the site of the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, and his response was bizarre. He said he did a "whole video," and he couldn't remember that it was a "Zoom" video. [Tweet] "Zoom. All I can hear every time I think of Zoom is that song of my generation, 'Who's Zoomin' Who?'" Biden babbled. Yikes. At this point, he's just not a serious person; he seems completely out of it.

Workarounds to working. [Scroll down] Living off of family money, unemployment insurance, disability insurance, government grants, friends, subsidized homelessness, becoming a perpetual student, and/or working off the books all come together to allow an unprecedented number of people to fail to contribute to the continuing success and financing of our country. There is a monthly government statistic called U-6 and another metric called Civilian Labor Force Participation Rate. These two stats, added to the official Unemployment rate, reveal another estimated 12 million unemployed or underemployed individuals over and above the official stats. Another important metric is people who could work but choose not to do so. Yes, the government keeps that number as well. When you combine all these numbers, you approach 100 million people who don't work for a variety of reasons. That number has risen by about 35 million in the last ten years.

Amtrak Joe Couldn't Be Bothered To Visit A Train Wreck. Afreight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, three weeks ago. Residents were ordered to evacuate and the cargo of toxic chemicals from five tanker cars was eventually released and set on fire. So far, Joe Biden hasn't visited the scene, as is tradition for presidents when large-scale disasters strike. Instead, Biden officials have blamed Donald Trump, who hasn't been president in more than two years, for the wreck. But even some media outlets are admitting it wasn't his fault. Official word from the White House accuses "congressional Republicans and former Trump administration officials" for selling out "to rail industry lobbyists when they dismantled the Obama-Biden rail safety protections as well as EPA powers to rapidly contain spills." The administration believes Trump, who beat Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (who is utterly useless) to the site, and GOP lawmakers, owe "East Palestine an apology."

Hunter Biden's latest rebrand is just smoke and errors. Hunter has long been a reclamation project for the media and the Biden team. Despite ample evidence that he and his family may have engaged in one of the largest influence-peddling operations in history, the media have struggled to find a redeeming image for someone who's committed his life to a toxic mix of nepotism, narcissism and narcotics. First there was "Hunter: the wrongly accused international businessman." This blanket denial of wrongdoing was maintained by his father and dutifully repeated by the media. Hunter Biden did "nothing wrong," and reporters pressing questions of corruption were immediately attacked. Then came "Hunter Biden: victim of Russian disinformation." Before the 2020 election, the media repeated the false claim that the Hunter laptop was likely "Russian disinformation." Despite the denial of American intelligence and self-verifying emails on the laptop, the media accepted without question the dubious claims of former intelligence figures pushed by longtime Democratic operatives. Then it was "Hunter Biden: heroic recovering addict."

House committee asks former Serbian official for interview, documents on Hunter Biden. The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which is investigating the Biden family's business dealings, has asked a former Serbian official for an interview and documents related to Hunter Biden. The Republican-led committee sent a five-page letter Tuesday to Vuk Jeremić, who served as Serbia's foreign minister and president of the U.N. General Assembly from 2012 to 2013. "The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating President Biden's connections to certain international and domestic business transactions and practices, including his family and associates who peddled influence to generate millions of dollars for the Biden family," chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., wrote in the letter.

Republicans demand interview with Serbian UN official over his 'business relationship' with Hunter Biden. Republicans investigating the Biden family's alleged influence peddling have demanded an interview with a former Serbian politician with ties to Hunter and the Chinese Communist Party. Vuk Jeremic, the ex-President of the United Nations General Assembly, allegedly introduced the President's son to an energy firms with links to the Chinese communist party in 2015. At the time, Hunter Biden was being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to act as 'consultant' to help 'open doors' by introducing businessmen with links to Beijing to political leaders around the world, Republican Congressman James Comer claims.

The Toxic Racialist Obsessions of Joe Biden. Joe Biden ran on "unity," which is critical in a multiracial America. He vowed to heal the divisions supposedly sown by Donald Trump. Instead, he is proving to be the most polarizing president in modern memory. Often his racialist rhetoric and condescension have proven demeaning to both blacks and whites. In a volatile multiracial democracy that demands tolerance and restraint, a highly unpopular Biden, for cheap political advantage, continually proves incendiary and reckless.

The collapse of civilization on the altar of equity and diversity. Talent and merit has nothing to do with race, but the left does not accept that fact. It is the left that is truly racist; Joe Biden has long been one of the worst racists in Congress. Watch his attempted humiliation of Clarence Thomas at his confirmation hearing to see just how racist Biden is. Thomas is a towering intellect with an IQ twice that of poor old Joe's. But like most people who are both stupid and arrogant, they never recognize brilliance in others. They only know they resent such people but they don't know why.

Will Biden's Ukraine Trip Inspire Even More Of His Lies? The current occupant of the Oval Office is a career, serial fabulist. He lies not to connect to his audience, as his media apologists have tried to argue, but to serve his narcissism and to gain political advantage. Biden is pathological. It's reasonable to believe he has a "mental disease," and is a "psychopathic personality of some type." Biden's long history of lies has gone largely uncovered by a media that quickly became fixated on Rep. George Santos and his prevarications. But that's to be expected. With little exception, today's media has no interest in the truth. Its primary objective is to help the Democratic Party establish permanent and unchallengeable political power.

CNN Reporter Alex Marquardt Says No Air Sirens Or Explosions Went Off In Kyiv Until Biden Showed Up. CNN senior national security correspondent Alex Marquardt said Monday that no explosions or air sirens were heard in Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, until President Joe Biden made a surprise visit. Biden made an unannounced visit to Kyiv for about five hours on Monday and met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ahead of the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion. The White House had previously denied that the president made any plans to visit Ukraine ahead of his scheduled trip to Warsaw, Poland. "I've been here for the past five days," Marquardt said. "I have not heard any explosions, I have not heard any air sirens until about a half an hour ago, right when President Biden was in the center of Kyiv."

Make it Go Away. This partial list of challenges to the President's transparency reveals his attempts to explain not just mistakes but displays terrible judgment:
• Balloongate — In a single 10-day period, the American people witnessed an unchallenged, week-long aerial invasion of the United States. Biden's administration explained it in multiple, sometimes contradictory ways, with the commander in chief blaming the advice he received from the Joint Chiefs. And when the next three airborne intruders were discovered, they were rapidly shot down.
• Ukraine — I must have missed the President explaining the specific objectives we seek. To most Americans who support backing Ukraine, it appears like the President is playing a game of chicken. We seem to give the Ukrainians enough support to defend themselves at a horrific cost of lives. But we won't give them the decisive weapons they need to push Russia out. [...]
• Hunter Biden — Here's a story that students of journalism will be studying for the next hundred years. The administration closed ranks and stated unequivocally that the laptop was Russian disinformation. Before the election, Biden's campaign got 50 current and former intelligence chiefs to claim the same. The facts are, as the NY Times confirmed only last year, that the laptop is genuine. Yet the FBI declined to open an investigation that may involve evidence of multiple federal crimes, perhaps even the President's involvement.
• Classified Documents Fiasco — Used to pillory Trump, an actual former President with rights to possess classified records and to declassify them at his purview (while in office) as juxtaposed by senator and then Vice President Biden, who has no rights to possess any classified documents much less an ability to retain any by law. A world of difference, folks. However, we must overlay one other terrifying proposition. If Hunter is in the pocket of China as it looks to all the world, how can anyone know if the 'Big Man' is not involved? The scope of the Hunter problem could take on an entirely different dimension.
• The Border — No one can deny that the border was closed before Biden took office. By presidential directive, he thrust open the border for more than five million illegals so far to stake their claim to a New America. The question never asked of the President is why? [...]
• Energy — You heard the President say that oil will only be around for another ten years. [...] Biden's entire strategy is built on quicksand. Knowing that 'Green Energy" is more expensive and less reliable than the status quo, he plans to subsidize all 'Green Energy' and undermine fossil fuels and Americans through higher taxes. [...]
• Inflation — Let no one believe otherwise. Inflation is a weapon used against the middle class, and inflation did not sneak up on us. Biden knew — he was warned that adding $3 trillion in debt was massively inflationary, and he did it anyway to fulfill his promises to his climate masters. [...]
• COVID, before, during, and afterward — COVID was well on its way to being under control when Biden took office. The economy was already opening up, especially in Red states, but Biden had little desire to understand how COVID came to be. That was important to understand, assign responsibility, learn, and not be as vulnerable the next time. I see little focus on finding and fixing these failings in his administration. Why?

Biden decides to give the WHO authority over U.S. sovereignty. The World Health Organization, a subsidiary of the United Nations run by a team of bureaucrats in Geneva, soon could have the power to dictate lockdowns, vaccination mandates, social distancing and much more in the United States. Even surveillance of citizens. A new report from the Epoch Times explains Joe Biden is getting ready to sign the U.S. up to a "legally binding" deal that would give international politicians authority to make decisions for America during a pandemic. And he's maneuvering so it won't require approval by the U.S Senate.

Biden Makes 'Surprise' Visit to Ukraine, Immediately Sets Off Multiple Controversies. Americans woke up on Monday morning to the news of a surprise visit to Ukraine, by the President of the United States. Press outlets swooned as Joe Biden was seen walking around the streets of Kyiv with Volodymyr Zelensky, the latter donning his signature olive drab. There were even air raid sirens blaring in the background to really make the scene pop. [Tweet] I'm sort of in the middle on Ukraine aid, believing that some investment in diminishing Russia's military by proxy is a net positive (but I want less overall and a lot more accountability). What I'm affirmatively against, though, is being gaslit, and this entire visit is pure gaslighting. There is no Secret Service protocol that allows the president to be left strolling out in the open during an actual air raid. Those sirens were clearly turned on with no actual threat in the area in order to make Biden look tough and courageous.

Biden lands in Kyiv and gives Zelensky $500 million more in new weapons. President Joe Biden arrived in Kyiv on Monday morning on a surprise days before the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and declared that Vladimir Putin had failed in his 'war of conquest.' His visit was shrouded in secrecy. He arrived after the hours-long train journey from Poland with a stripped down press pool of just one reporter and a photographer. Air raid sirens blared across the besieged Ukrainian capital although there were no reports of Russian missile or air strikes.

The Editor says...
The air raid sirens were part of the show: a cheap manipulation of the news media, and an attempt to make Biden's mission bold and dangerous.

Former WH doctor for Trump, Obama blasts 'alarming' Biden health report: 'The cover-up needs to end'. Texas GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician, is calling for an end to the "cover-up" of President Biden's health after the president's physical earlier this week claimed that he is healthy and fit to serve as commander in chief. "The majority of Americans can see that Biden's mental health is in total decline, yet there is no transparency from the White House on what's going on, if anything, to address this issue and his inability to do his job," Jackson told Fox News Digital. "Yesterday's written physical exam report released by Biden's physician, Kevin O'Connor, further confirms that this administration is still adamant about concealing the truth."

Hunter Biden's Art Dealer Stonewalls GOP Probe into Art Sales to Anonymous Buyers. Hunter Biden's art dealer, Georges Bergès, refused on Thursday to provide the House Oversight Committee requested disclosures into his art sales to anonymous buyers. Hunter, an attorney and former lobbyist who is under investigation for tax fraud, has reportedly sold about 12 paintings to anonymous buyers during his father's term as President of the United States. The price tags of artwork are reported to be $500,000 each.

The Editor says...
"Anonymous buyers" is a poor choice of words. Hunter Biden knows who they are, and unless the buyers paid cash, Hunter Biden's bank knows who they are, too. If you or I tried to launder money in this manner, the IRS would be well aware of it.

America Is Becoming a Corrupt Country. Politico journalist Ben Schreckinger's new book, The Bidens: Inside the First Family's Fifty-Year Rise to Power, is a pretty good introduction to the world of grifting at the heart of the Biden family's economic well-being. No serious person believes that Hunter Biden got money from Russia, China, Ukraine, and other foreign countries because he was good at business. Hunter Biden got a lot of money (including a 3-carat diamond from a Chinese billionaire) because he seemed a good bet to influence his father, then-Vice President and now-President Joe Biden.

Democrats Have No Good Option for 2024. [D]espite the impending made-for-TV tumult in the GOP primary, the fact remains that the party has a number of possible or likely candidates who are either well-qualified or broadly popular with a substantial slice of the national electorate. The same is simply not true for the Democratic Party. And as the octogenarian President Joe Biden shows all signs of imminently launching his reelection campaign, even the mainstream press is starting to fret. The New York Times, the closest thing to Democratic Party Pravda, has over the past year run a series of urgent articles sounding the alarm on Biden's unprecedented presidential age and declining cognitive abilities.

Hunter laptop deniers try to rewrite history as House Republicans investigate. Now that everyone acknowledges that Hunter Biden's laptop is authentic, just as it was when first reported by the New York Post in October 2020, some pretty aggressive rewriting of history is going on. Republicans now control the House of Representatives and have made it plain that they'll examine the saga of the laptop, the contents of which connect Hunter's father, now-President Biden, to his family's lucrative business of selling access to him. Because of this new congressional scrutiny, some who conspired to falsely cast the laptop story as "Russian disinformation" are scrambling to alter the record. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper was one of the biggest names — and the first listed — in an open letter issued on Oct. 19, 2020, that was intended to protect then-candidate Joe Biden from political damage in the wake of the laptop bombshell just over two weeks before the last presidential election. First reported by Politico, the letter expressed the view of 51 identified "former senior intelligence officials" (and nine anonymous others they said could not be named publicly) that the laptop had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

Biden installed: What could possibly go wrong? Despite the convictions of Democrats and Trump haters, evidence that the 2020 election was rigged seems to have met the "beyond a reasonable doubt" burden. Beyond Molly Ball's Time Magazine bragging confession, there are the ballot box-stuffing mules, and the accounts of numerous cyber experts that demonstrated how some voting machines could be (and seemingly were) programmed to cheat. Biden was not legitimately elected, he was fraudulently installed. So terrified of Donald Trump are the denizens of the swamp that they were willing to sell out the country, the Constitution, and the American people, and put into the oval office a man so corrupt and so compromised, that the nation might never recover from this catastrophic theft of an American presidential election. Biden has effectively ruined America in two short years. We are no longer energy independent but are being starved of domestic energy. Businesses, especially restaurants, that survived the ridiculous Covid lockdowns now face unaffordable gas bills. Gas prices are twice what they were under Trump — and now these fools want to ban gas stoves! Punishingly absurd.

Biden tells press 'give me a break,' stomps off when pressed on family's China business. President Biden stormed out of a press availability Thursday afternoon when asked if his ability to deal with China was "compromised" by his family's business interests — complaining journalists were not being "polite" and telling them to "give me a break" before walking away. Republicans say Biden can't properly confront China on issues ranging from fentanyl and COVID-19 origins to a surveillance balloon that traversed US airspace this month because of his family's financial links to Chinese state entities. "Is your ability to deal with China compromised by your family's business relationships in China, President Biden?" a reporter for The [New York] Post asked following a seven-minute address on the Chinese balloon and the subsequent shoot-down of three yet-to-be-identified objects. At least four other reporters shouted questions at the president, who had not faced the press for nearly six days, but Biden chose to answer only The Post's query.

Biden is a 'healthy' and 'vigorous' 80-year-old who can 'successfully execute' his duties, his doctor says. President Joe Biden is a 'healthy' and 'vigorous' 80-year-old who is fit for office, his doctor said after his annual physical on Thursday [2/16/2023] at Walter Reed. White House physician Colonel Kevin O'Connor provided an update on his health amid concerns over his age as he prepares to announce a 2024 run for president. The results were largely unchanged from last time, aside from a lesion on his chest that has been sent for cancer screening, and there was no cognitive test despite calls from Republicans.

Democrats privately know Joe Biden is too old to run again, but they can't say it out loud. There are two new stories out about Joe Biden's age today and both of them make clear that Democrats are privately very nervous about lining up behind an 80-year-old man who would be 86 by the time he finished a second term. CNN reports discussion of Biden's age is "omnipresent." [...] The rest of the CNN story does its best to make the argument that worries about Biden's age are mostly coming from outside the camp. According to CNN, the people who spend time with him are consistently impressed: [...] The other story out today about Biden's age paints a different picture. Writing for Politico, Jonathan Martin said he spoke to lots of high-level Democrats who remain worried about Biden's age but who are afraid to speak up because the leading alternative, Kamala Harris, is not considered an option.

New Democrat Talking Point in Response to the Joe Biden 'Age Question' Defies Belief. As President Joe Biden nears the time when he is expected to make a formal announcement about running for reelection (rumor has it that he'll do it sometime in March or April), fresh excuses are pouring in from his Democratic supporters as to why his age shouldn't be an issue despite all the available evidence showing it very much is an issue. The latest example comes courtesy of CNN, which did a surprisingly thorough piece on the "age questions" that Biden has been hit with since even before he declared his presidential candidacy in 2019. According to the report, among the strategies the Biden team is set to employ after Biden makes it official are similar to some of the ones used in 2020, which is to use young 20- and 30-something Democrats to vouch for Biden's supposed vitality and fitness to lead while promising that he is ushering in a "new generation of leaders" or whatever: [...]

The CBO Exposes Biden's $5.45 Trillion Lie. While spending the country into ruin, President Joe Biden likes to portray himself as a fiscal conservative who has cut the deficit in half in the past two years. But a new report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office shows just how big a lie this is — a 5 1/2 trillion dollar lie, to be exact. During his State of the Union speech last week, Biden not only claimed that "my administration has cut the deficit by more than $1.7 trillion — the largest deficit reduction in American history," he also claimed that he's a miser compared to Donald Trump. "Under the previous administration, the American deficit went up four years in a row. ... Nearly 25% of the entire national debt that took over 200 years to accumulate was added by just one administration alone — the last one," he said.

The Editor says...
This is another indication that Barack H. Obama is conducting his third term in office, with Joe Biden serving as Obama's puppet. When Obama was president, he routinely blamed every unfortunate circumstance on George W. Bush for years after Bush was out of the loop. Now Biden/Obama is doing the same thing, blaming Donald Trump.

Why is Biden so Oddly Silent about the Ohio Train Diaster? The environmental disaster taking place in Ohio from a Norfolk Southern derailed train should outrage both sides of the political aisle. After the smoke clears, investigations will take place and most likely will show that there is plenty of blame to be shared, including all levels of government and both political parties. But at the moment, the complete lack of any significant response by the Biden administration is appalling and begs the question why an administration that is hostile to the free market and supports extreme measures to fight climate change is missing in action? Could it be that some of the largest shareholders of the responsible railroad, Norfolk Southern Corporation, are tied to PACs and affiliates that helped fund the 2020 election of the Biden administration? If true, then isn't it reasonable to conclude that by such donations, these shareholders, through their PACs and affiliates, support the Biden administration?

Biden, 80, to Get Physical Ahead of Possible 2024 Reelection Fight. Joe Biden will complete a full physical exam Thursday as the oldest-ever U.S. president readies for a possible 2024 reelection fight. No official announcement has yet been made as to whether he will run again. AFP reports the White House has promised to make the results public via the president's doctor just as it did during a previous medical checkup in 2021.

The Editor says...
Here's my prediction: The doctor will either whitewash Biden's frail and senile condition, or will disqualify him at the request of the party bosses.

Biden Planning a Second Presidential Basement Campaign. The kindest advice I gave the Democrats was that they should have taken a loss in 2022. Hand the House and the Senate to Republicans and clear the deck for a new generation of leadership. Biden would have been forced to follow Pelosi into retirement after a long grueling struggle with congressional Republicans. Democrats would have had a good shot at winning in 2024 with a younger candidate who wasn't at the wheel during these miserable years. Instead, Biden was locked in for a second term. Most of the critics fell silent and endorsed his reelection campaign. The potential competitors, primarily Newsom, have gotten out of the way. They've won the battle and lost the war. And having caught the car, they have no idea what to do now.

Oversight Committee Chair: Treasury Must Provide Bank Records Related to James Biden's Saudi Deal. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) told Breitbart News that the U.S. Treasury must provide bank records related to court documents that show James Biden's secretly negotiated a $140 million settlement deal in 2012 between a U.S. company and the Saudi Arabian government due to his relationship with then-Vice President Joe Biden. "Evidence continues to mount that the Biden family used Joe Biden's name to secure deals around the world to enrich themselves," Comer said Wednesday in relation to the court documents. "The Treasury Department must provide the suspicious activity reports generated for the Biden family and their associates to inform our investigation about the Biden family's business schemes and Joe Biden's involvement," he said. "If Joe Biden is compromised by his family's deals, this is a national security threat."

Hunter Biden's link to disgraced ex-FBI official Charles McGonigal. The FBI's reputation problems have accelerated with the arrest on corruption charges of Charles McGonigal, the former chief of counterintelligence for the FBI's New York field office, one of the most powerful spy-hunters in the country — who also happened to be connected to Hunter Biden. In twin indictments last month, McGonigal was charged with taking secret cash payments from a former Albanian intelligence officer, holding secret meetings with Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, and attempting to remove top Kremlin oligarch Oleg Deripaska from a US sanctions list. The Albanians cited by prosecutors tie this scandal to Hunter Biden and the Chinese energy company CEFC that paid him and uncle Jim millions of dollars in a deal which Joe Biden was slated to join after his vice presidency ended.

'Of course, the name didn't hurt' when Jim Biden was hired to negotiate $140M deal with Saudis. Jim Biden, the younger brother of Joe, was hired to negotiate a secret deal with the Saudi government on behalf of a U.S. construction company because of his family connection with the then-vice president. That's not a rumor, that's documented in bombshell affidavits. The more that comes out about Biden, Inc., the more corrupt the Biden family business dealings look. Jim Biden trades on the family name as Hunter Biden does. Jim Biden was selected to negotiate a $140 million settlement in a secret deal between Hill International and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2012. Joe Biden was vice-president and Jim was chosen because Saudi Arabia "would not dare stiff the brother of the Vice-President who would be instrumental to the deal." That tidbit is found in an affidavit.

Funk & Wagnall's Standard Dictionary of the English Language,
1964 International Edition, Volume One, page 548.

Affidavit Reveals Joe Biden's Brother Was Hired to Negotiate Secret Saudi Deal Because of the Then-Vice President. Just how deep do the corrupt dealings of the Biden family go? That's a question once again being asked after a new report from The Daily Mail that is being labeled as a "bombshell." According to an affidavit, which stems from a dispute between three legal firms and a US construction company, Joe Biden's brother, Jim Biden, was selected to negotiate a secret deal with the Saudi government because of his relationship with the then-vice president. At the time, Joe Biden was leading delegations to the Middle Eastern nation, and the belief was that the Saudis "would not dare stiff the brother of the Vice-President who would be instrumental to the deal." Further, per Thomas Sullivan, the former US Treasury official who provided the affidavit, Jim Biden's wife said that the two brothers "told each other everything," again discrediting the notion that Joe Biden was completely aloof about the business dealings of his family members.

Since everyone had classified docs, prosecutors are going after Trump for obstruction. The Biden Justice Department has a dilemma. Up until January 9, 2023, when CBS News reported that President Joe Biden had a classified documents scandal of his own, you could have bet the ranch that DOJ was poised to indict former President Donald Trump for illegally retaining national-security intelligence at his Mar-a-Lago estate. Prosecutors were getting their ducks in a row, taking the kind of steps that are only taken when the government is very serious about filing charges: appointing a special counsel, forcing former executive officials to testify before the grand jury despite potential privilege claims, aggressively litigating in the district and appellate courts to prevent Trump's legal team from inhibiting their probe. The discovery that Biden was also hoarding classified documents complicated matters immensely — not least for Biden himself, who had ripped Trump for his irresponsibility before checking his own glass house. Or, I should say, glass houses ... and an office ... and who knows where else.

Hunter Biden's Strategy To Defy Congress Invites His Criminal Prosecution. Hunter Biden could use better lawyers. Or at least a better legal strategy. [...] It's hard to make sense of Hunter Biden's senseless new strategy to tell congress to stuff it. But it is part of a paradigm of brazen intimidation designed to delay, deflect, and shift blame. Shrinks will tell you that it's a classic manipulative method employed by narcissistic people caught committing acts of wrongdoing. They are allergic to assuming responsibility, so they lie and gaslight to avoid accountability. Recently, Hunter's newly constituted team of high-priced attorneys threatened his critics in the media with defamation. That idea deflated faster than an exploding Chinese balloon. It was a frivolous tactic that no one took seriously. After all, Hunter managed to sully his own reputation. Big time. He recorded images of himself smoking crack, snorting lines of coke, posing naked, performing sex acts with prostitutes, and cooking up all manner of greedy schemes to profit off his dad. It's all there on his laptop, which eventually went viral. Suffice it to say that Hunter has no good name to damage. It cannot be tarnished or soiled further. Under the law, he is slander-proof. Moreover, truth is a complete defense to defamation.

Joe Biden Falsely Claims Food Prices Are 'Continuing to Come Down'. President Joe Biden falsely claimed food prices are coming down after Tuesday's inflation report revealed prices at the grocery store actually increased in January. Delivering a Tuesday afternoon keynote address at the National Association of Counties, Biden falsely claimed inflation, including food prices, is coming down. [...] Over the past 12 months, grocery prices have gone up 10.1 percent, the numbers reflecting the month of January show.

Secret China Donations to University of Delaware Soared After the Opening of the Biden Institute. A second university has been found to have received more than $6.7 million in anonymous donations from China, including direct funding from the Chinese government, after Joe Biden set up a program there in his name, according to a Government Accountability Institute analysis. The revelation comes following reporting that anonymous China-linked funds flowing to the University of Pennsylvania almost tripled after the inauguration of the Penn-Biden Center, which illegally housed classified documents.

Karine Jean-Pierre Fails Miserably to Explain Biden's Absence Amid Multiple Shoot-Downs. Following multiple shoot-downs of unidentified flying objects over the last week, reporters were itching to gather more information during Tuesday's White House press briefing. That vigor for transparency was quickly quelled by the world's worst press secretary, though. Karine Jean-Pierre took to the podium to once again provide absolutely nothing of value for the six-figure salary she collects from taxpayers. When pressed on why Joe Biden has still not addressed the nation about even the initial Chinese spy balloon that was downed, this was the result. [Tweet] The question wasn't whether he is receiving briefings. I would hope that Biden is receiving briefings. That would be the bare minimum given he's ostensibly the President of the United States. That still doesn't explain why Biden can't manage to give a few brief remarks on the situation.

Biden's Classified Documents Scandal Keeps Getting Bigger. Newly disclosed emails from the National Archives indicate that Joe Biden's classified documents scandal is even bigger than we initially thought. The emails reference Joe Biden's attorneys handing over documents in Boston, "confirming a little-known detail in the chronology of Biden's classified documents scandal," according to the New York Post. On November 7, 2022, National Archives general counsel Gary Stern wrote to Biden attorneys Patrick Moore and Bob Bauer, "Please ensure that the boxes in your office in Boston remain secure in a locked space and are not accessed by anyone." This was sent five days after Biden's attorneys found classified documents in Joe's office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.

Intel Officials' Fresh Laptop Baloney. Two and a half years after more than 50 intelligence community pooh-bahs emerged to slime the New York Post's pre-election report on Hunter Biden's laptop, the fact-checkers have arrived on the scene. With Biden safely ensconced in the White House — and with the facts about the laptop plainly obvious — the Washington Post has swooped in to tsk-tsk Politico for over-dramatizing its October 2020 headline: "Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say." Now that we all know the laptop is authentic, the Post wants us to distinguish between "disinformation" and "information" campaigns — foreign efforts to interfere with our elections through the dissemination of accurate information.

Outrage as James Clapper, other Hunter Biden laptop skeptics suddenly speak out against media: 'What a fraud'. It's now an infamous headline among conservatives and a sore spot for Politico. But at the time, the Oct. 19, 2020, story by Natasha Bertrand had its intended bombshell effect with this headline: "Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say." Now former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper says Politico "deliberately distorted" the letter he and more than 50 others — many of them open Joe Biden supporters — signed. Critics are wondering why the players in the story are speaking out more than two years later — just as House Republicans are investigating the matter — and why they didn't cry foul at their own words being twisted at the time. "If James Clapper knew Politico and Natasha Bertrand were lying about what their letter said, why didn't he say so then?" journalist Glenn Greenwald asked on Monday. "Reality: the CIA/IC people lying wanted the media to spread this. Only now that someone has to take the hit is Clapper saying Politico lied."

James Clapper now claims he didn't call Hunter Biden laptop 'Russian disinfo'. A key signer of the open letter that wrongly suggested The Post's bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden's emails was part of a "Russian information operation" has accused Politico of distorting "what we said" — more than two years after the fact. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper tried Monday to tamp down the growing controversy over the letter that he and 50 other ex-spooks signed after The Post first revealed the existence of the first son's infamous laptop in October 2020. Their public statement, now the subject of investigations by the Republican-led House Judiciary and Intelligence committees, was first reported by Politico and later seized on by then-candidate Joe Biden.

National Archives Looked Into Even More Biden Locations, Grabbed More Docs (But We Weren't Told). According to emails revealed under a FOIA request, the National Archives looked into even more locations than we have been told for Biden documents. The email communication exchange starting Nov. 7, 2022 (the day before the election) — between National Archives lawyer Gary Stern and Biden attorneys Bob Bauer and Patrick Moore — reveal that they were looking to recover documents. The email says they would like to "come back" to the DC Penn-Biden Center office to assess the remaining boxes. This was five days after Patrick Moore reportedly found classified documents in Joe Biden's Penn Biden office. Look at how nice and sweet they are — compared to the treatment we saw with President Donald Trump.

Bombshells, Landmines, and Nemesis. Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) mocks the Hunter Biden laptop scandal of a "half-fake" laptop. Yet such puerile flippancy only confirmed her own trademark arrogance and ignorance. Is she claiming the laptop was, was not, or is just sorta not genuine? Hunter's lawyers are suing to stop the dissemination of his "half-property"? Hunter, who never in the past has denied ownership of the laptop, has now confirmed it really was his. A revisionist Hunter should have first conferred with his dad, since, on the presidential debate stage in 2020, Joe Biden swore to the American people the laptop was a product of Russian disinformation. He cited as support "50 former intelligence officials" who signed a statement claiming as much — all organized to deceive the pre-election electorate by former CIA Directors James Clapper and John Brennan. Both previously were best known for admitting to lying under oath to Congress. Any fair examination of the laptop's contents would conclude that Joe Biden received percentage payments from the various quid pro quo enterprises for the merchandising of his name and status as a senator and then vice president. [...] If Hunter's trove of business assessments are found to have drawn on his father's classified files — and there are already allegations that they did — then such use of his father's illegally transferred federal documents for familial profit would end the Biden presidency.

Grassley Details How a 'Triad' of Media, FBI, and Dems Tried to Thwart Investigation into the Biden Family's Corrupt Business Dealings. In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee's first hearing on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) detailed how a "triad" of partisan media, FBI, and Democrats used disinformation from a Russian agent to smear their investigation into Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings. In addition to Grassley, the committee on Thursday heard from Senator Ron Johnson (R- Wis.), Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, former FBI agent Thomas Baker, Professor Jonathan Turley, and former FBI agent Nicole Parker. [...] Grassley said other whistleblower disclosures to his office have "made clear that the FBI has within its possession very significant, impactful, and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter and James Biden." The whistleblowers also allegedly told the the senators that "Joe Biden was aware of Hunter Biden's business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them." Grassley said they are "still not sure what's been done with this information, but the FBI's track record doesn't create much faith that the information is going to be followed up on."

Biden's Right: His Word Means Nothing. Installed (p)Resident Joe Biden loves to make promises secured by the supposed worth of his family name. "I give you my word as a Biden," he said back in March of 2020, "When I'm president, I will lead with science, listen to the experts and heed their advice, and always tell you the truth." [...] My goodness, if only Biden's family name possessed more value than that of Benedict Arnold's, we would be blessed with a man in the White House committed to truth, unity, spiritual guidance, and American success. Yet Biden's name is synonymous with none of those things, is it? Instead, the Biden family name has really stood for only two things: buffoonery and corruption. For fifty years, Joe Biden has managed to hold onto some slice of power in D.C. as a senator, vice president, and Oval Office stooge not because he is renowned for his erudition or virtue but rather because his doltish behavior and venal character make him ideal for others to control. Perhaps no other Washington relic has accomplished so little for the American people over such a prolonged government career or managed to harness those defects for lucrative advancement more successfully than China Joe.

Hunter Biden just made Republicans' investigation a lot easier. Hunter Biden's legal team has been at the center of news coverage this month after it appeared to confirm the authenticity of his laptop in a letter (only to try to backtrack 24 hours later). It was a curious and gratuitous move for Biden and his counsel Abbe Lowell as they called for criminal investigations into his critics, suggested lawsuits against media, and even argued that the tax-exempt status of some groups be rescinded by the IRS. Now, however, the team is moving in a far more precarious direction. They seem to be adopting the strategy of Steve Bannon that resulted in his conviction for contempt of Congress. Lowell categorically refused to turn over material to Congress this week, leaving his client open to a subpoena and possible prosecution. The move may have thrilled hardcore Democrats, but it is the Republicans who should be most ecstatic with Hunter's initial position. Lowell has declared the oversight investigation in the Biden family's alleged influence peddling as illegitimate and has refused to turn over records related to its investigation.

[The] Secret Service [is being] accused of a 'cover-up'. The Secret Service has been accused of a 'cover-up' over its alleged involvement in a police investigation when Hunter Biden's lover dumped his gun in a trash can near a school in 2018. Judicial Watch, a justice watchdog nonprofit, announced on Friday that it received 487 pages of Secret Service (USSS) records over the incident, and says the documents cast further doubt over the agency's claims that it was not involved. Hunter's lover and brother's widow, Hallie Biden, left his .38 handgun at the top of a trash can at Jansens supermarket in Wilmington, Delaware in October 2018, sparking a police probe.

Closing In on the Classified Cover-up. At the center of the Biden document cover-up is the question of who blocked the National Archives and Records Administration from informing the U.S. public about the classified records found in the president's office in early November. The archives' general counsel told members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability that he couldn't divulge that information, but GOP House leadership concluded that only Attorney General Merrick Garland or Biden himself could have given those orders. But there's a third powerful name in play, this one from outside of the government: David Rubenstein. Co-founder of the Washington, D.C.-based private equity firm the Carlyle Group, Rubenstein is one of the archives' most generous patrons.

Joe Biden Tried to Sunset Social Security, All Other Federal Programs as a Senator. Joe Biden introduced legislation that would sunset all federal programs, including social security, every four years when he was a freshman United States senator in 1975. On Tuesday night at the State of the Union, Biden stated that "some Republicans" wish to "sunset" social security and Medicare, leading to significant pushback from GOP lawmakers on the House floor while millions watched. [...] But Biden made an even more aggressive proposal when he represented Delaware in the United States Senate, seeking "to sunset all federal programs, including social security and Medicare," every four years, Fox News reported, when he introduced S. 2067 on July 19, 1975. Biden's central argument for reviewing all programs was the rapid increase of the federal budget.

Who Owns Joe Biden? Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec delved into President Joe Biden's links to foreign regimes on Tuesday by discussing the millions in donations he has received to the Biden Institute at the University of Delaware. According to an analysis by the Washington Free Beacon, which conducted a review of US Department of Education records, the institute has received $23,610,996 from Saudi Arabia, $6,704,250 from China, $2,513,646 from Oman, and $1,673,847 from Turkey[.] "Who owns President Biden?" Posobiec asked. "China, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Turkey gave millions to the University of Delaware, after the creation of the Biden Institute, the University of Delaware is one of those institutions of higher education that is known for absolutely nothing, really."

Biden Just Admitted He's Responsible For Today's Energy Crisis. At about the mid-point of President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech, he went off script. If you missed the importance of it, so did we, until we read about it on PJ Media. Because it confirms exactly what we've been saying was the real cause of high gas prices — namely, Biden's war on energy. According to the official transcript of the speech, Biden was supposed to say: ["]You may have noticed that Big Oil just reported record profits. Last year, they made $200 billion in the midst of a global energy crisis. It's outrageous. They invested too little of that profit to increase domestic production and keep gas prices down. Instead, they used those record profits to buy back their own stock, rewarding their CEOs and shareholders. Corporations ought to do the right thing.["] [...] Here's what he actually said during his speech: ["]Have you noticed — Big Oil just reported its profits. Record profits. Last year, they made $200 billion in the midst of a global energy crisis. I think it's outrageous. Why? They invested too little of that profit to increase domestic production. And when I talked to a couple of them, they say, 'We were afraid you were going to shut down all the oil wells and all the oil refineries anyway, so why should we invest in them?' I said, 'We're going to need oil for at least another decade, and that's going to exceed ...' — (laughter) — and beyond that. We're going to need it. Production.["] Biden's White House handlers can't be happy that he ad-libbed that anecdote. Because by doing so he pointed the finger of blame for high energy prices directly at himself.

Chuck Grassley: Whistleblowers Say FBI Has Evidence Joe Biden Involved in Family Business Schemes. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who testified Thursday before the House's new Select Subcommittee on Political Weaponization, said whistleblower disclosures indicate the FBI has evidence that President Joe Biden is aware of the family business schemes, a statement that directly contradicts the president. Joe Biden and his staff have claimed seven times that he's had no part in the family business schemes. "I've never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. Here's what I know — I know Trump deserves to be investigated,"Biden claimed in 2019. But Sen. Grassley, speaking before the first "Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government" hearing, told House members that whistleblower disclosures "make clear the FBI has within its possession very significant, impactful, and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter and James Biden." "These disclosures also allege that Joe Biden was aware of Hunter Biden's business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them," Grassley added.

Biden's silence on the classified documents is deafening. When will this scavenger hunt end? That's what Americans across this country are asking themselves as more classified material is found improperly stored by President Biden. If the Biden administration had its way, you wouldn't even know about it. [...] I am also concerned about who had access to Biden's unsecured documents given the Biden family's financial connections to foreign actors and influence-peddling schemes. Oversight Republicans have been following the Biden family and associates' money trail — consisting of international transactions worth millions of dollars — and seeking to provide answers to the American people. Everyone deserves to know whether the president's connections to his family's shady business deals occurred at the expense of American interests.

Biden downs more balloons — that monitor the border. This story hasn't drawn many headlines (for obvious reasons), but it's the latest in a series of very clear signals that not only is the Biden administration not making any effort to close the southern border, but it is actively working to make the job of the Border Patrol harder. The CBP had been operating a dozen blimps with cameras to monitor some of the more remote regions of the border. For the most part, they don't actively help in capturing illegal aliens who enter the country, but they do allow Customs and Border Patrol to monitor and count the number of "gotaways" that make it into the interior of the country. Last year, however, eight of the balloons were eliminated. And now the final four are being taken offline.

Biden Finally Finds a Balloon He Wants To Take Down: Surveillance Blimps at the Southern Border. After refusing for days last week to shoot down China's spy balloon, the Biden administration finally found airships they are happy to take down: surveillance blimps that monitor the southern border. The Biden administration is taking the blimps, which allow agents to detect illegal migrant activity over long periods of time, out of commission due to funding cuts, Fox News reported. While there were 12 surveillance balloons in operation last year, only four remain. Customs and Border Protection agents told Fox that the removal of the blimps, known in the agency as their "Eyes in the Sky," will drastically hinder their ability to track illegal immigrants who evade detention at the border. As of January, there were 1.2 million "gotaways" since Biden took office.

They Weren't Duped': Sen. Ron Johnson Shreds Federal Agencies, Media For Being 'Vital Partners' Of The Left. Republican Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson shredded federal agencies and the corporate media for working with Democratic operatives to promote "left-wing ideology" in the past several years. Johnson criticized agencies for allegedly covering for left-wing politicians while simultaneously targeting former President Donald Trump and other conservatives in the years following the 2016 presidential election. He accused the media of complying with the FBI in investigating the now-discredited allegations that Russia colluded with the 2016 Trump campaign and covering up the Hunter Biden laptop story. "It is important to recognize corrupt individuals within federal agencies that I am talking about are not acting alone. They operate as vital partners of the left-wing political movement and includes most members of the mainstream media, Big Tech, social media giants, global institutions and foundations, Democrat Party operatives and elected officials. As the Twitter Files reveal, these actors worked in concert to defeat their political opponents and promote left-wing ideology and government control over our lives."

Hunter Biden Denies Oversight Committee's Request for Bank, Communications Records, Citing No 'Oversight Basis'. Hunter Biden's very expensive and high-powered legal team denied House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer's (R-KY) letter demanding the president's son disclose troves of documents and communications relevant to the investigation into the Biden family for wire fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering, among six other potential violations. Attorney Abbe Lowell, who represents high-profile individuals engulfed in political scandals, such as Bill Clinton and Jared Kushner, told Comer that his demands lacked "legitimate legislative and oversight basis" to request such relevant information. On Wednesday evening [2/8/2023], Comer asked Hunter and James Biden, along with the family's business partner Eric Schwerin, disclose a host of both classified and unclassified documents, records, and communications between business associates and family members, including President Joe Biden.

10 Brand New Hunter Biden Breaking Stories the Nets Are Burying. On Wednesday, Congress begins their first public hearings on President Joe Biden's family, including his son Hunter and his ties (revealed in his infamous laptop) to foreign companies. These hearings give the broadcast networks a new opportunity to actually cover these new developments, especially the ones linked to Joe "Big Guy" Biden. At NewsBusters we've been documenting how the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) news networks have been censoring the revelations from Hunter's laptop on their evening, morning and Sunday roundtable shows. It's not just the salacious stories being ignored (drug use, illegal gun possession, hookers, nude photos) that would've been widely covered if it was a Republican President's son. There are the more pertinent cases that put a lie to President Biden's 2019 claim: "I've never spoken to my son [Hunter] about his overseas business dealings!"

The Democratic litany of Hunter Biden's laptop lies. So many lies were told at the House Oversight's first committee hearing Wednesday into the corruption scandal involving Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop and the subsequent cover up by the FBI with social-media firms to rig the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden. Or, as Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez tried to rebrand it: "Hunter Biden's half-fake laptop." It's a sign of desperation that more than two years after The Post published the first bombshell story from the laptop, Dems can't get their stories straight on what the laptop really is. Is it Hunter's property, his "personal data" that was stolen from him, as his lawyers claimed last week in letters demanding the Department of Justice investigate John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner of the Delaware computer repair shop where Hunter abandoned his laptop while a crack addict in April 2019? Or is it the "so-called laptop," as Hunter's lawyers claimed in a backflip clarification the next day?

The President Who Wasn't There. Joe Biden very well may be the worst president in generations... worse than Jimmy Carter, and I can already hear the sound of a thousand readers uttering simultaneously, "And that's saying something!" I’m not saying it's not a close call, but one of the reasons we even remember how awful Carter was is that he had a notable presence. He made decisions. They were all wrong, but they were all his, and America knew that. [...] Joe Biden is the un-present President... the confused Commander-in-Chief... the lost leader. It is hard to really even be mad at him. Biden doesn't seem to be making choices, good or bad. He doesn't give off an aura of authority, and we don't see enough of him to think he's just a really dumb leader making really dumb decisions. This President simply isn't there. He is nowhere he needs to be when he needs to be there, it seems. He spends a disturbing amount of time in his Delaware home. At this point, it may be close to at least half his time spent at his personal compound. That's just what we know about. My uninformed suspicion is that Mr. Biden spends quite a bit of unreported time at his personal compound.

Hunter Biden, victim. Did I say DNC spin-writers are good? They're grrrrrrrrrrreat! Look at how their spin on Hunter Biden's laptop and its evidence of multiple felonies. In their fantasy, Hunter is not the betrayer of the nation but a victim of property theft and invasion of privacy. New York magazine was among the first to peddle this fiction to its readers in a September 12, 2022, story by Andrew Rice and Olivia Nuzzi. They wrote, "Now imagine that you are both the son of a man running for president and a lawyer and lobbyist accustomed to mixing with powerful people and doing business overseas premised on your proximity to those powerful people, and that you are in the throes of a divorce and a midlife catastrophe brought on by the early death of your older brother and that, in your distortion field of grief, on a hell-bent drug-and-alcohol binge, you have been making even more horrible choices, taking up with your brother's widow and, while in considerable financial debt, hiring prostitutes and zoning out with camgirls and staying awake for days at a time on crack cocaine and generally hurting everyone in your life who is trying to help you with your cruel and idiotic behavior." That poor man. [...] How dare the media — well, just the New York Post — report on his felonies. [...] Maybe he should not have taken bribes. Maybe he should not put stuff on his laptop that foreign countries could use as blackmail. Maybe he should not abandon his laptop at a computer repair shop. Making a big deal about his corruption and seedy lifestyle is so unfair.

Biden Blithely Admits One of Documents FBI Seized From His Home Is From 1974 in Troubling PBS Interview. Joe Biden just did an interview with PBS's Judy Woodruff after not having done an interview in quite some time. [...] I'm not sure why his attorneys let him do an interview and answer questions on this subject. Or maybe they told him not to speak about it, but Joe just can't keep his mouth shut. But this is typical of Biden — trying to blame other people for his actions. So he wants us to believe it's the fault of the folks that cleaned out his offices and didn't look through his papers? They shouldn't have to root through his papers for classified documents, they're not supposed to be there anyway. What were such documents doing among his papers, to begin with? And in his home? And in his office? He's the common element. It's just not a credible claim. How does he have a document from 1974 from when he was in the Senate, where they require people to view things in a SCIF, and they cannot legally remove any classified documents? He just put himself on the hook now with that.

Hunter Biden Exclusive: Burisma Asked Hunter to End Ukraine Investigation on Company — Then Joe Biden Threatened Ukraine and Had Investigator Fired. Who can forget Joe Biden's presentation in front of the Council on Foreign Relations event after the 2016 Election? In his own words, with cameras rolling, Joe Biden described how he threatened the Ukrainian President and said that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if Ukraine didn't immediately fire the prosecutor investigating Burmisa Holdings. Joe's son Hunter was on the Board of Burisma making tens of thousands a month for doing nothing but "fixing things". Biden said: ["]I said, 'You're not getting the billion dollars. I said you're not getting the billion. I'm going to be leaving here, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: We're leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money. [... "]

General Flynn: Vice President Biden Visited Ukraine 12-13 Times in His Last Year as VP — All Of These Trips Need to be Investigated!. Earlier on Wednesday The Gateway Pundit's Jim and Joe Hoft interviewed General Michael Flynn on the Hunter Biden laptop. During our conversation, General Flynn pointed out that Joe Biden visited Ukraine 12 or 13 times his last year as vice president. Why? And why did Obama allow this? Obama is as much at fault as Joe Biden. [Tweet] General Flynn is calling on Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan to investigate every single one of these trips.

Republicans tear into Biden's 'lies' as he repeats misleading claims he has created more jobs than any other president. Joe Biden used Tuesday night's State of the Union to tout his economic accomplishments, express his optimism for the future and urge Republicans to work with him. However, it became an unusually chaotic night as many Republicans loudly voiced their anger at some of Biden's claims, particularly over his administration's handling of the fentanyl crisis, with cries of 'liar!', 'it's all your fault' and 'secure the border'. Biden attempted to hit back and continued to call for bipartisanship, but the message that is set to underpin his likely reelection announcement was repeatedly attacked.

Joe Biden's 2023 State of the Union is his campaign manifesto and he's just taken a big gamble. Joe Biden is running for president again and his second State of the Union address was his campaign manifesto headlined by the notion of "finish the job" as his rallying cry. Most Americans today, however, want Biden to finish up his job and move over for someone else. Clearly, this president has no intention of backing down from an all-out effort to stay in office even as polls show a majority of Democrats want him to stick to one term.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders Says Biden 'Surrendered His Presidency' to Woke Left in GOP State of the Union Response. In her Republican rebuttal to the State of the Union address Tuesday, newly elected Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that the Biden administration has been hijacked by the woke left, fostering an absurd political environment in which "the choice is between normal or crazy." Sanders, who previously served as press secretary to former president Trump, began her speech by drawing a generational juxtaposition with Biden, noting that, at 40, she's the youngest sitting governor, while Biden is the oldest ever sitting president. "I'm the first woman to lead my state. And he's the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can't even tell you what woman is," she said. She went on to argue that Biden has been captured by the progressive wing of the Democratic party and its radical platform, "whether he believes it or not."

Putting lipstick on a pig:
Biden Touts Delayed Downing of Chinese Spy Balloon as Sign of American Resolve. During his State of the Union Address Tuesday night, President Joe Biden cast the recent downing of a suspected Chinese spy balloon as a signal of American resolve, despite the fact that the balloon was not shot down until a week after it entered U.S. airspace and days after it was allowed to hover over sensitive military facilities in Montana. America is currently "in the strongest position in decades to compete with China or anyone else in the world," Biden said before a joint session of Congress. "But make no mistake: as we made clear last week, if China's threatens our sovereignty, we will act to protect our country. And we did. And let's be clear: winning the competition with China should unite all of us. We face serious challenges across the world. Not anymore," he added. The balloon was shot down on Saturday off the Carolina coast, one week after it was allowed to enter U.S. airspace over the Aleutian Islands and traverse over much of the Northwest U.S., including some time spent hovering over Montana's Malmstrom Air Force Base, a sensitive military facility that houses nuclear-missile silos.

The unbearable lightness of Joe Biden. The shark grins. The sarcastic "Come on, Man" at any dared query regarding the most recent, massively horrible, Biden-originated turn of human events. The Vegas, tinsel-town Mafiaesque little woman. The reflexive, haughty denial of any errors. Father of a daughter of the vacant, abused stare and a son of the pathetic "Look at me, I'm a mess" unpunished crimes and demeanors. The flat-out ignorance of, e.g., political history, political philosophy, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and his own employees' names. The repeated lies about who he is, what he's done, where he's been, and whom he's done it to. The fraudulent Catholicism. The self-enriching money trails all over the planet. The military and geopolitical cowardice. The tiresome 60s once dead-and-buried white adolescent radicalism. The suck-up-to-ObamaWorld ice cream cones and wobbly bike rides. [...] Of course, there's more, but how can we stand it for much longer?

The Biden Family Problems are Converging. The Biden family (as in crime family) legal problems are beginning to converge in an interesting way. It may be the formation of a perfect political storm. Objective observers (which excludes the MSM) recognize that the Biden clan has had some shady financial dealings. With recent events, the evidence is becoming undeniable. As criminals often do, one of the co-conspirators may need to turn on the other to cover his tail. In this case, Hunter Biden may be the one protecting himself at his partner's expense — with Joe Biden being the partner left holding the bag. I like those movies where a criminal mastermind pulls off an impossible heist and leaves no evidence behind. A Hunter Biden caper doesn't look anything like that. He traveled the world selling influence and information (some of which may have been classified) provided by his father. His primary clients appear to be Ukraine and China. That would be the very Ukraine that President Asterisk made generous military gifts to, and the China that he refuses to hold accountable for anything.

Report: Hunter Weighs Launching Legal Defense Fund to Afford High-Powered Lawyers Costing $100K/Month. Hunter Biden is reportedly weighing the creation of a legal defense fund to cover the charges of his high-powered attorneys, which experts estimate to cost at least $100,000 per month. It is unknown who would run the fund and what types of "parameters or confidentiality rules would be adopted" to avoid compromising Hunter's father, the Washington Post reported. It is unclear if foreign money would be accepted by the fund or who would be interested in defending Hunter from both the Justice Department and congressional probes.

House Oversight Chair James Comer is building a killer case against Joe Biden. When they hear James Comer speak with his lilting south-central Kentucky accent and courteous style, it would be an easy mistake for Democrats and targets of his newly fanged House Oversight Committee to underestimate the former Monroe County cattle farmer. But Comer is a killer — and corruption is his prey. Everything has changed in Washington since the Republicans won back the House, and Comer, as chairman of the Oversight Committee, is champing at the bit to hold the Biden administration accountable. That includes getting to the bottom of the Biden family corruption as revealed in Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop, and elsewhere, using the awesome power of Congress. "This is not about Hunter Biden," Comer said last week in a broad-ranging interview with The [New York] Post. "It's about Joe Biden." He aims to "prove Joe benefited financially and prove he made decisions against the best interests of the United States."

Joe Biden Lawyers Likely Conduct[ed] Cleansing Operation Of Hunter-Related Material When [They] Stumbled On Classified Docs. I don't think that when the lawyers originally discovered that there were classified documents at the UPenn satellite office in Washington, DC, I don't think they were actually looking for classified documents. I think they were looking for things regarding Hunter Biden's business dealings, Joe Biden's dealings with foreign governments on behalf of Hunter Biden, that were in his vice presidential papers that were kept at UPenn. I think they were looking for other things because they knew that Republicans were going to be taking over the Congress and would have subpoena power, and Republicans could subpoena UPenn to turn over all those documents and all those records. If the records are not physically at UPenn, Republicans in the House can't [subpeona UPenn). They'd have to subpoena Biden, which raises all sorts of issues.

That's how the rep makes his money. What else could he say?
Art dealer representing Hunter Biden calls him 'one of the most consequential artists in this century'. The art dealer representing Hunter Biden said the president's son had the potential to be one of the most influential painters of the modern era, but declined to say whether he'd cooperate with a congressional investigation into sales of the art. Georges Bergès, who has been overseeing the sale of Biden's paintings, said the 53-year-old would 'become one of the most consequential artists in this century.' His comments came as the New York Post pressed him on whether he would comply with requests from the House Oversight Committee, which asked to see the names of individuals who purchased Biden's artwork and the price they paid for it.

The Unclassified Docs Biden's Lawyers Were Searching May Be The Key To The Real Scandal. Maybe the classified documents are a distraction. Maybe the classified documents were not sought, but found inadvertently when looking for unclassified documents regarding Biden family foreign dealings and the funneling of foreign money to The Big Guy. With it clear that Republican-led House committees were going to be issuing subpoenas, Team Biden needed to make sure the Biden Center at U. Penn (in D.C.) was not in a position to produce those boxes in response to a subpoena. What better way to solve the problem than to move the boxes. But knowing there was potentially damaging documents in there, you needed lawyers with a duty of loyalty to their client (Joe) to do the work. They needed not only to move things, but to know what damaging material might already have been seen by others.

Who is running our government? Classified documents, everywhere, and by everyone: Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Mike Pence... and the list keeps growing. Now there are questions about Barack Obama, who took 30,000,000 documents to his Presidential library (it's doubtful he even knows what he has) and who has ignored the National Archive's requests for their return. This is just more evidence of what the American people have learned really exists: The Deep State. The Deep State successfully ousted Trump with constant leaks and political chicanery against a sitting president, all to foment distrust and dishonor, and to make his life and office a living Hades. Pelosi's Congress was no slouch either and impeached him a second time, even after he left office (with the first impeachment over a phone call!). Then came the most stunning election upset in history, after Joe Biden stayed in his basement for the entire election campaign while the media campaigned for him. Biden brought nothing to the election — no soaring rhetoric, no catchphrases, no crowds, yet somehow not only unseated Trump but also garnered the most votes in American history. Now, though, it appears that Biden, having unseated Trump, must go too. This would be hilarious if it weren't so serious insofar as it indicates that an actual cabal controls our government.

Hunter Biden Alcoa email promising Russian oligarch info raises fresh concern about Joe's access. A Hunter Biden email sent to an American aluminum company and promising information on Russian oligarchs is raising fresh concerns about the first son's access to classified documents recently discovered in his father's Wilmington, Del., home as lawmakers prepare to investigate allegations of influence peddling. Documents dating back to 2011 on his notorious "laptop from hell" showed Hunter offered to sell intelligence on Russian oligarchs to the US aluminum firm Alcoa Inc. for $55,000, according to The Post's exclusive October 2021 report. As his father served as former President Barack Obama's second-in-command, Hunter Biden offered to provide a "statistical analysis of political and corporate risks, elite networks associated with Oleg Deripaska, the Russian CEO of Basic Element company and United company RUSAL," which had just signed a metal supply agreement with Alcoa.

The Stench of Fascism Is Suffocating our Democracy. ... but nobody wants to talk about it. We sanitize our language so that classified documents strewn over unsecured garages and centers of Chinese influence are talked about as though it's a matter of carelessness and not design. The indisputable brute fact is this: our commander-in-chief and his family have made themselves wealthy by taking bribes from foreign powers, chief among them our mortal enemy Communist China. Nobody seems to be asking, but how exactly were the inexplicable decisions to turn Afghanistan over to China and the Taliban made, and what American interest was served by this? In classic fascist fashion, the Biden administration has suborned the intelligence community and the Department of Justice to censor and harass its political opponents. These include school parents and Capitol trespassers whom it libels and imprisons as "domestic terrorists" and (unarmed) "insurrectionists." In typical fascist moves, it has suborned corporate America into spying on its political opponents with the goal of cancelling them and silencing their opinions. Just this week AT&T shut down the fastest growing and fourth largest cable news network, Newsmax TV, depriving 13 million viewers of access to its reporting. This attack on the First Amendment came on the heels of Twitter's exposure of the way the FBI had put its platform on the federal payroll and dictated its censorship of tweets that could have changed the results of the last presidential election. The same fascistic arrangement was made with other tech social media giants like Facebook.

The ever-shifting excuses about Hunter Biden's laptop. Just look at this long list of Hunter's defenses, one crumbling after the other, [...]
• It's not my computer. That was Hunter's original defense, and he still hasn't completely abandoned it.
• I'm not sure if it's my computer. That was his backup defense.
• I have no idea if I left any computer at that repair shop. Who knows? I'm not admitting that's my signature on the shop's release form. It could be a forgery. [...]
• What about the chain of custody for that computer's hard drive? It's very fishy. The information could well be fake. [...]
• The [New York] Post story about the computer is worthless because they got it from unreliable sources. Years later, CBS News confirmed that the computer's contents were authentic.
• This stuff about Hunter's computer has all the earmarks of a classic Russian disinformation campaign. So said 51 former US intelligence agents, many of them high-ranking and still closely connected to the intel community. Even today, they won't admit they were wrong. [...]
• It definitely is Russian disinformation. That was Joe Biden's public statement when the Post broke the story. [...]
• Okay, it really is Hunter's computer. That's what his lawyers finally seemed to say only to be called out and retract it. The lawyers managed to tie themselves in knots thanks to their scorched-earth PR campaign in anticipation of Hunter's indictment. One of their stratagems is to threaten media outlets with lawsuits if they disclose anything on the laptop, claiming that information is private and belongs to Hunter. Unfortunately for Hunter's team, that very threat seemed to acknowledge, for the first time, that the computer really was Hunter's. "Oops. Not so fast," said the lawyers. "We admit nothing. We're not saying the computer belonged to Hunter. We're just saying that any information on it is his personal information and you don't have any right to share it." [...]
Does the sleazy information on Hunter's computer really matter? Only if it reveals something important about how the Biden family grifting operation worked and especially how Joe Biden contributed to it. What role did he play as vice president (and perhaps earlier as senator)? What did he know about Hunter's contacts with foreign businesses? How did Joe's actions in office contribute to the lucrative arrangements made by Hunter and Joe's brothers? How were the profits shared? Remember, Joe has denied all knowledge of Hunter's business affairs and, of course, denied profiting from them.

Hunter Biden: More Depraved Than You Knew. I thought my opinion of the Biden family, and Hunter Biden in particular, couldn't possibly go lower. But I was wrong. From a New York Post link, I learned about Marco Polo, a group that I don't necessarily endorse — I don't know enough about them — but that has devoted a lot of time to studying the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop. [...] Hunter Biden's daily preoccupations are (or were, until recently) crack cocaine and prostitutes. His most frequent communications were with crack dealers and pimps, lining up and paying for prostitutes. It goes on and on, day after day. Is there a drug dealer or a pimp on the East Coast, or in California, who is not on close personal terms with Hunter Biden? The amount of money Hunter ran through was extraordinary. Where did he get it? Not through any legal and gainful employment, certainly. It is reasonable to assume that Hunter's share of the Biden crime family's loot went for crack and prostitutes. Follow the link for details: it went on day after day. Frankly, it is surprising that Hunter is still alive.

Biden took out $250K line of credit against Delaware beach home amid Hunter probe, classified docs scandal. President Biden secured a $250,000 line of credit against his Rehobeth Beach, Delaware, home as his son, Hunter Biden, faces an investigation into his tax affairs and amid his own classified documents scandal, records obtained by Fox News Digital shows. Biden acquired the six-figure home equity variable rate line of credit from M&T Bank on Dec. 5, 2022, Sussex County filings show. Biden and his wife, first lady Jill Biden, initially purchased the residence in 2017 for $2.74 million, according to county records. It is unclear why Biden quietly secured the line of credit, which allows him to borrow up to a quarter of a million dollars against his home's equity, and the White House did not respond to a Fox News Digital inquiry on the matter.

Top Republicans say they aren't swayed by tactics of Biden's son's lawyers. Republican lawmakers indicated to DailyMail.com on Thursday that they're unperturbed by the aggressive new strategy rolled out by Hunter Biden's legal team to combat a litany of inquiries into his foreign business dealings. It comes after his attorney, Abbe Lowell, wrote to the Justice Department calling for investigations into Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump's former adviser Steve Bannon, as well as former computer repair store owner John Paul Mac Isaac.' Lowell accuses them of having 'violated various Delaware laws in accessing, copying, manipulating, and/or disseminating Mr. Biden's personal computer data' with the regards to the laptop hard drive at the center of a firestorm of controversy for President Joe Biden's family.

50 ways for experts to lose their expertise. It turns out that everyone was lying, including those 50 experts who called the laptop Russian misinformation. Can't wait to see one of the 50 explain it to Representative Jim Jordan now that Hunter Biden admitted the laptop is his. Wouldn't you love to see the Trump-Biden second debate now that we know that it was his laptop? As you may remember, President Trump kept bringing up Hunter and Biden the experts. In other words, the whole Russia-Trump story, from collusion to the laptop to Hamilton 68, was fake.

'Desperate' Hunter Biden trying to shirk blame for laptop crimes, lawyer says. First son Hunter Biden wants to duck responsibility for his own wrongdoing by sicking Delaware and federal law enforcement on the computer repair shop owner who blew the whistle on the infamous "laptop from hell," a lawyer for John Paul Mac Isaac told The Post Thursday. Mac Isaac, who owned The Mac Shop in Wilmington, Del., was accused by Hunter's lawyer of "unlawfully" accessing the now-52-year-old's personal data after the laptop was abandoned at his store in 2019. The Biden scion's attorney, Abbe Lowell, fired off a pair of letters on Wednesday urging prosecutors to probe Mac Isaac and others, including former President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, for spreading the laptop's sordid contents publicly — only to continue to deny the laptop belonged to Hunter a day later.

Can You Believe the Chutzpah of This Guy? Hunter Biden has begun an aggressive counterattack against his accusers by asking the Department of Justice to open a criminal investigation into Trump allies who he claims illegally accessed the computer he abandoned and left at a Delaware repair shop. Biden's lawyers are also suing Fox News host Tucker Carlson for making "false and defamatory claims" that Biden's son had access to classified documents stored at his father's home. This salvo from Hunter Biden represents a new White House strategy that will play out during all the investigations into the president, his son, and Democrats as Republicans ramp up a long list of investigations now that they have control of the House.

Hunter Biden's Utterly Ridiculous Prosecution Demands. Hunter Biden's decision to write letters to the Department of Justice, the Delaware attorney general, and the Internal Revenue Service demanding investigations and prosecutions of his critics — such as Tucker Carlson, Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon and others — is being touted as "aggressive." To me, it looks stupid. Probably the easiest way to ensure that a criminal investigation is perceived as a partisan vendetta is for it to begin after the president's son publicly demands it. Almost everyone Hunter Biden's lawyers wrote to either has close ties to the Biden family or owe their jobs to Joe Biden's nominating them to the position, and they ultimately answer to the president. By publicly demanding that federal and state prosecutors unleash the hounds, Hunter Biden has ensured that anyone who does prosecute his foes looks like they're obeying the commands of the president's spoiled, screw-up son.

Hunter Biden Finally Admits Infamous Laptop Is HIS. Hunter Biden is going on the offense with his lawyers now asking the Justice Department to investigate former President Donald Trump's allies, who peddled his laptop's hard drive to media outlets in the run-up to the 2020 election. The first son's lawyer Abbe Lowell asked the DOJ to probe former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, campaign lawyer and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Giuliani's lawyer and the owner of the Wilmington computer repair shop, John Paul Mac Isaac, who obtained the laptop in April 2019. Using passages from Mac Isaac's book, American Injustice: My Battle to Expose the Truth, Lowell notes that Mac Isaac sent a copy of the laptop data to Giuliani's lawyer Robert Costello who turned it over to the ex-mayor, who at the time was pushing discredited theories about the younger Biden.

When Joe Biden Declared War On Half the Country. On September 1, 2022, in a nationally televised address, the nominal president of the United States, Joe Biden, declared war on half the country. In a dark, threatening speech before an ominous red-and-black background and flanked by two Marines in full dress uniform, Biden declared that "Donald Trump and the MAGA [Make America Great Again] Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic." For the first time in American history, a president declared that his primary political opposition was outside the bounds of acceptable political discourse. The message couldn't have been clearer: The establishment Left, entrenched in power in the United States but deeply afraid of losing that power, was intent on criminalizing political opposition. Dissent from Biden's agenda and you could end up with the thought police breaking down your door at four a.m. Probably more out of historical illiteracy than historical awareness, Biden's handlers chose the 83rd anniversary of Hitler's invasion of Poland and the beginning of World War II for Biden's profoundly disturbing and un-American speech.

Biden Ramps Up Another Far-Left Obsession by Claiming Climate Change Worse Than 'Nuclear Weapons'. We've been covering lately how President Joe Biden and his administration are particularly obsessed with abortion, but on Tuesday afternoon the president reminded how he's equally overly focused on another Democratic talking point, which would be climate change. Biden addressed the issue during a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in New York City. Not only did he warn about climate change when it comes to emphasize we have "a real big problem," he claimed that it's even worse than nuclear weapons. "If we don't stay under 1.5 degrees Celsius incr- — we're going to have a real problem," he said, stumbling over his words. "It's the single-most existential threat to humanity we've ever faced, including nuclear weapons." On its face, it's a pretty stunning statement.

Fix is in: FBI bungling case against Biden over top-secret documents. The FBI issued the "all clear" on its latest search of one of President Biden's residences. The announcement came with the first day of special counsel Robert Hur on the job at the Justice Department. Hur may find that the Biden legal team feels that "all clear" extends beyond the latest search. It could be challenging to make a criminal case after how the investigation has been handled. At every stage, the FBI has adopted an approach that would compromise or complicate any criminal charge. The FBI left the home untouched for over three months after classified documents were found in Biden's former office in DC. While it was recently learned that the FBI did go to that office a couple weeks later, they reportedly elected to have personal counsel for the president conduct searches on the residences. Biden then spent weeks traveling to these residences after the FBI waited to search the premises.

DOJ is at Biden's Delaware beach home. So why ignore the treasure trove of documents down the road? The FBI search of President Joe Biden's vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Wednesday, continues the search for classified material in various homes and work spaces used by the president and his family in the past decade. What is surprising about Wednesday's search is not the fact that a sitting president has now been subject to two FBI searches of his residences, but the fact that this search has come roughly three months after the first discovery of documents in a closet in Washington. Despite that rather lackadaisical record, Biden's personal counsel Bob Bauer still stated on Wednesday, with no sense of irony, that this has been a "timely DOJ process." It is "timely" if you use glacial measurements.

Let's see the list of his previous buyers.
So Hunter Biden's 'masterpieces' aren't quite selling like hotcakes for top dollar. Is the Biden money-making machine gig up? Sure looks like it, given the situation with artistic genius, Hunter Biden. [...] Leaving aside the issue of a legal defense fund and taking one step back, it appears that the art world wasn't exactly fooled by the hype and publicity about Hunter Biden's amazing and newly discovered art talent, with newbie paintings supposedly being ready to sell for $500,000 a pop and he never did become the hottest thing around at the galleries. After all, that was the plan, wasn't it? The celebs showed up at his gallery opening, and the $500,000 sales estimates for his blow-pipe paintings suggested on paper at least that Hunter had some extraordinary talent, and collectors were just itching to get their hands on his glorious oeuvres. For a new artist to start selling paintings at $500,000, it would have to be someone from whom the demand was extraordinarily strong.

Hunter Biden Paintings [are] Worth Less Than His Mounting Legal Bills. Hunter Biden is in financial turmoil after his paintings sold for less than the six-figure price tags estimated by his gallerist, who previously spent time in jail for making terrorist threats. The underwhelming sales have led Biden to consider launching a legal defense fund to help pay his mounting attorney bills stemming from a federal tax crime investigation and congressional inquiries into his foreign business dealings, the Washington Post reported. Biden has sold around a dozen paintings "for a fraction of the $500,000 price tag once estimated" by his Manhattan gallerist Georges Berges, according to the Post. The congressional investigations into Biden have also spooked some prospective buyers, a source told the newspaper.

Biden Hands China-linked "Green" Energy Company Another $1.6 Million. The Energy Department of Joe Biden last week announced the awarding of $1.6 million to the Chinese-backed green energy company LanzaTech — which notably also has ties to top Democratic politicians. "The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $118 million in funding for 17 projects to accelerate the production of sustainable biofuels for America's transportation and manufacturing needs," the department boasted in a Thursday press release. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the recipient of almost $2 million of these funds, carbon-capture company LanzaTech, signed a partnership in 2021 with Sinopec Capital, which is the clean energy-focused subsidiary of a Chinese state-owned oil conglomerate. In addition to the Sinopec connection, LanzaTech has raised millions of dollars from CITIC Capital, a subsidiary of the biggest state-run conglomerate in China.

The Bidens "Fixed" Crimes by Corrupt Actors for a Fee. The Biden crime family made millions off the family name in pay-for-play schemes for several decades. The Bidens likely committed several crimes including espionage. The Gateway Pundit reported this week on several likely criminal actions documented on Hunter Biden's laptop computer.

Cover-up:
National Archives was blocked from revealing Biden classified docs find: Comer. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has said the National Archives and Records Administration was prevented from notifying the public about the initial discovery of classified documents from President Biden's former DC think tank office. Comer (R-Ky.) told Fox News' "Hannity" Tuesday night that Archives general counsel Gary Stern said in a closed-door interview he could not tell lawmakers who ordered the Archives not to put out a press release announcing the Nov. 2 find at the Penn Biden Center. "There are only two people that could have given those orders, and that's either the Department of Justice with [Attorney General] Merrick Garland or the White House with Joe Biden," Comer said. "So it shows right there that this Department of Justice and this White House is interfering with this," he added.

[An] FBI Search [is] Underway at Biden's Delaware Beach Home. On Wednesday morning [2/1/2023], Joe Biden's attorney Bob Bauer revealed that the FBI is in the process of searching the president's vacation house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Agents are reportedly hunting for additional classified documents. "Today, with the President's full support and cooperation, the DOJ is conducting a planned search of his home in Rehoboth, Delaware," Bauer said in a statement. "Under DOJ's standard procedures, in the interests of operational security and integrity, it sought to do this work without advance public notice, and we agreed to cooperate." Bauer added, "The search today is a further step in a thorough and timely DOJ process we will continue to fully support and facilitate. We will have further information at the conclusion of today's search."

[The] FBI [is] searching Biden's beach home in Rehoboth for more classified documents. Federal agents are searching Joe Biden's Rehoboth beach house for classified documents, the president's attorney said on Wednesday [2/1/2023], as the crisis takes yet another troubling turn for the administration. Biden is cooperating with the search of his six-bedroom, 4,800 square foot home in the Delaware beach town, his attorney Bob Bauer said. 'Today, with the President's full support and cooperation, the DOJ is conducting a planned search of his home in Rehoboth, Delaware. Under DOJ's standard procedures, in the interests of operational security and integrity, it sought to do this work without advance public notice, and we agreed to cooperate,' Bauer said in a statement.

What Is the Penn Biden Center? My ignorance is instructive. You see, I'm somewhat of a connoisseur of think tanks. Some people are connoisseurs of the arts, food, fine wine, and even good cigars. But I, dear reader, have an odd expertise in think tanks. I've worked at, written for, and even written about think tanks. I've given lectures at and even lectures about think tanks in grad schools, describing these distinctive entities, left and right and center. [...] Given my over three decades of think tank experience, I hereby assert, definitively, with no embarrassment, that I had never heard of the Penn Biden Center until it exploded into the news. And I'm certain that that's more a product of the Penn Biden Center than anything lacking in my studious cranium. [...] So, I ventured to the website of the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy & Global Engagement. Alas, I remain even more in the dark. I found a few articles and what seem like press releases. I found no reports or policy papers, which is odd because such is the main product of a think tank. I did, however, find Joe Biden — everywhere. Biden's grinning mug is splashed all over the thing. When you first open the website, you see Biden. [...] The first is a photo of, quite appropriately, old Scranton Joe and China's Xi taking a friendly stroll together at some bridge near Beijing. I say appropriately because, as readers know, the only thing maybe worth knowing about the Penn Biden Center is its possible shady connections with Xi and China.

Biden Continues Playing Politics with COVID Emergency — House Votes to End it, Senate will Ignore. On the literal eve of a House vote to end the COVID emergency through legislation, the White House announced they would end the COVID-19 Emergency Declaration on May 11th. The managers of Biden knew they would face a bipartisan vote to end the power of the dictatorial fiat known as the COVID emergency, so they quickly rushed to give Democrats in congress cover for voting against the legislative end. In the end this is all a matter of pure politics and posturing for narrative control, because the Democrat controlled Senate is not going to take up the House bills.

The Editor says...
May 11 is three months from now. The Biden puppeteers like to boast about following the science, so what scientific facts make it impossible to end the so-called emergency today?

Why US establishment politicians are sending tanks, jets, weapons, equipment, and $100+ billion to Ukraine. [Thread reader] It has nothing to do with Ukrainian citizens, and everything to do with Deep State assets/secrets in Ukraine. Let's go back to when and where it all began. Flashback to 2005. Then Senator Obama and Senator Lugar visited former Soviet biological and chemical facilities in Ukraine, and established the US Deep State roots in Ukraine. To "counter bioweapons". [...] Obama opened the floodgates for the Deep State[, c]reated biological weapons programs with the Ukrainian government, and established connections for US oligarchs to build biolab companies in the lawless land of Ukraine. Companies like Biden's Metabiota. [...] Now with complete control of the Ukrainian government, then the Bidens began their dirty work. Biden visited Ukraine 13+ times, securing US funding for Ukrainian oligarchs. Then used his power to fire a State prosecutor who figured out Biden's kick-back/laundering scheme. So the reason why all of our tax dollars are in Ukraine, is because Ukraine is a Deep State proxy, controlled by the ruling families of the DNC/Soros. They are trying to protect their assets/secrets in Ukraine. Most consequential of which is their biological activity.

Biden's China Spy Scandal is even worse than his classified documents scandal. Baimadajie Angwang, 33, an ethnic Tibetan and naturalized U.S. citizen, was arrested in 2020 for acting as an agent of Beijing, for wire fraud, making false statements, and obstructing an official proceeding. Prosecutors charge that Angwang reported on Chinese citizens, cultivated intelligence sources, and connected Chinese officials with senior contacts in the New York Police Department. The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Eastern District of New York recently filed a motion asking federal Judge Eric R. Komitee, a Trump nominee, to dismiss the indictment due to "additional information." The Eastern District did not reveal the information or explain its relevance to the case. The move illuminates official Biden policy toward Chinese espionage in the United States.

Philly jury gives President 'Devout Catholic' a black eye. It's hard to find a sweeter and more appropriate verdict than one that was handed down from Philadelphia of all places, in the wanton federal prosecution of pro-life activist Mark Houck. [...] The whole prosecution was utter garbage, with many pro-life advocates noting that the act was done to intimidate. Who's doing the intimidating? Joe Biden's White House, of course, which would be the same Joe Biden who hails himself as a "devout Catholic." The same Joe Biden on whose watch churches and crisis pregnancy centers are being firebombed and vandalized with no consequences to the thugs. His hypocrisy is pretty big in this one, given the damage done with a vindictive prosecution so flawed even a Philly jury wouldn't go along. They must have thought they had it in the bag, and they didn't. Meanwhile, President Devout Catholic, as if to take the public's mind off this outrageous abuse of government power on his watch, was last seen claiming the pope was on his side in his federal funding for abortions.

'Devout Catholic' Joe Biden Remains Woefully Ignorant on Key Church Teaching. President Joe Biden, despite supposedly being a "devout Catholic," keeps finding himself in the news over his obsession, and the obsession of his administration, on abortion. On Tuesday [1/31/2023], we covered how his administration may be looking to declare a public health emergency declaration, this time on abortion. Earlier in the week, on Monday, Biden had also been confronted by a reporter about such a pro-abortion stance, which led to the president giving a rather head-scratching answer about his Catholic faith.

Zelensky Sent Out Government Decree to Destroy All Information on Hunter Biden's Metabiota Company on Same Day as Russian Invasion. Ukrainian President Zelensky ordered government officials to destroy all information on Hunter Biden's Metabiota Company on the same day Russia invaded the country. Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Zelensky sent out this document on February 24, 2022. DC Draino reported on this development today. [Tweet]

Democrats' Trojan horse is taking on a life of its own. A silly older man sniffing women was sold to the American people as the safe alternative to President Donald Trump. Joe Biden's assignment was to wear a suit, read words on a teleprompter, and quip. Biden was the Democrat left's version of the Trojan horse. Get the 78-year-old inside the White House pretending to be a gift to the American people, and then let the real puppet masters emerge and change the nation's demographics, destroy the economy, and transform every social norm. For two years, Biden did precisely what the Democrat socialists wanted him to do: run to podiums, mumble, and then wander away. Smile, wave, and lie. [...] So the Trojan horse flawlessly performed the task it was designed to perform. But now comes the glitch: lo and behold, the fake leader of the free world wants to stay. Somehow, in all the confusion of corruption and millions of dollars flowing from China into the Biden coffers, Joe didn't read the memo that the charade is finished after one term.

The Joe and Hunter Biden scandal convergence. Two Biden scandals are merging into one. The convergence point is President Joe Biden's house in Wilmington, Delaware. The public learned in the last few weeks that Biden stored a number of classified documents there, both in his garage, famously next to his vintage Corvette, and in his personal library. How many documents? Biden will not say.

Hunter Biden allies talking about creating legal defense fund: report. Allies of Hunter Biden have held initial discussions about starting a legal defense fund to aid the first son as Republicans ramp up congressional investigations into his business relationships and the federal probe into his taxes continues, according to a report on Tuesday. A collection of attorneys have been representing Hunter, 52, in recent years and new ones are being added as his team pursues fresh legal strategies — but the Biden scion has struggled to pay them all due to dwindling financial resources, the Washington Post reported. It's unclear exactly how much the first son owes in legal fees because some of the work has been treated as pro bono.

Republicans demand more scrutiny of President's son over documents debacle. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas wants the FBI to search Hunter Biden's homes — after classified documents were discovered inside President Biden's Wilmington residence where documents indicate Hunter kept a home office. Cruz, who has already called for a search of the thousands of boxes of Biden papers donated to the University of Delaware, pointed to a Hunter Biden email that purports to show a level of expertise in Ukraine and claimed it raised the 'inference' that the president's son may have had 'direct access' to classified info. The former presidential candidate referenced the same Hunter Biden 2014 email to his former business partner that showed fluency with internal politics of Ukraine that Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson flagged as 'suspicious.'

There's more evidence that Hunter might have been selling state secrets. Late last night, Miranda Devine wrote an essay that's ostensibly about a poll showing that Americans think that Biden was wrong to brush off the news about his squirreling classified documents as "nothing." In fact, most Americans, including Democrats, think what happened is "something." But buried in Devine's article was well-grounded speculation more interesting than poll results: She believes there's inferential evidence that Hunter Biden was openly selling national security information to foreign governments and corporations.

Third Hunter Biden Email from Laptop with Classified Information Uncovered — Classified WH Conference Call Shared with Hunter's Ukrainian Business Partners. The Biden crime family made millions in Ukraine performing nefarious and criminal activities including espionage. TGP reported on Thursday that the Bidens were using classified information to the benefit of the Hunter Biden family business. Miranda Devine from the New York Post provided one email that appeared to include classified material from the US government. [Tweet] On Sunday night TGP reported a second email that showed Hunter Biden was sharing classified information with individuals at Burisma in Ukraine which is espionage.

Did Biden Inc. Leverage Classified Documents For Profit? Leaving Washington with classified documents must be a tradition for outgoing presidents and vice presidents. Sensitive government papers have now been found in the private homes and offices of Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Mike Pence. Maybe every president going back for decades has taken documents he shouldn't have. But only one has a crooked son who could have easily accessed those documents and used them to enrich himself and his corrupt family. The public sure seems to believe that is the case. Six in 10 American voters are convinced it is likely that Biden's son Hunter used information from the unsecured classified documents found in the current president's Delaware home to sweeten "his foreign business deals."

Biden repeats his false Amtrak story for the eighth time. Joe Biden repeated an untrue story for at least the eighth time on Monday claiming an Amtrak conductor congratulated him for racking up one million miles on the train commuting between Wilmington, Delaware and Washington, D.C. The president has told this fabricated story since at least his 2020 presidential campaign.

Biden claims he had Amtrak train key, rode home 15% of time with engineers. President Biden claimed Monday that he had an Amtrak train key when he was a senator and would ride "about 15% of the time" with engineers on trips home to Delaware. The 80-year-old president shared the memory in Baltimore while touting $4 billion from his $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law that will be used to build a pair of train tunnels in the city to replace a passage from 1873. "I can say it now since there's different leadership. I used to about 15% of the time ride with the engineers, for real. And I'm the only guy that I'm aware of — when I stopped riding Amtrak — that had a key to get in the back," Biden said.

Biden: The 'Great American Road Trip Is Going to Be Fully Electrified'. President Joe Biden on Monday promoted electric vehicles again as part of his administration's push for green energy, smiling gleefully in an EV with a mask hanging underneath his chin. "On my watch, the great American road trip is going to be fully electrified. And now, through a tax credit, you can get up to $7,500 on a new electric vehicle," Biden said alongside an accompanying image, showing the president smiling in a Hummer EV. The image shows Biden with a mask under his chin and an individual in the passenger seat who remained masked up.

The Editor says...
It is a safe bet that the "individual in the passenger seat" was a federal agent, and he was steering the car, not Mr. Biden. It's almost as if Biden has the mind of a three-year-old.

Hunter Biden Alcoa email promising Russian oligarch info raises fresh concern about Joe's access. A Hunter Biden email sent to an American aluminum company and promising information on Russian oligarchs is raising fresh concerns about the first son's access to classified documents recently discovered in his father's Wilmington, Del., home as lawmakers prepare to investigate allegations of influence peddling. Documents dating back to 2011 on his notorious "laptop from hell" showed Hunter offered to sell intelligence on Russian oligarchs to the US aluminum firm Alcoa Inc. for $55,000, according to The [New York] Post's exclusive October 2021 report. As his father served as former President Barack Obama's second-in-command, Hunter Biden offered to provide a "statistical analysis of political and corporate risks, elite networks associated with Oleg Deripaska, the Russian CEO of Basic Element company and United company RUSAL," which had just signed a metal supply agreement with Alcoa.

None Dare Call It Treason; None Dare Call Them Traitors — Part one. Biden claims he has no knowledge regarding the docs, their content (his memory's shot anyway, but I think he would remember this) or how they may have got to where they were "discovered." Like many others, I have wondered why his own people (his lawyers, apparently) didn't just send the things into the shredder and... Case Closed — ha ha — in accordance with Dems' ethics. After all, if no one was missing them for years, just disappear them. So we all wonder if this is a Deep State coup of sorts: Were the docs planted and "found"? Biden was already highly unlikely to be electable by late 2023, so running was injurious to the Dems: He's a staggering, misspeaking, pathologically lying moron who barely keeps his place on a teleprompter now. Equating his Corvette's security to Classified documents' requirements was sheer idiocy.

None Dare Call It Treason; None Dare Call Them Traitors — Part Two. Consider: Joe Biden left $85 Billion in military equipment in Afghanistan when he ordered a completely ill-planned evacuation of that country, and an abandonment to the Taliban. There is no discounting the human tragedy involved, first and foremost: The U.S. servicemembers' deaths, the abandonment of American citizens (and rumored deaths in that category, too), and the stab-in-the-back to our Afghan allies. But he also left aircraft, attack helicopters, artillery, air-to-ground munitions, military vehicles, weapons, thousands of HUMVEES, machine guns, communications equipment, and other materials. But now comes a fresh consideration of that withdrawal in the light of the documents scandal - and you'll only hear it here: What "trade secrets," what associated Top Secret information, how many Classified field manuals and systems' training guides associated with advanced weaponry and munitions, were abandoned and left to the Taliban - and to the Chinese, who were said to be "reverse engineering" our equipment?

The state of our union under Biden: A weaker, less secure, more divided America. Next week, President Joe Biden will address Congress on the state of the union, as the Constitution dictates. He ought to take an honest look at the country and the many problems it faces — problems his administration has either created or worsened. Over the next week, the Washington Examiner will report on a few of the important problems plaguing the country and how they are affecting the public every day. The most glaring crisis our country faces today is at the southern border, where hundreds of thousands of immigrants are crossing into the country illegally every month, overwhelming immigration officials and border towns. Just last week, border agents confirmed that more than 1.2 million immigrants evaded immigration enforcement completely. Who knows how many of these immigrants were on the terror watch list, as at least 70,000 apprehended immigrants have been, or were part of the drug cartels flooding our cities with fentanyl. The reason the border crisis angers the public so deeply — indeed, it is almost always listed as a top concern for voters — is that it makes clear how little respect Biden's administration has for America's sovereignty.

Comer sounds alarm on Biden's mishandling of classified documents: 'Nothing' he's done is 'normal'. James Comer: ["]Nothing that Joe Biden's done with respect to mishandling these classified documents is normal. Take into consideration that he's also being investigated for influence peddling with our adversaries around the world, and it's even more concerning. Look, more information comes out every day where his son, especially, as well as his two brothers, have had shady business dealings with our adversaries around the world, and part of what they would do when they would make a pitch to these shady characters in these foreign countries is prove to them that they actually had direct access to their brother and that they had direct access to people at the highest levels of our federal government. So when we learned that Joe Biden had classified documents from all over the place and that Hunter Biden especially lived in his house where he had those classified documents, we became extra concerned, and that's why this it this investigation is of the utmost importance for the United States Congress as well as the American people.["]

New Details Raise Questions. According to a story published on Saturday, the scope of Joe Biden's classified documents scandal may be bigger than previously thought. Sources close to the investigation say in addition to classified documents, the FBI also seized notebooks from Biden's Wilmington, Del., home, which were reportedly written by Biden while he was vice president. "The notebooks were seized because Biden's notes on some of the pages relate to his official business as vice president, including details of his diplomatic engagements during the Obama administration, and may refer to classified information, this same person said, adding that the notebooks do not have classified markings on them, but some of the handwritten notes inside them could be considered as such given their sensitive content," NBC News reported. "Other pages in the notebooks, while they may not contain potentially classified information, could still be considered government property under the Presidential Records Act because they pertain to official business Biden conducted as vice president, according to the person familiar with the investigation."

Forget classified docs, show us the real haul of Biden's records in Delaware. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has repeatedly assured the public that President Biden is committed in the classified document scandal to move forward in "a very transparent way." Putting aside the refusal to share any information beyond a desire to be fully transparent, Biden has one major test awaiting him on his pledge: his senatorial records. There has been much discussion of a classified document being found in his personal library in Wilmington, but there is a huge library of Biden documents sitting in the University of Delaware. The university is sitting on Biden documents due to a cynical 2012 arrangement made by Biden when he was vice president and contemplating a run for the presidency. The president effectively locked away his records by giving them to the university, which has claimed for a decade that it is still working to organize and catalog the documents. He has refused to allow the public or the press to see the documents. With the recent reports that Biden may have included classified information in notebooks found at his residence, the status of the University of Delaware documents is becoming more and more untenable for the White House.

Fox News is helping the Democrats' Biden document narrative. When it comes to the Biden document scandal, Fox News, as the opposition media, should not be banging the same gong that the leftist media outlets are striking with fervor. And yet it is. That's not good news. President Biden's days as a politician are numbered, not because some confidential documents were 'discovered' in suspicious circumstances, but due to the "Big Picture." If you want to understand what is going on, start with the result the leftist globalists desire and work back to the event at hand. Right now, they want Biden out because he no longer serves their goals. For the four years after 2016, Democrats failed to promote anyone who could beat Trump. By 2020, they had no qualified (meaning 'able to win') candidates in the wings. They were stuck nominating and sheltering Biden solely to defeat Trump, boosting him in the primaries and through to his victory. Other acts towards Trump's permanent defeat were the Russia hoax, the two sham "impeachments," the January 6 committee, and the Mar-a-Lago raid. Biden, though, is imperfect, and Democrats must move Biden out.

Megyn Kelly Takes on Jill Biden Calling Herself 'Dr' and The Left Loses Their Mind. As we reported earlier, Jill Biden was at the NFC Championship game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers. But she wasn't with Joe Biden. She was sitting with Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL. Joe Biden went to their home in Wilmington on Sunday afternoon after spending most of the weekend in Camp David as I reported, raising questions as to why was he only going there for the evening when presumably he's just heading back to the White House on Monday. I'm surprised that she's back given that she was booed the last time that she was there. That may explain why Joe Biden wouldn't show up because he may get a greeting that he isn't going to appreciate. But once again as we've seen in the case of Jill Biden, there's now a requirement for the media to constantly refer to her as "Dr." Jill Biden.

Biden cover-up is in full swing. On President Biden's first day in office, then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki vowed that the administration would "bring transparency and truth back to government." What a useless promise. The Biden administration has turned out to be one of the most opaque, secretive and nontransparent in decades, creating the overt appearance of impropriety. After Republicans won control the House of Representatives and promised to investigate Mr. Biden's son Hunter's overseas business dealings, among others, the White House told incoming House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan to pound sand. [...] Now that the 118th Congress is up and running, the Biden administration has continued its stonewalling. Mr. Comer sent a request to the Treasury Department to provide information on Biden family financial transactions that may have been marked suspicious, with a deadline for responses last week.

WH Goes 'Outer Limits' on Jobs, Border, and That Strange Change to Biden's Schedule. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre got into some trouble on Friday, when she was grilled by Fox's Peter Doocy about the false claim the Biden team made that Joe Biden "self-reported" he had classified documents. As we noted, not only didn't Joe Biden self-report, his team hid from the American public right before the midterm election what he had done. The only reason we know about the classified documents is because Biden got nailed by the good reporting of CBS. Even then, Biden didn't fully fess up to how many finds they had at that point. But Jean-Pierre had more trouble, as well, in that press conference. She's supposed to be the one helping to explain the things that Biden says. But when neither she nor Biden can get things straight, there's an issue. How many jobs is Biden claiming he's created? Eleven, according to Jean-Pierre.

Joe Biden Is Curiously Serving Two Masters, Which Has Me Wondering. It is clear that Joe Biden is being ratted out in the classified document scandal, but by whom? [...] Joe Biden has been in politics for 50 years. He's never had a real job. The only core conviction he has is the self-aggrandizement that comes from being able to have people suck up to him due to the power and vast resources at his disposal. He's dumber than a doorknob. Yet, with 50 years of experience, he is on automatic pilot when it comes to self-preservation. He simply does what he is told and reads his teleprompter without really knowing what he is reading. Thus, I don't buy Tucker's analysis because the "powers that be" controlling him already have a pretty good gig. Why would they want to dump him?

'Dr.' Jill's Latest Actions Confirm All Is Not Well in the Biden White House. [R]ecent instances where "Dr." Jill stepped in to run interference for Joe Biden in the midst of his classified documents scandal have put a finer point on Jill Biden's sometimes domineering hold over Joe, at a time when the POTUS, who has faced questions throughout his presidency about his mental fitness to lead, hasn't officially declared that he's running for reelection — though rumors are swirling that he'll do just that sometime in February. They occurred Thursday during an AAPI Lunar New Year event at the White House. We touched on what happened at the time, but I wanted to revisit the issue because the symbolism was just eye-opening. As Biden leaves the event, a reporter shouts a question at him; that's one of the only ways they have left to reach the president, since he holds so few solo press conferences. He looks around, confused, but Jill Biden steps in and shoos the reporter away, while guiding Joe Biden away from actually having to interact with a member of the media: [Video clip]

A home office? To conduct what business?
Hunter Biden reportedly converted dad's Delaware residence containing classified docs into home office. Hunter Biden allegedly transformed his father's Wilmington, Delaware home, where classified documents have been found, into a home office that was central to his overseas business dealings, according to experts and leaked cellphone texts. This comes as allegations swirl that Hunter Biden used classified materials to profit off business deals involving energy and Ukraine, according to Fox Business. He reportedly emailed his partner in 2014 before Vice President Joe Biden flew to Ukraine. The president's son reportedly listed the Wilmington home as his address in the wake of his 2017 divorce from ex-wife Kathleen Buhle. Hunter Biden went so far as to claim that he owned the lakefront mansion on a July 2018 background check form as part of a rental application, the New York Post reported. He also used that home's address as his billing address for a personal credit card and an Apple account in 2018 and 2019. At least 12 classified documents have been found at that residence, dating back to President Biden's time in the Senate.

Biden Family Values: They like to live large. Joe Biden likes to advertise himself as ordinary 'Scranton Joe' who's a family man and "devout" Catholic to the public. A look at news rolling out about Biden's extended family in the wake of recent scandals suggests a different story. Far from being Lunchbucket Joe, House Biden is more like Venezuela's Maduro family, or Chavez family, or Cuba's Castro oligarchs. [...] All we have to do is look at the latest story from the Daily Mail about how Joe used his "pull" to get his ne'er-do-well niece Caroline a fancy new job she'd never have otherwise gotten as a convicted criminal on probation for a $100,000 credit card theft. [...] How [...] she managed to avoid prison for that is as mysterious as how Hunter Biden got into Yale. That kind of stuff happens When You're A Biden, which almost sounds like a Broadway song. What other Scranton Joe family has a "big guy" who can get every relative, down to nieces and nephews, out of any jam they get themselves into. It wasn't just her. Hunter Biden was time and time again spared charges and jail time over his tax evasion, his falsification of his gun permit application, evidence of bribery and influence peddling, and his numerous drug incidents. He lived a wild and free-spending life at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood as recently as 2018, around the time when he was occasionally driving old dad's Corvette from the Biden family garage where the misplaced classified documents were held. He seemed to have gotten a sweet deal in his string of homes around the Venice, California area.

Karine Jean-Pierre Refuses to Say Why Biden is Leaving Camp David to Go to Delaware Just for One Night on Sunday (Video). Joe Biden on Friday is departing the White House and traveling to Camp David, the presidential retreat in Catoctin Mountain Park in Maryland. Biden is leaving Camp David to go to Delaware just for one night on Sunday. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday refused to say why Biden was going to Wilmington, Delaware on Sunday night. "Is there a specific reason the president is leaving Camp David to go to Delaware just for that one night on Sunday night?" a reporter asked Karine Jean-Pierre. "I don't have anything to preview about what he's gonna be doing." Karine Jean-Pierre said.

Report: Director Of George Soros Organization Has Visited Biden White House Over A Dozen Times. The Biden administration is apparently even more friendly to left wing billionaire George Soros than the Obama administration was. A director at the Soros Open Society Foundation has visited the Biden White House over a dozen times. What do you suppose was discussed?

Treasury Withholds Biden Family Suspicious Bank Records, James Comer Threatens Subpoena. The Treasury Department on Wednesday denied the House Oversight Committee's request to disclose 150 suspicious reports flagged by U.S. banks concerning Biden family business transactions, causing the committee's chairman to threaten a subpoena. U.S. banks have flagged over 150 suspicious financial transactions from Hunter and James Biden, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), House Oversight Committee chair, told Breitbart News. The wire transfers included "large" amounts of money tripped for further review by American banks.

Here's How Cotton Plans to See Seized Classified Docs. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said he and other Republicans will block presidential nominees until members of the Intelligence Committee are shown the classified material found at former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence as well as President Biden's home and office. The threat from Cotton, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, comes after lawmakers left a closed-door briefing Wednesday frustrated that the National Intelligence Director, Avril Haines, refused to show them copies of the documents or discuss the contents due to special counsel investigations by Jack Smith and Robert Hur. "Whether it's blocking nominees or withholding budgetary funds, Congress will impose pain on the administration until they provide these documents. And that is coming from both parties," Cotton told reporters.

Keywords: Slow walking, stonewalling, obstruction of Congress.
Biden Treasury Department Uses Comical Excuse to Block House Request for Hunter's Bank Records. Almost as bad as the Biden administration's manipulation of federal agencies to do the bidding of the Biden Family Business is the blatant way they do it. Comical? Yes, in a way. Unacceptable, for which there should be consequences? You betcha. Will it ever happen? I seriously doubt it. In Team Biden's latest example of a "conflict of interest," Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has "delayed" (blocked, at least temporarily) a House Republican request for information on Biden family financial transactions that may have been marked as suspicious, reports The Hill, saying it must first determine whether the disclosure of the records is consistent with "longstanding Executive Branch interests."

Lots of good things happen to China under the Biden administration. I wonder why.
Interior Department Blocks Minnesota Twin Metals Mining Project In Big Win For Beijing. The Biden administration blocked plans for a major nickel and cobalt mine in northern Minnesota Thursday while the U.S. remains reliant on overseas supply chains for its critical minerals. The "Twin Metals Project" would have tapped the Duluth Complex within the Superior National Forest, where 95 percent of the nation's nickel reserves and 88 percent of American cobalt reserves remain underground. Now, pending litigation over leases, the Department of the Interior has blocked the nearly $3 billion mine over concerns about the safety of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness inside the national forest.

Treasury Department Slaps Down GOP Request For Hunter Biden Records. The Treasury Department will not yet comply with congressional requests for Hunter Biden's banking records, the agency said Wednesday. House Oversight and Accountability Committee chairman James Comer of Kentucky requested Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) detailing Hunter Biden's financial transactions in a Jan. 11 letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. The reports are taken by banks in accordance with federal law when deposits or withdrawals exceed $10,000 or may indicate criminal activity. Comer previously said he believes banks have taken out more than 150 reports on Hunter Biden and "other Biden family members." Assistant Treasury Secretary for Legislative Affairs Jonathan Davidson told Comer on Wednesday that he failed to identify a purpose for the request.

Reported pick as next White House chief of staff met with Hunter Biden repeatedly. Jeff Zients largely dodged public scrutiny as the Biden White House's COVID-19 response coordinator as COVID adviser Anthony Fauci and the president himself drew attention for false and misleading statements, declaring COVID's natural origin settled and vaccines foolproof against the virus, respectively. With his expected return to the highest echelon of the White House as chief of staff, Zients is now taking fire from all ideological directions for his meetings with Hunter Biden, scapegoating of people who resist COVID vaccination and history with healthcare companies accused of billing fraud. "Quite possible this is the day Ron DeSantis became president," tweeted Revolving Door Project Executive Director Jeff Hauser, whose organization wrote a blistering profile of Zients after his hasty exit as COVID czar last year for The American Prospect.

Team Biden [is] stonewalling Senate Committee on seeing secret docs Biden purloined, and even Dems [are] outraged. Let's cut to the chase: Did Joe Biden remove classified documents from the National Archives that would incriminate him in the influence peddling racket he and his family were running? That's the most important question about them, and that's probably why the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) is being stonewalled in their demand to see them. All members of the SSCI have high level security clearances and are considered able to see them.

The Real Differences Between the Biden and Trump Document Trove. Former President Donald Trump for now certainly seems to have had more documents labeled "classified" at Mar-a-Lago in Florida than did President Joe Biden at his various homes in Delaware. Yet otherwise, the comparisons between the two cases, contrary to popular punditry, hardly favor Biden. First, a stranger would face a far greater challenge entering a post-presidential Mar-a-Lago than a pre-presidential Biden home, office, or garage — or who knows where? Secret service agents and private security were stationed at Mar-a-Lago. Prior to the 2020 presidential election they were not at citizen Biden's various troves for most of 2017-2020, much less prior to 2009.

NY Post's Devine joins Tucker to discuss [bad] Hunter Biden email: 'Reads like a classified document'. The New York Post's Miranda Devine has uncovered a new 2014 email from Hunter Biden's laptop whose contents suggest he was given or simply had access to classified documents during his father's tenure as vice president. [Video clip] [...] "On April 13, 2014, Hunter Biden sent an email to his business partner in Burisma, Devon Archer. Now, he sent this a week before his father, the vice president, flew to Ukraine to meet with Ukraine's prime minister. In the email, Hunter Biden composed a detailed memo with nearly two dozen data points about the political and strategic situation on the ground in Ukraine," Carlson reported. "What's so immediately striking and Miranda Devine pointed this out, having read the entire laptop, is that this email bears no resemblance to anything else we have that Hunter Biden has ever written. In fact, it sounded like something produced by the State Department," he added. Indeed, it appeared to contain points and observations that only someone with access to classified intelligence would have known.

'Incredibly suspicious' Hunter Biden email may be based on classified info: GOP senator. A Hunter Biden email about Ukraine from 2014 looks 'suspiciously' like it could have come from classified information, a leading GOP senator has claimed. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said the April 12, 2014 message to one of the first son's business partners resembles documents that the State Department gives members of the Senate when they travel overseas. "It reads like one of those scene-setters — highly detailed information in terms of Ukraine," Johnson told Fox News Tuesday. The email from Hunter to Devon Archer includes a granular 22-point memo the Biden scion described as "thoughts after doing some research."

Multiple Ukraine Officials Removed or Resigned as Widespread Corruption and Embarrassing Financial Graft Discovered. While Volodymyr Zelenskyy was on tour banging his tin cup for NATO donations, apparently his top government officials were skimming the books and building an extravagant life on the backs of the U.S. taxpayers. Slava Ukraini! However, on a brutally obvious note, I mean the wife of Zelenskyy went Christmas shopping in Paris and spent over €40,000 in a few hours on ritzy Avenue Montaigne. Where did people think she got that money? In an effort to stop the embarrassing revelations of internal corruption from weakening support for the inbound flows of cash from corrupt U.S. officials, the government of Zelenskyy has begun getting rid of the officials who were stealing the war money. But hey, don't worry, remember, President Zelenskyy decreed rules making it illegal for any political opposition to exist; so, there's nothing to worry about — just a seating rotation of the same corrupt group.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer Launches Investigation Into Hunter Biden's Art-Selling Scheme. House Oversight Chairman James Comer on Wednesday announced an investigation into Hunter Biden's art-selling scheme. Rep. Comer sent a letter to Hunter Biden's art dealer, Georges Berges, seeking information on anonymous purchasers of Hunter Biden's garbage artwork. "The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating President Joe Biden and his family's foreign and domestic influence peddling schemes," wrote Chairman Comer. "For over a decade, the Biden family has profited from Joe Biden's positions as a public official. Your arrangement with Hunter Biden raises serious ethics concerns and calls into question whether the Biden family is again selling access and influence. Despite being a novice artist, Hunter Biden received exorbitant amounts of money selling his artwork, the buyers' identities remain unknown, and you appear to be the sole record keeper of these lucrative transactions."

National Archives Skips Deadline to Disclose Biden Classified Scandal Docs. The National Archives has missed the House Oversight Committee's deadline to comply with requested documents related to President Joe Biden's classified document scandal, according to the committee's spokesperson. On January 10, the committee demanded the National Archives hand over records detailing the interactions between Biden's attorneys and the Justice Department on or before January 24. "The National Archives has not produced the requested documents to the Committee at this time," the committee spokesperson told reporters Tuesday. "Chairman Comer's request still stands and anticipates moving forward with a transcribed interview with NARA's general counsel soon."

Why Hunter Biden Lied About Paying $50k Monthly Rent. Amid the brouhaha over President Joe Biden's improper retention of classified documents and concerns that his son, Hunter Biden, had access to them, a 2018 form on which Hunter Biden claims to have spent nearly $50,000 a month on rent surfaced from the presidential son's abandoned laptop. On it, Hunter Biden lists his father's Wilmington house as his address, raising questions about whether he was using rent payments to pass money to his father. The money, $49,910, was actually a reference to rental payment for a Washington, D.C., office space used by Hunter Biden. But the story of the document is more absurd, involving Biden family favor trading, scorned relatives, and an ultimately failed effort to get Hunter Biden's troubled cousin a new probation officer.

How Joe Biden went from 'one of the poorest' in Congress to a millionaire. When Joe Biden was a US senator, he referred to himself as "one of the poorest members" of Congress. But his fortunes rose precipitously following his years as vice president, thanks to a flurry of cash from book deals and speeches — as well as regular kickbacks from his brother and younger son, according to text messages from Hunter Biden's laptop and a congressional probe. In 2016, his last year as vice president, "middle-class Joe" reported between $291,000 and about $1 million in assets and income outside his vice presidential salary of $230,700. He also claimed between $780,000 and about $1.6 million in liabilities, according to his 2016 personal financial disclosure form. But Biden's fortunes rapidly changed between 2017 and 2020, with help from both his son Hunter and his brother James, according to a congressional report.

Tucker Carlson Reveals Email that Raises Questions About Hunter Biden's Access to Classified Docs. Tucker Carlson and New York Post columnist Miranda Devine are raising new questions in the wake of now five different tranches of classified documents being found in Joe Biden's home and at the Penn-Biden Center. [...] As Tucker noted, the government has had this email for years, but what have they done about it? Nothing that we can see. Carlson said they contacted the White House and asked if Hunter Biden had ever received classified information or a classified briefing. They did not respond to him. Devine also noted something else that hasn't been getting the notice that it deserves — the fact that DOJ not only retrieved the classified documents, but they also took for "further review" personally handwritten notes from the vice presidential years. Why would they take away notes? Well, there's one big glaring reason — it would show that Joe Biden was commenting on the classified documents he took away and what he said about them — a further indication that this wasn't a "surprise" that he had them and it might also reveal why he took them, as well as if the reason went beyond mere negligence into the cover-up realm.

Penn Biden Center Held Event Encouraging Closer U.S.-China Ties. The Penn Biden Center, a Washington think tank where classified documents were found in November, hosted an event encouraging deeper U.S.-China ties. The event took place as the University of Pennsylvania received tens of millions of dollars from Chinese entities, much of which was donated anonymously. The Penn Biden Center was the repository of a stash of classified U.S. documents until President Joe Biden's personal attorneys found the papers in the president's office on November 2. In June, the center hosted a two-day event for Congressional staffers that encouraged closer cooperation with China on issues such as clean energy and academia, a source familiar with the event told The Washington Free Beacon. The event had no security posted, only staff to help attendees with information about the event. The event was run by the Center for the Study of Contemporary China, the Penn Project on the Future of U.S.-China Relations, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies[.]

Biden Document Discovery Doesn't Add Up. The question hanging in the air, however, relates to the discovery that started this whole process: Why would lawyers be "packing up" Biden's office in the Penn Biden Center in the first place? Not unlike other politicians, Joe Biden has done a terrific job of turning political success into a financial windfall. But someone who considered himself "middle-class Joe" for decades should realize the wastefulness of having lawyers perform a task that a trusted intern or aid could perform. As many big-time East Coast lawyers now routinely charge $1,000 an hour, it's an awfully expensive packing crew — unless the intent wasn't truly to "pack" but rather to purge. The timing here is suspicious as well. Apparently, this moving crew was at Biden's University of Pennsylvania office a week before midterm elections that were widely anticipated to turn control of the House over to the Republicans.

The Immaculate Possession: Biden Defense is Fast Becoming Unsustainable. President Biden seems to attract classified documents the way some people think motor homes attract tornadoes. They just inexplicably happen. After Biden publicly declared that he has "no regrets" in the discovery of unlawfully stored classified material in various locations, he assured citizens that the special counsel investigation would soon peter out when they find that "there is no there there." Well, there turns out to be more there and the "there" is yet another find in a private residence of Joe Biden. A search of Biden's home in Wilmington on Friday found six new clearly marked classified documents, bringing the total to roughly 30 classified documents. The latest search came almost three months after the first discovery in a closet in a D.C. office. Yet, the president and White House still maintain that all of these documents are merely the result of "inadvertent mishandling" and that Biden has no knowledge of their storage over the prior roughly six years. There is a point when "inadvertence" becomes so incredible as to be miraculous.

Joe Biden sure does a lot of favors for China. I wonder why.
Report: Biden Would Veto GOP Bill to Ban Sale of Oil to China From U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Joe Biden's near hatred — although we can probably safely delete "near" — of fossil fuels has been an albatross around the necks of the American people since Day One of the intentionally worst presidency in the history of the United States. No joke, Jack — and Biden's war on (U.S.) oil continues. Now, according to ever-smug Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Biden will veto a House bill to ban the sale of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China if the measure passes the Democrat-controlled Senate, as reported by Just the News.

None Of Biden's Excuses For Having Classified Documents Make Any Sense. With every new cache of classified documents discovered in Joe Biden's possession, the president's excuses become more farfetched. Biden's defenders like to stress that the president has "cooperated" with investigators. No harm, no foul. Ana Navarro of "The View" argues "it's very important to understand the difference between cooperation and obstruction." Neal Katyal snarks that it's "amazing how you don't need a search warrant when a President is actually willing to invite investigators inside." Not really. Biden's lawyers almost surely asked for an FBI search of the president's property after they knew special counsel Robert Hur would be compelled to obtain a warrant and conduct a search. Don't take my word for it. Buried in today's New York Times piece on the matter, we learn that, "[e]veryone involved understood and agreed that the discovery of those six pages meant that the government would have to conduct its own search of the work and storage areas in the house..." There was no political or legal upside in resisting the inevitable. Which brings us to another pervasive defense of the president, which asserts that Biden had "immediately" handed over documents found in his "think tank," just as protocol dictates. No harm, no foul. This claim is also preposterous.

As Biden's Blank Checks to Ukraine Continue, How Long Will It Take the U.S. to Replenish the Munitions We've Given Away? In total, the United States has committed more than $24.9 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden Administration, according to the Defense Department on January 6. And with no end in sight and U.S. military stockpiles running dangerously low, the question is: How long it will take to replenish those stockpiles? As Daily Caller reported on Sunday, even at emergency production rates, it will take years before the U.S. is able to restock supplies of critical munitions sent to Ukraine, according to a recent analysis conducted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a Washington, D.C. based think tank.

Empty Bins in a Wartime Environment: The Challenge to the U.S. Defense Industrial Base. The U.S. defense industrial base is not adequately prepared for the international security environment that now exists. In a major regional conflict — such as a war with China in the Taiwan Strait — the U.S. use of munitions would likely exceed the current stockpiles of the U.S. Department of Defense. According to the results of a series of CSIS war games, the United States would likely run out of some munitions — such as long-range, precision-guided munitions — in less than one week in a Taiwan Strait conflict. The war in Ukraine has also exposed serious deficiencies in the U.S. defense industrial base and serves as a stark reminder that a protracted conflict is likely to be an industrial war that requires a defense industry able to manufacture enough munitions, weapons systems, and matériel to replace depleted stockpiles.

Report: Joe Biden's Attorneys Misled DOJ About Classified Docs Stored at Residence. President Joe Biden's personal attorneys reportedly misled the Department of Justice (DOJ) in November about classified documents being stored at his Wilmington residence. Shortly after documents at the Penn Biden Center were unearthed on November 2, the White House and DOJ reportedly agreed to hide the scandal from the American people. It's unclear why Biden's personal attorneys were initially searching for his illegally stashed documents. The White House has failed to provide the initial reason or cause for the search.

Joe Biden's 'Souvenirs'. So, is Biden a kleptomaniac (the American people deserve to know if their president is a crook)? Were the documents misplaced by careless staffers? If so, why didn't Biden choose more trustworthy aides, administration hands who knew which documents were hot and needed to be stored in a secure space? Or, is it possible that Biden been covering the tracks of his decades of corruption? It's clear that Biden and his "family business" are corrupt. No one thinks that there's been no influence-peddling in connection with son Hunter's financial arrangements with his foreign associates. The same with Biden's younger brother James. We know this because of the stone wall set up by federal authorities and the media. If there's nothing to hide, why has so much hiding been going on? We feel we're on solid ground to say that the "Big Guy" who was to get a cut from the feedbag filled by Hunter's multi-million-dollar global business deals is Joe Biden. Hunter's former business partner Tony Bobulinski says he is. Apparently another former business partner, James Gilliar, has said the same. If he's not, then let's have a probe that clears the air and identifies just who the Big Guy is.

President Deep State? Kennedy's assassination and Nixon's forced resignation occurred a half-century ago, and plenty of people have disputed the American government's official telling of those events since they first occurred. Only now, however, is one of the most popular hosts in the small world of news commentary dedicating his time (and reputation) to throwing down the gauntlet against America's Deep State. Why? Well, that relatively new and disparaging epithet — Deep State — tells a big part of the tale by reflecting an "awakening" American cynicism and a sizable collapse in Americans' trust in their own government. [...] If Americans increasingly doubt the legitimacy of the very institutions that claim to have increasingly absolute power over every detail of their lives, then Tucker Carlson is urging them to question just how long the federal government's criminal enterprise has been operating. It didn't just start with the suspicious election outcomes in '20 and '22, did it? [...] The government's illegitimate exercise of power goes to the heart of the question: who really runs America?

Is the Justice Department Pursuing Biden Just to Get Trump? If the Justice Department can pick and choose the president, then we don't really have a "democracy" at all but an oligarchy with a Praetorian guard. Of course, many suspect this has been the case for some time. We all saw how Trump was sandbagged with a bogus criminal probe into Russian "collusion," and the witch-hunt is ongoing. It's worth considering whether the Justice Department, by going after Biden, is creating a pretense of fairness to justify indicting Trump. This would be a truly egregious interference in the democratic process. Some factions of the Left and Right might be happy with an outcome where both Trump and Biden go down. But if anyone is going to get shafted, it's probably Trump.

Biden Family: The Delaware Sopranos. Watching HBO's "the Sopranos" can really help you understand the Biden family. Between Hunter Biden's laptop scandal, and the Bidens' various shady private-equity schemes with foreign fraudsters, it's not too hard to make the analogy. President Joe Biden is clearly the head of a family. He has repeatedly exploited his public offices to make money. His son, Hunter Biden, is like the ambitious-but-dull son who wants to inherit the family business but always screws up. Some of what the Bidens have done is clearly inappropriate. Even more of what they have done is an abuse of public office. Most of what they have done is simply secret. The best example of Bidens' manipulation of the system for profit surrounds the Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement at the University of Pennsylvania. The center has given the Bidens remarkable access to Chinese Communist Party money. According to reports in the New York Post, the university, "raked in a total of $54.6 million from 2014 through June 2019 in donations from China, including $23.1 million in anonymous gifts starting in 2016."

Discovery Of More Biden Docs Proves Mar-A-Lago Raid Was Just Another Russia-Collusion Hoax. The FBI recovered an additional cache of classified documents from President Joe Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, following a 12-hour search conducted by federal agents on Friday. While this development adds to the scandal surrounding the current president, it does much more: It highlights the ridiculous plot launched to destroy Donald Trump that culminated in the raid of his Mar-a-Lago home. "Six items" were recovered on Friday from Biden's Delaware home, which consisted of "documents with classification markings and surrounding materials," the president's lawyer said in a statement released after the search. While the "crafty legalese" deployed by the attorney left unclear how many classified documents were contained within the "six items" recovered, Biden's lawyer confirmed that the documents dated back to the Delaware Democrat's time as both vice president and senator, so spanning from 2017 to as far back as 1973.

There's no hiding Biden's fright over classified document scandal. Joe Biden is panicking. An astonishing fifth trove of classified documents was discovered in the president's Delaware mansion Friday, not by his own lawyers this time, but during a more thorough, 13-hour search by the Department of Justice while he holed up in his beach house in Rehoboth, which ought to be next on the DOJ search list. Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland has had the audacity to appoint a special counsel to investigate Biden. His long-term trusted factotum Ron Klain is bailing out. And someone at the White House is throwing his trusted longtime executive assistant Kathy Chung under the bus. The Washington Post quoted an anonymous insider last week saying that Chung "has confided to associates that she is distressed that she might have inadvertently been involved in moving or storing classified material at the center, planting the seeds of the current uproar."

Ya think?
Are Democrats Trying To Take Biden Out Before 2024? Joe Biden ran for president three times before he finally won the White House. And 2020 was simply the perfect time for him to give it another go. As he neared 80, Biden had slowed down considerably from his rambunctious days as a senator and vice president. But with the emergence of COVID, Biden barely hit the campaign trail, running his operation out of the basement of his Delaware mansion. And let's be frank: many Americans had tired of President Donald Trump's act. Many independents who decided to give the outsider a shot in 2016 broke hard for Biden in 2020. But Biden's usefulness may have expired. While the president has declared he plans to run again in 2024, at least one lawmaker thinks Democrats are planning to jettison him for a better candidate.

The Corleone family had olive oil as a front business, the Bidens have politics. The fictional Corleone family of The Godfather books and movies had a front business, Genco Olive Oil. The Biden family has politics as its legitimate front, specifically Joe Biden's career in Washington as a senator, vice president, and now president. Hunter Biden, notoriously served on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy firm, even though the president's troubled son had no experience in energy. Hunter doesn't speak Ukranian. But as vice president, Joe was President Obama's point man for Ukraine. China is America's chief geopolitical foe, but Hunter had extensive business dealings with Chinese firms, and that means also the Chinese government, as the ChiComms have their fingers in every large business there. And in one proposed Chinese deal discovered on the Hunter Biden laptop, there would be "10 held by H for the big guy." According to Tony Bobulinski, a former Hunter business associate, "the big guy" is "Middle Class Joe," the 46th president — Joe would collect 10 percent. In that same deal another 10 percent would go to Jim Biden, one of the president's brothers.

The Bidens are known for influence peddling. Jonathan Turley: ["]Of course he's worried about it, the laptop that they found from Hunter is basically a step-by-step description of one of the biggest influence-peddling schemes in history. I mean, the fact is that influence-peddling has been a Biden family business for a long time. They have been rather notorious and open about it. I mean, the Fords are known for cars and the Coors are known for beer, and the Bidens are known for influence-peddling, and it's an entire family affair. And what's interesting about this is how raw and open it is.["]

Biden, top aides covered up secret document discoveries from public: report. President Biden and at least four of his top lawyers and advisers tried to keep their fellow Americans from learning of the mishandling of classified documents from Biden's time as vice president, according to a bombshell report Friday. The New York Times reported that initial discussions on the Nov. 2 discovery — six days before the midterm elections — of sensitive papers in Biden's former office closet at the Penn Biden Center in Washington were limited to Biden himself, as well as Bob Bauer, the president's top personal lawyer; Anita Dunn, Biden's senior adviser and Bauer's wife; Stuart Delery, the White House counsel; and Richard Sauber, the White House special counsel hired to oversee Biden's response to House Republican investigations into a range of controversies. According to the outlet, rather than coming clean at once — an idea the report says "does not seem to have been seriously considered" — the group opted to quietly notify the National Archives, responsible for keeping presidential and vice presidential records.

Why was Biden allowed to visit the crime scene before the search for evidence was complete in the classified documents scandal? Make no mistake: mishandling classified documents is a crime, even when unintentional under the standard of "gross negligence." That makes Biden's lakeside Wilmington, DE mansion (that once belonged to a DuPont family branch) a crime scene. And the latest news that an unspecified number of classified documents (not necessarily only 6 despite widespread reports) were discovered Friday means that it was an active crime scene last weekend when Joe and "Dr. Jill" were allowed unsupervised access to their home there. I am not a law enforcement expert, but elementary logic suggests that allowing a potential suspect access to a crime scene before an investigation is complete risks all kind of mischief, including destruction of evidence. At best, this constitutes gross negligence on the part of the Department of Justice investigators.

It hasn't already?
It Looks Like Biden's Classified Documents Scandal Is About To Explode. Joe Biden takes classified documents very seriously, so he says, but even after the search for classified documents has allegedly ended a couple of times now, it's not yet over. In the wake of more documents being discovered at Biden's home in Wilmington, Del., the Department of Justice is now considering expanding its search for classified documents Biden may have absconded with, according to a report from CBS News. "Justice Department officials are also considering the possibility of conducting other consensual searches at locations linked to Mr. Biden, said the source familiar with the investigation," the report says.

Questions Abound After It's Revealed Biden Special Counsel Hasn't Even Started Yet. As RedState reported, Joe Biden's latest scandal took another major turn on Saturday [1/21/2023] after a DOJ-led search of his Delaware home revealed even more illegally possessed classified documents. But while things have undoubtedly escalated, it's now being reported that Robert Hur, the special counsel appointed to investigate the president, hasn't even taken over the investigation yet. Instead, the search was overseen by U.S. Attorney John Lausch. I'm honestly at a loss as to how this could be. [Tweet] According to Merrick Garland, the decision to appoint Hur was not made rashly, and the plan was already in motion by the time the official announcement was made on January 12th, 2023. Yet, here we are, with more documents being found, including some from Biden's time in the US Senate, and the special counsel is completely missing in action. How much sense does that make? What was the point of bringing Hur on board if he wasn't ready to take charge of what was obviously a very fluid, ongoing situation?

The NYT Reveals How the WH Thought They Could Cover Up Biden Docs Debacle. President Joe Biden and top White House officials tried to keep the U.S. from learning about Biden's mishandling of classified documents, thinking they could get away with it. According to a report from the New York Times, Biden's lawyers found the first batch of documents on November 2 at the Penn Biden Center, Biden's Washington, D.C., think tank. The NYT said that rather than coming clean, an idea that did "not seem to have been seriously considered," the group quietly contacted the National Archives, which is responsible for keeping presidential and vice presidential records. The NARA then referred it to the Department of Justice two days later. "The decision ... to keep the discovery of classified documents secret from the public and even most of the White House staff for 68 days was driven by what turned out to be a futile hope that the incident could be quietly disposed of without broader implications for Mr. Biden or his presidency," the NYT reported.

Huh. So Ron Klain is on the way out. Why now? There hasn't been any formal announcement of this news yet and we may not see one until after the State of the Union address. But enough sources are reporting that Ron Klain, Joe Biden's Chief of Staff will be leaving his position in a matter of weeks. In a more "normal" administration this might not be a terribly significant development. Jobs at the White House can involve very long days without a break and can be quite stressful. People regularly resign from such positions to make room for up-and-coming prospects. And presidential chiefs-of-staff often depart before the two-year mark. But this isn't just "any normal administration." It's long been suspected by many of us that Ron Klain has actually been the person running the country for the most part while attempting to mask the President's obvious cognitive decline. Klain signs off on every speech that Biden gives and is believed to have the last say in terms of what makes it into Joe's teleprompter.

FBI "discovers" even more classified docs at Biden home. Before we get to the obvious conspiracy theory material, let's get past the basics of the story. While this is starting to sound like a broken record, six more classified documents were reportedly discovered at Joe Biden's mansion in Wilmington, Delaware on Friday. The latest episode of this soap opera includes a couple of twists, however. The FBI conducted the search, rather than Biden's own lawyers and other flunkies. The search of the residence took 13 hours. The other twist involves the dates on the documents. Some of them were once again from Biden's time as Vice President, but some of them were from his time in the Senate. That means that Biden had been illegally hanging on to the papers since at least 2009 if not before. So he's been keeping them in an unsecured location for at least a dozen years.

Justice Department conducts search of Biden's Wilmington home and finds more classified materials. FBI investigators on Friday found additional classified material while conducting a search of President Joe Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home. Bob Bauer, the president's personal attorney, said in a statement that during the search, which took place over nearly 13 hours Friday, "DOJ took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the President's service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as Vice President. DOJ also took for further review personally handwritten notes from the vice-presidential years." Those six items are in addition to materials previously found at Biden's Wilmington residence and in his private office.

The 'six documents' hoax in latest discovery of classified docs destroys the narrative of 'transparency' and 'good faith'. Many media outlets — and even the GOP House Judiciary Committee — are reporting that "6 documents" were found Friday in the latest search of Joe Biden's Wilmington, DE mansion. [Tweet] But a careful reading of the statement of Biden's personal attorney Bob Bauer, on which this conclusion is based, reveals it to be at best a misunderstanding and at worst a hoax. [...] "Six items consisting of documents with classification markings" is deceptively vague, and I would argue misleading language. What exactly are the "items"? Are they Bankers Boxes full of hundreds of documents? They could be. We don't know, and so far, the DOJ has said nothing to the public to enlighten us. This is the opposite of the "transparency" upon which the kid glove treatment afforded to Biden, compared to the dawn FBI raid imposed upon Trump with his attorneys kept away from the searchers, is based.

Hypocrisy 101: Joe Biden scuppered Jimmy Carter's CIA nominee over mishandling of classified documents. Joe Biden assured us that he takes the handling of U.S. secrets "very seriously,' and sure enough another trove of illegally stored classified documents rolled out from one of the Biden residences. That's flamin' hot hypocrisy in itself, but it gets worse when we learn of Joe's pious history around such documents. Fox News discovered that Biden during his senator days, was quick to scupper Jimmy Carter's 1977 nomination of Ted Sorenson as director of the CIA, on the grounds that Sorenson mishandled classified documents he had access to for the purpose of writing a biography of his former mentor, President John F. Kennedy. Biden, of course, didn't really care about the classified documents, even then.

More classified material found in Biden's Delaware home from his tenure as vice president and senator. A few hours ago, NBC News reported that six additional items, including documents with classified markings, were discovered at Joe Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, on Friday, January 20. The White House had previously claimed on January 14 that the search for all classified documents was complete. For a change, it wasn't Biden's lawyers but the Department of Justice conducting the search. [Tweet] NBC News used 'sources' to claim that the White House, not the Justice Department, initiated the search. This is how Democrat mouthpieces operate; when they want to peddle blatant falsehoods, they merely use anonymous sources as a crutch.

Hunter Biden's daughter urged by prof to cash in on family name in China. A professor at the University of Pennsylvania once pointedly urged Hunter Biden's daughter to attend a lavish all-expenses paid conference in China, advising that her family name would open doors for her in the country, according to messages found on Hunter's abandoned laptop. The university is under scrutiny after classified documents were discovered at the school's Penn Biden Center in Washington D.C. shortly before the midterm elections. The discovery was concealed by the Biden White House for months afterwards. Some of the documents related to countries Hunter Biden did business in — like Ukraine. Frank Plantan Jr., a "lecturer emeritus" at the university, assured Naomi Biden that China's Boao Forum — which he described as an "Asian Davos" — would be easy.

Report: Thousands of Classified Docs May Have Been Discovered During 13 Hour Search. On Friday, more classified documents were found at President Joe Biden's home in Delaware after a 13 hour search. Initially, news outlets widely reported that only six classified documents were found in the home. "Six more Classified Documents were discovered at Joe Biden's Wilmington home during a search conducted by The Department of Justice," tweeted Alx on Twitter.

FBI May Search More Locations 'Tied to Biden' for Classified Docs. The Federal Bureau of Investigation may look at other locations tied to President Joe Biden for classified documents, CBS News is reporting. This comes after the Department of Justice located six documents with classified markings at Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, on Friday.

Classified docs scandal is unboxing the Biden family business. Don't expect boasts of "We're No. 1" from the White House or Wilmington, but that doesn't diminish the singular, ah, achievement. Both Bidens have earned their brushes with infamy. Courtesy of Fox News, here's a headline for the ages: "Biden, Hunter make presidential history as first father-son duo under separate investigations." The president paid his dues with his serially reckless handling of classified information, with the added bonus that the gentle probe of him inadvertently draws a comparison to how roughly Donald Trump is being treated by the same Department of Justice. When it came to the supposedly secret documents Biden had scattered around like so much birdseed, the feds couldn't even be bothered to search for more, leaving the job to his lawyers for over a month.

Big Rat Jumps Ship — Chief of Staff Ron Klain Leaving White House. When George Bush won the White House, Karl Rove received the attention of the media for his historic victory. Karl Rove became a household name, wrote books and went on tour. When Barack Obama won the White House, David Plouffe and David Axelrod received the attention of the media for their historic victory. Plouffe and Axelrod wrote books and went on tour talking about the campaign strategy. When Donald Trump won the White House, Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway received the attention of the media for the historic victory; both went on tour etc. When Joe Biden won the White House with the largest vote total in the history of all previous U.S. elections, who was credited? Who was praised and who was identified as the human strategist capable of such a victory? Amid the fraud what was the 2020 election, well, it's the absence of any victorious attribution that becomes another 'big tell'.

DOJ Finding Senate Docs in Search of Biden's Home Blows the Scandal Wide Open. As RedState reported, the slow news cycle was blown up on Saturday after it was announced that a DOJ search of Joe Biden's home had found six more classified documents. That comes after the White House had asserted that the search had been completed[.] Biden's lawyers immediately tried to get out in front of the revelation, releasing a statement claiming cooperation with the DOJ. But while the administration continues to talk about transparency, one bombshell detail from the search has left the president's lies fully exposed. Namely, the fact that documents were found that were taken during Biden's years in the Senate. [Tweet] To say that's a massive development is an understatement. From the beginning of this entire scandal, Biden and his surrogates, including a very combative Karine Jean-Pierre, have continually asserted that this was all one big accident. As they tell it, some classified briefings and such simply got swept into boxes while Biden's vice presidential office was being packed up. Those documents were then somehow unknowingly split up and transported to multiple locations, being moved multiple times in the process.

House Republican Whip Open to Impeaching Biden Under One Condition. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) says he is open to the possibility of impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, as millions of illegal aliens cross the border. During a Breitbart interview, Emmer pointed out that there has been an absence of oversight of the current government. Further, there is a "double standard" when it comes to holding Biden and former President Donald Trump accountable for "breaches of public trust, and maybe more." Biden and Mayorkas "haven't taken steps to secure" the southern border. "It shouldn't have been lost on anybody that Joe Biden doesn't make one visit to the southern border until a new Republican majority is literally taking over in the House in Washington, D.C. Then, he mysteriously suddenly finds religion and goes down to the border," he said.

New York Times Throws Joe Biden Under the Bus. The New York Times has long ago abandoned any pretense of being an actual news source and has settled into its role as the foremost propaganda arm of the hard Left, capitalizing upon the fact that there is still a considerable number of people in the U.S. and around the world who still think that the Times can be trusted to report events impartially and accurately. In reality, the only thing the Times is good for is revealing what the political and media elites are thinking, and a Friday opinion piece dropped a bombshell, in the Times' muted, bloodless Voice-of-the-Ages manner: the Leftist establishment is through with Old Joe Biden. Watch for him to be replaced as the Democratic presidential nominee in 2024, and he could be gone even sooner.

The Manic Methods of Mad Democrats. Joe Biden, his lawyers, and the Justice Department likely knew that Biden had violated national security laws surrounding classified documents. Yet they suppressed that information until the 2022 midterms were over. The same is true of the pre-midterm news blackout of the massive fraud of mega-Democratic donor Sam Bankman-Fried. In close Senate races, where Democrats often referenced the Mar-a-Lago, it might well have mattered if they were confronted with Biden's Garage-gate scandal, and the Madoff-like albatross of the obnoxious Bankman-Fried and his enabling family. The list of 2022 pre-election gambits is endless. Biden offered amnesties for both student-loan debt payments and federal marijuana convictions. But perhaps the most flagrant Biden pre-midterm contortion was his sudden interest in flooding markets with oil and gas, hitherto reduced in supply within the United States due to his own green handlers.

Gaetz suggests Biden's documents scandal is an inside job. There already had been comments made that the scandal over Joe Biden's decision to keep classified government documents from years ago, during his time as vice president, in unsecured storage areas at a vacant office and at his Delaware home was an inside job. That would be scheming on the part of Democrats to create an obvious reason for him to end his career with this term, to not seek another four years in the White House. Now a report from Trending Politics explains that Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., has openly suggested that is the case. "There's an element to this that feels like the Democrats are taking out Joe Biden," he explained this week. "I don't know that that's the case, but I don't know that it's not."

Anita Dunn was behind the decision to keep the classified documents story from the press. So Joe Biden is finally, officially in trouble for something. While many in the media are eager to point out that Biden's classified document scandal isn't as bad in some ways as Trump's classified document scandal, some realists have admitted that they're similar enough that there's probably not a lot to be gained here. And one reason that's true is that while Biden's people did quickly call the National Archives to, in effect, turn themselves in once the documents were found, they sat on the findings as far as the public was concerned. If you've watched any of the White House press briefings this week then you already know this has been something the White House press corps has repeatedly brought up. Why did you wait to inform the public until after the election? Why wasn't the White House as forthcoming with Americans as it was with the bureaucrats?

Chinese Business Deal Email from Louisiana Lawyer: 'I Have Requested Him to be Available for a Call with Joe Biden and Hunter'. President Joe Biden in 2017 was named in a family business deal email to broker a $25 million Chinese investment into the American energy sector, the Daily Mail revealed Friday [1/20/2023]. As Breitbart News reported in 2021, the Biden family was attempting to benefit from a deal that sold American natural gas assets to Chinese energy company CEFC, which was arranged by Hunter and James Biden. CEFC is the same Chinese energy company with which Joe Biden also stood to gain ten percent "held by H for the big guy." In an email dated October 27, 2017, Louisiana-based lawyer Robert Fenet emailed the Biden family to set up a meeting with Cherniere, a Texas energy company that had a prior relationship with Joe Biden.

Biden classified files were sent to another D.C. location before they were stored at think tank. The long and winding document trail that leads classified documents from Joe Biden's vice presidential office to the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C. and now back into the hands of the government, includes yet another stopover: a temporary facility in the nation's capital, a source tells DailyMail.com. The documents were moved in the summer of 2017 after spending about six months at a government transition office near the White House once Biden left the vice presidency. The space, in DC's Chinatown neighborhood, was overseen by the Penn Biden Center while its prized location near the Capitol was being readied. The office had its formal opening, attended by Biden, in 2018.

Biden heads for Rehoboth Beach for the weekend — not Wilmington home. President Biden is trying to distance himself from the scandal brewing over classified documents found at his Wilmington, Del. home — so he's going to his Rehoboth Beach house instead. The 80-year-old president will spend yet another weekend in his home state, but this time he's opting for the wealthy beach community located about 90 miles away from his main house in Delaware's largest city. Since taking office in January 2021, Biden has made 52 trips to Wilmington, spending all or part of 164 days at his residence there, according to a tally by The [New York] Post. By contrast, Biden has largely confined his Rehoboth Beach visits to the summer months — this weekend's trip will be his first since late October, and that visit was his first since late August.

DOJ Throws WH Under the Bus Over Their Refusal to Answer Questions on Classified Docs Scandal. It looks like the Justice Department might have just thrown Joe Biden and the White House under the bus big time. Fox's Harris Faulkner was speaking about the matter on the "Faulkner Focus" on Thursday. She ran video of an interview with former federal prosecutor Brett Tolman, who said a "crime had occurred" and there was no requirement that there be any "intent" to do anything bad with the documents. Faulkner noted that the White House has continued to dodge questions about the scandal.

Tucker Carlson details facts around his claim Deep State ousted Nixon for suggesting CIA killed Kennedy. Tucker Carlson has made a career out of shouting the quiet part out loud on television, but in 2023, it seems the controversial Fox News host has turned Truth up to eleven and resolved to report on-air what just a few years ago would have been considered journalistic suicide. [...] With Thursday's monologue, Carlson wasn't trying to set his career on fire on national television, he was showing that history is repeating and rhyming right before our very eyes with the convenient discovery of classified documents in Joe Biden's possession. The Deep State is done with Biden, Carlson believes and is orchestrating his removal from the White House. [...] "So, that's how things actually work in Washington," Carlson said. "Let's stop lying about it." And while there may be some "perverse justice" in watching the machine "shaft" Joe Biden, said Carlson, "the rest of us do deserve a better system, an actual democracy." "When people nobody voted for run everything," Carlson noted, "you are not living in a free country."

Frank Biden Peddled White House Influence During Joe Biden's Presidency. President Joe Biden's younger brother Frank Biden peddled White House influence during Joe Biden's presidency, according to a CNN report that indicates the Biden family business remains operational even since Joe Biden was elected. On at least two separate occasions, Frank Biden publicly cited Joe Biden as a means by which he has influence, despite holding no government position or relation to the White House other than by having the same last name as the president and being his sibling.

More revelations about Biden's mishandling of classified and top-secret documents. Biden's attorney Pat Moore discovered the classified material at Biden's think tank and notified the White House Counsel's Office, which in turn contacted the National Archives. By mid-November, a senior official at the DOJ's national security division wrote to Bob Bauer, Biden's personal attorney, requesting his cooperation with the DOJ's inquiry. The DOJ official requested that Biden's legal team secure the documents already recovered from Biden's think tank but refrain from further reviewing the documents or other classified documents discovered elsewhere. The DOJ official then requested that Bauer give the DOJ formal consent to review the materials discovered at Biden's think tank and that he provide a list of other locations where relevant materials might be stored. This is quite amazing. Despite the discovery of top secret documents which could lead to a national security threat, the DOJ displayed no urgency. They worked as subordinates to Biden's lawyers, meekly making requests and waiting for answers when it was their duty to take lead to immediately recover any other documents possibly left at other locations and review the material working closely with the National Archives.

The dog ate my classified documents. Cavalier treatment of 'secrets' of whatever kind is not something to be trifled with and that makes the recent discoveries of Biden's documents worthy of further investigation. Congress has an obligation to get to the bottom of it and not let the administration or the Democrats trivialize the infraction. There are no 'apples and oranges' when it comes to America's secrets. Both are the same 'fruit' from the same 'tree.'

What's Really Going On With The Phony Trump/Biden Document Scandal. Anyone remotely familiar with the current system knows it has grown from this important national interest into something wholly different. Way too much information is classified. This is important because classification runs directly contrary to another important government priority: transparency. The American people have a right to know how their government operates. Classification can be used to hide all sorts of information. At a time when the decline of trust in national institutions has plummeted to record lows, this is not a trivial matter. Transparency builds trust. [...] Given the endemic overclassification of documents, the president and vice president are drowning in classified materials. As the person in charge of papers for the vice president for four years, I have seen firsthand the sheer overwhelming volume at issue. Everything these days is classified. Most of it is boring and its release would not endanger anything.

Biden Admin. Reportedly Colluded With Department Of Justice In Attempt To Hide Document Scandal. The news cycle regarding the discovery of classified documents at the personal residences of Joe Biden continues to move at a breakneck pace. The administration has struggled to keep up with a flurry of requests and inquiries from the Department of Justice and the media. As Biden faces a Special Counsel investigation that will result in intensified scrutiny on his administration, a report released on Thursday indicates that the Biden administration attempted to collude with the Department of Justice to hide the scandal from the American public. The report, released by the Washington Post, says that the Biden administration and the Department of Justice believed that they had an "understanding" about keeping the matter quiet and out of the eyes of the American public.

Antony Blinken Says He Doesn't Know Why Government Records Were Taken to Penn Biden Center. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday he had no idea why government documents were taken to the Penn Biden Center, despite serving there as managing director for two years. At a press conference, Blinken was asked if he was "aware of any reason why classified documents would have been packed and brought there while you were there, and whether you would be available for an interview if the special counsel requests." Blinken responded, "The short answer is no."

When the time comes, I predict Joe Biden's lawyers will claim he's not competent to stand trial.
"I Have No Regrets" — Joe Biden on Hiding Stolen Classified Documents in His Garage. A defiant Joe Biden said he has "no regrets" when asked about the stolen classified documents found in his garage next to his Corvette. Biden was visibly irritated by the reporter because she was doing her job by asking questions about the classified documents stored in his garage. "What quite frankly bugs me is we have a serious problem here and the American people don't quite understand why you don't ask me questions about that," Biden said. "I have no regrets. I'm following what the lawyers have told me they want me to do. It's exactly what we're doing. There's no there, there," Biden said.

From student loans to masks, why does Biden want to keep us in a perpetual 'emergency'? We've made it to 2023, nearly three years since the pandemic hit the United States in full force. The virus is less deadly, we have effective vaccines and life is pretty much back to normal for most of us. If you're President Joe Biden, however, the COVID-19 "emergency" is still front and center. Don't get me wrong. I don't think Biden actually believes we are still in a state of emergency. He admitted as much in September when he declared the pandemic was "over." Yet the president and his administration have enjoyed the extra powers that have accompanied the national emergency declaration. And they are working hard to cling to this authority, which has granted the executive branch broader control over our lives.

Sen. Ted Cruz: Here's What DOJ Is Really Worried About in the Biden Classified-Documents Case. Revelations that Joe Biden kept classified documents in multiple locations probably won't be much of a problem for Biden, but it's a big problem for Biden's Department of Justice, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) argued on Wednesday. Cruz told Fox News's Sean Hannity the White House "is not really concerned" about Biden's legal exposure in possessing and mishandling classified material, given the fact that Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed as special counsel a man who is expected to go easy on Biden: [Video clip]

Biden classified document investigation: Secret Service ready to provide Delaware visitors, source says. The U.S. Secret Service is prepared to offer names of individuals who visited President Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home if requested by Congress, Fox News has learned. The White House continues to insist that there exists no formal visitor log for the personal residence where two troves of classified documents were found. While the White House has not kept a formal list, the Secret Service does collect information on guests with regular access to the home. Retention of the names of those vetted by the Secret Service depends on a variety of factors, including proximity to the president and the nature of the background check.

The Unclassified Docs Biden's Lawyers Were Searching May Be The Key To The Real Scandal. We previously posted about Jim Jordan's question, "What prompted them to look for Joe Biden's classified documents?" [...] Possible scenario: Maybe the classified documents are a distraction. Maybe the classified documents were not sought, but found inadvertently when looking for unclassified documents regarding Biden family foreign dealings and the funneling of foreign money to The Big Guy. With it clear that Republican-led House committees were going to be issuing subpoenas, Team Biden needed to make sure the Biden Center at U. Penn (in D.C.) was not in a position to produce those boxes in response to a subpoena. What better way to solve the problem than to move the boxes. But knowing there was potentially damaging documents in there, you needed lawyers with a duty of loyalty to their client (Joe) to do the work. They needed not only to move things, but to know what damaging material might already have been seen by others. Once the lawyers stumbled upon classified documents in those boxes, they knew they had a problem. So they contacted friendlies at the FBI/DOJ. They had to convince the friendlies that they were diligently searching, hence the search of the residence, where more classified docs were found. The classified documents may be the tail that's now wagging the unclassified Biden family corruption dog. Possible, but likely? Yes, unless there is some other reason lawyers were acting as movers.

Two Special Counsel Theories — One DoJ Conclusion. Attorney General Merrick Garland has now appointed two special counsels to investigate two presidents (one former, one current) for mishandling classified documents while out of office. Donald Trump is accused of keeping classified documents after leaving office. We now know that Joe Biden did keep classified documents after stepping down as Vice President — and before being inaugurated President. The pundit class is convinced that the appointments have nothing to do with justice or equal application of the law. We know the first appointment is to prosecute Donald Trump for something — anything. As for Joe Biden, there are two predominant theories for the second special counsel appointment — and frankly, both could be correct. I personally subscribe to theory 1. Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate Joe Biden's document indiscretion, as a means to obstruct the imminent congressional investigation. Any attempt by the Republican-led House to subpoena information, or interview Justice Department officials will be met with: "I cannot comment about an ongoing investigation." The Dems will claim that any attempt by the Republicans to investigate is jeopardizing the DoJ investigation. That will continue until around November 6, 2024 — or maybe until Maricopa gets its ballots counted sometime in December. It worked for the "Russian collusion" hoax. There's no reason to think it won't work again.

A classified document found in a garage is no accident, it is a crime. People are missing the point and the media are purposely distorting the facts about the discovery of classified documents in Joe Biden's possession. The unsecured classified documents found in Biden's garage is not only a crime scene, it is evidence of espionage. Every pundit on the television continually demonstrates having little clue about the law or even the name of the security program that governs the safeguarding of classified materials. They cannot and will not cite which law(s) was(were) broken when classified materials are discovered unsecured; irrespective of them being protected by a green Corvette or a garage door. [...] So, to be clear, what the media fail to report is that President Biden obviously violated paragraph (f) of the Espionage Act and Hunter Biden obviously violated paragraph (e) of the Espionage Act.

[The] White House changes [its] tune about Biden's Delaware residence in [a] head scratching flip. The White House has tweaked the narrative as the ongoing discovery of classified materials at President Joe Biden's Wilmington, Delaware home threatens to derail his agenda and dash his hopes for a second term. With the firestorm building to the point were even Democrats have been forced to speak out about the embarrassing fiasco, questions continue to be raised about why there are no visitor logs for the residence and now the regime has flip-flopped after previously saying that official business was conducted at the house. On Monday, the White House Counsel's Office explained that the reason why there are no visitor logs is that Biden's home was his personal residence. "Like every President across decades of modern history, his personal residence is personal," the office said in a statement. "But upon taking office, President Biden restored the norm and tradition of keeping White House visitors logs, including publishing them regularly, after the previous administration ended them." However, that completely contradicts previous statements from the White House including former spox Jen Psaki's remarks last year that Biden could work from anywhere.

DOJ boosts Biden — but tarnishes itself — by letting his own lawyers search for classified docs. Given the opportunity to search President Joe Biden's office and residences, the Department of Justice declined to do so, The Wall Street Journal reports. Instead, it allowed potentially uncleared and unnamed private counsel to search for classified material after the discovery of the highly classified documents in the Penn Biden Center office. It was a decision that could benefit Biden greatly, but at a considerable cost to the department itself. If true, the decision raises additional questions over the independence of top law enforcement personnel. This follows a litany of controversies involving both Donald Trump and Biden where the FBI and DOJ have been accused of political bias and unequal treatment. While the FBI recently denounced critics as "conspiracy theorists," the record of inexplicable decisions continues to grow by the day. There is no plausible reason why, given the chance, the Justice Department would not want to conduct a national security search itself.

Hunter Biden Lived in Wilmington House with Classified Documents While Bagging Millions Linked to the Highest Levels of Chinese Intelligence. While addicted to drugs, cavorting with prostitutes, and making deals with businessmen tied to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence, Hunter Biden lived in the house where Joe Biden stored classified documents. On a background-check application dated July 2018, Hunter Biden claimed that he paid $49,910 per month in rent and that his "current residence" at that time was 1209 Barley Mill Road in Wilmington, Delaware, according to a document found on Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop. Hunter also listed that Wilmington address as his primary residence on at least one form of identification (his Delaware driver's license) and used the same address as his billing address for both his personal credit card and Apple account in 2018 and 2019, a review of files from Hunter's abandoned laptop reveals.

Most of the media don't mind a president who rules like a dictator, so long as he is a leftist. In 2021, when Joe took office, Democrats had complete control of Congress, yet he decided on day one to act like a dictator anyway. We didn't see the media call him a dictator or talk about abuse of power, and separation of duties, so Joe got away with it. Biden decided unilaterally to ignore immigration laws and to stop enforcing the border. Literally millions of illegals streamed in. If the president didn't want immigration laws enforced, his politicized Justice Department was happy to comply. One of Biden's main goals was to destroy energy-producing companies, so he stopped a critical pipeline and put severe limits on drilling on public lands. Energy prices took off. Biden said that the Constitution prevented him from forgiving student loans but he is continuously trying to do that anyway. We hear few complaints from Democrats about abuse of power and separation of powers. It always helps a dictator if he has a deep state that serve as essentially campaign workers and a politicized Justice Department led by a person who will do what he is told. If the teacher's union wanted schools to be closed, Joe's CDC was at their beck and call, happily regurgitating their talking points.

Hunter Biden laptop-denier now admits emails are real. Don't let him get away with it. Douglas Wise, a former Defense Intelligence Agency deputy director and former senior CIA operations officer, is back in the news this week. In an interview with The Australian, Wise admits that he and others always knew that the emails on the Hunter Biden laptop were likely genuine. It was a remarkable admission from one of more than 50 former intelligence officials who signed a letter dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 presidential election as likely "Russian disinformation." Yet, Wise still maintains that, while true, he and the other officials were right to call it out as likely "disinformation." Arguing that something is true, but still constitutes disinformation sounds a lot like ... well ... disinformation.

CNN dumps on Biden influence peddling — do the Dems want Joe gone? Is there a Democrat civil war brewing over the presidency? One is tempted to think so, given how many damaging stories are suddenly showing up in the news just after it dropped that Joe Biden was preparing to announce his reelection bid. While the classified documents story is still heating up, CNN suddenly discovered that the Biden family is filled with corrupt influence peddlers. Who knew? There were no indications. Not a hint of anything like that. Joe gave us his "word as a Biden" that everything was on the up and up, and the media up until now scoffed at the idea that anything could be wrong.

They've already said it was complete, but that turned out to be untrue.
White House Won't Say If Search for More Biden Classified Documents Is Completed. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday refused to confirm her previous statement that the search for more classified documents tied to President Joe Biden has been completed. During a press briefing on the afternoon of Jan. 12, Jean-Pierre told reporters that the president's lawyers had looked through locations where additional documents could be stored and that the search was "completed." On Jan. 14, however, White House special counsel Richard Sauber said he went to Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, and found more classified material. "Last week [you said] that we all can assume, the American people could assume that the searches were completed and all the documents have been recovered," the Associated Press reporter Zeke Miller said during Tuesday's press briefing. "On Saturday, the White House Counsel's Office said that five additional classified documents had been found." "Is it safe to assume now that all the documents have been recovered, all the official records, all the classified documents are back in the custody of the National Archives?" Miller asked. "Or are more searches underway to find out if there's anything out there?" Jean-Pierre refused to answer the question, insisting that she will stay "prudent" by not commenting on the legal process that is now in the hands of the Justice Department.

Biden Wants To Stay in the Dark About Mishandled Docs. In the White House telling, President Biden knows little, which is exactly what his lawyers want. In Mexico City last week, when he first addressed the classified material that turned up in a personal office, Biden said he was "surprised" by the discovery, that he was "cooperating fully" with pertinent legal authorities, and that he doesn't "know what's in the documents." His lawyers, the president explained, had suggested he not inquire about their contents. He also doesn't know, and does not want to know, what was in the classified documents that were later recovered from his Delaware home — in the garage by his treasured Corvette, and in a "room adjacent" to the garage.

Joe Biden Reportedly Spent 163 Days in Wilmington Home Where Secret Service Claims No Visitor Logs Exist. President Joe Biden has reportedly spent 163 days of his presidency at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, where the Secret Service claimed Sunday no visitor logs exist. Critics have raised questions about who might have visited Biden's residence after his attorneys found classified documents stashed in the home's garage. In total, Biden has spent 163 days over the course of 49 trips to his Wilmington residence, according to the Republican National Committee's "Big Guy tracker." It is unknown how many days Biden spent at the home after leaving the White House in 2017 and before assuming the Oval Office in 2021.

Merrick Garland kept FBI out of Biden document search. Not because it happened. As I said yesterday, I think both the Trump and Biden classified document stories are nothingburgers. Maybe they shouldn't be, but if either man wanted to compromise national security, they could do it without the aid of stolen documents. Both are egotistical careless men who, due to their positions, can get away with stuff like this. So it goes. But the Biden documents story does huge political damage to the [frivolous] charges they were trying to get Trump on, and as such it is a huge embarrassment to Team Democrat. The hypocrisy is glaringly obvious and impossible to ignore, however much MSNBC and the Democrats want you to. And the hypocrisy gets worse by the minute.

FBI Let Biden's Attorneys Search His Home for Classified Docs Without Supervision. According to a bombshell new report, the Department of Justice (DOJ) opted out from sending FBI agents to President Joe Biden's Delaware home where classified documents were found. The DOJ decided to look the other way as Biden's personal attorneys searched the home for top secret documents. "The Justice Department considered having FBI agents monitor a search by President Biden's lawyers for classified documents at his homes but decided against it, both to avoid complicating later stages of the investigation and because Mr. Biden's attorneys had quickly turned over a first batch and were cooperating, according to people familiar with the matter," the Wall Street Journal reported.

Hunter Biden's $49,910 Rent Matches Rental Deposit at House of Sweden with CEFC China Energy. Hunter Biden's monthly rent of $49,910 matches a rental deposit at the House of Sweden related to the Biden family business venture with the infamous CEFC China Energy Co. Hunter's $49,910 deposit also matches the amount of money he logged on a 2018 background check document unearthed by the New York Post's Miranda Devine. In an email on October 13, 2017, Cecilia Browning, the general manager of House of Sweden, an office complex in Washington, DC, emailed Hunter about a lease that Hunter and his Chinese business partners were trying to terminate, according to emails unearthed from Hunter's "Laptop from Hell." Browning notes the amount of the deposit was $49,910 for the office space and that it would be returned to Hunter upon signing a lease termination document.

No Records Exist Of Visitors To Biden's Delaware Home Where Classified Docs Found, White House Says. Visitor logs for President Joe Biden's house in Wilmington, Delaware, since the start of his presidency do not exist, the White House said Monday [1/16/2023]. The announcement comes after an unspecified number of classified documents were recovered from Biden's personal home in recent weeks. Republicans have raised questions over who had access to the records while they were stored in Biden's garage and study. "Like every President in decades of modern history, his personal residence is personal," the White House Counsel's office told Fox News. "But upon taking office, President Biden restored the norm and tradition of keeping White House visitors logs, including publishing them regularly, after the previous administration ended them." The U.S. Secret Service said Sunday that it does not track visitors to Biden's personal residence, though agents do guard the home.

Biden's documents mess could be one of the biggest political scandals in American history. For years, we've witnessed the DOJ dragging its feet on the investigation of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. Allegations contained on the laptop, which appear to have been substantiated by both Hunter Biden in emails and text messages by whistleblower Tony Bobulinski reveal that members of the Biden family, including the "Big Guy", may have benefitted financially from their dealings with Ukraine and China. If any of these classified documents uncovered inside a closet at the Penn Biden think tank or in the "locked garage" next to Joe Biden's prized Corvette have anything to do with the Biden pay-to-play scandal, game over.

Why are Joe's lawyers doing the digging, not the FBI? This all stinks to high heaven. It must be nice to be Joe Biden. When the Justice Department lost patience with Donald Trump, who was storing classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, they launched an unprecedented Hollywood-style raid on the former president's home — complete with 30 federal agents and a comprehensive search of Melania's wardrobe. But when it turns out that Biden was keeping secret material in his personal office and Delaware garage alongside his prized Corvette — suddenly it's like Seinfeld's Uncle Leo stealing from the bookstore, 'I'm an old man!'

This is the first explanation of why the Biden classified documents story came out that makes sense to me. Yes indeed, I think the idea that the Democrats and the MSM were trying to get ahead of the story is the correct one. Note the timeline Levin presents: [Video clip] Now we have the news that Hunter paid Joe close to $50K per month to rent the house in Delaware — you know, the one with the Corvette in the garage. I guess access to classified documents is expensive these days: [...]

Joe Biden Just Torpedoed the Left's Entire Jan. 6 'Insurrection' Narrative. As Rick Moran noted on Tuesday, Old Joe Biden just boasted again about how powerless patriots are against his all-powerful and increasingly authoritarian federal behemoth. Biden practically thumped his chest as he declared: "I love my right-wing friends who talk about" — and here he mockingly imitated their dramatic tones — "'the tree of liberty is water of the blood of patriots.' If you need to work about taking on the federal government, you need some F-15s. You don't need an R- AR-15." Has any president in American history so delighted in taunting his citizens? And has anyone noticed how Biden, in a single mangled quip, just destroyed two years of the Left's painstaking work in constructing the Jan. 6 "insurrection" narrative? [Tweet with video clip] Biden's quote from his "right-wing friends," "the tree of liberty is water of the blood of patriots," was, as Rick noted, a garbled version of Thomas Jefferson's adage: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants." Biden was saying, of course, that in our age, such sacrifices were fruitless: the federal government is so powerful that it is unassailable, and so as its tyranny grows, unless patriots can somehow get hold of some fighter jets, they were out luck. All right, Joe. Point taken. But wait a minute here. [...]

WH Cracks Under More Grilling, Can't Keep Story Straight on Biden Classified docs. [Scroll down] The reporters were on fire and asked her perhaps one of the best questions of the day: "Why is it the matter of this White House Counsel to deal with documents from two administrations ago...? Why is this White House Counsel involved in this matter at all?" [Tweet with video clip] While she refused to answer it, the problem of course is that means Biden's team is injecting itself into the search, which means they're making themselves potential witnesses, they could also be viewed as injecting themselves into a potential crime scene, and that raises concerns if they could also be trying to clean things up. Plus, it also raises questions for any of his personal attorneys involved in the search that he involved them and exposed the classified documents that were found to them as well. The White House isn't supposed to be dictating the investigation, the DOJ is. Yet, it's the White House counsel and private Biden attorneys, unaccompanied by the FBI who were involved in this.

"It's a Clean Up Job... They Are Trying to Cover-Up Something Else" — Christina Bobb. Christina Bobb, Attorney for President Trump's 2024 Campaign, was on the War Room this morning to discuss Biden's classified document crimes and cover-up. Steve Bannon invited Christina Bobb on the War Room to discuss the Biden's classified document crimes. Bannon shared that Bobb is not simply a lawyer, but she is a Marine Corps Major. He also said he didn't want to take the bait between Trump and Biden's classified document cases because there's no comparison. Bannon went on to mention that Dana Remus, Biden's former White House Counsel, is not "doing storage movement".

Jonathan Turley: Biden's lawyers 'likely witnesses in a criminal investigation'. George Washington University (GWU) law professor Jonathan Turley says that President Joe Biden's lawyers are "likely witnesses in a criminal investigation" as the probe into Biden's handling of classified documents continues. Two stashes of classified documents from Biden's time as vice president were found in the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., as well as at the president's Wilmington, Delaware, house in the garage by his Corvette, spiraling the White House into an ongoing scandal after five more classified documents were discovered at his Wilmington home over the weekend. Turley told Fox News Digital that we "do not know what the evidence will show" and that the "most serious discovery would be evidence that Biden worked off their documents or removed them from their classification folders."

Joe Biden's Classified Docs Stash Confirms America's Worst Fears About the Hunter Biden Laptop. Hunter Biden is the walking national security threat that America's corporate media always claimed was Donald Trump. Biden's classified documents scandal — growing worse by the hour — is now directly tied to Hunter Biden and his infamous laptop. It's pivotal to note that millions of Americans would have changed their vote in the 2020 election if they had known about the Hunter Biden laptop story. It's now clear that Big Tech and the Corporate Media are not the only ones guilty of misleading the American people. The IC told the country a premeditated lie about the laptop being likely "Russian disinformation." In December 2019, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was already aware that Hunter Biden was missing a laptop that was an archive of his criminal exploits and sensitive political information. Hunter Biden had a total of three laptops that contained evidence of his illegal activities. In a video showing Hunter with a prostitute, he claimed Russians stole another one of his laptops for blackmail while he was close to overdosing in a Las Vegas hotel room. Thus, the intelligence community tasked with safeguarding America from national security threats not only kept silent about Joe Biden being compromised, many of its leaders told voters actual "disinformation" about the Hunter Biden laptop.

Fmr. intel chief admits they all knew key parts of Hunter laptop were 'real', but signed 'disinfo' letter anyway. Douglas Wise, a former Defense Intelligence Agency deputy director, told The Australian in an interview that a "significant portion" of the documents found on Hunter Biden's laptop "had to be real," but says he doesn't regret signing a letter contesting the laptop. The letter was written in October 2020 and was signed by 51 former intelligence officials who cast doubt on the laptop's authenticity, claiming it had the markings of Russian disinformation. Wise told The Australian, "All of us figured that a significant portion of that content had to be real to make any Russian disinformation credible."

Ex-top intel official Douglas Wise knew Hunter Biden laptop 'had to be real' but signed 'disinfo' letter anyway. A former top intelligence official who signed on to a letter attacking The [New York] Post's bombshell 2020 reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation has now admitted he knew a "significant portion" of the recovered files "had to be real" — but doesn't regret dismissing the exposé. Douglas Wise, a former Defense Intelligence Agency deputy director, was one of 51 erstwhile intelligence brass who issued the public letter on Oct. 19, 2020 — five days after The Post began a series of reports on the now-first son's shady overseas business dealings. "All of us figured that a significant portion of that content had to be real to make any Russian disinformation credible," said Wise — who didn't respond when The Post reached out for an explanation in March of last year, but found his tongue when he spoke to The Australian.

The Manic Methods of Mad Democrats. Joe Biden daily forgets where he is and what he is doing. Someday historians will fault those who knowingly used a non compos mentis septuagenarian, without regard for the interests of the American people, to mask a radical neo-socialist agenda. Biden shakes imaginary hands. He insists his son died in Iraq. In his mind, Brian Sicknick was murdered on January 6. In Walter Mitty-style, he brags that he has been a semi-truck driver, an arrested civil rights activist, a major college football prospect, a U.S. Naval Academy scholarship prospect, and on and on. If Biden was given the Montreal Cognitive Test, as was Trump, he would likely flunk it outright.

Unlike Trump's, Biden's Classified Document Scandal Is Real. The whole Trump document scandal is beyond stupid and an obvious attempt by fascist Attorney General Merrick Garland to stop Trump from beating Biden in the upcoming presidential election. Granted, information might arrive that changes my mind, but as of right now, the Trump Classified Document Scandal is nothing more than a reheated version of the Russia Collusion Hoax. Not so much with His Fraudulency. First off, the Biden documents in question have so far been found in three, count them — three — separate and unsecure locations:
• Joe Biden's former office at his Washington D.C. think tank.
• Believe it or not, the garage of his Delaware home, the same garage where he keeps the mid-life crisis he calls a Corvette.
• The library of his Delaware home.
Side note: Are we supposed to believe someone as dumb as Joe Biden has both a think tank and a library? I'll bet both the library and think tank have pinball machines and a soda fountain. Anyway. There is a no less secure place in a home than a garage. And how do you like the thought of America's secrets blowing around an abandoned office?

Joe Rogan Floats Theory That Biden Document Scandal Is A Ploy By Democrats To Replace Him. Joe Rogan shared a wild theory with his massive following that President Biden's ongoing classified documents scandal is a carefully crafted ploy by Democrats to prevent him from running again in 2024. Rogan made the claim over the weekend during a conversation with two comedians on his popular podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience." "If I had to guess — they're trying to get rid of him," the 55-year-old host said of President Biden's own party. "My guess would be they're trying to get rid of him." He provided no evidence to back up his theory, admitting he doesn't "know [anything] about politics" in his discussion with guests Matt McCusker and Shane Gillis. Still, Rogan said he feels it was strange that Biden's own aides were the people stating that they found classified documents in his Delaware home.

Destroying American Democracy - An Inside Job. Just last week it was revealed that the FBI again withheld pertinent information from the American public, for past two months, until after the November 8, 2022 federal election. As with the Bureau's reported cover-up of evidence influence-peddling reportedly found on Hunter Biden's laptop, agents knew, since November 2, 2022, about at least some of the three sets of classified material that illegally found their way into the garage and library of President Joe Biden and into the Penn Biden Center think tank at the University of Pennsylvania — to which anonymous members of the Chinese Communist Party have donated $54.6 million. Their existence only became known this week, after the newly elected Republican-majority House of Representatives announced that it would hold hearings on "how the [Justice] department handled investigations into classified materials found at former President Donald Trump's Florida home and those found at President Joe Biden's office in a Washington think tank bearing his name and his Delaware home..." In addition, the recent release of the "Twitter Files" has raised at least two major concerns regarding actions by the Intelligence Community. The first is that the wall of separation between the Intelligence Community and the U.S. media has not only sprung a leak, it has totally collapsed.

Crooked Rod Rosenstein Says DOJ Should Just Ask Biden If He Was Aware of Documents in His Possession. Crooked Rod Rosenstein created the Mueller Special Counsel that was based on a lie. He kept it going for years. It was a coup of the Trump Administration and today he walks free. Rosenstein was chosen to go on Sunday morning's "Meet the Press" with far-left Chuck Todd to discuss the Special Counsel put in place to investigate Joe Biden's crimes of stealing classified documents and holding them at his home and his office at Penn U. Rosenstein says the key question is whether Biden was aware of the documents held in his possession. [...] Rosenstein then says the question is whether Biden knew he had the documents. We all know the answer to that. Yes, Biden was aware of the documents but he isn't aware of anything else.

Was the Mar-a-Lago Raid a Biden Insurance Policy? Much of the commentary concerning the presence of classified documents at the Penn Biden Center office and the President's Delaware home has focused on the delay between the discovery and the public revelation of that discovery. And it is difficult to believe that the timing was apolitical. There is another question about the timing, however, that no one seems to have asked: Why were classified documents that had been in Biden's possession since 2017 suddenly found less than 90 days after the FBI raid on former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago compound? That raid was obviously a well-orchestrated piece of theater calculated to draw maximum coverage by the corporate news media and to be seen by the American public. [...] Biden's people all but certainly learned long before Nov. 2 or Aug. 8 of last year that he was illegally in possession of classified material — and had been stunningly sloppy about security. These people are smart enough to know Biden's classified document problem would eventually become public knowledge, and that damage control would be necessary. What better way to preemptively indemnify the Big Guy than to raid the home of former President Trump on the pretext that he was committing a crime of which Biden himself is guilty?

White House Makes Major Admission About Visitor Logs for Biden's Delaware Home. Since it was first revealed that Joe Biden had illegally taken and kept classified information following his vice presidency, the story has continued to evolve. As of this writing, there have now been four different locations where documents were "found," including multiple troves at the president's Delaware home. That's led many to ask the obvious question. Namely, who exactly had access to them before they were removed? As RedState reported, we know Hunter Biden claimed the house as his residence during the time period in question, claiming to have paid nearly $50,000 in "rent" a month on a background check. Obviously, there would have been other visitors as well.

Biden uses his lawyers to find his classified docs — to shield from the FBI. The discovery of a fourth set of classified documents, at the Biden residence in Delaware, has further undermined the White House's virtual mantra that the president "takes classified documents very seriously." Putting aside the repeated movement of highly classified documents over six years, one curious element has emerged in this scandal: the use of private counsel. Not only did President Joe Biden enlist lawyers to clear out his private Washington office; he then used them — rather than security officers or the FBI — to search for additional classified documents. The initial use of lawyers is notable. While it seems a fairly pricey moving crew, Biden could argue a trove of documents might require a judgment on where they should be sent and whether they belong to Biden, the Penn Biden Center or the government.

Biden Caught In Yet Another Lie. President Joe Biden has told lie after lie, getting caught each time. You'd think he'd learned his lesson by now. In yet another fabrication of his, Biden claimed that he attended a black church in Delaware every morning after he attended Catholic mass in high school, despite members of the church not being able to recall the president ever being there.

Biden: Making America Worse Again. Despite the screeching from Biden's political and media guardians that the Big Guy is less blameworthy than Big Orange, the facts show that whatever Trump has been accused of, Biden has been guilty of, as well, and in some cases his conduct worse:
• Trump has been called a liar, and continues to be called one today, more than two years after leaving public office. Meanwhile, Biden, across his nearly half century of "public service" has made up more fiction than a pulp novelist.
• Trump and Russia? A made-up story. Biden and entanglements with foreign interests that weaken his ability to be an effective commander in chief? The truth. Even before he was elected president, it was known that he was "compromised by his family's shady foreign dealings." China, Ukraine and Russia have been prominent players in the Biden family influence-peddling operation.
• The current president has used law enforcement for corrupt purposes. A majority (53%) of Americans are convinced, for good reason, that he's used the FBI as his "personal Gestapo." Trump was on the other side of the FBI. It was out to get him.
• Yes, Trump complained about having the 2020 election stolen from him. But Biden himself has undermined faith in elections, agreeing that Trump was an illegitimate president and claiming Al Gore, not George Bush, was elected to the White House in 2000.
• So Trump likes to insult his opponents? Sure. So does Biden. He told a union man he was "full of s***" and "a horse's a**." Called a 21-year-old college student "a lying dog-faced pony soldier." Ridiculed a group of soldiers he was talking to as a "dull bunch" of "stupid bastards." Biden is such a prince among men that he has reviled Trump voters as semi-Fascists. Our "president for all Americans" sees "chumps" when he sees Trump supporters and tagged Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a b****."
A majority of American voters in 2020 demanded that Trump be replaced by Biden because, well, we're not sure why. The public has long known that Biden is a serial prevaricator, has built a family empire off of his political career, and is more buffoon than statesman. But he gets away with it because the narrative is controlled by people who are just like him.

The big problem with the Joe Biden documents story. The biggest problem with the Joe Biden documents story is this: We know only what Joe Biden's lawyers have told us. And the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the case will make the problem worse. The initial fact that Biden, after his term as vice president ended, kept some classified documents in his possession was revealed by a team of Biden lawyers. In making a public statement, they noted that the discovery of the classified documents, on Nov. 2, 2022, in Biden's old office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C., was made by... a team of Biden lawyers.

5 more classified documents found at Biden's Delaware home, White House lawyer says. A third batch of classified documents was found at President Biden's residence in Wilmington, Delaware, the president's attorneys announced Saturday. Special counsel to the president Richard Sauber disclosed in a statement that five additional pages of documents with classified markings were found at Biden's home Thursday evening, making a total of six classified documents retrieved from there. Sauber explained that when Biden's personal attorneys identified one classified document at Biden's home on Wednesday, they "immediately" stopped searching for additional documents because they lacked the security clearances necessary to view those materials.

White House Falsely Claimed Thursday Classified Document Search Was Completed Wednesday. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre falsely claimed Thursday that the search for President Joe Biden's classified documents was completed Wednesday night. The White House is having difficulty portraying an accurate timeline of when classified documents have been unearthed from Biden's residence in Delaware. "The search was concluded last night," Jean-Pierre claimed Thursday in a press briefing. "He [Biden] is confident in this process." That timeline was contradicted Saturday when the White House admitted five more documents had been found Thursday.

Is the Deep State Coming After Joe Biden? The second half of Joe Biden's presidential term has officially gotten off to an ignominious start. Earlier in the week, CBS News first broke the story that Biden had been storing classified documents, taken from his previous stint as vice president to Barack Obama, at the Chinese-funded Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement "think tank." Those classified documents were first identified by Biden's personal attorneys, CBS reported, on Nov. 2 — a full six days before the midterm elections. Richard Sauber, Biden's special counsel, claimed that the White House counsel's office quickly notified the National Archives, which seized the documents posthaste. That alone would be bad enough for a president who utterly excoriated former President Donald Trump in the aftermath of last August's unprecedented predawn FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's palatial Palm Beach estate, due to Trump's own classified document retention scandal. Biden openly wondered to CBS' "60 Minutes" news program weeks after the FBI raid "how anyone could be that irresponsible." The galling hypocrisy from the Penn Biden Center incident would have been bad enough. But then, Joe Biden's week got even worse.

Emerging Regret About Ukraine War in the U.S. and My Interview With Emerald Robinson on Biden's Classified Document Leaks. Speaking of bizarre (and shifting gears), the Feds have found more classified documents that Joe Biden squirreled away for six years and counting. We are asked to believe that Biden's attorneys, for no good reason, just decided to start searching through a closet at the Biden Penn Center — the Chinese funded center — and found some Top Secret docs. If I am Joe Biden and you are my attorney your job is to destroy those documents. There is no audit trail. But that is not what they did. They told the National Archives personnel. Those folks alerted the Department of Justice. This was in early November. And in the ensuing weeks following that initial discovery, they find more; including a new batch this week. What [...] is going on? The decision to pack up those documents when Biden left office was not an accident due to carelessness. Biden's staffers, starting with his Chief of Staff Ron Klain, not only handled those documents but knew why the classified material was being removed illegally from the White House. Those staffers will be in the trick box in the coming weeks. Get your popcorn. It will be quite a show.

Document: Hunter Listed $49,910 Monthly Rent Payments While Living at Joe Biden's Residence. Hunter Biden recorded monthly rent payments of $49,910 while living at President Joe Biden's residence, according to a document unearthed by New York Post's Miranda Devine. On a document titled "background screening request," it appears Hunter paid $49,910 in monthly rent for one year while living at Joe Biden's Delaware residence, where the president kept classified documents alongside his Corvette in the garage. Hunter listed his rental tenancy from March 2017 to February 2018, the document shows. The document is signed July 2018.

Andrew McCabe Calls on Biden's DOJ to Obstruct GOP's Classified Documents Probe. On Friday afternoon, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) announced an investigation into Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents, some of which were labeled top secret. Andrew McCabe, the disgraced former FBI deputy director and current CNN senior law enforcement analyst, promptly urged the Biden Justice Department to obstruct that investigation. "Chairman Jim Jordan announced this House Judiciary Committee investigation into the DOJ actions related to the President's handling of the classified documents today," explained CNN anchor Anderson Cooper on Friday night. "How much does that impact the DOJ ongoing investigation?" "I certainly would advise them — if they were willing to listen to my advice — I would advise them to take a very hard line against that," McCabe said. "There is a clear precedent here of not sharing information from an ongoing criminal investigation with Congress. And I think the DOJ is in a very strong position to resist on those grounds."

For Biden Supporters, No Lie Is Too Much To Break The Faith. The Constitutional Crisis that is the Biden regime continues to exceed previous levels of cover-up, denial, and dishonesty. Through it all, media members and other Biden supporters keep getting played for fools, but they always come back for more. [...] Journalists should be really, really angry that they have been lied to — again — and as they were directed to run interference and damage control for Biden — again. After all, they've been thoroughly embarrassed because they have stepped on a rake and have been smacked forcibly in the face with the long handle of inescapable truth. And yet they've still got Biden's back. A Special Counsel has been appointed as of midday Thursday, January 12, 2023. Forgive me, but I will not be holding my breath for an honest investigation.

The Corvette Files. For Merrick Garland, who oversees the FBI, the discoveries were not a joke. He's now in the crosshairs of those who, like me, think we are once again seeing a double standard of justice on his watch. (Forget that his predecessors ignored Hillary's mishandling of classified information on an unsecured server; this discovery so near in time puts him and the National Archives on the hot spot.) Why did the archivist raise an issue before the midterms respecting Trump, and never raise any issue about Biden? Why did the archivist's complaint trigger a grand jury, subpoenas, and a raid on Mar-a-Lago, yet these new discoveries seem to end with a full acceptance of what Biden's attorneys say they found? Yes, Garland has tried to pass this off to Robert Hur, whom he named special counsel to look into it, but despite his credentials, Hur doesn't seem to some to be the best choice. For one thing, he's as Deep State as you can imagine: [...] Is it any wonder that people like Larry O'Connor believe Hur was chosen to impede congressional Republicans in their own investigations?

Mueller's pit bull Andrew Weissmann is greasing the skids under Biden. Joe Biden has lost his protection and is now a liability to the cabal that runs the deep state. They are sending metaphorical shots across his bow, warning him that he and Jill will not be campaigning for re-election, and will be lucky to serve out his one and only term as president. Minimizing the damage to the cabal and the Democrat party that is its primary instrument is now the prime directive. The message to Biden is that he can either go out like Nixon or like Lyndon Baines Johnson. The former was driven from office, while the latter read the alignment of the stars and announced that he would not seek re-election to the presidency. One piece of evidence comes from Andrew Weissmann, who ran the special counsel investigation of Trump purportedly headed by Robert Mueller. Weissmann is well known as a hard ball player, labeled a "pit bull" by even the New York Times. When he signals that someone is in danger, he is not to be ignored.

The Real Scandal Behind Joe Biden's Classified Documents Scandal. Of course, on Saturday, that narrative took another beating with the discovery of a fourth trove of classified documents. This time, they were found in Biden's filing cabinet at his home office. To say that it belabors belief that they ended up there without the president's knowledge is to severely understate the situation. Clearly, with so many documents floating around in so many different locations, this wasn't just some staffers haphazardly packing boxes in the final days of the Obama administration. Yet, somehow, as big of a scandal as the possession of those classified documents is, they've actually served as a useful tool in revealing a possibly bigger scandal. Namely, how the Biden family garners and handles money. For example, isn't it a little concerning that Joe Biden was paid nearly $1,000,000 as part of the Penn Biden Center, a university arm that allegedly received $61 million from the Chinese? Given he never actually taught a class, what exactly was he getting paid to do? One of the more peculiar aspects of Biden's political career has been his dogged subservience to the Chinese communists, and certainly, the circumstances of his entanglements warrant further investigation.

'We're all being scammed': Fmr. AG says Merrick Garland is protecting Biden with scope of probe. After years of watching the Department of Justice (DOJ) run cover for President Joe Biden and his progressive agenda, many were pleasantly surprised when U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland swiftly moved to appoint former U.S. Attorney Robert Hur as special counsel to investigate the shocking discovery of classified documents found in the President's Penn Biden Center office and at his Delaware home. But former Kansas AG Phil Klein says we shouldn't be too quick to celebrate: The "narrow authority" Garland gave Hur is evidence that he's still covering for the Biden family.

Biden Admin Fails to Comply with Classified Doc Probe After Vowing 'Highest Standards of Transparency'. The Biden administration has failed to comply with the House Oversight Committee's investigation into President Joe Biden's mishandling of top secret documents after promising the "highest standards of transparency" in United States history. In a letter issued by the president on February 4, 2021, Biden vowed the highest standards of transparency would be "revitalized" and implemented within his administration.

Another Batch of Biden Classified Documents Found and Announced Today. Back in the Wilmington, Delaware, stash house where Hunter Biden used to bring his hookers and dope dealing friends; what is also described as the home of Joe Biden, where the alarm system was so dysfunctional the Secret Service apparently turned it off; according to the Biden lawyers today, they have found a fourth set of classified documents. This brings the total in the Delaware stash house to three sets. One batch in the garage, next to the corvette; another set in an adjacent room; and apparently in yet a third location in the same home where needles, bongs and useful heroine tools were customary tableware, they have found more.

Joe Biden's usefulness may be coming to an end. It was CBS News that first broke the story of Joe and his adventures with classified docs that he shouldn't have had in his possession. Just last week the world discovered that the Washington office of the "Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement" [!], a Chinese-funded "dark-money nightmare," had a cache of secret stuff. Then we learned about the garage sale, no Corvettes included, wheeze. And then, just a few days ago, the world woke up to, wouldn't you know it, yet more classified docs stashed away somewhere among Joe's collection of aviators in his Delaware home. As I write, Biden's lawyers (nota bene, not the FBI) have found five more pages of classified material in the library at Biden's home. Who knows where else he has the forbidden docs stashed?

Classified documents scandal puts Joe's presidency in peril. A favorite saying among insiders is that two weeks is a lifetime in politics, meaning anything can happen. In Joe Biden's case, a mere five days was enough to turn his world upside down. The news Saturday that more classified documents were found in his Delaware home ends a bizarre week that suddenly put Biden's presidency in peril and further damaged the sagging credibility of the Department of Justice. When reports emerged last Monday that multiple classified documents were found in an office Biden used after leaving the White House as vice president, the propaganda media circled the wagons around him by insisting he's no Donald Trump. They had a point — up to a point. But when reports two days later said a second batch of supposedly secret papers was found in Biden's Delaware garage, the wall of media protection showed some cracks as the differences between the presidents' cases narrowed.

Rep. Jim Jordan Demands Biden Administration Provide Documents About Special Counsel Appointment. Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan is demanding documents from the DOJ related to the appointment of a special counsel to investigate classified documents found in President Joe Biden's private office and garage. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed former U.S. Attorney Robert Hur on Jan. 12 to investigate the handling of documents found in the president's office at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as other documents found in the president's garage at his Wilmington, Delaware residence. Although the University of Pennsylvania documents were found in November, their apparent mishandling was not made public until Jan. 9. "It is unclear when the Department first came to learn about the existence of these documents, and whether it actively concealed this information from the public on the eve of the 2022 elections," Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson wrote Friday in a letter to Garland. "The Department's actions here appear to depart from how it acted in similar circumstances."

White House Caught in Another Lie As More Classified Documents Surface in Biden's House. Biden's "garage-gate" scandal keeps growing as it turns out even more documents were found at President Biden's private residence earlier this week, but their existence was only disclosed on Saturday morning. On Thursday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre — who has insisted she's being truthful with the American people and transparent about what she and the White House knows — told Americans that the search for classified documents in Biden's possession was "complete" and Biden was "confident" in the process. On Friday, Jean-Pierre again defended post-VP Biden and the current White House's handling of the situation, repeating her claim that the president takes classified documents "very seriously." But then on Saturday morning, White House Counsel Richard Sauber said in a statement that five more additional classified documents were found in Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home on Thursday evening.

Hunter Biden asks judge to STOP his estranged daughter from taking his surname. Hunter Biden asked for a judge to deny his estranged four-year-old daughter born to a stripper from taking his surname, claiming that doing so would rob the child of a 'peaceful existence.' The request was made by the president's son on January 6, just a couple of weeks after the child's mother Lunden Roberts filed a name change petition for their daughter, Navy Joan Roberts. Roberts, 31, who is raising Navy in Arkansas, filed the petition last month amid an ongoing paternity suit over child support payments that were adjusted because Biden's 'financial circumstances' had undergone a 'substantial, material change.'

Hunter Biden asks court to stop love child from taking his sullied surname. He doesn't want to give her his bad name. Hunter Biden asked a judge to deny his 4-year-old daughter from taking his surname — claiming it's a lightning rod for criticism and would rob the child of a "peaceful existence." The first son's request on Jan. 6 came amid an ongoing paternity case against him in Independence, Ark., where Biden is fighting to lower his child-support payments to baby mama Lunden Roberts for their love child, Navy Joan Roberts. Roberts, 31, asked Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer on Dec. 27 to allow their daughter to take the Biden name, claiming it would benefit their daughter because it is "now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute and politically powerful." But the president's erratic son — who was being probed for shady foreign business deals, battled crack addiction, and been filmed waiving a gun around in the nude with a prostitute — disagreed about the value of his sullied surname.

House Oversight Demands List of Names and Locations Linked to Biden's Classified Docs. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is not going to let the Biden White House off the hook after classified documents were found at President Joe Biden's Delaware home. On Friday, Comer pressed Biden's legal team demanding a list of names and locations linked to the search of documents that were kept in the president's garage and office. The Republican also asked for a list of security clearance levels, and the job titles of any aid attorney assigned by Biden to search for the private papers among his personal belongings. This comes a day after Comer said that the Biden Administration has a "history of covering things up." Earlier this week, Comer sent a letter to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to inform them that the House Oversight plans to investigate "whether there is a political bias" at the agency, claiming that there is "inconsistent treatment of recovering classified records held by former President Trump and President Biden."

Kathy Chung, former VP Biden's executive assistant when he left office, has a very curious past with Hunter and now is being questioned. Kathy Chung may be a key figure in the mishandling of classified documents from Joe Biden's two terms as vice president. As his executive assistant at the time, she was reportedly involved in packing up the documents he removed from government offices when his term as VP ended. [...] Who is Kathy Chung? Curiously, neither the UK Daily Mail nor Fox News, both of which are experts at digging up photos, has been able to come up with a picture of Ms. Chung, despite her currently serving in a rather public position for a rather public figure, the Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. [...] If a fall guy or gal is needed, Ms. Chung would be a good person to start considering for the post. But she may her own trove of compromising information to use as bargaining leverage in dealing with the special counsel's staff, with Biden himself, and with the puppet masters that may be behind the leaks that are pressuring Biden just as he was poised to announce a run for re-election, according to earlier media reports.

Speaker McCarthy eviscerates the 'Biden's document mess is different' defense. Speaker Kevin McCarthy went on a rant Thursday when asked about the differences between the Trump and Biden document dramas — and rightly so. The idea that President Joe Biden's case is entirely different from ex-President Donald Trump's is the media's first line of defense for the current prez. And yes, lots of details differ. But, as McCarthy noted, many of them make Biden look worse. The speaker's demolition of the apples-to-apples critique was a powerful performance, slicing all the issues expertly. He rightly pointed to the irony that a guy "on '60 Minutes' that was so concerned about President Trump's documents" now has been revealed to have kept secret documents "for years out in the open in different locations," none of them secure.

House GOP stepping up push for release of Biden Delaware visitor logs. House Republicans are trying to figure out how to force the White House to disclose visitor logs from President Biden's Delaware residences after the revelation that he stashed classified documents in the garage and at least one other room of his Wilmington home. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) demanded the records Friday in what could be a prelude to a binding congressional order. "In light of the Biden family's suspicious business schemes with foreign adversaries, Americans need to know who has visited President Biden's Wilmington residence and had access to the stashed classified documents that sat in Biden's garage," Comer told The [New York] Post after sending a broad records request to White House counsel Stuart Delery.

Document Scandal Puts Biden on Defense. Joe Biden's best two months since becoming president ended on the evening of January 9, when White House lawyers revealed that classified materials from Biden's years as vice president had been stored in his Washington, D.C., office between 2017 and 2019. A few days later, the White House confirmed that additional secret papers had been found inside Biden's garage in Wilmington, Delaware. On January 12, attorney general Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate whether Biden broke the law and revealed that another document had been recovered. And the scandal grew.

Former Biden Aide Questioned by Federal Investigators in Probe into GarageGate Has Close Ties to Hunter. A former Joe Biden aide who was questioned by federal investigators as part of the government's investigation into stolen classified documents improperly stored at Biden's private office and garage. Recall, Hunter Biden suggested to his father he hire Kathy Chung to be his assistant. Joe Biden hired Hunter's Rosemont Seneca employee Anne Marie Person, 34, to be one of his private VP staffers. Kathy Chung was excited Joe Biden hired Anne Marie Person in emails previously released from Hunter Biden's laptop. "I am very excited to have Anne Marie Person working here with me in the West Wing!! I think all of you know her from her work with Rosemont Seneca," wrote then-Vice President Biden's assistant, Kathy Chung, in a May 27, 2014 email to Beau, Hunter and Jim Biden and other members of the Biden clan, according to the New York Post. Many more emails from Kathy Chung to Hunter Biden were also discovered.

Former Biden assistant questioned by law enforcement over classified docs repeatedly appeared in Hunter emails. A former top aide to President Biden — who reportedly was questioned by federal investigators as part of the probe into the president's handling of classified documents — exchanged emails with Hunter Biden on numerous occasions, according to a Fox News Digital review. Kathy Chung, Biden's executive assistant when he was vice president and the Pentagon's current deputy director of protocol, is among several former aides to the president to be interviewed by law enforcement, NBC News reported Thursday. Chung and the others questioned reportedly helped move materials and belongings from Biden's office at the end of the Obama administration in early 2017. Throughout much of her five-year tenure working for Biden during the Obama administration, Chung regularly communicated with Biden's son Hunter Biden, transmitting information about his father's schedule and passing messages directly from the then-vice president, according to emails obtained from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop and verified by Fox News Digital.

What the Classified Scandal Shows About Biden's Foreign Connections. Biden's misappropriated classified documents problem keeps getting worse with a second tranche of documents being discovered at another location. It is now clear that the first set of classified documents found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement was not an isolated incident. Despite that, the FBI and National Archives are continuing to take a casual approach to the case. There have been no raids of Biden facilities. And won't be. But beyond the misappropriation of classified documents, a violation of the Espionage Act, the discovery renews old questions about the foreign connections of Joe Biden and his family. While details about the classified documents remain scant, we know that they included briefing materials related to three countries: Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom. It may be a coincidence that Biden has corrupt ties to two of the countries on the list, but it's more likely that there was something in these briefing materials that specifically interested him.

Karine Jean-Pierre Just Proved the White House Is Anything But Transparent. Friday's [1/13/2023] White House press briefing brought more of the same non-answer responses from Biden's Press Secretary — Karine Jean-Pierre — who's turned into something of a broken record when it comes to her repetitive insistence that the president takes classified documents "very seriously." (He doesn't.) President Biden's spokeswoman repeatedly refused to answer questions from White House reporters, often making a similar excuse for why she couldn't say, for example, whether Biden would sit for an interview with investigators: The White House Counsel's Office has already issued statements and she simply can't say anything further. Apparently Jean-Pierre expects everyone to accept that copping to the president's improper handling of sensitive documents *after* he'd been caught and the story broke — and then refusing to answer questions about the situation — is the utmost in transparency. (It's not.)

Report: Biden Admin Officials Blame National Archives for Joe Biden's Classified Document Scandal. Former and current Biden administration officials have reportedly blamed the National Archives for mishandling President Joe Biden's classified documents stashed in three separate locations. According to a Friday CNN report that cited "former and current administration officials and others familiar with the process," the National Archives refused to treat then-Vice President Biden's records with the "same high regard" as it did former President Obama's records. "While the National Archives sends staff members to the White House to gather files and papers of the President, they do not treat all vice presidential papers with the same high regard, officials said," CNN reported.

Jim Jordan launches first investigation as Judiciary chair into Biden classified docs scandal. Jim Jordan's first investigation as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee will examine President Biden's "mishandling" of classified documents and the Justice Department's investigation. The investigation led by Jordan, R-Ohio, comes one day after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to examine the matter, former U.S. attorney Robert Hur. The Justice Department escalated it to a special counsel investigation from a mere review Thursday after a second stash of classified documents was found inside the garage of Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home. The first documents were found inside the Washington, D.C., offices of the Penn Biden Center think tank.

Tucker Carlson: Dems [are] pushing Biden out. Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson, a rock star to conservatives across America, is pointing out what likely is behind the classified documents scandal involving Joe Biden. It is, Carlson said last night, "the beginning of the end for Joe Biden." [Video clip] "We can't prove that. The future is unknowable, but holy smokes, it does not look good and it doesn't look good in a very recognizable way. Somewhere in his basement rec room drinking a Courvoisier on ice, Andrew Cuomo is chuckling to himself. He's seen this movie before. Joe Biden's own aides keep finding stacks of felonies he's left around the place in his office, in his car, and instead of throwing this evidence in the fireplace, as under normal circumstances they would, they're sending these documents on to the Justice Department. That's not a good sign."

Report: Charges Against Hunter Biden Could Be Imminent. U.S. Attorney David C. Weiss is getting close to making a decision on whether or not to prosecute Hunter Biden. Weiss, the U.S. attorney for Delaware, and his team have been investigating Hunter Biden's international business dealings and any possible connections between Hunter's business associates and Joe Biden. "Investigators have pored over documents related to and questioned witnesses about his overseas business dealings. They include his role on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company led by an oligarch who at the time was under investigation for corruption — a position that Hunter accepted while his father, as vice president, was overseeing Obama administration policy in Ukraine," the New York Times reports. "They also include his equity stake in a Chinese business venture, and his failed joint venture with a Chinese tycoon who had courted well-connected Americans in both parties — at one point he gave Hunter Biden a large diamond as a gift — but was later detained by Chinese authorities."

Some unanswered questions about those Biden classified documents. [Scroll down] Where did Joe do his office work while in Washington? Was it with Hunter and the Chinese oligarch? Did he store his documents there, too, for the Chinese guy to get his hands on? Why was it so important for the whole family to have keys to an office shared with a Chinese oligarch? And was this carelessness, or something worse, some kind of repayment to the Chinese for their "kind" generosity in supporting young Hunter's business ventures and all that nice money donated to Joe's Penn think tank? It seems an avenue could have been right there for the Chinese to get their hands on any top-secret compartmentalized documents they wanted with that shared office space and no need for sneaking around or handing out black bags at dead drops to do so.

AG Merrick Garland Timeline Does Not Align with DOJ Claims and Joe Biden Lawyers. During a press conference today, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Robert K Hur as Special Counsel to investigate the Joe Biden classified documents that were removed from the White House during President Obama's term in office (2009 through January 2017). The timeline given by AG Garland does not match up with prior DOJ statements and lawyers representing Joe Biden. [...] The timeline doesn't make sense. What was the FBI and John Lausch doing for two months? Something is not adding up. Also, you don't appoint a Special Counsel on the day it is announced. There had to be some discussion with Robert Hur in the lead up to the announcement today. We still don't know what the classified documents were about, how old they are, or how many of them exist. The only thing confirmed is the documents pertain to the timeline of the Obama-Biden administration which was January 2009 through January 2017. The Penn-Biden Center didn't exist until 2018, so where were the classified documents between the time they were taken and the time they were discovered in the office. As Vice President Joe Biden had no authority to declassify government documents and could not possess classified documents.

Anybody Vette This Guy? In my comments on the breaking news yesterday afternoon I noted Biden's assertion that the garage is locked and, hey, "it's not like they're sittin' out in the street." However, as any fool can see, the garage door was easily opened, the garage was not secure, and the garage could be entered by anyone with access to the house. [...] Think Hunter Biden.

Should Someone This Dumb Be the Special Counsel Investigating Biden's Stolen Classified Documents Scandal? We're assured that the person hired to be special counsel in the Joe Biden classified document scandal, Robert Hur, "has a great record. He is a superb lawyer." He was a pivotal right-hand man in a high governmental office. He "has a long and distinguished career as a federal prosecutor." And was a key person dealing with a very special, special counsel. That guy sounds like a total legal dreamboat. Except that those accolades were spoken by none other than disgraced former-deputy attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who conspired with the fellow disgracee Andrew McCabe to wear a wire to catch Donald Trump in a 25th Amendment-worthy meltdown because they hated him so much.

Time's Up for Lyin' Biden. Obama's choice for vice president was a bit of a political calculation but Biden wasn't picked for Delaware's votes or for Biden's smarts. Biden wasn't worth a warm bucket of spit and Obama knew that. What Biden brought was what everyone knew of him. A little brain, a big mouth, shiny white teeth, and white skin. Biden "won" the nomination because he was the "why not" pick. Biden was harmless Ol' Joe. An anodyne and doddering dummy. A guy who fits the title of "warm bucket of spit" as few vice presidents had. The most consequential event of Obama's two terms was the order to send DevGru SEALs to kill Bin Laden. Who was the guy who thought the raid was a bad idea? Biden. Of course, Biden has lied about that too, claiming he never said "don't go". [...] The second Trump took the oath of office, Joe was a private citizen. Sure he was still the "big guy," the head of his crime syndicate family with his idiot kid laundering money for the family but there was no sense at all that anyone, besides his wife, wanted Biden to run for president.

Joe Biden was selected to be Obama's running mate because he was the one U.S. Senator that could not intellectually overshadow Obama.

Is Document-Gate a Democrat Effort to Kneecap Biden's Re-Election Plans? As we've reported, classified documents keep popping up in President Joe Biden's think tank, his garage, and now the "personal library" at his residence... and suddenly the president is in potentially big trouble, both legally and politically. Thursday afternoon [1/12/2023] Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of Robert Hur as special prosecutor to investigate the case. If the most partisan and hyper-political attorney general ever is forced to investigate his own boss, you know things are serious. But notice the timing of the revelations. The Biden Administration has known about some of the documents since at least before the November elections, but the public is just finding out now. Conspiracy theories are flying around the internet, with both the harpies at The View and intellectual midgets like Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga (he who once thought Guam might tip over due to over-population) opining that the documents must have been planted. Honest Joe would never, ever be like Trump and get careless with years-old secret docs concerning Ukraine and Russia!

The Editor says...
There was never the slightest chance that Joe Biden was going to be re-elected in 2024. Not even with another rigged election. I think the Democrats are trying to force Biden out this year because it's now or never for The First Black Female President Ever! And I still think President Harris could run and win in 2024 simply by un-doing all the damage Biden has done, getting inflation under control, sealing the Mexican border, etc. She's not smart enough to accomplish any of that, or even try, so that would leave her as the designated loser in 2024 — but still in the history books (if there are any) as The First Black Female President Ever!

MSNBC Pulls Knives Out for Garland for Investigating Biden Docs. The twists and turns of President Biden's classified documents scandal took a sharp turn on Thursday when Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Special Counsel Robert Hur to investigate the chain of custody. But the unhinged and manic host of MSNBC's Deadline: White House, Nicolle Wallace, had her knives out and looking to take a pound of flesh from the AG, suggesting the decision was unjust and without integrity. She even suggested his investigation style was responsible for the political unrest in Brazil.

Nets Use Garland Presser to Brutally Torch Biden Over Classified Docs. After days of occasionally mealy-mouthed defenses of President Biden over news that classified documents were found at the Penn Biden Center and then a testy Wednesday White House briefing, the [dam] broke Thursday afternoon following Attorney General Merrick Garland's appointment of Special Counsel Robert Hur to investigate that and at least two other discoveries of classified documents at Biden's Wilmington, Delaware residence. ABC, CBS, and NBC all broke in for Garland's announcement and, with few exceptions, they brutally savaged the President and his administration for misleading the public and withholding information about these discoveries until well after the midterm elections. CBS in particular didn't hold anything back.

Tucker Carlson Asks Why are Biden People Telling the DOJ About Biden Classified Documents? Fox News host Tucker Carlson asks the obvious question, why are Joe Biden people telling the DOJ about Biden having classified documents? Under normal corrupt and easy to handle circumstances the documents would be destroyed, hidden and never revealed; yet here they are being exposed by people in the Biden orbit. In corrupt DC circles, the Biden revelations show there is some entity and motive behind the discoveries. Tucker Carlson ponders what that agenda is all about. [Video clip]

5 Things to Know About [the] Special Counsel Investigating Classified Documents Held by Biden. Robert K. Hur, the new special counsel, isn't as widely known as past special prosecutors appointed to investigate presidents, among them former FBI Director Robert Mueller or former Solicitor General Ken Starr, appointed to investigate allegations against Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, respectively. [...] Hur began his legal career as a Supreme Court clerk for Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who first was appointed to the high court by President Richard Nixon and named chief justice by President Ronald Reagan. Both presidents were Republicans. Hur also clerked for Judge Alex Kozinski of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Reagan appointed Kozinski to the 9th Circuit. Hur is a graduate of Stanford Law School, where he was executive editor of the Stanford Law Review. Hur also received an undergraduate degree from Harvard in English and American literature.

Biden Just Tanked Democrats' Chances of Using the Mar-a-Lago Raid Against Trump. President Joe Biden may have singlehandedly deprived his party of what might have been one of its most powerful weapons to use against former President Donald Trump. At the moment, story after story is emerging showing that he is guilty of what Democrats and members of the activist media have accused Trump of. [...] The first batch of Biden's documents was discovered on November 2. The second, which was found in his garage was revealed on December 20. The latest batch, which was located in Biden's Delaware residence came to light on January 12. Is it possible that the DOJ has not moved on Trump because Attorney General Merrick Garland and the gang knew Biden was possibly guilty of the same offense with which they planned to charge the former president? I would say so.

Biden Held 'Stolen' Classified Docs at His Delaware Home and the Secret Service Kept No Records of Visitors While They Were There. We know the Biden family committed unsavory actions. These facts surrounding the Biden family hiding top secret documents at their house in Deleware are very concerning and a danger to the country's national security. Attorney Mike Davis explained on Steve Bannon's War Room that these documents at his home were stolen by Joe when he left office in 2017. Steve Bannan asked Davis to clarify the word "stole". He noted that no one has ever "accused President Trump of stealing records." Davis replied: ["]The former Vice President Joe Biden did not have these same privileges as Vice President as President's do. Vice Presidents, like anyone else, cannot take government records. They can't take Vice Presidential records when they leave office and they certainly can't take classified records. The President can take Presidential records when he leaves office, whether they're classified or not. No one else can and so that's the issue. Vice President Joe Biden absolutely stole government records. He absolutely stole classified records when he left office by the mere fact that they are in his possession. He moved them at least once when he left office, on January 20, 2017. He moved them again when he moved into the Biden Penn Office at 101 Constitution Avenue in February of 2018. He apparently has other stolen records at another location.["]

Hank Johnson: Someone Might Have Planted Biden Documents to Get Him. Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) suggested Thursday that someone might have planted caches of classified documents at President Joe Biden's private residence and former academic office in an effort to frame him. [Tweet] The remark came as news broke Thursday of a second cache of classified documents that his attorneys found at his garage — next to his prized Corvette — after a first cache was found Nov. 2, 2022 at the Penn Biden Center.

The Editor says...
If Hank Johnson is right, and Joe Biden resigns because of this, Who would benefit most? Kamala Harris? Donald Trump? The news media? The FBI? The DNC?

Is Day Of Reckoning At Hand For Biden Family's Influence Peddling? After more than two months, the Justice Department has finally named a special counsel to look into President Joe Biden's possession of classified government documents at his namesake think tank and his Delaware home. For this, give credit to the newly elected Republican Congress. As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean. And with a new Congress, comes new priorities. That includes investigating the Biden family's possible criminal corruption in its "business ties" to Chinese, Ukrainian and Russian state-linked organizations.

CNN's Latest Excuse for Biden Taking Classified Information Would Make Stalin Proud. While you might have thought that Joe Biden illegally taking and keeping classified information for six years following his vice presidency was a scandal, CNN is here to set you straight. The legacy cable news outlet — which I've been assured is getting back to hard news and unbiased reporting — has a new piece out that would make Stalin proud. In it, they lay out the case that Biden is completely innocent because his final days as vice president were a "whirlwind," and it's completely probable that these classified documents were just taken by accident, moved to multiple locations, including the president's home, and kept for over half a decade. Get a load of the picture they used. This is Pravda on steroids. [Tweet]

'The View' Goes off Into Loony Conspiracy Land Over the Biden Classified Docs. The ladies on "The View" were in typical form on Thursday as they whined about how inconvenient the burgeoning Biden classified documents scandal was interfering in their hoped for efforts to somehow get President Donald Trump. In the process, they implied that somehow the documents may have been planted. "You know what I think? I've never seen a luckier person than Donald Trump. Just as we're this close to getting him, somehow these documents appear!" Joy Behar complained. That in itself is so delusional on so many levels. That she thinks like so many Trump Derangement Syndrome folks that this time they've finally got him. Then, she's never seen a "luckier person" — not exactly lucky that the Democrats have been trying to get him since before he got into office because he was a threat to their power.

White House confirms Biden aides located Obama-era classified documents at two locations in Wilmington home. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday appointed a special counsel to take over the investigation into the Obama-era classified documents found at President Joe Biden's home and former private office. The special counsel is Robert Hur, who was nominated to be US attorney in Maryland by then-President Donald Trump in 2017 and he served in the role until his resignation in 2021. He had most recently been working in private practice in Washington, DC. "I strongly believe that the normal processes of this department can handle all investigations with integrity. But under the regulations, the extraordinary circumstances here require the appointment of a special counsel for this matter," Garland said.

On Classified Documents, Joe Biden Is Out Of Excuses. Every president probably stashes away classified documents. The chances of any president being successfully prosecuted for pilfering them are infinitesimal. Nevertheless, now that we've learned Joe Biden has engaged in the same behavior as Donald Trump — perhaps worse, considering vice presidents are afforded less leeway on classified documents — precedent and transparency, our very democracy, demand Attorney General Merrick Garland name a special counsel to investigate (I get results!) Right now, none of the rationalizations offered by the media for Biden's actions over the past few days are operational. When the story first broke, outlets stressed that one of the vital "distinctions" between the two incidents was that Biden was in possession of fewer documents than Trump. Biden aides, we learned, had been utterly shocked to discover only a "small number" of classified documents "locked" in the personal offices of the president's "think tank" — as if the location or the number of documents, or the alleged lock, rather than the contents, were the most newsworthy aspect of the story.

Third Find of Biden Classified Documents Shows How Bad the Problem Is. It's starting to get hard to keep up with all the classified documents that Joe Biden has left strewn all over the place. I wanted to clarify the alleged timing of the various finds. As we have already reported there was the cache that was found at the Penn Biden Center, locked in a closet by the personal attorney who just happened to be clearing out Biden's old office. Then there was a second set that we reported on earlier, which was found in his garage, near his Corvette. That's the one that Biden commented on and said they were safe because they were kept in the locked garage near his Corvette. He got decimated by George Washington law school professor Jonathan Turley, who mocked his claim of a "Corvette Standard," noting that wasn't a viable excuse. A campaign video also showed how insecure that garage truly looked. That second set was supposedly found on December 20. Now, we mentioned another document found in the Biden residence in Wilmington. That's a "third find" — that wasn't found on December 20. That supposedly was just found, and the DOJ was just notified about it, on Jan. 12. [Tweet]

Merrick Garland appoints special counsel to investigate Biden's handling of classified documents. Within 24 hours of the public learning of the existence of a second trove of classified documents stolen from the White House by Joe Biden, this time in his Delaware garage, AG Merrick Garland disposed of a hot potato by appointing Robert Hur, a DC Lawyer and former US Attorney for Maryland as special counsel. The approved narrative is already emphasizing that he was a Trump appointee but will not mention that presidents usually nominate candidates recommended by a state's senators, in Hur's case, liberal Democrats Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen in 2018. Hur is an expert in crisis management.

Jonathan Turley Takes Biden Apart Over Classified Documents and 'Corvette Standard'. The story of Joe Biden and the classified documents is just getting worse. As we reported earlier, the location of the second set of classified documents was concerning — in a storage area in Biden's Wilmington home. I knew it was going to be bad when they didn't even say where it was when they initially announced it. [Tweet] Then Biden's response to that was just horrible, claiming the classified documents were locked up next to his Corvette. "My Corvette's in a locked garage, okay? So it's not like they're sitting out on the street." [Tweet] That got George Washington Law School professor Jonathan Turley going. He ripped into Biden for his ridiculous response, noting, "The corvette standard is actually not in classified protocols..." and observing, "The White House Counsel could now cite the long-standing slogan for corvette: 'Like a car, only better.'" [Tweet]

McCarthy says he thinks Biden knew his office had classified documents. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Thursday argued President Biden knew his private office had classified documents, or he wouldn't have had his attorneys remove things from his office. "I think if you call a lawyer to remove something for your office, he must have known ahead of time," McCarthy said. "So, I think he has a lot of answers to the American public. The good thing about that is the American public has a Congress that can get the answers." The remarks came at McCarthy's first press conference as Speaker in response to a question from the conservative One America News Network about whether McCarthy had ever used a lawyer or an attorney to clean out his office. "No, I used my hands on my own," McCarthy said. Republicans have seized on the discovery of classified documents at Biden's office and his Wilmington residence garage to argue there's been a double standard over how former President Trump's classified documents controversy has been handled.

AG Garland appoints special counsel to investigate Biden classified documents. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday appointed a special counsel to investigate President Biden's handling of classified documents dating back to the Obama administration. Garland tapped Robert Hur, a former U.S. attorney, to handle the investigation. The Justice Department escalated it to a special counsel investigation from a mere review on Thursday after a second stash of classified documents was found inside the garage of Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home. The first documents were found inside the Washington offices of the Penn Biden Center think tank.

So Is This How They Get Rid of Him? Even the Democrats were surprised Republicans didn't do better in the last midterms. Chuck Schumer staying in control of the US Senate and Kevin McCarthy only having a handful of seats for his majority in the House was interpreted by many as a victory for President Joe Biden. In reality, Joe Biden had little if nothing to do with the midterm elections, evidenced by his almost complete absence from the campaign trail except for a few appearances for his similarly-cognitively-challenged soulmate John Fetterman. But Team Biden, craven political sociopaths that they are, immediately claimed complete and total victory in November, thus setting the stage for his triumphant announcement for re-election. Indeed, his holiday junket to the US Virgin Islands was reported to be the final strategy session for his big re-election announcement. If Biden is to run in 2024, he needs to make that clear within the first couple of months of 2023. [...] Now, let's be clear: Joe Biden running again in 2024 is the last thing most Democrats want. Let's face it, it's the last thing they wanted in 2020.

Time to Impeach Biden. When it was reported that Joe Biden had classified materials in his "office" at the University of Pennsylvania my first thought was wondering if Joe even knew where this "office" was. Joe likes to lie about having been a professor at Penn, but everyone not him knows that's a pile [of] garbage — the guy never taught one course, just hammered massive checks (from money we now know came from the Chinese communist government). But in the reality inside Biden's vacuous head he wears a cape to work and women clamor to be shoved against a wall and violated or simply to have their hair sniffed. In the real world, we've spent the last year being lectured about the importance of handling classified materials. Even Adam Schiff, who you'd think makes his living leaking classified materials to the media from the House Intelligence Committee, and Eric Swalwell, the moronic, gaseous boob who fell for the Fang Fang communist Chinese honey trap even a blind man could see coming, had stern words for Trump's actions. Now, curiously, they're both silent over what Biden did. Not because they have been booted from the Intelligence Committee by Republicans (Democrats had no problem with leaking classified materials and were likely so shocked that anyone would sleep with Swalwell, even a spy, that they let it slide), but because they simply are not honest people, nor do they care all that much about protecting the interests of the United States.

Penn Raked in $54 Million in Anonymously Earmarked Chinese Money When It Launched Biden Center — Old Joe's Cut $1 Million. On Wednesday Joe Biden told reporters he was "a professor" at Penn after he left office in 2017. This came after news broke that classified documents were found in a closet at the Penn Biden Center, linked to Joe Biden, in November before the 2022 election. The Department of Justice, the same group that set up the Trump-Russia scam, are allegedly investigating. [Tweet] Of course, this was a lie. According to the RNC: This is at least the 17th time Biden has told this lie since he became president. Biden was never a "professor." Biden and his associates raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars to essentially do nothing while millions in anonymously earmarked Chinese money flowed to the university.

More Classified Documents Found at Second Biden Stash House. Apparently, Joe Biden had multiple locations for the storage of his stolen classified material from the time he was in the Obama administration. NBC is reporting on a second batch of classified documents found at a second location.

Merrick Garland [was] Named Special Counsel to Investigate Trump, Not Biden, Two Weeks After Biden Classified Docs [were] Discovered. Attorney General Merrick Garland named a special counsel to investigate former President Donald Trump, not President Joe Biden, two weeks after Biden's classified briefings and documents were discovered at the Penn Biden Center. On November 18, Garland named former federal prosecutor Jack Smith special counsel for two probes by the Department of Justice of Trump. About two weeks prior, on November 2, Biden's classified documents were reportedly unearthed at Biden's so-called "think tank," the Penn Biden Center, by the president's attorney.

Biden Stashed Classified Docs at Office Partially Funded by Red China. We really need to know only two things about the documents: First, they dealt with Ukraine, Iran and the U.K. AGAIN with the Ukraine. Why would Biden want to stash at his private office documents from Ukraine? Well, he was Obama's point man for Ukraine when Obama-Biden helped overthrow the legitimately elected government. Then there are those millions paid by Ukraine to the Biden Family by Burisma — the same Burisma under investigation by a Ukraine prosecutor, until Biden threatened to withhold a billion dollars in aid if the prosecutor wasn't immediately fired. Then there were the White House meetings with Ukraine officials in 2016 who were pleased as punch to help Biden-Obama find dirt on Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. As for Iran, there were those cargo planes filled with cash. Obama torpedoing an investigation into Iran-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah's drug running into the United States. Side deals with Iran in the nuke deal kept from the American people. And Britain? A former British intelligence agent, Michael Steele, was responsible for creating the Steele Dossier used to drive the Trump-Russia Collusion Black Op. There have also been other stories of so-called Five Eyes countries like England helping the intelligence operation along. It's no wonder Biden wanted to keep documents from those countries close. And away from the eyes of the Trump Administration.

Peter Doocy Brings Down the House During Grilling of WH on Classified Docs. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was grilled on the question of the classified documents found at Joe Biden's Penn Biden office. I don't think they'd even heard yet that even more documents had been found. But it did not go over well for Jean-Pierre, particularly the grilling on why the American people hadn't been told when the first set of documents was found back on November 2, shortly before the election. Translation: were the Democrats once again covering something up from the American people to affect an election? [Numerous tweets] There's a lot that needs answering here. Biden hasn't worked for Penn since 2019. So why were they packing up the office in Nov. 2022, and why was a personal lawyer sent? Personal lawyers don't usually pack up offices, not when you have to pay them hundreds of dollars an hour. That would suggest that there was a reason that lawyer was there. Did someone else find the documents first and call the lawyer? And now, this also exposed the classified documents to that personal lawyer.

It's Heating Up: More Questions About the Penn Biden Center and Hunter Biden. We saw reporters ask White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre ask some very important questions about the classified documents that were found in Joe Biden's office at the Penn Biden Center. Then even more classified documents were found. One of the questions that the reporters asked and that I think they need to continue to press on was why was there a personal attorney packing up Biden's old office. The reporter asked if there was a reason an attorney was there and was the attorney looking for something. Jean-Pierre of course refused to answer the question. But it seems more than a little odd that you would have a high-paid attorney packing up an old office. But you might have an attorney there if someone else had discovered the documents and/or if you knew there were things to find but you weren't sure where they were. So that's why I think they need to keep asking that question.

Don't buy Biden's 'surprise' — classified documents were moved at least twice. With the reported discovery of a second batch of highly classified documents connected to President Biden, the decisions of Attorney General Merrick Garland are fast moving from inexplicable to incomprehensible. Garland was presumably briefed that classified documents were discovered in Joe Biden's old office on Nov. 2. He also presumably knew about the Biden documents when he appointed a special counsel to investigate the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago 16 days later. At the time of the appointment of Jack Smith, some of us noted the inexplicable refusal of Garland to appoint a special counsel to look into alleged Biden influence peddling and other crimes. Garland continued to refuse such an appointment even as he justified the appointment of Smith on the basis that Donald Trump was running for the presidency. Joe Biden is the president. What is the difference?

MSNBC Downplays [its] Own Exclusive Report on [the] 2nd Batch of Docs Biden Took. Another shoe dropped Wednesday afternoon [1/11/2023] as MSNBC correspondents Ken Dilanian and Carol Lee reported exclusively that a second batch of confidential documents was found at a location associated with President Biden, possibly at one of his homes in Delaware. But instead of the shrill suggestions of espionage and other forms of impropriety they leveled against former President Trump, the far-left liberal network manned the ramparts and tried to downplay their own reporting. "We got to get some news breaking to us just in the last couple of minutes here at NBC News," host Hallie Jackson announced on her eponymous show. "Aides to President Biden have apparently discovered another set of classified documents. This time in a different location than the office where the first batch was discovered, according to a person familiar with the matter."

Biden aides find second batch of classified documents at new location. Aides to President Joe Biden have discovered at least one additional batch of classified documents in a location separate from the Washington office he used after leaving the Obama administration, according to a person familiar with the matter. Since November, after the discovery of documents with classified markings in his former office, Biden aides have been searching for any additional classified materials that might be in other locations he used, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide details about the ongoing inquiry.

House Oversight Panel Calls on Twitter Officials to Testify on Censorship of Hunter Biden Laptop Story. The House Oversight Committee has asked former Twitter executives to testify at a hearing next month on the platform's censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story in October 2020. At the time, Twitter banned the New York Post's story on the laptop under its "hacked materials" policy. Now, committee chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) has asked former Twitter officials Vijaya Gadde, Yoel Roth and James Baker to testify about the decision. "On December 6, 2022, I wrote to you requesting your appearance at a Committee hearing during the 118th Congress. Your attendance is necessary because of your role in suppressing Americans' access to information about the Biden family on Twitter shortly before the 2020 election," Comer wrote in letters to each of the three former officials on Wednesday.

Biden's Stolen Classified Documents Relate to U.S. Government Activity in Ukraine. In the final days of the Obama and Biden administration, in mid-January of 2017, Joe Biden visited Ukraine and the people in/around the government were perplexed about the actual intent of the visit. Why was it important for Joe Biden to visit Ukraine in the last week of the Obama administration? [Illustrations] Keep in mind that CNN receives information from the State Department. The Dept of State and CNN have a collaborative relationship; so, when CNN receives "exclusive information" from "exclusive sources", and the issues generally pertain to foreign affairs, we can be generally confident the information comes from the State Dept. Apparently, according to CNN sources, the classified documents that Joe Biden took with him from the Obama administration, pertain to U.S. government affairs related to Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom.

More Info on Biden Classified Documents and Who Else Was Connected to the Center. There's more information that has come out on the classified documents in Joe Biden's office at the Penn Biden Center and the bombshell doesn't just potentially touch Joe Biden. [...] How secure was that when it's a public building and if it's in Biden's old office where he hasn't been, presumably in some time? Biden himself just claimed he had no idea they were even there. If we were to believe that, he's admitting that he had no idea what happened to classified documents and how they turned up in his office. What else might he have in all his various homes and offices? Who might have had access to the documents? At least 10 senior Biden administration officials also worked at the Penn Biden Center since Biden opened the think tank in 2018, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl, and White House counselor Steven Richetti.

Biden Center at UPenn Received $54.6M from Anonymous Chinese Donations. At least $54 million has been donated by Chinese Communist Party-linked individuals or entities between 2014 and 2019 to the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington at the University of Pennsylvania, according to public records reported by the New York Post, where it was revealed this week that Biden had stashed a trove of classified documents. The University of Pennsylvania announced it would create the Biden Center in 2017, the same year then-Vice President Biden left the White House. Most of the anonymous donations were given to the Biden Center after the university announced the Penn Biden Center, the Post reported.

$54M in Chinese gifts donated to UPenn, home of Biden Center. A government watchdog is demanding the US attorney probing Hunter Biden in Delaware investigate tens of millions in anonymous donations from China to the University of Pennsylvania, where an academic center is named for his father, President Biden. The Ivy League college raked in a total of $54.6 million from 2014 through June 2019 in donations from China, including $23.1 million in anonymous gifts starting in 2016, according to public records. Most of the anonymous donations came after the university announced in February 2017 that it would create the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. Joe Biden, whose term as vice president had just ended, was to lead the center and was also named a professor at the university. The center, which is located in Washington, DC, opened its doors in February 2018. Antony Blinken, whom Biden named as secretary of state, briefly served as its managing director.

RNC [Releases a] Comprehensive List Of Biden's Whoppers, Fish Stories, And Fibs. The Republican National Committee shared a comprehensive list of President Joe Biden's biggest whoppers on Tuesday, from his repeated claims that he drove an 18-wheeler to his insistence that a 2004 house fire — which was reportedly contained to his kitchen — had very nearly killed his wife and a couple of fire-fighters. The list, which the RNC shared on Tuesday, detailed "21 made-up stories Biden has told about himself as president." First on the list was Biden's claim that he "used to drive" an 18-wheeler. "I used to drive a tractor trailer ... I only did it for part of a summer," Biden said in 2021 — but according to Politifact, there is no evidence he ever did that. He did ride in a tractor-trailer once as a senator, however, and he drove a bus one summer during law school.

White House Hid Biden Classified Docs Scandal Until Well After Midterms. How damaging is the Biden classified documents story, really? Probably more than you think and more than liberals are willing to admit. The left-wing media may be trying to downplay it, but it seems that even the Biden White House realizes this is a politically damaging story. How do we know? Well, it turns out that even though the discovery of the classified documents in Biden's office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., was first reported on Monday, according to a report from the New York Times, "The documents found in Mr. Biden's former office, which date to his time as vice president, were found by his personal lawyers on Nov. 2, when they were packing files at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, according to the White House."

The Editor says...
How many other places does Biden have files stored (or hidden)?

Biden just put Obama in a delightfully serious bind. The headline is delicious: Vice President Biden left the White House taking classified documents with him. However, what's really lovely is the problem this creates for Obama: After all, he's the only one who can rescue Biden but, by doing so, he will completely exonerate Trump of the charges that the latter violated national security laws by taking documents with him when he left the White House. Both Rajan Laad and Howard J. Warner have ably covered the factual issues surrounding the news that Biden took classified documents with him when he left the Vice President's office. They addressed how the Washington establishment had the story before the midterms but covered it up; how that same establishment (including the media) that castigated Trump as a traitor and arch-criminal for allegedly having classified material in his possession is now racing to make excuses for Biden; and how it's possible that China had access to the materials because it has access to the University of Pennsylvania Biden "think tank" in which the documents resided for so many years. What I find so delectable is that Biden has only one defense to the charge that he stole classified documents from the White House, which is a felony (as Democrats never failed to remind us when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago). That defense is that Obama, who was president when Biden took the documents, gave him permission to take them, effectively declassifying them.

Four Questions About Biden's Classified Materials Scandal. As we've all learned this week, multiple news reports allege that President Biden's personal attorneys discovered Obama administration-era classified materials among his belongings at a private office, where they undoubtedly do not belong. The items were handed over to the National Archives shortly after they were allegedly uncovered in a closet during the process of packing up the space. Biden's Attorney General has referred the matter to the US Attorney in Chicago for additional scrutiny, as this episode very much appears to involve improper handling of classified information and potential unlawful conduct. "The review is considered a preliminary step, and the attorney general will determine whether further investigation is necessary, including potentially appointing a special counsel," CBS News reports. "The Presidential Records Act requires all presidential and vice-presidential documents be turned over to the National Archives. There are special protocols to keep classified information secure." Clearly, those requirements were not followed, and those protocols were not in place, on these documents.

Democrat Senate Intel Chief Demands Briefing on Joe Biden's Stashed Classified Docs. Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), the chair of the Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence, demanded a briefing from President Joe Biden's Justice Department on Tuesday about the stash of classified documents at UPenn reportedly related to Ukraine and Iran and dated between 2013 and 2016. Warner stated he wanted a briefing on Biden's mishandling of classified documents related to congressional oversight powers. The requested briefing flies in the face of the media's decision to downplay the national security breach.

Lobbyists for China's TikTok Have Repeatedly Visited the Biden White House. Lobbyists for the China-owned app TikTok and its parent company ByteDance have repeatedly landed visits with President Joe Biden's White House, according to recently revealed records. TikTok and ByteDance lobbyists have visited the Biden White House at least eight times between July 2021 and August 2022, according to White House visitor records obtained by the Washington Examiner. While it remains unclear what the lobbyists discussed at the White House, their visits are "unequivocally" worrisome, says Heritage Foundation's director of Tech Policy Center, Kara Frederick. "These people are doing the dirty work of the Chinese party state," Frederick told the Examiner. "I don't think we should mince words when it comes to that. They know what they're doing."

Biden confuses a uniformed member of the Salvation Army for the Secret Service [at the] El Paso migrant center. Joe Biden was caught on camera making yet another blunder this weekend when he appeared to mistake a member of the Salvation Army for a secret service agent. The gaffe occurred in El Paso, Texas, on Sunday, during a visit to the Mexican border ahead of this week's 'Three Amigos' summit between the US, Canadian and Mexican leaders. After speaking to Border Patrol officers and taking a walk along the wall separating the two countries the President was led to a migrants center and was introduced to a member of the Salvation Army wearing a uniform.

The Editor says...
To be fair, it could very well be true that some of the Secret Service people were dressed up like the Salvation Army.

Vice President Joe Biden Took Classified Documents from White House to Private Office Storage in Washington DC. According to multiple media reports, it was discovered a week prior to the midterm election that Joe Biden had removed classified documents from his term as Vice-President to a private office in the Penn Biden Center. The nature of the classified documents is unknown. The notification from Biden lawyers to the DOJ, presumably on November 2nd, 2022, was kept under wraps until today when CBS first broke the news. It should be noted that as vice-president Joe Biden held no declassification authority, so removal of the classified material is a much larger breech than the claimed comparison to President Trump declassifying documents and taking them to Mar-a-Lago.

CNN Analyst Says Biden News Makes It 'Almost Impossible' To Charge Trump Over Mar-a-Lago Raid. CNN's Poppy Harlow let out a stunned "Really?!" when analyst John Miller said President Joe Biden's self-reported and immediately-returned classified documents make it "almost impossible" to charge President Donald Trump over his handling of classified docs. News broke Monday [1/9/2023] that President Biden's lawyers discovered a small number of documents — from his time as VP — bearing classified marking while clearing out a private office last fall and immediately reported and returned the documents to the federal government. The Biden matter has drawn direct comparisons — particularly among conservatives — with the investigation that exploded onto the national radar with the raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort home.

The Talking Points Go out on Biden's Classified Documents, but an Old Clip Proves Inconvenient. On Monday evening, news dropped that Joe Biden had illegally possessed classified documents he took following his vice presidency. They were stored in a closet at the Penn Biden Center (which opened in 2018) and were supposedly discovered by lawyers prior to the 2022 election. They were then reported after all the votes were cast. I'm sure that timing was purely coincidental, though. The comparisons to Donald Trump having allegedly classified documents at Mar-a-Lago began immediately, and rightfully so. It seemed to be another case of our two-tiered justice system rearing its head, where Democrats can hold onto classified information without consequence while Republicans face the full force of the law.

Flashback: Joe Biden Slammed Donald Trump as 'Irresponsible' for Keeping Documents at Mar-a-Lago. President Joe Biden slammed former President Donald Trump in September on 60 Minutes as "irresponsible" for allegedly keeping classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. "How could that possibly happen?" Biden responded in the interview about Trump's documents at Mar-a-Lago.&n bsp;"How anyone could be that irresponsible?" [...] Biden's statement came four months before CBS News reported Monday that a Biden think tank had been storing ten classified documents at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington.

Classified Documents Found In Joe Biden's Old Office, DOJ Investigating. Well, this is certainly an interesting turn of events. According to CBS News, 10 classified documents were located at Joe Biden's vice-presidential office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington. The documents were discovered by Biden's attorneys, who were reportedly packing up Biden's stuff to vacate the office. Attorney General Merrick Garland has assigned a US attorney to review what was found.

DOJ Investigating Classified Documents Biden Kept After Leaving VP Office. When former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate was raided by the FBI last year and government documents marked as sensitive were found by agents, President Joe Biden called his predecessor "irresponsible" and fretted about "what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods?" Well, as it turns out, Biden is not the best person to cast aspersions on Trump for having classified and top secret documents in a private setting as new reporting suggests Biden took similar action after leaving office as vice president in the Obama administration. This revelation comes courtesy of reporting from CBS News and CNN, which said Monday evening that "several classified documents from President Joe Biden's time as vice president were discovered last fall in a private office" according to "a source with knowledge of the matter."

Incoming Oversight chair stresses that committee is investigating Joe Biden NOT Hunter Biden. As Democrats and their corporate media allies have been gearing up for the inevitable defense of President Joe Biden's son Hunter during the new Congress, incoming House Oversight Committee chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY) made one point abundantly clear, Sunday [1/8/2023], "We're not investigating Hunter Biden. We're investigating Joe Biden."

Biden slammed for comparing illegal aliens to Jews fleeing Nazis. Critics took aim at President Biden for comparing asylum-seeking immigrants to Jews fleeing Nazi Germany during the Holocaust. "What a disgusting and awful statement from this ignoramus, and the corrupt media are silent," conservative commentator Mark Levin said on Twitter Friday in reaction to Biden's remarks. Biden's comments came in response to a reporter Thursday, who asked the president whether he believed migration is a human right. "Well, I think it is a human right if your family is being persecuted," Biden responded. "I thought it was a human right for, you know, Jews in Germany to be able to go — to get to escape and get help where they could." But some were quick to point out that many seeking asylum or illegally crossing the border are not innocent victims.

Biden Praises Border Czar Kamala Harris in Dishonest and Gaffe-Laden Speech on the Border Crisis. Joe Biden's daytime speech announcing the regime's purported efforts to clamp down on illegal immigration was roundly ridiculed on social media Thursday as numerous gaffes and prevarications were made public. There were nearly 2.4 million migrant arrests at the nation's southwestern border in the 2022 fiscal year, the highest number ever recorded, according to U.S. Border Patrol data released in September, bringing the total to approximately 5.3 million illegal border crossings since Biden took office. Amid increasing pressure from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to address the border crisis, Biden tried to strike a tough on immigration pose, and insisted that his administration's policies were successfully securing the border. He also attempted to blame Republicans for the border crisis, which he delicately referred to as "the situation on the southwest border."

Joe Biden Tells an Unbelievable Lie Amid Senility-Filled January 6th Speech. Did you know it's January 6th? No, I don't mean the date itself. I'd suspect most people know how to use a calendar, but did you remember that today is a day of remembrance supposedly on par with 9/11? [Advertisement] Yeah, me neither. As my colleague Susie Moore did, I completely forgot that today was that January 6th, and needless to say, Joe Biden's attempt to remind everyone did not go well. I mean it really, really did not go well. For instance, the president apparently doesn't know "January 6th" occurred on January 6th. Instead, Biden brought up "July 6th," a day that will apparently live in infamy. [Tweet] [...] The stupidity didn't stop there. Biden then repeated an unbelievable lie, and one Democrats have told before. Namely, the accusation that "insurrectionists" on January 6th killed William Evans, a now-deceased USCP officer. [Advertisement] [Tweet] Of course, Evans was not killed by insurrectionists. He also wasn't killed on January 6th. Rather, he was run down several months after the Capitol riot by a Nation of Islam supporter. Still, Biden included him in the supposed January 6th death toll.

Biden Bungles Jan. 6 Speech: "What Happened on July 6th Had International Repercussions Beyond What I Think Any of You Can Fully Understand". Joe Biden on Friday marked the two-year anniversary of January 6 by granting the Presidential Citizens Medal to 12 law enforcement officers. January 6 is a sacred day for the Democrat-media complex. It's their Super Bowl. Many on the left absurdly claim January 6 was worse than 9/11.

Liberal Think Tank Behind Hunter Biden Story Cover-Up Collusion Recruited Arizona Government Workers. A prominent liberal think tank that helped suppress media coverage of Hunter Biden's corrupt foreign business dealings recruited Arizonan government workers and activist leaders for its leadership program. The Aspen Institute, a prominent liberal think tank, runs 65 programs nationwide to shape communities to its standards: such as the leadership program in Arizona. An independent reporter uncovered this week how one of the institute's arms, Aspen Digital, coordinated a "tabletop exercise" with social media companies, media outlets, and academia to ensure effective cover-up of the Hunter Biden laptop story released by the New York Post a month later. Twitter's newest CEO, Elon Musk, uncovered this collusion with the release of internal Twitter communications and documents dubbed the "Twitter Files." [Tweets]

Biden to present Presidential Citizens Medal to election workers, officials in GA, AZ, MI, among others. Joe Biden will commemorate the events of January 6 on the second anniversary of that day on Friday, because, of course, he will. [...] Hmm. Presidential awards are going to people in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona from Biden as he prepares to declare himself a candidate for re-election. Those are some important states in presidential elections in recent cycles. There are no coincidences in politics. Biden wants to keep events like January 6 front and center. He intends to hammer Republicans about that day, painting with broad strokes all Republican-leaning voters with one brush. The January 6 committee essentially wasted a lot of time and taxpayer money with little to show for it. There were some bold headlines from former Trump staffers and the committee hauling in some of Trump's inner circle to testify, but not much else. Most voters didn't pay attention after the first televised hearing. It quickly became clear that it was all about Democrats trying to ding up Trump enough so that he didn't run for re-election. That didn't work. He's already declared his candidacy.

Trump Hatred Is Not Cheap. We have a close family friend who voted for Joe Biden. [...] We'll call her Pat. She voted for gropey Joe even though she disagrees with almost all the radicalism that he and the Democrats are pushing. Her reasoning is quite simple. She refused to vote for Donald Trump because he is too personally offensive to her. [...] It didn't take long to realize that the Trump alternative — Joe Biden — came with some hidden costs of his own, that Pat didn't know about. Now that we're two years into his presidency, we can actually quantify some of those costs. Immediately upon assuming office Joe got with his pals in Congress and went on a spending binge. We shouldn't be surprised. That's what socialists do — spend other people's money. Joe, San Fran Nan, and little Chucky Schumer had a grand time, spending almost five trillion bucks and driving the national debt up another three trillion dollars. But Joe never considered the post-party hangover — a 40-year high inflation level. That ear-popping inflation isn't going down either, unless there are some serious changes in fiscal behavior. With the recently passed omnibus spending bill, there's no indication that anybody, in either party, intends to change behavior. The Congressional Joint Economic Committee has found that inflation alone is costing American families an addition $635 per month. That's the equivalent of a nice car payment to fund Joe's big spending, energy choking, regulation expanding, experiment with banana republicism.

Has the American Experiment Failed? In 2018, Joe Biden bragged about a quid-pro-quo deal in 2014 in which he threatened to pull aid from Ukraine if a certain anti-corruption prosecutor wasn't fired. At the time, the prosecutor was investigating the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, which was paying upwards of $50,000 a month to Biden's crack-addict son, Hunter, who had no previous experience in the energy sector. Fast forward to December, 2022, when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky unfurled a Ukrainian flag in a joint session of Congress and Vice President Kamala Harris and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi raised it up, obscuring the American flag behind it. Shortly after that, Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said, "Providing assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians is the number one priority for the United States right now according to most Republicans." At a time when the United States is heading into a recession with decades-high inflation and crippling debt, a lame-duck Congress with a near record low approval rating decided to put the country $46 billion further in debt to prop up the Ukrainian ~~money laundromat~~ government and threaten a hot war with nuclear superpower Russia.

Amateur artist Hunter Biden paints himself into a corner. Wannabe artist Hunter Biden has continued to brush aside awkward questions about who exactly is ponying up $500,000 for his novice paintings — especially as his dubious business dealings with foreign adversaries keep coming back to haunt him. But that could change in a stroke thanks to the First Son's brazen bid to pay less child support for his four-year-old lovechild, Navy Joan Roberts, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. Hunter, 52, has asked an Arkansas judge to recalculate the money he hands Navy Joan's mom, Lunden Roberts, each month, citing a 'substantial material change' in his personal finances.

[The] First Catholic President in 60 Years [has been] Told Not Attend [the] Late Pope's Funeral. Is This Why? President Joe Biden, the first Catholic Commander in Chief in some six decades who proclaims himself to be a "devout" follower of the church's teachings, won't be attending the funeral of Pope Benedict XVI following his passing last week. If it seems strange that such a close follower of the Catholic Church would not attend the final goodbye to the previous Holy Father — not to mention passing on a chance to get out of D.C. for a few days as he seemingly does whenever possible — it's because it wasn't Biden's choice. At least not completely. When asked the obvious question of whether "devout Catholic" Biden would attend the funeral for the former leader of his church, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spilled the beans. In Tuesday's briefing, Jean-Pierre said that — instead of the president — the United States will be represented at Pope Benedict XVI's funeral by America's Ambassador to the Holy See, Joe Donnelly. Jean-Pierre explained that the decision for Biden to skip out on the farewell was made "in line with the wishes of the late Pope and the Vatican" because "their wishes" were for Biden not to attend. Well isn't that something. Biden, not just the chief executive of the United States but also someone who frequently invokes his Catholic faith in his political speeches, is not welcome in the Vatican for the late Pope's funeral. A bit strange.

Justice Department is concealing 400 pages of 'sensitive documents' laying bare payoffs and gifts to Hunter and Jim Biden from China, Russia and Ukraine. The Department of Justice is trying to prevent disclosure of 400 pages of sensitive documents on Hunter and Jim Biden's dealings with China, Russia and Ukraine — by pretending they don't exist. Colorado lawyer Kevin Evans sued the department in March after it failed to comply with his request for records on the Bidens' dealings under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Evans, a FOIA expert, asked for documents pertaining to 'any relationship, communication, gift(s), and/or remuneration in any form' between the president's son Hunter or brother Jim, and China, Russia or Ukraine.

10 Scandals To Keep Your Eye On In 2023. [#3] The Biden Laundromat: Since at least 2020, Hunter Biden has been under investigation by federal prosecutors. Many expected charges to come last year, when in March of 2022, The New York Times — one of the go-to media outlets for Democrats to prime with inside information to blunt the effects of soon-to-be-released negative news — reported based on unnamed sources that David C. Weiss, the U.S. attorney for Delaware overseeing the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, had a grand jury conducting "a wide-ranging examination" of Hunter "Biden's international business dealings, with prosecutors considering charges for tax fraud, criminal foreign lobbying, and money laundering." If Weiss intends to indict, 2023 will be the year to move because after that the country returns to campaign mode and it seems unlikely the DOJ would [announce] an indictment of the president's son during an election year.

Justice Department is concealing 400 pages of 'sensitive documents' laying bare payoffs and gifts to Hunter and Jim Biden from China, Russia and Ukraine — lawyer claims in suit. The Department of Justice is trying to prevent disclosure of 400 pages of sensitive documents on Hunter and Jim Biden's dealings with China, Russia and Ukraine — by pretending they don't exist.

Jill Biden's New Year's Message Is Everything Wrong With the Biden Administration. I've got good news and bad news. The good news? 2022 is over with and in the books. The bad news? 2023 is here and promises to be just as ridiculous. Jill Biden provided proof of that during a joint appearance with her husband on New Year's Eve. Sitting beside an obviously confused Joe Biden, whose eyes have shrunk to the size of marbles over the last couple of years, she used her time on the national stage to once again promote the COVID-19 vaccines. Again, this was on December 31st in the year of Our Lord, 2022. [Tweet] It's just mind-numbing that we are still doing this knowing what we now know. How many booster regimes have been circulated at this point that have failed to stamp out the pandemic? And how much of the nation has already been vaccinated at some level anyway? Yet, with just hours left in 2022, here's Jill Biden talking like it's the Fall of 2021, refusing to give us a break, even on a holiday, from the onslaught of propaganda. What kind of uplifting message for the new year is it to once again hijack audiences with demands to go get vaccinated for COVID-19? [Indeed], why mention the pandemic at all?

Attorney: Biden's DOJ Is Hiding Hundreds of Hunter Biden and James Biden's Records on China Gifts. Colorado Attorney Kevin Evans says the Biden Department of Justice is hiding hundreds of documents on gifts Joe and Hunter Biden received from China. Evans sued the DOJ in March after he said the agency failed to comply with his Freedom of Information Act request for records about the overseas business relationships of Joe Biden's son and brother James Biden. The Gateway Pundit reported on the giant diamond gifted to Hunter Biden from Ye Jianming, then the chairman of CEFC China Energy Company. The Gateway Pundit reported in October 2020 that this diamond was estimated to be worth $80,000. Hunter claimed it was worth $10,000.

Biden Spent Nearly 40% Of 2022 In Delaware, Camp David, Or On Vacation. President Joe Biden spent nearly 40% of 2022 in Delaware, Camp David and vacation destinations. A Daily Caller analysis of Biden's 2022 public schedule shows that the president spent 92 days or partial days at one of his Delaware properties, and 32 days or partial days at Camp David. Biden also vacationed seven days in South Carolina, five days in Nantucket, and five days in the U.S. Virgin Islands, bringing his total getaway days to a total of 141, or 38.6% of his first full calendar year.

The Editor says...
"In Delaware, [at] Camp David, or on vacation" are three ways to say the same thing. Joe Biden is the laziest U.S. president since . . . the last Democrat president!

The Democrats are desperate to make Biden appear younger. In the December 1921 issue of Printer's Ink, Frederick R. Barnard published a piece titled "One Look is Worth a Thousand Words." His article focused on how an image is often more effective than writing thousands of words on the same topic. From that article came the well-known saying that "a picture is worth a thousand words." The phrase came to mind on December 17, when Democrat strategist Chris D. Jackson tweeted a photo of a "youthful looking" Joe Biden leaving the White House with his grandson Beau and First Nurse Jill. As many pointed out, the since-deleted image of Joe appears to have been photoshopped to make the elderly 80-year-old look like a younger, healthier man in his 60s. [...] Democrats are worried that if Joe "Big Guy" Biden runs for re-election in 2024, his age, frailty, and dementia-like comments will be a constant focus. From past to current dictators, there never were or will be published photos that show them in a bad light.

We Must Convince People That The Fascist Far Left Wants To Destroy The US. Ruling class leftists have been doing things that don't make any sense unless they are examined in the context of the overall picture. Actions that look like complete incompetence in isolation form a pattern of terrifying malfeasance when taken together. If you've been paying attention to the news from a balanced set of sources (something few leftists do), you've been absolutely horrified by recent events. From the major stories to the minor, they have disastrous consequences. Biden canceled pipeline construction and drilling leases, forcing us to be dependent on our enemies for energy. He depleted the Strategic Petroleum Reserve that was meant for wartime emergencies, and he used its effect on fuel prices to hide his malfeasance for the midterms. But don't worry when prices rise again. That should only matter if you need anything that depends on oil and gas to get to market, like food, medical, or consumer products. Biden showed profound weakness to our enemies in Asia with the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. The good news is that we've supplied them with plenty of examples of our latest weaponry and, if they can't get them there, they can probably pick them up for a song in Ukraine or the African black market.

The Press Finally Realizes the Bidens Are Pretty Terrible. Wonders never cease. It seems that the press has finally decided to acknowledge that Joe Biden has disowned his grandchild. As RedState reported earlier on Friday, the child in question was fathered by Hunter Biden and has been at the center of a long legal battle over child support. Specifically, the president's son doesn't want to pay it and has done everything he can to avoid his paternal responsibilities. According to The Daily Beast, the Biden family "seemingly wants nothing to do with the child," who was not even allowed to be at the inauguration. For all the talk about "decency" regarding Joe Biden, he sure seems to be a pretty indecent guy, doesn't he? What kind of person disowns their own granddaughter, especially when it was Biden's own son that has been such a degenerate? And to be sure, this isn't just a matter of custody. According to past reports, Jill Biden didn't even put up a stocking for their grandchild this past Christmas (or the one before that).

It's good to be Joe Biden: Vacation edition. It is a point of fact that Regular Joe has spent [very] near 40% of his time since assuming the presidency on vacation. As in out of the White House, gone vacation. His favorite spot to skulk out to for weekends — which unlike yours or mine often start on a Thursday — is to head back to his home state of Delaware and the little family cottage by the shore. Naturally, you wouldn't expect him to spend time trapped in traffic on the Beltway. So he flies.

George Santos takes the cake, but why does Joe Biden get a pass for his lies? It must be admitted that Santos is emerging as the undisputed top of his class of fibsters. To date he claims to have attended a prestigious Bronx prep school which has no record of him ever being there. He claims to have graduated from Baruch College, despite never having enrolled there. He claims to have worked for Citigroup and Goldman Sachs but never did. When confronted with the fact that he'd never worked for either company he blamed a "poor choice of words." [...] Of course he's not the only one who does this. Our very own President is a master of the career-embellishing lie. [...] Way back in 1987 Biden could be found on the campaign trail claiming that he had attended law school on a full academic scholarship, been the outstanding student in the political science department and graduated with not one, not two, but three undergraduate degrees from Delaware. Turned out he'd been at the bottom of the class and scraped a single degree. Back then it was thought that Biden's lies about his own career would destroy his future political prospects. So much for that.

Here Comes the Biden Family Syndicate Bank Account Deposits — Zelenskyy Announces Blackrock Will Help Rebuild Ukraine. BlackRock, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries) is a massive publicly traded multinational investment firm with over $8.68 trillion in assets under management in more than 100 countries across the globe. To say that Blackrock is invested in globalism, climate change and leftist politics, would be a severe understatement. Larry Fink is the CEO and people like Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton's attorney of record, are on the board. The Chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute, the guy who tells the $8.7 trillion investment firm BlackRock where to put their money, is Tom Donilon; President Obama's former National Security Advisor (before Susan Rice), and a key advisor to Joe Biden throughout his career in politics; who was also recently put in charge of U.S-China policy by the State Dept.

Mother of Hunter Biden's Daughter Seeks Court Approval to Change Child's Name to Biden. A child fathered by Hunter Biden may have her last name changed to Biden if a court appeal filed Tuesday by the girl's Arkansas mother succeeds. The motion, filed by the attorney for former stripper Lunden Alexis Roberts, was made in the 16th Circuit Court in Independence County in the paternity case against Hunter Biden, the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette reports. The outlet records the name change submission was one of four filings made in the case originally settled back in March, 2020.

Biden Shows He's Completely Clueless With Title 42 Remarks, as He Jets Off on Yet Another Vacation. As we reported earlier, the Supreme Court dealt a blow to Joe Biden's effort to get rid of Title 42. The Court ruled in favor of 19 Republican attorneys general and against the Biden administration, to keep Title 42 temporarily to be able to expel asylum seekers based on the COVID health emergency. It also set oral arguments in the case for February and they anticipate making a final decision on the matter in June. Many people on the right were relieved that that would put on hold an even greater influx of illegal aliens into the country, although they thought that the Biden administration should be dealing with the problem and enforcing the laws already on the books to stop the flood.

Joe Biden's Top 15 Most Outlandish Lies. President Joe Biden has lied a lot before and during his presidency. Here are the top 15 most outlandish lies from his career. [#1] Biden claimed in 1987 he graduated in the top half of his class at Syracuse College of Law. He was 76th in a class of 85.

Biden Vacations In [the] Virgin Islands After Saying There Are 'More Important Things' Than Visiting [the] Border. President Joe Biden will travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands on Tuesday for vacation, after telling reporters he has "more important" things to do than visit the southern border. "The President and the First Lady will travel to St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands where they will celebrate the New Year with their family," the White House readout read. Biden has spent more than a quarter of his presidency away from the White House vacationing in Delaware, CNN reported in October. The president also told reporters on Dec. 6 that he would not be visiting the border while in Arizona "because there are more important things going on."

This is why Joe Biden won't go to the border. As I described last week, the crisis at the border is about to get dramatically worse. There are tens of thousands of people waiting in camps on the Mexican side of the border for the end of Title 42. Whenever that happens, estimates suggest there could be 12,000 to 14,000 arrivals at the border per day. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has no coherent plan to deal with it. Through all of this, Joe Biden has remained consistently on the sidelines. His refusal to go to the border to see the crisis he helped create up close has become a point of perverse pride. And the media, naturally, has sided with Biden.

Biden's Use of the Eichmann Defense. In the 2012 vice-presidential debates, Biden avowed that "My religion defines who I am." "I've been a practicing Catholic my whole life," and "With regard to abortion, I accept my church's position on abortion as what we call de fide doctrine. Life begins at conception." [... But] There's no way that Biden could have obtained the gratifying pleasures of power and prestige of the presidency without first receiving his party's nomination. And to receive that nomination he had to claim that he believed that the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision was a government mandate that guaranteed the unrestricted right to abort unwanted children. Anyone familiar with Biden's actions as president will agree he has been staunchly obedient to his perceived government mandate. He and many of his fellow Democratic politicians have asserted that a woman's right to abortion extends for the entire nine months of pregnancy. Because of such extreme pro-choice actions, reputable organizations — such as the Family Research Council — have accurately labeled Biden as the most pro-abortion president in history.

Did the Twitter Files Just Reveal an Impeachable Offense for Biden? The latest installment of the Twitter Files dropped on Monday afternoon [12/26/2022], this time showing how the federal government pressured the social media platform to censor information that was contradictory to the government narrative on COVID-19. The new files show top doctors from the best medical schools in the country were censored. [Tweets] But the government pressure on Twitter goes beyond attempting to push a single narrative. It's a blatant violation of the First Amendment. [More tweets] More specifically, President Joe Biden was "angry" Twitter wasn't doing more to crack down on speech that was critical of his office and policies. [Still more tweets] Biden's directive to quash free speech critical of his policies is sparking calls for impeachment. [Even more tweets]

Border Crisis, Severe Weather, Inflation: Biden's Off on Yet Another Vacation. Does Joe Biden ever work? It seems like he's always off on vacation. I think the last time we checked, he'd already taken more vacation than any of his recent predecessors at this point in his term in office. He'd spent about 40 percent of his time in office on vacation, we noted in November. That was even before his Thanksgiving vacation. At this point, the question isn't when he's on vacation, it's when he isn't on vacation. Yet, when he's presented with the massive crisis at the border and whether he will ever be visiting the border, he responds that he doesn't have time, he's just so busy, there are "more important things going on."

What Will the FBI Not Do? During the 2020 election, the FBI suppressed knowledge of its possession of Hunter Biden's laptop. Early on, the bureau knew that the computer and its contents were authentic and yet kept its contents suppressed. Moreover, the FBI sought to contract out Twitter (at roughly $3.5 million) as a veritable subsidiarity to suppress social media traffic about the laptop and speech the bureau deemed improper. Again, although the FBI knew the laptop in its possession was likely genuine, it still sought to use Twitter employees to suppress pre-election mention of that reality. At the same time, bureau officials remained mum when 51 former "intelligence officials" misled the country by claiming that the laptop had all the hallmarks of "Russian disinformation." Polls later revealed that had the public known the truth about the laptop, a significant number likely would have voted differently — perhaps enough to change the outcome of the election. The media, Twitter, Facebook, and former intelligence operatives were all following the FBI's own preliminary warning bulletin that "Foreign Actors and Cybercriminals Likely to Spread Disinformation Regarding 2020 Election Results" — even as the bureau knew the laptop in its possession was most certainly not Russian disinformation. And, of course, the FBI had helped spread the Russian collusion hoax in 2016.

Don't Buy What Democrats Are Selling as Reality. Under their new pseudo-reality, the Democrats would have us believe that President Biden is fit for service, while anyone using the simple powers of observation will see a senile old man in the throes of dementia, who, instead of leading, is himself being led by Democrat handlers around him. He is the victim of elder abuse by those Democrats who have allowed him to hold a position in which he is totally incapable of serving. President Biden would need only to take a public mental acuity test if he wished to prove his mental fitness and reveal his true cognitive status. [...] Under their new pseudo-reality, the Democrats would have us believe that they stand for truth when in fact many are proven liars. Their 46th U.S. president is chief among them. He has a lifelong habit of bloviating falsehoods about his personal achievements and education. He tells us his son Hunter and he himself have done nothing wrong when there is Hunter's abandoned laptop chock-full of factual and incriminating evidence that proves Biden's statement false.

A Vapid Biden Christmas? Nothing is special about Christmas at the White House this year. In fact, not all the Bidens are represented in their Christmas decorations as the family continually ignores one of their grandchildren — Navy Jones Roberts. There is more of a representation to dogs and cats than bloodline this year. This is not a family who cares about family. Even mafias treat their own better. When Jill Biden gave her overview of the White House Christmas decor, there was nothing special about it. It was all secular praise. Except for the end of her speech when she (finally!) mentioned God's blessings as if an afterthought, her speech only recognized the temporal. At least there are no decorations of Chinese communist despots, as there were during the Obama Administration. With Biden, we have to lower our expectations. Biden's Christmas message was full of ... nothing.

How the FBI Used Twitter to Lie to You. The FBI we know is a creation of Hollywood. From the beginning, J. Edgar Hoover sought to insert the bureau into movies and TV shows, to portray the agency as grounded in American values, and special agents as righteous competence personified. [...] This image of the FBI fails to highlight an important fact. The FBI is allowed to lie to you. They can lie to acquire information or encourage a confession. Unlike entertainment, agents don't need a story to fill a certain screen time, or number of theater seats. They just need to convince a very small audience just dumb enough to reveal something incriminating to their new friends. The Bureau had Hunter Biden's laptop by December 2019, before Joe Biden was the Democrat candidate. Although Biden was such a ghost candidate that all his campaign events combined wouldn't have filled a stadium washroom, trained, experienced FBI employees were desperate for the opposing candidate to lose, just as they'd opposed Candidate Trump in 2016.

A Biden and Bankman-Fried connection emerging? Thomas Lifson and other observers have noticed the strange kid-glove treatment that accused crypto-fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried has been getting since his arrest in the Bahamas after reportedly misappropriating and losing billions in customer funds. It was natural to note the huge campaign funding Bankman-Fried delivered, particularly to Democrats, at least $40 million, making him their second-largest donor. [...] If Biden or his surrogates were talking to this guy, then it merits a congressional investigation as soon as the House changes hands. The public has a right to know why this enterprise was shielded from regulation, saw its founder given the kid-glove treatment upon his arrest, and somehow managed to rip off billions undetected, with the only thing he needed to do was throw money at Democrats. Note that most Democrats have yet to return their funds from his bad operation, and arguably won elections based on the stolen cash.

Legal Experts Estimate Hunter Biden's Legal Defense Costs $100K a Month. Hunter Biden's legal defense against both the Justice Department and congressional probes could cost more than $100,000 per month, legal experts told Breitbart News, as the scandal-scarred first son faces mounting scrutiny for his mysterious business practices. According to Hunter's previous statements, he is not cash-rich. Hunter was nearly penniless while Joe Biden was vice president, living paycheck to paycheck after out-of-control spending, according to Hunter's ex-wife. From 2018-2019, Joe Biden even committed to wiring Hunter $100,000.

Joe Biden Delivers Christmas Address Without Saying the Word 'Jesus'. "How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given," Biden began, as he delivered his address to reporters at the White House. The president spoke about a "child" born on Christmas but did not speak the child's name. "We look to the sky to a lone star, shining brighter than all the rest guiding us to the birth of a child, a child that Christians believe to be the Son of God," he said. Biden also spoke several times about the "light" and "peace" at the heart of Christmas.

Hunter Biden hires top DC lawyer to help navigate looming House Republican investigations: Report. Hunter Biden has hired a top Washington, DC lawyer with a litany of powerful former clients to represent him for investigations being threatened by House Republicans once they take back the majority on January 3. Abbe Lowell, of the international law firm Winston and Strawn, has recently joined Biden's legal team, according to NBC News. President Joe Biden's only surviving son joins a client list that includes former President Bill Clinton and ex-President Donald Trump's son-in-law and former White House advisor Jared Kushner.

Why Did the FBI Want Joe Biden to Become President? Just imagine for a moment that Donald Trump, Jr. (or Eric) sat on the board of directors for a foreign company and "earned" millions of dollars for literally doing nothing. He didn't know the industry and didn't speak the language. The only thing Junior brought to the table was his last name. [...] The media coverage would be nonstop. After years of witch hunts, they would finally have legitimate criminal behavior to investigate. The thousands of hours of airtime devoted to fake scandals would finally have paid off. But change the name from Donald Trump, Jr. to Hunter Biden and the political party that stands to suffer from the revelations from Republican to Democrat, and the media becomes curiously uninterested in doing their job, which is to report the truth: That Hunter Biden is the bagman for the Biden family crime syndicate. The latest Twitter Files information drop proves it. Not only has Hunter's corrupt and criminal business deals been exposed, the extraordinary lengths to which the FBI acted to suppress a true story have been exposed, too.

Our President, the Pathological Liar. The sad reality is that the President of the United States, Joe Biden, is a pathological liar. This is not a new personality trait for our Commander-in-Chief, but a characteristic that has been apparent throughout his 52-year political career. Biden has been telling lies, including massive untruths, for decades. It is a major reason he had to exit the 1988 presidential campaign. He lied about his law school grades and plagiarized speeches from United Kingdom Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock. Regularly, Biden lies about his childhood, his family, his academic career, and his record as a politician. Does anyone really believe that, as a young lifeguard, he faced off with a "bad dude" named "Corn Pop" who had a "bunch of bad boys" armed with "straight razors?"

FBI suppressed Hunter laptop story without any evidence of "disinformation" — before publication. If Michael Shellenberger's latest tranche from the Twitter Files gets corroborated, the FBI didn't just target speech on social-media platforms in a presidential election. The files released today suggests that the FBI acted to preemptively suppress an accurate news report even before it got published — with no actual evidence that it was part of an intelligence operation. [Tweets] Before we go much further, let's ask ourselves this question: what [...] is the FBI doing in these transactions at all? They do have authority over domestic counter-intelligence, but that doesn't give them carte blanche to surveil domestic communications, let alone control them.

'Deep dive' into Biden laptop reveals 459 illegal acts. A former aide to Trump adviser Peter Navarro has taken a "deep dive" into the laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden, finding at least 459 illegal acts, including seven felonies by Joe Biden, after reading "every single email, every single text message." Garrett Ziegler, in a webinar Thursday hosted by the non-partisan group Committee on the Present Danger: China, said the Biden family, including the president of the United States, is not merely compromised by money it has received through business deals with members of China's Communist Party intelligence services. The evidence shows the Bidens are under the control of America's No. 1 enemy, he said. Ziegler has compiled the evidence — including a 644-page report he says is analogous to the Mueller special counsel report — on a website called Marco Polo.

Dare call it treason. According to retired U.S. spy and lifelong patriot, "Sam" Faddis, Joe Biden is a "controlled asset" of Chinese intelligence. According to his son Hunter's laptop, there's plenty of evidence that's true. That evidence was the subject of a blockbuster Committee on the Present Danger: China webinar yesterday that confirmed the following: Hunter and Joe have long done business with Chinese Communist Party influence operations — and Hunter, at least, still is. The laptop indicates that Joe is implicated in seven felonies. And America's frontline counterintelligence agency, the FBI, concealed, and thereby enabled, the greatest counterintelligence crisis in our history — the election of a president controlled by our most dangerous enemy. Joe's latest service to Communist China? An obscure federal agency known as the PCAOB cleared the way yesterday for American investors to continue underwriting the CCP threat. That's insane — and treasonous.

Is This Joe Biden? There Are So Many Things Wrong With This Photo. [Scroll down] This is Joe Biden but the photo is heavily photoshopped. I have to admit this is a pretty low res image, but it looks like they took the smoothing so far they pretty much blended his 4th and 5th fingers together. The White House may be tried to portray Joe Biden as a younger man but they did it in the most amateur way possible!

Biden Says He Awarded [His] Uncle A Purple Heart — But His Story Isn't Possible. President Joe Biden appeared to make a major gaffe Friday when he claimed that after being elected vice president in 2008, he awarded his uncle, Frank Biden, a Purple Heart for his service in World War II, but there are some major holes in his story — primarily the fact his uncle died almost a decade before the 2008 election.

Biden Is Poised To Block Evidence Of His Own Role In His Son's Influence Peddling Schemes. The National Archives is aiming to release hundreds of pages of emails about Hunter Biden and Burisma collected during Joe Biden's years as Vice President in the Obama Administration. But now that the elder Biden is president, he is angling to block any of the records that might confirm his son's suspected corruption and expose the father's complicity. In a story first reported by Business Insider, the White House is refusing to say whether it will stop the release. The irony and hypocrisy should be lost on no one. Biden weaponized his Department of Justice to go after Trump documents under the Presidential Records Act and scoffed at his predecessor's assertion of executive privilege. Now, Biden is reportedly considering the use of executive privilege and the same Records Act to prevent the release of his own documents that may incriminate him in his son's influence peddling schemes involving the Ukrainian energy company.

8 Times Our Federal Government Ran A Protect-Biden Racket. [#1] Censoring the Hunter Biden Laptop Story: The most recent and most well-known example of the feds protecting the Biden family stems from efforts by intelligence agencies to squelch news coverage of the New York Post's reporting that Hunter Biden "introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company." The Post discovered that detail, and many more implicating Joe Biden in a pay-to-play scandal, in a cache of emails and text messages recovered from a laptop Hunter had abandoned at a Delaware computer repair store. [...] Of course, the Hunter Biden laptop was not part of a "hack-and-leak operation," and it wasn't "Russian propaganda" or "important misinformation" — and the FBI knew that fact because it had seized the laptop from the computer repair store nearly a year earlier, in December of 2019. But the FBI nonetheless deceived the tech giants to induce them to censor the pay-to-play scandal that likely would have cost Joe Biden the election. [...] [#2] Quietly Seizing Hunter's Laptop from Repair Shop: While it was the FBI's lies that prompted the tech giants to censor the New York Post's coverage of the Biden family pay-to-play scandal, the bureau's efforts to protect the Biden family from the damning material contained on the laptop may have also included the FBI's seizure of the laptop from the repair store owner, John Paul Mac Isaac. Had Mac Isaac not made a copy of the hard drive before the FBI seized Hunter's laptop in December 2019, the FBI could have kept the entire story quiet.

Biden plays Santa Claus in Africa. Are you prepared to send South Africa $8 billion to close down their coal-fired power plants? Don't worry. Your level of preparation is irrelevant. President Biden is prepared to do so, and that is all that matters. Your opinion counts [for nothing] in such matters. Biden held a U.S./Africa summit, and he decided that this was a fine time to shower the continent with some good ol' American dollars. Because the history of foreign aid investments in Africa has been one of unlimited success, it apparently it's time to pour more good money after bad. [...] Africa is a mess, and everybody knows it. There are things that the US and other countries can do to help the citizens in all these countries, such as the AIDS relief that was among George W Bush's few achievements. But sending foreign aid to these countries is a giant waste of money. Worse, it only helps prop up some seriously corrupt governments.

Jill Biden wants another term as First Lady. Are we really to believe that Jill Biden had reservations about another term in office? CNN reports this morning that the First Lady has experienced a "tidal shift" in thinking from September, when she was "not a proponent" of a Joe Biden 2024 campaign. Now she's "all in" on four more years, according to their sources: [...] To buy this, one would have to imagine a Biden family not obsessed with power and profiting off of it. One would also have to imagine that Jill Biden has been anything but an enthusiastic participant in Biden Inc. [...] If Biden heads into a presidential cycle against anyone not named Trump, he'll get blasted out of office. The Bidens are apparently the only people who don't know this.

Biden Completely Falls Apart in Battle With Teleprompter in Front of African Leaders. You would think that they would have him review speeches before he gives them, given his inability to understand what he is saying or sound coherent. But that surely wasn't the case with these remarks. It looked not only like he had no idea what he was saying, but that he couldn't see what the teleprompter said, despite it being huge. So he just made a complete mess of it.

Twitter Files — Part One. The platform censored the Hunter Biden laptop story in advance of the 2020 presidential election by claiming publicly that it violated their "hacked" policy, knowing full well that the laptop wasn't hacked at all. They pretended it might be Russian disinformation, even though that excuse was nothing more than U.S. intelligence disinformation. Twitter took its marching orders from the Biden campaign team, Democratic operatives, and the FBI which was running a Biden protection racket.

Joe Biden Launches Into a Profanity-Laced Tirade Over His Condition. Joe Biden is the oldest president to ever hold office, recently turning 80 years old and staring down the barrel of an unprecedented re-election bid. In the midst of that, his health has become an issue for voters, who consistently place it as a concern when polled, and that concern is backed by plenty of evidence. Biden has routinely given public appearances where his senility shines through like the rays of a thousand suns. He's not okay, and the older he gets, the worse he gets.

Biden's Energy Department Funnels Millions to Beijing-Backed Green Energy Company. President Joe Biden's Energy Department funneled millions of dollars to a green energy company in the months after the company partnered with a Chinese state-owned entity that it acknowledges could face business-crippling sanctions. Carbon capture company LanzaTech, federal spending disclosures show, has received more than $10 million in grant payments from the Biden administration since April 2021, when the company announced a partnership with Sinopec Capital — the clean energy investment arm of the Sinopec Group, a Chinese state-owned oil conglomerate also known as the China Petrochemical Corporation — to "debut an international market of new energy and new materials."

The coming war over Hunter Biden. Republican lawmakers will take control of the House of Representatives on Jan. 3. That means that, among many other things, they will take control of the House's investigative committees and subcommittees. GOP leaders have already said they plan to probe the Biden administration's disastrous policy on the U.S.-Mexico border, the disastrous withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, the disastrous failure to stop the flow of fentanyl into the U.S., and more. There is clearly a lot to investigate. But the topic that will receive the most attention in the media and the political conversation will be the investigation into the business dealings of the Biden family — Joe, Hunter, and Jim Biden.

Joe Biden Signs Same-Sex Marriage Bill: 'Nothing More Decent, More Dignified, More American'. President Joe Biden signed a bill making same-sex marriage legal nationwide on Tuesday, describing it as a victory for freedom in America. "There is nothing more decent, more dignified, more American about what we are doing here today," Biden said during his speech at the White House before the signing.

Joe Biden Goes From Senile to Disgusting in Remarks on Gay Marriage Law. As you're probably aware by now, a number of Republicans stabbed their voters in the back to pass the Orwellian-named "Respect for Marriage Act." It's a law so bad in its execution and so misleading in its branding that I almost feel obliged to use quotes every time I mention it. There is nothing respectful about it in regard to the institution of marriage. I covered some of the major issues with the law previously, and I won't rehash that here. Rather, this article centers on Joe Biden's Tuesday appearance marking the passage of the "Respect for Marriage Act." During his remarks, he managed to run the gambit from senile to disgusting. Biden is constantly finding fresh ways to be the worst president in modern history.

Hunter Biden's Strategy To Go On The Offensive Further Indicts The Feds. Two months after the FBI subpoenaed the laptop Hunter Biden had abandoned at a Delaware computer repair store, the Drug Enforcement Administration searched the office of Hunter's one-time psychiatrist Keith Ablow and seized a second laptop Hunter had left with him. The timing of the DEA raid and the fact that criminal charges were never filed against Ablow, coupled with whistleblowers' claims that the FBI buried evidence against Hunter Biden, raises the question of whether the search was a pretext to recover Hunter's laptop and protect the Biden family. While the DEA's recovery of the second Hunter Biden laptop escaped scrutiny over the last nearly three years, a Washington Post article from Saturday brings that laptop into focus — and with it questions about the DEA's seizure of the laptop and agents' decision to return it to Hunter.

The United States of Fascist America. [Scroll down] Take for example the recent Twitter File revelations. The federal government took control of big tech and social media giants to control free speech and dissent. It was more than simply the Biden campaign pressuring Twitter. The FBI had weekly meetings with social media corporations to warn them of "Russian interference" or "hack and leak operations," which they knew very well were nothing of the sort. And despite denials, Biden administration officials may still be meeting with media executives. Who is on President Biden's guest list during the many weeks he is at one of his Delaware vacation homes? The result was social media suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, which would have likely altered the 2020 presidential election outcome. Specifically, "16% of Biden voters would have voted differently if Hunter Biden laptop story was not suppressed by media, big tech." In an election decided by about 50,000 votes in a few swing districts, this was obvious election interference. And it wasn't only the FBI, but also the Department of Homeland Security.

A strangely timed DEA raid, whistleblower claims, and other red flags raise new questions about Hunter Biden and his family affairs. Two months after the FBI subpoenaed the laptop Hunter Biden had abandoned at a Delaware computer repair store, the Drug Enforcement Administration searched the office of Hunter's one-time psychiatrist Keith Ablow and seized a second laptop Hunter had left with him. The timing of the DEA raid and the fact that criminal charges were never filed against Ablow, coupled with whistleblowers' claims that the FBI buried evidence against Hunter Biden, raises the question of whether the search was a pretext to recover Hunter's laptop and protect the Biden family. While the DEA's recovery of the second Hunter Biden laptop escaped scrutiny over the last nearly three years, a Washington Post article from Saturday brings that laptop into focus — and with it questions about the DEA's seizure of the laptop and agents' decision to return it to Hunter.

Biden allies move to intimidate witnesses ahead of GOP's coming Hunter probe. Just when you thought our politics could not get more poisonous, a recent meeting in California suggests the past is mere prelude. The Washington Post, which revealed the powwow, described it as Biden family "allies" planning an offensive to blunt any investigation into the Bidens' alleged multimillion-dollar influence-peddling schemes. Republicans will see it more like the gathering of the Legion of (Democratic) Doom. Some of the most controversial political operatives are involved in the all-hands-on-deck effort to protect the Bidens. The California meeting's host was none other than Hunter Biden's friend, agent and lawyer Kevin Morris. After Hunter was placed under investigation for, among other possible charges, tax evasion, Morris reportedly paid off as much as $2.8 million in back taxes for Hunter. Morris, per the Washington Post, called for a "more aggressive" response to those seeking to investigate the alleged influence peddling. That plan includes hitting critics, such as Fox News, with possible defamation lawsuits.

A Foundation of Sand. The FBI and the rest of the Deep State's witch hunts against innocent Trump supporters and associates are well documented. If you do not know that our governmental institutions are perfectly partisan and corrupt, no quantity or quality of evidence will convince you at this point. The evidence is overwhelming that the federal KGB/FBI is more than willing to both cover up the crimes of consummate Cultural Marxists while prosecuting the non-crimes of anyone who would dare mock or flout the sacred rites of the wokeshevik creed, or undermine, no matter how trivially, the interests of the Washington regime, to the extent those matters are separable. Not only is the FBI not interested in the Biden family's many crimes, some of which are fairly serious, it is even farming out its dirty work to its agents and assets in the corporate world (CEOs, CFOs, general counsels at Twitter) so as to protect the state criminals at the helm of the imperial regime in Washington.

The terrible consequences of stolen elections and government corruption. Biden is owned by China, he owes his personal wealth to China and Ukraine. He does the bidding of those nations because they purchased his submission to their will, however dangerous to U.S. national security. Biden is thug with no reverence for the nation he purports to lead. The war in Ukraine is no doubt enriching his pals there and defense manufacturers here. Who knows in whose pockets all those billions land. Zelensky seems willing to see every last Ukrainian killed for the U.S. goal of deposing Putin? Zelensky is no hero; he's a puppet of the globalist left. He's an actor playing a part for the benefit of the gullible at outlets like Time Magazine. The war in Ukraine is a tragedy that never would have occurred if Trump were president.

Dementia: 2022's Word of the Year. Congressman, and former White House physician, Ronny Jackson has noted Biden's dementia-related symptoms, and has recommended he take a cognitive test. I see his point: Biden's bizarre behavior, from shaking hands with a ghost to being escorted by the Easter bunny, is alarming. Perhaps more disconcerting are his ominous overtones about nuclear Armageddon, and his warnings of severe illness and death. Can it get much worse: the ugly Grim Reaper in Chief has dementia? [...] Biden has also proved that senility can be a terrible presidential disease. That's why the word Dementia deserves to be the 2022 Word of the Year.

Joe Biden sure does a lot of favors for China. I wonder why.
Senator Launches Inquiry Into Biden's $200M Grant to China-Based Battery Company. The top Republican on the Senate energy committee launched an inquiry on Wednesday into a Biden administration grant to a China-based battery company under scrutiny from U.S. financial regulators. The announcement came in the wake of a Washington Free Beacon report about the Biden administration's attempt to spin the grant as a boon for American-made clean energy. Sen. John Barrasso (R., Wyo.), the ranking member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said the Department of Energy's grant to Microvast Holding "endangers our national security" and "undermine[s] the United States' position in its race against China for technological supremacy," in a letter to DOE secretary Jennifer Granholm on Wednesday.

Biden family 'fully' supports 2024 re-election campaign: Senior advisor. President Biden intends to run for re-election in 2024, and a senior adviser told Fox News that another run is something the Biden family "fully" supports. The White House in recent months has emphasized Biden's "intentions" to run for re-election, but has not committed either way. Biden, who turned 80 last month, is the oldest president in history. "As the President has said, he intends to run for re-election," a senior advisor told Fox News. "That is something both Dr. Biden and the family fully support."

Karine Jean-Pierre refuses to comment when asked if the Biden campaign communicated with Twitter about Hunter Biden's laptop. Joe Biden's top spokesperson won't comment on whether the president's 2020 campaign communicated with Twitter after it was revealed there was at least some correspondence with the social media giant. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre continues to deflect questions related to the bombshell 'Twitter Files' after calling it 'old news' during her briefing on Tuesday. She declined to comment on Wednesday when asked if Biden's team ever formally or informally communicated to the Twitter team that Hunter Biden's laptop was hacked.

Obama-Biden Government in Exile Ran Hunter Laptop Suppression Operation. They got the band back together — to the extent the original members ever broke up in the first place. Recent disclosures by independent journalist Matt Taibbi confirmed what other reporters have been covering for the better part of two years: According to files obtained by Elon Musk, the new owner and CEO of Twitter, the social media platform protected Joe Biden and his family from a major and potentially election-altering scandal as millions of Americans were voting early for president in October 2020. Years of denials and dismissals related to Hunter Biden's lucrative shakedown of hostile nations, including Russia and China, were set to explode just a few weeks before Election Day. Big Tech — and the government — was ready. Immediately after the New York Post published damning material retrieved from Hunter Biden's laptop contradicting Joe Biden's longtime protestations that he had nothing to do with his son's profiteering gigs, Twitter claimed the reporting was based on "hacked material" and in violation of the company's terms of service. [...] Amid internal confusion as to the company's shaky explanation for censoring the coverage of Biden's laptop, Twitter's general counsel defended the move. James Baker told employees that "caution was warranted" and claimed "some facts ... indicate that the materials may have been hacked." If Baker's name sounds familiar — and not in a good way — it should. Baker served as former FBI Director James Comey's top lawyer during Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI's attempt to sabotage Trump's campaign and presidency with claims he had been in cahoots with the Kremlin to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton.

Joe Biden Succeeded Where Benedict Arnold Failed, and Our Deep State Was In on It. I just read Jason Jones' account — based on leaks from high-level intelligence sources — of the sheer extent of the high-tech, strategic loot Joe Biden handed the Taliban and al Qaeda, closely allied to China. The facts beggar belief. By intentionally abandoning billions of dollars of military equipment and facilities, Biden has transformed a backward country into a major military power, aligned with Communist China and radical, terrorist Islam. Here are a few choice quotes:
• "This is the greatest loss of military equipment in the history of warfare by one power. What America has just given to the Taliban is equivalent to 85% of all the military aid Washington has given to Israel since 1948."
• The U.S. Government "is so used to burning and wasting American taxpayers' hard-earned money that no one from our government can be even bothered to address the fact that 85-90 billion [dollars] in military equipment has been left to the Taliban and Al-Qaeda."
• "This is larger than the annual military budget for every nation around the world except the U.S. and China. So the Taliban, thanks to the U.S. Government, this year has a larger military budget than Russia, the U.K., India and France."

White House Dismisses Twitter Censoring Stories on Behalf of Joe Biden as 'Old News'. The White House dismissed Monday new information released by Twitter regarding corporate decisions during the 2020 election to censor stories and posts about President Joe Biden's son Hunter. "That is full of old news, if you think about it," White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre said during the daily briefing, when asked for the White House's reaction to the new information unveiled by Twitter's new CEO Elon Musk.

Secret Service finds more than 100 records on Hunter Biden gun case that agency earlier said didn't exist. After several flip-flops, the United States Secret Service has finally revealed it is in possession of more than 100 records related to yet another Hunter Biden scandal — his alleged gun, which was reportedly ditched in a dumpster in Delaware. According to its website, Judicial Watch, led by Tom Fitton, "uses the open records or freedom of information laws and other tools to investigate and uncover misconduct by government officials and litigation to hold to account politicians and public officials who engage in corrupt activities." Following an October 2020 report from the Blaze, in which a source claimed that "in October 2018, Hunter Biden's handgun was taken from his vehicle without his knowledge by Hallie Biden — the widow of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's son Beau — and she placed it in a garbage can outside a Delaware supermarket," Judicial Watch launched an investigation into whether the Secret Service intervened in the situation on the first son's behalf.

Hunter Biden's former firm took $10 Million in forgiven COVID loans, donated $1 Million back to the Dems. Scratch at pretty much anything Hunter Biden has touched, and it seems you'll likely find a scandal. No one knows this better than the New York Post's Miranda Devine, who broke the now notorious "laptop from hell" story for her outlet years ago, and now she's revealed that the first son's former employer, law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, took a whopping $10.14 million loan — the largest single loan among 300 of the top law firms investigated by Open the Books, a nonprofit dedicated to transparency — from the Paycheck Protection Program. And while one hand of the law firm was securing that, the other was donating nearly $1 million to Democratic candidates, according to an independent investigation.

Tweets deleted by Twitter at request of 'Biden team' DO appear to be photos of Hunter smoking crack from laptop. Images of Hunter Biden naked, smoking crack appear to be in the tweets that staffers from Joe Biden's 2020 campaign instructed Twitter to delete. The revelation came after the company's new CEO, Elon Musk, published a slew of tweets containing emails from Twitter executives involved in censoring Hunter Biden's laptop. In one of these emails, sent ten days after The New York Post first broke the laptop story on October 14 of that year, Twitter staffers were asked to 'review' five tweets deemed problematic by 'the Biden team.'

Judicial Watch: Secret Service Finds Hunter Biden Gun Probe Documents It Denied Having. The Secret Service has found hundreds of documents it previously denied having in relation to the probe into Hunter Biden's alleged gun violations, conservative watchdog Judicial Watch revealed Thursday. Judicial Watch has been investigating if the Secret Service protected Hunter from scrutiny after the president's son revealed in a 2019 text message the FBI got involved in the case of a missing firearm tossed in a Delaware dumpster by Hunter's former sister-in-law-turned-lover. Nobody was charged with wrongdoing, according to reports.

Secret Service has Hunter Biden gun probe docs it denied having: watchdog. The Secret Service has located hundreds of pages of records tied to the investigation of a gun belonging to Hunter Biden — despite having denied they existed, a government watchdog group said Thursday. Judicial Watch is investigating whether the Secret Service intervened on behalf of President Biden's son after the incident, and it has sued the agency for all materials related to the reported purchase, possession, and disposal of the firearm owned by Hunter Biden. The group has accused the Secret Service of repeatedly changing its position on whether it has any documents related to the investigation. "The Secret Service's changing story on records raises additional questions about its role in the Hunter Biden gun incident," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Interrogated By Cruz, Diplomat Gives False Testimony About Biden's Billion Dollar Bribe. During a November 30th hearing of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a senior State Department official gave false testimony about a billion-dollar bribery scandal involving Joe Biden. The official, George Kent, is Joe Biden's appointee to be the next U.S. ambassador to Estonia. At Kent's nomination hearing, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, questioned him about Biden's actions in Ukraine that occurred while Kent was overseeing anti-corruption efforts in Europe and working in Ukraine. At the time, Biden was the vice president and serving as President Obama's point man for Ukraine. This affair began in March 2014 when Biden gave a speech before the Ukrainian parliament in which he promised that the U.S. would help Ukraine increase its gas production. That same month, a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch placed Biden's son Hunter on the board of his gas company and began paying Hunter $83,333 per month.

According to Joe Biden, Americans Are All Just a Bunch of Idiots. President Joe Biden was slammed by critics for suggesting that the public didn't know "what the [...] a supply chain was." During a rally in Michigan, Biden claimed that Americans didn't understand what a supply chain was "10 years ago," and it wasn't until the Covid-19 pandemic that brought it to people's attention that it began to affect the economy. "10 years ago, how many of you knew what the [...] a supply chain was? No, I'm serious!" Biden shouted at the crowd. Trying to save face after insinuating that Americans are too dumb to understand how a supply chain works, the president then asked reporters "if we were all going out and having lunch together, and I said, 'Let's ask whoever's in the next table, no matter what restaurant we're in, have them explain the supply chain to us.' Do you think they'd understand what we're talking about?" [Tweets]

Biden appears to declare himself the greatest president in US history. President Biden all but declared himself as the greatest president in America's history on Wednesday [11/30/2022]. "I tell you what," the president said. "No one's ever done as much as president as this administration's doing. Period." Biden spoke during the White House Tribal Nations Summit, which was to feature new announcements and efforts to put new policies in place that support Tribal communities.

Ex-Twitter safety chief Finally admits censoring Hunter Biden's laptop story was a huge error. The former head of trust and safety at Twitter admitted that the company made a mistake when censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story. Yoel Roth, who resigned earlier in November following Musk's $44 billion takeover, said the authenticity of the New York Post's laptop story was difficult for the social media company to verify, and it was quickly censored in October 2020. Twitter deliberately prevented users from sharing links to a front-page newspaper article about Hunter Biden's private life and his controversial business ties to Ukraine in the run-up to the 2020 election between Biden's father and Donald Trump.

Joe Biden is unfit to be president. Why didn't anyone stop him? President Biden is a man of mediocre intellect who, over almost five decades in national public office, accomplished little to nothing, other than his election to federal offices and becoming rich off the federal teat and various side hustles. He is a thin-skinned, chip-on-the-shoulder, macho swaggerer who, in a Tucker Carlson phrase, "kisses up and spits down." He is a prevaricator, plagiarist, teller-of-tall-tales narcissist who has no respect for the truth, only narratives that advance his interests or portray him favorably. If not a racist, he still sees only through the lens of race and panders, prejudges, or pounces accordingly. Finally, when it comes to young children and women, he just cannot, as my mother used to put it, keep his hands to himself; he may be guilty of much, much worse. Sadly, as a result of advanced age and cognitive decline, his skills, such as a quick wit, adroit speech, and pleasant countenance, have eroded as his less desirable traits, such as anger, mendacity, and lack of self-control, have worsened. No wonder people are discovering the real Joe Biden. Senators who served with him always knew. Nonetheless, none said to another, "Joe's a nice enough guy, but he must never be president."

White House Can't Get Its Story Straight on Biden's Role in Railroad Union Negotiations. With just one week left until the deadline for railroad companies to reach a deal with 12 rail unions or else a nationwide strike will kick off, the White House doesn't seem to know what it's actually doing to help avert a strike — a strike that Biden already took a victory lap for supposedly averting in September. The confusion may have gotten buried over the long Thanksgiving weekend, but President Joe Biden contradicted his own press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and her claims about what Biden and his administration have been doing to try and prevent a strike that would cost the U.S. economy as much as $2 billion per day and grind roughly one-third of freight to a halt.

Biden Says He Wants to 'Get Rid' of 20 Million 'Assault Rifles'. Joe Biden has been running for president for 40 years, which has to be some kind of record. His ambition to be president has perhaps only been surpassed by former Minnesota governor Harold Stassen. [...] Biden was also elected to high office at a young age. He was 30 when he was sworn in as a Delaware senator and was pegged, like Stassen, as the future of his party. But like Stassen, Biden allowed his ambition to dictate his career. He ran unsuccessfully for president in 1988, and despite being mentioned prominently as a candidate in later years, it wasn't until 2008 that Biden made another serious run for the nomination. Despite his failure, Barack Obama needed a "moderate" to "balance the ticket" and ended up choosing Biden.

Children Inside Nantucket Restaurant Take Selfies With Joe Biden Who's Trapped Behind Sniff-Proof Glass. Joe Biden is spending the long weekend in a $22 million house on Nantucket owned by a billionaire who doesn't pay his fair share of taxes. Joe and Jill Biden went shopping in Nantucket for Small Business Saturday. Biden didn't actually buy anything. He just blocked the streets with his security detail and shuffled around Main Street. Social media users roasted Joe Biden over "creepy" selfies with kids where the president is seen lurking in the background of children's selfies with his face up against a window. Biden gave kids sitting in the Lemon Press Juice Shop on Nantucket an up-close and personal look when he approached the store window and smiled for some photos, a social media post from the Nantucket Current shows.

Biden [is] Protected By [the] Same Guns He Says Have 'No Redeeming Value' and Wants to Ban. Joe Biden said semiautomatic firearms have "no redeeming social value" and yet hie is protected by the very same guns. Ironically, Biden is protected by the very same semiautomatic handguns he wants to ban ordinary people from owning. Biden said, "The idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It has no social redeeming value." The U.S Secret Service transitioned from Glock handguns to Sig Sauer pistols recently, and both Glock and Sig are semiautomatic pistols. It's one rule for thee and another for me.

Biden sure does push a lot of money into Ukraine. I wonder why.
EU accuses US of profiteering from Ukraine war through sales of guns and gas. The EU has accused the US of profiteering from the Ukraine war by selling guns and gas at ramped up prices. Several high-ranking officials within the Bloc accused Joe Biden of capitalizing on the brutal Russian invasion by marking up the cost to import the vital products. One senior official told Politico they believe America was standing to gain the most from the continuation of the fighting, nine months after soldiers first invaded.

Turns out Joe Biden was the shadowy hand behind Justin Trudeau's tyrannical acts against Canadian truckers. When Justin Trudeau shut down Canada's spectacular 3,000-strong convoy of "freedom" truckers opposed to Canada's COVID vaccine mandates, most were appalled at the tyrannical steps taken to stop it. After all, the country was Canada, not Cuba. Son-of-Castro invoked Canada's "Emergencies Act," on "Freedom Convoy 2022," on February 14, freezing trucker bank accounts, imprisoning their leaders, shutting down a GoFundMe account for truckers, banning travel to the protests, which had attracted 15,000 people, hauling off and termininating parental rights of truckers to their own children, and expropriating their trucks. All that, over a peaceful trucker protest over a vaccine mandate. We know it was outrageous. We know it was something Castro would do. But now as Trudeau is called to Canada's parliament to testify about what [...] he thought it was doing, word has gotten out about who was really calling the shots on this lunacy.

The Editor says...
Joe Biden is incapable of "calling the shots" in his own day-to-day life, and he's certainly not telling Castro Junior what to do.

Biden Regime Bans World's Largest Sugar Producer from Exporting to the U.S. Amid Forced Labor Claims — But China Gets a Pass. On Wednesday, the Biden regime banned the world's largest sugar producer from exporting its product to the United States due to allegations that it was produced using forced labor. "Effective November 23, 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel at all U.S. ports of entry will detain raw sugar and sugar-based products produced in the Dominican Republic by Central Romana Corporation Limited (Central Romana)," US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a statement. Although Central Romana is headquartered in the Dominican Republic, it is owned by the Fanjul family, who are influential sugar barons based in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to UPI. Due to information suggesting that forced labor is being used by Central Romana, CBP issued a Withhold Release Order (WRO). According to CBP, they have identified five of the International Labour Organization's 11 indicators of forced labor during its investigation: abuse of vulnerability, isolation, withholding of wages, abusive working and living conditions, and excessive overtime.

The Editor says...
[#1] Perhaps the Customs and Border Protection people should enforce the international boundary with Mexico instead of worrying about what goes on in the Dominican Republic. [#2] Aren't grocery prices high enough already without cutting off the sugar supply? [#3] Notice that the announcement of this bone-headed decision was made on the day before a four-day weekend, to produce the minimum coverage in the press. [#4] Joe Biden sure does a lot of favors for China. I wonder why.

Biden's Not So Subtle Lurch Toward Dictatorship. In the wake of the midterm elections, President Joe Biden was asked during a rare press conference — in reference to Twitter's new owner — whether he thought Elon Musk was a threat to national security. With a pause and a smirk, the president said that topic was "worthy of being looked at."&n bsp;With those words, Biden made it clear that if you even seem to oppose his politics, your private life will be under the direct scrutiny of the state. Despite his constant prattle about saving our democracy, Biden seems to think he's running an authoritarian police state. In truth, the federal government already maintains entities that review acquisitions such as Musk's for anything from foreign influence to anti-competitive business practices. After many months in which Musk's negotiations to purchase Twitter happened in full public view, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said last week that she sees no basis for the government to investigate that purchase.

Biden, in a call to NBC, made a reporter wait 17 Seconds for a reply after saying hello to the president. Joe and Jill Biden suffered awkward technical difficulties while calling in to NBC's Today show during its annual Thanksgiving Day parade broadcast in NYC. Reporter Dylan Dreyer was forced to wait an excruciating 17 seconds for a reply to her excited 'Hello Mr President' while reporting from Manhattan Thursday morning. Before Biden addressed her, the 80 year-old could be heard talking to First Lady Jill, with the pair apparently expressing confusion over the connection issues.

The Editor says...
Any technical issues should have been predicted, intercepted, and prevented by the White House Communications Agency, hours (or days!) ahead of this interview. That leaves only non-technical explanations, like senility, hearing loss, and unnecessary distractions in the room, such as Jill Biden.

Joe Biden's Abuse of Power. On Monday, a federal appeals court blocked the implementation of Joe Biden's scheme to transfer the debt burden held by student-loan borrowers onto the shoulders of taxpayers. The suit against the administration, which was brought by six Republican-led states, argued that the order threatens local tax revenues and exceeds the president's constitutional authority, and the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed. This court's decision against the Biden administration follows a similar ruling from a U.S. district court in Texas. That court also blocked Biden's debt-transference plot on the grounds that the post-9/11 HEROES Act, which provided loan assistance to military personnel, doesn't grant the White House statutory authority to erase the debt burdens held by civilians. That, you might think, would be that. But the White House never gave the law its due when it crafted its patently lawless subversion of congressional authority in the first place, so why start now? The administration is reportedly looking for ways to circumvent the courts' rulings. The most attractive option, according to early reporting, is to further erode the public's confidence in elected officials by abusing the emergency powers supposedly necessitated by the pandemic.

Time is running out for Joe and Hunter Biden as GOP prepares investigation. We are reliably informed that "elections have consequences," and House Republicans are eager to prove it by using their new majority to reveal Biden family corruption. Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, incoming chairman of the Oversight Committee, was blunt about his goal. "The president's participation in enriching his family is, in a word, abuse of the highest order," Comer said. "I want to be clear: This is an investigation of Joe Biden, and that's where our focus will be next Congress." That's a very big idea, which guarantees he will face very big resistance in trying to reveal the evidence and shape public opinion. The White House is lining up a social-media defense operation and Democrats in Congress will rally to the cause, but the biggest hurdle for Republicans will be the lefty overlords who control Big Media and Big Tech.

White House access is for sale:
Wedding betrayal might wake press up that they're being used by Biden. President Biden's granddaughter Naomi's White House wedding was "a private affair," and off-limits to the press. Well, except for Vogue. The White House press pool wasn't allowed into The People's House, but the fashion magazine got the full spread, the private pics, the kisses, the cake cutting, and all the pomp and circumstance. The media is furious, but they shouldn't be surprised. This is a president who rarely does a press conference, who prefers TikTok and Instagram influencers to "60 Minutes." Of course, they pulled a bait-and-switch to only get the pictures they want published. Why didn't the press realize they were going to get rolled? Because they thought they'd earned the right to be there. They've earned the access by spending countless hours in the press briefing room, waiting for Biden officials to come out to the podium and spin their propagandist yarns.

WH Flails Desperately Over Joe Biden's Involvement in Hunter's Foreign Biz Dealings. We've been covering the questions regarding Hunter Biden, the laptop, the foreign business dealings, and what it all has to do with Joe Biden for more than two years now. We saw CBS finally get around to acknowledging that the laptop was real, catching up to us after two years. But as we noted, it means it's getting harder for them to spin away from the truth now. My colleague Streiff thinks that it might be an intentional effort to let Joe Biden know what he's going to be hit with if he doesn't step aside for another Democrat in 2024. Could be, you know that there has to be furious jockeying behind the scenes as to "how to solve a problem like Joe." It's pretty hard to argue away the pictures of Joe Biden meeting with Hunter's business associates, Tony Bobulinski outlining Joe's proposed 10 percent to the Chinese-connected company, the millions that the Biden family got through the foreign business dealings, and the conflation on monies between Hunter and Joe Biden.

The GOP's Hunter Biden Probe Is Legit. As a tactical concern, the House GOP's decision to open an investigation into Biden family corruption is questionable. It promises limited political return. It would serve Republicans, and the country, far better if the House focused on a hyper-politicized Justice Department that targets the political opposition, labels concerned parents "domestic terrorists," and ignores violence aimed at pregnancy centers, for starters. None of that, however, means there isn't sufficient circumstantial evidence suggesting Joe Biden not only lied about knowing his son was favor-trading on the family name with corrupt autocracies, but that he was a beneficiary of those business dealings. Indeed, precedent says we Republicans have a duty to "democracy" to investigate. Yet, Greg Sargent over at The Washington Post warns: "If Republicans can obliterate the distinction between congressional investigations done in good faith and ones that weaponize the process in bad faith they win." You see, only Democrats can launch investigations in "good faith."

My $.02 on Hunter Biden laptop. As Ed noted earlier, CBS News has stumbled onto a big scoop: Hunter Biden left a laptop behind at a computer repair shop, and it has a bunch of salacious and potentially damning documents on it. They even verified that the laptop is Hunter's! What a scoop! I wonder if other media outlets will pick up the story and run with it? This could be Joe Biden's downfall, since the rumor is that there are lots of documents stored on the laptop that make it appear that Hunter was influence peddling, and Joe was collecting money through the back door for making policy decisions! Not to mention tax evasion, drugs, hookers, lots of nudity, and even evidence of human trafficking. This story could be huge! [...] CBS News is of course over 2 years behind The New York Post, and even behind The New York Times, which only took more than a year to grudgingly acknowledge the facts deep inside a story on another topic. The interesting point is not that they "discovered" the story, but why they decided to report on it now.

Free America: We're already dealing with a fascist regime. Where does the Democrat Party want to be in five years, or ten or twenty? We saw that very clearly on September 1, 2022, when Joe Biden made his infamous speech with the red and black background. Biden gave a speech that was without parallel in American history. It was an extraordinary departure from 200 years of American political tradition, and it was extremely important. It reveals what the Left is trying ultimately to do. [...] In his red and black speech on September 1, 2022, the 83rd anniversary of the beginning of World War II, Biden said that Trump and his supporters represented a grave threat to the Republic itself. That was what was so unprecedented in American life, and why his speech was more like Hitler's Reichstag speech than any speech of an American president. Biden was saying that essentially half of the electorate was a threat to the Republic and outside the bounds of acceptable political discourse. Do you think that they are going to peacefully allow those whom they have thus branded to recapture the White House or the House or the Senate? This is an effort to rule Trump supporters, that is, America First patriots, out of the bounds of acceptable discourse, and to criminalize their perspective.

CBS Authenticates Hunter Biden's Laptop and Signals the Wheels on the Bus Are Coming for Joe. On October 14, 2020, in the heat of the 2020 presidential contest, the New York Post published a blockbuster. They had in their possession a laptop computer that Joe Biden's dissolute and degenerate git, Hunter, had abandoned in a Delaware computer repair store. The contents were damning. They showed conclusively that Joe Biden was not merely an arm's length recipient of payoffs from the ~~opportunities for graft and corruption~~ business opportunities he'd placed in Hunter's path. Joe Biden was an active part of the Biden Crime Family. Almost immediately, the leftist media and tech corporations locked dainty little arms and refused to admit that anything even existed. The New York Times reviewed the laptop, found no evidence that it had been tampered with, but claimed they couldn't verify the emails because they couldn't review the sent emails of sending accounts or some such [nonsense] that they never use as a standard before hammering conservatives. Shortly after the original New York Post reporting, "a group of 51 former senior intelligence officials" signed a letter saying that this had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

Media still trying to trick Americans about Hunter Biden. The Biden family's influence peddling has always been a scandal left to the eye of the beholder. For some, it was dismissed as Russian disinformation or, more recently, simply the result of a drug addicted son of the president. Neither is true, but Hunter Biden has always been an example of motivated perception, or perceptual bias, where we tend to see what we want to see and turn a "blind eye" to what we do not want to see. That phenomenon was on full display this week in an Associated Press article that made an extraordinary claim: that there is no evidence even suggesting that President Joe Biden ever spoke to his son about his foreign dealings. I previously discussed how the Bidens have succeeded in a Houdini-like trick in making this elephant of a scandal disappear from the public stage. They did so by enlisting the media in the illusion. However, this level of audience participation in the trick truly defies belief.

Joe Biden's Delaware Vacations Have Cost Taxpayers at Least $11 Million. Joe Biden is the ultimate government parasite. Biden has been in government for nearly 50 years and he's still leeching off the American taxpayer. According to analysis by Fox News, Biden's frequent Delaware vacations have cost taxpayers at least $11 million. Marine One costs approximately $20,000 per hour and Air Force One costs $177,843 per hour, according to Department of Defense documents. Fox News reported that Joe Biden has taken 101 flights between Delaware and DC since he was installed in January 2021. [...] According to the New York Post, since being installed in January 2021, Joe Biden has spent more than 40% of his presidency on vacation. There are no visitor logs at Biden's Delaware compound so the American people have no idea who Biden is meeting with off-the-record. We have no idea who is visiting Joe Biden every weekend in Delaware.

Biden's White House literally could not be 'more political'. Biden's already run the most political White House in recent memory, where the larger public good is brutally ignored in favor of the immediate interests of the president and his party. Look at his disastrous border policy. It's caused untold human misery and has now spread to cities — like New York — nowhere near the southern border, all while pouring money into the pockets of fentanyl-peddling cartels and human traffickers. But it made his base of rich blue-staters happy because it ups the supply of cheap labor on which their lifestyles depend and lets them playact as humanitarians. Or his student-loan abomination. He knew he lacked the authority to unilaterally forgive student debt (with money extracted from the less well-off); Biden and Nancy Pelosi both said as much.

Media's Latest Defense: Joe Biden's Judgement Unaffected by Hunter's Business Deals. The establishment media has shifted its position at least four times on the significance of Hunter Biden's laptop story after more than two years since Breitbart News's Political Editor Emma-Jo Morris broke the story at the New York Post. On Thursday, Politico's Heidi Przybyla and Jordan Carney claimed: "no evidence has publicly emerged that his [Joe Biden] decisions were affected by his son's business."

The Editor says...
That's your defense? "No evidence has publicly emerged" most likely means that evidence exists but it's being successfully hidden. What is meant by "Hunter's business deals?" What is Hunter's business? With whom is he conducting his business? What service does he render?

James Comer [is] 95% Sure Hunter's Artwork Sold to Chinese, Compromising Joe Biden. Rep. James Comer (R-TN), the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, told Breitbart News Saturday he strongly suspects that Hunter Biden's artwork was sold to Chinese oligarchs, potentially implicating president Joe Biden. "With respect to China, since Joe Biden's been president, that we didn't even talk about in the press conference, was the fact that Hunter became an artist for a week, if you'll remember, and he sold some very expensive artwork," Comer prefaced, noting his Thursday press conference in which he said the Biden family will be investigated for nine potential violations. Hunter has reportedly sold five paintings worth $75,000 each to an anonymous buyer. Hunter's art dealer, Georges Bergès, has previously boasted he had strong ties to businessmen in Communist China, which has concerned many due to the Biden family's business ventures abroad.

The Manchurian President. In our opinion [...] President Biden is not only compromised but exemplifies the ultimate Manchurian President. His actions and deeds, controlled by those we do not see (but know who they are), are purposefully destroying our democracy, our legal system, our freedoms, independence, and our republic. [...] It is obvious that Biden is but a simple puppet, a marionette catering to the global elites (some call it the "Global Shadow Government"). After seeing details about the "Big Guy" getting his take from various deals that were arranged by Hunter, the selling to foreign adversaries access to power, the son who has a multitude of issues related to substance abuse, shady deals, and sexual perversion, is there any doubt that Joe Biden is ripe for extortion by Russia, China or any enemy of the United States? What kind of president says to the press "I'm not supposed to answer any questions. I'll get in trouble." The same press acts/pretends as if it's perfectly normal.

Why is Hunter Biden's daughter living at the White House? There is a wedding taking place at the White House today and it involves Joe Biden's granddaughter (and Hunter Biden's oldest legitimate child) Naomi. There's nothing really all that unusual about this event. White House weddings are in high demand and when one member of the couple is a blood relative of the President, well... that's just one of the perks of being related to the power base in Washington, I suppose. To read CNN's upbeat spin on this, the wedding of two twentysomethings will give an "air of youthfulness" to these events, even though Biden turns 80 tomorrow. That's a growing concern for the Democrats, particularly when Biden's "senior moments" seem to be growing more frequent and severe these days. But there is one question CNN doesn't seem interested in and it's tackled by the Free Beacon this week. Naomi Biden has reportedly been living at the White House for some time now along with her fiance. Why?

The Editor says...
Michelle Obama's mother lived at the White House for years, and nobody asked why.

A Little Learning on Methane and Climate Change. Before leaving for a week of virtue-signaling at the COP27 climate conference with other world elites, President Joe Biden would have done well to reread Hans Christian Anderson's story "The Emperor's New Clothes." [...] In Biden's case, the new clothes are the nonsense that there is a climate emergency. But who would want to be considered "unfit for his office" or "unusually stupid" by questioning whether there really is an emergency? So, resplendent in his new regalia, President Biden has proposed regulations on methane emissions by the U.S. oil and gas industry, at a direct cost of more than $1 billion annually, to deal with a nonexistent problem.

Lazy Voters Enable Democratic Fraud. First, let's take a step back and lay down some background info: Anyone with any semblance of either lucid observational powers or intellectual honesty/courage knows that Joe Biden is not the president. He never has been. Biden has been nothing more than a figurehead, a placeholder, ever since the astonishing fraud of the 2020 election was perpetrated upon the American electorate. The Democrats successfully orchestrated their deception and left the naïve Republicans twiddling their thumbs and crying foul. No amount of outright lying from the liberal media can even remotely explain how Republican poll watchers were forced out of several tabulation areas, the filmed evidence of Democratic mules stuffing ballot boxes late at night, how so many precincts had over 100% voter participation, how thousands of new ballots mysteriously appeared out of nowhere, always to the Democrats' advantage, and how state voting laws and deadlines were illegally changed, again, always to the Democrats' advantage. None of this has been explained, much less "debunked," to use the liberal media's favorite word. The fraud was simply ignored and swept under the rug, and if you bring up any logical counterarguments, protected by the 1st Amendment, you're somehow a threat to national security.

Ex-Hunter Biden Business Partner Hopes GOP Probe Will Prove Joe Biden Lied and Is 'The Big Guy'. Tony Bobulinski, the former business partner of President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden, said he welcomes the recently announced GOP investigation into the First Family's business endeavors, hoping it will corroborate his long-running claim that the president lied when he said he had no role in his son's foreign business dealings. Bobulinski, a Navy veteran and former CEO of SinoHawk holdings, a business in which Hunter Biden was involved, said in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity that the probe is "good news" because it stands to lend credence to his earlier allegations that, when the president denied involvement in his son's business operations, it was a "blatant lie." Shortly before the 2020 presidential election, Bobulinski came forward with a series of explosive disclosures prompted by messages discovered on Hunter Biden's laptop. Among them was correspondence involving Hunter Biden where a 10-percent cut from a Chinese business deal would be "held by H for the Big Guy."

Top Republican on House Oversight Committee: Hunter Biden Is Guilty of Committing "Seven or Eight Very Serious Crimes". House Republicans announced on Thursday that they will investigate serial liar and crook Joe Biden. Rep. James Comer (R-KY) announced the investigation this morning. [...] House Republicans have been investigating the Biden Crime Family since at least as far back as 2020. Republicans took control of the US House in the midterm elections and now Republicans are going on offense against one of the most corrupt crime families in US history.

Cheat Sheet Joe Strikes Again, Needs Help With Sitting, Speaking. Cheat sheet Joe strikes again. During his recent trip to Indonesia, President Biden was once again caught with a cheat sheet in his hand that provided simple instructions for the President to follow — including where to sit and when to speak. Twitter account RNC Research posted the details: [Tweet]

Jordan rips media, intel experts for dismissing Hunter Biden emails as 'Russian disinformation'. Rep. Jim Jordan tore into the media and Washington intelligence experts Thursday for accepting the explanation that Hunter Biden's controversial emails were nothing more than a Russian disinformation plot hatched days before the 2020 presidential election. Jordan, R-Ohio, and his Republican colleagues announced that partly because of those emails from Biden's abandoned laptop, they have assembled a broad range of evidence showing that Biden and then-Vice President Joe Biden were involved in influence peddling in dozens of countries around the world. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said the Bidens got rich by "offering access to the family," and said this raises serious national security issues that need to be investigated. After Comer described the evidence collected so far, Jordan ripped the dozens of intelligence officials who told the world that information found on Hunter Biden's laptop was most likely fake news from Russia.

America is back!. President Biden has reassured me that America is back! He said so on Twitter from his vacation in Bali, Indonesia. Oops. Not vacation, very serious G20 meeting in Bali, where he met with President Xi of China and hobnobbed with world leaders like PM Trudeau and uber-villain Klaus Schwab. And fell asleep a lot. He is not quite so hobnobby as he used to be. Milk and cookies are more his speed these days, not scotch and cigars. [Tweet] The evidence that "America is Back" is very thin on the ground. It is a boast, not a reality. Biden himself dodders, rambles, and shakes hands with phantoms. Everything he touches internationally turns to fool's gold: lifeless and worthless as well. Millions of Afghanis, especially women, are under the hobnailed boots of the Taliban. Europe is in the midst of war and crisis. Inflation rages around the world. Energy is short, people will be cold and shivering in the dark in Europe. And China is on the rise militarily, if not exactly stable politically — a bad combination. If this is America being "back," give me more of that hatred and isolation Trump brought on.

No kidding.
House Republicans allege Biden [was] directly involved in business dealings with son Hunter Biden. Republican Reps. James Comer and Jim Jordan alleged at a press conference Thursday [11/17/2022] that President Biden was actively involved in overseas business dealings alongside his son Hunter. Comer, citing whistleblowers, asserted that the Biden family "flourished and became millionaires by simply offering access to the family." "Was Joe Biden directly involved with Hunter Biden's business deals, and is he compromised? That's our investigation," Comer said.

Key Takeaways from the FBI Whistleblowers Report. On November 4, 2022, the Republican staff of the House Judiciary Committee published a report based primarily on whistleblower testimony, describing how the FBI and the Justice Department have become politically weaponized against conservatives. I strongly urge every AT reader to download the report and spend 30 to 60 minutes reading the first 50 pages. Here are a few of the salient points. [...] [#2] The FBI downplayed and sought to reduce the spread of the serious allegations of wrongdoing leveled against Hunter Biden. Despite having had possession of Hunter Biden's laptop for several years and a report released by Senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley in September 2020 detailing "potential criminal activity relating to transactions among and between Hunter Biden, his family, and his associates with Ukrainian, Russian, Kazakh, and Chinese nationals," the FBI has shown no interest in going after him. Contrast the kid glove treatment that Hunter Biden has received with the super-aggressive treatment meted out by the FBI when going after conservatives. There is also evidence that the FBI sought to limit negative stories about Hunter Biden on social media. Mark Zuckerberg has stated that FBI agents visited Facebook HQ before the 2020 election and said they believed that many of the stories about Hunter Biden were "Russian disinformation."

Biden Asks Lame Duck Congress to Quickly Expedite Another $38 Billion for Ukraine Plus $9 Billion for Big Pharma. The White House is urging Nancy Pelosi to utilize the lame duck congressional session and construct a massive omnibus spending bill that will wrap Ukraine funding, COVID spending and a federal budget extension via continuous resolution. The request for Ukraine funding is an additional $38 billion. Federal funds to support FEMA and hurricane recovery efforts will likely be part of the bargaining chips. Essentially, the sausage ingredients are: if congress doesn't give Zelenskyy more money, then DeSantis will not get federal financial assistance. If you don't support Ukraine, you're a Russian operative.

Catholic Bishops Gave Biden A Pass In 2020 And Now Christians Are Paying For It. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) meets this week to elect a new president. Relations with Washington top the agenda. Stalking those relations is the reality that the USCCB compromised itself two years ago to facilitate the presidential candidacy of Joe Biden. Now it is caught in the repercussions of its own priorities in 2020. Biden's appointees in the Department of Health and Human Services would eliminate freedom of conscience in the name of health care. They propose to revise Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act to add mandates about abortion, "gender identity," and sexual orientation to existing protections against "discrimination on the basis of sex." Revision will subvert the right of hospitals and medical practitioners to claim exemption from participating in procedures that violate their religious convictions.

Treason without consequences — Joe Biden's open border policy. The Biden administration is getting away with a massive outrage against our nation and its citizens. Illegal immigration, which poses an existential threat to the U.S., is being enabled by our government and no one seems the least bit interested in putting an end to it. Millions of unvetted migrants are streaming across the border and being shipped to secret destinations in direct violation of U.S. immigration law. This is nothing short of treasonous. Mass illegal immigration, if unchecked, will eventually lead to the destruction of the two-party system and the forced implementation of socialism by the left wing of the Democratic Party. When millions of aliens are permitted to enter the U.S. illegally and sanctuary cities and states can deliberately disregard federal statutes, the rule of law becomes a thing of the past and we no longer have a country.

Joe Biden Sparks Concern After Bowing out of G20 'Leaders' Event, White House Won't Explain Why. As we previously reported, President Joe Biden has been on an overseas tour of sorts over the course of the last several days. As per the norm, there has been one embarrassment after another with perhaps the most notable one being his shameless kowtowing to Chinese "leaders" ahead of the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia at a time when the United States should be projecting strength and competency on a world stage. But in a far more concerning moment, multiple news outlets are reporting that Biden unexpectedly bowed out of the G20 leaders' dinner Monday night [11/14/2022] without explanation, calling an "early lid" — something his handlers are notorious for doing here in the U.S. in an effort to keep him from going off script and saying something they'll have to clean up later. [Tweet]

Biden Hands China's Xi Propaganda Victory at G-20. If Biden wants to set the U.S.-China relationship on a more favorable track, he must engage Beijing from a position of strength. That's not what happened Monday [11/14/2022]. The timing of the summit couldn't have been worse. Xi arrived in Bali fresh from the 20th Chinese Communist Party Congress, where he won a precedent-breaking third term and consolidated his power to an extent not seen since the Mao Zedong era. Video footage of the president excitedly prancing across a stage to shake hands with a patiently waiting Xi left no doubt who was the dominant of the two.

Sen. Ron Johnson Suggests Biden [is] 'Highly Compromised' by China. President Joe Biden is "highly compromised" by the Chinese government, according to Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) who argued that that must be the case given the scrapping of the United States Justice Department's effort to combat Chinese economic espionage. Appearing on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures, the Wisconsin senator — who won a third term in last week's midterms, defeating Democrat Mandela Barnes — was asked by host Maria Bartiromo about his expectations for President Biden's Monday meeting with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping.

Biden Says He's 'Making Sure' Trump Will Not Become President Again. Old Joe Biden, the ostensible president of the United States, on Wednesday held one of his Potemkin press conferences before the gathering of sycophants and propagandists known as the White House press corps. When a reporter said that Trump's movement was "still very strong," Biden laughed derisively and said, "Oh yeah?" He added, "Well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by — if we — if he does run. I'm making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next President again." How can he make sure of that? He didn't say, and of course the sycophants didn't ask.

America's Death Wish. Let's get real: The American people are electing the pols they deserve, demagogues who mirror the woke prejudices of an increasingly propagandized people. According to the media, "threats to democracy" constituted one of the top concerns of the people. How lame. Large segments of the American public clearly swallowed Joe Biden's self-serving malarkey on that subject whole. Never mind that Biden was clearly referring not to authentic threats to democracy but challenges to regnant liberalism. Biden is not afraid for democracy but afraid of it. He desires a one-party state. The relative success of the Democrats on Tuesday is a measure not of the public's rationality but of its submission to wokeness. Those in the 18 [to] 29 demographic voted for the Democrats overwhelmingly — a tribute not to their wisdom but to their lack of it. These voters entered the booth after receiving a warped education at colleges and universities swimming in wokeness. It is nearly impossible to impress upon this generation the dangers of liberalism. They simply shrug at any description of them.

Joe Biden Is Done — Get Ready for President Harris After Election Day. You may have noticed that Democrats only sent President Joe Biden to deep blue states leading up to Election Day. Despite these relatively safe assignments, he still managed to tell Americans he planned to shut down all coal plants and stop all drilling for oil. In between ranting about "Ultra MAGA" Republicans and threats to "our democracy," Doddering Joe sounded like he had marbles in his mouth, told HBCU students their school was just as good as any other college, and wrestled with his biggest enemy, the teleprompter. Meanwhile, the Democrats' stenographers in the legacy media have been issuing brutal fact-checks on Biden's closing message. [...] It can only mean one thing: Joe Biden will be the fall guy for the Democrats' poor performance, assuming election results surpass the margin of cheating. Here is how it will go. Sometime after the first of the year, Biden will resign for health reasons so that Democrats can claim the first minority female president before they get trounced in 2024. Nothing substantial will change policy-wise because Harris will not run the government any more than Biden has.

Report on the Biden Laptop. For the past thirteen months, Marco Polo — a nonprofit research group comprised of six men from across the U.S. dedicated to exposing corruption and blackmail — has been writing a comprehensive Report on the Biden Laptop and the crimes thereon. Our motives and budget were transparent; thousands of Americans financed its production. We neither sought nor received any institutional/corporate backing. We were delayed for various reasons, but finished the dossier for 35k under budget. At long last, the Report is complete. It has been sent to members of the U.S. House & U.S. Senate, U.S. attorneys for the jurisdictions in which the Bidens (and their associates) committed crimes, state and local law enforcement, and — for good measure — every contact on the Biden Laptop, which includes all of Hunter's classmates at Archmere Academy and a portion of the current White House staff.

Biden Vows to Legalize Nationwide Killing of Unborn Babies. Thirty-five years ago, Democratic Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, who was then serving as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, gave a speech explaining why he was going to vote against confirming Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court. [...] But last Sunday in New York, the man who cited his recognition of God-given rights in explaining his opposition to the confirmation of Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court declared once again that he intends to sign legislation declaring a nationwide right to abort unborn babies. "Look, here's the bottom line: If Republicans gain control of Congress and pass a nationwide ban on abortion, I will veto it," said Biden. "And if we elect — they give me two more Democrats in the Senate and we keep control of the House, we're going to codify Roe v. Wade in January and make it the law of the land." This is Biden's commitment: to sign a law that legalizes the mass killing of innocent human beings.

Report: Biden Boys Involved in Gambling South of the Border. Yet another scandal might engulf the already-disgraced Biden administration if the latest from the Daily Mail is true. Joe Biden was up to his wattles in an offshore gambling operation from which he stood to earn millions in profits — while he was vice president under President Barack Hussein Obama. Involved in the get-rich-quick scheme, which involved the government of Peru, were the late Senator Harry Reid of Nevada and his son, Key. The project never took off, the Mail reported, but Gamblin' Joe was involved nonetheless. The gambling operation was be at least the third major business scandal involving Biden and his son. [Tweet]

The Democrats' 'Chicken Little' Closing Argument. It is fitting, somehow, that President Joe Biden gave his final pitch at a nearly-deserted train station near the White House, a once-thriving venue now gutted by crime and homelessness. It is telling that no candidates wanted to be seen anywhere near him, fearing his unpopularity would slop over onto them. It is fitting that the station was surrounded by a homeless camp, finally cleared only because Biden was coming. Most telling of all is the speech's content, which focused exclusively on threats to democracy. Like his earlier prime-time speech in Philadelphia, it simply ignored all the kitchen-table issues driving voters into the Republican column this year: inflation, falling real wages, rising crime, a surge of illegal immigrants, and a major drug crisis, fueled by Mexican drug cartels coming across the open border.

Washington Post fact checks Biden and his lies: 'bottomless Pinocchio' of misleading claims. The Washington Post has its own "fact-checker" rating system using "Pinocchios." During the Trump administration, the Post created a new rating, the "bottomless Pinocchio," for claims given three Pinocchios. Glenn Kessler writes that President Joe Biden has "earned his own Bottomless Pinocchio" for statements about Social Security, gas prices and the Second Amendment, among others. The analysis also fact-checked the president's claim that seniors were getting an increase in their Social Security checks for the first time in 10 years. The White House also included this claim in a tweet that was deleted. "The reason Social Security payments are going up is because Social Security benefits, under a law passed in 1972, are adjusted every year to keep pace with inflation," the Post's analysis said.

Biden yells 'There is no more drilling!' just months after claiming he never shut down energy production. Is there any lie that's just too brazen for old Joe Biden? Seems not. [...] Biden has blamed Vladimir Putin, OPEC's barons, Big Oil, global warming, Republicans, and all other things he could think of for high prices at the pump. The one thing he won't do is consider what Americans can see with their own eyes: that before President Trump left office, gas prices were about $2 a gallon. Now they are $5 and $6 a gallon in California, and well above $3 a gallon in the rest of America. That's "lived experience." The clearest reason for that is Biden's policies to halt drilling. Back in January 2021, Biden signed off on an executive order dictating a ban of oil and gas drilling on federal lands. Fox News has a string of other bans and hamperings he's done to stop energy production and drive pump prices sky-high.

Biden Keeps Promising To Make Energy More Expensive. Believe Him. Yes, we're going to make energy more expensive. That's Joe Biden's closing message for 2022. "We're going to be shutting these [coal] plants down all across America and having wind and solar," Biden told a crowd in deep blue California on Friday, arguing that it was "cheaper" to generate electricity from wind and solar. Is it? In California, which not only leads the nation in "clean energy" production but is leading the rest of us into rolling blackouts, residents pay 24.62 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy, around double the national average. There are only three other states where residents fork 20 or more cents over, the isolated Hawaii and Alaska and the frack-banning New York. The price of a gallon of gas in California is around two dollars over the national average, at $5.458. In Texas, it's $3.173. The president also forgot to mention that affordable natural gas, propelled by technological efficiencies like fracking, is as much a reason for the struggles of coal.

Joe Biden: Historic Black Universities Are 'Just as Smart' as Other Colleges. President Joe Biden concluded his political rallies for the midterms at a historically black university in Maryland, telling students they were "just as smart" as other colleges in the United States. Biden defended the "historic" $5.8 billion in funding he budgeted for HBCUs as president. "HBCUs don't have the endowments others have, but guess what, you're just as smart, you're just as bright, you're just as good as any college in America," Biden said.

Biden Freaks out on Stage for Mysterious Reasons, Steps in It Big-Time Over Energy Policy. I feel like I say this in every piece I write on a Biden public appearance, but I'm at a loss. Did he get scared by his own shadow? I'm only half joking because even though we can't see the stage, it doesn't appear there was actually anything in his way. Later he walks in the same spot without issue. He seems genuinely startled at that moment, shouting "it's black" without any further explanation. It was weird, even by Biden's standards. "Great. Now we're getting 6 more weeks of recession," one Twitter user quipped in response, and I think that wins the day. The fact that the President of the United States has become a running punchline due to his senility is probably not a good thing, but we can at least have some fun in the meantime. [Video clip]

Joe Biden Goes Under the Bus Ahead of Schedule, and a New Contender Emerges. I've long made fun of CNN's Daniel Dale for his tepid fact-checks of Biden. Before this, they were few and far between and always loaded with qualifiers to try to explain away the president's falsehoods. This is something completely different, though, being a total takedown in a mold we haven't seen before. If you read the piece, it has no less than nine different, extensive corrections of Biden's recent lies, covering gas prices to social security. Dale's sudden turn isn't the only one taking place in the press either. Over the last week, we've seen both The New York Times and The Washington Post publish articles essentially saying that Biden can't be the 2024 nominee, something I've been suggesting for a long time. That all this is happening prior to election day is genuinely surprising.

It isn't a "failed presidency" if all this destruction is intentional.
Biden is gaslighting Americans about his failed presidency. The Biden Administration will be known to history for many things: an open border and its deadly consequences, the abandonment of Afghanistan, weakness that led to catastrophe in Europe, skyrocketing inflation, and the use of federal law enforcement to target political opponents. The catalog of infamy goes on. Above all, though, this administration may be remembered for its duplicity — its continual, shameless "gaslighting" of the American people. Biden, his team, and his sycophantic media supporters repeatedly tell us that "all is well" where it manifestly is not. No matter how bad things become in the nation, no matter how many people suffer, reality has no purchase on the ideological bubble of this White House. That is why, in these midterm elections, the American people must deliver to Joe Biden an unequivocal message: that they refuse to be gaslit, that they are not buying what he is selling.

Thank God For These Horrible Democrats. A fish rots from the head down, but in the case of Democrats that head is empty, or at least has forgotten where it is. Naturally, that head is on the scrawny neck of Joe Biden, a man so untrustworthy that it says "hello" you have to suspect he's leaving. What kind of person thinks claiming "Ultra MAGA is a threat to the country" is a good strategy? "MAGA" stands for "Make America Great Again," which if you're pretending to like the country is rather difficult to demonize. Then again, Biden leads the party that has "America was never great" as a guaranteed applause line on the campaign trail, so nothing should surprise us. In a last-ditch effort to save his worthless presidency, Biden declared the act of engaging in democracy to be a threat to it should the public dare vote against the wishes of Democrats. [...] The idea of declaring one of the two possible election outcomes to be invalid before any votes are counted should bother the people who claim to wake up screaming about "threats to democracy."

Is Biden's Real Problem, Senility or Leftism? The Biden administration disaster can be put down to 1 part senility and 4 parts leftist insanity. What else could explain doing this before a crucial election in a coal state where the Dems are struggling on energy issues? ["]Biden made the comments on Friday when discussing energy, stating that coal plants cost too much to operate and advocated for renewables as an eventual replacement. 'No one is building new coal plants because they can't rely on it,' Biden said. "Even if they have all the coal guaranteed for the rest of the existence of the plant.' 'So it's going to become a wind generation,' Biden added. 'And all they're doing is, it's going to save them [...] a lot of money and using the same transmission line that they transmitted the coal-fired electric on. We're going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar power.'["] Why? That's the obvious question that comes to mind. The message isn't new, but the timing is spectacularly bad.

Biden Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About Climate Change And His Handlers Are Trying To Save The Situation. In a move that surely had his tapioca dealers talking themselves back from the ledge, the President stated that they would be shutting down coal-fired power plants 'across America'. West Virginia may be the first state that comes to mind when one thinks of coal country, but Pennsylvania is a close second and is home to one of the key senate races of this election. Democrat senate hopeful, Fetterman, was likely stunned by Biden's recklessness ... and her husband probably was too.

Senator Joe Manchin Pretends to be Surprised That Joe Biden is Banning Coal Powered Energy. Yesterday, Joe Biden declared that all coal-fired electricity plants in the U.S would be shut down, saying, "we're going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar." Today, West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin, the senator who gave Joe Biden the vote he needed for the 'inflation reduction act' also known as the climate change investment act that will eliminate all oil, coal and natural gas development, pretends to act surprised that Joe Biden will destroy the West Virginia coal mining industry.

This kind of back-pedaling might have worked before videotape was invented, but not today.
KJP Claims Biden's Exact Words on Coal Are Being 'Twisted'. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre released a statement Saturday afternoon in an effort to walk back President Joe Biden's remarks Friday. During a campaign stop in California, Biden said, "We're gonna be shutting these plants down all across America, and having wind and solar." Jean-Pierre claims Biden's words, which have simply been quoted and replayed, are being "twisted."

The Editor says...
Biden said what he said. A quote is not a twist.

Fact check: Biden's midterms message includes false and misleading claims. President Joe Biden has been back on the campaign trail, traveling in October and early November to deliver his pitch for electing Democrats in the midterm elections on Tuesday. Biden's pitch has included claims that are false, misleading or lacking important context. [...]

Angry, Creepy, Cowardly Joe. Wow. Angry, creepy, sleepy Dementia Joe gave another one of his atrocious Sieg heil! speeches on Wednesday blaming MAGA Republicans for his failures, and the wannabe tyrant could not have come off more revolting. If his imbecilic ranting had any strategic objective, it got lost (much like Biden) in the disgustingly un-American backwash frothing from his vitriol. He sounded like some mad-hatted, off-kilter offspring of Stalin, Hillary Clinton, and a caca-throwing howler monkey. It is a wonder that he refrained from calling for public MAGA executions right then and there! Our mentally-challenged, child-grooming, puppet dictator was clearly going for the dumb, pervy, pro-gulag vote with a mindless diatribe meant to do nothing but threaten and divide Americans. As has evidently become official U.S. government policy, Slow-Joe's speech consisted of nothing but vilification, calumny, and lies. He tried to paint the hammer-wielding commie Castro nudist who Houdini-ed his way past security to invade Paul Pelosi's personal space as a card-carrying member of Team Trump, yet the absurdity of turning a far-left, drug-addled hippy into a MAGA mascot was far too removed from reality to resemble anything but flagrant propaganda. The speech (such as it was) went downhill from there. It was evil MAGA did this, insurrection that, democracy is hanging by a thread, Oceania must defeat Eurasia — regurgitated gibberish all!

Who has really been running our country? On the day that Joe Biden was sworn into office, he signed dozens of extensively radical executive orders. Then the Biden administration began populating the federal government and the federal Judiciary — including the new Supreme Court vacancy — with hundreds (probably thousands) of the most extreme anti-American people imaginable. [...] All of this destruction is being attributed by our political establishment to a man with obvious dementia who can barely read through a single sentence on a teleprompter, can't remember names, and cannot discuss anything of substance. Republicans and conservatives love to beat up on Joe Biden. It makes great campaign fundraising rhetoric. But nobody can possibly believe that Biden in his perpetual mental fog actually planned any of this, wrote any of it, ordered it, or even knows any details about it.

Biden's Rhetoric is a Threat to the Republic. The only good thing about this speech is that it didn't have a color scheme out of V for Vendetta and didn't feature Marines in the background. Whoever runs these things at least learned from that attempt at looking like Biden was about to declare martial law, suspend habeas corpus and make everyone read Gender Queer and How To Be An Anti-Racist at gunpoint in a gulag. The bad news is no one cared about that speech except conservatives. They care even less about this one. With the countdown underway, voters have made it clear that they care about the economy and crime. Anyone who finds the "threat to democracy" routine persuasive is already a solid blue voter and ActBlue donor who probably showed up for at least one D.C. protest. This isn't just pandering to the base, it's pandering to the Elizabeth Warren base.

Democrats Turn 2022 Into '1984'. Politicians dissemble without shame — which, ironically, is why they constantly invoke their own honor and allegiance to the truth. Still, Biden's latest string of whoppers — that gas prices were sky high and the economy was in the tank when he took office, that he convinced the Congress to pass student loan relief, that he's a deficit hawk who has secured the border, that his son, Beau, died in Iraq — are so obviously false that it's hard to believe even a politician in his right mind would make such claims. That he is the president of the United States, leader of the free world, makes this behavior especially troubling. And yet, those relatively small deceptions, so easily fact-checked and debunked, are the least of our problems because they do not simply reveal the partisan instincts of one softening mind. They also reflect the freedom Democrats and their leftist allies now feel to redefine reality itself by advancing their own array of Big Lies which are dividing and inflaming our country.

Fact-Checking 5 Biden Warnings About Dangers to Democracy. President Joe Biden warned that democracy was in peril and on the ballot during a primetime speech Wednesday from Union Station in Washington, D.C., near Capitol Hill. Biden referenced the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, and talked several times about former President Donald Trump. He also said that political violence is on the rise.

Biden: saying the same thing louder. What do you do when nobody cares what you are saying? When they even hate the sound of your voice? If you are an attention starved brat — or a Democrat these days — you scream louder and louder and hope that screeching sound will make the crowd turn around and listen. Joe Biden did his share of (metaphorical) screaming last night in what was a repetitive, poorly written, and clearly panicked speech last night.

Biden ridiculed for 'despicable' speech on 'threat' to democracy: 'What delusion looks like'. Conservatives ridiculed President Biden's "despicable" Wednesday speech in which he warned midterm voters of the threats to democracy ahead of Election Day. During his last address before the balance of power would be decided in Washington D.C., Biden pleaded with Americans to vote against Republicans, accusing them of being election deniers and MAGA extremists who have encouraged political violence, promoted former President Donald Trump's "Big Lie" about the 2020 election and engaged in voter intimidation. Rather than focusing on the main issues voters are most concerned about, namely rampant inflation and other economic woes, Biden's speech pointed the finger at his political opponents. He noted the assault against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, decrying the violence and misinformation supposedly fostered by extremist Republicans.

Biden Says We Won't Know the Results of the Midterm Election Until Days After Polls Close November 8th. It would appear that national democrats are setting the stage for fraudulent ballot collection again. During his insufferable remarks today about Democracy vs. Autocracy, a speech fraught with cognitive dissonance, Joe Biden proactively warns Americans that the results from the midterm election will not be known until days after the election takes place. [Video clip]

Biden's riot act falls flat. Joe Biden wanted to give a stirring speech to rouse Americans to angry purpose about the threats to democracy represented by "election deniers" running for office across the country. He was, according to CNN's reporting, spurred to action by the horrible attack last week on the husband of the speaker of the House, which Biden believes is a direct result of Donald Trump's effect on the United States over the past seven years. So ... that's what he wanted. But, as the great philosopher Mick Jagger once said, you can't always get what you want. The address he delivered Wednesday night wasn't a forceful speech. It was a forceless speech. Biden didn't appeal passionately to the better angels of our nature because there was no energy behind his words.

Is a 25th Amendment removal in Joe Biden's future? Claims that President Trump was not mentally fit for the job and needed to be removed from office began in earnest right after his inauguration in 2017. By January 2018, questions about Trump's "mental fitness for the heavy duties of the presidency" nudged him to ask his doctor to administer a cognitive test. Members of Congress even requested the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service to provide an overview of the 25th Amendment's history, purpose and process for removing a president. In December 2019, 350 psychiatrists and other mental health professionals signed a petition during the Democrats' first impeachment fiasco claiming Trump's mental health was rapidly deteriorating. [...] Biden's issues are substantively different. We frequently see him, after he has delivered a speech, wander off as if he doesn't know where he is or where he's supposed to go. Someone hurries over and takes his arm and points him in the right direction. At times he's lucid and in control, but at other times he seems baffled and confused. [...] If that is indeed mental decline we're seeing, it will likely get worse. So how would a 25th Amendment removal work?

Biden Ignores Issues People Care About in Primetime Speech, Focuses on January 6 and 'Election Deniers'. Instead of focusing on something, anything, that the vast majority of Americans care about, Joe Biden delivered a primetime speech Wednesday night that was yet another disgusting display of using his office to characterize those who disagree with him politically as a "threat to democracy" and to tell voters that they must vote for the Democrat party in the upcoming election or our very existence as a country is in peril. Of course, the major focus of Biden's remarks was January 6 and the 2020 election. You've heard his comments ad nauseam, and that's probably why they were included in this speech — they're comments his people can count on him to pretty reliably deliver.

Biden urges voters to rebuke political violence by backing Democrats. President Biden urged Democrats on Wednesday [11/2/2022] to show up at the polls during next week's midterm elections or "allow the dark forces that thirst for power" to chip away at American democracy. Biden urged a crowd of supporters at a Democratic National Committee event inside Union Station in Washington, D.C. not to take the election for granted. The president argued that Democrats had to show up at the polls because Republicans could not be entrusted with political power. "We're facing a defining moment," said Biden. "We must with one overwhelming, unified voice speak, as a country and say there's no place for voter intimidation or political violence in America."

Biden Gives Tired, Lie Filled Closing Argument as Dems Stare Down a Red Wave. President Joe Biden made his way to crime ridden Union Station in Washington D.C. Wednesday night. It was a previously unscheduled trip put on the Democratic National Committee and a last ditch effort to convince voters Trump Republicans and democracy are "on the ballot" next Tuesday. [Tweet] "In our bones we know democracy is at risk," Biden claimed. [Tweet] During his remarks, which were made without glaring communist red lights and U.S. Marines standing the background, Biden made a number of references to January 6 and the nudist attack on Paul Pelosi. He then oddly attempted to portray himself and Democrats as unifiers interested in getting along with their political opponents. [Tweet]

The Fix Is In: Joe Bidens Warns Americans Several Races Will Not Be Called for Several Days After the Election So "Be Patient". In an unprecedented move, Joe Biden used the Office of the President to smear Republicans just days before the 2022 midterm election. It was 25 straight minutes of attacks on President Trump, Republicans, MAGA supporters, and the American people. This was Joe Biden's attempt to move the needle before the elections next week. At one point during his speech, Joe Biden warned Americans that it will take several days to call the elections.

Reaction to Biden's Speech About 'Democracy'. Dear Mr. President, First of all, the United States of America is not a democracy. [Indeed], that is Civics 101. America is a republic. It was designed as a republic because the framers knew that democracies could easily descend into mob rule. That includes mobs you like. More on that later. Secondly, the man who attacked Paul Pelosi is a mentally ill drug addict whose interests and intentions were all over the map. I don't see you shedding any tears for the people who face these lunatics every single day on city streets. But your people found enough to get back on the MAGA horse. Speaking of that, and mobs... Third, no one is buying "MAGA Republicans" anymore. You've ridden said horse into the ground. It's dead. Leave it be. It was not the vast majority of Republicans who stormed the Capitol on January 6. It wasn't even the majority of people at the rally. But you just can't leave it alone. [...]

Joe Biden: Democracy Itself at Stake if You Vote for Republicans in the Midterms. President Joe Biden again warned on Wednesday of Republicans taking power in the midterm elections, arguing the "very soul of America itself" was in danger. "We the people must decide whether the rule of law will prevail or whether we will allow the dark forces and ... thirst for power put ahead of the principles that have long guided us," Biden said during a speech delivered inside Union Station.

Joe Biden Said 'Democracy' 37 Times in [a] 20-Minute Address. President Joe Biden uttered the word "democracy" 37 times in a 20-minute speech on Wednesday that seemed to be his final pitch to American voters to vote for Democrats in next week's midterm elections. Biden's speech cautioned against letting Republicans take power after the midterm election, arguing that the "very soul of America itself" is on the line. Biden's speech came amid projections from analysts who expect Republicans to regain the majority in the House and U.S. Senate. Additionally, Democrats are playing defense in several districts Biden carried by significant margins in 2020.

Joe Biden is decomposing right before our eyes. Currently, Democrat hopes of retaining the House and gaining in the Senate are circling the drain. Therefore, party leaders have apparently decided that trotting Biden out now for campaign appearances can't cause any more harm and might even help some candidates. That's probably a miscalculation. The last couple of days has revealed that Biden's brain is decomposing even as his body lives on. On the mic, in real-time, he's telling lies, fictionalizing his own life, and spewing unintelligible nonsense. Meanwhile, his White House put out an economic tweet so vile that, thanks to Elon Musk's new Twitter policies, the White House was quickly forced to pull it. I quickly realized when traversing the internet today that there was no single Biden gaffe, lie, or rambling that deserved its own post. Instead, it's the collective weight of all those moments that deserves attention. Biden is no longer capable of performing in public.

America Is On The Cusp Of A Fundamental Transformation. No matter how bad Obama's actions while in office, nothing he did compares to Joe Biden. Since being installed as president, Biden has done an insane number of things that simply make no sense from a rational perspective. Literally the first thing Biden did was reduce the amount of energy available to Americans. He canceled completing the Keystone XL Pipeline which would have brought more Canadian oil. Soon thereafter, the administration threw up roadblocks to domestic oil production both offshore and on federal lands. First, they curtailed new leases and "reviewed" existing ones. Later, when they backed off from a complete ban, they instituted a virtual ban, which included increasing fees and other elements to make extraction more expensive for energy companies and everything more expensive for Americans.

Biden to deliver unscheduled DNC speech at Union Station near Capitol. President Biden will deliver remarks on "preserving and protecting our democracy" at a Democratic National Committee event in Washington, D.C., White House officials and the DNC said Wednesday. The president is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. ET at the Columbus Club in Union Station, where he will address "the threat of election deniers and those who seek to undermine faith in voting and democracy," according to a DNC advisory.

Back to the Carter economy. The latest edition of "Joe Biden: Bad Ideas" came yesterday when Biden stepped up his attacks on Big Oil and suggested that unless they lower prices he would push to implement a Windfall Profits Tax on the companies, essentially seizing their profits as a punishment for making money. Such taxes are notoriously idiotic, and even the dimwits in the White House must know that. It seems like Biden is trying to ruin the economy, and we have hit the point where we have to actually consider that to be a possibility. Everything he has done to the economy has made things worse, and after a while you have to consider whether it is intentional.

Remember, Joe Biden claims to be a devout Catholic.
Joe Biden Gives Planned Parenthood $17 Million to Kill Babies in Abortions. Joe Biden's administration awarded almost $17 million in taxpayer-funded grants this year to the billion-dollar abortion chain Planned Parenthood. According to Live Action News, the nation's largest abortion company received the money through the Title X family planning program under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Another $25.5 million from the program went to other pro-abortion groups, the news outlet discovered. Title X funds are not supposed to be used for abortions. The program provides family planning services to low-income individuals, and the law states that Title X grants may not be used "where abortion is a method of family planning." However, Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion business in the U.S., has been one of the biggest recipients of Title X for years.

Biden Isn't A Gaffe Machine — He's A Malfunctioning Machine. The issues abound — a stiff, rigid forearmed, gait, literally blanking out during interviews, clear spatial disorientation, whispering to tell audiences "a secret" as you would with a four-year-old nephew before you gave them a quarter (or asked them to pull your finger,) inappropriate flashes of anger, utter dependence upon others for help walking, let alone while chewing gum, and talking, and the wandering off and the slurring and the incomprehensibility and the off-topic references to events from years ago and the eyes and the forgetting and the fog. It all adds up not to "oops!" but to a mentally and physically disabled person being propped up by a coterie of handlers for their own benefit. It all adds up to elder abuse. But I'm not a doctor you say? I don't need a weatherman to know it's raining out.

Joe Biden Claims He Personally Spoke to the Man Who Invented Insulin. Joe Biden traveled to Hollandale, Florida to talk about Social Security, Medicare and lowering prescription drug prices. Biden claimed he personally spoke to the man who invented insulin.

81 Million Votes! Joe Biden Can't Fill Up Small College Gym at Florida Rally. Joe Biden traveled to Florida Memorial University on Tuesday for a rally with Democrats Charlie Crist and Val Demings. [...] Basement Joe Biden can't fill a small college gym. [...] The FMU student-athletes are excited for Joe Biden for some reason. Apparently, they don't buy their own gas.

Joe Biden Gives Florida Democrats Nightmares During Disastrous 'Rally the Troops' Speech. Very early on during the rally, it was clear that the Democrats in attendance were about as enthusiastic as a wet mop. Below, we see Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a former DNC chair, begging the crowd to show some spirit ahead of Biden's arrival. She wasn't very successful: [Video clips] [...] Not only was this speech a classic Joe Biden fail, it was also a handler fail. What sane aide in his administration would send a guy to a state where he is not only deeply unpopular, but which has a state party that can't get it together — to the point that not even national Democratic groups want to spend a lot of money on any type of meaningful broadcast, digital, and ground games for any of its candidates?

Biden Tells Black College Students He 'Got His Start' at 'Historically Black College' Delaware State University. He Didn't. He Went to University of Delaware. Joe Biden on Tuesday evening campaigned for Democrat duds Charlie Crist and Val Demings at Florida Memorial University in Miami. Biden told the black students at Florida Memorial University, a HBCU (Historically Black College) that he 'got his start' at HBCU Delaware State University. Joe Biden went to the University of Delaware.

What's Going on With Joe Biden's Hand? Joe Biden was at a reception for Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist in Golden Beach, Florida, on Tuesday. That followed a nightmare rally with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), which had all kinds of issues — as we reported [...] — in a festival of confusion, including saying his son died in Iraq, forgetting what FEMA stands for, confusing Iraq and Ukraine, and claiming he spoke with the "inventor of insulin." [...] There's been a lot of speculation in the past about Biden getting medicine to help him. But Joe Biden has not said anything in that regard. Joe Biden and John Fetterman seem to have a lot in common. They both have cognition issues (for different reasons), and they both aren't forthcoming about what is involved in those issues. But this is — once again — raising those questions, and now many are calling on the Biden team to explain what the marks are. Some have speculated that it was related to medicine for Biden's cognitive problems.

Few Democratic Candidates Want Biden Or Harris To Campaign With Them. Usually, the final month of a midterm election is a hectic one for the president of the United States. Barack Obama, for instance, made 22 campaign-related trips in October 2010 in a futile effort to stem losses in his first midterm election — Democrats lost 63 House seats and control of the chamber. President Joe Biden, in comparison, made just eight last month and has little on his schedule for the final week of campaigning. The problem: Next to nobody wants Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris to appear on stage with them.

Brilliant incentive, Joe. Cheap gas is sure to follow.
Biden threatens higher taxes on oil companies if they do not work to lower gas prices. President Joe Biden threatened Monday to pursue higher taxes on oil company profits if industry giants do not work to cut gas prices. Biden has criticized oil companies that have made record-high profits as consumers struggle to keep up with high gas prices. The price of a gallon of gas was $3.76 on Monday, according to AAA, down from a record of over $5 in June but still higher than a year ago. "Their profits are a windfall of war," Biden said, referring to Russia's war in Ukraine, which prompted Western sanctions that reduced oil supply. "It's time for these companies to stop their war profiteering." "If they don't they're going to pay a higher tax on their excess profits," he said.

See no evil on Joe Biden's China links. To announce charges in three cases against foreign operatives working in the United States, Justice Department officials held a press conference last week that recalled the Red Scare days of the 1950s. This time, the alleged Communist evil doers are Chinese, not Russians. Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI director Christopher Wray and others adopted a striking anti-China tone in describing a level of venality. They are willing to "lie, cheat and steal their way to dominance," Wray said, pointing to criminal cases involving agriculture, academia, green technology and governments. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, citing evidence that bribes were offered to obtain inside information about Justice's investigation of Huawei, the Chinese telecommunications giant, said the case "shows the interconnection between ... intelligence officers and Chinese companies."

Jill Biden campaigns for struggling Dems as Joe spends weekend at home. Jill Biden is pounding the pavement in two different states this weekend to boost embattled Dems days before the crucial Nov. 8 midterm elections — while her husband, President Biden, takes it easy at their Delaware home. The first lady's role as a campaign surrogate has grown this election season as some Democrats seek to keep the president, and his poor 43% approval rating, at arm's length. On Saturday, the first lady was in New Hampshire, where she's assisting Sen. Maggie Hassan, a first-term Democrat sweating out an increasingly competitive race against GOP challenger Don Bolduc.

Citizens call on D.C. police to investigate Biden's pedophilia. (Natural News) Joe Biden just cannot stop sniffing underage children and making highly inappropriate comments about them in front of reporters, prompting calls for an investigation into the fake "president." Police in Washington, D.C., say they are receiving increasingly more calls requesting a probe into Biden, who has an extensive history of pedophilic behavior and statements throughout his career. At a recent campaign event in Irvine, Calif., for instance, Biden was seen creeping up on a visibly uncomfortable young girl from behind while whispering to her his favorite line: "Now, a very important thing I told my daughters and granddaughters — no serious guys until you're 30!" The child, who clearly did not want the Pedophile-in-Chief groping and whispering his rambles into her ear, responded with: "Okay, I'll keep that in mind." As this was happening, Biden was visibly seen intoxicating himself with her smell, which he has done to many young women over the years — most of them underage.

Biden falsely says the price of gas was more than $5 when he took office (when it was $2.39). President Joe Biden touted U.S. manufacturing gains Thursday on a trip to Syracuse — where he claimed gas prices were down compared to when he took office, when in fact they are higher. 'We're down $1.25 Since the peak this summer, and they've been falling for the last three weeks as well as well, and adding up real savings for families today,' Biden said. 'The most common price of gas in America is $3.39 down from over $5 When I took office,' he continued. The average cost of a gallon of gas on the AAA site was $3.76 Thursday. When he took office, it was averaging $2.39 — or about half what he said it was then — according to the Energy Information Institute.

Joe Biden [is] implicated in [a] half-dozen white collar crimes, including tax evasion. (Natural News) For years we have suspected that Joe Biden was intricately wrapped up in his debased son's criminal activities, and now a new report has confirmed those suspicions. A lengthy report issued by Marco Polo, a watchdog group founded by a former Trump administration official, stated that the current president of the United States is implicated in at least a half-dozen crimes, including tax evasion. The report "details accusations of 459 crimes allegedly committed by Hunter including prostitution offenses, distribution and possession of drugs, defrauding government agencies, illegal foreign lobbying and money laundering," the UK's Daily Mail reported.

This has been obvious for at least a year:
Joe Biden's Wife Jill [is] Secretly Working Behind The Scenes At [the] White House. President Joe Biden's bossy wife Jill is playing "puppet master" behind the scenes at the White House and has taken a more commanding role in his administration as his cognitive abilities continue to decline, RadarOnline.com has learned. "Jill's always been totally protective of Joe since the earliest days of his presidency helping to vet White House staffers before they're hired and lending advice and counsel when it's needed," said one political insider. "But lately she's obviously been running the show with her husband's mental state in greater and greater question. Key presidential duties are falling to Jill, and she's been stepping up and taking more on her plate. Sometimes, she even acts in her husband's stead when it seems he is unable to!"

Biden Gets Blasted for Racist Comment About Airline Seats. We're just under two weeks to the midterm election. You would think that Joe Biden — as the alleged "leader" of the Democratic Party would be going all-in for all of the Democratic candidates. However, most of the candidates — wisely — don't seem to want him to be anywhere near them as they struggle to distance themselves from the failed policies of Biden and the Democratic Party, particularly when it comes to inflation, the most important issue for most Americans.

The 634-page report on Hunter Biden's laptop — and 459 alleged crimes. Right-wing nonprofit research group Marco Polo finally has published its Hunter Biden laptop opus, a thorough forensic examination of every document on the first son's notorious MacBook computer that he abandoned in a Delaware repair shop in April 2019. The 634-page report (plus 2,020 footnotes) lists six alleged crimes committed by Joe Biden — including tax evasion and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) — alongside 459 crimes it alleges were committed by Hunter, including illegal foreign lobbying and money laundering. The group's firebrand founder Garrett Ziegler, a 26-year-old former deputy to Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro, has sent the report to more than 4,000 people, including every member of the House and Senate, White House staff, US Attorney offices and every contact on the laptop. He also sent a copy to every one of Hunter's former classmates in the class of 1988 at the tony Archmere Academy in Delaware.

Biden Wants Your Kids to Be Gender-Transitioned Whether You Like It or Not. President Joe Biden wants your children to make life-changing gender transitions, and the only reason you want to stop him is bigotry and fear. At least, so he says. In a NowThis media roundtable aired Sunday, Biden discussed issues of the day with progressive activists and social media personalities. Most notable was his interview with transgender TikTok celebrity Dylan Mulvaney, a biological male who is transitioning to "girlhood." In the interview, Biden said state attempts to restrict gender transitions are immoral and based on "fear." He was asked if states had the right to place restrictions on "gender-affirming care," as the Left likes to call hormone therapy and reconstructive surgeries. "I don't think any state or anybody should have the right to do that. As a moral question or as a legal question, I just think it's wrong," the president said in response.

Hunter Biden's 'flirty' Chinese secretary who urged 'Uncle Joe' to run is new GOP focus. First son Hunter Biden's "flirty" former secretary JiaQi "Jackie" Bao, who pushed for "Uncle Joe" Biden to run for president and has been linked to the Chinese government, is the focus of a new House Republican inquiry into the first family's extensive overseas business dealings. Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, demanded information Wednesday from FBI Director Christopher Wray on the Biden family's links to Bao while Hunter and his uncle James Biden raked in $4.8 million from Chinese government-linked CEFC China Energy in 2017 and 2018.

Joe Biden's Senility Is Getting Worse. Joe's downfall may seem like it's been a long time coming, but it really hasn't been. If you think back on his career in politics, he's always been a liar and he's always lied about his own life. For someone with all the opportunities in the world to create a large footprint in history for himself, Joe Biden hasn't done anything worth noting. Honestly, his Senate career was almost completely devoid of accomplishments. The 1994 crime bill is about it, and he barely played a role in that. You really have to wonder what the people of Delaware were thinking when they kept sending Forrest Gump back to Washington. The only things he was known for in the Senate were being on the Judiciary Committee and trying to smear Clarence Thomas (and failing) and being on the Foreign Relations Committee and being on the exact wrong side of every foreign policy issue in his lifetime. You couldn't be more worthless than Joe if you tried. His main problem was that he's dumb. But, like AOC now, he is also incredibly arrogant, so there's no telling him anything since he knows it all. Ignorance coupled with arrogance leads to a Mr. Magoo mentality of simply walking through life without ever noticing the destruction caused by you in your wake. This is Joe Biden.

How Do You Successfully Lie To 300 Million People. Joe Biden is a pathological liar. That's easy to prove. Just about every public statement that he's made is an outright lie. His claims about his law school career and standing were false. He claimed to have marched during the civil rights movement — a lie. He's lied repeatedly, boldly about Hunter's corrupt business dealings, and his intimate relationship to them. He's spent 47 years stacking lie upon lie, building a colossal monument to his depravity and to the public's gullibility. Biden lied about COVID, the efficacy of the "vaccine," the necessity of lockdowns, and the utility of masks. He's lying about the border crisis, and how it will deform our Republic. He and his administration are lying about inflation — a trip to the grocery store or gas pump will prove that lie. He and his stooges continue to lie about January 6th, in particular about three police officers who were killed that day — a tragedy that never actually occurred. Recently, he lied about how his son Beau died, claiming he was killed in Iraq when, in fact, he died of brain cancer at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in 2009. You may be tempted to give Biden a pass on that bizarre statement, but Biden is speaking out of the dark and twisted lair that is his soul — a lifetime of lies is now manifesting itself through his dementia.

Our President[!] Explains. President Biden's daycare minders in the White House had a project with high degree of difficulty to complete yesterday. They were required to put their heads together and come up with an explanation of Biden's belief that Congress had enacted the student loan giveaway he promulgated by royal decree. You see, Biden doesn't know what he is saying or doing. How could his minders explain it? It wasn't easy. Someone running the show slipped a note to Jacqui Heinrich of FOX News. Hey, he was thinking of the fraudulently titled Inflation Reduction Act when he referred to his loan giveaway. It could happen to anyone. And the note slipped to Heinrich required a killer correction. For "millions" read "billions." [Tweet]

Biden's Destroying the Economy. Is It Intentional? Everywhere I go, people are mystified about President Joe Biden's economic agenda. So few of the policies comport with basic common sense that I'm asked the same question over and over: Is Biden intentionally trying to take a wrecking ball to the economy? Is this all part of some diabolical plan, the "great reset," to end our system of free market capitalism and replace it with some form of big government socialism? Biden keeps saying that he wants to be a historic president who will "transition" the country into a new worker's paradise where no one uses fossil fuels or electricity or cars and equality is paramount, ahead of growth and prosperity. Is he taking us there with no regard for the collateral damage to America?

Biden Embraces America's Fiercest Enemies: Whose Side Is He On? Saudi Arabia was once considered America's No. 1 friend and ally in the Arab world. Since President Joe Biden came to power, however, US-Saudi relations have rapidly deteriorated. The recent OPEC+ decision to cut oil production and the Biden administration's subsequent verbal attack on Saudi Arabia have seen the crisis between Washington and Riyadh reach new heights, with many Saudis launching unprecedented criticism of the Biden administration and its foreign policies. The Saudis believe that the Biden administration's hostility towards Saudi Arabia is the result of the influence of far-left US politicians who have infiltrated the Democratic Party.

Joe Biden Pushing to Limit Gun Owners to 'Eight Bullets in a Round'. President Joe Biden told NowThis News during a Sunday interview that he is pushing to limit gun owners to having no more than "eight bullets in a round." Natalie Barden, whose brother was killed in the December 14, 2012, Sandy Hook Elementary School attack, urged Biden to "address 'high capacity' magazines" and asked what he is currently do to limit those magazines. Biden responded by saying he is going to push to ban 'assault weapons' after the midterm elections and urged people to vote for Democrats in order to secure the ban.

Hunter Biden's Laptop Documents At Least 459 Legal Violations, Watchdog Group Says. A year-long exploration of Hunter Biden's laptop has yielded a 630-page report that its authors say document 459 violations of state and federal laws and regulations by President Joe Biden's son and his business partners. Marco Polo, a nonprofit formed by a one-time aide to former President Trump to enable a team of cyber gumshoes to take a deep dive into the laptop that the crack-addled Biden left at a Delaware repair store, claims the report is a road map for local, state, or federal prosecutors to pursue charges. The group also sent its report to each member of Congress. The timing of the report's release, coming two weeks before the midterm elections, has a certain symmetry to the laptop's initial introduction to the public. In 2020, days before the election, the New York Post published news of the laptop's existence, as well as bombshells from it, but social media suppressed the story after the FBI had warned companies of so-called misinformation. This time around, the timing is similar, but other factors are reversed.

Here's proof Biden knows his student loan bailout is illegal. Basically, in order to sue, you have to have been directly harmed by the program. And, on paper, it's hard to see who is harmed by the bailout because, unfortunately, just generally being a taxpayer whose money is being illegally wasted is not considered sufficient justification to bring a lawsuit. So, for a while, it seemed that even though Biden's plan was glaringly constitutionally suspect, nobody would be able to challenge it in court, meaning it wouldn't be struck down even if it was unconstitutional. Thankfully, various right-of-center plaintiffs have come up with creative ways to challenge the plan in court. One such lawsuit that has emerged is a suit by six states claiming that their finances would be harmed by Biden's bailout because they're heavily invested in private companies that service loans and will take a big hit from the president's cancellation initiative.

Cancel This. President Biden premised his cancelation or forgiveness of student loans of up to $20,000 per person on "the financial harms of the pandemic." However, a Wall Street Journal editorial duly noted that "the government had halted student loan payments since 2020, holding borrowers harmless. A month before he declared the pandemic 'over,' Biden extended that student loan pause through Dec. 31." Biden's "plan," as he calls it, is blatantly unconstitutional. It's not unfair to say that everything about it is wrong. The only question is whether any party has legal standing to challenge it. Indeed, Biden has altered the "plan" since the original announcement to exacerbate the standing issue for possible challengers. At last word, the estimated cost of the plan was $400 billion.

Joe Biden Accidentally Reveals That He Doesn't Have A Clue About Guns. The Biden administration's plans on gun control are really bad and instead of addressing the real underlying problems when it comes to gun violence, President Biden is pushing politically divisive measures that could seriously damage our right to keep and bear arms without making the nation any safer. [...] Remember, Biden is a lawyer, as he's so often reminded us. He's supposed to have some basic understanding of the law and how to address it. For the life of me, I don't understand why the White House staffers who control Biden continue to put him in these kinds of positions. I suspect the president is stubborn enough to demand his voice be heard, but when being heard constantly leads to stuff like this, it's best to be quiet. That's a lesson Biden has not and obviously will not learn — before he finally heads to his Delaware beach house for good instead of just four days a week.

In a Zone. Is President Biden running for reelection? "I have not made that formal decision but it's my intention ... to run again and we'll have time to make that decision," Biden told MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart in an "exclusive interview" that must have been premised on an agreement not to ask difficult questions. "Dr. Biden is for it?" Capehart asked. Patrick Reilly observes in his New York Post story — "Earth to Joe" — that Capehart's follow-up question "was met with a long, awkward silence as Biden appeared to glance toward the floor in the sit-down interview that aired Friday night." I would say "as Biden appeared to zone out." Maybe it was the difficulty of processing "Dr. Biden."

Long knives are out for Joe Biden post-midterms, but Biden says Jill and dead son Beau want him to run again. If Joe Biden disgusts us with stubborn willingness to sacrifice the entire economy for the sake of his greenie, open-borders, big-spending, agenda, note that Democrats have it in for him, too. For Democrats, their logic is that Joe has sacrificed their political power for the sake of his greenie, open-borders, big-spending agenda. They cite 'inflation,' forgetting that they were the ones who enacted the big spending that triggered the inflation and Joe embraced, and somehow, Joe hasn't magically stopped it. For them, this is simple:&Nbsp; angry voters at midterms about to destroy their party's majority in the House and Senate, so Joe is going to pay for it. Several news stories suggest that Biden is being set up to become the fall guy in the aftermath of the midterm wipeout that's coming for their party, he may well know it.

Biden: 'I Don't Know Where I'm Going... I Get Told'. President Joe Biden was asked several times on Thursday about his limited appearances with Democrat candidates, who apparently don't see Biden as a campaign asset. One reporter asked Biden if he has any plans to campaign in Nevada or Georgia in the coming weeks: "Both the congressmen asked me to go out," Biden said. (He apparently was referring to Democrat Senators Raphael Warnock of Georgia and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, who find themselves in close races.) "I don't know if I'm going to be able to get out in Nevada. And in Georgia, they asked me to come down. We're trying to work it out now," Biden said.

Biden's Diesel Fuel Supply Crisis Could Soon Cripple America in Ways Never Before Seen. Oil prices and President Joe Biden's continued draining of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) have dominated the headlines over the past few weeks, but analysts say a more impactful and serious crisis on the energy front looms: a diesel fuel shortage. Diesel doesn't get as much of the limelight as oil and gas, but it should because diesel fuel is the industrial lifeblood of the United States, and the price of diesel alone probably has a more significant impact on inflation and the prices you're paying at the grocery store over any other factor. Without ample amounts of diesel, semi-trucks don't move, farms are shut down, and critical manufacturing sectors are crippled.

Unmitigated gall of Joe Biden claiming that he 'lowered' debt. In a remarkable feat of gaslighting, the president held a press conference Friday bragging about directing the "largest one-year [deficit] drop in American history." But Biden did nothing to reduce the deficit. In fact, his policies have added a deluge of red ink. Between 2017 and 2019, the budget deficit averaged $810 billion annually. The pandemic then put millions of people out of work and brought trillions of dollars in temporary federal benefits, pushing deficits past $3 trillion in 2020 and $2 trillion in 2021. As the pandemic receded, however, the expiration of this temporary spending was scheduled to return deficits to the pre-pandemic levels of $900 billion to $1 trillion for the next six years. Instead, Biden's spending pushed up the 2022 deficit to $1.4 trillion — $400 billion higher than the baseline and far above pre-pandemic levels. And this was despite shattering peacetime records for tax revenues.

Chinese businesses in America certainly have benefitted from Biden's presidemcy. I wonder why.
The Commie Train's A'Comin'. Several large American cities have contracted with a Chinese state-owned rail car manufacturer to design and manufacture subway cars for their subway systems, raising serious cybersecurity and human-rights concerns. Over the past eight years, China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) has secured more than $2.6 billion in federal transit contracts to provide passenger railcars in Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Lawmakers from both parties have taken notice, and are now demanding that the Biden Administration take action to prevent a company that has links to the Chinese military from dominating the railcar market in the United States.

John Kennedy: 'Media Has Turned Biden Into Caricature Of a Nice Elderly Gentleman'. Everything President Joe Biden touches turns to dust. He was handed a country with a recovering economy, cities where crime was under control, a secure border, and a time when people can afford to live. All he had to do was nothing. But he didn't, and now the U.S. is at one of its worst times in history. Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) has had enough of the Democratic Party making excuses and covering up Biden's many bluffs and mistakes. Talking to Jesse Watters during his Fox News Primetime show, Kennedy said that Americans no longer believe Biden's lies when he says his policies are improving the state of the country. "The American people have learned over the past 20 months that if you want something screwed up, President Biden is your man," Kennedy said, adding "it has been 20 months of misery and vexation and Homer Simpson goes to Washington. I mean, pick your issue. The infrastructure bill, COVID, crime, the border, Congress, the economy, inflation, gas prices, Afghanistan, baby formula, [indeed]."

A Controlled Peasantry. [Scroll down] After the election, we find that the [Hunter Biden] laptop was real, not Russian disinformation. We also now find ourselves treated to the highest inflation in 40 years, 13 military service members blown to bits in Afghanistan with a president who says that was a great job, crime spiking across the country, Russia invading a sovereign country with mass murder of civilians, China humiliating us and threatening Taiwan, North Korea resuming firing ballistic missiles over Japanese territory, the southern border in chaos (with record numbers of dead people), and a president who shakes hands with people who aren't there and blames everybody else for what he has deliberately visited on the nation. Are the puppet masters in government or the "news" media embarrassed? Not in the least! Why should they be? If you ask too many questions, you will be censored, or worse. You are told what to think. You don't want to be an "election denier," do you? There is nothing worse than murderers, rapists and election deniers. You don't want any trouble. We used to think we knew what "woman" means but now we have a woman appointed to SCOTUS who doesn't know that. Actually she does know but we are expected to play along. Everything is play-acting now.

When Was the Last Time That the Democrats Told the Truth About Anything? [Scroll down] The Democrats and the Democrat FBI and other agencies suppressed news about the Hunter Biden laptop because it exposed and documented the Biden family's international influence-peddling scheme and threatened the election of Democrat Joe Biden to the Presidency. Fifty Democrat members of the intelligence community signed a letter claiming that the laptop was Russian disinformation. The Democrat big tech, cable news, and mainstream newspapers all suppressed the story in order to ensure that it would not influence voters against Biden. Once again, outright lies to benefit the Democrat Party at the expense of American citizens. With Biden finally elected, the media could finally admit that the story was true all along.

It's been two years since 51 intelligence agents interfered with an election — they still won't apologize. Exactly two years ago, on October 19, 2020, one of the dirtiest tricks in electoral history was played on the American people by 51 former intelligence officials, who used the false alarm of "Russian interference" to stop Donald Trump winning a second term as president. Using the institutional weight of their former esteemed roles, they signed a dishonest letter to mislead voters 15 days before the election, claiming that material from Hunter Biden's laptop published by the New York Post "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." In their expert opinion, "the Russians are involved in the Hunter Biden email issue." Russia was "trying to influence how Americans vote in this election ... Moscow [will] pull out the stops to do anything possible to help Trump win and/or to weaken Biden should he win. "A 'laptop op' fits the bill, as the publication of the emails are [sic] clearly designed to discredit Biden ... It is high time that Russia stops interfering in our democracy." It was all a lie. Their letter was the culprit "interfering with democracy" in broad daylight. Not one of the 51 had seen any material from the laptop or bothered asking for it, [...]

Biden taken aback by multiple reporters suggesting oil reserve release is meant to help Democrats. President Biden appeared taken aback Wednesday at multiple reporters suggesting that his tapping into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) was politically motivated with the midterms three weeks away. Biden announced the release of 15 million more barrels of oil from the emergency reserve, saying it would lower gas prices and bolster domestic oil production. As he concluded his remarks at the White House, a reporter shouted out at him, leading him to sarcastically ask her to "speak louder." "What is your response to Republicans who say you are only doing this SPR release to help Democrats in the midterms?" the reporter asked. "Where have they been the last four months? That's my response," Biden said, scoffing.

Biden Visibly Irritated By Reporters Asking if Releasing Oil From Reserves Ahead of Midterms is Politically Motivated. Biden's handlers trotted him out for few minutes Wednesday afternoon to deliver remarks on his plans to lower energy costs. Joe Biden on Wednesday announced the release of 15 million barrels of oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Of course this is a political ploy ahead of the midterm elections to help Democrats. Biden is artificially reducing the price of gas while he drains the SPR. "What is your response to Republicans who say you are only doing this SPR release to help Democrats in the midterms?" a reporter asked Biden. A visibly irritated Biden responded, "Where have they been the last four months? That's my response!" Joe Biden doesn't even know where he has been the last four months.

Who's in Charge of Joe Biden? It's safe to assume at this point that the facts that Joe Biden is not running the White House and that his mental acuity is evaporating are not state secrets. Some say signs of a problem were evident even during his term as Obama's VP. [...] Biden's rapid descent from president to trademark and his cognitive decline are not news, which is sad because they should have been news long ago. And I would argue that part of the problem is not that Joe Biden needs a surrogate; it's that Joe Biden is a surrogate. He is practically a character in a modern-day melodrama. We have been conditioned to shrug off the Commander-in-Chief's inability to function and merely accept it as a fact of doing business, without asking who is setting policy and who is making the decisions that affect the nation and the world. The Surrogate-in-Chief is obviously not doing it, so who exactly is accountable, if not him? Theories have ranged from Barack Obama to Biden's chief of staff. Whoever it is, in addition to being unknown, they are unelected.

Top 10 Scapegoats If Democrats Lose the Midterms. We don't know how the election is going to play out, but at least one thing is guaranteed: If Democrats lose, they are going to blame everyone but themselves for the outcome. Here are the top 10 scapegoats Democrats are likely to blame for the party's poor performance at the ballot box in November. [...] [#6] President Joe Biden: If Democrats get wiped out in November, expect more calls for Biden to leave office after one term. The president will turn 80 on Nov. 20, and a poor showing in the midterms will increase the likelihood that some ambitious young Democrats will start gunning for the party's nomination in 2024. That doesn't mean nominating someone like Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, or Kamala Harris would give them a better chance of winning, but Biden is too old and forcing him to run again would be a cruel form of elder abuse.

Report: Jill Biden Vets White House Staff, Tears Into Joe's Aides. First lady Jill Biden has reportedly wielded influence over President Joe Biden's decisions, directly participated in vetting White House officials, and worked to protect her husband from lengthy press conferences. Jill Biden confronted senior members of the president's staff after Joe Biden spoke at a conference in January, demanding to know who was supposed to end the conference, The New York Times reported Monday, citing a witness to the confrontation. Joe Biden answered questions for nearly two hours at the press conference, starting from a list of pre-selected reporters, and then opening it up to the floor, with one reporter asking about Americans being concerned about his mental health.

The Editor says...
As First Lady Hillary Clinton used to say, "We are the president."

Hunter Biden-linked real estate firm got at least $100M from Russian oligarch: sources. A real estate company with ties to first son Hunter Biden received more than $100 million from a Russian billionaire for property investments across the US that date back a decade, sources have told The [New York] Post. The hefty cash injections into Rosemont Realty came from Elena Baturina — one of Russia's wealthiest women, the widow of the former mayor of Moscow, and a close ally of Moscow tyrant Vladimir Putin, the sources said. In one portfolio deal, Baturina paid at least $40 million to Rosemont to invest in office buildings across the country, according to a source with knowledge of the transactions. That money went toward the 2012 purchase of seven office buildings in Texas, Colorado, Alabama, New Mexico and Oklahoma, according to deal-related emails obtained by DailyMail.com.

FBI has 'voluminous evidence' of Hunter Biden's 'potential criminal conduct': Whistleblowers. The FBI is in possession of "voluminous evidence" of "potential criminal conduct" by President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden related to his overseas business dealings with China and Ukraine, according to new whistleblower disclosures. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who previously released whistleblower claims alleging that evidence on Hunter Biden's criminality was wrongly labeled "disinformation" within the bureau, made the revelations in a Thursday letter obtained by the Washington Examiner. It was sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss — who is running the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden.

Biden Shows Just How Far Gone He Is With New Ron Burgundy Incident. I have to confess, it is often hard to cover Joe Biden day after day with some of the crazy things he says, knowing that the country is in the hands of this man and knowing he is so frequently incoherent and unable to understand what's going on around him. [...] The reason that the Republicans have a problem with Biden is that he doesn't have the power just to declare people's debt bailed out. The PPP loans that went out to people had a lot of problems, including fraud, but they were approved by Congress, so they were legal, unlike Biden's move with student debt relief. Another problem that Republicans and many other Americans have is that the money for the bailout doesn't just come out of the air, it's going to come from all the rest of us. So he has the nerve to claim that he's helping the middle class when he's actually going to lay the bill for it on them and the other Americans who aren't getting this deal.

Leak: Hunter Biden Attained $40M Real Estate Deal with Russian Billionaire While Joe Biden Was VP. Hunter Biden reached a $40 million real estate deal in 2012 with Russian billionaire and wife of the former mayor of Moscow, Yelena Baturina, while President Joe Biden was vice president. The massive deal is connected to a previously reported $3.5 million fee Baturina paid Hunter's real estate entity to access the American business market, the Daily Mail reported Monday from documents obtained by an anti-corruption group, the Kazakhstani Initiative on Asset Recovery.

Paging the FBI: You Might Want to Check This Info on Hunter Biden. We've reported previously about the $3.5 million that the firm, Rosemont Seneca Thornton, got from Yelena Baturina, the widow of the former Moscow mayor, as a "consultancy fee." Rosemont Seneca Thornton is a consortium formed between Hunter's investment company, Rosemont Seneca, and the Boston-based Thornton Group according to the NY Post. [...] It's not clear where the $3.5 million went. The Senate report said the company was co-founded by Hunter Biden. Now there are new emails detailing that there was much more involved. Namely, a $40 million investment in Hunter's company, Rosemont Realty. Baturina's brother, Viktor Baturin said it was "a payment to enter the American market."

Disturbing New Report Reveals Depths of Jill Biden's Control Over Joe, His Handlers. That Jill Biden frequently plays director and shover in chief for supposed leader of the free world Joe Biden when he appears lost and/or confused during public speaking engagements is not new news. But a new report from the New York Times which detailed how the First Lady was stepping in for her husband in key battleground races contained new information as to the depths she goes through to control not just Biden but also his infamous handlers, the ones who are charged with aggressively herding the press away from him, cleaning up his rhetorical messes, and who also work hard at limiting his public appearances so as to avoid any more embarrassing gaffes.

Biden's family got 'interest-free,' 'forgivable' loan from China, new evidence reveals. President Joe Biden has made waves this fall with his plan to forgive hundreds of billions of dollars of student loans, shifting the burden to taxpayers. Five years earlier, his family cashed in on a zero-interest, forgivable loan of its own from an energy company in communist China, according to evidence in the possession of the FBI. The loan arrangement, confirmed in documents obtained by Just the News and also new information released by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), shows the Chinese energy firm CEFC Beijing International Energy Company Limited understood the transaction would benefit Joe Biden's family (referred to as "BD family" in the emails), but it also was creating heartburn with its own compliance/risk management officers.

Joe Biden 'was aware' and potentially 'involved' in son Hunter's crony business dealings: Whistleblowers. New whistleblower documents reveal that President Biden "was aware of Hunter Biden's business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them," Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley said Monday, suggesting that the FBI has "voluminous evidence" related to the potential criminality of those ventures. Grassley, R-Iowa, sent a letter Monday morning to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss detailing new whistleblower allegations that the bureau is in possession of "significant, impactful and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden and James Biden." Weiss has oversight of the Hunter Biden investigation. Grassley said the FBI has a series of documents in its possession related to information on Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings.

And with no record of any visitors. How sad.
Biden has spent more than one-fourth of his time in office in Delaware. President Joe Biden has logged more than one-quarter of his first 20 months in office away from the White House. Since January 2021, Biden has spent 236 days on unofficial rest and relaxation. He has traveled to his homes in Rehoboth Beach and Wilmington, Delaware, 55 times for a grand total of 174 days, and spent 64 days at the official presidential retreat at Camp David, spread across 19 individual trips. Every president dating back to Ronald Reagan has frequently spent weekends at vacation locations, and both former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump received heavy criticism from political opponents for their frequent golf outings on the weekends. The White House has maintained that Biden is constantly "working from home" while staying in Delaware.

Jill Biden's Appearance At Cowboys / Eagles Game Inspires Perfect Meme Summing Up The Trump vs. Biden Economy — The Meme Is Now Removed From Every Social Media. First lady Jill Biden was an honorary captain for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday as the team looked to stay undefeated against NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 6. Like several Eagles players and Santa Claus before her, fans of the only unbeaten team left in NFL reportedly booed Biden when she stepped onto Lincoln Financial Field. Several people in attendance for the Eagles game tweeted about the apparent loud boos she received. [Numerous tweets] And that leads us to a meme that's directed more toward FLOTUS's husband and the Democrats who support him! Social media giants also removed the meme from everywhere but we managed to download the meme which could be the most accurate economic depiction of the last few years.

Jill Biden Gets Mercilessly Booed at Eagles Game During Coin Toss. Jill Biden was in Philadephia on Sunday and she went to the Eagles game with Dallas at Lincoln Financial Field. Biden was designated the honorary captain for the night and was standing at midfield during the coin toss when they flashed her picture on the big screen. [Tweet] That's when the booing erupted and let her have it. It must have been pretty substantial from what the people were saying. [More tweets]

Biden Executive Order Abolishes Constitutional Safeguards Against Spying on Americans. Joe Biden unilaterally abolished protections preventing the federal government from spying on Americans without a warrant. A presidential memorandum on an executive order issued on October 7, entitled "Enhancing Safeguards for United States Signals Intelligence Activities," admits that the EO removes the "the safeguards for personal information collected through signals intelligence established by Presidential Policy Directive 28 of January 17, 2014 (Signals Intelligence Activities) (PPD-28)...." After expressly revoking the previously enacted protections against collection of domestic surveillance data without a warrant, the Biden order declares that "Signals intelligence activities shall be authorized by statute or by Executive Order, proclamation, or other Presidential directive and undertaken in accordance with the Constitution and with applicable statutes and Executive Orders, proclamations, and other Presidential directives." Only two of the items in that list — statutes and the Constitution — have the force of law in the United States. The latter of those two legal documents explicitly declares in fact that "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States...." That very clear language not only grants exclusive power to Congress to make laws for the union, but by implication denies such authority to the president of the United States! Therefore, Mr. Biden, your executive orders, proclamations, and directives are of no legal effect in the union.

Dirty money, dirty politics, and Hunter Biden. There might finally be enough pieces of the Hunter Biden puzzle for the authorities and Congress to put together the full picture of the legal case against the president's son. And the next few weeks will play a crucial role in how this convoluted and salacious story ends. The federal agents who have been investigating Hunter Biden believe that they have unearthed enough evidence to charge him with crimes related to tax fraud and lying during his purchase of a handgun, according to numerous reports. Republicans in Congress, meanwhile, seek to recapture the majority in early November and turn the investigative committees' attention from the previous president to the current one. The midterm elections will determine whether Republicans get the chance to uncover wider Biden family corruption to go along with possible indictments against Hunter.

To State The Obvious, Biden Is A Remarkably Bad Negotiator And Doesn't Understand How The World Works. In case you have not noticed, the entire globe is in disarray under Biden. The president's lack of deal-making skills seems to be one of the main culprits behind the international disorder. Consider the following: Biden asked Saudi Arabia to postpone petroleum production cuts until after the U.S. midterm elections, warned Russia not to invade Ukraine, and requested that oil companies lower the cost of high gas prices. None of the three occurred, and it's no surprise why. Why would any of those entities go along with what Biden says if they weren't given any incentives or genuine threats? This week, it was reported that Biden asked Saudi Arabia to postpone cutting petroleum production until after the midterms. OPEC+ declined. Now, Biden is looking at all options, and his Democratic colleagues are calling upon the U.S. to block arms sales with the Middle Eastern nation as payback. "Quid pro quo" legalities aside, why wouldn't Biden threaten to cut off military support prior to the Saudis' decision? It's like this president does everything backward.

We're in the Climate Army Now. During the Global War on Terror, when the United States was engaged battling terrorists and insurgents in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Left routinely lied to young voters that President George W. Bush in particular, and Republicans in general, were going to reinstitute the draft and send them to these active military theaters. The Left's message was less than subtle: vote for Democrats or else the GOP will make sure you're drafted and/or dead. [...] Heading into the 2022 midterm elections, the Democrats and their media cohorts are now using the prospect of nuclear war to try and prop up Joe Biden's sagging poll numbers, which threaten to drag his party's federal and state candidates down to defeat. [...] Yes, if the Democrats' stoking of "civil war" rhetoric isn't enough to get their voters to the polls for the 2022 midterm elections, why not toss in the prospect of nuclear annihilation — along a path they and their minions have helped cement — even as they taunt the enemy to try to look like a tough guy? What could possibly go wrong? Nonetheless, after Biden raised the prospect of nuclear Armageddon, it should come as no surprise the Democrats have been mum about his administration reinstituting the draft.

Biden Attacks the Very Legitimacy of SCOTUS. Democrats have constantly attacked Republicans because some raised questions about the 2020 election, even though the Democrats have questioned elections and challenged electors in the past. Democrats have termed this "election denialism" and termed it a "threat to democracy." Yet the Democrats have also been attacking the Supreme Court. They've incited protesters against the Court. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi encouraged protesters to pressure the Court to change its upcoming decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, the case that ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade. One person tried to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh over the abortion question. Now, Joe Biden himself tried to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the Supreme Court during a virtual fundraiser for Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE) this week.

Fire Department Drops Joe Biden With Some Facts About the Fire at His Home. Joe Biden has exaggerated and lied about so many things in his political career, frankly, it's hard to keep up with them all. But one of the things that he has frequently exaggerated about in the past year has been a fire that occurred in his home in 2004. His story has changed every time he tells it, as is typical with Joe Biden's stories. When you're not telling the truth, you can't keep up with the lie that you told before. So it's been an ever-evolving story. When we first covered it in November of last year, Biden claimed his house had burnt down "with my wife in it," and that a "significant portion" of it burned. He then added that she had gotten out safely, which would be hard if it burnt down with her in it. Then when he was in Florida to survey Hurricane Ian's damage, Biden claimed that he "lost an awful lot of" his home.

The Democrat Party Is Crumbling. [Scroll down] Let's take a look at what was and what is, and how the truth is oozing out and killing the Democrats: [...] Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian disinformation," according to 51 former "intel specialists." Now it's real and full of evidence that the Biden family is corrupt and filthy, perhaps to the point of treason. Even better, everyone knows that the Bidens are in the crosshairs of angry GOPers like Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Matt Gaetz, etc., and that the red wave in November is looking more like a crimson tsunami. The New Republicans know that the Democrats must be punished and are eager to break out the paddle. Joe Biden has some 'splainin' to do, and he needs to be the first Democrat investigated. Once the "big guy" has been sent to the cornfield, the other scoundrels will be easy pickin's.

Serial Child Molester, Joe Biden Is At It Again, This Time Creeping On A Young Girl At A Community College. President Joe Biden grabs a young girl by the shoulder and tells her "no serious guys till your [sic] 30" as she looks back appearing uncomfortable, the secret service appears to try to stop me from filming it after Biden spoke at Irvine Valley Community College[.] [Video clip]

Biden renews COVID "emergency" for another 90 days. Never let a crisis go to waste, Rahm Emanuel once advised. Add to that this new axiom: Never let your emergency powers expire. As incompetent as Joe Biden might otherwise be, he's proven adept at following both. [...] In his 60 Minutes interview with Scott Pelley less than four weeks ago, Biden walked around the Detroit auto show without a mask, and remarked about how normal it seemed, and how "everybody seems to be in pretty good shape": [Tweet] That was just three weeks ago. What makes this an "emergency" now? Even with the CDC still reporting correlative data rather than causative, ER visits with COVID diagnoses are near a year-long low and dropping. Reported cases are bottoming out as well, as are correlated deaths (still no breakout for causation), as are correlated hospital admissions. Even wastewater surveillance — which would take place regardless of emergency status — shows a decline in prevalence despite the addition of many new sites in the mix. So why is the pandemic over but not the emergency? For one thing, Biden still wants emergency cash from Congress.

The Biden Family Could Be In Serious Legal Jeopardy, Former Prosecutor Says. A former federal prosecutor told Fox News host Mike Emanuel that the Biden family faces serious legal jeopardy from Hunter Biden's alleged business dealings. "[President Joe Biden] should be worried, I think, obviously should be worried about his son who has had a very troubled past, but in terms of the investigation, I think the talk that we are hearing now about the possibility of a disposition of the case with tax charges and maybe the full statement that you refer to, could be a choreographed event, what is swept under the rug is the thing that is of consequence to the country, which is the fact that foreign regimes... such as China, poured millions of dollars, millions into the coffers of the Biden family," Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor, said. Federal agents reportedly believe there is sufficient evidence to indict Hunter Biden on tax charges and on violations of federal firearms laws.

Joe Biden: $7 a Gallon Gas in California 'Always Been the Case'. President Joe Biden during a visit to Los Angeles on Thursday dismissed gas prices in California reaching nearly seven dollars a gallon. The president spoke with reporters briefly after getting tacos with local Democrats in Los Angeles. When asked to react to prices reaching nearly seven dollars a gallon in California, Biden replied, "Well, that's always been the case here." Biden argued that gas prices were still down nationwide from the previous highs in the summer, even though they have gone back up as much as 30 cents a gallon in some areas.

Biden claims inflation 'averaged 2%' — after data shows 8.2% annual jump. President Biden tried to fudge the numbers Thursday after newly released data revealed that consumer prices jumped by 8.2% year-over-year last month — with Biden insisting he's made "progress" and that inflation really is on a 2% trajectory. "Today's report shows some progress in the fight against higher prices, even as we have more work to do," Biden said in a written statement. "Inflation over the last three months has averaged 2%, at an annualized rate." "A lot of people are hurting these days. But today's report shows, though, some progress," Biden added during a speech in Los Angeles. "Overall inflation was 2% over the last three months, that's down from 11% over the prior three months. That's progress," he insisted.

Joe Biden Plays the Old Ugly American. The Left used to accuse imperialist, resource-hungry Yanquis in Washington of cutting selfish deals with illiberal dictatorships in Latin America to grab their natural resources. How odd then that Joe Biden is now begging the despicable Maduro regime in Venezuela — corrupt, murderous, and anti-American — to produce more of its oil solely to send northward to America. Biden is quite willing to ease sanctions and condone the human rights abuses of Maduro — if his dictatorship will just open its oil spigots before the November midterm elections.

Utter proof the FBI framed Trump and shielded Hunter Biden. Igor Danchenko is on trial, but so is the FBI. That is the theme of Russiagate special counsel John Durham's prosecution of Danchenko, heading into its third day of trial in Alexandria, Va., federal court. Danchenko is charged with five counts of lying to the FBI about two of his sources for what became the infamous "Steele dossier" — a compilation of faux intelligence reports, mainly authored by former British spy Christopher Steele, that portrayed the GOP's then-presidential candidate, Donald Trump, as a clandestine agent of Russia. Danchenko was Steele's principal source. In essence, Durham accuses him of (a) concealing from the FBI that he was getting some information about the Trump campaign from Clinton political ally Charles Dolan and (b) falsely claiming he received explosive information from Sergei Millian, a Belarusian American tangentially associated with Trump, alleging the GOP candidate was in a "conspiracy of cooperation" with the Kremlin.

Joe Biden Drops Something From His Hands That The Camera Tried To Hide During His Interview With CNN's Jake Tapper. During an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper that was broadcast on Tuesday night, Biden said he would add a federal ban on assault weapons to his list of legislative accomplishments. He also vowed to impose "consequences" on Saudi Arabia for its decision to cut oil production as part of an agreement with Russia. But it was a moment when the president, mid-sentence, dropped something that looked like notes that were resting on his knee that lit up social media. What is even more interesting is the fact that the camera tried to hide the fact that Biden was using notes and Biden reacted strangely after the incident, he saw the words 'Rescue Plan' and blubbered out the rest.

Joe Biden sure does a lot of favors for China. I wonder why.
The U.S. Government Developed A Key Green Technology. The Biden Admin Gave It To China. The Department of Energy's Inspector General is reviewing why the Joe Biden administration gave promising battery technology, developed by taxpayer dollars, to a Chinese company instead of making the batteries in the U.S. China is now reportedly building one of the largest battery grids in the world using the technology, which could store huge amounts of solar energy without degrading over time or requiring lithium, mitigating a major environmental impact of current green technology that ends up in landfills. In 2021, there was an "illicit Department of Energy (DOE) transfer of a fifteen million dollar, taxpayer-funded advanced battery technology to China," Sens. John Barrasso (R-WY) and Joni Ernst (R-IA) wrote in a letter to the DOE's internal watchdog. The company that received the license "plainly stated on their official website that they planned to manufacture the batteries in China," even though the license included "a requirement that the batteries be 'substantially manufactured' in the U.S. As these stipulations were continuously violated, DOE never raised any concern," they wrote.

NY Times Suddenly Discovers That Biden Is a Liar. Good heavens, the CDC better check the water supply at the New York Times. First, as noted here over the weekend, the Times discovered the farce of California's high speed rail. Now they've discovered (also decades later than sensate people, but still) that Joe Biden makes things up. [...] Of course the Times labors mightily to reassure its tender readers that Trump was worse, and place it in the "context" that all presidents lie, and maybe Biden isn't really any worse than others, like Bill Clinton.

Why Are They Teasing A Hunter Indictment Right Now? Perhaps the Department of Justice has taken to heart the conservative critique of its manifest dual-track approach to law enforcement and will actually charge the manifestly guilty Hunter Biden with lying about being a dirty, degenerate junkie on his gun background check form. And perhaps Brian Stelter, who is a potato, will get that headlining gig at the Las Vegas Chippendales. If you are reading this that means we have not been nuked into oblivion. [...] Sorry kids, Hunter's not getting indicted for nothing. [...] But let's get real — it's a bluff. There's no way they will ever pull the trigger on a gun charge against the meth-addled scion. The power is in the threat; the damage to Biden, if he is dumb enough to press on and run — which he clearly is — would be too great. Actually charging Hunter makes a bad candidate an exponentially worse candidate. He would be even more likely to lose the general, so it is self-defeating.

Is A Joe Biden-Appointed Prosecutor Letting James Biden Skate In Federal Criminal Probe? U.S. Attorney Cindy K. Chung is still overseeing the criminal investigation into the bankrupt health care business from which James Biden allegedly siphoned hundreds of thousands of dollars to finance repairs to his beach house, even after President Joe Biden nominated the top prosecutor for a lifetime appointment as a federal appellate judge. And the assistant U.S. attorney leading the criminal investigation into the James Biden-connected business has now been tapped to replace Chung, according to sources. Attorney General Merrick Garland has ignored these blatant conflicts of interest just as he has spurned demands that he appoint a special counsel for the Delaware criminal investigation into the Biden family business dealings that implicate not just Hunter and James Biden, but the president of the United States.

Everybody Asks: Who Is Really Controlling Joe Biden? Joe Biden is surrounded by ten current and former members of the Trilateral Commission. They have become like a personal guard and policy controllers for virtually everything that Biden has pursued since his inauguration. Since the Trilateral Commission membership is global — only one third are Americans — these ten interlopers collectively represent the interests of the global hegemony that is trying to destroy America. First, foreign policy is locked down by Secretary of State Tony Blinken and his Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman. Then there is Biden's National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. The NSA is the gatekeeper of what reaches the President's attention.

How Different Would America Be Today if Trump was Still President? This is the easiest column I've ever written. It's so simple to imagine what America would be like today if Trump was still President. What a tragedy that we allowed a brain-dead, feeble, confused, old man with dementia and diapers, and his radical, anti-American, globalist, communist handlers to destroy the greatest country in world history — in only 22 months. Let's start with the obvious. How did this happen? The 2020 election was stolen. That's how they removed Trump from office and installed a man who doesn't know who he is, where he is, or what he's doing. A man who can't put 2 sentences together, and who can't attract more than 20 people in concentric circles to his speeches, yet they want us to suspend reality and believe he got 81 million votes — the most in history. Bizarre.

If not now, when? If not Biden, who?
Time To Consider The 25th Amendment For Biden. He's only been senile in the last few years, he's been stupid his whole life. But there's something else that has been a factor in Joe Biden's whole life that is even more dangerous than his stupidity of senility: his insecurity. Joe Biden's whole life has been an act of fiction of his own making. You have to ask yourself why he lies about so many things, most of which are insignificant — "I used to drive a truck" "My great-grandpa was a coal miner," etc. He's wildly insecure and trying to get the people he's talking to — truck drivers, coal miners — to like him. In 1987, before being forced out of his first run for president, and before his series of brain aneurysms, he lied about literally everything related to his academic career simply because he was asked a question about his grades. The question was not confrontation but met with Joe's quick temper and a flurry of lies. He didn't receive a scholarship for academics, he didn't win awards, and he didn't graduate anywhere near the top of his class — he graduated 76th out of 85 students.

Biden: Exit Stage Lost. "Exit Stage Lost" must be the final command regularly displayed on Joe Biden's teleprompter because the senile old stooge always wanders around aimlessly after mumbling through any public remarks. I'm guessing it's his speechwriters' way of gently prodding: "Now go along and play with your toys while the adults take care of important business." [...] Obama couldn't speak coherently without a teleprompter, and Biden can't speak coherently even with a teleprompter. Had our enemies just made a concerted effort to destroy the world's supply of functioning teleprompters, the Obama-Biden presidencies would have consisted of nothing but strings of um-um-ums, regular urrs, a whole lot of uhhhs, mindless slobbering from Dementia Joe, and an occasional self-righteous "That's not who we are."

Did Tucker Carlson's Bobulinski Home Run Crack the Media Protection Racket of the Bidens? Uh-oh. Reports on news of investigations involving Hunter Biden in The Washington Post, CBS and NBC? After Tucker Carlson's Bobulinski sit-down? One would be justified in thinking that maybe, just maybe, the liberal media Biden protection racket may finally be cracking. The bottom line, as expressed this week by Fox's Jesse Watters is clear: "This isn't a Hunter Biden story," said Jesse. "This is a Joe Biden story." Bingo.

White House spending $265K on staff to deflect Hunter Biden probe. The White House is gearing up for a growing army of staff to fend off potential Republican-led probes on everything from Hunter Biden to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan — and taxpayers are footing the bill. Battening down the hatches should the GOP regain control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections, the White House is shelling out $265,000 a year in salary for staff whose primary portfolio will be to run comms and defense for the administration from an approaching blizzard of subpoenas. In May, the White House poached Richard A. Sauber, the top attorney for the Department of Veterans Affairs, to serve as a "deputy counsel to the president" tasked with handling House oversight probes. Ian Sams, a veteran of Vice President Harris' failed 2020 presidential campaign, was hired to run official comms for the team. White House records show the two men will take home $155,000 and $110,000 respectively.

Biden burns 3,866 pounds of jet fuel flying 72 miles to deliver speech. President Joe Biden on Friday burned 3,866 lbs of jet fuel to fly 72 miles aboard Air Force One to deliver a speech in Hagerstown, Maryland. Biden's 40-minute flight to Hagerstown burned about 3,886 lbs of jet fuel as he traveled in a Boeing 757 aircraft, which burns roughly 5,800 lbs of fuel per hour if the aircraft is traveling at the average speed of 598 miles per hour at 35,000 ft, according to Aviation Insider. Biden's trip to Maryland produced over 12,000 lbs of carbon dioxide (CO2), according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis. Biden produced CO2 emissions equivalent to driving 13,678 miles in an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle, according to the Environmental Protection Agency's emissions calculator. A 72-mile journey in the average passenger road vehicle would emit only 58 lbs of carbon emissions as the average car has a fuel efficiency of 24.2 miles per gallon, according to a DCNF analysis. Biden declared on Thursday that radical changes were needed in order to "literally save the planet" from climate change during a speech in New York.

Biden Burns 3,866 Pounds Of Jet Fuel Flying 72 Miles To Deliver Speech. President Joe Biden on Friday burned 3,866 lbs of jet fuel to fly 72 miles aboard Air Force One to deliver a speech in Hagerstown, Maryland.

The Editor says...
[#1] How did Mr. Biden fly in a Boeing 757 for 40 minutes in exclusive straight-line air space and only cover 72 miles? That's an average of 108 mph. The plane has to go faster than that to get off the ground. [#2] Did they really climb to 35,000 feet on such a short trip? [#3] Why not fly a smaller plane for those short trips? Why not take The Beast out on the freeway and see if it'll go 108 mph? (Paint it gray and call it the Silver Bullet.) Why not make a statement by riding in an electric car?

Hunter Biden begged Hallie for cash to go to rehab before gun buy. Hunter Biden begged his sister-in-law-turned-lover Hallie Biden for cash to check himself into rehab just six weeks before purchasing a handgun — and attesting on federal forms that he had never used or been addicted to drugs. A shocking, 4-minute, 30-second recording was discovered by The [New York] Post on a copy of the infamous hard drive Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop, and emerges the same week federal agents said they believe they have enough evidence to charge him for making false statements in order to buy the .38-caliber pistol. In the contentious Aug. 31, 2018 phone call, the future first son can be heard pleading with Hallie to hand over his credit card points to pay for "rehab." Hallie Biden — who began dating her brother-in-law after the death of husband Beau Biden in 2015 — didn't buy it, repeatedly refusing to give him his credit card points unless he told her where he was going and allowed her to book it.

OPEC Humiliates Biden While the UK Increases Domestic Oil Production. It hasn't been a good week for Joe Biden. [...] OPEC+ announced that it would be cutting oil production in the weeks leading up to the 2022 midterm elections, despite his repeated pleas for them to boost production. It was the latest in a long line of humiliations for Joe Biden — and, of course, entirely his own doing. He's the one who put the brakes on domestic oil production and drilling, outsourcing our energy to foreign nations — including our enemies. Now, gas prices are going to shoot up just before the midterm elections because of Biden's war on domestic energy. For sure, increasing domestic energy production would go a long way toward fixing this problem, but Biden either hasn't figured that out yet or just doesn't care.

Trust the Justice Department on the Hunter Biden investigation? No way. As prosecutors weigh charges against Hunter Biden, don't forget the many reasons to think the Joe Biden Justice Department shouldn't be making these calls. The most recent evidence is the fact that sources close to the investigation felt the need to leak news that the feds have enough to bring tax- and gun-related charges. No way that happens unless people within Justice are seriously worried about even those puny charges getting squelched. They have reason to worry: Former Hunter associate Tony Bobulinski years ago corroborated to the FBI that indeed, the laptop emails said exactly what they seemed to. I.e. that millions of dollars flowed from Hunter's corrupt foreign dealing not only to him but his wider family, including his uncle James. And that a 10% slice of those dollars was reserved for the "big guy", plainly Hunter's dad Joe. The result? Agent Tim Thibault seemingly kiboshed any real inquiry into the matter and then left the building for a free-and-easy-retirement.

The Price of Biden's Winter. Biden's Inaugural Day declaration of war on domestic energy — obviously a non-negotiable condition to his arranged ascension to the Democrat nomination — handed Vladimir Putin (and other U.S. enemies/adversaries) a weapon against us and our allies every bit as potent as the sophisticated systems we're rolling into Ukraine to oppose his forces. It's pointless to reiterate the utter idiocy of such a strategic error at a time when Putin's threats to Ukraine and his willingness to weaponize natural gas deliveries to Europe were already open and notorious. Let it suffice to say that insofar as Biden participated in the decision at all, it was necessitated by forces out of his control. He was obliged to yield to the prevailing priorities of the Democrat Party, no matter their effect upon the nation's fortunes. We look at Joe Biden's obvious vacancy and try to divine his mental state, his possible infirmities, and who in the final analysis is pulling his strings. But when it counted — before the election — many neglected to assess how such a man made it to the front of the line in the first place. Alas, it was those very defects: his malleability and controllability, when combined with the unbridled ambitions of those around him, which got him there.

Take a look at the size of Joe Biden's carbon footprint. Back in April 2021, three months after being sworn in, Joe Biden promised to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50%, compared to 2005 levels, by the end of 2030. [...] So do his actions match his words? Obviously not. He is a Democrat. The Daily Caller reported that on Friday, a day after his alarmist speech, Biden burned 3,866 lbs of jet fuel to fly 72 miles aboard Air Force One to deliver a speech in Maryland. According to Aviation Inside, Air Force One burns roughly 5,800 lbs of fuel per hour if the aircraft is traveling at the average speed of 598 miles per hour at 35,000 feet. According to the Environmental Protection Agency's emissions calculator, Air Force One produced CO2 emissions equivalent to driving 13,678 miles in an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle. Fox News reported in September that Biden flew Air Force One to Delaware solely to vote in a Democratic primary, emitting roughly 16,641 lbs of CO2 emissions. The average cost of travel for Biden is roughly $2,614 per minute.

FBI Team Involved in Censorship of Hunter Biden Laptop Story Identified. The FBI team that was in communication with Facebook before the social media company censored the original Hunter Biden laptop story has been identified, according to a new court filing. Meta, Facebook's parent company, identified the team as the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), according to an updated complaint entered late on Oct. 6. Meta named the team after receiving a subpoena in a case alleging the federal government pressured Big Tech firms to censor users. "Pursuant to the third-party subpoena, Meta has identified the FBI's FITF, as supervised by Laura Dehmlow, and Elvis Chan as involved in the communications between the FBI and Meta that led to Facebook's suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story," the updated complaint states. Mark Zuckberg, Meta's CEO, said in August that Facebook reduced the reach of posts about Hunter Biden's laptop in response to advice from the FBI.

This is the laptop evidence feds could use in Hunter Biden tax fraud case. Hunter Biden's financial dealings and overseas exploits uncovered on the infamous laptop exposed by The Post could possibly be used by prosecutors in their reported tax crimes case against him. When federal authorities kicked off their probe in 2018, investigators were initially looking at whether Hunter and his associates had violated various tax and money laundering laws amid their dealings in China and other foreign countries. While it's not clear exactly what evidence the feds have, the exploits of President Biden's 52-year-old son are also in the scope of the federal Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Emails and other records related to Hunter's various overseas deals, which point to his alleged scheme to sell his father's influence for millions of dollars to American adversaries, came to light when they were discovered on his abandoned laptop.

Hunter Biden's end game: It's about far more than him. How does the Hunter Biden probe end? That question is stirring now that anonymous people connected to the case are leaking to the Washington Post — leaks of investigative information and prosecutorial deliberations that are about as surprising as the fact that the Washington Post somehow manages to make its report as much about Donald Trump as about the story's putative subject, the incumbent president's ne'er-do-well son. It's not a new question because it's not a new story. Indeed, the reporting is only "new" in the sense that people supposedly in the know are talking about things that have been known for years — certainly known to readers of the New York Post. Indeed, the mildly hilarious aspect of the report is that the Washington Post wants you to know that, in March 2022, it reported that a couple of "computer security experts" reviewed the thousands of emails "purportedly" from Hunter's infamous laptop and "found they were authentic communications."

Letter on Hunter Biden's Laptop Shows 2017 Deal with Qatar Undermining [the] Trump Administration. A letter on Hunter Biden's infamous abandoned laptop shows the Biden family pursuing a deal with Qatar, undermining the Trump Administration and appearing like an effort at a shadow foreign policy. The letter — retrieved from the "Laptop from Hell" by Congressman Darrell Issa's (R-CA) office after being in a previously unreadable format — shows James Biden, President Biden's brother, making an overture to an associate of Qatari Sheikh Abdulla Bin Mohammed Al Thani.

Joe Biden Is a Lawless Rogue Who Has Yet Again Violated His Oath of Office. At 11:47 a.m. on January 20, 2021, Joe Biden swore an oath before his God and his country: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." At the heart of the duties imposed by that oath is Article II, Section 3, of that Constitution, which requires of the president that he "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." Not some of the laws, but all of them. He is not charged with making those laws: He can veto bad laws that are presented to him by Congress, and he can recommend that bad laws be repealed or reformed, but so long as the laws made by Congress are on the books, it is his sworn, solemn, constitutional duty to take care that they be faithfully executed. This is why Americans used to refer to the president as the country's "chief magistrate."

The Biden Coverup. The Hunter Biden case is not the Hunter Biden case. It's the Joe Biden case. All the rest is the saga of a corrupt and degraded reprobate. Yesterday someone somewhere leaked to the Washington Post that the years-long investigation of Hunter may warrant a prosecution on tax and gun charges. He may even have to pay a fine. It is impossible to be too cynical about the Post story. Reading between the lines, one can only see the coverup of the Biden family corruption at work.

Hunter To Be Prosecuted? Ho Hum. [Scroll down] It would be deeply ironic if we finally saw a crackdown on Justice Department leaks in Hunter Biden's case. In any event, forgive me if I fail to celebrate whatever indictment of Hunter may be forthcoming. The real story here is that Joe Biden is a corrupt politician who sold his influence as vice president to foreign powers. The fact that Hunter failed to pay taxes on his share of the swag is an almost irrelevant detail. It would be much like prosecuting Al Capone for tax evasion — only not Al, but rather his son. Moreover, prosecuting Hunter would give Merrick Garland's Department of Justice an undeserved veneer of nonpartisanship. With the real crimes not charged, let alone proved, it will come off as a political prosecution that likely will engender sympathy for both Bidens.

Fox Panel Questions Potential Charges Against Hunter Biden. A former U.S. Attorney said reports of potential federal charges against Hunter Biden didn't "make sense" on Fox's "The Story" Thursday. "So much of it doesn't make sense, Martha, and I will tell you why," Brett Tolman, the executive director of Right on Crime, told host Martha MacCallum. "Let's take, for example, the alleged leaking and potential felony charges. The only time that would apply is if they were leaking actual material or information that was conveyed to the grand jury. Federal agents reportedly believe that sufficient evidence exists to charge Hunter Biden with violations of federal tax and gun laws, according to the Washington Post. Fox News host Bret Baier noted the absence of discussion about Biden's business dealings with foreign governments.

The Democrats Wrecked My Retirement. [Scroll down] Biden is a weak, befuddled old man, clearly not in any semblance of control of his rapidly diminishing faculties. You can practically hear our overseas adversaries licking their chops as they run roughshod over the remaining elements of proper international behavior and decorum, totally confident that the frighteningly senile Biden will not do anything to oppose them. Would Putin have invaded Ukraine and be threatening the world with nuclear war were President Trump still in office? Would Communist China be saber-rattling over Taiwan? Would North Korea have resumed test-firing ballistic missiles? Would Iran be shamelessly flaunting its nuclear progress? Of course not. All of the above has so rattled the investment markets (the Democrats can't fool the markets with their bogus smoke and mirrors) that the major indices have lost trillions (with a "T") of dollars in value.

Fears of only a weak wrist slap for scandal-scarred first son Hunter Biden. Leaks from the Department of Justice that charges are imminent against Hunter Biden over tax and gun offenses suggest he is getting a sweet deal after a four-year investigation by Delaware US Attorney David Weiss. Missing from The Washington Post account of the DOJ case against the president's son is any mention of previously mooted charges over money laundering and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), both of which could lead prosecutors to inspect the president's involvement in an influence-peddling scheme run by his son and brother Jim Biden during Joe's time as vice president. But a source close to the president's son alleges the leaks have come from "rogue investigators" in the DOJ who are concerned that Weiss is not going to indict Hunter.

Biden's Finger Pointing At Gas Stations Shows His Policies Aren't Rooted In Reality. In a baffling series of remarks this week, President Joe Biden admonished gas station owners to slash prices and to "do it now," blaming the latest gasoline price increase on greed. The president's comments came as the average price per gallon hovers around $3.80 and as millions of Americans are worried about the rising cost of heating their homes. Amid global instability, wildly fluctuating energy markets and rampant inflation, the president fails to realize that government policies and regulations have made matters worse. There's even more proof of this at the state level, where policy decisions have caused energy prices to vary significantly state by state.

Investigators Believe They Have Enough Evidence to Charge Hunter Biden with Tax, Gun Crimes: Report. Federal investigators believe they have gathered enough evidence to charge President Joe Biden's son Hunter "with tax crimes and a false statement related to a gun purchase," according to a bombshell new report from the Washington Post. Federal investigators associated with the FBI and IRS determined months ago that they had sufficient evidence to indict the younger Biden but it is now up to the U.S. attorney in Delaware, who was appointed by former president Trump, to determine whether to charge him, per the Post.

Report: Federal Agents Have 'Sufficient Evidence' to Charge Hunter Biden with Tax Crimes, False Gun Statement. Federal agents reportedly have "sufficient evidence" to charge Hunter Biden with tax crimes and making false statements regarding a gun purchase. The decision of whether Hunter will ultimately be charged is up to Trump-appointed United States Attorney David Weiss, individuals with knowledge of the probe told the Washington Post in a Thursday report. Weiss was appointed to the position in 2017. Hunter is reportedly under investigation for tax fraud, money laundering, and gun and foreign lobbying violations. Hunter has reportedly tried to settle the case out of court and has paid $1 million to the IRS to evade conviction or a long sentence.

Feds May Have 'Sufficient Evidence' to Charge Hunter Biden. According to fresh reporting in The Washington Post on Thursday [10/6/2022], federal investigators "believe" they have "sufficient evidence to charge" President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden with crimes related to his taxes and falsifying information related to a gun purchase. Citing "people familiar with the case," WaPo says the "next step is for the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, a Trump administration holdover, to decide on whether to file such charges." As Townhall has previously reported, Hunter Biden's taxes have been the subject of significant scrutiny since the president's son discovered his finances were being investigated in December 2020. At the time, then-President-Elect Biden characterized the situation as "vicious personal attacks." Not quite. When he was made aware of the investigation into his finances, Hunter Biden said he was taking the matter "very seriously" but maintained his confidence "that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors." Apparently that hasn't been the case.

An Epidemic of Cognitive Impairment? Joe Biden, the nominal head of the Democratic Party, is 79. But he increasingly acts and sounds 89. Recently, Biden has pivoted repeatedly on stage with his arm outstretched to shake the hand — of someone not there. [...] Biden slurs his words. He truncates sentences. He speaks in a muddled voice that often makes comprehension impossible. When questioned, he grows irate, growls, and stutters. He habitually lies about everything from COVID-19 vaccinations being unavailable until his presidency to the nature of his son's military service.

Tony Bobulinski: Biden Clan 'Stole' Millions 'From Me and My Other Partners,' FBI Ignored Multiple Felonies. Tony Bobulinski, the Biden family's former business partner, shared documents with Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tuesday night that showed how Hunter and Jim Biden "defrauded" him and two other partners of at least $5 million from the Chinese energy firm CEFC and "took the money for themselves." He also revealed for the first time that Jim Biden, Joe's brother, attempted to contact him by phone while he was being interviewed by the FBI in October of 2020. The phone call, which Bobulinski missed, came at 1:37 p.m. on October 23, 2020, as he was telling two FBI agents about Joe Biden's 10 percent cut in the family's lucrative business deal with CEFC, a Chinese Communist government-linked energy firm.

"He's Compromised": Rep. Comer Drops Big News about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden Investigation. Voting for the GOP can be painful, well, generally is quite painful, because they rarely wield power once they get it. After being voted into office, Republicans starting with Eisenhower have refused to demolish the vast, far-left administrative state the Democrats have built up and instead just fiddle around with tax cuts and boosting military spending while the country drifts to the left. Their doing so was particularly egregious in 2016-18, when they held the presidency and both houses of the legislature yet refused to do anything with it other than a tax cut that mainly helped the mostly woke corporations. But, in what's probably shocking or startling news, it's looking increasingly likely that the GOP might actually do something about the Hunter Biden problem if they retake power.

No records are being kept of visitors to Joe Biden's Delaware homes. After complaining for years about the amount of time Donald Trump spent on the golf course, thus far, President Joe Biden has spent roughly one-quarter of his entire time in office at his palatial homes in Delaware. But he doesn't spend all of that time alone. He has many visitors, including congressional leaders and other officials. But specifically who has been visiting? We don't know because no visitor logs or other records have been released to the press. The New York Post has been doggedly trying to track down those records from the Secret Service, finally resorting to filing FOIA requests to obtain them. This week, their most recent appeal of the denial of the release of such records was rejected yet again so we're still in the dark.

'Bunch of malarkey': Secret Service claims no record of visitors at Biden's Delaware properties. The U.S. president is one of the most well-protected, closely monitored personages in the world. And that extends to those coming in and out of his orbit. Yet, the U.S. Secret Service, the agency in charge of President Joe Biden's personal security, claims it double-checked and found no records of who is visiting the incumbent POTUS in Delaware where he spends a lot of his time, a determination that defies common sense. In an appeal of an initial denial, the New York Post unsuccessfully attempted to access visitor log information, which should be public, through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Secret Service Response on Biden Visitor Logs Defies Belief. Joe Biden has spent about a quarter of his time in office at his two homes in Delaware. But he's refused to provide any transparency about who he has been meeting with when he's been in Delaware. That's concerning, particularly when as Vice President he met with business associates of his son Hunter, in what appeared to be influence peddling to advance his son's deals and because some of those deals involved people connected to foreign governments like China.

In [a] stunning interview with Tucker Carlson last night, Tony Bobulinski explained how the FBI fixed the 2020 election. Most readers already know that Tony Bobulinski was the business partner of Hunter Biden and his uncle, Jim Biden, the president's brother, as they attempted to put together deals with foreign actors. That partnership broke up, and Bobulinski has become a whistleblower. But his efforts to interest the FBI in multiple Biden family felonies, including against him, have come to naught. Last night, in a second sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson, Bobulinski laid out stunning details on how the FBI deep-sixed any public revelations, much less indictments, based on what Bobulinski says are thousands of pages of proof, including emails, text messages, recorded phone calls, and actual business documents. Despite having possession of abundant evidence, the FBI sat on the investigation through the 2020 election, thereby depriving the public of information that almost certainly would have swayed enough votes to change the outcome and re-elect Donald Trump.

Bobulinski: I Would Have Verified Hunter Laptop Story 'Within Five Minutes'. During an interview aired on Tuesday's [10/4/2022] broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "Tucker Carlson Tonight," former Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski [...] said, "[W]hen The New York Post ran their article, an individual named Andy Stone stepped in. ... And throttled down the fact pattern. The interesting thing with that, Tucker, is Andy Stone never reached out to me. He never called my lawyers. My email address was there. I'm easy to get ahold of. Facebook never reached out to me and said, hey, Tony we see this email that The New York Post just published to you, is it real? Can you produce the email to us? Within five minutes, if Twitter, Facebook, anybody else had reached out, I would have produced the email with — everyone wants to talk about the metadata, oh, the emails that are being produced don't have any metadata — I would have given them the metadata that's pages long on that email that The New York Post published."

Some Helpful Ideas For Biden's Impeachment. In his conduct while president of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. has shown a habitual contempt for the rule of law, on numerous occasions willfully violating his constitutional oath by corrupting and manipulating the power of the executive branch. [...] Not every investigation leads to impeachment, sadly. But that doesn't mean the GOP shouldn't scrutinize whether the president benefited financially from his brother's and son Hunter's leveraging of the family name and the United States government to extract millions from Chinese and Ukrainian energy concerns — for which there is plenty of circumstantial evidence. We already know Biden lied about the extent of his knowledge regarding Hunter's "work." And, in a functioning democracy, it is imperative we know everything about the president's finances.

'Senile' Joe Biden is bringing shame to the United States. Joe Biden's cognitive deficits are increasingly apparent, even to the most amateur observer. Whether he has dementia at this point is immaterial. Half the world thinks he does and that weakens the United States and imperils us all. Whether he is falling up the stairs of Air Force One or falling off a stationary bike, whether he is wandering around on stage in a fog or clutching cheat sheets designed for a 4-year-old, whether he is shouting incoherently or whispering creepily, the optics are shocking. With his 80th birthday approaching next month, even if most Americans are too polite or willfully unobservant to say so, it's clear that Biden is not up to the world's most difficult job. He projects weakness and folly at a time of international turmoil. Disrespect for the president echoes around the world, among allies and enemies alike.

The Reckless Inauthenticity of Joe Biden. As the Biden administration's progressive agenda rages on, shell-shocked Americans are asking themselves, "How could so much go so wrong so fast?" From inflation to energy, immigration to crime, Afghanistan to fentanyl, President Biden has kept America lurching from crisis to crisis, failed policy to failed policy, debacle to debacle — obsessed with dismantling the Trump legacy and deliberately charting a radical course that is proving ruinous to the country. America is burning, and Joe Biden doesn't seem to care. [...] In truth, Joe Biden's nearly 50-year tenure on the political stage reveals an astonishing lack of authenticity. Like electricity, he steadfastly seeks the path of least resistance. His record of about-faces on a whole range of policy issues is legendary: the filibuster, redefining marriage, mask and vaccine mandates, Saudi Arabia, the Hyde Amendment, fracking, and of course "China is going to eat our lunch? C'mon, man." The list is as long as his time in office.

White House Report Card: 'Where's Jackie' is a problem. The highlights of the week were continued increasing inflation, a surprise decision to rip 770,000 students out of the college loan forgiveness program, Russia's annexation of four Ukrainian territories, and Biden's shocking decision to call out for the late Jackie Walorski, an Indiana Republican congresswoman who died in a car crash in August, during a speech. Followed by a bumbling explanation by the White House press secretary on why the president forgot about Walorski's death, the incident fueled concerns about Biden's mental state.

Past Statements Come Back With a Vengeance to Haunt Joe Biden and Ron Klain. On Friday, stocks closed sharply down again, with the DOW Jones coming to rest at 28,725. The S&P and Nasdaq fared even worse, with the latter being over 31 percent off its high since Joe Biden took office. What makes all this especially stupid, though, is that less than a year ago, the White House took a victory lap over the stock market. Biden's Chief of Staff, Ron Klain, went on social media to slap Donald Trump around over the former president's prediction of a "crash." To put it lightly, Klain's take did not age well.

Analysts: U.S. Weapons Stockpiles at 'Dangerously Low Levels' as DOD Sends Weapons to Ukraine. Bank of America analysts issued a report on Friday warning that America's military support for Ukraine in the conflict with Russia has pushed United States military stockpiles to "dangerously low levels" not seen for decades. As part of $16.2 billion in support committed to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February, the Department of Defense (DoD) has sent approximately $8.4 billion worth of military equipment from its own weapons stockpiles through an authority known as "presidential drawdown."

There's a major reason why the world in 2022 is like the world in 1939. [Scroll down] At the very moment when a fragile peace could have been worked out and negotiators begun to solve the differences between Russia and Ukraine, Joe Biden steps in and does what he does best, mess things up. The timeline here is interesting. Even though, on March 10, the US promised Ukraine $13 billion and, on March 26, Biden told the world that Putin "cannot remain in power," the Russian and Ukrainian negotiators were still able to come to an agreement on a peace deal. And staggeringly, Joe Biden scuttled it. Here we are in September, and much of the world is in recession, prices for everything are up dramatically, the US has provided Ukraine with upwards of $60 billion in aid, and Europe is facing energy shortages and skyrocketing prices just as winter approaches. And now nuclear war is in the air. All of this because Joe Biden wants revenge on Russia for something it didn't even do.

The Dam Breaks. How many senior moments have we seen the president of the United States struggle through? There was the time Joe Biden tried to shake hands with no one in particular. We saw him keel over on what was at the time a stationary bicycle. Americans watch Joe Biden deliver prepared remarks as they would watch a tightrope walker — through the gaps in between their fingers and with gritted teeth. And no presidential speechwriter ever compelled the president to describe anything as "cumalidefasredsulc." Such is the cult of the presidency that the first reaction to these and many, many similar episodes is often to dismiss their significance. If that fails to shame those who notice Biden's apparent cognitive impairments into silence, the observant are subjected to calumny. [...] With some fleeting exceptions, this strategy has worked. But the cumulative weight of Biden's malapropisms and malfunctions seem to have broken the backs of even the stoutest water carriers.

Why some polls show a dead heat for a generic ballot. The Afghanistan withdrawal was perhaps the most serious foreign policy mistake in U.S. history. It left the Taliban billions of dollars of state-of-the-art military equipment and the Bagram air base which is in spitting distance from China. Joe Biden's ill-conceived spending kicked off the inflation that is currently sullying the lives of millions of Americans. Drunk with power, Biden gleefully imposed mask and vaccine mandates on millions of Americans — law enforcement, military, federal employees, etc. Those who were wisely skeptical and refused the experimental jab lost their jobs. As it turns out, they were the smart ones; the vaccines were ineffective and have caused countless deaths and vaccine injuries far more devastating than COVID. The mortality rate among young people is up by forty percent. Biden gleefully put an end to our energy independence that President Trump had won. He cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada and ended drilling on most federal lands. He has drained our strategic oil reserves at a most inopportune time. This can only be a purposeful plan to destroy America as founded.

Analysis: Nord Stream Pipelines Sabotaged, and Only One Country Benefits. Three deep-water explosions destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines under the Baltic Sea on Monday. While the MSM and governments reported "leaks" in the pipelines following sudden pressure drops to zero, Swedish seismologists knew better. [...] First, the US became the number one exporter of liquified natural gas to Europe once Russia cut off the flow. German dependence on US LNG is a carrot to keep German in the sanction alliance. With winter approaching and German unrest on the rise, the State Department would have been concerned the Germans would go wobbly, reduce sanctions, cut off arms to Ukraine, and beg Putin for energy. The loss of the Nord Stream pipelines eliminates that path to renewed gas imports to Germany. Second, the Biden family has long been tangled up in natural gas and Ukraine. Hunter Biden was on the board of Ukraine's largest natural gas company — a position that provided Ukrainian oligarchs with access to Joe Biden. Hunter, who has no experience in energy, made millions from the deal, and Ukraine got a bought-and-paid-for President of the United States. Third, the Democrat Biden needs to stanch the popularity bleeding that threatens to kill Democrat control of Congress come November. So, only the United States has a compelling reason to destroy Europe's energy lifeline from Russia. Only the United States has both the means and the motive.

Why Is no one Discussing the 25th Amendment for Joe Biden? President Joe Biden called for the late Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN) to appear during a live event on hunger and nutrition Wednesday. Walorski was killed in a car accident last month, and Biden had previously called her family to offer condolences. Though the White House attempted to spin his faux pas as a mere sign that Walorski was "top of mind," describing it as the kind of mistake that anyone could make, the embarrassing error was the latest evidence that Biden may not be mentally competent to hold the office of president. And yet there is no talk about removing him from office, using the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, under which the Vice President and the Cabinet submit a written statement to the leaders of Congress that the President is unable to discharge his duties. When President Donald Trump was in office, the media talked constantly about the 25th Amendment.

Biden mindlessly yells at gas station owners to slash prices at the pump: 'Do it now'. President Biden once again shirked any responsibility for skyrocketing gas prices and instead demanded that gas stations cut prices at the pump for drivers despite their costs to stay in business being dictated by the market. [Video clip] His flawed economic reasoning is that oil prices are dropping. Oil prices are not the only factor in the price of a gallon of gasoline. Taxation and crushing regulation as well as progressive policies have a lot to do with it. It's almost as if Biden and the left want to drive gas stations out of business.

Joe and Hunter's Fang Fang Problem. It was worse than we thought. It turns out that Hunter Biden's drug enslavement, sex addiction, and penchant for Russkie hookers didn't stop there. It was probably worse than his hinky "big guy" business deals, diamond "gifts," and unearned Ukrainian paydays. There was a Chinese spy involved. Just like Democrat Eric Swalwell's Fang Fang.

The Elephant in the Room Roars to Life. Though the signs of decline have been obvious since well before he was inaugurated, this week — over a year and a half into Joe Biden's time in office — the mainstream media have finally taken off the kid gloves on the issue of Joe Biden's mental fitness after the elephant in the room finally roared to life. As we previously reported, a clearly unprepared press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was peppered with a barrage of questions Wednesday about President Joe Biden calling out and searching for Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) during a White House conference on hunger, apparently forgetting that she'd passed away nearly two months ago in a car accident along with two aides. "Jackie, are you here? Where's Jackie?" a befuddled-looking Joe Biden said as he looked around the room for Walorski. [Video clip]

Did the US (or its agents) blow up the Nordstream pipelines? Thanks to an open threat issued by President Biden, the question must be asked: Is the United States behind the two explosions that caused a massive natural gas leak into the Baltic Sea? The incident has cut off Russia's ability to deliver methane gas to Germany and other European nations. The release of methane into the water and atmosphere is killing marine life and delivering a greenhouse gas pollutant into the atmosphere that would be gravely feared by believers in man-made global warming. The word "eco-terrorism" comes to mind the describe the act of sabotage, if that's what the explosions were. [...] What raises intense suspicion on the United States is the very specific threat that President Biden issued against Nordstream last February 7: [...]

When do we see President Biden wearing a sweater? You think the price of everything is up? Wait until the seasons change up north and your electricity bill shows up in the mailbox. Talk about sticker shock. Talk about people rediscovering their fireplaces to keep their homes warm, not just to share a glass of wine with their favorite person. [...] The Democrats may get lucky because most of these big bills will get mailed out after Thanksgiving. Nevertheless, this is a great opportunity to remind the voters that our energy cost crisis was largely self-inflicted. We have all the energy we need to keep our costs down. We are not Europe, having to depend on Putin for energy. We have our own and could flood the market with oil and natural gas to keep prices down. We did it under President Trump. Are you ready for a presidential speech about wearing a sweater and controlling your thermostat?

The Case for Impeachment Gets Stronger. Not only has more information come to light about Biden's illegal conduct, but he also has pushed a number of new policies that are constitutionally suspect at best and deserve intensive congressional scrutiny — assuming the Republicans don't blow the midterms in November. I argued that the impeachment effort should be about educating moderate voters, independent voters, and even working-class Democrats about the stunning number of unconstitutional actions undertaken by the Biden Administration. It doesn't matter if the GOP doesn't have the two-thirds vote necessary in the Senate to convict and remove Biden from office. That's not the point. After all, a successful impeachment and removal would put Kamala Harris in the Oval Office, and she may be even worse. Some pundits claim that impeaching Biden would hurt the GOP politically. That's nuts. The Democrats impeached Trump twice and used those hearings to convince many former Trump voters to abandon him in 2020. Along with all the "2000 Mules"-type cheating, it worked. Similarly, the GOP should drag out the impeachment hearings for a year while they feature an array of credible witnesses to testify how this man has declared war on the American middle class and brought our country to the brink of economic collapse. Try as they might, such political theater would be difficult for the media to ignore.

The Editor says...
Great idea, but the Republicans don't have the collective backbone to follow through with it.

Xi Whiz. Aren't we lucky that both the mainstream and social media blocked the news about Hunter's laptop? Aside from all the disgusting images found on it of Hunter's drug and orgy-filled days and nights, the "Big Guy's" take from the Chinese bribery was kept from the voters when it surely would have made a difference. [...] Bought Biden stays bought. Here's his payback to Xi: Energy policies that hamstring domestic energy production, fueling inflated prices, and shortages of everything including food. Policies which benefit China, which is presently spewing more carbon-dioxide emissions into the world's atmosphere than any other country on the planet — 30%. And this will probably rise as the U.S. and Europe stupidly abandon fossil fuels before there are any viable alternatives. Now we learn that in addition to China's long-known industrial espionage, the administration has made it easy for China to steal our nuclear secrets.

Creepy Joe strikes again. He's not even trying anymore. Instead of putting on his best face as Mr. Devout Catholic, Creepy Joe Biden seems to be positively advertising his pervy attraction to children, throwing them in everyone's face, based on a speech he gave before a teachers' union group, which laughed merrily at old Joe's brand of "humor." [...] There are plenty of cases of where Joe Biden's relationships with children has been significantly questionable. His relationship with his own daughter, for one, Ashley Biden, who complained in her purloined diary about being forced to shower with Joe, is Exhibit A. [...] There are also creepy, inchoate accounts from him about kids and his leg hair in a swimming pool, as well as reports of his swimming naked as uncomfortable Secret Service guards were forced to watch. Besides this, there's the curious hypersexualized behavior of two of his kids — Hunter and Ashley, which in Hunter's case, based on his abandoned laptop contents, may include activity with underage girls, something he might have picked up as 'normal' growing up in the Biden home. These are all real instances of Joe's creepy proclivities.

Who's our real president? Joe Biden — or the staffers who keep walking back his comments? Is Joe Biden President? That's the question to ask after staffers walked back Biden's latest remarks on Taiwan. During his rather uneven "60 Minutes" interview with Scott Pelley last weekend, Biden firmly and clearly announced that the United States would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion. This was a dramatic statement, and a substantial shift from America's traditional policy of "strategic ambiguity" on Taiwan, in which our response to Chinese saber-rattling over the island nation was essentially "fool around and find out." Biden was not at all ambiguous: If China went to war with Taiwan, it would be war with the United States and its allies. That departure made some sense. Back in February, Biden seemed to grant Vladimir Putin a green light to invade Ukraine. White House spokesmen quickly walked that back, but the green light, coming directly from Biden's lips, apparently convinced Putin that he could launch an invasion without blowback.

This should have been done about a month ago:
Republicans Send Preservation Notice to Ex-FBI Official Accused of Shutting Down Hunter Biden Investigation. Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee sent a preservation notice Friday to former FBI official Timothy Thibault, warning Thibault to save records related to the multiple whistleblower allegations he is facing in the event Republicans take the majority and are able to conduct a formal investigation. The Republicans referenced in their letter Breitbart News's report from July revealing an FBI whistleblower had accused Thibault, a former assistant special agent in charge, of pressuring agents to reclassify cases as "domestic violent extremism" despite limited evidence supporting reclassification.

White House corrects inaccurate Biden boast about gas prices. During a campaign-style Friday speech at a Democratic National Committee event in Washington, President Joe Biden boasted about the three-month decline in gas prices and about the unemployment rate. But he used inaccurate figures on both subjects.

Biden Shock The Crowd — He Appeared To Implicate Himself In A Romantic Relationship With A Minor. President Brain-Dead Biden raised some eyebrows on Friday when he made a comment that likely did not come across the way he intended. While speaking at the National Education Association, the president spoke about a variety of issues, including schooling across America, something that has become a top issue going into November's midterms. At one point, Biden looked at someone in the crowd and said: "You gotta say high to me. We go back a long way. She was 12 and I was 30, but anyway, this woman helped me get a lot done." [Video clip]

'She was 12, I was 30': Biden leaves viewers stunned in teachers speech. President Biden shocked viewers of his Friday speech to teachers when he recognized an audience member and told the crowd, "She was 12, I was 30." Biden lit up social media with the confounding and seemingly inappropriate aside. He did not say what he did when he was 30 and the woman was a preteen. "You gotta say hi to me," Biden said mid-speech at the National Education Association headquarters in DC. "We go back a long way. She was 12, I was 30. But anyway, this woman helped me get an awful lot done." The audience of teachers and union members laughed and cheered at the bawdy remark.

Key congressman says Hunter Biden was 'operative for foreign influence,' belongs in jail. Alleging that Hunter Biden "clearly" acted as "an operative for foreign influence" who failed to disclose foreign earnings and clients, an influential congressman is questioning why it has taken four years to decide whether to prosecute President Joe Biden's son. "It's surprising that he didn't go to jail," California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa said Monday on the "Just the News, Not Noise" TV show. Before the 2020 presidential election, damaging revelations from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop began surfacing in independent media outlets, leading to allegations of wide-ranging misconduct by the president's son, including alleged tax evasion, money laundering, business dealings with entities tied to China's ruling communist regime, undisclosed lobbying for foreign clients and trading on his father's name and foreign policy clout to secure overseas business. Establishment media outlets and major social media platforms attempted to ignore, censor or discredit the laptop story during the 2020 campaign, while, according to recent whistleblower reports, the FBI's Washington Field Office sought to block criminal investigation of the allegations.

Why is Joe Biden covering for Venezuela's dictator, Nicolas Maduro? Just as news leaks out about Venezuela's socialist dictator emptying his prisons to fuel Biden's border surge, Joe Biden has announced that sending these particular foreign criminals back is "not rational." [...] It didn't get very much press attention, but what Biden's actually saying is that as Venezuelan murderers, robbers, rapists, extortionists, fraudsters, motorcycle thugs, kidnappers, traffickers, and other plagues on society get through to the American side of the border, they should have no fear of being sent back. Joe's going to keep them here. As with all things Biden, it was an inchoate policy mumbled on the fly with zero consideration of the implications. The backstory here is that not only has Nicolás Maduro emptied his prisons, but he's refusing to take the Venezuelan criminals back, so any Venezuelan thug who makes it to another country such as the U.S. is ours to keep forever. Joe Biden is actually going along with that dictated term, and the result has been thousands of Venezuelan criminals unleashed onto the law-abiding in the U.S., with no fear of deportation.

Biden and DC Sure Know How to Put America Last. Joe Biden spoke today at the United Nations and delivered a swan song for globalism and climate change alarmism, while imagining that the United States was still enjoying a unipolar moment of unparalleled wealth and power that his ilk frittered away. What else can explain Joe Biden's de facto "Europe First" foreign policy, and his inability to call out the wealthy moochers of Europe who talk a good game about Russia and Ukraine but have reneged on their promises to pay for more defense. Also in the weakness department, Biden said nothing about the Mexican and Latin American governments sitting before him that do nothing to stem the tide of illegals invading America, or the criminal networks that facilitate them. The icing on the cake was telling the Chinese government most of what it wanted to hear.

Are Democrats Deliberately Choosing Impaired Candidates? [Scroll down] My observation leads me places I would rather not go. With Joe Biden in the White House, he is clearly doing what he is told by others. This much is clear; he simply does not have the stamina, the wisdom, or the political acumen necessary to be an effective President of the United States. His gaffes, his verbal dyslexia, his delusional prevarications, his garbled verbiage, and his ability to reliably make statements his handlers have to mop up afterward, are all deeply troubling. No political party would run such a candidate unless two things were happening: One, the election would be guaranteed to affect a win for the candidate, and two, the candidate would simply be a figurehead for the real powers behind the throne. Biden would have to know that others would be running his presidency. Were he and Jill that easy to roll? If someone offered a Democrat the most powerful position on the planet and told him, "Don't worry, we will do all the hard work, you just relax and sign the papers," wouldn't most Democrats close the space between them and a pen at the speed of light? Biden would have to have assumed that his old buddy, Barack Obama (and his underlings) would be doing the heavy lifting, allowing Lunchbucket Joe to cruise, basking in the reflected glory without lifting a finger.

House Democrats Kill Resolution to Investigate Hunter Biden. House Democrats on the Oversight Committee on Tuesday voted against a Republican resolution that would have ordered President Joe Biden's administration to turn over documents about Hunter Biden's business deals. The "resolution of inquiry," led by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the top Republican on the Oversight Committee, would have ordered Biden's administration to provide a plethora of documents about the Biden family's overseas business deals, including those involving the president's son, Hunter. Although all 19 Republicans voted in favor of the resolution, 23 Democrats voted to kill the resolution after just two hours of debate, according to CNN.

Man Charged With Killing Teen Echoed Biden's 'Republican Extremism' Rhetoric To Justify His Act. The man charged with fatally hitting and running over a North Dakota teen justified the act by echoing the same "extremism" rhetoric President Joe Biden wielded against Republicans during his most recent address. Shannon Brandt, 41, mowed down 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson early Sunday morning over what he later claimed was a "political argument" over whether "the teen was part of a Republican extremist group." That language strongly resembles the description used by Biden just a few weeks ago to describe Trump and "MAGA Republicans" as being "a threat to the very soul of this country." In that speech, Biden claimed it was Republicans who had "blind loyalty to a single leader and a willingness to engage in political violence[.]" Ellingson was reportedly participating in a street dance before the incident occurred.

A Figurehead Fiddles While America Burns. Joe Biden has ruled against the will of the people for almost two years as a straw boss who has earned the title of capo di tutti capo of human traffickers. Often exceeding his constitutional authority to circumvent congressional lawmaking, he has brought insufferable hardship to the lives of millions of illegal aliens, not to mention the deterioration of America's southwestern border towns and urban destinations. Taking Democrat mayors and governors to task for their all-talk sanctuary policies, Republican border governors are busing willing migrants to Democrat strongholds. In the liberal bastion of Martha's Vineyard, where visitors arrive only by plane or boat, the arrival of fifty illegal border crossers by charter airline from Florida immediately became the rage at patio fundraisers, caused the chatty Obamas to fall silent, prompted the National Guard to mobilize, and precipitated a crisis not seen since Edgartown ran out of men's pastels. In September, the tourists are mostly gone from Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven.

As Biden Closes in on 100 Executive Orders, He's Costing Taxpayers an Astronomical Amount of Money. Biden is a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat who's lived in the pretend world of D.C. politics for nearly 50 years, has no concept of life in the real world, has never seen a wealth redistribution scam he didn't wholeheartedly embrace, and has become a multimillionaire in the process. It doesn't take a proverbial rocket scientist to figure out that disastrous combination.

Biden's '60 Minutes' Interview Proved Once Again He Isn't Running The Country, So Who Is? Factoring in his numerous incoherent statements and ramblings about getting "in trouble" with his staff for engaging with the press, Biden's Taiwan blunders and the White House's repeated walk backs reveal what many Americans have suspected for the past year and a half, which is that Biden is not running the U.S. government. As has long been held throughout American history, it is the president that heads up and steers U.S. foreign policy, not unelected bureaucrats. Yet that is exactly the situation the country finds itself in today. At every turn of his presidency, Biden has abdicated his responsibilities to unknown White House staffers, who direct and carry out the government's major policy initiatives while America's commander in chief slinks away to his Delaware beach house at every available opportunity. In essence, Biden has become nothing more than a puppet, whose strings are being controlled by unnamed, high-level White House officials to shape America and her foreign policy through whatever means necessary. Whether it's getting lost on stage after giving a public speech or having his wife prevent him from answering press questions, Biden has demonstrated time and again that he isn't remotely capable of handling the most basic tasks of a fully functioning human being, let alone those of a U.S. president.

MTG introduces Articles of Impeachment over Biden's dangerous oil reserves game. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) officially introduced Articles of Impeachment against President Biden on Monday for selling off our Strategic Oil Reservices to the highest bidder which will almost certainly include our enemies. Greene's move follows the Department of Energy announcing on Monday that it is auctioning off 10 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). "I just introduced Articles of Impeachment on President Joe Biden. Joe Biden is selling our strategic petroleum reserves. This should never happen. He is draining our reserves and selling our oil. American's oil to foreign countries and China is a top buyer," Greene stated in a video released on Twitter.

White House spurs speculation when it overrules Biden on pandemic being over: 'He is not in charge'. President Joe Biden's declaration of victory over COVID when he said that the pandemic was over triggered leftist dead-enders who bitterly cling to their masks and mandates and brought yet another correction from the White House that contradicted him while further confirming suspicions that he isn't the one running the show. During a "60 Minutes" interview with CBS anchor Scott Pelley that aired on Sunday, Biden clearly stated, "the pandemic is over," while strolling through the Detroit Auto Show where he made another pitch for the forced conversion to electric vehicles last week. "We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over," Biden added, drawing howls of protest from angry leftists on Twitter as well as the White House quickly walking back what he said.

Rick Scott: Biden 'Incoherent,' 'Incapacitated' — 'I Do Hope He Runs Again'. During an appearance on Monday's [9/19/2022] broadcast of Fox Business Network's "Mornings with Maria," Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, criticized President Joe Biden for what appears to be a deteriorating mental condition. However, he said he hoped Biden would run for president again in 2024 because it could better the chance of a GOP victory.

Joe Biden Puts Humpty Dumpty To Shame. Last week, the Biden administration tried to convince the public that inflation was a thing of the past and the southern border was secure. Before that, the president attempted to redefine inflation. It's been a running theme of this administration, one Joe Biden never gets called on because the press is too busy accepting whatever meaning he chooses. So here, as a reader service, is a collection of how Humpty Dumpty Biden is choosing what words will mean. [...]

Biden nears 100 executive orders estimated to cost taxpayers almost $1.5 trillion. President Biden has issued nearly 100 executive orders, which will cost taxpayers up to $1.5 trillion, as the national debt nears $31 trillion, according to an expert. Biden currently sits at 99 executive orders since taking office. His torrent pace came primarily within his first year, when he issued more than any president since the 1970s. Memos show at least one outside left-wing group financed by millions from liberal billionaire George Soros has influenced some of Biden's orders and regulatory items. A budgetary impact analysis, meanwhile, accompanies each order but does not include actual monetary costs. Instead, they contain vague language such as whether an order will have no impact, increase or decrease federal costs. This makes it difficult to pinpoint the actual price tag of Biden's actions.

On 60 Minutes, President Biden Admits His Student-Loan Order Is Illegal. On 60 Minutes this evening [9/18/2022], President admitted aloud that his decision to transfer up to a trillion dollars in student-loan debt to taxpayers without congressional approval is flatly unconstitutional: [Quoting from a tweet:] "The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over," President Biden tells 60 Minutes in an interview in Detroit. [End of tweet] Why does Biden's statement matter so much? I'll tell you: It matters because the memo that the Biden administration released to justify his order rested entirely upon there being an ongoing emergency, and because, as Biden has just confirmed, there is no ongoing emergency.

As Biden Leaves London He's Is Given a "Proper" English Goodbye by the Locals — No MSM Coverage. During the funeral, it was Joe Biden himself who managed to seize that moment to embarrass the U.S. with Joe being typical Joe. One thing you really shouldn't be late for is a funeral. It starts on time and they're not waiting for you, particularly when it's the Queen and every moment is highly choreographed. However, that didn't stop Joe Biden. According to The Guardian, Biden was late to the funeral. [Video clip] I can't think of a President who has been ridiculed so much when he travels overseas, as Joe Biden has. Now, I know all leaders get ribbed and whatnot, but it's different with Joe. This guy is heckled and disrespected everywhere he goes. Even to a Royal funeral, for crying out loud. He's a total joke and nobody takes him seriously, and I really hope he knows that. Well, I am sure he heard those hecklers on Downing Street in London. They were so close to his car. There was no way he couldn't hear it.

Joe Biden Delivers a Mess of a 60 Minutes Interview, Leaves His Handlers Scrambling. Joe Biden appeared on 60 Minutes on Sunday evening, and it was an absolute disaster of an interview. As I type this, stories are already coming out about how he blindsided officials in his administration and how his handlers are scrambling to clean up the mess. In fact, within an hour of the interview premiering, the first clarification had already dropped regarding comments the president made about defending Taiwan from a Chinese attack. That was the second time in the last few months that the administration has had to walk back Biden's comments on the subject. Things didn't get better as the topics changed. When asked about inflation, Biden gave perhaps the worst answer imaginable. [Tweet]

Cleanup on Aisle 46: Joe Biden makes a mess of his 60 Minutes interview. [Joe Biden] has no idea where inflation comes from, he fails to understand that 8.3% inflation is very expensive for workers, and he has no serious plan to get rid of it. He instead spun the matter as "energy prices are down" even as other prices are up, signaling that he doesn't understand that inflation is a monetary, not an energy, phenomenon, as Milton Friedman noted. And since he has no idea where inflation comes from, he believes that if he can gain control of the economy and dictate price cuts to special interests on some items, such as medical paraphernalia, inflation will go away. Doesn't work that way. and now the public can see for itself how little Joe knows. This is wretched stuff, and a strong signal to the markets to keep the selloff going.

Equal Justice, They Said. [Scroll down] Donald Trump is continually audited for possible tax violations. Fine, but, given Hunter Biden's laptop and the testimony of the Biden family co-grifters, has any Biden ever been under serious investigation for not reporting tens of millions of dollars in shake-down money, or gifting millions to Biden children? How about lying under oath or to federal investigators? Are those activities still crimes?

Laptop from hell revisited. Brendan O'Neill interviews Miranda Devine on the laptop from hell — as O'Neill notes, Devine wrote the book on it — and related subjects in the terrific Spiked podcast below. Spiked has posted the podcast [elsew]here with this précis: "Miranda discusses her role in the groundbreaking investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop, the FBI and Big Tech's attempt to kill the story, and how the cover-up is now falling to pieces." I think I know the story, but I learned from the podcast. It draws out the deep meaning and totalitarian implications of the story's suppression. [Podcast]

Biden Sold a Million Barrels From US Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China-Owned Gas Giant. The Biden administration sold roughly one million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese state-controlled gas giant that continues to purchase Russian oil, a move the Energy Department said would "support American consumers" and combat "Putin's price hike." Biden's Energy Department in April announced the sale of 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation. That company, which is commonly known as Sinopec, is wholly owned by the Chinese government. The Biden administration claimed the move would "address the pain Americans are feeling at the pump" and "help lower energy costs." More than five million barrels of oil released from the U.S. emergency reserves, however, were sent overseas last month, according to a Wednesday Reuters report. At least one shipment of American crude went to China, the report said.

Media's Top Eight Hunter Biden Laptop Deniers — And Many, Many Honorable Mentions. In commemoration of the launch of our first movie, My Son Hunter, I have attempted to find the origins of the contagion that is Hunter Biden laptop denial. It was one of the biggest stories of the century, broken in one of the country's oldest papers (the New York Post), and by a terrific reporter (Breitbart's own Emma-Jo Morris). In an era of endless spin and fake news, this story was 100% factual. Yet it was almost instantly dismissed as Russian disinformation and censored from the Internet. Who was behind this massive hoax? How did they pull it off?

The Biden Family Is an American Disgrace. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. Scripture tells us that clearly, and we can see it manifestly all around us. But when we find yet more evidence that America's First Family is little other than rejects from a Jerry Springer episode, we have to admit it makes our blood boil, especially given that Joe Biden won by being touted by far too many Americans as the moral superior of Donald Trump. [Mitigating anecdotes omitted for brevity.] However, that's no excuse for the lies Biden tells about his family or the ways he's enriched himself by exploiting his alcohol- and drug-addicted son Hunter for pay-to-play schemes in Ukraine and China. Moreover, the whole family's history is sordid. Joe and Jill Biden likely began their relationship with Jill being unfaithful to her first husband. Jill has mistreated her cognitively impaired husband in order to reach the top of the power ladder. If their drug-addict daughter Ashley's diary is to be believed, Creepy Joe behaved at a minimum extremely inappropriately by showering with her as a kid. No wonder she struggles with drug addiction. Hunter blames his own addictions on the trauma of his mother and brother's deaths, and, to be sure, that laptop of his reveals a repulsively degenerate lifestyle that is obviously a cry for help, not exploitation.

Biden Falsely Claims He Was "Teaching" Before He Ran For President in 2020 — Biden Has Never Taught a Single Class. Joe Biden on Thursday falsely claimed he was "teaching" before he ran for president in 2020. Over the years Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed he was a professor at UPenn. Joe Biden was paid $1 million by UPenn but he never taught a single class. This is one of Joe Biden's favorite lies.

Official says Biden made hasty, expensive trip to vote in Delaware because 'it was important'. The White House on Wednesday said President Biden's abrupt trip to Delaware to vote in person, which cost taxpayers thousands of dollars, was justified by his busy schedule. Critics said Mr. Biden could have used an absentee ballot or participated in early in-person voting when he was in Delaware over the weekend. Taxpayers had to pick up the tab for the extra Air Force One trip, plus the presidential motorcade and police escort to the polls. "The president has a very heavy schedule. He's the president of the United States. It worked out best for him to vote yesterday, to vote on Tuesday," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard Air Force One. "He thought it was important to exercise his constitutional right to vote, as I just mentioned, and set an example by showing the importance of voting."

A Leaking Ship of Fools. This win/lose confusion however goes way beyond athletics and the transgender mess. We can't even determine the outcomes of what are supposed to be free and fair elections. Despite the clear logic and solid evidence to the contrary, we're stuck struggling along with a president who clearly did not win the 2020 election. That's an uncertainty we can ill afford. Speaking of that, we seem to conflate image with reality. If a plurality of the population can be convinced that something is true, that means it is true. Really? If the people surrounding our illegal president say he's on top of his game, we're obliged to believe that is so. If no one admits to running the country behind the scenes, then we're to assume that all is well. This problem doubles back into the transgender kerfuffle in that we're all supposed to play dress-up with those who want to pretend they are something they're not. Distinctions are not to be made.

A Time of Evil. What we have seen the last two years, and especially the last few months can only be explained in one word. Evil. For this is a time of evil. There should be no doubt of this in anyone's mind after the Biden speech in Philadelphia. Biden's speech was evil. He looked as if he was the keynote speaker at Dante's Inferno. Biden looked like he was giving a sermon supporting Baal. Biden looked part Hitler and part Nero in his sinister bloody-minded speech in which he called half of America "enemies of the state." Imagine calling half of the American people an enemy to the homeland. Never has an American president declared war on half of the citizenry. But Biden did just that as he declared MAGA, America First, and all Trump supporters as enemies of democracy as well as treasonous and seditious felons. This was the most evil speech ever given by a president in American history.

Hunter Biden cries poverty in trying to slash child support for 4-year-old. Hunter Biden is trying to get his child support payments for his 4-year-old love child lowered by claiming a substantial change to his "financial circumstances," according to court documents. President Biden's son, 52, has asked an Arkansas judge to recalculate the child support payments he makes to Lunden Roberts, 31 — the mother of the daughter he's never met, according to a Monday court filing obtained by the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Hunter cited "a substantial material change" in his "financial circumstances, including but not limited to his income," for the reason behind his request. It wasn't immediately clear what the change in Hunter's income was. Brent Langdon, his Texas-based attorney who signed the motion, said reforms to the child support guidelines in Arkansas in 2020 were behind Hunter's push to review his payments.

Why Joe Biden can't change course on greenie madness. In many ways, Joe Biden's presidency is a baffling one. He's down in the polls, and his policies are disasters, but unlike, say, Bill Clinton, he can't change course, or moderate his direction, not even to save his presidency. He's particularly rigid on some of these policies, such as the green agenda, even as the voters say "no" and the obvious political consequences of that are coming for him. So what gives? Is he simply too old to change? That doesn't explain it, because he's been a political weathervane for the duration of his career. [...] Biden is a cash- and prestige-obsessed nobody of zero accomplishments and ideas, which makes him the perfect palimpsest for a foreign manipulator such as Wyss to get his hands on America and remake it his way. His money animates the policy, and since he's got no obligation to the American people, he can be as rigid as he pleases. Billionaires insist on value for their money, after all. That's why Biden can't change course.

Former Rolling Stone Editor: Biden's 'Menacing Manifesto' Against MAGA Republicans Created a Bigger Problem. It may seem like ages ago, but only ten days have passed since President Joe Biden decided to use Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to declare war on half the country. Mr. Unity is dead — never having any chance to bring together a nation with an agenda that only favors the 'woke,' educated, and wealthy. In other words, people who live on the coasts and in cities. The other side is that he could never articulate his intentions since he's dementia ridden. When Biden can enunciate with the help of drugs, it consistently demonizes people who didn't vote for him. That reached a boiling point with this September 3 address. I thought it had a throwback feeling to a Nuremberg rally c. 1938. Former Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi said it reminded him of a Rammstein concert. Taibbi focused on a critical portion of the address, where Biden spoke about how MAGA Republicans threaten the republic and what he plans to do. Will there be consequences for merely voting differently than the Democratic Party because it sure seems that way with a second reading of the address?

Everyone Around Biden Is an Election Denier, Including Him. If you watched Joe Biden's primetime speech on Thursday, you would have seen him insist that anyone who questions the results of an election is a "threat to our democracy." "Democracy cannot survive when one side believes that there are only two outcomes to an election: either they win or they were cheated," he claimed. "And that's where MAGA Republicans are today." Conveniently absent from his speech was the acknowledgment that Democrats have a long history of believing that the only two outcomes of an election are when they win or the election was stolen — including himself. In 2020, when a supporter of his told him she thought Trump was an illegitimate president, he agreed. In 2013, he also said he believed that Al Gore won the 2000 presidential election that he actually lost. Biden's vice president, Kamala Harris, also said that Trump was an illegitimate president. Biden's press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, also believes the 2016 election was stolen from Hillary. On top of that his own chief of staff, Ron Klain, still believes that the 2000 election was "stolen" from Al Gore.

Americans are fed up with Biden and a majority want him impeached. In terms of strong political feelings, Democrats and Republicans are pretty evenly divided in America. It's the independents who shift political outcomes in America. That's why it matters that a Rasmussen Reports survey shows that 50 percent of Independents would like to see Joe Biden impeached. When you add that to the Republicans and, believe it or not, the Democrats who want him out of office, there's a majority dreaming of a Biden impeachment.

KJP attempts to justify Biden's many vacations as struggling Americans cancel plans. President Joe Biden has spent one out of every three days on vacation since moving into the White House and his press secretary told reporters that he deserves that time "just as every American does." During Thursday's press briefing, a reporter asked Karine Jean-Pierre if the president would be curbing the many trips to his Wilmington, Delaware beach home, Kiawah Island, South Carolina, Nantucket, Massachusetts and Camp David. Citing a recent Gallup poll that said 24% of Americans are spending less, 17% are driving less and 17% are canceling vacations in response to unprecedented inflation, the reporter asked if Biden would be tightening his vacation belt.

Joe Biden's Latest Definition of "Ultra MAGA" Pushes Into Absurdity. In early September, Joe Biden delivered what has now been dubbed his "red speech." Somehow, the content managed to be worse than the presentation. The president railed against "MAGA Republicans," declaring them enemies of the state and a threat to the republic. Truly, it was the most obscene speech a president has given since the popularization of modern national addresses. Far from being a unifying figure, Biden chose to drive a knife through the heart of the country, and it didn't take long for the walk-backs to begin. Pretty soon, the president began insisting that he wasn't talking about "mainstream Republicans" and that the "ultra MAGA" represented a smaller proportion of the public.

Facebook — not the FBI — is to blame for blocking the Hunter Biden laptop story. As the Mar-a-Lago raid clearly demonstrated, the Biden administration has militarized the FBI to go after Joe Biden's political opponents. "The FBI is now an organization solely focused on destroying the domestic enemies of the Democratic Party," said radio host Jesse Kelly. But is the FBI responsible for suppressing the New York Post story about Hunter Biden's laptop two weeks before the 2020 election? Based on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's recent confession, the majority of the media say yes — the FBI did it. A closer examination of Zuckerberg's comments suggests that the correct answer is no. Zuckerberg himself bears the responsibility. Weeks before the 2020 election, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media companies decided to kill the October 14, 2020, New York Post article that confirmed the existence of Hunter Biden's laptop and exposed Joe Biden's corrupt activities in Ukraine. According to a new poll by Technometrica, nearly four out of five Americans believe that truthful media coverage of the laptop story would have prevented Joe Biden from becoming president.

How Joe Biden Lost My Vote. Joe Biden emerged from his speech last week "on the continued battle for the soul of our nation" like a squalling infant birthed from the loins of blue-check Twitter, bathed in the blood-red light of militant fascism. He was finally their guy. Gone was the empathy guy. Gone was the unity guy. Gone was the moderate guy. Be mean, Joe. Get them, Joe. Get tough, Joe. Tell them their participation in Democracy is a threat to ... Democracy! Yes, tell them, Joe. Tell the "MAGA Republicans" they're not welcome in their own country. Tell them their participation is a threat to a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Tell them that Democracy means they have to sit down and shut up. Tell the truck driver who travels coast to coast, working the graveyard shift, to bring freshly cut meat to supermarket shelves. Tell the police officer, the waitress, the bartender, the cable guy, the grocery store clerk, the grandmother, the garage mechanic, the veteran who served in Afghanistan who now has been kicked out of the military for not taking the vaccine, the mother of two who now must home school her children — that they are the violent extremists posing the biggest threat to the country they call home.

Sen. Hawley Shreds Biden for Criminalizing the Political Opposition. It wasn't just the DOJ and its attempts to boost Biden by raiding Trump that Hannity discussed on his show yesterday, though he did a good job discussing that with Trump's lawyer. He also had on Sen. Josh Hawley, who ripped into Biden for wielding law enforcement like a political club and attempting to intimidate the political opposition with it. Speaking on that, Hawley used examples of the criminal chaos spreading around the country to show that Team Biden and the other leftist hacks running things care not about law and order, but rather just about using LEOs to enforce their political agenda and wield power.

Dems want the midterms to be a referendum on Trump, not bungling Biden — and the media are compliant. Teddy Roosevelt's daughter Alice once said that he was "the bride at every wedding, the corpse at every funeral." No matter what was going on, he always wound up the center of attention. The same could be said for former President Donald Trump. No matter what's going on, he somehow seems to wind up driving the conversation. And today's news almost seems calculated to bring Trump to the forefront. You have the FBI's questionable raid on Mar-a-Lago, where the same agency that covered up Hunter Biden's laptop sent G-men to run their fingers through Melania's underwear. You have President Joe Biden's positively Mephistophelean red-lit speech in Philadelphia following his declaration that his opponents are "semi-fascists." You have Democratic officeholders in New York and Georgia trying to prosecute Trump. All generating steady Trump-related headlines. Well, if it seems calculated to bring Trump to the forefront, it's because it is calculated to bring Trump to the forefront. The truth is, the Biden people would rather this election be a referendum on Trump than a referendum on Biden. That's because if it's a referendum on Biden, the Democrats will lose, hands-down. And the press knows this, which is why it's cooperating.

Why 'Educated' Liberal Women Are the Real Threat to Our Republic. When last Thursday night Joe Biden told America, "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans" threaten "the very foundations of our republic," he missed the mark. The real threat comes from the unlikeliest of suspects: educated liberal females, or "ELFs" for short. These are the women who will proudly vote Democrat regardless of soaring inflation, rising gas prices, rampant crime in the streets, the unchecked flood of illegal aliens, and oppressive COVID policies that have irreparably damaged all children, the poor most notably. If NBC's polling from April is to be believed, this is the only demographic cohort more favorably inclined to Democrats in 2022 than in 2018. Unable to sell these women on his accomplishments — there are none — Biden last week appealed to their paranoia. What made this pitch strategic is his target audience's proven susceptibility to fear-based propaganda.

So the Obamas and the Bidens are just talking 'nostalgia' at the White House? [Scroll down] More likely, the meeting is about the midterms, and the Democrats' problem of having a leader who's senile, doddering and incompetent on the economy, a leader so incompetent he's losing the party its black, Latino, Asian, youth and suburban women voter base, as inflation, crime, an open border, the disastrous Afghanistan pullout and other problems take over the economy, and only the most extremist position on abortion up until the day of birth is in the Democrats' offerings. Apparently filling the White House with Obama operatives such as Susan Rice has not been enough. Democrats across the board, including in the Obama camp, know that Joe Biden is a liability and they don't want him to run for president again. These thing spell instant legacy erasure for Obama, and Obama has got to be letting Joe know it.

Biden took a booming economy without inflation and turned it into a high-inflation bust. There's a growing view inside the mainstream media that Joe Biden's recent legislative victories and his recent speeches that MAGA Republicans are a threat to democracy and are "semi-fascists" are going to give the Democrats some midterm momentum and they're going to overtake the GOP by snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. I'm not buying it and here's why you shouldn't either. First of all, the new legislation is not popular. By 36% to 12%, an Economist-YouGov poll shows that voters believe the IRA legislation will actually increase inflation. As for the student loan cancellation, a poll from another network shows by 59% to 38% that voters believe that too will increase inflation. By the way, the latest inflation report for July was 8.5% year-on-year and the inflation tracker from the Cleveland Fed predicts an 8.2% CPI for both August and September.

Report: Palace Intrigue Hits Fever Pitch as WH Knows Joe Blew It With 'Dark Brandon' Speech. The aftermath of President Joe Biden's viciously partisan primetime address dubbed by conservatives as the "Dark Brandon speech" has not been kind to the White House, with Republicans and even some Democrats alike slamming various facets of the speech, and with even some in the Biden-friendly mainstream media coming down hard on the grotesque optics of it all. Not even 24 hours after his address and perhaps already sensing he went too far, Biden started walking it back when pressed by reporters on his labeling of so-called "MAGA Republicans" as representative of "an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic." In response to a reporter's question, Biden said, "I don't consider any Trump supporter a threat to the country." Oh really?

What is the Conservative plan to deal with Biden's fourth reich? The time has come for a coalition of governors, attorneys general, and state legislators to demonstrate the power of broad-based federalism to interpose against extreme federal tyranny. Many conservative commentators have finally woken up to smell the stench of the Fourth Reich following Biden's speech targeting political opposition, reminiscent of the authoritarian language of past dictators. However, they should have been awake since March 2020, when our government declared de facto martial law on our lives, liberty, and property and used our bodies as lab rats with an ever-growing list of experimental therapies. They should have awoken from their slumber after Americans were targeted with solitary confinement and disproportionate punishment for zero or nebulous crimes at the Capitol on January 6, after months of killing, rioting, and looting by BLM with impunity. If Biden's speech is really to be a turning point in this one-sided cold war that is heating up, conservatives should resolve to use the power they already wield over Republican governors and demand united action for states to protect constitutional rights from this thuggish Biden administration and national security deep state apparatus that threatens our liberties more than any foreign enemy in our history. Rather than making idle promises of winning back the House with RINOs or winning back the presidency years from now when it's too late, we should be demanding action now from 20 or so GOP trifecta-controlled state governments. If they fail to take action now, then the entire point of federal elections with divided government is moot.

Democrats Dangerously Copy The Tactics Of Famous Fascists. These are not just idle words: It's Joe Biden, the head of the American government, with all the resources at its disposal, telling 70+ million Americans they are a threat to the nation. And in case anyone missed the point, after having just passed a law to hire 87,000 armed IRS agents, the administration hired Nikole Flax, who worked with Lois Lerner at the IRS when it was targeting conservatives during the Obama administration, to run the new division. Joe Biden and the Democrats have just created the largest armed police force in the nation and set as its leader someone associated with the targeting of their political opponents. Joe Biden's words are not just words... they're threats. The leader of the government paints his political opponents as extremists and then exhorts his supporters to "confront" them. "We're all called by duty and conscience to confront extremists who put their own pursuit of power above all else."

Ever wonder how big Joe Biden's Social Security check is? According to President Biden's tax return for last year, the first couple received a whopping $4,555 a month in Social Security benefits alone which put them well above what the average retired American brings home each month. And that doesn't include all of their other streams of income. Social Security just celebrated its 87th birthday. It was signed into law in August 1935 and payouts began on Jan. 1, 1940. It has become the safety net for more than 48 million retired Americans and many depend on a monthly check from the agency to survive. The average Social Security check is $1,670.95, according to The Motley Fool. A Gallup poll reports that 89 percent of surveyed retirees count on Social Security as a "major" or "minor" source of income. That means only one in 10 Americans aren't reliant on Social Security income to get by during retirement. The Bidens are in that group.

How Old Bad Ideas Become Wonderful. Our Tail Gunner Joe (of semi-truck driving expertise and brilliant legal training fame) in a single week smeared roughly half the country as un-American "semi-fascists." Then in one of the creepiest speeches and background sets in American political history, Joe Biden railed that "Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country." Franklin Roosevelt declared war on Japan in careful, sober, and exacting presidential tones; Joe Biden all but declared war against half his own people like a raving lunatic. All that was missing from the rant was Biden waving to the crowd a purported list of names of prominent MAGA threats to our collective soul and screaming, "I have here in my hand a list of 205 members of the MAGA Party!" Yet Biden never quite told us what was subversive about the "MAGA Scare" or wanting to "Make America Great Again."

Cover-Up: Biden Treasury Makes Move to Stop GOP From Getting Hunter Biden Records. The ranking member of the House Oversight Committee Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has been trying for months to get the Suspicious Activity Reports — anti-money laundering reports that flag suspicious transactions — that have been filed by banks against Hunter Biden. Now, the word is in from Biden's Treasury Department that they have formally rejected his request for the information because the Democrats aren't part of the request. Comer blasted the decision as "unacceptable."

Joe Biden Attempts to Change Shape in Deranged Public Display. Unsurprisingly, the Democrat Party remains in denial about what it has become over the last several years. Once upon a time, a liberal could loudly proclaim themselves as standing for the "working man" without receiving four Pinocchios. That period has passed, though, and Joe Biden has apparently not gotten the message. On Monday, he gave a series of Labor Day speeches in which he came across as deranged, both because of how he appeared and what he said. Things got so bad that he had what some are describing as a Howard Dean moment, and I think agree. Take a look for yourself. [Video clip]

Why Republicans Shouldn't Take the Bait and Make the Midterms a Referendum on Trump. President Biden's address in Philadelphia underscored the attempt to put Trump in the middle of the November ballot. Politico reports that President Biden's speech was months in the making. According to their sources, Biden started planning to give a speech about threats to our democracy in June. As if a man who can barely get out a coherent sentence and shakes hands with people who are not there is capable of that kind of pre-planning. Whenever Biden's staff began to plan the event, it appears the speech will go down in history as the most divisive in modern politics. One of the worst aspects of the event was the visuals. After reviewing the photos several times to ensure the visuals were as bad as he first thought, [Mark] Meckler concluded that he had never seen an American president look more dictatorial and fascistic. While he thinks the visuals may be an unfortunate error, they aligned with what he calls an incredibly fascist speech. "Whoever on his [Biden's] team thought that black and red and making him look like a Nazi dictator was a good idea, that person ought to be removed," observed Meckler.

Laurence Fox: 'My Son Hunter' Is 'a Gangster Comedy' About the 'Corrupt' and 'Powerful' Biden Family. Actor Laurence Fox, who portrayed Hunter Biden in the forthcoming film My Son Hunter, described the movie profiling President Joe Biden's youngest son as "a gangster comedy about the Biden family" in an interview [...] He remarked, "You want your average Democrat to be able to watch it and not see it as this sort of very partisan political film. It's actually not particularly partisan. ... It's a gangster comedy about the Biden family, who seem, from what I can tell, to be amongst the most corrupt of the powerful families in America."

Film Review: 'My Son Hunter': Director Robert Davi's Brilliant Biden Satire. Less than a minute after the start of the hotly anticipated "My Son Hunter," director Robert Davi and screenwriter Brian Godawa include an 11-word text scroll (with tongue firmly in cheek) that both downsizes and heightens the expectations of what we're about to see: "This is not a true story ... except for all the facts." By doing this, the filmmakers somewhat defuse what is sure to be an onslaught of negative reactions from the mainstream media, its minions, and the dozen or so people who still think Joe Biden is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Had this movie been presented as a straight-out drama with a chronological narrative, it simply wouldn't have worked. The sheer jaw-dropping, truth-is-stranger-than-fiction nature of the depicted events is so brazen, so self-aggrandizing, so outrageous, and so self-parodying, it all but begs for a satirical treatment.

So Joe Biden was behind the FBI's Mar-a-Lago raid all along. Joe Biden has made his obsession with President Trump known, most recently through his hellishly lit Mussolini-meltdown speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia last week, manically painting Trump and all his voters as "threats to the republic." He may be doddering and insentient, but he still burns bright against his potential opponent in the 2024 presidential race, which even Democrats don't want him to get involved with. On Trump, Biden's as obsessed with Trump as Stalin was with Trotsky. So it comes to light that not only has Biden tried to smear Trump as a danger to democracy and "threat to the republic," in a sorry public relations campaign that isn't working, he's also trying to eliminate President Trump from the entire 2024 presidential race by probably the gamiest maneuvers ever played by a politician in U.S. history. It turns out that Biden was behind the raid on Trump's home in Mar-a-Lago on August 4.

As in 2020, Trump speaks to tens of thousands and Biden speaks to tens. In 2016, Trump spoke to tens of thousands, and Hillary spoke to hundreds...and Trump won. In 2020, despite COVID, Trump spoke to tens of thousands, and Biden spoke to... well, not even tens. Maybe to fives, all of whom sat in little marked circles far away from each other. And yet it's Biden who's in the White House. Now it's 2022, and once again, Trump is speaking to tens of thousands, and Biden is speaking to tens. What can and should we take away from that? The head-to-head comparison comes from Benny Johnson, who put together a video showing Trump's and Biden's appearances in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

Biden Has a Labor Day Festival of Fail With Remarks in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Joe Biden keeps digging himself and his fellow Democrats a big hole with his continuing attacks on millions of Americans who support America being great. I get that's a tough concept for Joe and the folks on the left who are used to hating America. But it's not going over well with most Americans that he's taken that tactic. As we saw from the Reuters poll at the end of last week, he's at close to his lowest polling numbers for that poll at 38 percent approval. He also just hit his lowest numbers with independents in the YouGov poll. So if he thinks he's appealing to anyone other than rabid Democrats with these ridiculous attacks, it's not working and it may be hurting him. However, that's not stopping Biden from still doing it and lying his head off in the process.

Will the person or persons who wrote that vile speech please step forward? While pathetic old Joe Biden delivered his "soul of the nation" speech on Thursday with the fury and rage of a demented man, everyone knows he did not write the words he spewed with such venom. So, who did write it? And exactly who thought staging the event like Hitler's Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl was a good idea and that parroting Hitler's gestures would win over supporters? The Nazi-like staging could only be lost on the very young. Are the writer (or writers) and stage designers so contemptuous of America, as Obama surely was, that they thought presenting Biden as some third world dictator would be well-received? From Independence Hall where our Founders signed the Declaration of Independence?

Poll: Voters See Biden's Philadelphia Speech As 'Dangerous' and 'Designed to Incite Conflict'. According to a new poll of 1,000 likely voters from Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group, a majority of voters believe the White House designed Biden's primetime speech to attack his political opponents. They also viewed it as dangerous and believe the president intended to create conflict between Americans.

I'm A Democrat Who Thinks Biden's Anti-Democratic Rhetoric Has Gone Too Far. [Scroll down] After all, while the president warns about fascism (or "semi-fascism," whatever that is) in America, his administration is the one censoring people who disagree with it and trying to prosecute its political opponents, both flagrant violations of democratic norms. His administration is the one that, while claiming to crack down on Big Tech, works with it to punish dissenting voices and stifle debate. His administration is one that attacks its critics as terrorists, and which compares speech to violence. His administration is the one that felt bold enough to create a "disinformation" board within the Department of Homeland Security, an Orwellian concept that the world has not seen on such a large scale since those 1930s regimes that Biden says he hates. These are not signs of a healthy democracy. They are not what Biden promised to deliver during his 2020 campaign or his inaugural address. Voters have noticed.

Biden Barely Draws a Few Dozen Supporters at Labor Day Rally in Pennsylvania Two Days After Trump Drew Over Ten Thousand at Wilkes-Barre. Joe Biden was greeted by a few dozen supporters at a Labor Day rally a steelworkers union hall in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania late Monday afternoon, according to videos and photos posted by press from the rally, including this screen image and photo by TribLive's Ryan Deto. [Photo] The sparse turnout for Biden in his homes state comes two days after President Trump packed the 10,000 seat Mohegan Sun Arena at a rally in Wilke-Barre. The crowd in West Mifflin for Biden is even smaller than the one for his own Wilkes-Barre rally that preceded Trump's that drew a few hundred.

Biden Puts the 'Total' in Totalitarianism. The visual similarity between Joe Biden's event and some nighttime events at Nuremberg are just too striking to be coincidental. Leni Riefenstahl, as someone noted, would have been proud. Those who point out that Biden's speech took place on September 1, a fraught day on the Polish border anno domini 1939, may be too ingenious for this historically illiterate age, but who knows? Often these things are, as our Marxists friends like to say, no accident. There are wheels within wheels. Which brings me to the question of the intent behind the theatrics. Was this exercise in garish, totalitarian kitsch a "gaffe," as some are saying — an aesthetic miscalculation for which that blinking inarticulate muppet who is Biden's press secretary will have to apologize? Apparently not, since she just said that the speech was "not political."

Was it presidential historian Jon Meacham who wrote Biden's Mussolini Meltdown speech? Joe Biden's Mussolini meltdown moment in Philadelphia, which was summed up to voters with the image below, left a lot of people on both sides of the political aisle scratching their heads. After all, as the meme says, "If you're going to dedicate an entire speech to 'my opponents are Nazis' don't specifically go for this visual". Just days earlier, Joe Biden had been denouncing Republicans as "semi-fascists." In the wake of the Philly speech, voters learned that apparently, it was the "semi" part that upset him. Why settle for "semi-fascist" when what he was offering was full-blown fascist? It didn't help him any politically, and internal polls must have been horrific. Politico reported that the remarks had been three months in preparation, so they were hardly unintentional gaffes. Biden's desperate walkback of them the following morning exposed him for a clown, a boob, and a phony.

Joe Biden's Hateful Attack on Half the Country. It's a good thing Joe Biden is such a mediocre public speaker, because his political beliefs are positively dangerous. In a primetime address Thursday in front of Independence Hall — complete with ominous red mood lighting and the occasional blaring of police sirens and hecklers — Biden effectively declared war on half the country. "MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution," he said. "They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election ... They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies." While he qualified his remarks by saying "not every Republican is a MAGA Republican," he does not mean it. He knows that a strong majority of Republicans have a favorable view of Trump and will support him if he runs again.

Could Biden's Divisive Rhetoric Cost Democrats Congress? In President Joe Biden's 2007 memoir, Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics, he wrote that the late Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.) gave him the best advice he ever received: "Joe, never attack another man's motive, because you don't know his motive." Judging from Biden's increasingly belligerent speeches, he has forgotten Mansfield's eminently wise counsel. This was rendered abundantly clear during his Thursday speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Standing before a backdrop that looked as if it had been designed by Leni Riefenstahl, he attacked the motives of half the electorate. After declaring, "I'm an American President — not the President of red America or blue America, but of all America," Biden nonetheless insisted that "MAGA Republicans" don't quite make the cut.

CNN questioned after altering blood-red background of Biden's speech. CNN is facing questions from critics after the network was busted altering the lighting for President Biden's Thursday address, softening the blood-red hues to calmer shades of pink. The president came in for withering mockery online for the harsh black and red backdrop, with many comparing the optics to "Star Wars" and "V for Vendetta." While networks like CNN, MSNBC, CBS and C-SPAN carrying the speech all originally appeared consistent, CNN noticeably altered the color of the background from red to pink in real-time.

More Mush From the Wimp. Partisan leftists who watched Joe Biden's speech Thursday night in Philadelphia saw a vibrant defense of democracy, a rousing call to action, and a blueprint for progress in a new America. I saw a feeble old man babbling about the supposed accomplishments of his failing administration and making a pathetic attempt to convince his own fellow Democrats that he deserves to be nominated as the party's presidential candidate in 2024. I also heard echoes of Benito Mussolini. Well, if Mussolini were a doddering octogenarian who spoke English. "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic," Biden proclaimed. In the original Italian, it went something like "the enemies of fascism are extremists who threaten our state and our power." Biden is literally calling us "enemies of the state." For him and the Democrats, to vote for the political opposition is a criminal act, to oppose the Biden agenda is treason. In all my 61 years, I've never heard an American president speak in such language. But as a student of history, I have read such words employed by demagogues from Trotsky to Stalin to Mussolini to Goebbels. But such rhetoric is now so common that it sounds banal.

When Must a Good Citizen Become a Dissident? After Facebook's Zuckerberg recently confessed to censoring the New York Post's explosive Hunter Biden "laptop from Hell" story (evidencing a compromised and most likely criminally culpable Biden family) before the 2020 election in response to FBI pressure that the social media giant treat real news as "Russian disinformation" (thereby corroborating that the national security Deep State helped rig the presidential election), the FBI superciliously responded with the equivalent of a teenaged shoulder shrug and a haughty "so what?" According to the FBI, our domestic spy agency regularly encourages censorship and secretive control over the free flow of information. No big deal! Except it is a very big deal. Recent polling shows that nearly 80% of Americans believe that President Trump would have won re-election had voters "known the truth about Hunter Biden's laptop." In other words, the Deep State stole an election.

I Am a 'Clear and Present Danger' to the Biden Regime (And So Are You). "Clear and present danger" aren't words any president should use lightly because that's when the big guns used to come out against the First Amendment — and might again. Set aside for a few minutes the vaguely Nurembergesque optics of Thursday night's historically divisive speech by Presidentish Joe Biden so we can concentrate on the content. [...] Ben Shapiro called it "the most demagogic, outrageous, and divisive speech" he's ever seen from an American president because Biden "essentially declared all those who oppose him and his agenda enemies of the republic." Biden's speech came just two days after he not-so-implicitly threatened [VIP link] millions of law-abiding Americans with military action. "For those brave right-wing Americans," he sneered, "if you want to fight against the country, you need an F-15. You need something little more than a gun." Ricochet's Jon Gabriel said that Biden's word choice was as "deliberate as it was divisive," reminding readers that the C&PD doctrine was "created by the Woodrow Wilson-era Supreme Court to curtail the free speech of Americans."

Biden Has Spent 40% of His Presidency on Vacation. Joe Biden on Friday refused to take questions as he left for another vacation. The Bidens headed to Camp David, the presidential retreat located in western Maryland, for Labor Day weekend. [...] Biden has spent 23 of the last 32 days on vacation, the RNC said on Friday. According to the New York Post, since being installed in January 2021, Joe Biden has spent more than 40% of his presidency on vacation.

Joe Biden Hates Your Guts, And He Doesn't Hide It. You've all probably seen and heard scores of adjectives used to describe Biden's speech in Philadelphia this week, one that was laughably supposed to promote unity and reflect on what it means to be an American. On the left, we heard the typical, fawning type of language, with the media and politicians proclaiming the speech: majestic, courageous, and patriotic. On the right, the speech has been described as inflammatory, authoritarian, and disturbing. But perhaps the most suitable word we should use in classifying Biden's speech is this: idiotic. One of the more striking, and moronic, aspects of Biden's speech was the setting. There's nothing wrong with a president making a speech in Philadelphia with Independence Hall as a backdrop, but it's a bad idea to do so when the subject matter of the speech is so hyper-partisan. But what was particularly curious about the speech's setting was the visuals.

Leftwing Guardian Triggered by 'My Son Hunter': 'Stop Trying to Make Hunter Biden Conspiracy Theories Happen'. Britain's left-wing The Guardian has attacked the upcoming movie My Son Hunter in a column claiming the movie is trying to elevate the Hunter Biden laptop scandal beyond a fringe conspiracy theory. But the article ignores the fact that the laptop and its contents have been authenticated as real by multiple mainstream news outlets, including the New York Times and CNN. Guardian columnist Emma Brockes describes My Son Hunter as a "piece of political porn dedicated to animating the wildest fringes of Trump chat-room banter." She also offers a snide piece of advice: "guys, stop trying to make Hunter Biden conspiracy theories happen." It remains unclear if Brockes even saw My Son Hunter before she wrote the article, since the movie is not yet publicly available. It is only available now for pre-order until its release on September 7. The article is vague about whether or not she has seen it, though she clearly has seen the trailer.

'Full Monty Mussolini': Biden's Primetime Speech Mocked, Slammed On Social Media. President Joe Biden's Thursday evening speech targeting supporters of former President Donald Trump was mocked on social media, with many users poking fun at the stage. The speech, held in Philadelphia, marked continued attacks on supporters of Trump, reiterating earlier attacks in which he claimed Republicans embraced "semi-fascism" at an Aug. 25 fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee in Maryland, and also attacked "MAGA Republicans" during a Tuesday speech in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Biden called "MAGA Republicans" a threat to democracy and doubled down on his rhetoric calling supporters of former President Donald trump "extremists." WMAL talk show host Larry O'Connor threw the epithet Biden directed at Republicans back at the president. "Dude... This isn't even 'semi' fascist," O'Connor posted on Twitter. "This is full monty Mussolini."

Biden is in desperate damage control less than 24-hours after the most toxic presidential speech in the modern era. Less than 24-hours after delivering the darkest, most toxic presidential speech of the modern era, the Commander in Chief is trying to gaslight America to believe he didn't say what it just heard him say. [...] Let's roll the tape back. Here's what the president asserted Thursday evening outside Philadelphia's Independence Hall, which the White House advance team transformed into a scene straight out of Hostel — complete with blood-red uplighting and shadowed figures in the background. The stage's backdrop looked more like the demonic spawn pool of Satan rather than the patriotic birthplace of our republic. 'Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.' He continued, 'MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards -backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love.'

GOP Rep. Palmer: Biden, Dems Heading in 'One of the Most Dangerous Directions We've Ever Been'. During an appearance on Mobile, AL radio [...] on Friday, Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL), chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, reacted to President Joe Biden's primetime address a night early from Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Although Palmer said he did not watch the televised event, he warned the efforts to change the narrative by Democrats and Biden were taking the country in a "dangerous" direction.

Mainstream Media Reporters Target Biden for Giving Polarizing Speech Flanked by US Marines. President Joe Biden received backlash from corporate news reporters on Thursday night after he delivered a polarizing campaign-style speech flanked by two U.S. Marines. During the speech, the president attacked tens of millions of people who voted for former President Donald Trump, describing them as extremists. "Whatever you think of this speech the military is supposed to be apolitical," CNN host Brianna Keilar, whose husband serves in U.S. Army, wrote on Twitter. "Positioning Marines in uniform behind President Biden for a political speech flies in the face of that. It's wrong when Democrats do it. It's wrong when Republicans do it." CNN Chief National Affairs Correspondent Jeff Zeleny wrote that "there's nothing unusual or wrong with a President delivering a political speech — it's inherent in the job description — but doing it against a backdrop of two Marines standing at attention and the Marine Band is a break with White House traditions."

In Speech Walkback, Biden Now Admits He's The Real Threat To Democracy. President Joe Biden attempted to walk back his divisive rhetoric delivered Thursday night, when the commander-in-chief stood before Independence Hall flanked by Marines illuminated by blood-red lights like stormtroopers. Two months before the November midterms, Biden went on a 25-minute tirade in which he branded his political opposition as an existential threat to democracy and the "soul of this nation." "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic," Biden said. "There's no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country."

Visibly shaken Tucker Carlson calls dangerous, outrageous Biden speech 'truly nuts'. Fox News host Tucker Carlson ripped into President Biden's "immoral" speech given in Philadelphia where he railed against MAGA Republicans in front of a "blood-red Nazi background" and called it "truly nuts." Biden gave the explosive speech on Thursday night at Independence Hall in Philadelphia with Marines standing in the background. Carlson compared it to something straight out of Nazi Germany. The divisive president warned those in attendance that "MAGA Republicans" are a danger to democracy, the country, and freedom. He painted them as a threat and as the enemy.

Who is the audience for Biden's speech on 'MAGA' GOP threatening democracy? President Joe Biden will once again denounce the political forces former President Donald Trump has unleashed as a threat to democracy on Thursday night. The question is who the target audience is for this pitch three months out from the midterm elections, with public opinion on Trump settled and surprisingly stable after two presidential elections, two impeachments, a Capitol riot, the Mar-a-Lago raid, and myriad controversies. Democrats already fear Trump's return to the White House, though he will not be on the ballot anywhere this fall. And Republicans have remained strikingly loyal to the former president, with the few wavering outliers more than outweighed by conservatives who will reject Biden's attempt to paint a substantial wing of the GOP as broadly anti-democratic.

Biden's Teetering House of Cards. [Scroll down] Unlike the fictional Urquhart and Underwood, the Bidens, who are wholly owned by China and Ukraine, the two countries that made their family fabulously wealthy via illegal and underhanded arrangements, are destroying America and the damage is so great, one can only assume it is by design. They have opened the southern border to all comers, over five million of them in the last eighteen months. These migrants simply walk across the border, unvetted, unvaxxed (lucky for them), and are ushered to various cities across the country at taxpayer expense. There are of course terrorists among them and more than enough fentanyl to kill every American several times over. Human and child sex trafficking is rampant. Does Biden care? Not one bit. [...] Joe Biden is at the core of his being a very nasty man. He is virulently racist at heart as evidenced throughout his career. Watch some clips from the confirmation hearings of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas and prepare to be horrified by Biden's malevolence. He has always been corrupt. He has always been inappropriate with women and young girls. His own daughter's diary attests to that fact. He is a known plagiarist, a chronic liar and a bully; his recent speeches are a testament to that. He is an authoritarian at heart, doing the bidding of the WEF. He viciously demonizes the millions of voters who support Trump. He is an authoritarian, a wanna-be dictator.

Joe Biden Calls on Americans to 'Stop' MAGA Republicans. President Joe Biden called on Americans to "stop" MAGA Republicans, whom he consistently cast as a dark force against democracy in his "Soul of the Nation" prime-time speech on Thursday [9/1/2022]. While much of the president's dark and brooding speech focused on demonizing MAGA Republicans, one particular moment took the demonization a step further when the president appeared to suggest that Americans take up the mantle of isolating Trump supporters. The president said this after portraying MAGA Republicans as direct threats to American democracy. "MAGA Republicans do not respect the constitution," he said. "They do not believe in the rule of law, they do not believe in the rule of law, they do not recognize the will of the people." "MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards," he added. "Backwards to an America where there is no right to choose. No right to privacy. No right to contraception. No right to marry who you love. They promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence."

The Editor says...
If Republicans "do not believe in the rule of law," why were they all upset about Hillary Clinton's secret email server, Anthony Weiner's laptop, Hunter Biden's laptop, and Sandy Berger's socks? Why were they all upset about BLM riots, unprecedented quarantines for healthy citizens, Jeffrey Epstein's murder, mandatory vaccinations, and the stolen presidential election in 2020? Why are they now upset about the political prisoners from the January 6th (2021) protest, the wide-open international border, and the noisy protests in front of the Supreme Court justices' homes? If the rule of law doesn't matter, why does anyone even mention the murder rate in Chicago, violent crime in the New York City subways, or the homeless bums defecating in the streets in San Francisco?

Who Is the Real Fascist? President Joe Biden thinks millions of Americans are part fascist and borderline terrorists. It would be laughable if it weren't so disturbing. [...] Let's be clear: The White House isn't calling lawmakers fascists and extremists — which is troubling enough — they're talking about American citizens. This is appalling. No wonder 43% of US adults believe a civil war is likely within the next 10 years. Our president is essentially telling Americans that their neighbor may be the enemy. This is clearly intentional. Why? Well, having campaigned for president in 2020 as a uniter to 'restore the soul of America,' the politically floundering Biden has moved on to Phase Two — campaign for re-election in 2024 as a divider. Remember when Biden tweeted, 'It's time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, and listen to each other again. To make progress, we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy. We are not enemies. We are Americans.' We can laugh at this now — or cry. Accusing opponents of fascism is just the latest and kookiest claim progressives have attempted to avoid disaster in congressional elections this November.

Dishonest 'journalism' rules the airwaves. It should be a huge story that the FBI essentially told Facebook to censor the Hunter Biden story. Could it be that other media outlets were also warned because they also censored the story? How did fifty former intelligence officers determine that the laptop was Russian disinformation, given the fact they never saw it or examined it? Did the FBI give them that false information to bury the story? Whistleblowers are coming forward at the FBI to say how politicized and corrupt the Justice Department is. Normally, the media like whistleblowers, yet this story is buried. Can anyone imagine the wall-to-wall coverage if whistleblowers said the Trump Justice Department was politicized and corrupt? One whistleblower even alleges that higher-ups directed agents not to examine the Hunter Biden laptop until after the election.

Two Minutes Hate: Biden Rails Against His Fellow Americans in Dark, Threatening Prime-Time Speech. Joe Biden harangued and threatened the nation for 20 minutes on national TV on Thursday in a speech that will be remembered for its vicious rhetoric and blood-red lighting. In the highly partisan speech, Biden railed against MAGA America like there was no tomorrow — he used the words "MAGA Republicans" 11 times in the first 12 minutes. Some of the most-used words in the speech were: violence, darkness, threat, and politics. The most-used word was "democracy," the Marxist-leaning crowd's favorite term of derision for our republic. But that's all Joe Biden's got right now. By nearly every metric, America is worse off than it was during the Trump years, so Biden can only resort to fearmongering and demagoguery.

Joe Biden Has Always Been a Bad Person; No Wonder He's a Bad President. Back in the 90s, at the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the establishment media hammered home the proposition that the individual character of a chief executive didn't matter. He could be a cheerful rogue and serial philanderer like Bill Clinton, but the Left insisted that was a private matter and that the only thing Americans should care about was that he was a competent and capable president (which he wasn't, but that's another story). These assertions have become the conventional wisdom since then, but Old Joe Biden is now putting them to the test. On Tuesday, Fox News' Lisa Boothe enunciated a simple truth that shows that this Lewinsky-era conventional wisdom is wrong and has always been wrong: "One of the biggest lies we were ever told is that Joe Biden is a good man. He is a terrible president. Even worse human being."

How Bad Was Biden's Oppressive Stage Presence? CNN Altered the Video Feed to Soften the Dire Visuals. Here in the aftermath of Joe Biden's bold, forceful, authoritative, badgering, hectoring, screeching, off-the-rails unPresidential speech on Thursday evening, there are a number of ways to see how poorly received this was. On content alone, this was quite the disturbing delivery, as we watched our president devolve into a hysteric, carping and complaining about Republicans and leveling accusatory hyperbole like we have not seen from the White House prior. Another indicator that this thing jumped the trestle and plunged into a PR ravine is that the man once hailed by the media as The Great Uniter now needs this performance to be cleaned up by the media immediately following his display.

CNN Blasts Biden for Using Military As Backdrop for 'Battle' Speech. It didn't take long after Biden finished his rancid, combative remarks in Philadelphia for the reviews of the latest divisive screed from "Mr. Unity" to come in, and they predictably were not favorable from those among the 70 million Americans he declared were hatefully working to bring about the end of democracy: [Numerous tweets] In addition to the caustic content of Biden's message — vote for the people I say or you're a fascist — the staging was also of note, and not just the ominous red hue that bathed the sides of Independence Hall. No, the two Marines standing at attention behind the president grabbed viewers' eyes. [Tweets]

Who Are You Calling a Fascist, Mr. President? The other day, President Joe Biden accused voters of the opposition party of turning to "semi-fascism." This is probably the first time in American history a president has openly attacked the opposing party's constituents in this way. Then again, Biden, who once alleged that the chaste Mitt Romney was harboring a desire to bring back chattel slavery, is prone to stupid hyperbole. And it's true that most people who throw around the word "fascist" fail to do so with much precision. These days, the word "democracy," like "fascism," has lost all meaning. According to Democrats, asking someone to show ID before voting is an attack on "democracy," but so is the Supreme Court's handing back power to voters on the abortion issue. When you have no limiting principles of governance, anything that inhibits your exertion of power is seen as anti-"democracy." If students have loans to be paid, "forgive" them. If you can't pass a bill, the executive branch should do it by fiat. If the court stops it, pack it. Power is only to be limited when the opposition holds it. A microcosm of this confused thinking can be found in the recent spate of hysterical media pieces about alleged Republican "book banning." The use of "ban" by the media is more than a category error; it's an effort to paint parents who use the very same exact democratic powers the left has relied on for decades as book burners. Public school curricula and book selection are political questions decided by school and library boards. Neither have a duty to carry every single volume on racial identitarianism or sexually explicit material simply demanded by some busybody at the American Library Association.

Disgraced Former FBI Official Andrew McCabe Says Joe Biden Didn't Go Far Enough Threatening MAGA Republicans. Joe Biden on Thursday evening declared war on Trump supporters in a divisive primetime speech on the 'battle for the soul of America' from Philadelphia. Joe Biden called 75+ million Trump supporters "a clear and present danger to our democracy." "MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution, they do not believe in the rule of law ... They promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence," said Biden. "Too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic," Biden said.

Joe Biden Crosses Lines in Grotesque National Address. As RedState reported, excerpts from Joe Biden's "MAGA speech" previewed a gross abuse of the Executive Office of the President. Sure enough, that's exactly what was delivered as the president appeared in Philidelphia, standing in front of a blood-red background, flanked by Marines. Lines were crossed that can't be uncrossed, from the use of the military as props in a blatantly political speech to Biden suggesting that nearly half the country is a "danger" to the republic. This was a speech that went far beyond anything seen in the modern era of presidential addresses. Of course, because we are dealing with a decrepit, senile old man, things didn't start off well. The president couldn't stop coughing as he tried to get into his remarks. [Video clip]

Joe Biden, Lout, Liar, And Lunatic. When candidate Joe Biden promised that if elected president he would unite the country, did he think he could do it alienating roughly half the population? Or did he mean he would unite the Democrats and independents against the "MAGA Republicans"? Thursday's speech clearly indicates what he had in mind was the latter. Last week, Biden smeared Donald Trump supporters, calling them semi-fascists who practice "burn-it-all-down politics" and face "backwards full of anger, violence, hate and division." [...] Biden followed up his "semi-fascist" rant with Thursday's prime-time "soul of a nation" speech, in which he spoke of the 74.2 million who voted for Donald Trump in 2020 as white supremacists, extremists, rearward-looking deplorables, and wild-haired bogeymen who pose an existential threat to the country.

The Optics Created by Joe Biden Communication Team for a National Address Were Off the Charts Creepy. I usually prefer to stay away from the ancillary stuff, but the remarks by Joe Biden today were not normal, not even close. Every national address by a president has a massive advance team checking every detail of a venue before broadcast. The optics they put together for Biden's "battle for the soul of a nation" speech tonight, was just plain creepy and weird. I mean think about it, what does this imagery present when discussing the theme of battling for the soul of a nation? [Photo] These are not modified images or changes in presentation; they are exactly what was broadcast to the nation. It looks straight up evil. Like something out of a hellscape theatrical production intended to showcase Baal as the "soul of the nation." On one hand, this is the realistic tone of the Biden administration. But on the other hand, you would not expect to see this harsh dictatorship enhanced with the backdrop to give it such angered imagery. I have never seen anything even close to this in a presidential address.

Tyrannical old Joe's secret police state. It would be easy to laugh it off as the blathering of a spiteful, increasingly incoherent, angry old man. But what Biden and the puppeteers who guide him are doing is very sinister. They appear to be preparing the ground for an even harsher crackdown on his political opponents by the security state, which has become, to all appearances, his secret police. The president's intemperate attacks on Republicans as "semi-fascist," "ultra-MAGA" "white supremacists" and "domestic terrorists" have escalated as a midterm wipeout looms and Biden's deadly polls have solidified, despite hagiographic media lauding the comeback of "Aviator Joe." Yeah, sure, his polls have "bounced back" — just like gas prices, from unbelievably bad to really bad. Clearly, two weeks in the basement with double COVID and a month on vacation has done wonders for his popularity. In Biden's case, absence makes the heart grow slightly less scornful.

Gingrich: Biden [is] Committing Greatest-Ever 'Act of Aggression by an American President Against His Own People'. As President Joe Biden excoriates millions of Americans as "MAGA Republicans" "extremists," "semi-fascists" and threats to democracy — something he's likely to do again tonight in his so-called "soul of the nation" speech — former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says Biden's sneering insults stem from "terror." Gingrich, speaking to Fox News Wednesday night, noted that more than 70 million Americans voted for Donald Trump in the last election. "To have a president of the United States characterize half of his country in the way that Joe Biden does is the greatest act of aggression by an American president against his own people that we have ever seen. It's truly an astonishing moment. It doesn't fit any of our prior history," Gingrich said.

Rise & Fall of the Biden Bump. President Biden's approval rating recently bumped up into the low 40's. My working theory is that Biden is well served by his time out of the public eye and poorly served by his public appearances and remarks. Biden's minders in the White House don't seem to agree with me, however, as they continue to send him on the road to peddle the fabrications, fabulations, and grotesqueries of his Wilkes-Barre remarks, to take only the most recent example.

Joe Biden, the little man who wasn't there. President Joe Biden has enjoyed a summer revival of sorts, meaning a rise in his public job approval number from a grotesquely low 36.8% in the RealClearPolitics average to a still lamentable 42%. In parallel, his disapproval fell from 57.4% to 54.7%. This is enough for Democratic congressional candidates to rethink shunning the president on the campaign trail but is hardly a ringing endorsement. [...] More significant is that he was in hiding during midsummer, "strictly" isolating because he had COVID. This removed him from the public eye for weeks, and it is remarkable how much better he looks when you can't see him. Biden is no hero, but if he has a superpower, it is invisibility. Being an empty suit has taken him to the top. His absence made voters' hearts grow fonder in 2020. He won the presidency, remember, by retiring to his Delaware basement, avoiding the public gaze, and limiting his visible weirdness and blunders to occasional video appearances.

Here's the Reason They Don't Show the Wide Shot at Biden's Events. [Scroll down] There was that tiny group of people set up with the signs behind him. Other than a few police officers who were there, the people behind him looked like they were probably union people who were told to come out. They looked mostly like they wished they were anywhere else. There was a bigger group of folks in front of Biden. But nothing like the thousands that come out for President Donald Trump, so the attempt to make it look like that fell pretty flat.

'Dr.' Jill Has Cringe, 'Very Doctoral' Response When Confronted on Student Debt Relief Plan Specs. Fresh off of testing negative for COVID-19 after her "rebound" case, First Lady Jill Biden headed up a "Meeting to Strengthen the Teaching Profession" at the White House Wednesday, where she was hit very early on with a query about President Biden's student loan relief plan, which he unilaterally implemented last week. At some point prior to handing over the meeting to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, Jill Biden was confronted by a Daily Mail reporter who asked her to explain how Biden's plan, which was heavily pushed by Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Raphael Warnock in part on grounds it would help them come election time, would lower the costs of higher education as the President himself has repeatedly asserted will happen. "Dr." Jill was clearly surprised by the question, as evidenced by the bumbling answer she gave. "He said he was going to have loan forgiveness during the campaign," she stated. "I heard him say it over and over again and he followed up on his promise and he kept to it." [Video clip]

Semi-moronic. The White House thinks they have struck gold with their attack on "MAGA Republicans" as "semi-fascist" and all the rest. President Biden's minders in the daycare operation at the White House are wheeling him out for a primetime campaign speech addressing "the soul of the nation" tomorrow night. The speech is to take place outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia. [...] My working theory is that Biden is not a compelling advocate for the Democrats. Dems in competitive races avoid him. He is a lying phony. The theme is sickening. Biden gave it a workout in Wilkes-Barre yesterday.

Lying Joe Biden is unfit to save the 'soul of the nation'. President Biden is going to deliver a prime-time speech Thursday on what the White House calls the "battle for the soul of the nation." It's a timely topic with rich possibilities, but none richer than the notion that the Big Guy is qualified to address America's soul. Unless he's going to confess how his family made millions by selling access to foreign governments and Communist oligarchs, Biden will be stuck spinning a web of fiction. No problem there because fiction is what he's good at. He has a gift for playing make-believe. All politicians lie, but Biden doesn't stop there. He's a proven plagiarist, a fabulist, always the hero of his own stories, the Walter Mitty of American politics!

Joe Biden Screams, 'I Am Determined to Ban Assault Weapons!' During PA Speech. President Joe Biden screamed, "I am determined to ban assault weapons in this country!" during a Tuesday speech in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Biden segued to "assault weapons" by talking about passing Sen. John Cornyn's (R-TX) gun control package this summer. He built toward a crescendo as he claimed "the vast majority" of Republican members of Congress could not support Cornyn's gun control because the NRA was against it.

Biden's New Slur to Tar His Political Opponents. This week, President Joe Biden — in search of a new label to pin on his political opponents after the failure of his "ultra-MAGA" branding, which prompted peals of laughter rather than shudders of horror — landed on a new slur with which to tar those who don't support his agenda: they are, he said, semi-fascists. Speaking with a crowd of Democratic donors in Maryland, Biden reportedly said, "What we're seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy. It's not just Trump, it's the entire philosophy that underpins the — I'm going to say something — it's semi-fascism." Now, Democratic politicians painting half of Americans as beneath contempt is old hat. Former President Barack Obama, of course, said that Americans who didn't support him in 2008 were merely bitter bigots, clinging to "guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them." Hillary Clinton was more pithy: she called them a "basket of deplorables." So, "semi-fascist" shouldn't come as much of a shock. But that smear is particularly galling coming from Biden the same week in which he announced, without any constitutional authority whatsoever, that he was erasing some $500 billion in student loan debts — the single largest executive action in American history. Biden justified that action on the basis of a nonexistent COVID-19 emergency.

Biden's plum job reward for ex-intel officer who protected his scandal-laden son stinks. If Jeremy Bash's appointment last week to the President's Intelligence Advisory Board is any guide to how the White House picks its top intel folks, the nation can forget about getting reliable intel. Bash exposed himself as a political hack eager to exploit his authority for partisan purposes back in October 2020, when he joined 50 other former intelligence officials and signed an open letter pretending that The [New York] Post's reporting off Hunter Biden's laptop was likely Russian disinformation. It has "has the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation," the 51 claimed — without actually explaining how, because it didn't. It was just info they didn't want voters seeing in advance of the election. With the same motive, The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR and other outlets used the letter as an excuse to ignore and deny our scoops. "We don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don't want to waste the listener's and readers' time on stories that are just pure distractions," huffed NPR managing editor Terence Samuels. Oops: The Times, WaPo and so on have now admitted The Post's reports were 100% accurate. So the "experts" were actually the ones pushing disinformation.

Biden takes heat for spending 40 percent of his days in office 'on vacation'. President Biden is taking heat for spending 40% of his days in office "on vacation" after he was away from the White House for two-thirds of August. Biden's weekend jaunts and vacations spanned 234 days — with seven in 10 of them spent at his homes in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware — out of 589 days in office. RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel told The Post that Republicans believe it's a winning campaign issue — alongside concerns over the effects of Biden-era spending, including Democrats' $1.9 trillion stimulus package last year and this year's $437 billion environmental and health care bill. "Voters want Republicans, who actually show up to work, to dig America out of Biden's recession, secure the southern border, and put an end to reckless spending of taxpayer dollars," McDaniel said.

Joe Biden Claims 'Brave Right-Wing Americans' Are Shooting Law Enforcement. President Joe Biden indicated Tuesday that "right-wing" Americans who support the Second Amendment are shooting at law enforcement. The president detailed his frustrations with Americans who supported the right to own semi-automatic weapons during a speech on fighting crime in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. "For those brave right-wing Americans who say it's all about keeping America independent and safe, if you want to fight against the country you need an F-15, you need something a little more than a gun," he said and added, "No. I'm not joking." "Who are they shooting at? They're shooting at these guys behind me," he continued, referring to law enforcement, who were securing the president.

Biden Says the Military Can Obliterate the Second Amendment. President Joe Biden said Tuesday while in Pennsylvania that "brave right wing Americans" who claim the Second Amendment is meant to fight back against a tyrannical government would be obliterated by the military. Biden was speaking in Wilkes-Barre while promoting gun control and bolstering police forces across the nation. Biden pushed for a federal ban on so-called "assault weapons" and took aim at Republicans during his speech, invoking the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. "As one of the most — one of the most conservative justices in history, Justice Scalia, once wrote like, quote, 'like most rights, the rights granted by the Second Amendment are not unlimited'," Biden said. "They're not unlimited right now."

Biden can't decide whether or not we're still in a pandemic. President Joe Biden made a campaign promise to "shut the virus down." He made this claim repeatedly because his advisers thought he had stumbled into a clever saying about not shutting down the country again. Now, almost two full years into his term, Biden is using presidential authority he believes he has under the 2003 HEROES Act to suspend student loan payments once again and, on top of that, attempt unilaterally to waive up to $20,000 in Pell Grant student loans or $10,000 in other loans. It was on March 13, 2020, that President Donald Trump declared a nationwide emergency pursuant to Sec. 501(b) of the Stafford Act, making the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergency. Biden, in abusing this power, is going against his own administration's legal arguments concerning the declaration from earlier this year.

We All Know That Biden Is Not In Charge — It's Actually Three Women, And We Have Their Names. The next two years is going to be a wild ride, as Joe Biden isn't calling the shots, believe me on this. He's got the title of president of the United States but none of the authority because the government is being run by Biden's Chief of Staff Ron Klain & Company under the absolute control and direction of Sen. Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib. The left knew when they chose Biden to be the Democratic presidential nominee that he didn't have the stamina or cognitive abilities to handle the job of president. That's why the left chose him, they needed a person, just a warm body, living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who would just do as he's told and not ask questions. [...] It seems that Obama's third term is not just a wish for the former POTUS. There are actually three women inside Joe's admin who are working together to operate this show for Obama, and we identify who they are.

The Editor says...
The headline says, "It's Actually Three Women," but the article names two men and eight women, in addition to Barack H. Obama and Vice-President Harris.

This Has Got To Be A First In History, A First Lady Physically Moving The President Backwards While He's Speaking To The Press. The media may think their clever reporting is hiding Biden's decline from the world, but the world is well aware of it. Particularly in Australia. Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt spoke with psychiatrist Tanveer Ahmed on his show and discussed Ahmed's take on the cognitive condition of the leader of the free world. They weren't the only ones who noticed this strange behavior from Biden and things are just getting worse.

Biden's Senior Moment of the Week Vol. 8. This week President Joe Biden appeased the radical liberals in his party by unilaterally canceling up to $40,000 worth of student debt for households earning $249,000 a year. Former Obama adviser Jason Furman called it "reckless" and "indefensible." Legal experts echoed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D., Calif.) assessment that Biden lacks the authority to forgive student loans without an act of Congress. Speaking at the White House on Wednesday, the president touted the "cumalidefasredsulc" benefits of debt forgiveness and kept coughing directly into his hand in blatant violation of accepted health and safety protocols. Meanwhile, his ability to speak in coherent sentences showed no signs of improvement.

"Doctor" Jill's trillion-dollar gift to the educational-industrial complex. First Lady Jill Biden asked to be called "Doctor" after her husband was elected president. She's not actually a doctor. She's also not nearly as smart as one and so she thought the title made her look like she was, at least to stupid people who don't know better. The justification for "Doctor" Jill's request to be called a doctor was she has an EdD. That's a doctoral degree in education. It's a little like a PhD but much easier to obtain. No EdD in the entire universe could pass an introductory college chemistry or physics course. I suppose I could ask to be called a "doctor" too, since my law degree is a J.D., a Juris Doctor, but my friends would laugh at that request, and rightly so. They don't teach you anything in EdD programs. After all, they don't know anything themselves. Their qualification for teaching in an EdD program is their own EdD. They don't even teach grammar or proofreading. "Doctor" Jill's written thesis for her EdD contains a typo in the first paragraph.

Biden Calls on the Mob. The Dems decided they needed a little presidential revival before the midterms to fire up their base — which isn't looking very motivated at the moment. They gave President Gremlin a few days of vacation to rest up, a couple of shots of Adderall to switch on long-dormant brain cells, and a few hits of oxygen so he could walk out onto the stage without collapsing. They trotted Biden out to a friendly audience in a suburb of Washington, D.C., and he gave a real barn-burner of a speech. He was angrier than an old coot screaming at the neighborhood kids to get off of his yard. Apparently, the Democrats think that is a good look for them. I wonder if they've considered that this speech may come to define the Biden presidency? The speech was about those that voted for Donald Trump, but it revealed a great deal more about our presidential sock-puppet himself. We learned that Joe has an advanced case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Video: Joe Biden's Walk is Getting Stranger, What's With His Leg? Who is really in charge? Joe Biden on Friday 'dropped by' a meeting with state and local officials on Women's Equality Day to discuss 'abortion access' for women following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade. Biden decided to take a few softball questions from sycophantic reporters. Then he dropped this gem as he called on a reporter: "I'm sorry, I took control. I shouldn't do that. I'm not allowed to do that," said Biden as his handlers kicked out the press.

79% say 'truthful' coverage of Hunter Biden's laptop would have changed 2020 election. Nearly four of five Americans who've been following the Hunter Biden laptop scandal believe that "truthful" coverage would have changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, according to a new poll. A similar percentage also said they're convinced that information on the computer is real, with just 11% saying they thought it was "created by Russia," according to the survey conducted by the New Jersey-based Technometrica Institute of Policy and Politics. And an even higher number — 81% — said US Attorney General Merrick Garland should appoint a special counsel to investigate matters related to the first son's infamous laptop, the existence of which was exclusively revealed by The Post in October 2020.

Mark Zuckerberg Admits On Joe Rogan That Facebook Censored The Hunter Laptop Story At The Request Of The FBI. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has revealed that before the New York Post broke the Hunter Biden laptop story, the social media giant received a warning from the FBI which prompted Facebook to limit the story's reach on the platform ahead of the 2020 presidential election. The billionaire tech mogul said the FBI approached Facebook and warned it "be vigilant" before the New York Post story on the contents in Joe Biden's son's laptop. [Video clip]

Did Biden Just Call for Warfare Against Republicans? There it is. He said it out loud. Joe Biden thinks you're a fascist. And the difference between this and the last epithet conservatives were called around election time is that this time Biden has an armed FBI and Antifa to act as his punishing squad. Gladly. Here's what the president told a Democratic Party fundraiser near the White House on Thursday. "What we're seeing now is either the beginning of the death knell of the extreme MAGA philosophy. It's not just Trump, it's the entire philosophy that underpins the — I'm going to say something — it's like semi-fascism," he said, according to a pool reporter. "This is not your father's Republican Party. This is a different deal."

Biden Makes Eyebrow-Raising Comment About 'Stealing' Elections. Joe Biden is on a roll. It's just not the kind of roll anyone should want him to be on. After returning from his multi-week vacation in the middle of multiple crises, the president held a rally in Rockville, MD because no one else outside of a hundred-mile radius of the beltway can stand him. Despite not filling the school gym he was speaking in, Biden launched into a multi-pronged attack against his political enemies. He labeled Republicans as "semi-fascist" just a day after he declared himself king to force middle-class Americans to pay for the student loans of a small, mostly well-off minority of the country. As RedState reported, his comments were couched in total incoherence, but it was one understandable part of his diatribe that had eyebrows raising. According to Biden, if Democrats retain Congress, they will pass legislation to ensure "no one has the opportunity to steal an election again." [Video clip] That's certainly a "mask-off" moment from a guy who is clearly out of control and throwing all caution to the wind. But the question is exactly what he means.

FBI agents behind controversial Hunter Biden briefing in 2020 [have been] ordered to talk. Two top Senate Republicans want to interview the FBI officials behind a controversial summer 2020 FBI briefing on Russia. Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) sent a letter to the two FBI employees on Thursday, alleging the August 2020 briefing was "unnecessary and was only done because of pressure from our Democratic colleagues, including Democratic Leadership, to falsely attack our Biden investigation as advancing Russian disinformation." The senators named Nikki Floris, the intelligence analyst in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office's intelligence division, and Bradley Benavides, the deputy assistant director of the FBI Washington Field Office's counterintelligence division, as being the officials who provided the Russia-related briefing on Aug. 6, 2020. The senators want the duo to appear for a transcribed interview in September.

Zuckerberg Revelation Shows FBI Interfered for Biden in 2020 Election. Surprise, surprise. It wasn't the social media platforms alone that censored the Hunter Biden laptop story before the election. No, the FBI asked Facebook to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election, calling it Russian disinformation. Indeed, FBI investigators knew the laptop and its disgusting contents were all too real because they'd held possession of the laptop since 2019. The laptop contained the disgusting details of Hunter's sex and drug life, business dealings, and evidence of big paydays from Ukraine and China — all of which presented a national security risk to the U.S. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg told podcaster Joe Rogan on Thursday that the FBI put Facebook "on high alert" to, wink, censor the Biden laptop story, wink, before the 2020 election.

Ashley Biden's Shocking Diary Is Real, Confirming Creepy Joe Biden Allegations. Two Florida residents pleaded guilty to stealing President Joe Biden's daughter Ashley Biden's diary; and then selling it to the conservative group Project Veritas. Aimee Harris and Robert Kurlander admitted in a New York City federal court to conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property involving the theft of personal belongings of an immediate family member of a then-former government official who was a candidate for national political office. "Harris and Kurlander stole personal property from an immediate family member of a candidate for national political office... they sold the property to an organization in New York for $40,000 and even returned to take more of the victim's property when asked to do so. Harris and Kurlander sought to profit from their theft of another person's personal property, and they now stand convicted of a federal felony as a result," Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement.

Joe Biden Wakes up to Democratic Mutiny on Student Loan Forgiveness Plan. President Joe Biden's unilateral move to implement a student loan forgiveness plan that "will include at least $10,000 in loan forgiveness for borrowers who make less than $125,000 annually, as well as another payment freeze for roughly four months" has understandably set off a firestorm nationwide, with Republicans lining up to express their outrage over Biden's actions. But Republicans aren't the only ones ripping Biden. He's also faced intense criticism from some surprising corners, including from Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) who as we previously reported said on Wednesday that "This announcement by President Biden is no way to make policy and sidesteps Congress and our oversight and fiscal responsibilities." "Any plan to address student debt should go through the legislative process, and it should be more targeted and paid for so it doesn't add to the deficit," Pappas, who is said to be in a tough reelection battle, also stated.

Biden [Claims] That the "Emergency" Powers He Has Due to Covid Allow Him to Act As a Tyrant, Apparently Forever. Note that Biden already declared an end to the covid emergency when he canceled Trump's Remain in Mexico policy, and his CDC just announced that we're effectively back to normal. But Biden won't formally say the "emergency" is over — so he can continue acting as tyrant when he finds it politically useful to do so. [...] [D]idn't this Republic used to require Congress to pass laws? Didn't NeverTrump used to caution about the "authoritarian" Trump assuming the powers of a tyrant? And yet... they're all supportive of this, or silent about it.

Biden Announces His Illegal Student Loan Move With Senility and Casual Racism. Joe Biden made it official on Wednesday, confirming reports that he was going to "forgive" tens of thousands of dollars of student debt for federal borrowers, many of which are the most privileged and well-off in our society. As I wrote previously, I think the move is morally reprehensible, forcing an electrician who paid for their technical training to now pay for the gender studies degree of some far-left kook making $100K a year in an academic position. For his part, Biden took to the podium to announce his move while taking a precious few questions. Those he did field received some of the most non-sensical answers of his presidency. Before we get there, though, here was the president attempting to set things up in a way absolutely no one understood. Really, what in the world is he talking about here? [Tweet]

Biden's Student Loan 'Forgiveness' Is An Unjust, Cynical Abuse Of Power. "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law." That's what it says right there in the Constitution. And yet, without any legislation, Joe Biden now promises to "cancel" up to $10,000 in student loans per borrower ($20,000 for Pell Grant borrowers), limited to those with annual incomes of less than $125,000. Let's start by pointing out that President Joe Biden isn't "canceling" or "forgiving" any student loans. Those are preposterous euphemisms favored by Democrats and the media. The debt in question already exists, it has been lent and spent, and those who borrowed the money of their own volition have already received services. This debt isn't cancelable. The president hasn't "forgiven" loans, he's unilaterally broken existing contracts and transferred the responsibility of payment to taxpayers — many of whom have either repaid their own student loans or never borrowed any money to begin with. Now, if you're opposed to repaying some stranger's loan, that's too bad. A new batch of IRS agents will be there to ensure that you do.

Majority of White House Staffers Eligible for Biden's Student-Loan 'Forgiveness'. Many White House staffers will likely be eligible for President Biden's newly unveiled student-loan "forgiveness" plan, which will transfer up to $10,000 in student debt from individuals making less than $125,000 to the American public. A White House report that detailed the pay of more than 470 staffers last month showed that roughly half of current White House employees make $90,000 or less per year, with the other half making more than $100,000. More than 300 staffers on the list earn less than the $125,000 threshold.

Or maybe they just want to keep her out of sight, too.
Jill Biden tests positive for Covid again in a rebound case after taking Paxlovid. First Lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 again Wednesday, suffering a rebound case of the coronavirus after taking the antiviral drug, Paxlovid. The East Wing said Wednesday afternoon that the first lady would return to isolation in Delaware. Dr. Biden's symptoms have not returned, Deputy Communications Director Kelsey Donohue said in a statement.

FBI whistleblower claims bureau leaders ordered staff NOT to investigate Hunter Biden laptop. The FBI deliberately dragged its feet on the Hunter Biden investigation and told agents not to look into the Hunter Biden laptop, according to new whistleblowers who spoke with Sen. Ron Johnson. Johnson, R-Wisc., sent a letter to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Tuesday bringing forth the new whistleblower claims. 'Recently, my office heard from individuals with knowledge of the FBI's apparent corruption,' Johnson said. 'After the FBI obtained the Hunter Biden laptop from the Wilmington, DE computer shop, these whistleblowers stated that local FBI leadership told employees, "you will not look at that Hunter Biden laptop" and that the FBI is "not going to change the outcome of the election again,"' Johnson wrote to Horowitz. Johnson is demanding Horowitz look into the FBI's handling of the Hunter Biden laptop.

Biden [will]] Return to [the] White House Wednesday for [a] DNC Event, Then Leave For Another Delaware Vacation. They're really going to try to hide Dementia Joe until the midterm elections. Joe Biden will briefly return to the White House on Wednesday do to a DNC event in Maryland before returning to Delaware for another vacation. Today [8/22/2022] marks Biden's 93rd day on vacation just this year. Biden has spent 228 days on vacation since he was installed in January 2021.

Biden takes two-week break as vacation time outstrips Trump, Obama, Bush. President Biden will wrap up a two-week vacation at his beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Del., Wednesday as one unofficial count indicates he has spent more time away from the White House than his three immediate predecessors at the same point in their terms. The president and his family, including disgraced first son Hunter Biden, left Washington for their latest getaway on Aug. 10, spending almost a week at a $20 million mansion on South Carolina's exclusive Kiawah Island. As The [New York] Post reported earlier this month, the first family stayed for free at the nine-bedroom oceanfront estate owned by Democratic donor Maria Allwin, the widow of hedge fund founder James Allwin.

Joe Biden uses $500,000 federal funds to construct himself a personal border wall. Border walls? Who needs border walls? Apparently, only Joe Biden does. The rest of us can go without. [...] It comes on the heels of news that some five million illegal migrants have crossed into the U.S. on Joe Biden's watch, which is almost a couple of Los Angeleses' worth. About a tenth of those, according to news reports, are known as "gotaways," foreigners with criminal records, or ongoing criminal business for the most part, who have good reasons from their own point of view, to avoid any contact with the Border Patrol, even with its easy, sure-thing "catch and release" policies. Characters from the terrorist watch lists have been sporadically apprehended, with gotaways on that front unknown, so that's some protection these Bidenites are offering.

It Turns Out Most Democrats Don't Want Joe Biden Anywhere Near Their Campaigns. In a piece titled "As Biden turns toward midterms, he may not be the top surrogate," the [Washington] Post surveyed dozens of Democrats, scoured their ads, social media, and websites, and realized that Joe Biden seems to be deeply unpopular this midterm cycle. Of the 60 or so Democrats they asked, very few said they wanted Biden (or anyone from his administration, actually) to come campaign with them.

Ron Klain and Susan Rice Take the Lead as Joe Biden Disappears on Vacation. President Joe Biden's staff continue trumpeting the president's legislative victories but have allowed the president to disappear into his August vacation. Earlier this week, Biden appeared at the White House briefly to sign his massive green energy and health care bill but has not taken questions from reporters at the White House or appeared for any interviews to promote his agenda. He has spent most of August out of sight, as he spent a week at Kiawah Island before returning to Delaware for another week off.

The Editor says...
Did you vote for Ron Klain or Susan Rice, for the office of President? No, you didn't. This is a high-stakes bait-and-switch scam.

Think the FBI Deserves the Benefit of the Doubt? [Scroll down]In July, [Senator] Grassley's office published a blockbuster whistleblower report wherein senior agency officials alleged that the bureau is actively trying to sabotage Trump and provide cover for President Joe Biden's son, Hunter. "Multiple FBI whistleblowers, including those in senior positions," Grassley's office wrote in a press release, "are raising the alarm about tampering by senior FBI and Justice Department officials in politically sensitive investigations ranging from election and campaign finance probes across multiple election cycles." Washington Field Office Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault and Director of Election Crimes Branch Richard Pilger, the whistleblowers alleged, coordinated to amplify defamatory information against Trump while giving cover to Hunter Biden, dismissing Biden intelligence as disinformation. The agency reportedly knew of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop full of incriminating information on the first family as early as 2019, and Grassley's whistleblower report highlights how officials may have undermined DOJ investigations into Hunter Biden's finances in Delaware and Pittsburgh. In March, FBI Assistant Director of the Cyber Division Bryan Vorndran told lawmakers he did not know the whereabouts of Hunter Biden's laptop.

The "Lie of the Year" frontrunner. It's a bit early for the "Lie of the Year" awards to come out, particularly since we're in a midterm election year and there will be many politicians flapping their gums between now and November. But at least over at The Hill, they've decided that we need to start narrowing the field a bit. [...] With so many choices to pick from, you might think that they'd have had trouble narrowing this down, but in the end, the choice came down to one claim. Or more correctly, perhaps we should say one series of claims in a short period of time. And they stemmed from Biden's recent comments about inflation being at "zero" in July.

Joe Biden Plans to Extend Vacation in Delaware After Kiawah Island Trip. President Joe Biden is planning to extend his vacation this week after he wraps up his time on Kiawah Island in South Carolina. According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data cited by the Associated Press, Biden plans to be in Wilmington, Delaware, from Tuesday until Friday after he leaves Kiawah Island. The White House has not released a schedule of the president's vacation but announced that Biden will return to Washington, DC, on Tuesday to sign the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022" before leaving again. The $430 billion bill raises taxes to spend more on government-controlled health care and subsidizes green energy.

Hunter Biden met with dad immediately after Romanian business meetings. Hunter Biden met with his father multiple times while working for a Romanian real estate tycoon accused of corruption — an effort that netted Joe Biden's second son and associates "millions" of dollars, a source close to the arrangement told The [New york] Post. The timing of the meetings between the then-vice president and his son have raised questions about the "full truth" of the involvement with Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings, critics said. The calendared gabfests between father and son were found during a search of a laptop hard drive which Hunter Biden abandoned in a Delaware repair shop in April 2019, and fly in the face of past denials from President Biden that he had no part in his son's overseas business dealings.

The Destroyer of the Republic. It strains credulity, but given Old Joe Biden's deteriorating mental state, it doesn't really strain credulity all that much: the Biden White House insists that it only found out about the twilight-of-the-republic raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home when the establishment media did, and not a moment before. So if the alleged president didn't order this banana-republic raid, who did? On Thursday, Biden's hyper-partisan Attorney General Merrick Garland, who has done so much to turn the Justice Department and the FBI into weapons of partisan politics, admitted that it was he who "personally approved" the raid, and as he surveys what he hath wrought, the heightened distrust of the authorities among ordinary Americans, and the growing fear of an out-of-control Leftist authoritarian federal government, he isn't one bit sorry, either. Apparently destroying the republic and imposing upon the American people a Leftist autocracy that is above the law was what he wanted to do all along.

When are Biden Voters Going to Get Angry? We must all take a close look at the abuse we have suffered at the hands of the leftist Democrat Party, and their never-ending litany of lies trying to cover their failures. What I want to know is, after 19 months of predictable results for their failed policies, when are Biden voters going to get angry? I do not blame them for thinking, "Things can only get better now," after bad actors deposed President Trump, and Sleepy, basement-dwelling Joe ascended to the Oval Office. The abuse the Democrat faithful endured during the Trump presidency was relentless: every hoax imaginable about Russia, every night a lying, conspiratorial, gaslighting grift of "evidence will show," and all manners of character assassination. By January 2020, we were all worn out from the non-stop barrage of bad news, while the narrative they crafted ignored or falsified the rays of hope. However, what Biden voters were sold has not been delivered — Biden has not governed as the refreshingly wonderfully moderate he was made out to be. Instead, he and the Democrat Party are beholden to radical leftists.

The FBI raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago home highlights the alarming double standard that gives Dems a pass. "We believe in the rule of law. That's what our country is about, and no person is above the law," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told "Today" show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie during a TV interview Tuesday [8/9/2022] in an attempt to justify the unprecedented FBI raid of former President Donald Trump's Palm Beach home. If that's the case — that we're all "equal" under the law, as Pelosi says — what penalties will her husband, Paul Pelosi, face for allegedly drunk driving? [...] And what about President Joe Biden's wayward son Hunter? The FBI has been in possession of his "laptop from hell" for years, but despite reported evidence of alleged crimes the first son may have committed, he hasn't been arrested or subjected to unannounced pre-dawn intimidation raids by dozens of armed FBI agents like what shockingly took place to Trump and his family.

Hunter Biden laptop repairman John Paul Mac Isaac says FBI agent threatened him to hush up. The computer repair shop owner who blew the whistle on Hunter Biden's infamous laptop claims in a new book that an FBI agent threatened him to stay silent. John Paul Mac Isaac said two federal agents came to his Mac Shop in Wilmington, Del. in December 2019 to recoup the laptop following a subpoena, he details in his new book "American Injustice: My Battle to Expose the Truth." The repairman, who had volunteered to hand the laptop over to the feds two months earlier, said the alleged threat came after he made a joke, telling them: "Hey, lads, I'll remember to change your names when I write the book." "Agent Wilson kept walking but Agent DeMeo paused and turned to face me," Paul Mac writes of the encounter. Isaac said the agent then told him: "It is our experience that nothing ever happens to people that don't talk about these things."

FBI Gone Wild: Federal Agent Threatened Hunter Biden Laptop Repair Guy. The trail of corruption and abuse stretches the length of the Great Wall of China by this point. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is out of control. Has the Russian collusion hoax not exposed how far agents and employees at the Department of Justice will go to undermine a duly elected president? There was election interference in 2016 and 2020, but the source was domestic, not foreign. It wasn't the Russians but those working in the J. Edgar Hoover Building. Trump being smeared as a Kremlin agent was the first salvo, but in 2020, the Hunter Biden laptop came out in October of that year — threatening Joe Biden's election chances. The FBI ran interference by reportedly labeling any allegations stemming from Hunter's laptop as Russian disinformation without a thorough review. The bureau has been doing this for months with regard to making sure nothing about Hunter becomes a national news story that could damage the Biden presidency.

FBI, R.I.P? The FBI has devolved into a personal retrieval service for the incorrigible Biden family. It suppressed, for political purposes, information surrounding Hunter Biden's missing laptop on the eve of the 2020 election. Previously, the FBI never pursued Hunter's fraudulently registered firearm, his mysterious foreign income, his felonious crack cocaine use, or his regular employment of foreign prostitutes.

Joe, Hunter Biden staying for free at $20 million South Carolina mansion. President Biden and his family, including disgraced first son Hunter, are spending their summer vacation at a $20 million beachfront mansion in South Carolina, The Post has learned — and they're not paying a dime. The president recently asked prominent Democratic donor Maria Allwin — the widow of hedge fund founder James Allwin — if he could stay at her nine-bedroom Kiawah Island estate, a source close to the family told The [New York] Post. "They stayed here before and they're not paying," the source said. "They've never paid. They're just friends." The property features a large swimming pool on two acres and is surrounded by palm trees and other lush vegetation for privacy.

Biden sure is coughing a lot for someone 'recovered' from COVID. President Biden has been ill with China virus. We all know that. Twice within the past half-month Biden has been kept in China virus isolation. During isolation, his public affairs have been limited, and when he does take part in events, he's been doing them remotely. Supposedly, his handlers allow him to circulate in public after two successive days of being tested negative, when he is supposed to be in normal health, but you sure wouldn't have known that from the performance he put on last Tuesday at the outdoor signing ceremony on the White House South Lawn for the passage of the CHIPS in Science Act of 2022 — which Brandon consistently misnamed as "the CHIPS and Science Act." The signing ceremony was one prolonged cough-a-thon. It was 45 minutes long, and under tropical conditions of heat and humidity approaching that of the Amazon rain forest, which certainly didn't help the obviously still sick president. His handlers should never have allowed this ceremony to go forth.

'We had Zero percent inflation': Biden dazed and confused after July 8.5% inflation rate announced. The Labor Department released the inflation report Wednesday and while any fair-minded person can tell the economy is far from looking up, President Joe Biden has well and truly embraced Orwellian dystopian doublethink and, instead of saying "2+2=5," declared 8.5 equals zero. While holding a ceremony Wednesday to sign the PACT Act that, in part, addresses the healthcare needs of veterans who suffered illness or injury from exposure to burn pits, Biden attempted to draw a win on the consumer price index (CPI) coming in at 8.5 percent for the month of July. That number was indeed a drop from the year-to-year metric that marked a 40-year high in June at 9.1 percent, but it was also a far cry from what the president claimed.

Biden Schedule Is Heavy on Delaware, Light on Interviews. President Biden's schedule shows he has a fondness for travel to Delaware and the occasional game of golf — and a cautious approach to formal interviews and press conferences. As the summer draws to a close, Mr. Biden is planning to spend some time away in August, starting later this week with a trip to Kiawah Island, S.C. In his first 18 months in office, he traveled to Delaware 46 times and to Camp David 18 times. He played 15 rounds of golf, conducted 17 formal press conferences and gave 20 sit-down interviews, according to former CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller, who tracks presidential data.

Probably true, only because Biden isn't really in charge.
Team Biden Claims 'No Advance Knowledge' of FBI Raid on Donald Trump's House at Mar-A-Lago. President Joe Biden's staff claimed Monday they did not know about the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump's house at Mar-A-Lago. "No advance knowledge. Some learned from old media some from social media," a senior White House official told CBS reporter Ed O'Keefe when asked about the raid. Fox News journalist Pat Ward also cited a comment from a White House official denying they did not receive notice of the raid and referred reporters to the Justice Department.

This assertion is also probably true, only because Joe Biden isn't really in charge.
White House Claims Biden Was Not Briefed on FBI Raid at Mar-a-Lago. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday that President Biden was not made aware that the FBI planned to search former president Donald Trump's personal residence at Mar-a-Lago before the action was carried out on Monday. "What I can tell you definitively and for sure, he was not aware of this," Jean-Pierre said of Biden. "Nobody at the White House was. Nobody was given a heads up and we did not know about what happened yesterday." Asked if the president is concerned about the potential for politically fueled violence in the wake of the raid, she said: "We would ask Americans to remain peaceful at this time."

GOP to Go on Offense Against Intel Officials in Hunter Biden Probe. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says that the House Republicans will demand answers from intelligence officials on what they knew about Hunter Biden's shady foreign business dealings while Joe Biden was vice president, according to a report from the New York Post. McCarthy says that if they don't come in voluntarily, they will be subpoenaed. "They should come in and talk to us," McCarthy told the Post. "You'd want to ask these individuals what did they know and when.

When the Biden White House calls on "experts" to support its agenda, watch your wallet. When the discovery of the Hunter Biden laptop was revealed by the New York Post nearly two years ago — the mainstream media, social media, and of course the Biden campaign immediately moved to denounce it. The casus belli for journalists, Facebook, Twitter, and the like — Biden brought this up in a presidential debate — was that its emergence three weeks before Election Day in 2020 had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation," according to 51 former national security experts, led by James Clapper, a director of National Intelligence under Barack Obama. Every one of these "experts" either lied, signed on to something they knew little about, or just simply wanted to do whatever it took to prevent the reelection of Donald J. Trump. Eighteen months later, the New York Times admitted Hunter's laptop, which provided voluminous evidence of his influence peddling centered on his being the son of a powerful politician, was authentic.

It's the worst case of Covid ever! Or maybe he never had Covid and the whole thing is a ruse to keep him out of sight.
Basement Biden still testing positive after 15 days and 4 Pfizer shots. Hmmm? COVID-stricken President Joe Biden will remain in isolation after testing positive for a seventh straight day, keeping the gaffe-prone career politician in a controlled environment as narrative engineers work on shifting public opinion about the deeply unpopular leader in the run-up to the critical midterm elections. On Friday, Biden's physician Kevin O'Connor reported that the twice-jabbed and multiple-boosted 79-year-old has run his streak of positive results to a full week but said that the patient is showing signs of improvement and that his cough is "almost completely resolved." "His temperature, pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation remain entirely normal," O'Connor added. "This morning, his SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing remained positive."

Biden's Naked. Biden's troops have been out claiming that the recession we're in, defined as two consecutive quarters or GDP decline, is not really a recession. The definition of a recession, they say, is more complex, and so, "technically," we're not in one. It doesn't take a truthful young boy to point out that this is ridiculous. On Thursday, the Commerce Department reported a decline of 0.9% in the second quarter following a decline of 1.6% in the first quarter. That's two consecutive quarters of GDP decline, so we're in a recession. Why does Biden choose to parade around naked in spite of the economic data? Not just because he doesn't want to take responsibility for his mistakes, which caused the recession, but because he wants to continue with them. Admitting the truth would mean he has to examine his policies and begin correcting them. But Biden has never reversed a single one of his failed economic policy decisions.

Joe Biden signs a blatantly illegal executive order to fund abortion. On Wednesday [8/3/2022], Joe Biden signed an executive order that would see Medicaid pay for women to cross state lines to get abortions. While the money ostensibly funds travel, the fact that money is fungible and funnels directly to abortion should mean that this executive order is stricken for violating the Hyde Amendment. In today's political environment, though, it's hard to imagine anyone with power and legal standing making the point that the order must be stricken. The Hyde Amendment is very simple: It says that federal money — which really means taxpayer money — cannot be used to fund abortions. Of course, the Hyde Amendment is violated just about every day in America and has been for decades because of the billions of taxpayer dollars sent to Planned Parenthood via Title X grants and Medicaid reimbursements.

Hunter Biden [was] involved in 2018 deal to send grain from Ukraine to China. Hunter Biden was involved in a 2018 project by Burisma Holdings to export grain from Ukraine to China, a document from his abandoned laptop shows. The scandal-scarred first son's signature was among those on a Burisma board resolution dated July 27, 2018 that concerned the "Sino Ukraine Silk Road Grain Port" project. In addition to Hunter, seven other members of Burisma's board of directors authorized their adviser, Vadym Pozharskyi, to "represent with all Chinese Potential Shareholders for development, negotiation, and contracting issues as well as operation management of the project 'Sino Ukraine Silk Road Grain Port'." Former CIA officer Joseph Cofer Black, a fellow Burisma board member, was also among those who signed off on the project, the document shows. There is no further mention of the project on Hunter's laptop — and it wasn't immediately clear if the grain was ever shipped.

All FBI Agents Must Blow Their Whistles Or They'll Be Complicit In Bureau's Politicization. Sen. Chuck Grassley's office confirmed to The Federalist that the multiple FBI whistleblowers charging misconduct related to the Hunter Biden investigation only came forward in the last two months. While the existence of these new whistleblowers proves promising, other FBI agents with knowledge of misconduct or political bias must stop hiding behind the chain of command and start blowing their own whistles. "Multiple FBI whistleblowers, including those in senior positions" informed the Iowa Republican senator that "Washington Field Office assistant special agent in charge Timothy Thibault and other FBI officials ... 'falsely portray[ed] as disinformation evidence acquired from multiple sources that provided the FBI derogatory information related to Hunter Biden's financial and foreign business activities, even though some of that information had already been or could be verified.'" The whistleblowers further charged that "in August of 2020, FBI supervisory intelligence analyst Brian Auten opened an assessment, which was used by a team of agents at FBI headquarters to improperly discredit and falsely claim that derogatory information about Biden's activities was disinformation, causing investigative activity and sourcing to be shut down."

Climate Emergency? What A Crock, Part 1. Joe Biden did not declare a climate emergency last week, as many in his party urged him to do. One Democratic senator claimed that the changing climate required "bold, intense executive action" from the president. Another said Biden needed to move because "the climate crisis is a threat to national security." But there's no emergency. It's a wholly manufactured charade. Though he put off an executive action, Biden said last Wednesday that he has "a responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger. And that's what climate change is about. It is literally, not figuratively, a clear and present danger. The health of our citizens and our communities is literally at stake." His non-COVID fever continued: "Climate change is literally an existential threat to our nation and to the world. ... Right now, 100 million Americans are under heat alert — 100 million Americans. Ninety communities across America set records for high temperatures just this year, including here in New England as we speak."

"Green" Is Unsustainable. Is the Biden administration deliberately trying to sell us out? Is Joe Biden a paid agent of the Communist Chinese, or perhaps of the Putin regime? I have always assumed that the answer is no, but the troubling question is, if Biden were a Chinese agent, what, exactly, would he be doing differently? The answer: nothing.

WH Delivers More Confusion About Biden's COVID Symptoms. Joe Biden was diagnosed with COVID on July 21. He had negative tests last week, but then tested positive again on Saturday [7/30/2022]. Both his doctor, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, and Joe Biden himself said he had no reemergence of symptoms. [Tweet] But then on Monday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden had no "reoccurring symptoms" and then in the next breath suggested he had lingering symptoms. The doctor's letter from Monday morning never mentioned that. [Tweet]

Our Hollow Leaders. Throughout his political career, Joe Biden said that he was personally opposed to abortion because good Catholics like himself believe life begins at conception and, therefore, he supported the Hyde Amendment that prohibited the use of federal funds for abortion. In 2019, when he ran for president in a strongly pro-abortion Democratic Party, he suddenly discovered that he opposed the Hyde Amendment and now believes in using federal funds to violate his sacred religious views on the sanctity of life. Similarly, in 2015, Biden stated that, as a good Catholic, he believes that life begins at conception, but in 2021, as president, paralysed by the crowd of radical pro-abortionists in his party, he discovered that he no longer believes that.

FBI, Director Christopher Wray are in for a rude wake-up call over Hunter Biden investigation. FBI Director Christopher Wray always seems a little too pleased with himself. But on Thursday the smirk may be wiped off his pretty face when Republican members of the House oversight committee start grilling him on the mounting evidence that something is very rotten inside the agency Wray runs. Top of the list is the curious question of why the FBI apparently did nothing with Hunter Biden's laptop, which was handed to two agents on Dec. 9, 2019, by John Paul Mac Isaac, the alarmed owner of the computer repair shop near the Biden family homes in Greenville, Del., where Hunter had dropped off his MacBook eight months earlier. Among other potential crimes to be found on the abandoned laptop, you would expect the FBI to be interested, on national security grounds, in the incriminating evidence of a corrupt foreign influence-peddling scheme run by the Biden family throughout Joe Biden's vice presidency. Equally curious is why the FBI apparently did nothing with another voluminous trove of corroborating material, given to them in October 2020 by Hunter's former business partner, Navy veteran Tony Bobulinski, including emails and other documents which replicate those on Hunter's laptop.

Why this Democrat thinks Biden must resign before the midterms. On March 9, 2020, Joe Biden — then the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee — described himself as "a bridge" to a new generation of Democratic leaders who are "the future of this country." As we approach the halfway point in President Biden's first term, it's clear the time has come for him to embrace his place in history as a transitional president and resign gracefully. Biden faces record-low approval ratings, an impending red-wave midterm election, renewed concerns about his physical health and cognitive fitness, a failed domestic agenda with no path forward and glaring foreign-policy mistakes. If Republicans capture Congress, he'll also face questions he can't answer on his involvement in his son Hunter's lucrative foreign business.

Sen. Ron Johnson expects 'deal' to conceal Hunter Biden indictment. Hunter Biden may be indicted, but the public likely will never know the whole story, according to a prediction by a Republican senator. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), who has led the charge in Congress to investigate the business dealings of President Joe Biden's son, made the assertion to Fox News host Dan Bongino, who asked if Johnson believes the "mainstream media" will turn on the commander in chief now because of his low poll numbers. "That's my prediction," Johnson said before sharing his "other" forecast. "My other prediction is they may indict Hunter Biden, but they'll probably seal — they'll do a deal — they'll seal all the information. The American public will never get the full truth," the senator said.

Don't hold your breath.
Republicans Prepare Biden Family Business Investigation Storm. Republicans are preparing to investigate Hunter, James, and President Joe Biden's history of shady business deals after the GOP likely reclaims the House in the midterm elections. Plans have already begun to investigate the Biden family business. Demand letters are being written and strategies developed to ensure Hunter, Joe, and James Biden are held accountable for the misdeeds and falsehoods perpetrated on American citizens, which includes the establishment media's suppression of the "Laptop From Hell" leading up to the 2020 presidential election.

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson accuses FBI of 'tipping the scales of justice' in Hunter Biden probe. Senator Ron Johnson on Sunday accused the FBI of major bias over whistleblower claims that the bureau suppressed negative information about Hunter Biden. The Wisconsin Republican told Fox & Friends that he has 'no faith' in FBI Director Christopher Wray, who was appointed by Donald Trump, to oversee anything related to President Joe Biden's son. Meanwhile the Justice Department is currently pursuing an unrelated tax investigation into Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings.

Biden tests positive for COVID in 'rebound' case, doctor says. President Biden tested positive for COVID-19 in a "rebound" case on Saturday, according to the White House. "As described last week, acknowledging the potential for so-called 'rebound' COVID positivity observed in a small percentage of patients treated with PAXLOVID the President increased his testing cadence, both to protect people around him and to assure early detection of any return of viral replication," White House Doctor Dr. Kevin O'Connor said. O'Connor said in the letter that Biden tested negative for COVID-19 on Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning, Thursday morning, and Friday morning, but tested positive on Saturday morning by an antigen test.

Biden tests positive for COVID again and goes back into White House isolation. President Joe Biden says he's 'feeling fine' after he joined the growing number of people who have tested positive for Covid-19 days after finishing their course of Paxlovid, a powerful anti-viral treatment. At least one prominent physician has warned that up to 40 percent of those who take a course of Paxlovid, end up testing positive for the virus again within 30 days. Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a prominent cardiologist and professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University Hospital, tweeted: 'I think this was predictable.' The doctor continued: 'The prior data suggesting 'rebound' Paxlovid positivity in the low single digits is outdates and with BA.5 is likely 20-40% or even higher.'

The last major media holdout still shilling for Joe Biden. By all accounts — by every economic indicator, every political poll, every overseas interaction, every lie at the presidential podium — Joe Biden is a miserable failure as president. Inflation brought on by government spending has now tipped the economy into recession and there is no end in sight. The border lies open, with the Border Patrol converted into a de facto valet and escort service for literally millions of unvetted illegal border crossers. Crime is out of control. America is a laughingstock abroad, with Biden's name on the most humiliating military pullout in U.S. history. He's a man utterly unfit for the office, a man whose very placement in office demonstrates the horrific consequences of electoral fraud.

17 Times Joe Biden Got Involved in the Family Business. President Joe Biden was involved in his son Hunter Biden's business dealings at least 17 times over ten years, records from Hunter's "laptop from hell" and reports show. Though Joe Biden and his staff have claimed at least seven times that the president has not been involved in the family business, 17 pieces of evidence suggest Joe Biden has played an influential role in his son Hunter and brother James's activities. Fifty-eight percent of voters believe that Joe Biden has played a role in his family's business. Sixty percent say Hunter Biden has sold "influence and access" to the president.

We've finally got confirmation that Joe was 'the Big Guy' all along. Currently, Merrick Garland is seriously contemplating indicting Donald Trump for daring to do what Democrats did in 2000 and 2016: question an election's validity. That is a dangerous ideological turn. Meanwhile, in the land of actual facts, Miranda Devine has unearthed compelling evidence that, when Hunter's business partners were planning to have "H" hold "10%" for "the Big Guy" as part of a massive deal with a CCP-backed Chinese energy company, "the Big Guy" was Joe Biden, who had just left the vice president's office. The background to this story is that Hunter Biden, in a drugged out haze, dropped his computer off in a Delaware repair shop and never returned to pay for the repair and pick up the computer. And so it was that Hunter Biden's hard drive entered the public domain right before the 2020 election. In addition to his exceptionally disgusting, debauched, and definitely illegal habits (illicit drugs, prostitutes, and possibly much worse), the laptop was also overflowing with information about Hunter's business dealings.

Hunter Biden Associate's Panicked Message About Info Coming out and the 'Big Guy'. We found out in October 2020 from a message on Hunter Biden's laptop that Hunter was supposed to be holding 10 percent of the joint venture with CEFC for the "Big Guy." Tony Bobulinski — who was involved in the deal — identified Joe Biden as the "Big Guy." Now, there's more information about the "Big Guy." According to the NY Post, when the laptop story broke back in October 2020, James Gilliar, who was also involved in the CEFC deal, sent a panicked email to an unnamed person to talk about the "Big Guy," when it became clear that some of this was going to come out.

Biden allies: Where is Absent Joe? [Scroll down] In other words, Absent Joe has all but checked out and is now just going through the motions. He's either not interested in or up to doing the job of a modern president, preferring demagoguery and crankery to competence and real engagement. He may be the first president who lame-ducked himself before the first midterms.

FBI Whistleblowers Allege FBI Scheme to Protect Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. Yesterday [7/25/2022], Senator Chuck Grassley sent [a] letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray regarding allegations from "highly credible whistleblowers" about the FBI's "false portrayal" of derogatory Hunter Biden materials as "disinformation." If these allegations are true, it's a damning depiction of FBI leadership and it proves their efforts to influence the 2020 election. This is the second (if not third) straight election the FBI has meddled in, given the influence the Trump/Russia investigation — and its unlawful origins with the FBI — had over the 2018 midterms. Grassley's whistleblowers allege that in August 2020, FBI Headquarters "improperly discredit[ed] negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease." In fact, it was a scheme of top FBI officials. As Grassley explains: "the allegations provided to my office appear to indicate that there was a scheme in place among certain FBI officials to undermine derogatory information connected to Hunter Biden by falsely suggesting it was disinformation." The context and timing is important, as this was leading up to the 2020 election. Who benefited from this scheme? Democrat candidate Joe Biden.

Whistleblower allegations raise prospect FBI misled Senate's Hunter Biden probe, Ron Johnson says. ecent revelations from FBI whistleblowers raise the strong prospect that the bureau engaged in a "targeted effort to intentionally undermine" the Senate's pre-election probe into Hunter Biden's business deals, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) declares in a stinging letter to the nation's top law enforcement and intelligence officials. "Unfortunately, the FBI can no longer be trusted to investigate Hunter Biden with integrity and the equal application of law," Johnson said in a letter sent late Tuesday to FBI Director Chris Wray, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines. Johnson's missive came a day after his colleague, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, divulged that multiple FBI whistleblowers have come forward to allege political manipulation and other wrongdoing inside the FBI, including falsely portraying negative information about Hunter Biden as disinformation back in 2020 when in fact it was true.

The National Tragedy of Hunter Biden's Laptop. The recent release of more gigabytes of images and information from Hunter Biden's laptop adds to the evidence that the all-out elite effort to bury the scandal before the 2020 election wasn't just to protect Joe Biden, the preferred candidate of the American oligarchy. Sure, the 50-plus senior U.S. intelligence professionals who signed a letter claiming the laptop's contents were "Russian disinformation" wanted to stop Donald Trump from sending angry tweets at them, but the laptop suggests there was much more at stake. The U.S. spy chiefs who signed that infamously misleading letter — including John Brennan, Leon Panetta, Michael Hayden, and James Clapper — had directed America's foreign intelligence services while Biden was vice president and before that chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. They knew what his son Hunter was doing abroad, because it was their job to know what foreign services know about leading U.S. officials and their families, and how it might affect U.S. national security. But none of these powerful and experienced men, presumably dedicated to defending the national interest, lifted a finger to stop Hunter Biden — and really, how could they? He was Joe Biden's son, after all. And by doing nothing about him, the pillars of America's intelligence community became the curators of the Biden family's scandal.

Hunter Biden's biz partner called Joe Biden 'the Big Guy' in panicked message after Post's laptop story. One of Hunter Biden's former business partners referred to Joe Biden as "the Big Guy" in a panicked message the same day The [New York] Post broke news of the infamous laptop from hell left behind by the president's son, The Post has learned. James Gilliar, a former British Special Forces officer with ties to UK intelligence services, discussed The Post's exclusive report with an unnamed person on Oct. 14, 2020, according to the message provided by a whistleblower to GOP congressional investigators probing the laptop. In the message, Gilliar, 58, reassured the person that the revelations about Biden's apparent involvement in his son's foreign deals would not be damaging — regardless of the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

FBI whistleblowers claim the agency lied about Hunter Biden's laptop. In late summer 2020, the mother of all October surprises emerged: An abandoned Hunter Biden laptop filled to the brim with information about Hunter's drug and sex addictions (scurrilous but arguably irrelevant to Joe) plus massive amounts of information about Hunter's shady business deals with America's geopolitical enemies, all of which he obtained thanks to the Biden family business (aka Joe Biden using his office to sell out America). The tech companies immediately censored the story but, even more tellingly, the FBI claimed that the manifestly real material was, in fact, "disinformation." Now, though, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) says that FBI whistleblowers have emerged to say that the FBI lied.

The Editor says...
Suppose you were a laptop repairman and Hunter Biden had abandoned his computer in your shop, and you found it was teeming with evidence of serious felonies, and you then turned the whole thing over to the FBI, and then the FBI pretended not to see anything incriminating on the laptop. What is the lesson you would learn from this experience? The lesson is: You can't trust the FBI. Here is another case where another group of people learned the same lesson: [1] [2] [3] [4]

Dozens of Republicans Call on Biden to Take Cognitive Test as Dems Sound Alarm on His Age. Dozens of Republicans are sounding the alarm on President Joe Biden's mental capabilities, stressing that he is not fit to run the country. Led by Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), more than 50 GOP members wrote a letter to Biden urging him to take a cognitive test. "We again write to you to express concern with your current cognitive state and to urge you to submit to a cognitive test immediately. We believe that, regardless of gender, age, or political party, all Presidents should follow the example set by former President Trump to document and demonstrate sound mental abilities," the letter reads. The letter continues to argue that Biden's cognitive skills have largely been ignored, despite several Democrats questioning his ability to be in office.

Biden Unblinking. According to the White House, President Biden has tested negative and recovered from his bout with Covid. This according to the announcement of of Biden's personal physician today. Precautions will be taken to protect him from a "rebound" infection. Where is Kevin O'Connor, the president's personal physician? He appears to have adopted his own basement strategy a la the Biden 2020 presidential campaign. He has remained away from the press and issued daily written reports in lieu of any briefings where he might be asked uncomfortable questions such as what medications the president is on.

Ri-i-i-ight. He's 79 years old and got over Covid in only a few days. Or maybe he never had Covid.
Biden tests negative for COVID-19 five days after diagnosis. President Joe Biden is free to emerge from isolation after twice testing negative for COVID-19. On Wednesday morning [7/27/2022], White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor sent a letter announcing that Biden completed his Paxlovid course on Monday night and that antigen tests given Tuesday evening and early Wednesday both came back negative. Biden has stopped taking Tylenol, and his symptoms "are almost completely resolved," giving him the green light to discontinue isolation. Along with the negative test announcement, the White House told reporters that Biden would make a speech at 11:30 a.m. in the Rose Garden. The subject of the talk wasn't mentioned.

Wide-Eyed Clip of Joe Biden Ranting About 'Insurrection' Raises Eyebrows. Don't get me wrong, there's never really a good time to have Biden out in front of people, but the rush to push out recordings of him after he contracted COVID-19 has led to some really uncomfortable scenes. Almost immediately, the White House released a picture that left nothing but questions. Biden then did a live stream (which cut off suddenly) in which he looked like he was about keel over. Then, on Monday, the president's comms team put together a clip of him ranting about "insurrection," and they really shouldn't have. Watch the entire thing and see if you can figure out why he looks so weird. [Video clip] [...] For some reason, though, the White House feels like they have to prove Biden is up for the job. Yet, their attempts to do so only continually show he isn't up for the job. It'd be better to just isolate the president than continue to show his weakness so often.

Biden's Behavior Abruptly Changes in Spliced Video Speech Released by The White House; From Sleepy-Eyed to Bug-Eyed and Not Blinking. A bug-eyed Joe Biden barely blinked, perhaps twice, toward the end of a choppily spliced video of an 11 minute long speech released by the White House on Monday that featured a subdued, sleepy-eyed Biden blinking normally at the beginning but ended with a suddenly changed, agitated, bug-eyed Biden after an abrupt edit. There are at least ten spliced edits in the video, some coming seconds apart, others minutes apart. Tucker Carlson recently reported a source told him Biden was fed pills by his staff, overseen by wife Jill, during the 2020 campaign that changed him from acting "like a small child" so he could perform at speeches and events. [...] Monday's was the first standing speech for Biden since taking ill, however it appears he was not able to make the eleven minute speech in one take, nor it would appear without getting amped up by meds.

Doocy, Portnoy Torch WH Over Biden's Doctor Hiding From Press. For the second press briefing in a row, the White House took a beating from reporters due to President Joe Biden's personal physician hiding from hungry reporters' questions on the state of Biden's COVID treatment, recovery, and overall health. You know it's bad when reporters from CBS News, The New York Times, and NewsMax all grilled the White House COVID-19 response coordinator Ashish Jha on the administration's lack of transparency. Due to Biden's bout of COVID, and the fact that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre can't take questions from the media without stepping on rakes, Jha was trotted out to handle all questions related to Biden's illness and other public health-related topics. CBS News Radio White House correspondent Steven Portnoy was the first to take on Jha over Biden's personal physician Kevin O'Connor's absence.

GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley alleges 'scheme' among FBI officials to bury negative information about Hunter Biden. Republican Senator Chuck Grassley is holding the FBI and Justice Department's feet to the fire on Hunter Biden, demanding the agencies answer claims from a whistleblower they downplayed negative information on Hunter Biden in the lead up to the 2020 election. Grassley revealed on Monday [7/25/2022] that 'highly credible' whistleblowers have come forward alleging a widespread effort within the FBI to discredit negative information about President Joe Biden's son. 'The information provided to my office involves concerns about the FBI's receipt and use of derogatory information relating to Hunter Biden, and the FBI's false portrayal of acquired evidence as disinformation,' Grassley wrote FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Biden Pats Himself on the Back about Gas Prices as Americans Pay at the Pump. Brandon just got back from his trip to beg the sheiks of Saudi Arabia to pump more oil to keep prices lower for American consumers, a trip made more ridiculous even than it sounds at first glance thanks to Biden's heated, anti-Saudi rhetoric, his administration's hostility to American energy producers, and the lack of any reason for the Saudi's to go along with what Biden wants given his attempts to strike a deal with Iran and the fact that they make more money when prices are higher. And, unsurprisingly, it doesn't really appear to have worked. The Saudis will do as they please, particularly when Biden is the dimwitted American they're dealing with. But that didn't stop Biden from using his Twitter account to start patting himself on the back about the recent dip in gas prices, making a small price correction in the still sky-high price of gas sound like a major victory for the American consumer and his administration.

FBI, DOJ accused of burying Hunter Biden dirt: Sen. Chuck Grassley. The FBI and Justice Department have been accused by "highly-credible whistleblowers" of burying "verified and verifiable" dirt on President Biden's troubled son Hunter by incorrectly dismissing the intelligence as "disinformation," according to Sen. Chuck Grassley. The ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee made the explosive claims Monday in an official Senate letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland. He insisted the allegations were so serious they would prove — if confirmed — that both offices were "institutionally corrupted to their very core."

Is the clock finally running out on Hunter Biden? Hunter [Biden] has always had impeccable timing and, like Blanche DuBois, "always depended on the kindness of strangers." He went to law school after his father became a powerful U.S. senator with a long line of influence-seekers eager to help him and his family. After graduating, Hunter was given a high-paying job with MBNA, the bank holding company, which supported key credit card legislation being pushed by his father in the Senate. Later, Hunter was given a ridiculous appointment to the board of Amtrak and became its vice chair, despite an utter lack of credentials. His father, however, was a critical advocate for Amtrak in the Senate. When his father became vice president, Hunter and an uncle allegedly cashed in on a long line of foreign entities seeking influence with his father.

Experts: Hunter Biden's Failure to Register as Foreign Agent Could Mean Prison. Hunter Biden reportedly did not register as a foreign agent while making business deals overseas, according to the New York Post. Experts said recently it was a possible crime that could result in him being sent to prison. The report noted Biden was registered as a lobbyist for domestic interests but not under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). In addition, Biden could reportedly face charges regarding tax violations and lying about illegally buying a firearm.

Even Reliable CNN Commentator Turns On Biden, Admits The Undeniable. For a football team, when your hometown fans boo at you as you take the field in your own stadium, you know you've been playing poorly. [...] And for a Democratic president, if the pundits on CNN and/or MSNBC start trashing your performance, you know you're in a world of hurt. Such is the case with President Joe Biden who received a thorough beatdown from far-left, ultra-loyal Democrat and CNN commentator and former Obama Administration official Van Jones recently. Add to the equation the fact that Jones' negativity comes in regarding Biden's specific results in relation to the black community, and things really start to look ugly.

Bidenvilles: America's New Emblem of Decay. I've seen plenty of shantytowns in cities from India to Togo; they are an unfortunate consequence of rapid urbanization. What surprised me when I came home to Washington, D.C., a few months ago was seeing shantytowns both outside the State Department, where my old office was, and Union Station, near my new office. In America under President Joe Biden, the word "Bidenville" is beginning to gain traction as a term for a waste-filled, insalubrious tent city inhabited by what the left calls "people experiencing homelessness," who often suffer from an unfortunate combination of drug addiction and mental illness.

Hunter Biden was considered victim by Delaware police in controversial gun incident. Delaware State Police considered Hunter Biden the victim in an October 2018 incident in which his handgun was discarded in a grocery store trashcan near a Delaware high school, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation into the incident. No arrests were made as a result of the incident because Hunter declined to press charges against his sister-in-law, Hallie Biden, the source said. Hallie, who was in a tumultuous relationship with Hunter at the time, took Hunter's gun from his car on Oct. 23, 2018, wrapped it in a shopping bag, and threw it in a trashcan outside a Janssen's Market grocery store because she said she was scared for his life. "He was technically a victim of a theft of a firearm. But in Delaware, we don't prosecute unless a victim is willing to pursue prosecution, so that incident was cleared out with no victim cooperation," the source said. "Which means the victim does not want prosecution."

AG Merrick Garland's kid gloves vs. Hunter Biden. Yet another anonymously sourced report claims the long-running federal probe into Hunter Biden has reached a "critical stage" as prosecutors decide whether to charge the president's son. This time the breathless story came from CNN. In March, it was The New York Times and The Washington Post insisting the probe over taxes, lobbying and other potential crimes was approaching the finish line. Sooner or later, somebody's scoop will be true and the case actually will conclude. But count me skeptical that the ending will be worth the wait. That's because I don't believe there is a snowball's chance in hell that Hunter Biden will face serious criminal charges. You've heard of too big to fail? The president's son is too big to indict.

WH Loses It on Reporters, Video of Biden Cuts out When They Ask Him How He Is. As we noted earlier, we're not hearing from Joe Biden's doctor personally during the White House briefings. We're getting translations of what he's saying or written statements from the doctor. What this does is prevent reporters from being able to thoroughly question the doctor on any concerns about Biden. Meanwhile, we're being told embarrassing things that make it sounds like we have a toddler in the office — including that Biden "cleaned his plate" and ate all his dinner. I wanted to share this additional video from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who insisted to the reporters that they have heard "directly" from the doctor because they got a letter from him, while the reporters insisted that's not hearing directly from him. [Video clip]

Is The Joe Biden Crime Family Finally Breaking Apart? The news these days for President Joe Biden and his errant son Hunter is almost all bad. As the Justice Department investigates Hunter Biden for tax and weapons charges, it's become increasingly obvious over the years that Joe Biden has far more to answer for than Hunter does. [...] Yes, Joe Biden has been revealed to be a grifter who tolerated his own very compromised son's illegal escapades in order to build his family's wealth. And then he lied about it, repeatedly. What's shocking is how long it's gone on. Many of the recent revelations come from Hunter Biden's misplaced laptop, whose contents are now being spilled on the Internet as the mainstream media do their best to ignore the lost PC's politically disastrous contents.

Is the Hunter Biden probe delay to protect Dems in the midterms? Word is that the Biden Justice Department is finally getting set to press charges against first son Hunter after long dragging its feet on the probe. But it looks likely the feds will shy from the key issues exposed in The [New York] Post's reporting on Hunter's laptop to spare Democrats in advance of this year's midterm elections. The probe began way back in 2018; Hunter himself admitted prosecutors were "investigating my tax affairs" back in December 2020. (G-men are said to have expanded the investigation to include potential money-laundering, lobbying and firearms violations.) A federal grand jury has been meeting since at least February, when — as The Post reported exclusively at the time — at least two witnesses testified, including an ex-girlfriend who detailed Hunter's extravagant spending habits and faced questions about his income.

WH Response to Why Biden's Schedule Has Been Empty for Two Days Is Pretty Pathetic. [Scroll down] Sometimes, the media presses and asks some good questions. They did that on Tuesday, asking why wasn't there anything on Joe Biden's public schedule for the past two days. The scramble from first, National Security Council coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby and then, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, to try to cover for Biden was something to behold. [Tweet] Kirby claimed that just because there weren't things listed on the public schedule didn't mean there wasn't a lot of work going on. Then he passed the buck to explain things to Jean-Pierre. That didn't go any better.

Biden Is Seriously Ill. [Scroll down] There's a reason that all leftist policy is about transferring responsibility from individuals to groups. Biden may be the least popular president in history — but that's good for Democrats. Just as it's good that he thinks he has cancer (or asthma or whatever). If the Democrats can force him not to run for a second term, they can make him the scapegoat for all the suffering wrought intentionally by the leftist agenda. It gives them a clean slate. As long as America is willing to buy it. I don't mean, of course, that America might be willing to buy into wrapping this trainwreck around Biden's neck. They have known from the start, even Biden's voters have known, that he was never really in charge. They knew that other people were standing in the shadows and pulling the strings. Some Democrats voted for a third term of Barack Obama. Some Democrats voted for a first term of Obama consigliere Susan Rice, et al. But no one, or almost no one, really voted for Biden, who, remember, largely ran his campaign from his basement.

Joe Biden Breaks Mask Habit After Coronavirus Infection — Even in Close Proximity to Photographer. President Joe Biden broke CDC guidelines on Thursday by refusing to wear a mask around others while infected with the coronavirus. The CDC website states, "It is important to wear a mask or respirator when you are sick or caring for someone who is sick with COVID-19." Biden shared a photo and video of himself, seemingly alone, on social media. In order to capture those images, he had to be in close proximity to an individual holding a camera — and chose to go maskless: [Tweet]

The Editor says...
Aren't we all expected to stay home from the office if we know we've got Covid? Apparently there is a certain level of VIP above which that's not true.

On Cue, Biden Gets the COVID Pre-Election Panic Ball Rolling. The buzz around conservative circles for weeks has been about just when and how the Democrats would start ramping up the COVID panic porn in order to lay the groundwork for a sequel to 2020's election "irregularities." Who knew that the guy at the top would kick things into high gear? In this era of casual conspiracy theories, it's not difficult to imagine that the Democrats have been doing everything but making Biden lick doorknobs and kiss hobos to get some pre-election Bat Flu. [...] They're hoping that COVID can once again be the shiny object that distracts voters from what they're actually peddling. The odds that it will work again aren't that good. But, bless their rotten little hearts, they're gonna keep trying.

Obviously the Covid claim is a cover story, if it won't stand up to the slightest scrutiny.
Karine Jean-Pierre on how Biden caught COVID: 'I don't think that matters'. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stunned reporters Thursday [7/21/2022] when she brushed off an inquiry about how President Biden caught COVID-19, saying: "I don't think that matters." Biden developed symptoms Wednesday evening — less than four days after he returned to Washington from a trip to Saudi Arabia — and tested positive Thursday morning, according to the White House. "Where exactly was the president infected?" a journalist asked Jean-Pierre and White House coronavirus coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha at a briefing focused on the 79-year-old president's health. "I don't think we know," Jha said, before turning over the podium to Jean-Pierre.

White House-Issued Photo of Joe Biden After COVID Diagnosis Raises Some Questions. [Scroll down] In a statement issued earlier announcing Biden had COVID, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre noted that the President "will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time." Indeed, Biden appears to be "carrying out" some "duties" in the photo below (which Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich confirmed was taken today). But it's what Biden isn't doing that has raised questions: [Tweet] Though thankfully he is reportedly only experiencing "mild symptoms," he still has COVID. So, like, where is his mask? According to the CDC, if you're diagnosed with COVID you should not only isolate but you should also wear a mask while you're indoors and especially if you're going to be around other people.

The Editor says...
Obviously the Covid claim is a cover story. Biden's puppeteers want him to stay out of sight for a while. In this case, "a while" will last until after the mid-term election. That means that after a few weeks, when the Covid claim is no longer even remotely believable, he will get some other disease — perhaps monkeypox — that will keep him locked up "in his office."

Biden Has No Right To Declare a National Climate Emergency. The Washington Post reported Monday night [7/18/2022] that President Joe Biden is "considering whether to declare a national climate emergency" to "salvage his stalled environmental agenda and satisfy Democrats on Capitol Hill." A few hours later, the Associated Press reported that the administration would "hold off" on the announcement as he, presumably, lays the political groundwork to move forward. There's no "It's Summer" clause in the Constitution empowering the president to ignore the will of Congress and unilaterally govern when it gets hot. The rejection of the president's "agenda" by the lawmaking branch of government isn't a justification for executive action; it's the opposite. The Senate has unambiguously declined to implement Biden's climate plan. Though you have to marvel at the utter shamelessness of Democrats, incessantly warning that "democracy" is on the precipice of extinction, now urging the president to act like a petty dictator.

Biden Blasts Republicans for Failing to Recognize Climate 'Emergency,' Vows to Use Executive Action. President Joe Biden called climate change an "emergency" during a Wednesday speech and vowed to use executive powers to bypass Congress, days after Senator Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) dealt a death blow to his sweeping legislative agenda. "Since Congress is not acting as it should, and these guys here are, but we're not getting any Republican votes, this is an emergency," Biden said from the podium in Somerset, Mass., apparently gesturing at Democrats around him. The president stopped short of issuing a national climate emergency, but said he would use executive powers to address the issue. "As president I'll use my executive powers to combat climate crisis in the absence of Congressional action," Biden added.

The Editor says...
There is no climate emergency. There is no climate crisis. Long-range weather forecasts are impossible. Changing the weather through legislation is also impossible.

Joe Biden Announces He Has 'Cancer' in Series of 25th Amendment-Worthy Moments. Joe Biden just dropped the biggest bombshell in presidential history. Either that or he dropped the biggest gaffe. It's probably the latter, as we'll discuss, but I'm not sure that makes things any better. While speaking in Massachusetts on Wednesday, the president claimed to have "cancer," citing supposed oil slicks on the windows of cars. Apparently, being exposed to oil residue as a child gives you cancer later in life? I don't know. None of what he says in the following clip makes sense, and it's best to just take it for what it is. [...] I mean, come on, what is he talking about? Even the claim that oil was so prevalent in the air during his childhood that they used windshield wipers to get it off strikes me as fanciful. Was that really a common thing back then? And what medical science says that exposure to oil residue as a kid causes cancer over half a century later?

Bye-bye, Biden. Joe Biden has done more to drop-kick America back to the political, fiscal, and energy Stone Age than any president in memory. Under Biden, our social and economic infrastructure has been all but decimated. It is almost as if he has signed on to an America-last agenda. For that matter, does he even know what his agenda is? Or has he delegated his presidency to pre-Trump power brokers? Worst of all, Joe Biden's policies regarding racial matters have reignited a previously placid racial state. He is now exacerbating a simmering situation between white and black that hasn't been seen since the '60s. While doing this, he has turned our once illustrious military into a race-based adversarial social experiment, pitting our fighting forces against one another instead of against our enemies abroad. How can the American military defend our country against a vicious socialist, communist, or radical Islamic threat if our own fighting forces are pitted against each other by color? This is treasonous because what he has not directly promoted, he has allowed. If Biden does not remove himself, he should be removed for terminal gross incompetence. The people who are actually running this administration need to be removed as well.

"This is absolutely treason and impeachable": Biden poised to send over $1 trillion to Iran in next six years. In the same week when we learned the terrorist country of Iran is allegedly planning assassination plots against former President Trump and other officials, we now learn that the Brandon... er Biden administration is proposing a deal which would net that country over $1 trillion dollars over the next half-dozen years, according to Gateway Pundit. According to Richard Goldberg, senior advisor at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a proposal would give Iran $1.075 trillion. It looks like being one of the chief state sponsors of terrorism has its perks. "Under the deal, Iran gets a financial package worth up to $275 billion in the first year and as much as $800 billion over the next five," Goldberg writes.

New Lawsuit Levies Major Accusation Against DOJ Concerning Hunter Biden And Durham Probes. A government ethics watchdog is now filing a lawsuit against the Department of Justice, accusing the department of "hiding" information from the public concerning the withholding of records about potential bias and conflicts of interest involving high-profile cases such as the Durham investigations and the probe into Hunter Biden and his business dealings. Just the News is reporting that in June 2021, Protect the Public's Trust filed a Freedom of Information Act request to the DOJ in order to obtain records from the agency's Justice Management Division. It's now been over a year and the department has not bothered to inform the watchdog whether or not it will comply with the request.

Dear Dems: You did that! It seems that a day doesn't go by without another update on Democrats having second thoughts about President Biden. Do you recall the last time that 81 million voters soured so fast on a president? The problem is that the Democrats made this possible because it was all about beating Trump. Yes, they beat Trump, but they are now desperately dealing with a failed presidency.

The Left's Blackmailing of Biden has Unleashed National Chaos, Stagflation and Systemic Uncertainty. In the spring/early summer of 2020, it appeared that once again Bernie Sanders would seize the Democrat party nomination for president. Panic among the ruling elites set in as they rightly feared that Donald Trump would easily defeat the radical left-wing Bernie Sanders regardless of the unconstitutional voting changes they imposed in various swing states. There was no other candidate to turn to except Joe Biden whom they knew was perhaps the most corrupt and compromised politician of his generation. Nonetheless, the nation be damned as nothing was more important than defeating Trump. Thus, a malleable Joe Biden served the purpose of someone they could endlessly promote as a so-called "moderate". They were aware that the litany of allegations swirling around Joe Biden and his family and his long history of fabrications and corruption made him susceptible to political blackmail. Yet, in their profound arrogance in believing they could control the American Marxists, they chose him anyway.

Enduring Biden's corruption and incompetence. It's Weekend at Biden's now that Dementia Joe is back in the USA after what will likely be one of his last visits to anywhere other than his second assisted-living facility on the Delaware Shore. Brandon's junket this week to the Mideast was so catastrophic that even state-run media could no longer ignore his senile babbling. After stumbling off Air Force One, he vowed to "keep alive the truth and honor of the Holocaust." He meant to say, "horror." Just as he was supposed to read "hallowed" when he slurred out "hollowed ground." But there was so much more, and as usual, all dialogue guaranteed verbatim. At least twice he called the Israeli prime minister "Mr. President." He referred to "Palestinian counties." He discussed the "United Avrab Ememirates."

Resign, Joe. It is difficult, perhaps impossible, to describe just how bad President Joe Biden is at his job. Comparisons to Jimmy Carter are pervasive, but trite — and too flattering to Carter. [...] These are not mere frivolous "gaffes," the sort of thing one can laugh off. These are horrific misstatements with harrowing diplomatic and geopolitical implications, at best, and indications of a palpable senility, at worst. There is something very, very clearly wrong with the president of the United States. Even the New York Times, which for former Biden boss Barack Obama functioned as Democratic Party Pravda, ran a recent piece entitled, "At 79, Biden Is Testing the Boundaries of Age and the Presidency."

What is Joe Biden's Life Expectancy? President Joe Biden is suffering from dementia, and it's worsening before our eyes. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. His handlers know it. Why else would they issue him absurdly detailed cue cards telling him when to stand and sit? His vice president knows it. Kamala Harris explicitly noted her future running mate's cognitive problems during the 2020 Democratic debates. Even the president's drug-addicted, prostitute-frequenting, influence-peddling son knows it. [...] The notion of a second Biden term raises another question about the man, one even more existential than his undeniable cognitive dysfunction. The question is, would Joe Biden even live through a second term as president?

Biden's Collapse Exposes Rot in the Establishment. Democrats used every dirty trick in the book to push Biden past the finish line and remove the Bad Orange Man from power, but they never had a plan for what would come after the election. Everything about Biden's campaign was a cynical sham. To the undeceived, the signs of Biden's incapacity were obvious even then. Biden spent much of the campaign sequestered at home. An irresponsible, overtly political media campaigned on his behalf. They refused to cover his mental decline, covered up his family's treacherous, salacious dealings with China, the evidence of which is now undeniable, and portrayed Biden as a saint, the John Paul II of "democracy." Of course, this was all a load of poppycock. Americans are well-acquainted now with the real Biden. He is a nasty, corrupt, tired old man. But the establishment rallied behind Biden for lack of alternatives, and this factor hasn't really changed.

Hunter and Joe Biden Often Met After First Son Traveled Abroad: Report. Hunter Biden held dozens of talks with his father from 2008 to 2016, often shortly after returning home from trips abroad on business, according to data from the first son's abandoned laptop. At least 30 such talks took place, the New York Post reported on July 16, based on a personal calendar on the laptop. The meetings took place at either the White House or the vice president's residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory. The latest revelation comes amid President Joe Biden's continued claim that the two have never spoken about Hunter Biden's business dealings, which included transactions with entities and individuals in countries such as Russia and China. One of the talks occurred in February 2012, when the young Biden met with his father at the Naval Observatory. The meeting came four days after Hunter Biden was wined and dined by billionaire oligarchs in Moscow.

Biden Visits Saudi Arabia, Returns with an Empty Tin Cup and Urgent Need for More Windmills. Joe Biden is heading back from an embarrassing trip to Saudi Arabia and the middle east. Putting aside the fact that physically and mentally Biden looked weak, foolish, and generally incoherent, in an odd way he was appropriately representative of the current of U.S. influence on the global stage. Before getting to detail, first it is important to emphasize a point that doesn't get attention domestically. Democrats are exceptionally weak on all aspects of foreign policy, specifically because their modern ideology is based on hypocrisy of a stunning magnitude. Domestically, the U.S. media protect democrats by spinning everything into the best light possible. However, on the world stage the non-western leaders like Putin, Xi and MbS use that hypocrisy like geopolitical ammunition.

Hunter Biden laptop shows dozens of meetings with dad, business partners. Hunter Biden met with his father at least 30 times at the White House or the vice president's residence, often just days after he returned home from overseas business jaunts. The breakfasts, lunches and other gabfests between 2008 and 2016 raise questions about whether Hunter was relaying messages to his father on behalf of foreign clients, and cast new doubt on the president's repeated denials that he had any role in his son's shady overseas business dealings. The meetings were found in a review of the personal calendar on Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop. Eric Schwerin, the president of Hunter Biden's investment company Rosemont Seneca Partners, is named as a calendar invite recipient on 21 of 30 listed meetings, with a green check frequently indicating his confirmed receipt of the invite for meetings with the vice president. Schwerin was a longtime Hunter Biden business confidante, and had access to the elder Biden's personal financial information.

America's First Lady Leads A Biden Family Trifecta Of Buffoonery. [Scroll down] The real damage that the First Lady caused was much more than just vocalizing a clumsy ethnic stereotype and the temporary annoyance it caused with Latinos. There's no doubt that her speechwriters thought the wording was a good idea, but Jill Biden had to approve the verbiage. She's the one who spoke it, and in doing so showed how out of touch she, her staff, and the entire Democratic leadership are with everyday Americans. They don't value the various Hispanic cultures, they value power. And their identity politics approach to attaining and retaining that power is utterly insincere.

Tucker Carlson claims that witness from 2020 campaign says Biden took 'pills' under wife Jill's supervision before every public appearance. Fox News host Tucker Carlson has claimed that President Joe Biden takes 'pills' to boost his cognitive performance before public appearances. Biden, 79, has strenuously rejected similar allegations in the past, but Carlson claimed on his Friday evening [7/15/2022] show that he had spoken 'directly' to a witness who saw the alleged medication on the 2020 campaign trail. 'His staff, supervised by Dr. Jill, his wife, was giving him pills before every public appearance. Checking the time, and at the certain hour giving him a dose of something,' said Carlson. 'Before taking the medications, this person said Biden was 'Like a small child.' You could not communicate with him, he changed completely because he was on drugs and he clearly still is on drugs,' the pundit alleged.

Forget Jill Biden's Stupid Taco Quip — There's Much Worse. I'd say producing a tourism commercial to boost the income of the terror-sponsoring regime whose lifelong obsession is the destruction of the nation Jill Biden presides over as First Lady is much worse than the taco quip — especially when this tourism commercial was co-produced with a KGB-trained spy who was booted from the U.S. for espionage. To wit: "Dr. Jill Biden in Cuba to study Cuba's achievements in health and education," read a headline in Stalinist Cuba's media, Oct. 6, 2016. More interestingly, during Jill Biden's co-production with communist apparatchiks of her Potemkin tourism commercial to boost the income of Castro's military and secret police who majority own Cuba's tourism industry[,] her frequent escort was a Cuban lady named Josefina Vidal. The KGB-trained Vidal was expelled from the U.S. in October 2003 for her suspected operational links to Cuban spy Ana Belen Montes, responsible for the deepest and most damaging penetration of the U.S. Department of Defense in recent history.

Biden Claims Inflation Numbers 'Out of Date' Because of Lower Gas Prices the Last Two Weeks. This is a good example of a desperate man reaching for a life preserver that turns out to be a shark fin. Joe Biden is in the Middle East, where the Muslims don't like him or the country he leads very much at all. No American flags greeted Biden as his motorcade made its way through Jeddah, Saudi Arabia's capital. Biden spent the better part of his first year in office blasting Saudi Arabia and its leader, Mohammed bin Salman, for his part in the death of a Washington Post writer. Now, he's coming to the Saudis on his knees, begging them to increase oil production.

Biden Lied About Hunter. In the early days of the 2020 Democrat race for the nomination, when most journalists were backing Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, the conventional wisdom was that Joe Biden was too old, too out of touch, and oh-by-the-way, that Hunter Biden thing makes him a non-starter. The New Yorker wrote a blistering expose on the former Veep's son with the hopeful title, "Will Hunter Biden Jeopardize His Father's Campaign?" But, by the time Spring of 2020 rolled around, and Biden looked to be a lock for the nomination, thereby making him the one person who could stop Trump, there was a virtual news blackout on all things Hunter. The legacy, corporate media, and their partners in Big Tech went so far as to ignore, censor, and even punish any promotion of the New York Post's astounding work on the infamous "Laptop from Hell" story just two weeks before election day.

Twitter Is Suppressing Hunter Information to Protect 'The Big Guy'. In 2019, when The New York Post broke the Hunter Biden story, Twitter dutifully turned into the information KGB. The second any news of Hunter appeared, it disappeared like a dissident with a sign in Red Square. For information distribution Twitter was Pravda. It amplified propaganda disparaging the Hunter news as "classic Russian disinformation." So did MSNBC and CNN and their cadre of faithful DNC mouthpieces. The irony was not lost on anyone. Twitter hid the story and the DNC hid Joe in a basement.

Of the 18 percent, how many are Republicans?
Survey: Only 18% of Americans Want Joe Biden to Run Again. One in five Americans want President Joe Biden to run for reelection while the vast majority say it is time for Biden to call it quits, a Yahoo News/YouGov survey released Thursday [7/14/2022] found. While he is not even halfway into his presidency, Biden is struggling to find mass support for reelection come 2024. According to the survey, just 18 percent, overall, believe Biden should run again. Yahoo! describes the figure as "the lowest number to date." Further, it reflects a seven point drop from the number who said he should run in May.

We Now Know Who 'Pedo Peter' on Hunter Biden's iPad Is, and I Have Serious Questions. Last weekend, anonymous 4chan users claimed to have cracked the password of Hunter Biden's iCloud account and leaked data from his iPhone and iPad to the site. In addition to disturbing videos and chats that have since been leaked, it was revealed that Hunter Biden had tagged someone in his contact list with the name "Pedo Peter." At the time, it was not clear who "Pedo Peter" was, but that question has now been answered. Breitbart News has learned that Pedo Peter is the name assigned to his 17-year-old niece, Natalie Biden — the daughter of his late brother Beau, and of Hallie Biden, Beau's widow, with whom Hunter had a romantic relationship after Beau's passing. So, yeah, I have some questions. Serious questions.

Biden's Real Problem Isn't Age. It's Biden. I've had as much fun cracking senility jokes as anyone else, but tracking Biden's career, he spent his Senate era telling crazy lies, spewing word salads, rambling inanely and generally embarrassing himself and everyone around him. This isn't a recent development. Talking about Biden's age is a copout. The real issue with Biden isn't that he's old, it's who he is and who he's always been, corrupt, egotistical and utterly over his head. Biden has no principles and so he panders to whatever the current sentiment is. That's how he's gone from anti to pro-busing and abortion. He's a creature of his staffers, manipulated by his family, and yet is convinced of his own genius and sense of rightness. Age has no doubt worsened Biden's functionality, but the issue with his administration isn't age. We're not in this mess because Biden is in his late 70s. We would have been in this mess if he were in his forties.

Twelve Serious Questions for the Next Twelve Months. [#2] Are aspects of U.S. foreign policy being influenced by Hunter Biden? This is a scary thought. This goes back to Hunter's appointment to the board of directors of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. When Burisma was being investigated by Ukrainian authorities, Vice President Joe Biden famously threatened to withhold one billion dollars of foreign aid to get the Ukrainian chief prosecutor fired. This action protected Hunter's position and his salary of $1 million per year. Hunter later bragged that his father would talk about anything he wanted, including working Hunter's suggestions into his political platform. Considering Hunter's previous ties to China, does this influence extend to disbanding an initiative to combat Chinese espionage? What about removing restrictions on TikTok, a Chinese social media platform whose managers can access U.S. users' personal data, or possibly eliminating tariffs on Chinese imports?

Biden Backs Canada Helping Restart Russian Pipeline After Killing US Pipeline Projects. President Joe Biden's administration is supporting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's decision to ship natural gas pipeline equipment to Germany, which will lead to the European economic hub importing more Russian natural gas. State Department spokesman Ned Price expressed Washington's support for the move in a statement Monday. Trudeau's government plans to ship the equipment for the Nord Stream 1 pipeline back to Germany after it had been kept in Montreal due to sanctions on Russian gas, according to Bloomberg. The decision is aimed at preventing serious economic turmoil in Germany due to high energy prices.

The coming word-salad bar in the Oval Office. [Scroll down] I remember thinking, one morning, that my senile mother seemed pretty alert and upbeat. Then I found her pocketbook in the fridge, and when I gave it back to her, she angrily asked who [...] I was. So, I'm unfortunately well aware of the stages of dementia. And poor Joe Biden is far along that sad path. He can't really speak extemporaneously anymore, too many moving mental parts for him to make sense. Of late, even his ability to read has gone downhill, he's having problems making sense even while staring at a large-font teleprompter. It won't be long before he can no longer read at all. Biden's increasingly frail, stooped, and unsteady on his feet. When he's not falling up the stairs to Air Force One, he's falling off his bike. He'll need a walker or a wheelchair before long, maybe sooner if he takes a bad tumble, a common occurrence in elderly dementia sufferers. Emotionally, Biden's entered the phase of dementia where little things — like softball questions from the Democrat-boot-licking press — make him angry.

At least she did not call us 'burritos'. As you know, Jill Biden was in San Antonio doing a little "outreach" to the Hispanic community. Here's what she thinks of as outreach: "Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the bodegas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength..." Jill thinks of Latins as "tacos." By the way, Raul is UnidosUS President Raul Yzaguirre. I should add that I debated a member of that group on TV earlier this year. I don't think that UnidosUS represents the diversity in the Hispanic community. It is a left-wing group. Was recently elected Representative Mayra Flores invited to speak? How about our Hispanic U.S. senator Ted Cruz? Did any speaker make a case for school choice? What about the Biden border crisis? So the First Lady was speaking to a left wing group and decided to get cute or pander with a joke that only a liberal would laugh at.

As Democrats And The Press Turn On Biden, Remember: They Are The Regime That Empowered Him. "Biden, At 79, Shows Signs Of Age And Aides Fret About His Image," reads a headline on the front page of Sunday's New York Times. It's a goofy article; one that reluctantly tries to tackle the president's publicly deteriorating mental faculties while claiming he's still more fit than either Presidents Ronald Reagan or Donald Trump (Republicans). At one point, the reporter even cites "experts" who "put Mr. Biden in a category of 'super-agers' who remain unusually fit as they advance in years." But foolishness aside, there it sits: an article questioning Biden's fitness for office on the front page of the Sunday Times. And they weren't done: "Democrats Sour on Biden, Citing Age and Economy," the top headline read in Monday's New York Times. "Poll Shows Most Want New '24 Candidate as Pessimism Becomes Pervasive."

Democrats Must Jettison Joe Biden BEFORE the Midterm Season Heats Up. As the Hunter Biden story continues to explode in scandal and scope, it's becoming impossible to hide. [...] I previously predicted that party handlers would keep Biden in place until after the midterm elections, then use him as a sop for all the Democrat's failure vibes before jettisoning him ahead of the 2024 election season. But now, I don't think they can wait that long: Hunter's laptop and iPhone disaster is ballooning out of control. Ordinarily, we on the right would disregard a story like Hunter Biden's leaked videos and communications because it's too perfect. It's got everything: hookers, drugs, dysfunction, and massive Biden family corruption straight up to the top. It validates everything the right has been saying so perfectly, it simply has to be fake. But, no: it's real.

Hunter Biden payments to Eastern European escort ring were flagged by bank: Report. Hunter Biden's payments to a Ukrainian woman linked to an Eastern European escort ring were flagged by JPMorgan Chase in late 2018 and early 2019 in a report filed with the federal government, according to a new report. Hunter spent over $30,000 on escorts, many of them linked to ".ru" Russian email addresses, who worked with a "model agency" called UberGFE between November 2018 and March 2019, the Washington Examiner previously reported. Biden claimed to members of his family that he was broke during that time, but he was able to make payments to the escorts thanks in part to President Joe Biden committing to wiring him a total of $100,000 to help pay his bills from December 2018 through January 2019. The release of the suspicious activity report, or SAR, comes after top Republican senators demanded that the Department of Justice in a letter Thursday investigate Joe Biden's apparently unwitting financing of his son's participation in the Eastern European escort ring.

Hopelessness is all the Democrats have left. It looks like President Gremlin may be done. The Dems are starting to turn on him. Both the New York Times and The Atlantic have run stories that Democrat party leaders are questioning old Joe's ability to do the job. Duh! In fact, according to the Daily Mail, one anonymous Democrat lawmaker called the Biden administration, "rudderless, aimless, and hopeless." And that was from somebody on his own team — ouch. But I have to disagree with whoever coined that term. They're more wrong than right. There has been nothing aimless or rudderless about anything Biden has done. The Biden administration has been misguided, not unguided. [...] You've got to give the man credit. He knows what his base wants. Unfortunately, he foolishly decided to serve his base, and not all Americans. That's going to cost him.

Why Biden Is Putting Us In Danger. There is no evidence that DOE went out of its way to sell American oil to Unipec, and little reason to believe that the U.S. could have refined that oil into gasoline, diesel, and other products had it remained in the U.S. After all, U.S. oil refineries are operating at 94% capacity. [...] But the reason our refineries are at maximum capacity is because Biden revoked a permit for a massive refinery expansion in the U.S. Virgin Islands in March and halted its operations entirely in May. And where the U.S. released 50 million barrels of oil in 2021 and 180 million barrels of oil in 2022 so far, China has only released 7.4 million barrels of oil, which is just a half day's consumption. Is that because China is oil-poor? No. It has equal-sized petroleum reserves to the U.S. In fact, despite promises in November and again in January to release oil from its reserves, China has instead been increasing its reserves. And there is no evidence that any non-Chinese firms, much less American firms, bought any of its released reserve oil, which undercuts the Biden Administration's claim that the SPR release was being reciprocated.

Jill Biden mocked for comparing Hispanics to tacos at 'Latinx Incluxion' conference. First lady Jill Biden faced some mockery and ridicule after she spoke at a "Latinx Incluxion" conference and compared Hispanics to tacos. Biden was the keynote speaker at the Latinx IncluXion Luncheon held at the Grand Hyatt Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas, on Monday [7/11/2022]. While addressing the mostly Hispanic audience, the first lady mispronounced "bodegas" as "bogedas," and then compared the Hispanic community to breakfast tacos. "The diversity of this community as distinct at the bogedas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength!"

Hispanic Journalists Drag Jill Biden for Comparing Them to 'Breakfast Tacos'. No, that headline isn't satire. Jill Biden did actually compare Hispanics to "breakfast tacos" on Monday while speaking in San Antonio. She also apparently can't pronounce the word "bodega," instead going with "bo-gah-da." Was she trying to cop a faux-Spanish pronunciation to up her street cred? The First Lady has a history of such, including her infamous "si-se-podway" gaffe during the 2020 campaign. As RedState reported, these latest flubs came during something called a "LatinX IncluXion" conference, which can be translated to "Democrats want to lose Hispanic voters." And while the right has had a good time with the "breakfast tacos" comment, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists didn't find it funny at all. They released a statement dragging Jill Biden and her speech writers for coming up with such a line.

Biden Family Sought To Make Money By Giving China 'Preferential Access' To US Energy. Relatives of President Joe Biden worked to give China "preferential access" to American gas following a Chinese energy magnate's pledge to lend millions of dollars to the Biden "family," materials on Hunter Biden's laptop reviewed by The Daily Wire show. The shocking bid to transfer American liquid natural gas (LNG) to an adversarial communist nation came in 2017, when Hunter and James Biden — the now-president's son and brother — and their business partners sought to help build an LNG facility in Louisiana called Monkey Island using Chinese materials, then sell the gas to China. In May of that year, Hunter Biden met with Ye Jianming, the founder of corrupt Chinese energy giant CEFC Energy, who gave Hunter Biden a large diamond, the New York Times reported in 2018. A document sent to Hunter Biden by JiaQi Bao, who advised the future president's son on energy deals, said the cooperation set up to run Monkey Island wanted a Biden-linked firm called Hudson West to invest between $350 million and $1.5 billion in the project, but that onerous U.S. government review process made the investment less attractive.

What's it gonna take for Hunter Biden's pervy, corrupt, doings to matter? It probably shouldn't surprise anyone that denizens of the 4Chan anonymous bulletin board claim to have hacked into Hunter Biden's cellphone cloud account and are busy posting its pervy pictures. [...] Hunter, recall, is Joe Biden's closest advisor. He "earns" as much as $500,000 a pop for his "paintings" which even top gallery artists don't pull in, and nobody's allowed to know who his buyers are. He hasn't dumped his China holdings, yet has admitted that he's dealing with top Chinese spies in some of his previously disclosed laptop disclosures. He's clearly unstable, engages in illegal drug and gun activity, has been in trouble for tax evasion, owes money to hookers and strippers throughout the narrative, and takes big payments from the world's gamiest regimes, who would have to know all his "secrets." Worse still, Biden's closest advisor does seem to be having an impact on foreign policy.

You'll Never Believe the Contacts on Hunter's iPhone. Hunter's iPhone has been the source of the most prurient interest since 4Chan users this weekend began releasing data reportedly hacked from the backup stored on his Laptop from Hell. Presidentish Joe Biden's son's phone was apparently loaded with sex, drugs, and... FBI cyber specialists? Among Hunter Biden's contacts is the FBI's Cyber Division Section Chief Michael Harrington. Did you catch Hunter's note at the bottom? "Only contact if absolutely necessary." By his own admission, Biden lost not one but three laptops during his various crack binges, so I'm guessing that "absolutely necessary" might have come more often than anyone would have guessed.

Biden's Mental Decay. The President of the sole global superpower is confounded by a teleprompter. The Commander in Chief of the most powerful military in the world, with 700+ military spanning the globe and nearly 4,000 nuclear warheads, can barely make it through public appearances. [...] Apparently he goes nowhere without the paper crutch prepared by his handlers. Issues relating to Russia — from the war in Ukraine to the expansion of NATO, etc. — are certainly briefed to the President on a daily basis. And his memory is so bad, his intellect is so defeated, that he cannot recall his constant briefing. If you need further proof of his mental state, there's this "cheat sheet," where he is instructed on how and when to enter the room and leave the room. [...] Make no mistake, Biden's senility is one of the biggest stories in the world. The media's silence on this matter is telling. Never before has the press tried to so hard to ignore so big a story (I venture this is bigger than Hunter's laptop), as they're afraid of what a correct assessment of Biden's facilities might reveal.

Amid Hunter's ongoing scandals, Biden is going soft on China. It took a certain bloodless chutzpah for the president to place his scandal-ridden son front and center at a White House function last week. Hunter Biden, 52, popped up at Thursday's Medal of Freedom ceremony, to glad-hand and network from his front-row perch even as he awaits indictment by a grand jury in Delaware over his shady foreign business dealings, most lucratively in China. Just one day earlier, FBI Director Christopher Wray and his British MI5 counterpart made a rare joint public appearance in London to sound the alarm over the growing "serious security and economic threat" posed by China, which aims to steal our intellectual property and corrupt our politics.

White House Goes Weapons Hot on the Democrat Base as Divisions Explode Into the Open. For my money, the Biden administration has been the most incoherent and disjointed of the modern era, and that qualifier is only included due to a lack of recorded detail prior. Press consternation over the "chaos" inside the former Trump administration seems laughably quaint now, as the current White House sets records for staff turnover. No one seems to know what's going on, and that includes the president himself. Every public appearance just accentuates the dysfunction.

13 Times Joe Biden Was Involved in Family Business Corruption. President Joe Biden was involved in his corrupt family business at least 13 times over nine years. While Joe Biden and his staff have claimed seven times the president has had no part in the family business, overwhelming evidence suggests Joe Biden has not just been involved in the family business but has played a key role with his son Hunter and brother James. The evidence includes photos of Joe Biden meeting family business partners, Hunter's former business partner's testimony about Joe Biden's involvement, Joe Biden flying to foreign countries to meet with Hunter's business partners, and a voice recording of Joe Biden calling Hunter about a Chinese business deal.

Shock As 4chan Allegedly Cracks Hunter Biden's iCloud Account And Leaks Everything. Rumours circulating on social media on Sunday, July 10 suggest that 4chan, an anonymous English-language imageboard website, has apparently cracked Hunter Biden's iPhone backup password and has begun leaking everything on the site.

4Chan Users Claim to Have Cracked Backup of Hunter Biden's iPhone and Are Leaking Info. 4Chan users claim to have cracked the password for a backup of Hunter Biden's iPhone and then were also able to access an iPad that he used. They also claim to have accessed iCloud notes. The password was alleged to be a woman's name with an age after it. They announced that they had 450 gigabytes of data and then began leaking some of the information onto 4Chan.

An Intriguing Exchange Between Jill and Joe Biden. Over the time that Joe Biden has been in office, we've seen him continue to deteriorate, until now, he can barely get through remarks on abortion without descending into incoherence and a "Ron Burgundy" moment. They've even had to give him note cards with step-by-step instructions on how to handle a brief meeting. The cards read like instructions for a five-year-old. His chief handler, most of the time, seems to be his wife, Jill. She's pulled him away from reporters in the past, no doubt to prevent him from gaffing. We saw, on July 4th, how Jill tried to prompt Joe Biden to say 'God Bless America" at the end of his remarks, but Joe just was unable to grasp what she was trying to get him to do.

The Look On Kamala's Face Says It All. With Vice President Kamala Harris and Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra standing behind him, President Joe Biden stumbled and bumbled his way through remarks before signing an executive order on abortion on Friday. The occasional Biden gaffe has given way to at least one gaffe during every public appearance. His last performance was marked by several.

Biden Declared Illegitimate in Langland County. Republicans in Langland County, WI, passed a resolution that declares Joe Biden an illegitimately elected president based on solid evidence that suggests rampant voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential election. [...] In an effort to bring awareness and justice to widespread election fraud, Langland County Republicans joined Maricopa County in AZ and the Texas GOP in rejecting the results of the 2020 Presidential Election, which claims Biden won by a landslide 81 million votes. And we all know this is ridiculous for a man who campaigned from his basement.

Biden to sign executive action on abortion access to circumvent court. President Joe Biden is expected to announce that he will sign an executive order on abortion Friday in an attempt to circumvent the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade after getting intense pressure from Democrats who are demanding he "do something." Three sources have reportedly told the Associated Press that Biden will speak "on protecting access to reproductive health care services." The president will allegedly outline actions he intends to take to prevent women seeking an abortion from being slapped with penalties following the SCOTUS ruling. Rumored actions involve military bases, the use of federal lands, and the mailing of abortion pills nationwide. It's anticipated that Biden will instruct the Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services to hamper state efforts to limit a woman's ability to cross state lines in order to terminate a pregnancy or to receive abortion medication.

Biden Will Sign Meaningless Executive Orders on Abortion After Massive Pressure by Democrats. Joe Biden wants and needs to satisfy his rabid, ravenous base of pro-abortion fanatics by expanding access to the procedure and allowing more women to kill their unborn babies. Unfortunately for him, there's a little thing called the Constitution of the United States that's standing in his way. Try explaining that to the faces contorted with rage marching in the streets demanding Biden do something about abortion. The entire radical left of the Democratic Party has become unhinged. They have suggested all kinds of ludicrous alternatives, like building abortion clinics on federal lands or allowing a "carveout" for the filibuster to force a vote on making abortion legal nationwide.

Hunter Biden tied to Chinese company that bought oil Joe released. There really seems to be no limit to the convolutions that develop when the Biden family works on its international business schemes. Probably one of the most famous was when Joe Biden was vice president and traveled to Ukraine for Barack Obama. At that time Hunter Biden was taking in tens of thousands of dollars a month from a Ukrainian company under investigation for corruption. Joe came to the rescue, ordering officials there to fire the prosecutor, threatening to withhold $1 billion in scheduled U.S. aid if they didn't. They did. And he came home to brag about it.

Top Oversight Republican in Congress Demands Testimony, Documents from Biden Officials on Oil Reserve Sale to Hunter-Linked Chinese Firm. House Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer (R-KY) told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement that when Republicans take control of the House, they plan on investigating reports that President Joe Biden sold nearly one million barrels from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to a Chinese state-owned gas company that has financial ties to a private equity firm cofounded by Hunter Biden. The Washington Free Beacon's Collin Anderson released a bombshell report that Biden's Department of Energy sold one million barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of Sinopec. Sinopec is wholly owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party.

Report: Joe Biden Sold Nearly One Million Barrels from U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to CCP-Owned Oil Company Linked to Hunter Biden Firm. President Joe Biden's administration sold 950,000 barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese state-owned gas company that has financial ties to a private equity firm cofounded by Hunter Biden, according to a Washington Free Beacon report. In April, Biden's Department of Energy announced the nearly one million barrel sale to Unipec, which is the trading arm of Sinopec. Sinopec is wholly owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party. Unipec reportedly purchases oil across the globe and then apparently sells it through its Sinopec Marketing subsidiary.

Treasury Dept. blocking probe into Hunter Biden's business dealings, says top GOP lawmaker. The Treasury Department has been accused of stonewalling lawmakers' requests into the business dealings of President Biden's son Hunter Biden. Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the top Republican on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, said Treasury officials refused to hand over suspicious activity reports, or SARs, unless the committee's Democratic leaders signed off on the request. "Despite Treasury's assertion in the press that it 'provides SARs to Congress in a manner that enables robust oversight,' Treasury is refusing to release SARs connected with Hunter Biden or his family and associates — including the President," Mr. Comer wrote in a letter Wednesday to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

Two more reasons to be mad at Joe Biden. [#1] Biden is selling our petroleum reserves to China. Biden is selling off 180 million barrels (one third of the total) from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The stated goal: softening the pain on American citizens from higher gas prices. Releasing the oil should have reduced the price at the pump. Why isn't that happening? Because the oil being released is going to Europe, India, and China. "The Biden administration is selling off our emergency oil reserves to China," said Tucker Carlson on Fox's Tucker Carlson Tonight. "An impeachable offense. Selling off our most valuable asset to a government whose goal is to crush us." The irony, Carlson points out, is that there is no reason to sell the reserves "when we can produce the energy here." Biden could end inflation and fix the entire economy TODAY. Hidden a thousand feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world — more than 2 trillion barrels. This is more than all the other proven reserves of crude oil on Earth. Why are we not extracting this? Because Biden, the Democrats, and environmentalists have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil.

Biden Faces Open Rebellion From His Own Party. The Democrats are fully aware that the lay of the land is not in their favor come November. They are now willing (some of them on the record) to blast the Biden administration as inefficient, rudderless, etc., and in dire need of some energy at the very least. And they are absolutely correct on that note, by the way. Biden gives public statements and just sounds like a tired old man. His statements, as well as those from his administration officials, are a mix of blame-shifting or claims of ignorance. They aren't addressing any of the issues facing Americans, and they are losing not just independent voters, but large swaths of their base to the Republican Party. But that isn't even the biggest reason why the Democrats are mad. You can expect shifts in voter allegiance in midterm elections. It's a historic trend. No, the biggest reason so many Democrats are mad right now is Biden's inability to even keep his own base energized. They lost on abortion as a constitutional right, they lost on gun control, and they lost on environmental activism from the bureaucracy. They know that their most active base voters are going to be depressed to the point that they just stay home in November and there is nothing they can do about it.

Four Photos Appear To Show "Sad-Looking" Joe Suffering Elder Abuse By Jill. [W]e're living in a time when the seemingly pervasive mainstream media keeps insisting that what we can plainly see with our eyes and hear with our ears isn't really happening. We knew during the 2020 presidential campaign that Joe Biden was in decline. It was difficult to get a bead on exactly how mushy his brain had gotten for a couple of reasons. The first is that even at the peak of his mental acuity when he was younger, Joe Biden was far from being the sharpest tool in the shed. The second is that the pandemic gave his handlers and his nakedly ambitious wife an opportunity to hide him in his basement for most of the campaign.

Dem Lawmakers Are Blowing the Whistle on Biden: 'Rudderless, Aimless, Hopeless'. Democrats are in a desperate state, knowing they're about to get wiped out in November and they're looking to cast blame. Many, including more than two dozen lawmakers and political operatives, are talking and blowing the whistle on how bad they think Joe Biden is. They don't feel that Biden is doing enough to reflect their anger and concerns about things; they want strength and action. But they're not seeing it.

Democrats — and the media — are giving up on Biden. "The giant sucking sound you're hearing is the panicked divestment of elected Democratic politicians, progressive activists, and the mainstream media from the Biden administration," Michael Brendan Dougherty wrote today. "The word is definitely out that the president's stock is going to zero — and it's time to get out while you still can." I agree, and so should you if you've been reading the site over the past 48 hours as political media is suddenly awash in stories about liberal apparatchiks furious with Biden for not showing more "urgency" in addressing the many crises bedeviling the left and the country more broadly.

Biden falsely claims GOP is blocking 'efforts to lower your gas taxes'. President Biden took aim at the opposing party Wednesday by falsely claiming that Republicans — rather than members of his own party — are preventing Congress from implementing his proposed federal gas tax holiday to blunt fuel costs. "All Republicans do nothing [and] obstruct our efforts to lower your gas taxes," Mr. Biden said in Cleveland, Ohio, during remarks about the economy and employer pension plans. "I proposed that, and I've asked the Congress to eliminate the federal gas tax for as long as this crisis goes on." Last month, the president called on Congress to temporarily suspend the 18.4-cent-per-gallon federal tax that drivers pay at the pump for regular fuel and the 24-cent-per-gallon tax on diesel for three months.

Those US Oil Reserves Joe Biden's Tapping to Lower Our Gas Prices Are Going Overseas. The nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve was created in 1975 after the Arab oil embargo caused fear and angry gas-station lines across the country. The underground reservoirs, believed to be the world's largest, were intended as an emergency oil-savings account for an actual energy crisis threatening national security. The SPR was not intended for a political crisis when Joe Biden's Democrats face midterm election annihilation over inflation and outrageous gasoline prices above $6 a gallon caused by the same president's ideological war on fossil fuels. Biden's announced "plan," which drew considerable criticism, is to draw down a million barrels a day for 180 days from the country's Strategic Petroleum Reserve stored in vast underground salt caverns in Texas and Louisiana. [...] But it turns out, contrary to what you might have thought and hoped with all the Biden administration hype about easing gas prices for his countrymen, the consumers who will directly benefit from using up American reserves are not Americans.

Joe Biden Ships U.S. Oil Reserves to Foreign Countries. Because he hates Americans, President Joe Biden is shipping much-needed American oil to foreign countries, including... China. The whole idea of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), which is owned by the U.S. government, specifically the U.S. Department of Energy, is to hold on to about 700 million barrels of oil in the event of an emergency or disruption. But now, because His Fraudulency Joe Biden has closed pipelines, killed oil and gas leases, refused to allow refining to expand, and has gone to war with affordable energy; the SPR is releasing about a million gallons a day into the U.S. economy. Instead of doing something permanent and useful; instead of solving the crisis he created (that put a gallon of gas over five dollars), he's looking to steady ~~gas prices~~ his collapsing poll numbers by squandering our reserves. [...] Why would Biden do something like this? Why would Biden okay this when 1) this oil is about protecting America's national security, and 2) this oil can help bring down American gas prices?

Who benefits? Your first guess should be China!
Joe Biden has allowed five million barrels of oil from US national supply to be shipped abroad. Joe Biden has shipped five million barrels from the United States' Strategic Oil Reserve abroad, after claiming that releasing them would help ease Americans' pain at the pumps. The president faces accusations of a sneaky sleight of hand as it was revealed that between a fifth and a sixth of the reserve oil he bragged about releasing to boost supply made its way offshore to Europe and Asia in June. Biden authorized the release of a million barrels a day from April onwards. But his action has done little to combat soaring gas prices, with the national average sitting at $4.74 as of Tuesday — still far above the $2.28-a-gallon average from just before he took office.

Biden releases U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves ... to China. [Scroll down] The American Energy Alliance points out that it's actually worse than it looks — China isn't even using the oil — it's stockpiling it for its own strategic petroleum reserves, meaning, the U.S. oil taken off the market is not helping to lower the price of crude even on a worldwide basis. [...] Our SPR energy is being drained by the Chicoms to fill their SPR, and the group notes that China is hoping to clean up on expanding refinery capacity, too, as Biden stymies America's. China, unlike Biden, always plans ahead. The whole disaster is Biden-made and all we are getting out of it is the same high fuel prices, a lost stockpile of energy intended for emergencies, and the beefing up of the reserves of our competitors and enemies. This is incompetence in the extreme.

The Editor says...
Yes, it could be "incompetence in the extreme," or it could be corruption in the extreme.

Now That Fake Media Want Biden Gone in 2024, They Protest Press Restrictions. For the past 18 months His Fraudulency Joe Biden has been in office, the corporate media have said nothing about Biden using the China Flu to restrict access to big press avails. Worse still, for 18 months, Biden has almost always called on "reporters" based on a pre-screening process from his staff. He uses an actual list from his staff, something I have never seen before. [...] Nevertheless, for 18 months, the fake media rolled over like the good, little lapdogs they are and took it. Until now. [...] Put another way; the corporate media want Joe Biden out. They want to force him out. They want another Democrat at the top of the 2024 ticket, someone who has a chance at holding on to the White House. That's all that's going on with this protest. This is just more left-wing activism from a left-wing media that was more than happy to roll over like dogs when rolling over aided The Cause.

The LGBT Hostile Work Environment. On May 31, 2022, President Biden delivered to the American people "A Proclamation on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, And Intersex Pride Month 2022." A presidential proclamation is a directive that grants to the chief executive of the United States certain powers of mandatory ceremony and observance. The power of presidential proclamations is especially operative in enforcing mandatory observances in the federal military and civilian workplaces, as those are the domains over which the president holds direct constitutional authority. [...] Biden rages: "An onslaught of dangerous anti-LGBTQI+ legislation has been introduced and passed in States across the country, targeting transgender children and their parents, and interfering with their access to health care. The unconscionable attacks have left countless LGBTQI+ families in fear and pain." The unconscionable attackers whom Biden's proclamation vilifies are otherwise known as the American people. He is outraged at the diversity of viewpoint about the needs of children, and he attacks the American people in the strongest terms for resisting sexuality indoctrination of children.

Biden Plan to Cap Russian Oil Prices Could Seriously Backfire, Which Means It's Likely to Happen. The G7 plan to create another economic sanction against Russia by capping the price anyone could pay for Russian oil has a serious downside. If Russia slows down the export of oil, global oil prices will jump dramatically. That policy outcome would mean a massive increase in the price of gasoline for U.S. consumers. Because the consequences are horrible, that's precisely the reason Joe Biden might push to have the Russian price cap. Every policy Joe Biden has historically supported, has been the exact opposite of what should have been done.

Joe Says No: Biden White House Blocks New Atlantic, Pacific Oceans Drilling as Global Energy Demand Soars. U.S. President Joe Biden has proposed blocking all new drilling in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans as the world cries out for more energy from more sources far from Russia, the Middle East, and the OPEC oil cartel. Biden is also moving to shut down exploration and production of oil and gas on onshore federal lands while acknowledging the importance of fossil fuels in the U.S. energy landscape, as Breitbart News reported.

Biden: 'I Don't Count Drunk Driving as a Felony' for Illegal Immigrants. A recently rediscovered video shows Joe Biden as a 2020 presidential candidate inexplicably declaring, "I don't count drunk driving as a felony," to the astonishment of his stunned interviewers. To put his statement in context, Biden's baffling declaration of the insignificance of DUI for illegal immigrants came during a VICE news town hall on minority issues. He was asked about his stance on illegal immigration and deportation of immigrants who have been convicted or charged with felony law-breaking while in the United States. The Democratic candidate promised listeners that if he was elected to the White House in 2020, he would waste no time issuing an executive order (EO) that would prohibit U.S. Immigration and Customs (ICE) agents from deporting any illegal immigrant who had not committed a felony. In essence, Biden said he would decide the seriousness of a crime, not law enforcement.

Pincer Movement to Dump Biden Taking Shape. It's pretty clear that the left is organizing to dump Joe Biden when it becomes evident that he's a certain loser in 2024. Rather that waiting for a Ted Kennedy-like figure to challenge him in the 2024 primaries, which would likely doom Democrats to certain defeat, the left will need to push him out early, and clear the calendar for one or more Democrats to organize a serious presidential campaign. (It goes without saying the Democratic Party intelligentsia knows that Kamala Harris is a hopeless candidate.) There really isn't a towering Ted Kennedy-like figure in the Democratic Party today.

Joe Biden has a new scapegoat: Your local gas station. President Joe Biden is proving that patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels. Recall that over the last couple of months, Biden has been desperately trying to explain away the high cost of gasoline. When people didn't buy Democrats' scapegoating of oil companies, he claimed it was Vladimir Putin's fault. Never mind how far gas prices had risen before Putin invaded Ukraine. But people were not fooled, and so last week, Biden began appealing to our sense of patriotism. The new message was that when you pay $7 for gas, you are paying for the "liberal world order." Big surprise — even that message isn't getting the desired results. So this weekend, Biden's team has found a new scapegoat: your local gas station.

Yes, You CAN Blame Biden For High Energy Prices. [O]n May 12, Biden's Interior Department blocked a proposal to open up more than one million acres of land in Alaska for oil and gas drilling. Two days later, Biden's Environmental Protection Agency blocked plans to expand an oil refinery in the US Virgin Islands. Biden and his defenders said he had to block the expansion of the Virgin Islands refinery, given how polluting it was. But had Biden's EPA allowed the Virgin Island refinery to expand, the owners would have poured nearly $3 billion into retrofitting the plant so it produced gasoline and other products more cleanly, while significantly increasing production at the same time. Furthermore, anybody who cares about air pollution and climate change should want more oil and gas drilling, not less. US emissions declined 22% between 2005 and 2020, mostly because cheap natural gas has replaced coal.

Biden Is Going Green, Even if It Kills Us. Hubris can get us all killed. The Biden administration's determination to make its climate agenda a central factor in U.S. foreign policy could be the greatest threat to human survival in our times. This leap into the climate-change rabbit hole has distracted the White House from the old-fashioned — but painfully present — task of making sure Americans are not devastated by a major war. By stirring partisan politics and dubious science into their recipe for national security, this administration risks getting the single most important responsibility of the federal government horribly wrong. For starters, their climate agenda lacks legitimacy. Declaring that it is validated by "settled" science neither settles the science nor validates their agenda.

David Axelrod Says the Really, Really Scary Part Out Loud. David Axelrod, the man who masterminded the winning presidential campaigns of Barack Obama, believes that no one is in charge in the White House. Discussing the filibuster "carve-out" for an abortion vote in the Senate that Biden has proposed, David Axelrod dismissed the idea, saying "I mean, this is the lot that Biden finds himself in. There is this sense that things are kind of out of control and he's not in command. And this lends to that." This from a Democrat? Axelrod isn't saying there's a "hidden hand" at work behind the throne. He's not claiming Obama or anyone else is actually running the show. His point is even scarier: no one is in command.

Hunter Biden's laptop had contacts for Google execs, US officials for China policy. Hunter Biden's hard drive contained an enviable lineup of contacts for top US officials tasked with overseeing the US-China relationship, and at least 10 senior Google executives — raising new questions about the extent to which Joe Biden's well-connected son could have leveraged his connections for personal profit, The [New York] Post has learned. Many of the top-level government officials would have been in position to help Hunter Biden's business aspirations in China during father's term as vice president from 2008 to 2016. Throughout that period, he infamously looked to capitalize from his family name and connections — often while his father conducted sensitive state business. As for the Google braintrust, one former exec there told The Post that Hunter Biden sought the tech giant's cash for Chinese ventures, and that several of the company's bigwigs wound up working for the Obama-Biden administration during his father's vice presidency.

Other than the Biden family, name an American who has any financial stake in Ukraine.
U.S. pledges $820M in new military aid to help Ukraine repel Russian invasion. The U.S. announced $820 million in new military aid to Ukraine to help it repel the Russian invasion, including a sophisticated Norwegian anti-aircraft system that is used to protect the White House and Capitol. The latest tranche of arms for Kyiv announced Friday includes sophisticated new surface-to-air missile systems and counter-artillery radar that the Pentagon hopes will limit Russia's ability to strike Ukrainian cities with long-range missiles.

Who's In Charge? People notice. Every time I speak to a conservative audience, I am asked who is really in charge in the White House. My answer has been that the president is in command. After all, institutions take on the character of their leaders. If all the White House has to offer is excuses, if decisions are made either slowly or randomly, if the communications team and the president and vice president seem to live on different planets, if incompetence and mismanagement appear throughout the government, it is because the chief executive allows it. No conspiracy is required to explain the ineptitude. This is Joe Biden we are talking about. Lately, though, I have been having second thoughts. Not that Barack Obama or Ron Klain or Dr. Jill are running the show in secret. What I have been wondering, instead, is whether anyone is leading the government at all.

Which Crisis Will Be The Next To Catch Biden 'Off Guard'? little over 500 days into his presidency, Joe Biden has an unblemished record — of being "caught off guard" by every major crisis that has engulfed the country since January 2021. The question now is, what's the next crisis that will catch Biden flat-footed and for which he will have no solutions? Search for "Biden caught off guard" and see for yourself how often this has made news over the past year and a half. To save you the effort, here are just a few examples:
• Even Biden caught off guard by his administration's foreign policy crises
• Coronavirus resurgence catches Biden off guard
• How the border problem caught the Biden team off guard
• Biden Caught Off Guard By Reporter's Question On The Baby Formula Crisis
• Joe Biden caught off guard by ruling to scrap facemasks
Biden was caught off guard by the Taliban's rush to victory in Afghanistan. Caught off guard by inflation. Caught off guard by the supply chain crisis. And remember, this is the guy who, we were told repeatedly, would surround himself with experienced pros.

White House press corps demands end to Biden event restrictions. Yesterday [6/30/2022], the New York Post reported that 68 journalists from the White House press corps sent a letter to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre urging the Biden administration to open press events to all journalists. [...] The 'selection process' mentioned in the letter became apparent in August 2021, the last time Biden held a solo presser. The exchange was held in the 3,000-square-foot White House East Room, yet Biden aides permitted only specific reporters to attend citing "spacing constraints." Individual reporters claim to have received an array of conflicting explanations about the selection criteria that left them baffled. White House press secretary Jean-Pierre claimed ignorance about the selection criteria during a briefing in June, and so did her predecessor Jen Psaki in October 2021. Since they are all struggling, the obvious deserves to be stated — only pliable reporters who are either willing to share questions in advance or perhaps ask questions that are written by the White House staff, are allowed in. Calling it a 'selection process' is a euphemism; what the Biden administration is doing is the blacklisting of outlets and reporters who intend to challenge Biden for his myriad catastrophes.

Joe Biden Attacks Reporters For Trying To Ask Him Questions — His Easter Bunny Comes To The Rescue Yet Again. Biden's handlers came up with a new way to deflect when Joe has one of his "cognitive spells," he simply fluffs it off with a self-deprecating joke, and the audience awkwardly laughs. The entire "Alzheimer's moment" is just laughed off, and brushed aside as if it's some normal, everyday occurrence. However when he needs to face reporters his handlers are doing everything they can to remove the reporters or to keep them quiet!

A Recipe for Biden Authoritarianism. [Scroll down] Biden on Saturday signed what some call the most significant gun control measure in decades, a bipartisan compromise that includes a provision to help states put in place red flag laws making it easier for authorities to confiscate weapons from those adjudged as dangerous. Despite the Supreme Court's ruling Friday upholding the Second Amendment, we know that the Biden administration will unfairly use anything and everything at its disposal to drive its narrative and silence political opponents. That's part of the reason the Department of Homeland Security's short-lived "disinformation" board received such deserved pushback from many Americans. Although DHS officially paused its Disinformation Governance Board, let's not be so naïve as to believe the board was the be-all, end-all of the Biden administration's thought control efforts.

Biden Is the Economy's Supply Chain Problem. Joe Biden has become America's "it's not my fault" president. Whether it's the inflation, the border, the crime, the gas prices, the Afghanistan exit fiasco or the stock market collapse, Biden has become an expert at pointing the finger at someone else. [...] Why is it just now that we are confronted with the goblins of supply chain disruptions? Biden says it is because we had the economy shut down, and then Trump left him with an economy in miserable shape. According to this narrative, Biden had to "build back better" and solve bottlenecks with cargo ships, airlines, warehouses and factories. But that's not even close to the truth. The economy soared out of the COVID shutdowns that had paralyzed the economy in early 2020. In the second half of 2020, the economy snapped back with a rapid rebound. These were the last six months of the Trump presidency. There were few shortages or delays (except when companies couldn't get workers back because of sky-high welfare and unemployment benefits). Prices were stable in the first six months of the COVID recovery. When Trump left office, inflation was 1.5%, even though the economy grew by about 20% in the six months before Biden left office. But then, when Biden took over, right from the get-go, here, there and everywhere "supply chain" problems emerged.

Joe Biden spoke with Hunter about his business dealings with a Chinese criminal. President Joe Biden spoke with Hunter about his business dealings with a Chinese criminal his son dubbed the 'spy chief of China,' a voicemail to his son reveals. The president has repeatedly denied personally and through his press secretary that he ever talked about Hunter's foreign business with his Hunter — despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Now, in a voicemail left on Hunter's iPhone, the evidence has come from POTUS' own mouth.

The Supreme Court Just Did Exactly What Joe Biden Voted for in 1982. One thing that Old Joe Biden wants to make sure you know about the Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson decision is that it's "extreme." In his statement on the decision, he calls it "extreme" seven times. This is in line with the Democrats' general strategy of portraying all opponents of their radical far-Left agenda as violent racist rednecks who pose an imminent threat to "our democracy," by which they mean "Leftist hegemony." But who is really extreme here? What the Supreme Court did Friday is exactly what Senator Joe Biden himself voted for in 1982: overturning Roe and leaving the authority to legalize or outlaw abortion with the states. So which side has really moved to the extreme?

Joe Biden's "Easter Bunny" Spotted At G7 Summit — Listen to The Panic In Her Voice When a Reporter Asks Biden a Question. Something is wrong with President Joe Biden, and everyone knows it. But it would at least be nice if the president knew what he was talking about. [...] However when he needs to face reporters his handlers are doing everything they can to remove the reporters or to keep them quiet! Their failed attempt to put a handler into an Easter bunny was a really stupid way to take Joe away from reporters! [...] Well, it seems that his "Easter Bunny" was in action again today at the G7 summit!

Joe Biden Sets His Sights on Little Girl as Soon as He Arrives in Germany. Joe Biden on Saturday traveled to Munich, Germany to meet with G7 leaders and NATO allies. Biden set his sights on a young girl as soon as he deplaned. Joe Biden raced down the steps after exiting Air Force One and chatted with a little girl in traditional dress. Biden asked the child her age — of course he did. He just can't help himself.

Video Surfaces Of Joe Biden Saying Abortion Is Not A Right, Should Be Limited. A video has surfaced of President Joe Biden in a 2006 interview explaining that he did not view abortion as "a right" after he strongly criticized the controversial Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In a Friday ruling, the Supreme Court in a 6 to 3 decision overturned nearly five decades of precedent and ended abortion rights in states across the country with its majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson. Biden and other leading Democrats condemned the ruling from the conservative justices, warning that it undermined women's freedom and health care. Later on Friday afternoon, the RNC Research Twitter account resurfaced a clip of Biden sharing a different view of abortion in 2006. The video came from a March 2006 interview with Texas Monthly. [Video clip]

Hunter Biden met with Russian oligarch now wanted for murder. When his father was the second most powerful man in the world, Hunter Biden met in Russia with at least four oligarchs closely aligned with Vladimir Putin — including one who is now wanted for murder in the country, The [New York] Post has learned. The meeting with Telman Ismailov took place on Feb. 17, 2012 at the Moscow headquarters of AST Group, his vast holding company which once owned a publishing house, a tour company, and had a telecom division, according to the Moscow Times. Ismailov was accused in 2017 by Russian authorities of paying $2 million for the murder of two entrepreneurs a year earlier, Agence France-Presse reported. Vladimir Savkin, a shopping mall magnate and Yury Brilev, founder of Lyublino Motors, were both bumped off on the Novorizhskoye highway in Moscow, allegedly over a business dispute with Ismailov, according to the Investigative Committee of Russia, the country's primary federal investigations agency.

Joe Biden Just Told Us Who He Really Is. [Scroll down] What the Biden administration has done, however, since the draft majority SCOTUS opinion leak in early May is to fan the flames of outrage by encouraging radical activists on the left to continue "protesting" outside the homes of the Justices. [...] Further, in the speech Biden gave earlier, he noted his administration was going to use every tool in their power to do an end-run around the SCOTUS ruling, something also confirmed by DOJ Attorney General Merrick Garland. As all of this sinks in, keep in mind that Biden and other Democrats (and their allies in the mainstream press) have been lecturing Republicans for the last year and a half since the Capitol riot about the need to "respect the courts" and to not "undermine democratic norms" in our society. And yet what do they do in response to today's 6-3 decision? Exactly what they've said their political opponents shouldn't — this from the same people who once gloated after the Supreme Court voted to uphold Obamacare that it was "settled law" so "deal with it."

White House Press Secretary Won't Say Whether They'll Respect SCOTUS Decision Overturning Roe as 'Legitimate'. Although the U.S. Supreme Court handed down many noteworthy cases on Thursday, including one further protecting the Second Amendment, it still has yet to hand down Dobbs v. Jackson. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was still asked about it during the day's briefing, though, in preparation for when the decision does come down. A reporter had asked "just to be clear, will the president accept this decision as legitimate even if he disagrees with it," speaking about about Dobbs overturning Roe v Wade. [Video clip] As one can see from Jean-Pierre's response, though, she didn't provide any clarity at all. "It's going to come from the Supreme Court, so it's going to be a decision that, uh, we're certainly going to respond to, so I'll leave it at that."

Kamala Harris Needs To Spend Some Time At Toastmasters. [Scroll down] Certainly, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the two leaders of the Free World, should be able to speak coherently in public. Some observers give Joe Biden a pass on his frequent ludicrous ramblings believing that he suffers from dementia or another mental acuity issue. Others wonder if Doctor Jill Biden ignores Joe's obvious mental issues because being First Nurse (aka First Lady) is more important than protecting her husband's dignity. Of course, this ignores the fact that the frail and mentally challenged Biden sits in the Oval Office with his finger on the nuclear button.

'YOU take YOUR seat': Very specific cheat sheet reminds Biden how to act. President Biden on Thursday inadvertently held up a comically detailed cheat sheet prepared by his staff instructing the gaffe-prone leader of the free world to "take YOUR seat" and to limit his remarks to "2 minutes." A photographer snapped an image of the document when Biden held it up backward at a meeting with wind industry executives, which he attended after skipping his administration's morning meeting with oil companies about combating record gas prices. The prepared instructions for Biden — titled "Offshore Wind Drop-By Sequence of Events" — tell Biden to "enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants." Then, the paper says, "YOU take YOUR seat." The typed-up note says that after reporters arrive, "YOU give brief comments (2 minutes)."

Why the Left Will Cut Biden Loose. Republican pundits and conservative activists are debating whether they can win in 2024 with the successful Trump agenda, but without the controversial former President Donald Trump as their nominee. The Democrats have a similar, but far more serious dilemma with President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party's nominee in 2024. Unlike the Trump Administration's successful four years, Biden's tenure has been an utter disaster. There are no policy offsets to the personal liabilities and unpopularity of Biden himself. Biden's liabilities transcend his physical infirmities, his advanced age, and his seeming geometric rather than arithmetic rate of mental decline. Biden, moreover, proves daily that he is not a nice guy. His excesses, past and present, are precisely those the Left considers mortal sins.

And the babies to go with it.
Biden Admin will Import Baby Formula from Mexico. Did you ever think you'd live to see American parents relying on Mexico for their baby's survival? Back in May The Gateway Pundit reported that American parents were traveling to Tijuana to purchase baby formula. The out-of-stock rate hit 70% in May nearly double the rate from April. The country is still facing shortages of the critical food product.

Operation Fly Formula flops as White House intervention fails to fill store shelves. A month after President Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to import emergency supplies of infant formula, store shelves are still half empty and brands shipped on U.S. military planes from other countries are not yet helping many families struggling to find critical specialty brands. The U.S. government began importing infant formula from Switzerland, the United Kingdom and elsewhere one month ago. It launched Operation Fly Formula to address a shortage that was triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, a major formula recall and a decision by the FDA to shutter one of the nation's top formula-producing plants for several months citing health violations. Despite government intervention, many families with infants are still desperately searching for their next formula can. They have had to rely on social media groups to learn when store shelves are restocked or to buy from people who are selling or trading a can or two.

Biden Confidant: Start Firing People or Pack Your Bags. One of President Joe Biden's closest friends and staunchest supporters has a simple message: Big changes need to happen at the White House or Democrats will want a different nominee in 2024. For South Carolina Democratic state senator and longtime Biden adviser Dick Harpootlian, voters are awaiting any evidence that the president is making a meaningful effort to turn the economy around. An easy first step? A staffing overhaul. "If I had any advice to Joe Biden, it would be to fire someone," Harpootlian told the Washington Free Beacon in a wide-ranging interview. "The people who are supposed to be serving you are not serving you. I'm not saying they're malicious, I'm not saying they're lazy — I'm just saying whatever they're doing, it's not working."

Biden Is Doomed and Has Nowhere to Run. Yesterday's Rasmussen survey of likely voters finds that 57% consider Joe Biden's performance on the economy to be "poor." That strikes me as a death knell: there is no way a president viewed in such a negative light on the economy can be re-elected. No matter how unappetizing their alternatives — Kamala Harris? Pete Buttigieg? — the Democrats have no choice but to put Biden out to pasture and find someone else for 2024. The voters' antipathy toward Biden is driven in large part by the fact that 52% say he is mostly responsible for sky-high fuel prices. The majority is right, but the real problem for Democrats is that there isn't much they can do (or are willing to do) to get out from under the fuel price fiasco. In truth, various Democrats have admitted off and on for some years that their policies are intended to raise the price of energy, which they see as a good thing.

Biden Says White House Needs More Money for Next Pandemic. Earlier today, touting vaccines for babies and children 6months through 5 years of age, Joe Biden explained they needed more taxpayer money to give to pharmaceutical lobbyists to pay for vaccines and organize the next pandemic. [Video clip]

Biden Celebrates His Green Policies that Will "Take Millions of Cars Off the Road". Joe Biden on Wednesday delivered remarks on soaring gas prices from his fake White House set in the South Court Auditorium. Biden repeated the same lies in his speech and blamed Vladimir Putin for high gas prices. "Let's remember how we got here: Putin invaded Ukraine," said Biden. This is a lie. Gas prices spiked before Putin invaded Ukraine.

Joe Biden's New Best Friends. It's hard to say there is anything really new about Joe Biden's friendship with a growing list of despots such as Iran's Khamenei, Venezuela's Maduro, Saudi Arabia's Mohammed bin Salman, China's Xi, and Russia's Putin. All those oil potentates must have celebrated their good luck on day one of his administration when Biden signaled his obeisance to the reactionary (yes, that's what they are in real-world terms) green crowd by putting the kibosh on the Keystone XL pipeline. (Oil importer Xi had his own reasons to celebrate.) It's been all downhill for homegrown U.S. energy from there. But, in the case of Iran, at least this behavior was nothing new. The mullahs have known that the Democrats were secretly on their side — desperate to make almost any nuclear deal — for over a decade. That's when Obama didn't respond — at least at first and then very weakly — to the democracy demonstrators in the streets of Tehran who cried out in the night, "Obama, Obama, are you with us or are you with them?"

Biden Admin Quietly Nukes Trump-Era 'Transparency' Initiative Tracking Settlements And Payouts To Left-Wing Activists. President Joe Biden's Department of the Interior (DOI) has quietly rolled back a Trump-era "transparency and accountability" order creating a public litigation website so people can track details pertaining to lawsuits from outside interest groups that Republicans argue cost taxpayers unwieldy sums. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland revoked the order, which was issued in September 2018, on Friday. The order made details concerning settlements and consent decrees, as well as cash amounts paid to lawyers of private entities, accessible online. The website was scrubbed following the Biden revocation order and sought to "alleviate" any concerns by the public that it may not have a voice in "policymaking." It made the Office of the Solicitor and the Office of the Chief Information Officer "post" a "searchable list" of final decrees and settlements "that continue to govern departmental actions," according to the Trump order.

Five Reasons to Impeach Joe Biden. [#1] Biden's corrupt activities constitute treason. Evidence exists that during Joe Biden's tenure as vice president, access to his office was sold by Biden's son Hunter to China, Russia, Ukraine, and others willing to cough up huge sums of money. American foreign policy was impacted by those transactions. Biden himself bragged openly that he stopped Ukraine from investigating Hunter in return for a billion dollars in U.S. aid. Where is the evidence of Biden's corruption? First there is the New York Post article that broke the story. Then there is Peter Schweizer's well-researched book, Secret Empires, that traces the Biden Crime Family's complicity with the corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Next, we have the incriminating emails from Hunter Biden's laptop. Let's not forget the video where Biden brags about extorting favors from Ukraine. And finally, there is the testimony of former Biden business partner, Tony Bobulinski. Bobulinski's testimony refuted Joe Biden's denial that he was aware of Hunter's slimy business ventures. Joe knew about his son's dealings, participated in them, profited from them, and lied to the American people about it.

Biden Lets Cat out of the Bag About the 'Second Pandemic'. Joe Biden seems to be saying the quiet part out loud a lot lately, raising a lot of questions. He made a telling comment the other day about who is making up his mind when he was asked about China tariffs. He replied, "We are in the process of making up my mind." He implied he was waiting for the go-ahead from someone else, saying he was "prepared to sign it and I'm ready to go." That of course raised questions about who is controlling him and who's making the decision there. Then when he was pressed on gas prices his response was this was good because "we have a chance here to make a fundamental turn toward renewable energy, electric vehicles, and not just luxury vehicles, but across the board." So if you suffer, just remember it's for the common good of Our Dear Leader's climate goals. I don't know what he's on lately but he let more out of the bag today — and the way that he said it added to the creepiness of it all.

Biden Denies Likelihood of Recession Hours After Talking to Larry Summers who Warned Him Recession is Certain. Joe Biden gave an impromptu interview with media at the beach in Delaware early this morning. There is a lot going on in the video of the interview below. First, Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden (jean shorts and green shirt), is obviously on alert and assigned to the role of Joe's handler during this outing. [...] Secondly, if you have watched the video, you will notice Joe Biden said he talked to Larry Summers this morning. Yesterday on Meet the Press, Summers stated a recession was a certainty given the status of the economic conditions. However, creepy Joe says today he doesn't believe a recession is likely. [Video clip]

Buyer remorse growing in Democrat ranks. Last week, I lunched with a longtime friend, in a popular Orange County, Florida restaurant. He is a 68-year-old professed JFK Democrat who had predicted a return to 1990's moderation at the time of Joe Biden's election. The optimism of 18 months ago had disappeared. "Yes, things are looking a bit grim," he admitted. "My son is trying to find a new home for his growing family. But there are none to be found in Fort Lauderdale, or anyplace close to his office in Broward County. When I recommended Weston, he said, 'come on, Dad! have you seen the gas prices recently?' He has a point."

Joe Biden Admits 'We're In the Process of Making up My Mind' on China Tariffs. President Joe Biden was asked about the issue of tariffs on China during his calamitous bike trip on Saturday. This is when he gave a soundbite that has to be seen to be believed: [Video clip] [...] The president's response to the reporter's question is a glaring admission that he is not the one in charge. It reveals that Biden is merely signing whatever his administration puts on his desk. The Biden administration is reviewing the removal of some Chinese tariffs and a potential pause on federal gas tax as a way to bring down soaring gasoline prices and curb inflation, two top officials said on Sunday. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that some tariffs on China inherited from the administration of former President Trump served "no strategic purpose" and added that Biden may remove them as a way to tame rampant inflation.

The Mysteries of Hunter Biden's Laptop. The whole world knows that Old Joe Biden is not really the man in charge. Biden himself has made this clear on numerous occasions, with his many oblique references to getting in trouble if he deviated from the instructions he was given. But it has never been fully clear who is running this dumpster fire known as the Biden administration; speculation has run to chief of staff Ron Klain, Barack Obama, and others. Now, however, another name must be added to the mix: that of none other than Hunter Biden. [...] Is Hunter Biden calling the shots in the White House? Someone is. Joe Biden has many times intimated that he is not the one who is doing so and that he knows this. [Examples omitted for brevity.] There is also evidence, provided by Joe Biden himself, that his press conferences are scripted and carefully directed. On June 19, 2021, he said, "I'll take your questions, and as usual, folks, they gave me a list of the people I'm going to call on." Who gave him the list? No one asked. He has referred to his list of reporters on other occasions as well; apparently, he knows what questions he is going to be asked, and has prepared answers ready.

Biden and Oil: Destroy America in Order to Save It. Try to follow the Joe Biden energy plan of frantically trying to get his hands on more of something that his own party despises. During the Democratic primaries, Biden ran on the premise that he would end all fossil fuels during his tenure. In 2019-2020 that bluster seemed easy demagoguery at a time of near-record low gas and diesel prices. The American people shrugged at such utopianism since they often were filling up their cars for less than $50. Biden's video clips from the primary campaign now seem surreal, as he tried to out-green Bernie Sanders in boasting about what has now become his own self-created energy disaster. Biden monotonously promised at rallies, such as they were, that he would cancel pipelines, stop new federal leasing to oil and gas companies, persuade lenders to restrict loans to them, put the Alaska National Wildlife Reserve off limits, and embrace the green new deal. Those were certainly campaign boasts that he has followed up on.

The O'Keefe Project: Tucker goes to town. We have covered the FBI's investigation of the case of Ashley Biden's diary in a series of 17 posts under the heading of "The O'Keefe Project." This is the eighteenth. I don't think anyone has devoted as much attention to the story as we have. The collaboration of the FBI with the New York Times attracted my interest, but my judgment is that every aspect of the story merits attention. Something's happening here. Tucker Carlson opened his FOX News show on Friday evening [6/17/2022] with an 18-minute segment on Ashley Biden's diary. [...] If Biden were a Republican, the diary would have been authenticated and we would have been tortured with the contents in loving detail before voters went to the polls in 2020. As it turns out, the FBI investigation and the Times's coverage have inadvertently authenticated the diary after the fact.

Note: All material below was once located on an overflow page, but has now been rejoined with the main page.

Joe Biden has nothing to offer. Of the many crises America faces, the most serious one sits in the Oval Office. We have a president who doesn't even pretend to be working night and day to beat back inflation, save the economy from a recession or tackle rampant crime and growing political violence. He looks to be on automatic pilot when the nation desperately needs strong leadership.

Tucker Carlson Exposes Ashley Biden's Diary and the President's Politicization of the FBI. On Friday evening, Tucker Carlson brought up an issue most other conservative outlets and commentators won't touch. Namely, the fact that Joe Biden is accused of some extremely disturbing things in a diary written by his daughter. The saga broke into the open last November, after the FBI raided the homes of Project Veritas journalists, including James O'Keefe, looking for information regarding the diary. Accusations that it was stolen were made, but as Harmeet Dhillon explained on Carlson's show, that's not only false but completely irrelevant. [...] Imagine that Ivanka Trump had written a diary entry accusing Donald Trump of what seems awfully close to molestation. Don't you think reporters might be asking questions about that? Don't you think there'd be further investigations into the matter to see if the claims are true and how far the inappropriate behavior went? Yet, the media, including the hard news side of Fox News, has completely blacked out the story, pretending the revelations never happened.

DOJ Blocks GOP Effort To Get Answers In Hunter Biden Probe. What is the DOJ hiding? GOP Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson sent a letter to U.S. Attorney David Weiss regarding the probe into Hunter Biden. They wanted to know if Nicholas McQuaid, the acting assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's Criminal Division had recused himself from the investigation into Hunter Biden. McQuaid formerly worked with Hunter Biden's lawyer Chris Clark.

GOP Effort to Get Answers on Hunter Biden Probe Blocked by DOJ. The Justice Department appears to have stymied efforts by two GOP senators to get answers about the Hunter Biden tax probe from the U.S. attorney's office in Delaware, according to the Washington Examiner. Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, had sent a letter in May to U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is handling the investigation involving the president's son. In their letter, the two senators pressed Weiss to divulge if a senior Department of Justice [DOJ] official with links to Hunter Biden recused himself from the tax investigation.

Biden, 79, falls off his bike during ride near his Rehoboth Beach home. President Joe Biden fell off his bike during ride near his Rehoboth Beach home in Delaware Saturday morning, where he and his wife are celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary weekend. 'I'm good,' the president told the press who saw him take the tumble, which transpired around 9:30am. Biden told reporters that he had trouble removing his shoes from the bikes' pedals, causing the fall.

Joe Biden Yells, Points, And Says Really Stupid Stuff. [Scroll down] During an interview on Thursday, Biden "If it's my fault, why is it the case in every other major industrial country in the world that inflation is higher? You ask yourself that? I'm not being a wise guy." No, you're certainly not wise. First of all, that's not true, and in fact America, unsurprisingly, has one of the highest inflation rates right now amongst industrialized nations. But more importantly, Biden is also largely responsible for global inflation as well, thanks to his policies clobbering supply, particularly petroleum supply.

Tucker Carlson blasts Biden over daughter Ashley's diary admission that taking showers with him as a girl may have contributed to her sex addiction. Tucker Carlson slated Joe Biden over claims the president shared a shower with his sex addict daughter when she was young — and slammed the FBI for probing a woman who found and sold a diary containing the revelation. Carlson shared his horror at the detail contained within Ashley Biden's diary on his Fox News show Friday night, branding it 'sick' and 'horrifying' and questioning whether it was child molestation worthy of a visit from police. He also said the president was effectively using the Feds as his secret police force, after we revealed that Aimee Harris is being investigated over Ashley Biden's journal, which details her sex addiction and showers she had with her president father.

Did Ashley Biden reveal her father, Joe, is a creep to the point of pedophilia? It's no secret to anybody paying attention that Joe Biden has an unwholesome obsession with little children, especially little girls. He can't seem to keep his eyes, his hands, or his nose off them. The Daily Mail has also released text from a diary kept by Ashley Biden, Joe's drug-addicted, sex-addicted daughter, mentioning inappropriate showers with her father at a young age that may have led to her unhealthy sexual obsessions. Tucker Carlson, upon learning of this, launched an incendiary attack against Biden, the system that's long protected him from closer scrutiny, and the DOJ and FBI harassing journalists for investigating the story. Both of Biden's living children — Hunter and Ashley — have substance abuse problems. What's less well known is that they both suffer from sex addictions. Hunter has never admitted to this addiction but the contents of his hard drive make it patently clear that sex (and his own genitals) are obsessions with him.

The Editor says...
The FBI and its Chinese equivalent probably know all about Joe Biden's darkest secrets, which would explain a lot of his seemingly irrational behavior.

The incredible expanding lies of Joe Biden. President Biden blamed congressional Republicans for record-high inflation while addressing the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) in a recent speech in Philadelphia. Biden pathetically argued that his economic agenda, which relies on massive government spending, would help tame inflation. He also lamely — and falsely — blamed Republican obstruction of that agenda for the country's current economic woes. (It seems Biden is an alumnus of the Hillary Clinton Institute for Excellence in Blame-Shifting and Denouncement.) Biden boldly — if comically — stated, "Under my plan for the economy we made extraordinary progress and put America in a position to tackle a worldwide problem that's worse everywhere but here: inflation." [...] If Biden's "plan" is to fight inflation by dramatically increasing the already drunken-sailor rate of federal spending, he will make us all pine for the halcyon days of the Carter Era. That is akin to bloodletting for the sick. It would be like fighting obesity by ramping up your caloric intake or fighting STDs by engaging in more frequent anonymous sexual encounters. In a word, it is preposterous.

Biden gets testy, falsely claims inflation in 'every other major industrialized country' higher than US. President Biden appeared to get defensive during an interview Thursday when asked if his energy policies were to blame for inflation. In his first interview with The Associated Press, the president — running contrary to what many economists are forecasting after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates — said a recession was "not inevitable." "We're in a stronger position than any nation in the world to overcome this inflation," Biden said, pointing to 3.6% unemployment rate and America's relatively strong standing in the world. At the notion that his administration's policies were responsible for the worst inflation in 40 years and record-high gas prices, the president reportedly bristled.

It's all over but the shouting. "I don't want to hear any more of these lies about reckless spending," President Biden yelled into the microphone at the AFL-CIO gathering on Tuesday. "We're changing people's lives!" [...] Biden's target was as wrong as his tone. The kind of spending voters are talking about this year isn't the public kind. It's the private kind. With less than five months before Election Day, Biden and other Democrats face two central nightmares: At least once a week, nearly every American household fills up a gas tank or a grocery cart and gets hit with a sickening sticker shock. Their wallets are shrinking — fast — and they have only one party to blame for the horrible feeling.

Biden Attacks Oil Industry Even as He Demands More Production. "I don't want to hear any more of these lies about reckless spending," President Joe Biden shouted out in remarks that he delivered to AFL-CIO union members in Philadelphia on June 14th. "We're changing people's lives." President Biden sure has changed Americans' lives since he took office. Americans are far worse off today on his watch. As Republican Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana put it, "Forty-year-high inflation, [baby] formula shortages, and $5 gas are changing lives." President Biden promoted his green energy proposals during his AFL-CIO conference remarks. He claimed, for example, that a "tax credit for modernizing the homes... would help finally make America truly energy independent." America was already energy independent when former President Donald Trump left office. President Biden's war on the fossil fuel industry changed all that, helping to bring about record high gasoline prices at the pump.

Biden tells AP he's unpopular because Americans are mentally unwell. Joe Biden, as his party propaganda and media enablers say, is a man of compassion. And he's now loaded with such compassion with remarks like this, addressing his own unpopularity with the American people. [Tweet] See, it's not that we're bad people or anything. It's not that we're depraved deplorables, or terrorists, as Democrats have said in the past. We're just sick in the head. And for Biden, that makes sense, given that his unpopularity stretches across party lines and includes traditionally Democrat constituencies such as black, Hispanic, Asian-American, and young voters now.

Biden May Declare 'National Public Health Emergency' If Roe v Wade Is Overturned. Joe Biden is considering announcing a "national public health emergency" if Roe v Wade is overturned by the US Supreme Court in the coming days. This authoritarian move by the Biden regime would allegedly help women in red states obtain abortions despite the court ruling and the laws of the state. [...] Since a draft opinion was leaked last month indicating that the Supreme Court was prepared to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision — an action that would prompt at least 20 states to prohibit or severely curtail access to abortion — abortion rights advocates have been lobbying the White House to take extraordinary steps to mitigate the effect.

Ridiculous: Biden Blames Republicans, Putin for Inflation after Bragging about Spending Billions. Someone needs to tell slow Joe that it doesn't look good if he brags about spending billions upon billions of dollars and then shortly afterward blames Putin and the GOP for inflation. That's exactly what he did during a recent speech at the 29th AFL-CIO Quadrennial Constitutional Convention. [...] Ignored by Biden is that it was already rising precipitously before Putin got involved, or that the Biden regime has been spending not just billions, but trillions of freshly printed dollars[.]

Joe Biden Makes Pathetic Threat to Oil Companies, Exxon-Mobil Drops Him in Response. Amidst record prices, the White House has been desperately searching for a way to bring down costs without actually having to change its policy direction. That means lots of whining about supposed "price gouging" and threatening oil companies. On Tuesday, the threats escalated to the use of emergency powers, specifically the Defense Production Act, to force oil companies to refine more gasoline. [...] While the president apparently believes he's a king, refining capacity doesn't care about emergency powers. As CNBC notes, refineries are already running over 90 percent of capacity, and no new ones have been built in decades, largely because of stringent federal regulations and inconsistent energy policies. Who would invest in a new refinery when you've got one party saying they want to shut it down in five to ten years? Then there's the fact that the White House has pushed refineries to make environmentally-unfriendly, engine-damaging biofuel as part of its "climate" agenda.

Debunking 10 of Joe Biden's lies about the state of the US economy. CLAIM: Biden on Wednesday accused US oil companies of making excessive profits. He ordered them to "take immediate actions to increase the supply" of gasoline and diesel fuels. REALITY: Biden's own policies have disrupted energy markets. The American Petroleum Institute issued a list of 10 steps Biden could take to reduce supply disruptions, including ending obstruction of permitting on natural gas projects, lifting development restrictions on federal lands and waters and ending Trump-era steel tariffs. CLAIM: Biden apparently thinks that public raving can restore confidence in his leadership. He literally screamed at the AFL-CIO audience: "I don't want to hear any more of these lies about reckless spending. We're changing people's lives!" REALITY: Federal Reserve analysts estimated that Biden's deluge of handouts added 3% to the inflation rate by late last year. The Federal Reserve has boosted the money supply by 40% since the start of the pandemic, helping fuel price surges across the board.

Biden goes into cloud cuckoo land on inflation. Joe Biden either is stupid or thinks you're stupid. Because how else does anyone explain a speech like this, to the supposed working stiffs of the AFL-CIO Tuesday? [Tweet] There's plenty to dislike about this, from the 1940s proletarian vernacular to the heaping helping of old hokey Irish Catholic gesturing, as if the abortion president were actually Catholic and not a guy who plays one on TV for political benefit. The worst thing about it though was his incessant mockery of his runaway federal spending, which is the root of the current inflation. He wants more of it. More spending, more inflation, it doesn't get more obvious than that.

Biden Is Sleepwalking U.S. into Nuclear War with Russia. Since Russia initiated its brutal and illegal invasion of Ukraine, the West has responded with a hearty bellow of "Cry Havoc! And let slip the dogs of war!" Since February 24, NATO has poured nearly all its otherwise limited surplus of weapons and diplomatic capital — as well as economic capital, especially from the United States — into propping up the Ukrainian resistance front. Due to this unprecedented level of support for Ukraine, Kiev's forces have successfully rebuffed a Russian invasion of their historic capital and shifted the fighting over to the Russian-controlled eastern portion and the contested southern area of Ukraine. The Ukraine War has exacerbated the ongoing food and gas crises. The Biden Administration ignored the concerns of those who said that a war in Ukraine, and the subsequent onerous sanctions imposed upon Russia, the world's largest exporter of fossil fuels, would increase costs for ordinary Americans and make life harder for people everywhere.

Joe Biden sure does a lot of favors for China. I wonder why.
Biden is 'leaning toward' lifting some of the tariffs that Trump slapped on China. President Biden is eyeing up a lift on some Trump-era Chinese tariffs, in a move to tackle red-hot inflation that risks angering the labor movement and making him appear weak on China. Desperate to demonstrate action to drive down 8.6 percent inflation, Biden and his top officials are considering shedding some of the up to 25 percent tariffs that now cover $350 million worth of goods imported from China. Biden is expected to exempt some products covered by Trump's Section 301 tariffs on consumer items like bicycles but is likely to leave in place the tax on commercial items like steel and aluminum, White House sources told Axios.

Biden Sticks His Foot in His Mouth, Acknowledges Sad Truth About His Intelligence. [Scroll down] He also didn't even seem to understand what he was talking about when he talked about releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to deal with rising gas prices — he called it the "global fund." It isn't a "global fund" that is supposed to be for the world — it's an American fund that's only supposed to be used for our country's emergencies. "Emergencies" aren't when Biden has to do something to make up for his anti-energy policies and try to improve his low polls before the midterms. It's a crisis of his own making and he still isn't doing the one thing that would help the situation — taking the restrictions off energy. As we noted, he's still canceling oil leases and stopping drilling. Plus, the release that he's done so far hasn't lowered the prices, they've gone up to their highest ever — over $5.00 since he initiated the releases.

Joe Biden is Yelling at Everyone Again. Earlier today, angry Joe was channeling his inner thug as he harkened back to the good old days when labor unions were cracking skulls on behalf of the communists and socialists. Giving the pretense of connection to the working class is a performance technique Biden has used throughout his career, but it holds absolutely no basis in reality. Appearing at the AFL-CIO convention today, Biden began yelling at the brotherhood. In his mind anger, violence and conflict is what he believes organized labor is all about, so his performance is designed to convey that connection. It's more than a little weird, it's creepy.

Joe Biden and the Powerless Presidency. There's no doubt inflation is the nation's most pressing concern. All the polls show it. All the data shows it. And everyone just personally knows it. President Joe Biden will not admit that his policies, and his party's policies, have made inflation worse — and that, if Biden and congressional Democrats had their way, they would make it worse still. He just can't say that. Instead, the president's reaction has been a mixture of denial, finger pointing, ineffective gestures and, perhaps most of all, the argument that he, as president, is virtually powerless to address the nation's most pressing concern.

Biden makes series of false claims as he addresses labor unions. President Joe Biden told the largest federation of labor unions on Tuesday that he's working to rebuild the U.S. economy around workers - while at one point falsely declaring that families have less debt and more savings than when he took office. The speech before the AFL-CIO convention in Philadelphia was the president's attempt to reset the terms of the debate on the economy as his own approval ratings have slid while consumer prices — and the cost of gasoline — have surged. 'Since I took office, with your help, families are carrying less debt nationwide. They have more savings nationwide,' Biden said.

No record found of 'unlikely' claim Biden made to Naval Academy graduates that he had been 'appointed to the Academy in 1965'. A records search didn't turn up evidence for a claim President Joe Biden made last month when he told graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy he almost was one of them. The New York Post reported Tuesday that curators for the Delaware Historical Association in Wilmington went 'box-by-box' searching for Naval Academy nominations made by the late Delaware Sen. J. Caleb Boggs in the early to mid-1960s. During the May 27 ceremony in Annapolis, Biden told the crowd he had been 'appointed to the Academy in 1965 by a senator who I was running against in 1972,' which the chief curator Leigh Rifenburg told the paper was 'unlikely.'

CNN Decimates Biden and Dems' Hopes in the Midterms With Devastating Facts. One of the few people at CNN who has been fairly honest about how badly Joe Biden has been doing in the polls with Americans is Harry Enten, their senior data reporter. But what's interesting is that lately, they are featuring him more and more, which means that CNN is putting out some honesty that is just decimating Biden. If Democrats lose CNN, you know they are in big trouble, and the network seems unafraid about airing negative news on the Dems now. [...] But the biggest takeaway from all this, Enten explains, is how Republicans are doing on the generic congressional ballot. He looked at it going back to 1938 and it's "the best Republican position on the generic congressional ballot basically of all time." In other words, the Republican position is even better than it was in the years there were huge waves in 1994 and 2010, sweeping Republicans in. You know Democrats are going to throw all kinds of dirt against the wall to try to win. But it's clear people are tired of the nonsense, tired of the Democrats, tired of Joe Biden, tired of inflation and the tsunami is on the way.

Biden's Deathly Presidency. Under Trump, America was in so many senses vibrant and "alive" with pride in our country and hope for its future. Now we have regular mass shootings in which citizens disarmed by the State have no way to defend themselves. Overseas, we have a war in Ukraine, the threat of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, and Iran developing nuclear weapons with the encouragement of the Biden administration. The common thread is death and the fear that goes with it. And this does not even include Biden's aggressive defense of abortion on demand. [...] Long-term death rates are more a matter of demographics than policy, and they have been rising ever since Obama took office in 2008. But murder rates, deaths in war and civil unrest, drug overdose deaths, and accidental deaths are attributable to policy, and they have been rising under Biden, even during his short time in office. Under Biden, the U.S. murder rate, which had been declining under President Trump, is the highest in 25 years. [...] As a citizen, it is difficult to watch my country besieged by violence. Biden's presidency has been deadly in every respect: turning off economic growth and imposing environmental restrictions, proposing inflation-adjusted cuts in national defense while paying off student loans, and putting citizens at risk with his anti-police rhetoric. There is little chance of a second Biden term, but just another two and a half years is painful to imagine. How many thousands will lose their lives because of one incompetent and wrong-headed leader?

It is time to admit that the American left is malevolent. The Biden administration has brought this country to a historically and frightening new low, domestically and internationally. Our President and our nation are now laughingstocks, perceived as weak and vulnerable. Biden has made it clear to the rest of the world, beginning with his shuttering of our energy independence and his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, that America is free for the taking. China, Iran and Russia, even North Korea, have all sized up this president up and found him to be not only ridiculous but easily rolled. Each of those enemies of America, enemies of freedom, are planning their takeover of America, thanks to Biden and his pathetic cabinet's fecklessness. The US is now a vulnerable target of each of our enemies. The US has never been more at risk than it is now, thanks to this President. Obama began the seeds of our destruction and is most likely the Svengali who is running the Biden administration. Obama loathes this country and planted the seeds of what he hoped to be our eventual demise.

Florida Sen. Rick Scott Calls on Biden to Resign in Scathing New Ad. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) is hitting President Joe Biden hard in a new television ad that will air nationwide. "Joe Biden has destroyed America's economy," Scott, who is the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said in the advertisement funded by his own campaign, Fox News reported. "It's time to be honest with the American people. Joe Biden is unfit for office and should resign," he added. The ad is an effort to promote his "Rescue America" agenda, which has been a frequent target of the president. In fact, Biden's criticism of the plan is where the phrase "ultra-MAGA" originated.

Recovered Data Reveals Depth of Hunter Biden's Control of His Father. Hunter Biden's laptop continues to provide interesting and arguably disturbing information regarding the troubled son's relationship with his father. Joe Biden has long maintained a separation existed and exists between himself and his son's various dealings, but a newly recovered video paints a different picture. According to the Washington Examiner, Hunter Biden brags in the video about having control over what his dad talks about, noting that the now-president "thinks I'm a god." [...] Apparently, the drug use has completely fried Hunter Biden's ability to perceive reality. I mean, Joe Biden isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but I'm pretty sure the crack-addled, Navy flunkie who has made his living grifting off his father's name isn't "better" at anything but making amateur porn (of which his laptop was full of). That the president thinks so highly of Hunter Biden is more evidence of his horrific judgment.

Hunter Biden says his father will do anything he tells him to. Hunter Biden recorded himself boasting that his father will adopt political positions at his command, footage obtained from a copy of his abandoned laptop shows. "He'll talk about anything that I want him to, that he believes in," Biden said in reference to his father, Joe Biden, in the Dec. 3, 2018, recording. "If I say it's important to me, then he will work a way in which to make it a part of his platform. My dad respects me more than he respects anyone in the world, and I know that to be certain, so it's not going to be about whether it affects his politics."

Joe Biden Mocks Gun Owners During California Fundraiser: 'You're a Danger to Yourself'. President Joe Biden ridiculed lawful gun owners on Friday evening [6/10/2022] during a fundraiser with Democrat elites in California. The president spoke at an event in Beverly Hills, California, raising the issue of gun control as a major priority for his administration.

Biden says he hasn't decided to go to Saudi Arabia - seconds before confirming he IS going. President Joe Biden told reporters that he hadn't decided whether to visit Saudi Arabia to beg for more oil before seconds later saying he was indeed planning a trip there. 'Have you decided whether or not to go to Saudi Arabia,' Biden is asked by a reporter. 'No, not yet,' the president replies on camera. But moments later as Biden spoke on the tarmac in Los Angeles at the foot of Air Force One, the president said that he was in fact going. 'What would be holding up the decision at this point? Are there commitments from the Saudi's you're waiting for?' 'It happens to be a larger meeting taking place in Saudi Arabia. That's the reason I'm going', he said.

Summit of the Americas: Joe Biden turns America into a beggar. [Scroll down] Start with the earliest controversy — the invitation list. The past practice, and it's not a good one, but it is the precedent, is to allow socialist hellholes to attend what the 2001 Lima Declaration calls a club for democracies. As a result, Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua were not invited. Two of those dumps became dumps based on election fraud. The third is led by a brutal longtime military oligarchy that shot its way to power. Perhaps the election fraud issue is just a little sensitive for Old Joe? The president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, prior to the summit, pointed that uncomfortable detail out. If Venezuela and Nicaragua are not democracies owing to election fraud, how is the U.S. is all that different? The hypocrisy was obvious. It wasn't just Bolsonaro who pointed this out. In the past, Mexico's socialist president, Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador, has also cast a jaded eye on the legitmacy of Joe's election, because he, too, was once on the receiving end of what he was sure was electoral fraud, too, complete with ballot machines stopping in the middle of the night and changing directions.

Biden once again shows contempt for Trump, nixes design for Air Force One for laughable reason. Boeing is in the midst of modifying two Boeing 747-800 aircraft that will display the Air Force One callsign when the president is on board to replace the existing fleet of two aging Boeing 747-200 aircraft. In 2018, Trump ordered that the new jumbo jets ditch the Kennedy-era robin's egg blue and white design for a deeper navy and a streak of dark red reflecting the nation's colors. The reason for the cancelation is lame at best. The Biden administration, which evidently has an aversion to cutting costs on just about anything, claimed via an anonymous source that the proposed color change could add engineering, time, and costs to the delivery of the planes, according to Politico.

Signs of Dem Preparations to Dump Biden in '24. An incumbent president's own party dumping him without taking the party to rack and ruin would be unprecedented and would require an extraordinarily light touch. It goes without saying that it has to look like leaving was the president's idea or else his partisans — and Biden has more than a few — would scream bloody murder and rip the party to shreds. Yet there is a consensus growing around the idea that Biden needs to go. The debate over how that's done is happening very quietly. And it hasn't involved any of the party leadership or party influencers — at least not yet.

Biden's WHO Takeover. The Biden administration's bid to surrender American control over public health emergencies in the United States to the World Health Organization fell short at the UN's 75th World Health Assembly in Geneva last month, but there is no reason to believe Biden won't try again. This drive is part of our illegitimate placeholder president's effort to undo all the good things that former President Donald Trump accomplished. Trump slashed U.S. funding of WHO and served notice the country would pull out of the Communist Chinese-influenced agency, but Joe Biden aims to super-charge WHO's authority in world affairs by amending an international pandemic treaty known as the International Health Regulations (IHR) 2005. Of course, WHO is a bureaucratic monstrosity, a purveyor of leftist horror propaganda that, like its parent, the United Nations, should not exist.

With inflation at historic highs, Biden is still trying to make it worse. All he had to do was end the COVID-19 lockdowns and let the economy recover on its own. Instead, President Joe Biden spent trillions trying to "transform" the country, and now, everyone, especially the nation's poorest, is paying the price for his hubris. [...] But Biden still refuses to stop pouring spending fuel on the inflation fire. His administration is reportedly scheduled to cancel $10,000 worth of higher education debt for millions of overwhelmingly wealthy borrowers later this summer. Not only would this debt amnesty be no different than sending millions of $10,000 checks into an economy already overheating with demand, but these checks would also disproportionately go to the wealthiest families. According to data compiled by the Brookings Institution, the top 40% of income earners owe over two-thirds of all student debt, and the richest 20% owe 35%.

Biden says nations 'need to halt the dangerous ways people are migrating' and announces plan to send refugees to Spain. President Joe Biden tore into unlawful immigration in a speech at the Summit of the Americas where he and other leaders vowed to crack down on human smuggling as they announced a new accord. Biden laced his remarks with tough talk amid record immigration, addressing an issue that has caused his administration political problems from his first days in office. 'We need to halt the dangerous and unlawful ways people are migrating,' he said. Biden intoned in Los Angeles, where he is hosting the summit.

Biden Is Weighing Executive Orders on Abortion Rights. On Wednesday [6/8/2022], President Joe Biden told television host Jimmy Kimmel in an interview that he is considering signing an executive order to protect abortion in the event the United States Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade. This comes after a leaked draft opinion from the Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization showed the Justices poised to overturn Roe. "I think if the Court overrules Roe v Wade and does what its draft -" "Well, we fear they will," Kimmel interjected. "Well, if that occurs, I think we have to, we have to legislate it. We have to make sure we pass legislation making it a law, that is, the federal government says 'this is how it works,'" Biden said. He then argued that the right to birth control would be next. "This is just going to be the beginning, by the way," Biden continued. "There's a whole range of things that are at stake here if when we talk about eliminating Roe v Wade."

Biden threatens oil companies over record gas prices, tells them to pay their taxes. President Joe Biden said Exxon made 'more money than God last year' as he attacked oil companies for not 'drilling' or paying taxes while gas prices are breaking records in a speech Thursday where he continued to blame 'Putin's price hike' on 41-year high inflation. Biden spoke at the Port of Los Angeles just hours after a report was released showing annual inflation in the US has jumped 8.6 percent, blowing past expectations and dashing any hopes that consumer price increases had peaked. 'Today's inflation report confirms what Americans already know — Putin's price hike is hitting America hard,' he said and conceded that prices need to come down further.

Is Joe Biden's most important and closest advisor... Hunter Biden? Hunter Biden is one of the most deeply disturbed, even revolting, people known to the American public. Yet Miranda Devine, at the New York Post, says there's evidence that the person on whom Joe Biden is relying for political advice isn't his wife, chief of staff, or former boss, despite what everyone thinks. Instead, it's Hunter Biden. That would certainly explain both why and how our country is going so quickly to Hell in a handbasket. It's almost impossible to exaggerate just what an appalling man Hunter Biden is. [...] Given Biden's manifest mental degeneration, there's been a lot of speculation about who's running the White House. Jill? Chief of staff Ron Klain? Susan Rice? Obama? According to Miranda Devine, all of those guesses are wrong. The person closest to Joe and the one giving him the most political coaching is Hunter!

Insiders — and Hunter himself — say scandal-clad first son is Joe Biden's 'closest adviser'. As our aged president appears to be slipping cognitively, as well as slipping literally on the stairs of Air Force One, as he did again Wednesday, the whole world is wondering who really is in charge at the White House. Is it exhausted chief of staff Ron Klain calling the shots behind the scenes? Is it Biden's "Sherpa," White House counselor Steve Ricchetti? Is it first lady Jill Biden? But there is another alarming prospect: the "smartest man" Joe Biden knows, his son, the crack addict-turned-blowpipe artist Hunter Biden. Friends of Hunter say he discusses the finer points of Ukraine policy and other matters of state around the dinner table with his father on his regular weekend visits home to Delaware or Camp David.

If Biden Intended To Destroy America, What Would He Be Doing Differently? [Scroll down] He set off a 40-decade-high inflation spiral with his $2 trillion "rescue" plan. He exacerbated supply-chain problems by paying people not to work. He threw open the borders to millions of illegal immigrants. He needlessly kept COVID mandates and restrictions in place. He worsened shortages of baby formula and spiking gasoline prices. He encouraged foreign adversaries with his disastrous Afghanistan retreat. In every instance, Biden has said he and his top officials were "caught off guard." In other words, his is pleading incompetence. The public has picked up on this, which is why most Americans now believe that "incompetent" is the word that best describes this president. But incompetence doesn't do Biden justice. In every case, Biden knew, or should have known, what would happen if he pushed his policies. Yet he did so anyway. On inflation, even liberal economists were warning that Biden's reckless $2 trillion "rescue" plan — which he signed after the economy had already roared back to life — would set off a '70s-style inflationary spiral.

The Biden Administration's Five Stages of Grief. Here are the Biden administration's five stages:
[#1] It's not really a problem. You just think it is.
[#2] It's only a problem for some people, especially rich people. It doesn't affect ordinary folks.
[#3] It's only a temporary problem. Although folks may be feeling some pain right now, it will go away soon, thanks to our policies.
[#4] The problem is lasting a little longer than expected, but none of the experts anticipated that. The president himself is working hard to fix everything.
[#5] It's not our fault, and there's nothing we can do to fix the problem. Who is to blame? (In 2021, it was Trump; in 2022, it is Putin.)
Voters aren't buying it. They elect presidents to solve problems, and they hold them responsible when they fail. Polls show only about one-fifth of the country thinks we are "on the right track," a catastrophic number for the party in power. They don't blame Republicans, either, because Democrats control the White House, Senate and the House of Representatives. They point directly at Biden and his flailing party.

Joe Biden Is Not A Victim. He Is The Aggressor. A spate of news articles came out in recent days hilariously attempting to do two things for Joe Biden. The first is to paint his dumpster presidency as though he's a victim of circumstance rather than the rotting root of all of our nation's woes. Politico's version on Sunday [6/5/2022] went like this: "President Joe Biden and his aides have grown increasingly frustrated by their inability to turn the tide against a cascade of challenges threatening to overwhelm the administration." The story also declared that, "In crisis after crisis, the White House has found itself either limited or helpless in its efforts to combat the forces pummeling them[.]" Similarly, an online article by NBC News last week said Biden is "Faced with a worsening political predicament." Biden is not "faced" with a "predicament" and there is not a "cascade of challenged" that's "threatening" his administration. Biden is the predicament. He is the challenge.

Moonlighting Joe, the part-time president. If you listen to conservative media, you get the impression that the Biden administration is "hands down" the worst since our first, and perhaps greatest, president, George Washington, was inaugurated in 1789. Biden's gaffes, creepy whispering, rest home shuffling, and empty gazes make many of us wonder how we got to this sorry state. Many of us wonder why this man is not confined to an elder care facility. It is not fair, however, to claim he has no accomplishments. While we scream and shout about the demise of the country we love, he is busy accomplishing the bidding of the Democrat party and his patrons in Communist China. Joe Biden collects $400,000 a year in salary as president. According to the New York Post, Biden and his family have collected $31 million from China. Jesus said we cannot serve two masters. If Biden has collected $31 million from China, that raises the question: what do the Chinese want in return? Does that $31 million make China his biggest concern? Could it be that his primary job is serving the interests of China, while his role as president is a moonlighting gig?

Brazil's President Bolsonaro raises doubts that Biden won the 2020 election just two days before their meeting. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro raised doubs that President Joe Biden won the 2020 election two days before their first in-person meeting at the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles. Bolsonaro, nicknamed the 'Trump of the Tropics,' said in a television interview Tuesday that he is still suspicious of Biden's win, echoing complaints made by former President Donald Trump, who still falsely claims he was robbed a second term due to widespread voter fraud. 'The American people are the ones who talk about [election fraud,],' he said, according to Reuters. 'I will not discuss the sovereignty of another country. But Trump was doing really well.' 'We don't want that to happen in Brazil,' said Bolsonaro, who is on the ballot in October.

Biden throws last-minute nod to D-Day as disgust for second-year snub grows. An increasingly unpopular President Joe Biden gave a last-minute nod to the 78th anniversary of D-Day on Monday, after whiffing on it last year spurring national outrage and disgust. He issued a statement to honor the historic day at 8:45 pm ET which is actually early morning on June 7 in Normandy, France. Last year, the Biden administration failed to acknowledge the anniversary in any way, shape, or form, and this year's recognition of the day was perceived as merely perfunctory during an election year.

Hunter Biden's Favorite Las Vegas Hooker Got $20,000 Federal PPP Loan for 'Female-Owned Sole Proprietorship' After Joe Biden Took Office. A Las Vegas prostitute who bought crack for and had orgies with Hunter Biden got a $20,000 federal PPP loan right after Joe Biden took office. Cheryl Deboves received $20,207 in a PPP loan for a 'female-owned sole proprietorship,' according to the Daily Wire. The hooker's loan was listed under "Independent Artists, Writers and Performers."

He's dragging his feet in order to move the dramatic announcement closer to the mid-term election:
Biden 'now won't make a decision on wiping student loans until July or August'. President Joe Biden is delaying his decision on whether to cancel a substantial amount of federal student loan debt until July or August, it was reported on Monday [6/6/2022]. The president promised on April 28 to have an answer ready in 'the next couple of weeks.' Earlier that month, Biden had extended a moratorium on student loan payments and interest that was in place since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But now he's choosing to move his announcement closer to when that extension expires at the end of August, officials told the Wall Street Journal.

Biden snubs D-Day's 77th anniversary, angering veterans. A Homeland Security source told Fox News that service members and veterans are upset after President Biden failed to acknowledge the 77th anniversary of D-Day on Sunday [6/5/2022]. The source tells Fox News the fact that Vice President Harris tweeted about D-Day while Biden tweeted about the 1921 Tulsa Massacre on Sunday clearly underscores the administration's priorities. Roughly 2,500 Americans died on D-Day. "As a veteran I find it reprehensible that the president ends his speeches with 'God bless the troops,' which now seems to be in words only. He blatantly forgot to acknowledge the tremendous sacrifice of our greatest generation," an Afghanistan and Iraq wars veteran told Fox News on Monday.

Joe Biden couldn't plan a two-car parade. Somebody else is doing the planning.
Rep. Kat Cammack on Latest Migrant Caravan Traveling Through Mexico — Biden Regime "Has Been Planning This and Holding Formula for Months". 74% of baby formula products are out of stock in the US today. Several states have over 87% shortage of baby formula. [Tweet] Joe Biden admitted he was warned about the current baby formula shortage and its seriousness months ago. Last month Rep. Kat Cammock revealed the Biden regime was shipping pallets of baby formula to the border to take care of the babies of illegal aliens while American babies and mothers were struggling to find the formula.

Why Donald Trump Should Not Run for President in 2024. Nothing exemplifies the importance of the Trump presidency more than the chaos, mismanagement, ignorance and unmitigated failures of the fraudulently-elected Biden administration as the vast majority of the American people can see for themselves the stark differences between the two administrations. Because of Trump's success during his term, the citizenry is primed to soundly defeat the Democrats in November of 2022 and reject their nominee in 2024. Considering the paucity of viable candidates to replace Joe Biden, the Democrats and the left in 2024 will have to turn to either Bernie Sanders, Michelle Obama, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren or clones thereof or possibly a "woke" billionaire business luminary or even a puerile Hollywood celebrity. All of whom, after four years of Joe Biden, cannot win a national election that is not beset with fraud and rampant cheating.

Joe Biden sure does a lot of favors for China. I wonder why.
Team Biden ready to hand Russia and China vaccine technology — free of charge. The Biden administration is about to give one of the biggest US technological breakthroughs of the 21st century to Russia and China — free of charge. That's not the administration's goal, of course. But it's the inevitable result of a proposed deal that US negotiators recently struck in Geneva, Switzerland, at the World Trade Organization. The pact would effectively nullify intellectual-property protections on COVID-19 vaccines, including the next-generation mRNA shots from US companies Moderna and Pfizer. These mRNA platforms represent decades of research backed by billions of dollars in public and private investment. But if the WTO votes in favor at its summit starting June 12, our strategic and economic competitors — who contributed nothing to the effort — will enjoy the greatest free ride of all time.

Biden's at the Beach Again, Has Taken More Vacation Time Than Any Other President at This Point in Their Term. President Joe Biden saw fit to head to one of his two Delaware beach homes this weekend, adding to the 188 full or partial days away from the White House spent vacationing since he took office. It's not as if there's much going on, right? At the rate he's going, he could become the most highly-vacationed president in US history. When he's not vacationing in Delaware, he also likes to visit Camp David and Nantucket. His sojourns break down thusly: 130 days in either Rehoboth or Wilmington, Delaware, 52 days at the presidential retreat at Camp David in Frederick, Maryland, and six days on the luxury island of Nantucket.

Hurricane Joe — A Category Five Economic Calamity. Hurricane season is officially underway, beginning June 1, extending to November 30. Expect the usual stories about hurricanes becoming more frequent and severe due to global warming, despite contrary evidence. What about a new type of hurricane? Not rain and wind, but an economic hurricane of stagflation, a toxic combination of high inflation and stagnant economic growth. This hurricane is so miserable that a term was coined to measure the misery, aptly named the misery index, the sum of the inflation and unemployment rates. The misery index is currently in double digits, near 12, and if economic malaise continues, expect this number to creep closer to 20, territory last seen during the Jimmy Carter presidency, the last time both the misery index and malaise were commonly discussed.

Of course it's intentional, but Biden is only doing what he's told.
GOP sharpens a new attack line: What Biden is doing to America is 'intentional'. Rep. Jim Jordan is never one to mince words. So when asked why President Joe Biden was willing to risk children losing their federally subsidized school lunches just to force schools to adopt new LGBTQ-plus agendas, the Ohio Republican gave a razor sharp answer. "It makes no sense," Jordan told Just the News during an interview Friday on the John Solomon Reports podcast. "That tells you this is intentional." After more than a year of attacking Biden as a commander in chief who is bumbling, incompetent, prone to foot-in-mouth, rambling until he is lost, and mentally challenged, Republicans have changed tack as they head into crucial midterm elections that will determine control of Congress. Now, the most unpopular features of the current American scene — high gas and food prices, transgender mandates and the open border among them — are relentlessly painted as part of the president's and Democrats' deliberate policies.

The Sovietization of American Life. Entire professions have now nearly been lost to radical progressive ideology. [...] Or how about the 50 retired intelligence "experts" who swore that Hunter Biden's laptop was not genuine but likely Russian disinformation? Did they really rely on hundreds of years of collective expertise to adjudicate the laptop or did they simply wish to be rewarded with something comparable to a "Hero of Woke America" award?

DeSantis puts 'Brandon' on blast for '100% intentional and man-made' economic crisis in America. At a signing of the Freedom First Budget, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis tore into President Joe Biden for the economic crisis now hitting already struggling Americans. "We have to look at what we're doing against the backdrop of what's going on in Washington, D.C. and particularly, there's a fella by the name of 'Brandon' that people talk about that we have to contend with," he said, sparking laughter from those in attendance. "I see this news report where Biden is so frustrated that his approval ratings are in the toilet," DeSantis continued. "He can't understand. He's lashing out at his staff. He's blaming other people. He's blaming the media, even though he gets the most sycophantic media coverage that any president has ever gotten. Compare how they treated Trump with how they treat Biden. It's night and day."

Are the Wheels Coming Off the Biden Presidency? The Biden Administration has reached the "you can't fool all of the people all of the time" stage," and the evidence shows Americans aren't buying Biden's excuses and blame-shifting. [...] The problem here [... is] that no one thought it necessary to check the accuracy of the claim as the article was being written for President Biden. (No one thinks he wrote it himself.) The Reagan White House was always meticulous in checking facts for Reagan's speeches and articles precisely because Reagan sometimes let fly in casual remarks with something that wasn't factual or not properly qualified. More than once stories or claims Reagan wanted to use in a speech were struck, even though it turned out later that he was correct. The Biden team have no such scruples.

Troubling questions about Biden's vacation days. The Washington Examiner recently reported that Joe Biden is on course to spend more time away from the White House than any of his recent predecessors. Biden has spent more than a quarter of his first year in office in Delaware, typically on weekends, and has continued that trend in year two. Biden has spent an estimated 188 full or partial days away from the White House, with 130 spent at his Delaware properties, 52 at Camp David, and six in Nantucket. If that pace holds, Biden will spend roughly 553 days away from the White House over his first term. How does this record compare to previous US Presidents? President Donald Trump spent 381 days away from the White House while in office. Obama spent 328 days away during his tenure while George W. Bush spent 1,020 days away from the White House for his two terms. Bill Clinton was away for 345 days during his tenure.

The Editor says...
The article goes on to say that vacation days are important for someone with a high-stress job. But in Mr. Biden's case, the key metric — which we will never know — is how many hours per week does Joe Biden sleep? My guess is well over 100.

Joe Biden Says Gun Violence is a National Emergency, But He's Off to the Beach. During Thursday's White House Press Conference, Fox News' Peter Doocy had a simple question for Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre: if gun violence is such an emergency, why is Biden off to the beach?

Biden says Second Amendment is 'not absolute' in call to reinstate assault weapons ban. President Biden said the Second Amendment is "not absolute" in a speech Thursday following a wave of mass shootings across the nation, pleading with to Congress to pass what he called "commonsense" gun control legislation, including reinstating an assault weapons ban, requiring background checks, and limiting magazine capacity. The president, speaking from the Cross Hall of the White House, told Americans that the issue of restricting access to guns "is one of conscience and common sense." "For so many of you at home, I want to be very clear — this is not about taking away anyone's guns," the president said. "It is not about vilifying gun owners. In fact, we believe we should be treating responsible gun owners as an example of how every gun owner should behave."

Biden can't run the country if he can't even manage his own staff.
Absolute Chaos Inside the White House Ensues, as the Backstabbing Begins. Over the last several days, a deluge of insider stories dropped about the inner workings of the White House. Needless to say, none of them have painted a positive picture. On Wednesday, news of infighting between Joe Biden and his staff broke, leaving the obvious question of who is actually in charge. One complaint revolved around the president's handlers constantly coming behind him to change his statements. Another centered on Biden being so ill-informed about the various, mostly self-inflicted crises that have plagued his tenure. Now, another report via CNN is offering more details about just how chaotic things are.

Biden Vacation Numbers Are as High as His Approval Numbers Are Low. There's a reason that Americans don't approve of Joe Biden and his poll numbers are in the cellar. They see his team not able to answer simple questions about why they've messed up on the baby formula shortage. They see him and his team as unable or uninterested in dealing with skyrocketing gas prices and inflation. Even CNN is predicting a wipeout in the midterms because Biden's numbers are so awful. This is what Biden looked like during the baby formula meeting he had two days ago. He looks completely disengaged and like he's about to fall asleep. [Video clip]

Our Economic Misery Isn't an Accident, It's the Plan. Picking a dementia patient for the presidency was always a suicide mission. Republicans are somewhat right in that Biden really isn't paying attention to the economy or much of anything else. On a good day he can mumble his way through a teleprompter and then go back down to the basement for some ice cream. It's the radical leftists around him who call the shots. Putting Senator Elizabeth Warren in the White House would have led to the same programs, but the blame would have been directed at the Left. This way, the Left gets its agendas through while the blame falls on the most out-of-it leader of a major world power since King George III. The Left is wearing Biden like a skin suit and will casually discard him when it's done. That's why the media is suddenly interested in that "Russian disinformation" about Hunter's laptop. Biden was dumb enough to think he had finally made it, when he was just the Left's fall guy.

Reporters [ask] why Biden wasn't told about baby formula crisis for months. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wouldn't say on Thursday [6/2/2022] why President Joe Biden wasn't informed about the baby formula shortage until April as she again struggled to answer question about the administration's response to the crisis. Jean-Pierre was quizzed repeatedly during her daily press briefing on what the president knew, when he knew it, and who exactly told him. And she gave evasive answers, saying it was 'senior staff' who went through 'regular channels' to deliver the information.

Help! The (Pretend) President's Fallen and Can't Get Up! In as sure a sign of a disloyal White House staff as any, reports have leaked that Joe Biden is "rattled" by cratering public approval polls and is desperately "pressing aides for a more compelling message." (Remember, folks: only the fairytale "narrative" matters, not Biden's real-world dumpster fire of a presidency.) High-level staff have been leaving the White House in droves. Biden's chief of staff, Ron Klain, is reportedly planning to skedaddle soon after the midterms. A massive exodus of black staffers is undermining morale. Old Joe is so "frustrated" with his advisers' regular "clean-up campaign" of his public comments that he has begun reprimanding them that it is he who is president. [...] I've been waiting for this freak-out — the moment when either a temporarily lucid Joe or his nurse-wife Jill finally comes to the realization that this administration is on a path to being remembered as the most incompetent, corrupt, or evil (or maybe all three) in American history. At some point, the Bidens' wounded pride was bound to clash with Barack Obama's maneuverings to use "ah shucks" Joe as a stalking horse for "fundamentally transforming" America into a Marxist theocracy.

The Biden administration tiptoes around the Chinese. I wonder why.
U.S. spy agencies warned not to discriminate against Chinese Americans. The FBI, CIA and other intelligence agencies are not permitted to consider Chinese-Americans as a greater security threat despite their targeting by China's intelligence service for recruitment, according to a report made public Tuesday by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. "While continuing to combat the significant national security threat posed by the [People's Republic of China], IC agencies and components must ensure that their intelligence activities and security clearance processes protect the privacy, civil liberties, and civil rights of Americans of Chinese descent and all other Americans," the report concludes. The report appears to be based on unfounded allegations of Chinese-American racism by intelligence and security agencies.

Biden's 9mm Gaffe Is Comedic Gold — Until It Isn't. Joe Biden once again opened his mouth to speak on what he calls "rational" gun laws — and once again, it would have been far better had he physically inserted his foot instead. There was the old classic, of course: You couldn't buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed. But he also shocked us with a new fact: Apparently, a 9mm bullet can blow your lung right out of your body. It has long been evident that Democrats, in general, are often not experts on the subject matter of firearms — but that one demonstrates a lack of even a shred of the common sense the left loves to boast of in their gun-grabbing policies. The 9mm: When You Absolutely Must Remove an Entire Lung. The golden nugget in this question-and-answer session, however, came in the form of a classic Biden story — the kind that almost certainly never happened.

Joe Biden Creates 'Office of Environmental Justice' for 'Communities of Color'. President Joe Biden's administration announced Tuesday a new Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ) to preserve "communities of color" from zoning restrictions and pollution, among other objectives. The OEJ will report to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and will sit within the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity at HHS, according to Xavier Becerra, secretary of HHS. Biden created the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity in 2021 to stop the warming of the globe.

The Editor says...
Does Joe Biden believe he can stop global warming by setting up another layer of bureaucracy?

Trumpology. The disaster that is the Biden Administration has been a godsend for Trump. Had President Joe Biden simply plagiarized the successful Trump agenda, there would have followed no border disaster, no energy crisis, no hyperinflation, and no disastrous flight from Afghanistan. Had Biden followed through on his "unity" rhetoric, he could have lorded over Trump's successful record as his own, while contrasting his Uncle-Joe ecumenicalism with supposed Trump's polarization. Of course, serious people knew from the start that was utterly impossible. A cognitively challenged Biden was a captive of ideologues. Thus, he was bound to pursue an extremist agenda that could only end as it now has — in disaster and record low polls. [...] Even if he manages to last another two years in office, Democratic grandees know his cognitive faculties are eroding rapidly. They read polls and know what his non compos mentis optics have done to their party. These same interests are just as terrified of Senators Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. Those two believe that the Biden disaster was not due to his embrace of hard socialism, but to his insufficient embrace of socialism.

Joe Biden Is Too Old to Be President. I realize that is age-ist, but the presidency is one of the hardest jobs in the world, and executing the duties of the presidency well requires someone who is in good physical and mental health, ideally with a lot of vigor and an ability to handle off-the-charts stress and a relentless workload. Joe Biden was not the most verbally or mentally disciplined guy back when he was vice president, and his advancing age is worsening his problems. The president really can't speak off-script anymore without blurting out something that undermines the case he was trying to make. Republicans may not mind having a president who is so ineffective, but over the long term, it isn't good for the country to have a commander in chief who can't handle portions of the job.

Who Really Is the President? In its detailed report, NBC News paints a picture of a President who has little to no control over the office and a staff dead set on making sure its agenda is the President's focus rather than the other way around. As my colleague Bonchie mentioned earlier this morning, part of the news report seems fixated on absolving Biden of the mistakes of his administration. However, it could be that something much more nefarious is afoot. It's not that Biden isn't at fault, but that Biden isn't in control of his own policies, having shopped most of the work out to staffers from among the far left.

Wait — Doesn't Joe Biden Know He's a Puppet? Old Joe Biden has been pretending to be president of the United States for a year and a half now. While it has never been entirely certain who exactly is in charge (Barack Obama and White House chief of staff Ron Klain are two of the candidates most commonly bruited about), Old Joe himself has made it clear many times that it he isn't, saying on numerous occasions that he is going to "get in trouble" with unnamed people if he departs from the instructions they have given him. That's why it was all the more surprising on Tuesday when NBC News revealed that Biden is angry about White House aides constantly walking back his statements when they're wacky, inaccurate, incendiary, or dangerous. Does he actually think he is president of the United States after all? Biden has many times intimated that he is not the man who is calling the shots, and knows it.

From Senseless Trauma to Predictable Hackery. As revolting a spectacle as it was, it was scarcely surprising (considering the source) that in the immediate aftermath of the horrific killings at Uvalde, the "President" hobbled to a microphone to rehash stale partisan lies designed to defame half the nation and to scapegoat his political adversaries — even sinking so low as to repeatedly enlist God as his partner in this disgraceful, transparently self-serving stunt. In his screed, Biden delivered a litany of angrily couched, divisive lies. While the trotting out of these recycled, cheap falsehoods is galling, one of the most offensive aspects of Biden's hateful little rant was its subtext. Biden's falsehoods were delivered in a tone that implied the Uvalde tragedy gives Biden and his political allies a license to gloat over the victims and to proclaim accusatorily "See! We told you so! You wouldn't let us have our way, and now this happened!"

Biden Crime Family to reap massive profits from monkeypox vaccines. As you might expect, the current White House occupant is about to rake in boatloads of cash from the new monkeypox "vaccines" that are currently under development. The Penn Biden Center, a globalist think tank at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, is receiving a flood of cash, we now know, to create the next wave of plandemic injections at warp speed. And as its name suggests, the Penn Biden Center is directly tied to the Biden Crime Family. Patrick Howley told Owen Shroyer during a recent live transmission of "War Room" that the pharmaceutical-industrial complex is greasing the skids for the Biden Crime Family to profit heavily from the monkeypox false flag event that is now unfolding.

Biden's Weekend of Lies: Lying About Naval Appointment, More Falsehoods at U of Delaware. On Saturday, Joe Biden spoke at his alma mater, the University of Delaware, for their 2022 graduation ceremony. The day before, he spoke at the U.S. Naval Academy and told some despicable lies. He claimed he had received an appointment to the Academy in 1965, when in fact he was graduating from the University of Delaware in 1965, so that couldn't possibly be true. He also claimed that he didn't go to the Academy but chose to go to Delaware instead because the Academy had "Staubach and Bellino" there. "I didn't come to the Academy because I wanted to be a football star. And you had a guy named Staubach and Bellino here. So I went to Delaware." Except Roger Staubach graduated in 1965 and Joe Bellino in 1961. So even that part didn't add up. How do you lie about receiving a Naval appointment to Navy graduates? What kind of a person does that?

Joe Biden's loose lips could sink ships. Is Joe Biden crazy like a fox, or just crazy? That's the question careening around the world after the president said last week that the United States would respond militarily if China invades Taiwan. The shocking remark in Tokyo came just two months after Biden, on a visit to Poland, insisted Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power" because of Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine. Both bombshells sent the White House into DEFCON damage control as aides rushed out "clarifications" to insist there was no change in longstanding policies. They said the United States is still only committed to selling Taiwan military equipment to defend itself and claimed Biden was definitely not talking about "regime change" in Russia. In both cases, their attempts amounted to denials the president said what he clearly said. That set off a round of accusations that the unelected staff was subverting the commander in chief and added fresh impetus to questions of whether Biden is really running the White House.

Biden's Football Fib: Roger Staubach Blocked His Path At Navy. President Joe Biden seems to have told a football fib during a speech Friday at the U.S. Naval Academy, claiming he was accepted to the vaunted military institution back in 1965, but declined because future NFL Hall of Fame Roger Staubach blocked his path to playing for the Midshipmen. Biden said he instead went to the University of Delaware, which is true. But he never played varsity football there, and there's no evidence he ever declined a spot at Navy. The years don't come close to matching up, either. It appears to be the latest example of Biden trying to fit in with a crowd of people he's addressing by saying he's been in their shoes.

Daily Beast releases apology to Hunter Biden's laptop repairman. The Daily Beast has issued an apology to the Delaware computer repairman who acquired Hunter Biden's laptop for wrongly claiming in a past story that the computer was "stolen." The apology to John Paul Mac Isaac appeared in a Wednesday [5/25/2022] editor's note attached to a story the Daily Beast published in Dec. 2020 alleging the laptop was pilfered, Fox News reported. "An earlier version of this story mistakenly referred to Hunter Biden's laptop as 'stolen.' We have removed that word, and we apologize to Mr. Mac Isaac for the error," the editor's note reads. Isaac, 45, was left with the infamous laptop after Hunter Biden abandoned it at his shop in 2019. The repairman came to legally own the laptop after the president's son neglected to ever pick it up.

Biden Hits New Heights With Festival of Lies During Navy Graduation Speech. I'm convinced that someone told Joe Biden once upon a time that the way to give good speeches is to try to relate to your audience. That's certainly true. But it doesn't mean just to make things up that never happened to make you sound more like your audience. [...] Joe Biden was at the U.S. Naval Academy on Friday to address the graduating class of 2022. So what did he do? If you guessed that he claimed that he received an appointment to the Naval Academy — congratulations, you win.

Joe Biden Says The 'Protests' In The Summer Of 2020 'Unified' People Of Every Generation. During recent prepared remarks, President Joe Biden said the the 'protests' in the summer of 2020 unified people of every generation. First of all, they were more like riots than protests. Secondly, the only people they united were the far left radicals doing the rioting. Most people were repulsed by the left's behavior. Parts of cities were burned or destroyed in other ways. Biden thinks this was unifying?

What's Really Behind Biden's Repeated and Dangerous Gaffes: Senility or Strategy? President Joe Biden's regular gaffes during speeches are a source of both national embarrassment for America, and international amusement. However, with his latest supposedly "erroneous" pledge to defend Taiwan from attack by the Chinese regime, it seems there were some who were not laughing. As Biden prepared to wrap up his Asia tour, two bomber aircraft, one Russian and one Chinese, were detected "patrolling" in the area. Japan called the action by the loosely allied autocracies a provocation.

Jill Biden Stages Airport Baby Formula Photo-Op as Shelves Remain Empty. First Lady Jill Biden staged a media photo-op with pallets of baby formula on Wednesday, as store shelves remain empty. "I've always said that food is love, but food is life too," the First Lady said, appearing with the U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy.

Hunter Biden's laptop is 100% authentic, forensic examination concludes. A copy of Hunter Biden's hard drive obtained by the Washington Examiner is indisputably authentic, and there is no evidence of any hacking or file manipulation, according to an examination conducted by a former Secret Service agent who has testified as a cyberforensics expert in over 100 classified, criminal, and civil matters at the state, federal, and international levels. The Washington Examiner commissioned Konstantinos "Gus" Dimitrelos to conduct a full forensic examination to determine the drive's authenticity and whether there were any signs of tampering. Using a technique he developed called "digital sandwiching," Dimitrelos cross-referenced thousands of emails, documents, business records, text messages, Apple Notes, photos, geolocation data, travel records, and other information on the drive to conclude that Biden is the only person capable of producing the data.

Hunter Biden Made Most of His Money From China. [Scroll down] The underlying question is what was Hunter Biden and the larger clan doing to make all that money from these guys? It's implausible that Hunter Biden, an unstable crackhead with no self-control, was getting paid a fortune for any skill other than his political connections. If Joe Biden had been a retired Senate member, it's unlikely that Hunter would have gotten this kind of payday. There's no scenario in which this was anything except an attempt to use Joe Biden's crackhead son for his political connections. And those connections all go through Joe.

Hunter Biden swiped personal info from his family's phones, laptop data suggest. Records located on a copy of Hunter Biden's laptop suggest he took personal data from his sister-in-law's cellphones over a dozen times between 2017 and 2018 without her consent, according to a former Secret Service agent who has testified in over 100 classified, criminal, and civil matters at the state, federal, and international level as a cyberforensics expert. The data Biden extracted from iPhones owned by Hallie Biden, the widow of his deceased brother, Beau Biden, included her text messages, photos, notes, call logs, calendar, and over 120 voicemails. Hallie Biden's texts and voicemails that were located on Hunter Biden's laptop were mostly personal in nature, but some indicate she was aware of his foreign business dealings in China.

Biden Wants To Drain Another Emergency Fuel Supply. President Joe Biden is mulling taking action to release federal diesel stockpiles in an attempt to curb the worsening supply shortage of the key fuel in New England, CNN reported Monday [5/23/2022]. Biden recently asked officials to begin preparing a plan to order a release of fuel from the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve (NEHHOR), a government stockpile of ultra-low-sulfur diesel last tapped in 2012 during Hurricane Sandy, a senior administration official told CNN. The move reportedly reflected the president and White House officials' concerns about surging diesel fuel prices and declining private-sector inventories in the northeast. "The system is definitely under strain," the senior administration official told CNN. "We think this looks like the exact circumstance where consideration of the release should be done and that's what the president has directed," the official continued.

'Republicans For Biden' Owe The Nation An Apology. In the run-up to the 2020 election, the Biden campaign was gleeful about the flood of prominent Republicans who'd crossed the aisle to support Joe's candidacy. These Never-Trumpers weren't just expressing their disdain for President Donald Trump, they were heartily, lovingly, making the case for Joe Biden. Back then, they were lauded as heroes by the establishment. Today, everyone knows the truth. These Biden-supporting Republicans were utterly, embarrassingly, dangerously wrong about the man they were touting for president. And we are all now paying an enormous and rapidly increasing price for their arrogant stupidity. Nothing better encapsulates the "Republicans for Biden" mindset than the statement issued by nearly 500 former national security officials in the fall of 2020 backing Biden.

Joe Biden sure does a lot of favors for China. I wonder why.
Biden kowtows to China by flirting with ending tariffs. President Joe Biden implied Monday [5/23/2022] that he may soon cut tariffs on imports from China, noting, "We did not impose any of those tariffs — they were imposed by the last administration." Reducing tariffs now would be a mistake because of timing and because cutting them does not simply return things to the way they were before the duties were imposed. The signal it sends is different from that. Most economists believe cutting tariffs would provide a negligible benefit in reducing inflation. Supply chain shortages in China, some due to its COVID lockdown policies, reinforce this fact. In setting policy, the question of who started it should also be irrelevant, although Biden seems incapable of leaving a Trump policy in place, whether or not it works. What matters is whether the tariffs are beneficial or detrimental to U.S. interests overall.

Did the Biden Administration Just Give a Boost To the Hunter Biden Defense? The Justice Department this week sued former casino mogul Steve Wynn for allegedly working as an agent for China. The lawsuit under the Foreign Agents Registration Act is bad news for Wynn, but it may be a win for another potential target: Hunter Biden. By bringing this action as a civil lawsuit, the Justice Department may have undercut the ongoing investigation by David Weiss, the US attorney for Delaware, into Hunter Biden's foreign dealings. This civil suit doesn't necessarily bar Weiss, but Biden's team can now argue that criminally charging him with a FARA violation would be inconsistent with contemporary investigations. [...] Some in the administration may be hoping that this charge will compel a consistent approach that would effectively decriminalize any violations under investigation in Delaware.

Joe Biden and Racial Demagoguery. Joe Biden has had a long history of racist outbursts. Can we even remember them all? The "put y'all back in chains" insults to an audience of black professionals, his dismissal of black interviewers variously as "you ain't black" or "junkie," his he-man racialist Corn Pop mythologies, his recent condescending reference to a black professional as "boy," and on and on. The Left has always contextualized his racial outbursts in the same fashion his decades-long creepy touching, sexual harassment, grabbing, and blowing into the hair and ears of young women and teens were always "just Joe being Joe." So it was ironic but predictable that Biden went to Buffalo on Tuesday [5/17/2022] to leverage the recent carnage from the deranged, eco-fascist, racist, and insane lethal mass shooter of 11 African-Americans. [...] For Biden, as his midterm rendezvous looms ominously, the Buffalo shooter was useful in smearing his own political opponents. So Biden saw a trip to Buffalo as an opportunity, in a way other mass shootings were not, and made a rare excursion out of his secluded compound.

Biden Was Asked By CNN Reporter If He Had A Message For Kim Jong-un But There Was Nothing In The Teleprompter So He "Improvised". Biden's trip to South Korea has been a disaster so far! Footage of Biden landing in South Korea raised even more controversies. Watch as he descends the steps of Air Force One wearing a mask, and then takes off the mask as soon as he comes into contact with other people. It's science. [Video clip]

It Sure Looks Like Joe Biden Is Trying to Purposely Destroy the Country. The last several weeks in the United States have been a wild ride. Everything that could go wrong, short of a full-blown apocalyptic situation, has gone wrong. The stock market is currently in the midst of a collapse, with the Dow Jones losing nearly 5,000 points over the last 30 days. Inflation clocked in at 8.3% for April, representing another crushing blow to Americans. Of course, gas prices continue to break milestones on a daily basis. [...] If the Biden administration were actually purposely trying to destroy the country, what would they be doing differently? That's a question everyone should ask themselves at this point. At every turn, on every issue, the president and his team are moving to do exactly the opposite of what has to happen to help, and they are doing so with blatant arrogance.

The Editor says...
Aha! I think I know what they're up to. Joe Biden is creating a series of preventable crises. Someday soon, the Democrats will throw out Mr. Biden on the basis of his obvious senility, and replace him with Kamala Harris, who is as dumb as a box of rocks. The news media will celebrate the coronation of the First Female President for a couple of weeks, and then... TA-DAAA all the country's problems will get fixed, one by one: The Mexican border will be sealed up, the oil companies will be given every possible incentive to produce, ship, import and sell gas as cheaply as possible, the money supply will be tightened, career criminals will be locked up for life, and baby formula will be flowing in the streets. After a year of Reaganesque improvements — which is really just un-doing everything Biden did — Harris will be absolutely unbeatable in 2024. You couldn't possibly vote against her with such a record of "achievements" unless you're some kind of racist. And don't you dare question her citizenship, you truther! Do you hate women, or something? It's an enormous plot to make old white men look like the last people you should ever elect as president. And, as Biden has proven, a Democrat president is just a figurehead anyway — the real power is behind the curtain — so it doesn't matter if the ostensible president is competent or not. That's your cue, Michelle!

Joe Biden is a one-man wrecking ball. On Issue after issue — potential violence against the Supreme Court, the attempt to nationalize the voting system, and even the baby formula shortage — Joe Biden is an 'Ultra Moron' and we're all paying the price. If we don't win in 2024, this country is gone. [Video clip]

When it comes to energy production, the midterm elections matter. The day before Joe Biden entered the Oval Office, America was a net energy exporter with a rapidly growing economy, despite the effects of the Democrat-demand lockdowns. On his first day in the Oval Office, Biden immediately took steps to cut America's energy production and, by vetoing the Keystone Pipeline, its access to energy. America instantly began an inflationary climb that accelerated with the War in Ukraine. What a Senate Energy Committee hearing revealed is that the Biden administration is only just getting started. If America is to survive, Biden's wings must be clipped and that can only be done with a veto-proof majority in Congress.

First World Countries Don't Have Baby Formula Shortages. When Joe Biden became president, the United States was coming out of the worst pandemic in more than a century. The country needed a steady hand who could unify everyone. Biden promised to be that kind of president. But instead of implementing sound policies, Biden trashed the country. He declared open war on the U.S. energy industry on day one. He also pushed plans to print trillions more dollars and pump them into the ailing economy. It doesn't take Warren Buffet to predict the impact of just those two decisions. It doesn't take Jeff Bezos to recognize where this would end up, but belatedly Bezos has. Biden now finds himself lashing out at someone who is merely observing reality.

US military jets from air base in Germany will fly Nestle Alfamina baby formula to Indianapolis. The first flights of infant formula from Europe, authorized by President Joe Biden to relieve a deepening U.S. shortage, will arrive in Indiana aboard military aircraft this weekend, the White House announced Friday. The White House says 132 pallets of Nestlé Health Science Alfamino Infant and Alfamino Junior formula will leave Ramstein Air Base in Germany and arrive in the U.S. this weekend. Specifically the formula will be taken to Indianapolis. Another 114 pallets of Gerber Good Start Extensive HA formula are expected to arrive in the coming days.

Biden's America Rots from the Head Down. Not only is Joe's walking corpse a fitting symbol for a country that has never looked more debilitated, but the reality (ignored by the State's slavishly devoted press corps) that his cognitive acuity is plummeting so fast that terminal velocity was reached long ago drives the point home that the head of our head of state is rotting, too. When Biden's handlers sent him to Buffalo, New York, to exploit a mass murder by blaming conservatives, liberty-lovers, Trump Republicans, Fox News, and just about anybody to the right of Karl Marx for a crime whose perpetrator didn't even merit the faux-president's direct condemnation, angry, spiteful Joe Biden showed just what a miserable, acidic, revolting excuse for a human being he's always been. A real president would have mourned the dead, comforted the survivors, consoled the grieving, and united Americans through the common bonds of their humanity. But Joe Biden is no real president, so he both dishonored the solemnity of the occasion and betrayed his sacred duty to elevate the nation's welfare over the interests of his party's political power.

Hunter Biden's Finances And Orgiastic Binges [were] Worse Than Imagined, New NBC Report Shows. According to NBC News, based on findings from content found on the younger Biden's infamous laptop, between the years 2013 and 2018 Hunter Biden "brought in about $11 million via his roles as an attorney and a board member with a Ukrainian firm accused of bribery and his work with a Chinese businessman now accused of fraud." Let's first consider that amount for a moment. That's an 8-figure haul for Biden over the course of six years working for the corrupt Ukrainian firm Burisma and the equally corrupt Ye Jianming, who was CEO of the Chinese oil and natural gas company CEFC and who was charged with "economic crimes" by Chinese officials in 2018. Receiving $11 million from two highly questionable sources such as Burisma and Jianming is eyebrow-raising enough, and should be cause for DOJ and Congressional investigations. Yet somehow Hunter Biden is currently only being investigated for tax evasion.

Biden hits 100 days without a media interview. President Joe Biden on Friday reached a milestone not seen in the recent history of the presidency — 100 consecutive days without conducting a sit-down interview with the media. The president was last interviewed by a member of the press on Feb. 10, when NBC's Lester Holt spoke to him ahead of Super Bowl LVI. Since then, Biden has held press conferences and taken questions from individual reporters but has not conducted any extended interviews.

Sen. Sullivan Lists What Biden Has Done Just in Last Three Weeks to Block Oil Production. I've previously reported how Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) took Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm apart when she tried to blame rising gas prices on Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Then there was Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) who exposed an insane announcement from the Interior Department about stopping all new oil leases. Interior Secretary Haaland also refused to tell Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) whether it was environmentally better to produce oil in Venezuela or the U.S. — his point being if this is about what's better for the environment, you'd want to produce it here. Yet the Biden team is hindering production here, while reaching out to Venezuela. How can the Biden team claim that they are doing everything they can to bring down gas prices, if they continue on the path they have been on since Joe Biden came in — being anti-energy? Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), who comes from the oil-rich state of Alaska, blew the whistle on that by listing what the Biden Administration has done, just in the last three weeks that has impeded oil and gas production during his questioning of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. [Tweet with video clip]

Biden Claus: U.S. lifts sanctions on Putin's strongest allies. With Joe Biden's foreign policy, there's always a lot of confusion, a lot of 'the right hand knows not what the left hand is groping.' It doesn't help that Biden's point people at the State Department have been identified as "the three stooges" by a senior U.S. diplomat. Which brings us to the Biden administration's latest lame-brained idea — lifting sanctions on the Castroites in Cuba, and the thugs running Venezuela, in exchange for ... nothing in return.

Why Is Joe Biden Still President? The U.S. recently passed the 1 million mark for COVID-19 deaths, a grim milestone recognized with the lowering of flags to half staff around the country. More than 60% of those deaths have come during the bungling tenure of President Joe Biden, who said in a late-October 2020 debate with Donald Trump that the president should be kicked out of the White House because of how many had died from the virus on his watch. Based on his own standard, Biden should be back in his Delaware basement. [...] Though the Democrats and the press ghoulishly held Trump directly responsible for COVID deaths during his last year in office, we think it's distasteful, and careless, to blame Biden for lives lost to the virus while he's been president. There's only so much a White House can do during a pandemic. But it's nevertheless important to point out that Biden not only set a standard that he then should have been required to live by, he also promised the American people that "I will take care of this. I will end this." It was a lie no one should have believed, a promise impossible to keep.

Hunter Biden and his firm raked in $11 million between 2013 and 2018 for his work with Burisma and a Chinese businessman accused of fraud. Hunter Biden and his firm raked in $11 million over a matter of five years from his work as an attorney and a board member of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma and his work with a Chinese businessman now accused of fraud. The findings raise questions of national security and corruption and also possible legal issues, as some wonder why the president's son was accepting work with energy firms despite no experience in the field. Documents indicate that Biden blew through the money even faster than it was coming in — expenditures found on his hard drive show that the president's son was spending an eye-popping $200,000 per month on things like luxury hotel rooms, Porsche payments, dental work and cash withdrawals from February 2017 to October 2018, according to an analysis of Hunter Biden's abandoned hard drive by NBC News.

Almost half of President Biden's Twitter followers are fake, audit reveals. Nearly half of President Joe Biden's 22.3 million Twitter followers are fake, a new analysis revealed on Wednesday [5/18/2022]. The report comes as Tesla founder Elon Musk pumped the breaks [sic] on his $44 billion purchase of the social media platform over concerns about the amount of bots active on the site. Inauthentic Twitter accounts, known colloquially as bots, operate to mimic human interaction on the platform in order to achieve a specific goal.

Just like the people who voted for him:
Audit finds half of Joe Biden's Twitter followers are fake. At least half of President Biden's 22.2 million Twitter followers are bogus, a new audit revealed. The audit, which was done for the social media giant by software firm SparkToro, found that 49.3% of the president's followers are "fake followers," according to Newsweek. SparkToro has defined "fake followers" as "accounts that are unreachable and will not see the account's tweets (either because they're spam, bots, propaganda, etc. or because they're no longer active on Twitter)." Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is currently attempting to buy Twitter, has expressed concern over the growing number of fake accounts and proposed a potential crackdown on the sham accounts.

Dinesh D'Souza says 'Our Film Proves Joe Biden is Not the President'. Dinesh D'Souza of 2000mules.com joined "The Alex Jones Show" Tuesday [5/17/2022] to break down the evidence presented in his new documentary film proving Joe Biden's election was illegitimate. In this explosive interview, D'Souza said, "Joe Biden is a usurper to the degree that it's illegal fraud organized by the left and by the Democrats to put him in office." [Video clip]

Joe Biden, Mouth-Gaping, Shuffles to Meeting with Officials, Glassy-Eyed and Mumbling to Himself after 15 Minute Flight. Joe Biden flew to Joint Base Andrews on Thursday to hold a meeting with his senior leadership on the dangers of seasonal hurricanes. It was a 15 minute flight. Joe left the White House at 1:15 PM and arrived at Joint Base Andrews at 1:30 PM. When he arrived Joe looked shot. He shuffled over to a meeting with his senior leadership to discuss the dangers of hurricanes.

Hunter Biden-Connected Firm Given a Pass for Same FARA 'Violations' Trump Associates Paul Manafort and General Mike Flynn Were Indicted On. Corrupt Hunter Biden connected firm, Blue Star Strategies, given a pass on FARA violations however, Trump confidants Paul Manafort and General Mike Flynn were sent to prison for the same. [...] This is today's justice system. All Americans know that the Justice System Barack Obama created is corrupt and biased. This is a great example.

Biden's Department of Justice CLEARS lobbying firm linked to Hunter Biden and who worked for Burisma over its foreign dealings. The Justice Department has closed a probe into a public affairs firm that did work on behalf of the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma which had Hunter Biden serving in a lucrative post on its board of directors, according to a new report. The firm, Blue Star Strategies, was not found to have committed wrongdoing, the Washington Post reported. However it did submit a filing that acknowledged it had done work on behalf of Burisma and owner Mykola Zlochevsky back in 2015 and 2016, although its earlier forms did not report it.

Joe Biden, as expected, was despicable in Buffalo. Dementia sloughs away all the nuances of personality, leaving behind and magnifying, a few core traits. Joe Biden has a documented history of being dumb, self-centered, and mean, so those traits are now worse. Add in his neo-Marxism and the result is someone who goes to Buffalo, where a mentally ill man slaughtered ten innocent people, and Biden, instead of trying to heal wounds, spouted falsehoods and calumnies to score political points. Biden is despicable. The speech was vintage Biden: squinting at the TelePrompter; weird inflections untethered to the content of his words; clownlike grimaces; and a generally creepy vibe. It's easier to read the transcript. Biden copies his mentor, Obama, by making sure he's the central topic of any speech.

Hunter Biden laptop repairman says FBI 'didn't seem interested' in reviewing hard drive. John Paul Mac Isaac, the laptop repair shop owner who serviced Hunter Biden's laptop in April 2019, is speaking out about the treatment his father received from the FBI when he attempted to inform the agency of the findings on the laptop. In an excerpt provided to Fox News Digital from his forthcoming book, "American Injustice: My Battle to Expose the Truth," Isaac describes his father's encounter with a "two-tiered justice system" that "didn't seem interested" in reviewing the laptop's contents and advised him to "lawyer up" and not discuss his findings with anyone.

Justice coming for the 'Dirty 51' Hunter Biden laptop liars. One of the most galling aspects of the Hunter Biden laptop saga is that the 51 former intelligence officials who played such a critical role in suppressing The [New York] Post's stories and giving Joe Biden cover before the 2020 election have never been brought to account. The "Dirty 51" lied by painting our stories as Russian disinformation in an Oct. 19, 2020, letter they signed and delivered to Politico five days after The Post exposé and three days before the final presidential debate of the election campaign. They used the institutional weight of their powerful former roles to legitimize partisan political propaganda designed to smear The Post and everyone associated with the story and dissuade the rest of the media from looking deeper into the laptop.

Biden's Department of Justice clears lobbying firm linked to Hunter Biden over its foreign dealings. The Justice Department has closed a probe into a public affairs firm that did work on behalf of the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma which had Hunter Biden serving in a lucrative post on its board of directors, according to a new report. The firm, Blue Star Strategies, was not found to have committed wrongdoing, the Washington Post reported.

Elon Musk slams Biden: 'The real president is whoever controls the teleprompter'. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whose purchase of Twitter remains ongoing, slammed President Biden in a podcast interview Monday and warned that if the government continues printing money, inflation will get worse and the U.S. might follow the path of Venezuela. Musk, who said he has voted "overwhelmingly for Democrats," slammed the Democratic Party and Biden in particular. He suggested that Biden is something of an empty suit. "The real president is whoever controls the teleprompter," the Tesla CEO said. "The path to power is the path to the teleprompter."

Joe Biden Connects Buffalo Mass Shooting to January 6. President Joe Biden connected the racist mass shooting in Buffalo on Saturday to the protests of Trump supporters on January 6. The president cited January 6th riots after calling all Americans to "reject white supremacy" because they were making the country look bad. "We can't allow them to distort America. The real America," Biden said, referring to the white supremacists. "We can't allow them to destroy the soul of the nation." Biden then immediately referred to January 6th. "As president of the United States, I travel the world all the time. And other nations ask me, heads of state in other countries ask me, what's going on? What [...] happened on January 6th? What happened in Buffalo," Biden said.

The Editor says...
No, Joe Biden does not "travel the world all the time." With only rare exceptions, he stays within 200 miles of the White House. When he does visit other countries, he is ignored, because the leaders of other powerful countries know what's up: Biden only thinks he's in charge.

Former Trump aide posts online a searchable database containing a huge trove of more than 120,000 emails from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop. More than 120,000 emails found on Hunter Biden's discarded laptop have been posted online by a former Trump White House staffer. Garrett Ziegler, a former aide to Peter Navarro in Donald Trump's Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, uploaded 128,775 emails to a searchable database this week through his organization Marco Polo. The site, BidenLaptopEmails.com, also allows users to download all the emails for Mac or Windows computers.

The Editor says...
If my laptop contained some of the photos and videos that Hunter Biden apparently had on his laptop, I would quickly end up in prison.

White House Claims Baby Formula Shortage a Top Priority Since February After Joe Biden Claimed Ignorance of Problem. The White House claimed President Joe Biden's administration made the baby formula shortage crisis a top priority as early as February, even though the president claimed ignorance of the problem on Thursday. "This is something he is focusing on very acutely and again I said 24/7 we've been working on this since we have learned about this back in February," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during the daily briefing about Biden, calling the issue "one of the presidents top priorities." Biden bristled when asked by reporters on Friday if he could have acted sooner to fix the crisis.

Report: Joe Biden Instructing Staff to Shift to Campaign Mode. President Joe Biden has advised his White House aides to shift into campaign mode for the midterm elections, according to a report. The president privately asked his aides to start highlighting differences between his policies and those of the Republican Party, according to Axios, citing "people familiar with the conversations." Biden himself has ratcheted up the political rhetoric, accusing Republicans of having a radical agenda that is out of touch with the middle class.

Why Are We In Ukraine? By now, it's a commonplace to observe that, in accordance with Conquest's Third Law of Politics, our country is ruled by a cabal of her enemies. [...] As Mark Antony observes during Caesar's funeral oration: "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones." Welcome to the boneyard of America. This is, alas, true regardless of whether the men themselves were of good character. Clinton wasn't, Bush more or less was, Obama isn't, and Biden is one of the worst men ever to assume the presidency: a bully, a liar, a plagiarist, a mediocrity and, at this stage of his senescence, a clear and present danger.

Inflation proves Biden has done everything wrong all at once. Our increasingly ugly inflation problem is a perfect illustration of the Biden administration's uncanny ability to get everything everywhere wrong all at once. The Biden administration's first response to any problem is to pretend that it isn't a problem. That's how inflation went from a minor problem to a major one. Unwilling to take the necessary steps to rein in inflation early — pushing the Fed to raise interest rates and slowing down the torrent of money going out the Treasury's doors — Biden and congressional Democrats at first insisted that inflation wasn't a real problem: "Transitory," they called it. And then when inflation turned out not to be transitory, they thought they could just pin it on the Russians. Jen Psaki sniffed smugly at the "Putin price hike," as though Americans were too stupid to understand that inflation at home had started long before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. That gambit fizzled, too.

Tucker Carlson Explains the Govt Created Subsidized Baby Formula Monopoly and Current Shortages. Tucker Carlson did a pretty decent job tonight [5/13/2022] outlining the current issues with shortages of baby formula and why it is specifically galling for the Joe Biden administration to claim they don't know anything about the problem they helped create. [Video clip]

Biden's FDA Has Reportedly Not Proven Any Babies Died From Baby Formula. President Joe Biden's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may have directly contributed to the ongoing nationwide baby formula shortage without proving any babies died from baby formula. The FDA announced Feb. 17 that a major Abbott Nutrition plant in Michigan, responsible for producing massive quantities of baby formula, was under investigation for links to bacterial outbreaks, including salmonella. The agency helped Abbott initiate a recall of its baby formula. Yet neither the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) nor the FDA have been able to prove that any babies got sick from Abbott's formula, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Abbott Fires Back After Alarming Psaki Claim About Their Baby Formula. The White House has been blaming the baby formula shortage on an FDA recall in February that caused the closing of an Abbott facility that made the formula. They have been doing that largely to avoid recognizing that there have been ongoing supply chain issues affecting formula supply since last year. But additionally, there have been questions about how the FDA has dealt with the alleged issues regarding the Abbott facility. A whistleblower identified concerns to the FDA in October, but the FDA didn't inspect the plant until January. In February, after four babies were hospitalized and two died, the plant was shut down out of contamination concerns. Since then, there seems to have been no rush to facilitate a process for reopening safely. It's now May, and the plant still isn't open.

Food Shortages in America? Biden Blames a War America Isn't Fighting. Did you ever believe that a day would come when an American president would be asking farmers to boost production due to food shortages? In America. Food shortages. Somehow, there's a disconnect between those words. The mind rejects them because it's a preposterous idea that a nation that grows and produces enough food to feed 10% of the planet is actually experiencing food shortages. It's the war, don't you know, claims Biden. The president, who fancies himself a wartime leader, said to a group of farmers in Kankakee, Ill., "Right now, America is fighting on two fronts. At home, it's inflation and rising prices. Abroad, it's helping Ukrainians defend their democracy, and feeding those who are left hungry." Ukraine is not America's war and America is not fighting it. Someone should whisper that in the old man's ear.

FDA, Biden 'dropped the ball' on baby formula crisis, experts say. The FDA "dropped the ball" on the country's baby-formula crisis[,] shutting down a crucial plant on top of product recalls and then not warning parents of the ramifications, experts told The [New York] Post on Friday [5/13/2022]. Desperate moms and dads have been trawling stores across the country in search of baby formula ever since mega-manufacturer Abbott issued a safety recall in February for products made at its plant in Sturgis, Mich., over contamination concerns. The Food and Drug Administration later closed the plant after federal inspectors found Abbott failed to maintain sanitary conditions and procedures there — sparking a cascade of crippling effects on the supply chain. "Somebody, whether it be Abbott or the FDA, should have realized, 'We're stopping production at one of a handful of plants that produces baby formula and what are the repercussions,'" said William Marler, a lawyer specializing in food-safety cases, to The Post.

Pop Goes the Presidency. Nice-sounding growth, job, and wage numbers do not count for much when the American standard of living is in decline. Inflation has outpaced income gains since last year. It remains at a 40-year high. Gas costs more than four dollars per gallon — sometimes much more — in every state. Americans under 40 years old are experiencing consumer delays, shortages, and scarce necessities, including baby formula, for the first time in their lives. According to the Pew Research Center, 70 percent of Americans say that inflation is "a very big problem."

Biden Maladministration Cancels Oil & Gas Lease Sales, While Demanding More Oil Production.

It takes years of investment to significantly increase production.

NYT Report: Hunter Biden Tries to Settle Justice Department Probe into Tax Fraud, Money Laundering. Hunter Biden is trying to settle the Justice Department's probe into potential tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws, the New York Times reported Tuesday [5/10/2022]. Trump-appointed U.S. prosecutor David Weiss has been weighing for months whether there is sufficient evidence to indict Hunter. But time is running short. The probe is wrapping up after years of investigation. Hunter is hoping to settle the investigation without criminal or civil charges, the Times outlined: [...]

Is President Biden Trying to Boost Inflation? After several months of uncomfortably high inflation in 2021 deflated summertime hopes that price gains would be "transitory", the Federal Reserve earlier this year began raising interest rates and just recently signaled that it will not only increase the magnitude of future rate increases (from a quarter point to half a point) but will also begin reducing its "mammoth" $9 trillion portfolio of Treasury and mortgage securities (acquired to implement "quantitative easing"). They're meeting today to confirm these plans, the goal of which is to temper domestic demand while avoiding a "hard landing" that pushes the U.S. economy into a recession. The balancing act will not be easy. Inflation figures like the consumer price index (CPI) and personal consumption expenditures price index (PCE), meanwhile, are still pretty high — especially when including volatile food and energy supplies affected by the Russia-Ukraine conflict — but they do show some signs of moderating when you strip out the noise.

Biden isn't fooling anyone — inflation is his fault and he has no solution to fix it. If you like your inflation, you can keep your inflation. Okay, Joe Biden didn't say that. But he would have if he were being honest. The president set himself an easy task Tuesday — to show a dispirited public he cares about their painful straits. As he put it, "I want every American to know that I'm taking inflation very seriously and it's my top domestic priority." Just not seriously enough to bring a single new idea to the table. Instead he fell back on tired tropes about how none of the historic increase in prices is his fault. With Biden, the buck always stops somewhere else. The two straw men he trotted out were familiar — the pandemic and the Putin Price Hike. The latter coined phrase is as ridiculous as President Gerald Ford's WIN gambit, for Whip Inflation Now, and will no doubt be just as effective economically and politically.

Slouching towards war with Russia: Biden's drift is getting dangerous. Joe Biden, the man who has been "wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades," as former defense secretary Bob Gates wrote, has nebulously put the U.S. on a path to war with Russia. Not because he wants to. But because he doesn't know what he's doing. That's the consensus of foreign policy experts as diverse as Thomas Friedman, golf buddy to President Obama, and Mark Wauck, the decorated former FBI official from its pre-wokedom era.

Joe Biden Blames Everything but Himself for Inflation in Speech Offering No New Solutions. President Joe Biden delivered another speech at the White House about inflation on Tuesday, blaming everyone but himself for skyrocketing prices. The president refused to take responsibility for inflation, arguing his trillions in dollars in government spending in 2021 were only trying to help people. "I think our policies help. Not hurt," he said to reporters when asked if he accepted responsibility for the problem.

Jill Biden's secret trip to Ukraine — going where the president refuses to go. Jill Biden made an unannounced trip across the Ukraine border today for a Mother's Day visit with Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelensky. It was the first time Mrs. Zelensky has appeared in public since Putin invaded Ukraine on February 24. Jill's trip into Ukraine makes her the highest-profile member of the Biden administration to go into the war zone. Credit when credit is due. Biden went into Ukraine, something that her husband, the President of the United States, did not do when he was in the region recently. In other words, the first lady is doing what the leader of the free world refuses to do.

The Editor says...
[#1] Jill Biden is not an elected official, so it is not accurate to describe her as a "member of the Biden administration." [#2] Perhaps part of the reason for her low-risk overseas junket is that she has a new book that isn't selling, and she needs the publicity.

The Exasperated American. A large majority of Americans now have no confidence in Joe Biden and his administration, which often polls below 40 percent, with negatives nearing 60 percent. Despite the 15-month catastrophe of his regime, the level of his own unpopularity remains understandable but still remarkable. After all, in 2020 voters already knew well of his cognitive deficits and the radicalism of his agenda. They saw both clearly starting in 2019 and during the 2020 Democratic primaries, the primary debates, and the general election. So what did Biden's voters imagine would happen when a cognitively challenged president, controlled by hard-Left subordinates, entered office — other than what he has done?

The Ruling Elites Redefined Character in order to Elect Joe Biden. On August 20, 2020 Joe Biden accepted the Democrat party's nomination for president by fatuously declaring, "Character and decency are on the ballot." Thus, directly proclaiming himself and the Democrat party as the paragons of character and decency as compared to the "vile" Donald Trump and the "racialist" Make America Great Again movement. A claim which is an unfathomable stretch of the imagination, considering Joe Biden's long and well-known history of corruption and his uncontrollable penchant for being a serial fabulist and compulsive liar. To run on this platform required not only unbridled audacity but also lockstep conformity in the regime media's coverage of Biden but also a requisite redefinition of character and decency by the entirety of the ruling class. Wallowing in their ever-growing abandonment of integrity, the regime media and the rest of the ruling elites were well aware of Biden's history of duplicity and dishonesty as well as his current mental deficiencies.

Joe Biden Pictured at Beverly Hilton the Day After Reported Meeting with Tony Bobulinski in Same Hotel. Back on October 22, 2020, Tony Bobulinski held a press conference that has since been viewed over 2 million times. Bobulinski is the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family. In his press conference, Bobulinski claimed he met with Joe Biden at the Beverly Hilton on May 2, 2017. Tony Bobulinski was joined by Hunter Biden, Jim Biden and Joe Biden and they discussed the Biden family's business plans with the Chinese. It was also during this press conference that Tony Bobulinski shared the infamous email that described the payment schedule including 10% held for the Big Guy, who is Joe Biden.

Report: Kamala Harris Listed as 'Key Contact' for Biden Family Business Venture in China. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) was reportedly listed as one of several "key domestic contacts" for a Chinese business venture proposed in 2017 by Hunter Biden and James Biden, the son and brother of former Vice President Joe Biden, respectively. [...] Last week, the New York Post revealed Hunter Biden's venture in China, citing emails in which he said that a deal could be "interesting for me and my family" and that 10% of the equity in a new firm would be "held ... for the big guy." On Wednesday evening, Breitbart News reported that one of the recipients of Hunter Biden's emails, Tony Bobulinski, confirmed that "the big guy" was a reference to Joe Biden himself.

Hollywood lawyer paid off over $2M of Hunter Biden's delinquent taxes. A big-shot Hollywood lawyer reportedly paid off Hunter Biden's delinquent taxes — which a source told The Post amounted to more than $2 million — as President Biden's notoriously troubled son awaits the results of a Delaware grand jury's investigation into his personal finances. Kevin Morris, an entertainment attorney and novelist who earned a fortune representing the co-creators of "South Park" and won a Tony Award as the co-producer of "The Book of Mormon," footed Hunter Biden's overdue taxes totaling over $2 million — more than twice what was previously reported, a source familiar with conversations between the two told The [New York] Post. Morris, whom Hunter Biden's friends call his latest "sugar brother," has also been funding the 52-year-old's lifestyle in Los Angeles — including his rent and living expenses, the source said.

When Biden's own people don't trust him to speak, we have no real president. There is nothing more symbolic of American political power than a president of the United States holding court in the Oval Office. Ensconced in that intimidating room, countless leaders have browbeaten, charmed, and cracked wise with the powerful and the press for generations. But not Joe Biden. And now we know why. According to new reporting, the reason we don't see Joe in the Oval very often is that his team can't install a teleprompter to keep the gaffer-in-chief on script. So yeah, that's where we are regarding the leader of the free world. If one really stops and thinks about this it is simply shocking. The primary job of any politician, but especially a president, is to communicate a vision of policy and competency to the American people and the people of the world.

GOP Rep. James Comer says Biden's son is a 'national security risk' and a top issue for voters. The Kentucky congressman who will lead Republican investigations if the GOP takes back the House in 2022 is lining up Hunter Biden and the 'Biden crime family' as one of the main targets. Rep. James Comer, who is primed to take over as chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, says the president's son and his business associates have many questions to answer over his foreign deals and taxes. He says the White House will also be pressed on whether the president knew about any of the transactions and believes American voters are now coming around to the fact the Hunter scandal isn't a 'conspiracy theory' and are questioning the administration's ethics and transparency.

Joe Biden to Skate on Possible Tax Evasion After His Extreme Hypocrisy Is Revealed. In news that will surprise absolutely no one, it is being reported that Joe Biden is not going to be held accountable for possibly evading taxes. That comes after the IRS rejected a whistleblower complaint alleging the president owes at least $127,000 in back taxes, with others suggesting it's as much as $500,000.

Never gets old: Biden tells false 'Joey, baby' Amtrak story for 7th time as prez. President Biden on Friday [5/6/2022] told a story involving an Amtrak conductor who supposedly grabbed his cheeks and shouted "Joey, baby!" — despite facts contradicting the tale, which Biden has told on at least six prior occasions as president. The amusing anecdote — in which Biden apes former Amtrak conductor Angelo Negri's Italian-American accent — was declared "False" last year by CNN "Facts First" journalist Daniel Dale. In some tellings, the encounter happened at the end of Biden's eight years as vice president after he crossed 1 million miles on Air Force Two. But that version is impossible because Negri, who retired in 1992, died in May 2014.

Meghan McCain and Jill Biden Together Sell Less than 500 Books in First Week of Release Date. Combined — First Lady Jill Biden and Meghan McCain didn't sell more than 500 books in their first few days being offered, proving no one cares what they think. Two abrasive women who represent the Biden gang and RINO supporters are receiving the kind of support that is expected. Combined Jill Biden and Meghan McCain haven't sold 500 books between them in their recent releases.

The night I met Hunter Biden: Mac Shop owner John Mac Isaac. It was a Friday night, 10 minutes before the shop's closing time. I was checking out a website about CNC machines and woodworking. I had no intention of working late; I was ready to go out after a long and busy week. But then bright, cool LED headlights bounced off the counter from the front window. I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes. My vision of leaving the shop quickly faded as the door chime sounded. As was usual for this time of day, I thought: "What kind of person expects quality service right before closing time?" I struggled not to roll my eyes when in stumbled a man clutching three MacBook Pros. He was about my height, six feet tall, but a little heavier. He wore casual clothing — dark blue and gray. Alcohol fumes preceded him. He slid the three laptops onto the bar counter as he fumbled for a seat.

Biden likely to avoid IRS audit that could've revealed if he made money from Hunter's deals. President Biden is likely to avoid an audit that could reveal whether he made money from his son Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings — because the Internal Revenue Service has rejected a whistleblower complaint that alleged he owes at least $127,000 in taxes, The [New York] Post has learned. The IRS allows people to inform on fellow taxpayers and win a slice of the proceeds — prompting Chris Jacobs, a former Republican staffer on Capitol Hill, to submit complaints against Biden and his accountant, though he said he didn't want any financial reward. Jacobs shared with The Post a reply from the IRS titled "denial" that explained that the government didn't use his information.

Joe Biden is So Senile That Nurse Jill Has to Point Out his Granddaughter. Joe and Jill Biden on Thursday [5/5/2022] hosted a Cinco de Mayo reception with Beatriz Gutiérrez Mueller de López Obrador, the wife of Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. As usual, Joe Biden's speech was full of gaffes. Biden insulted Latinos at the end of his Cinco de Mayo speech by saying this about Mexico: "It's not our backyard, it's our front yard[.]" "US speechwriters should avoid any reference to a "yard" when talking about Mexico/LatAm. The metaphor in Spanish isn't flattering." Editor of Mexico Today said.

Report: White House "panicked" at lack of tools to keep abortion legal. How do you end up caught off-guard, as WaPo says Team Biden was, by a Supreme Court ruling? Did they somehow miss the news that hearings were held in the Dobbs case six months ago? Did they ... not anticipate that a 6-3 conservative Court might seize the opportunity to overturn Roe? The Biden White House seems forever late in responding to events. They were still pushing Build Back Better last fall after public anxiety over inflation had begun to rise. Stephen Breyer's retirement seemed all but assured this year given the electoral reality of the midterms yet it still took Biden and his crew weeks to interview candidates before settling on Ketanji Brown Jackson. Why didn't they have someone in mind and ready to go for the likely vacancy?

Spoiler: It's because the giant teleprompter is essential in the quest to make Biden look coherent.
The Real Reason Why President Biden Use[s] the Fake White House Stage Instead Of the Oval Office. For months now, the president has drawn a lot of attention to his choice of location for public events, which many believed was "fake". Reports say the White House has built a Hollywood-style set for the president to use inside the Old Executive Office Building, complete with large-screen computers and lights, and even multiple "fake" windows. The mainstream media so far debunked these stories as false but for the first time, far-left Politico accidentally reveal the reason why President Biden use the fake White House set.

Joe Biden Makes Disgusting Statement About Trump Supporters, Lies About Possible Abortion Ruling. Following all the lunacy of the last two days revolving around the leaked draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the White House let the president out of the basement on Wednesday. What transpired was a despicable, lie-filled speech in which Joe Biden dishonestly spoke of the Supreme Court, Trump supporters, and the economy. Let's start with the clip that is currently going viral in which Biden claimed the "MAGA crowd" is the "most extreme political organization that's existed in American history." [Video clip]

Here's The Full List Of Every Lie Joe Biden Has Told As President: 152 And Counting. More than one year into President Joe Biden's time in the White House and the end to his lies is nowhere in sight. Here is part three of The Federalist's rigorous coverage keeping the Biden administration accountable with substantive fact-checking throughout the president's tenure.

Biden Says Right To Abortion Comes From Being A 'Child Of God'. President Joe Biden said that the right to an abortion comes from being a "child of God" during press remarks Wednesday [5/4/2022]. "This is about a lot more than abortion ... this reminds me of the debate with Robert Bork ... [who] believed the only reason you had any inherent rights was because the government gave them to you," he said. "I believe I have the rights that I have, not because the government gave them to me ... but because I am just a child of God, I exist," he continued. "I delegated by joining this union here to delegate some rights I have to the government for social good." [Video clip]

Man who discovered Hunter Biden's laptop announces legal action against CNN and Adam Schiff. With his livelihood poisoned by the venom of liberal politics, the computer shop owner who found Hunter Biden's former laptop computer is fighting back against those he says ruined his reputation. John Paul Mac Isaac is filing suit against Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California, CNN, The Daily Beast and Politico, claiming that false statements about him led to the destruction of a business he had worked hard to build, according to the New York Post. Mac Isaac said he was accused variously of stealing the computer or spewing Russian disinformation. The accusations came during the heat of the 2020 presidential election when the contents of the computer first became public and when the emails that were on the computer were denounced as false. Since that time, the contents of the laptop have been accepted as authentic — even by media outlets that denounced them as false at the time.

Biden Pledges To Protect Roe After Once Supporting Constitutional Amendment To Overturn It. Hours after a draft opinion of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision was leaked, showing that the overturning of Roe v. Wade is likely imminent, President Joe Biden threatened that his administration was prepared to undo the high court's ruling. "I directed my Gender Policy Council and White House Counsel's Office to prepare options for an Administration response to the continued attack on abortion and reproductive rights, under a variety of possible outcomes in the cases pending before the Supreme Court," Biden said in a statement Tuesday morning. "We will be ready when any ruling is issued."

Repairman who revealed Hunter Biden laptop sues Schiff, CNN, Politico and The Daily Beast. The Delaware computer repairman who blew the whistle on Hunter Biden's laptop — filed a multi-million-dollar defamation suit Tuesday [5/3/2022] against Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, CNN, The Daily Beast and Politico, saying they falsely accused him of peddling Russian disinformation. The former shop owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, decided to fight back after losing his business and being harassed for 18 months by Big Tech, the media and Delaware locals in President Biden's home state. "After fighting to reveal the truth, all I want now is for the rest of the country to know that there was a collective and orchestrated effort by social and mainstream media to block a real story with real consequences for the nation," the 45-year-old Mac Isaac told The [New York] Post.

Government by Punchline. It has taken just a year and a half for Joe Biden to mature into a caricature attached to a teleprompter. It is a sad state of affairs that our allies and enemies have learned not to take Biden at his word, instead withholding judgement until White House adjutants have issued clarifications, walk-backs, or reversals. Whether off on road trips or at 1600 Pennsylvania, cleaning up the fumbles and missteps is the price tag attached to a high maintenance head-of-state in constant need of memory care and a full body harness. Off the leash and detached from script, Joe Biden is much like that itinerant toddler at a church service, prone to temper tantrums and unintelligible outbursts.

"Devout Catholic" Biden on Supreme Court leak: Roe should not be overturned, 'A woman's right to choose is fundamental'. President Biden on Tuesday [5/3/2022] reacted to the leaked draft of the Supreme Court's opinion striking down Roe v. Wade, saying he believes that "a woman's right to choose is fundamental," and arguing that "basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned," while saying any potential final decision on the case by the high court should push voters "to elect pro-choice officials" during November's midterm elections. The high court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to a draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito, in an unprecedented and stunning leak from the high court. "We do not know whether this draft is genuine, or whether it reflects the final decision of the Court," the president said Tuesday morning, before the Supreme Court confirmed the authenticity of the draft. "With that critical caveat, I want to be clear on three points about the cases before the Supreme Court."

Biden warns Israel against 'freedom of worship'. The Biden administration has announced that its titular head will be visiting Israel within a few months. Biden's last high-profile visit to the Jewish State in 2010 ended with him staging a diplomatic incident and refusing to leave his hotel room for an hour to attend an event with Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israelis have little reason to be optimistic about this Biden expedition. After Muslim rioters disrupted Passover by engaging in violence at the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, the administration urged "all sides to exercise restraint, avoid provocative actions and rhetoric and preserve the historic status quo on the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount." The "provocation action" in this case is Jewish prayer. It's 2022 and the White House is warning Jews that their prayers are "provocative."

Biden's Evolving Views on Abortion: Joe Biden entered the senate in 1973, the same year the Supreme Court legalized abortion in its Roe v. Wade decision. He has evolved from being strongly pro-life to rabidly pro-abortion. Here is a list of his changing positions.
1974: A year after Roe v. Wade was decided, he said the ruling had gone "too far" and that a woman seeking an abortion should not have the "sole right to say what should happen to her body."
1976: He votes for the "Hyde Amendment" which bans federal funding of abortions.
1981: He introduces the "Biden Amendment" which prohibits foreign-aid funding of biomedical research involving abortion.
1982: He votes for a constitutional amendment allowing states to overturn Roe v. Wade.
1983: He votes against a constitutional amendment allowing states to overturn Roe v. Wade.
1984: He votes for the Mexico City Policy which bans federal funding for abortions.
1987: He becomes chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and leads the fight against Supreme Court nominee Judge Robert Bork, whom he said was opposed to Roe v. Wade.
1994: He says, "Those of us who are opposed to abortion should not be compelled to pay for them."
1995: He votes to ban partial-birth abortion.

Biden mixes up job title, says he's nation's first senator from Delaware. President Biden on Monday [5/2/2022] mixed up his job title, telling a crowd at the White House that he was the nation's first senator from Delaware when he meant to say president. Biden, who turns 80 this year, is the oldest-ever US president and Republican critics routinely accuse him of being in mental decline, citing gaffes and instances where he appears to lose his train of thought. "There have not been many of the senators from Delaware. It's a small state. As a matter of fact, there has never been one. And so I want to take advantage of making sure I introduce [a fellow Delaware native]," Biden said at a White House event marking the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month.

Ranking Oversight Republican Says GOPers are 'Having Discussions' About Impeaching Joe Biden, Calls Hunter a 'National Security Threat'. The ranking Republican on the House oversight Committee said Thursday that Hunter Biden is a "national security threat" amid mounting evidence that Joe Biden was complicit in his son's corrupt foreign business dealings. Amid concerns that the president is dangerously compromised, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo that Republicans are "having discussions" about impeaching him if they win the House majority in November. The New York Post last week reported that Biden met with his son's business partner, Eric Schwerin, in the West Wing of the White House on November 17, 2010. Schwerin was then the president of the since-dissolved investment fund Rosemont Seneca Partners. Schwerin reportedly made at least 19 visits to the Obama White House and other official locations between 2009 and 2015. In addition to Biden, Schwerin also met with various close aides of both Joe and Jill Biden while Hunter was "striking multi-million dollar deals in foreign countries, including China," Obama White House visitor logs show.

Schweizer calls for Hunter Biden independent counsel, says Garland can otherwise 'direct' DE prosecutor. Author and investigative journalist Peter Schweizer called for an independent counsel to be appointed in Hunter Biden's federal probe being litigated in Delaware. Schweizer warned that U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, a Trump appointee, can ultimately be "directed" in certain ways by Attorney General Merrick Garland. "This is a tailor-made case for an independent counsel," he told former Reagan Justice Department chief of staff Mark Levin on "Life, Liberty & Levin." "It's an investigation involving the family of the president. The attorney general is, of course, appointed by the president. And he's the one who's going to direct this U.S. attorney that has this grand jury in Delaware — so you need an independent counsel."

An uninteresting First Lady makes for a biography in which no one is interested. Here is Jill's bio in a nutshell: She dropped out of junior college, got married, and went to the University of Delaware to be an English major. She and her husband separated and she began dating Biden, then a Senator and widower with two children. Her divorce came through, she graduated with an English degree, and started working as a teacher. She and Joe married but she never adopted his boys. She got a Master of Education. And then she got another Master of Education. She taught English classes. She got her Ed.D., based on a badly written thesis (almost as bad as Michelle Obama's Bachelor's thesis), which is bizarre considering her English language background. She wants people to call her "Dr.," which is the height of narcissism. And that's it, except for the fact that she's clearly Joe's minder now, telling him when to speak and when to stay silent, and when to walk and where. That's just in front of the cameras. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors?

Joe Biden [is] Taking His Knuckleheadedness To New Levels. Joe Biden is a gaffe machine and with every day that passes, his incompetence and dishonesty become ever clearer. To list every one of his missteps, even over a seven-day period, would be incredibly arduous and would require thousands of words. Therefore, we're going to limit our detailing to two specific episodes this week. First, we have the matter of Biden's financial shenanigans and his inept attempt at hiding them. The news first broke on Tuesday morning when the Daily Mail reported a $5.2 million gap between what Mr. and Mrs. Biden reported on their income tax filings and what they disclosed in their government transparency reports. [...] The mainstream media tried their best to ignore this story, but make no mistake: This was big news and an even bigger problem for Joe Biden.

Joe Biden Stares, Slurs, And Almost Falls Asleep In Latest Live Address. If Hillary Clinton deserves to be locked up, then Joe Biden deserves to be retired to a long-term care facility. What other human being would still be in charge of his own house, let alone an entire nation? I feel no pity for Joe, who spent his entire life chasing money and power, and has now been reduced to a soulless tool of the globalist machine. [...] Although I was resistant to the idea at first, I have come around to the idea of a Kamala presidency. Detractors point out that it will be a trainwreck, but the obvious reply to that concern is that this entire administration has been nothing except one giant and unmitigated disaster. We are past worrying about trainwrecks. Instead, a Kamala presidency will only further expose Democrats and their entirely devoid agenda. She will sound as clueless as Joe, but won't have senility to blame.

Jill Biden Biography [is] a Total Flop, Sells 250 Copies in First Week. Jill Biden's biography was a total flop and only sold 250 copies in its first week on the market. According to far-left Politico, the dulling of the Biden White House isn't due to lack of talent in the press briefing room, but rather due to fulfillment of a central Biden promise: to beat Trump and make DC news boring again. And because DC is boring, sales of Dr. Jill's biography: "Jill: A Biography of the First Lady" have been a little slow. It has nothing to do with the fact that Jill Biden is tacky, uninspiring, cheated on her first husband with Joe Biden and now abuses Biden, an elderly man who is clearly suffering from dementia.

Joe Biden: "I Got Involved in Politics Because I think the Greatest Sin Anyone Can Commit is the Abuse of Power". You just can't make this stuff up. Joe Biden, the head of the Biden Crime Family, AKA, "The Big Guy" actually said he got involved in politics because he thinks the greatest sin anyone can commit is the abuse of power. Joe and Jill Biden on Wednesday [4/27/2022] hosted the Council of Chief State School Officers' 2022 National and State Teachers of the Year in the East Room of the White House. Biden told the room of teachers that he got into politics because he was sick of politicians abusing their power.

Biden Unites The Country! Nobody Wants Him As President Any More. Last December, the I&I/TIPP poll asked registered voters who they'd like to see on the Democratic ticket in 2024. A shockingly low 37% of Democrats named President Joe Biden. If Biden didn't run for reelection, only 16% wanted Vice President Kamala Harris to be on the ballot. The findings, we said at the time, are "a devastating sign of Biden's weakening support within his own party." (Google's content police found the results so upsetting that they labeled our article accurately reporting the poll results as "unreliable and harmful.") In the months following that poll, Biden gave his State of the Union speech, Russia invaded Ukraine, and COVID receded as a threat. Under normal circumstances, these events, along with ginned-up positive news from corporate media, would boost a president's approval rating.

Biden asks Congress for $33 billion in military, economic and humanitarian aid to help Ukraine fight Russia. President Joe Biden on Thursday asked Congress for an additional $33 billion in military and humanitarian assistance for the Ukraine, which officials say could fund the war there for the next five months. Biden said the previous money allocated for the Ukrainians has been spent. 'Basically we're out of money,' he said in remarks at the White House.

What Biden Said About Kids in School Will Make Parents Shiver. Joe and Jill Biden on Wednesday [4/27/2022] hosted the Council of Chief State School Officers' 2022 National and State Teachers of the Year in the East Room of the White House. As usual, Joe Biden's speech was full of gaffes as he struggled to read his teleprompter. At one point Biden called his Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, "Senator Cardona." Then Biden told the room of teachers that the children they are teaching are "not somebody else's children." Biden just blurted it out and said the quiet part out loud. "They're not somebody else's children. They're yours when you're in the classroom," Biden said. [Video clip]

Here [are] the 5 laptop [revelations] the GOP will want Joe and Hunter Biden to explain. Congressional Republicans plan to open up five avenues of investigation into Hunter Biden and his infamous laptop — and they zeroed in Wednesday on one of the first son's former business partners. The minority members of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform are laying the groundwork for a probe that would get underway if the GOP gains subpoena power by wresting control from Democrats in the November elections, as many political experts expect. Topping the list are the first son's controversial overseas business dealings — some of which involved the state-controlled Bank of China and other companies tied to the Chinese government — and their potential impact on national security, a spokesperson said.

On Hunter Biden, White House can run but it cannot hide much longer. As the old saying goes, the chickens are finally coming home to roost. The revelation that a close business associate of Hunter Biden's was granted access to the Obama-Biden White House on nearly 20 occasions is the just latest shoe to drop in a Pulitzer Prize-worthy story of power and corruption that's becoming known simply as "Biden, Inc." This new disclosure is part of the shady operation that the mainstream media ignored for years to cover for Joe Biden — is now picking up steam at the worst possible time for the president. It's a textbook case of the Washington swamp at its worst and how the politically connected cash in on family members who are elected to high office year after year. And it's high time for the Biden White House to finally start answering questions.

WH pick for Big Brother-like disinformation board spread lie about Hunter Biden laptop. President Biden's pick to lead his Department of Homeland Security's Big Brother-like Disinformation Governance Board has her own history of posting disinformation online. Nina Jankowicz, who was a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, has repeatedly cast doubt on The Post's reporting about Hunter Biden's laptop. During a series of live tweets during the presidential debate between Biden and Donald Trump in October 2020, Jankowicz had referenced the laptop. "Back on the 'laptop from hell,' apparently — Biden notes 50 former natsec officials and 5 former CIA heads that believe the laptop is a Russian influence op," Jankowicz tweeted.

The terrible unintended consequences of the Biden presidency (unless they were intended). Biden's cabinet is the most incompetent in history. The nation may never recover and the criminal cabal that put him in office is responsible. Thanks to investigative journalists Peter Schweizer and Miranda Devine, we know that Biden and his son Hunter are congenitally corrupt and are virtually owned by the Communist Party of China. They also used Ukraine as a financial playground as did the Clintons. Under the circumstances, it is not beyond the possibility that covid was part of a plan to see Trump ousted from office, to make mail-in ballots seem necessary and to destroy the Trump economy in one fell swoop. We know that Fauci and his evil pals obsessed with making viruses more dangerous have long-term ties to China, as does Biden and as do numerous other never-Trumpers in Congress.

Is Joe Biden about to get Al Caponed? Al Capone was one of the early 20th century's most infamous gangsters but that wasn't why he ended up in Alcatraz. Instead, what the feds finally got him on was tax evasion. In Joe Biden's case, although the facts are a bit different because the problem isn't one of tax evasion but one of mysteriously reported taxable income, it does appear that we may finally be getting proof that Joe was deeply involved in Hunter's overseas dealings and may have been doing influence peddling from the White House. [...] It's very clear that Biden was rolling in dough — so much so that, as some of the documents show, he was able to pay Hunter's legal bills in 2018, which totaled $737,130.61. Of that gigantic sum, $28,000 was attributed to "restructuring" Hunter's joint venture with the Bank of China, owned by the Chinese government (aka the Chinese Communist Party).

Joe Biden agreed to pay Hunter's legal bills tied to Chinese firm deal: email. President Joe Biden agreed to cover more than $800,000 in bills racked up by his son — including legal fees tied to the winding down of his controversial overseas business dealings — ahead of the 2020 election, according to an email that surfaced Tuesday [4/26/2022]. The email — and an attached spreadsheet detailing the debts — call into question Biden's repeated claim that he's never discussed son Hunter Biden's business with him. The Jan. 17, 2019, message was written by Hunter Biden's then-personal assistant, Katie Dodge, and sent to accountant Linda Shapero, founder of the Global DEEZ firm in Leesburg, Va. "I spoke with Hunter today regarding his bills," Dodge wrote. "It is my understanding that Hunt's dad will cover these bills in the short-term as Hunter transitions in his career."

Wikipedia and the media [are] suppressing info about Hunter Biden's shady business dealings. Last week, the New York Post reported that Wikipedia had deleted its page dedicated to Rosemont Seneca Partners claiming it was "not notable". A Wiki Editor told the Post that Hunter's firm is only mentioned in relation to its famous founders, Hunter Biden, Christopher Heinz, stepson of John Kerry, and Devon Archer. But "keeping it around" would cause the page to be "a magnet for conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden." The brief page was already scant in details. It mentioned the names of the founders and states that Heinz ended his business relationship with the firm in 2014 after Biden and Archer joined the board of Burisma. The article stated that in 2015, Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners lead a $30 million Series A funding round for Metabiota.

White House Dismisses Joe Biden's Meetings with Hunter's Business Partner. The White House declined to provide any explanations about President Joe Biden's meetings with his son Hunter Biden's business partner Eric Schwerin, despite the president's claim he never spoke to his son about his business dealings. Eric Schwerin, the former president of Hunter Biden's firm Rosemont Seneca, made at least 19 visits to the White House and other official locations between 2009 and 2015 for meetings with Biden staff or the Vice President himself, according to the New York Post's examination of visitor logs from former President Barack Obama's administration.

Joe's missing millions! Financial records reveal Biden had $5.2 million in unexplained income. Joe Biden agreed to pay son Hunter's legal fees for his deal with a Chinese government-controlled company, emails reveal. The revelation ties the president even closer to Hunter's overseas business dealings — and makes his previous claims that he never discussed them with his son, even less plausible. Joe was able to pay the bills after earning millions of dollars through his and his wife's companies after he left office as vice president. Some of the wave of cash came from their book deals and speaking engagements. But the president's financial filings reveal that he declared almost $7 million more income on his tax returns than he did on his government transparency reports, an analysis by DailyMail.com of the president's financial records shows.

AG Garland: 'There Will Not Be Interference' in DOJ's Hunter Biden Investigation. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday said there will "not be interference of any political or improper kind" in the Justice Department's investigation into Hunter Biden's business dealings. Senator Bill Hagerty (R., Tenn.) questioned the attorney general about the investigation into President Biden's son during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, asking whether Garland himself had been briefed on the investigation. Garland replied that the probe is being led by David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Wilmington, Delaware who was appointed by former President Donald Trump. "I'm aware of that, but he reports to you," Hagerty said. "He is supervising the investigation and I'm not at liberty to talk about internal Justice Department deliberations, but he is in charge of that investigation," Garland replied. "There will not be interference of any political or improper kind."

Biden's decline is obvious to everyone but the press. Something is wrong with President Joe Biden, and everyone knows it. [...] Is the president OK? He doesn't seem like it. On Easter Monday, a reporter at the White House asked Biden about Afghanistan. As he started answering the question, a staffer in an Easter bunny costume appeared, waving her arms in front of Biden's face and ushering him along to a different part of the event. It's funny, sure, but it's also kind of scary. Who is really running the show at the White House? The president often makes comments about what he's "allowed" to say, how many press questions he's permitted to take and which specific reporters he can call on. Who is making these decisions? Is Joe Biden the president or not?

I guess it depends what the meaning of the word 'meeting' is. For as long as I can remember, people in positions of authority have had to deal with family members who wants to exploit the name for gain. It's a huge problem in Latin America where a son or brother usually ends up with a mansion or large bank account. The latest such public figure is President Biden, who apparently never had the courage to tell his son Hunter to get a real job, or the common sense to tell him that appearances matter, i.e. don't introduce me to your business partners on public property. We just learned that the dad-son connection may have been more active that we were told. [...] Why does all this matter? First, President Biden denied knowing what his son was doing. Second, voters can forgive you for having a crazy offspring but allowing him to get rich on your name or position is another matter. Third, it is indeed possible that President Biden does not remember details given his public performances over the last few weeks.

The 25th Amendment Won't Fix Our Biden Problem. Despite widespread concern about his cognitive health, President Biden won't be removed from office pursuant to the 25th Amendment. It would require an unlikely display of integrity from his Vice President and Cabinet, plus an implausible level of bipartisanship in Congress. Moreover, the claims of politicians and pundits aside, the involuntary ouster of an unfit president isn't the purpose of the amendment. Its principal function is to guarantee that the executive branch of the government is at all times led by an official who is conscious and able to communicate.

Who Is Running This Show, Anyway? [Scroll down] Who or what is a quockerwodger? It is, my friend observed, the perfect word to describe the current president of the United States, Joe Biden, to wit, "a puppet figure or individual whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else." Everyone knows this. Who or what that "someone else" is remains something of a mystery. As I have had occasion to observe in this space and elsewhere, I am wont to refer to this puppet magisterium as "The Committee." I do not know who populates this agency or even whether it is a deliberate body or merely an anonymous aggregation of shared sentiment. [...] The puppeteer could be more adroit, but no one can doubt his presence, whoever or whatever he is.

Joe Biden and his staff met with Hunter's top business partner at the White House throughout his vice presidency, visitor logs reveal. Hunter Biden's top business partner had met with then-vice President Joe Biden in one of 19 visits he made to the White House between 2009 and 2015, according to visitor logs from the Obama administration. Eric Schwerin, former president of Hunter's now-dissolved firm Rosemont Seneca, met with Biden on November 17, 2010, just as Hunter was striking multi-million dollar deals abroad, the New York Post reported. The logs revealed that Schwerin made a total of 19 visits to the White House during Biden's vice presidency, with nine of those visits including meetings with Biden, members of his staff and members of Jill Biden's staff.

Wikipedia Removes Entry for Hunter Biden's Firm "Rosemont Seneca" Because It Risked Becoming a "Magnet for Conspiracy Theories About Hunter Biden". [Scroll down] Maybe Wikipedia doesn't want their readers to know that Rosemont Seneca invested in Ukrainian biolabs. These labs were recently identified in Ukraine and are very suspicious because labs like this were laced around the world. It hasn't been publicly reported what the labs in Ukraine were specifically doing and who was profiting from these actions.

Schweizer: Joe Biden [is] 'at the Center' of Hunter Biden Legal Issues. Breitbart News senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President Peter Schweizer said on this week's broadcast of FNC's "Sunday Morning Futures" that President Joe Biden was at the center of his son Hunter Biden's legal troubles. Schweizer, the author of Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, said, "This started out as a Hunter Biden story and is now with Joe Biden story. He is at the center. He is the planet which the moons in the family Hunter Biden and James Biden revolve."

Yes, Joe Biden met with Hunter's business partner as Veep. On the rare occasions when anyone in the press has dared to ask Joe Biden about his relationships with his son Hunter's dodgy business partners, the elder Biden has assured us that he was never involved with them and he didn't really discuss such things with his son. But more evidence has emerged showing that that was a load of malarkey. The New York Post has obtained some of the visitor logs from the Obama presidency and the documents reveal that Eric Schwerin, president of Rosemont Seneca Partners at that time, made at least nineteen trips to the White House during the Obama-Biden administration. And at least one of those trips included a sit-down meeting with Vice President Biden. For someone who didn't know anything about Hunter's business affairs, "the Big Guy" was certainly rather chatty with them.

White House Logs Show Hunter Biden's Business Partner Met With VP Biden, Senior Staff. Continuing a series of damning reports following leads revealed from the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop from hell, The New York Post's Miranda Devine and Jon Levine are out with another doozie looking at how often the now-first son's closest business partner was lurking around the White House while Biden was VP during the Obama administration. The Post's look at White House visitor logs between 2009 and 2015 found that Eric Schwerin, "Hunter Biden's closest business partner made at least 19 visits to the White House and other official locations between 2009 and 2015, including a sitdown with then-Vice President Joe Biden in the West Wing" when Schwerin was "president of the since-dissolved investment fund Rosemont Seneca Partners." This fact, of course, makes President Biden's claims that he was unaware of Hunter Biden's business dealings increasingly dubious.

Wikipedia deletes entry for Hunter Biden investment firm Rosemont Seneca Partners. Wikipedia editors removed the entry for Rosemont Seneca Partners earlier this week on the ground that it was "not notable," archived comments from its Talk Page reveal. The deletion happened Wednesday. The investment company co-founded by Hunter Biden has been at the heart of numerous questions surrounding his overseas business dealings. "This organization is only mentioned in connection with its famous founders, Hunter Biden and Christopher Heinz," said a Wiki editor identified only as Alex who additionally warned that "keeping it around" ran the risk of the page becoming "a magnet for conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden." Arguments to merge the story with Hunter Biden's official wikipedia page were also overruled.

Biden surpasses Jimmy Carter as the most incompetent steward of the American economy. President Joe Biden has accomplished in just 14 months what many thought was impossible — surpassing President Jimmy Carter as the most incompetent steward of the American economy. Biden just broke another record, leaving Americans saddled with 8.5 percent inflation — energy alone is up 32 percent since last year. [...] President Biden's actions to date appear to be directly taken from President Carter's playbook. Excessive spending and anti-supply-side policies have contributed to the worst inflation since the Carter era.

Maybe she likes being first lady too much. It's nice to see that I am not the only one in the country who is talking about First Lady Jill Biden and elder abuse. It's hard for me to see the president of the U.S., and that's what he is, without wondering what his wife must think about all this. [...] I guess Air Force One must be really nice. A normal lady would have said something to the Democrats who focused on Joe after the early debates proved that President Trump would easily defeat the likes of Beto, Warren, and Kamala. Yes, she would have reminded them that Joe is not up to it, that he is old, not a man up to the pressures of the office. She would have opposed the whole thing because she loved her husband too much to see the humiliating scenes we are watching on TV.

Jordan: 'There Are 4.8 Million Reasons' Why Biden [is] Not Being Upfront About His Family's Wealth. Wednesday on FNC's "The Ingraham Angle," Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) discussed President Joe Biden and the Biden administration downplaying allegations his family profit off of his office. Jordan referred to money the younger Biden allegedly received from foreign interests. "Well, particularly that statement where he said, I don't think you should get wealthy just because you're in high office," he continued. "Well, there are 4.8 million reasons why that statement's not true, not accurate because that's what his son got paid. And we now know based on these text messages and emails that it was a family enterprise." "That's what Hunter Biden got paid from this Chinese energy company, CEFC, $4.8 million, hundreds of thousands of dollars each and every month coming to him and his uncle part of the family enterprise," Jordan continued. "

Joe Biden met with Hunter Biden business partner at the White House. Hunter Biden's closest business partner made at least 19 visits to the White House and other official locations between 2009 and 2015, including a sitdown with then-Vice President Joe Biden in the West Wing. Visitor logs from the White House of former President Barack Obama reviewed by The Post cast further doubt over Joe Biden's claims that he knew nothing of his son's dealings. Eric Schwerin met with Vice President Biden on November 17, 2010 in the West Wing, when he was the president of the since-dissolved investment fund Rosemont Seneca Partners. The logs also reveal that Schwerin met with various close aides of both Joe and Jill Biden at key moments in Hunter's life when he was striking multi-million dollar deals in foreign countries, including China. Yet President Biden has long insisted he had no involvement in his son's foreign affairs. "I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings," he said in 2019.

Biden Flew Across the Country to Talk About Climate Change. President Joe Biden made a special trip from Washington D.C. to Seattle on Friday to mark Earth Day and to tout his climate change agenda. [Tweets] Air Force One emits 8.75 pounds of carbon per mile. The distance between D.C. and Seattle is approximately 2700 miles, clocking in a round trip at 23,625 pounds of carbon emissions. During his remarks, Biden said his administration plans to transform the military and turn U.S. forces away from fossil fuels. "We're gonna start the process for every vehicle in the United States military, Every vehicle is going to be climate friendly," Biden said. [Tweet] Earlier this week Climate Czar John Kerry expressed the importance of not allowing fossil fuel use to grow. He did not mention his regular use of a private jet or dozens of trips across the ocean to discuss climate change with foreign leaders.

The Editor says...
Airplanes do not emit carbon. They may emit carbon dioxide, but that's not carbon.

Biden's Earth Day Remarks Show Just How Much He Is Deteriorating. First, we'll note that it took Biden's [Seattle] visit to do something about the homeless problem near the Westin Hotel where Biden was staying. Local media reported they removed two homeless camps nearby. According to the mayor's office, the camps were cleared "to ensure safety" for Joe Biden. Oh. How nice. It would be nice if they would care about the safety of the residents of Seattle, as the problem has burgeoned out of control. This is just a face-saving temporary measure, unfortunately, as the camps will likely be back. But that was the good part. Then came Biden's remarks. He went into word salad on our "natural wonders." But his word salad is different from that of Kamala Harris, because his brain seems to break mid-sentence, while she just goes on and on, saying essentially the same thing.

Jill Biden's Criminal Elder Abuse Is Going to Ruin Us All. We knew during the 2020 presidential campaign that Joe Biden was in decline. It was difficult to get a bead on exactly how mushy his brain had gotten for a couple of reasons. The first is that even at the peak of his mental acuity when he was younger, Joe Biden was far from being the sharpest tool in the shed. The second is that the pandemic gave his handlers and his nakedly ambitious wife an opportunity to hide him in his basement for most of the campaign. Once he was installed in the Oval Office it wasn't that easy to keep Ol' Gropes away from the eyes of the public anymore. There are two kinds of eyes that have been watching him for the past 15 months: those that are greatly disturbed by what we see and those that keep deluding themselves into thinking Grandpa Joe is just fine.

Secret Service: No idea who visits Biden in Delaware. As we learned earlier this year, Joe Biden spent 28% of the days of his first year in office at his two mansions in Delaware. On top of that, he exempted his Delaware homes from being listed in the White House visitor logs, so there was no way for the media to know precisely who might have been visiting him or what may have been discussed. The New York Post wasn't very happy with that state of affairs and decided to see if there might be some other way to obtain the information, keeping with the spirit (if not the letter) of the Presidential Records Act. Surely there was somebody who had a record of the comings and going's at Biden's luxurious homes, right? That's when they came up with the idea of submitting a FOIA request to the Secret Service. They had to know the identity of everyone who made it past the gates. Well, the Secret Service has responded, but they say they don't have any such records.

Secret Service claims it has 'no records' of who visits Biden in Delaware. The US Secret Service has dubiously claimed to The [New York] Post that it has "no records" of visitors to President Biden's two Delaware residences and therefore cannot divulge that information in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. Biden was at his residences in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach on about one-quarter of all days during his first year in office, but little is known about who stopped by for official meetings or less formal lobbying efforts — such as by members of his family and their associates. The Post sought more than one year of visitor log records, including for Biden's first year in office, but Secret Service Freedom of Information Act officer Kevin Tyrrell wrote in a response dated Monday that "[t]he Secret Service FOIA Office searched all Program Offices that were likely to contain potentially responsive records, and no records were located."

Who exactly was Biden talking to during his many stays in Delaware? When a man becomes president, he suddenly gains a new appendage: the Secret Service. Wherever he goes and whatever he does, members of the Secret Service are there, keeping an eye on him. And, like all bureaucracies, you can be sure that the agents are required to document everything on their watch. That's why it's truly peculiar that, in response to a FOIA request from the New York Post to see documents identifying Joe Biden's visitors during his regular stays in Delaware in 2021, the Secret Service is claiming that it has no records with that information. The New York Post was curious about what goes on at Biden's Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach residences in Delaware because he spent roughly 25% of his first year not in the White House, but at those residences. For that reason, the Post asked for documents recording all visitors during more than a year of Biden's time in office. And that's when the Secret Service provided a bizarre response: [...]

The Editor says...
Who is most likely to have visited Joe Biden in Delaware? The White House team wouldn't keep this information secret unless the most frequent visitors were somebody with a lot of influence, but not officially a part of the "Biden" administration, whose frequent presence would be an embarrassment if it were known: e.g., Valerie Jarrett, Barack H. Obama, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, George Soros, Hillary Clinton.

Joe Biden Doesn't Know How Long He's Been President, Claims he Wrote the Infrastructure Law. Joe Biden on Thursday traveled to Portland, Oregon to talk about infrastructure and improvements. Biden is underwater in Oregon, a state he supposedly won in 2020. 63% have a negative opinion about Joe Biden according to a new Oregon Public Broadcasting poll. Biden's speech was full of lies and gaffes, as usual.

The Former Intel Officials Who Claimed Hunter Biden's Laptop Was 'Disinformation' Are At It Again. Former national security officials who claimed the reported contents of Hunter Biden's laptop during the 2020 presidential election appeared to be "Russian disinformation" announced opposition Monday to legislation targeting Big Tech, claiming it would facilitate the propagation of Russian "lies." Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former Secretary of Defense and CIA Director Leon Panetta, and former CIA Director Michael Morell were among those who said in a Monday open letter that bipartisan antitrust legislation targeting tech companies would cripple efforts to counter Russian disinformation. Several antitrust bills proposed in both chambers of Congress last year are designed to limit alleged anticompetitive conduct by tech companies, including by preventing online platforms from "discriminating" against users, which the former intelligence officials argue would allow "foreign adversaries to gain access to the software and hardware of American technology companies."

Top Oversight Republican Demands Twitter Preserve Communications About Hunter Biden's Laptop. The top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is demanding that Twitter preserve all communications related to its October 2020 decision to ban a New York Post story based on materials from Hunter Biden's laptop. The New York Post published a story on Oct. 14, 2020, reporting a meeting between Hunter Biden, a top Burisma Energy executive, and Joe Biden based off of emails from Hunter Biden's laptop. Twitter locked the New York Post out of its account and refused to reinstate the outlet unless it deleted tweets promoting the story. The social media giant cited its hacked materials policy, despite no proof that the laptop was hacked by any entity.

How did Biden get a ghost gun to the White House? President Biden showed off a ghost gun kit at the White House on April 11 for his new regulations for these pieces of metal. Ghost guns are illegal to possess in the District of Columbia. While the White House is federal property, how did the kit get into the president's hands?

Listen To Biden's Staff As They Scream In Desperation For Reporters To Leave Biden's Presence While He Refuses To Take Questions. President Biden met with senior defense advisers on Wednesday, including Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley. The meeting with the high-ranking defense officials comes amidst escalating tensions with China over a potential invasion of Taiwan. As the meeting closed, reporters tried to question President Biden about the volatile situation, but his staff shouted them down. [Video clip]

Biden Refuses to Take Questions as Staff Scream at Reporters to Leave the President Alone. President Biden met with senior defense advisers on Wednesday [4/20/2022], including Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley. The meeting with the high-ranking defense officials comes amidst escalating tensions with China over a potential invasion of Taiwan. As the meeting closed, reporters tried to question President Biden about the volatile situation, but his staff shouted them down. [Video clip]

Democrats are in dreamland if they think Biden can run and win again in 2024. President Joe Biden has reportedly told former President Barack Obama that he intends to run for re-election in 2024. He wanted to be president for decades, so his desire to keep the Oval Office is unsurprising. But the case for a second term is quite weak — and voters know it even if Democrats in dreamland don't. Inflation is at its worst in 40 years, erasing wage growth. Crime is surging in many major cities. Employers are struggling with labor shortages. Illegal immigration could top 2 million encounters this year, amid a border crisis that has been spiraling out of control since virtually the moment Biden took office. The last time a Democrat ran for re-election under similar circumstances, he lost 44 states and the party didn't sniff the White House for 12 years.

The Democrat Plan to Stop Joe Biden. The Democrat Party is much more worried about stopping Joe Biden than whatever Republican he might end up facing in 2024. Everyone expects Biden not to run, but no one told him that. Biden keeps talking about running again and it's not a joke. After spending two generations clawing his way to power, the guy who would have been one of the youngest presidents when he first tried to make a dash at the big job, is not about to just walk away whistling to Delaware. The Democrats have become a gerontocracy of dementia patients with the party trying to push Senator Dianne Feinstein, 88 years old, and Rep. David Scott, 76, to the exit after reports that they appear out of it. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 82, has vowed to run again and so have her number two and three, Steny Hoyer, 82, and James Clyburn, 81, who got Biden the party's nomination, making it rather difficult to dump Biden on account of being old or out of it. The real issue comes from the poll numbers which are catastrophic for Biden and the Dems.

It's Not Just Joe Biden. The United States Has A Potemkin Government. Joe Biden's shameful performance at the White House Easter egg roll Sunday was another strong visual indicator that he is not really governing this country. And he's not the only sham authority in this country — our nation is replete with them. [...] This is not just in the symbolic farce of regime actions such as placing a man who claims to be a woman in charge of what is supposed to be a health agency, and installing into the presidency a man whose incompetence is so dangerous to national security and international order he is prevented from speaking publicly by a fierce Easter bunny.

The Regime Media's Quandary: By Exposing Joe Biden They Exonerate Donald Trump. In August of 2019, Politico International, in a lengthy article, traced the beginning of the "Biden Family Enterprise" back to 1973, Joe's first year in the Senate. Freshman Senator Biden adamantly demanded and was appointed to a seat on the Senate Banking Committee. Soon thereafter, his brother James, then a 23-year-old business neophyte with a net worth of less than $10,000, decided to open a nightclub. Per a bank officer, James used the Biden family "connection" to obtain $165,000 ($1.1 million in 2022 dollars) in mostly unsecured loans from a failing Delaware bank. Within less than 18 months the venture started to unravel, and James was unable to make the loan payments. Joe intervened with the bank's Chairman to make certain the bank did not harass James for payment or foreclose on the nightclub. Miraculously, James was able to find another bank, which was on the Federal Reserve watch list, that gave him a $500,000 ($2.6 million in 2022 dollars) loan. Around the same time Joe Biden met with that bank's senior vice-president on "other matters" — no doubt a coincidence. The nightclub venture soon failed, leaving behind a trail of lawsuits and unpaid loans and debts. The Bidens sanctimoniously proclaimed that Joe and his status as a U.S. Senator had nothing to do with James getting the loans. The fact that Joe served on the Senate Banking Committee (which oversees bank regulatory agencies) and his 23-year-old brother with no business experience received extraordinary — actually, unheard-of — loans from two banks under scrutiny by the government was, no doubt, also a mere coincidence.

McEnany: How Can Biden Run For A Second Term If He Needs The Easter Bunny To Save Him From Reporters? Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany questioned how President Joe Biden can run for a second term if he can be so easily led by someone dressed in an Easter Bunny costume. McEnany's comments on Tuesday's [4/19/2022] episode of Fox's "Outnumbered" come as footage of Biden shows him being "whisked away" after a crowd asked about Afghanistan during the White House's Easter Egg roll on Monday. Biden can be seen and heard saying, "Pakistan should not... and Afghanistan should be..." before the Easter Bunny promptly draws him away from the reporters.

Study: How Big Tech Tried to Kill the Hunter Biden Story. Twitter and Facebook worked in lockstep to restrict the flow of the Hunter Biden laptop story just before the 2020 presidential election. These platforms stifled the spread of that story at the same time that Big Media did, as MRC research found. Facebook's suppression broke the platform's own fact-checking policy, and Twitter's attempt to cancel the story so outrageously violated content moderation norms that it drew criticism from the likes of leftist Poynter Institute fact-checkers. Even then-Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey criticized his platform after the fact. Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone announced the platform had preempted third-party fact-checks on the Hunter Biden story the day it broke on Oct. 14, 2020, and limited its spread moving forward. Stone has a long history working directly for Democrats, and Facebook's hair-trigger, broad-brush blackout blatantly broke the platform's content moderation policy.

Biden and Putin Are in Business Together, Thanks to the Iran Deal. In 2016, the Hillary Clinton campaign devised a plan to smear her rival and deflect attention away from her self-sabotaging use of a private email server — they got the press and FBI to say that Donald Trump had been compromised by Putin. In 2020, the media and former U.S. spy chiefs protected Biden's campaign by loudly and falsely claiming that [condemnatory] evidence of his family's ties to corrupt foreign enterprises and officials found on Hunter Biden's laptop was "disinformation" leaked by Putin's spy services. Both attempts to blame Putin for the Democratic Party's own messes were false. And now the White House claims that the historic levels of inflation and surging food and energy prices that have turned voters against Biden are Putin's fault. Never mind the insane amounts of money the U.S. government has been printing since the outbreak of COVID, or Biden's decision to kill the Keystone pipeline on day one of his term and tell domestic energy producers to go jump off a bridge. These are Putin's price hikes!

The Most Popular President in US History Speaks to Paltry Crowd in New Hampshire. Joe Biden, the most popular president in US history, spoke to a paltry crowd in New Hampshire on Tuesday [4/19/2022]. 79-year-old Joe Biden traveled to New Hampshire and visited the Port Authority at Portsmouth Harbor. The Democrat-media complex claims Biden got 81 million votes in 2020, yet virtually no one turned out to see him speak in a state he supposedly won. Joey delivered remarks on his infrastructure law that funded a project to widen the Harbor's turning basin and as usual his speech was a total disaster. Biden blamed Vladimir Putin for high inflation rates and falsely claimed the price of gasoline was a "discussion at the kitchen table" when he was a child.

Around 10 People Came To See The President Who Won "80 Million Votes". President Joe Biden visited New Hampshire on Tuesday [4/19/2022] to discuss the infrastructure law. The president visited the New Hampshire Port Authority along Portsmouth Harbor, where he talked about investing in ports and waterways. [...] We can count at least 25 from the picture but at least 15 of them are press corp! Even after lifting most of the covid restrictions Biden's crowd remains embarrassing!

The Editor says...
Look at the picture again. Everybody's white! If Donald Trump spoke to an all-white crowd, would that not be front-page news?

Trump Supporters Line the Street to Greet Joe Biden in New Hampshire. Slow Joe, the most popular president in US history on Tuesday traveled to New Hampshire and visited the Port Authority at Portsmouth Harbor. 81 million vote recipient Joe Biden was greeted by Trump supporters in a state he supposedly won in 2020. Joe Biden has virtually no supporters. Trump supporters held signs that read 'Let's Go Brandon' and 'Who put Cornpop in charge of infrastructure?'

The Editor says...
Which is more likely: [#1] Joe Biden got 81 million votes, and only ten of those voters have any desire to see him in person, or [#2] Joe Biden didn't really get 81 million legitimate votes? Events like this go a long way toward proving that the 2020 election was stolen.

Biden's Family Scandal: Never Underestimate the Power of Blackmail. The Hunter Biden coverup continues to unravel and, as it does, questions about the president's involvement become harder to dodge. Hunter's nefarious dealings with what at the time was China's largest energy company, CEFC, are well-documented, as are his questionable activities in Russia and Ukraine. The concept is known as influence peddling, a smarmy practice refined to an art form in "the swamp." Hunter Biden's "take" from Russia while his father was vice president was reportedly at least $3.5 million, for which he did nothing but be Joe Biden's son. Now, Joe Biden is president of the United States and is directly accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of war crimes and genocide in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The possibility of blackmail is undeniable. Hunter Biden never provided any substantive service to his foreign patrons. He was widely known to be a spoiled, profligate son of privilege. All Hunter Biden ever peddled to China, Russia and Ukraine was access to his father, then vice president of the U.S. Hunter not only compromised his father but set him up for blackmail.

With Around $20 Billion in Aid to Ukraine — How Much Was Provided to Ukraine and How Much Went to "The Big Guy"? This is what happens when corrupt politicians steal the White House. The American people have no idea who is running the show behind the scenes of the Biden regime. Americans know that the Bidens were involved in Ukraine in financial deals in the past so does this still continue? We know that Hunter Biden was on the Board of a Ukrainian company along with his friend connected to John Kerry. They made millions being on the Burisma Board despite knowing nothing about oil and gas. They did not even speak the native Ukrainian language. When a local prosecutor began looking into Hunter's arrangement, Joe Biden had the prosecutor removed and fired. Then he bragged about it later in front of an audience. Well [...], now Biden is back in the business of sending billions to Ukraine. After his previous corruption in the country, how can any American trust that the dollars Biden is awarding to Ukraine will ever get there? This is a serious question.

Joe Biden Directly Confirms He's Running for a Second Term. To this point, Joe Biden has danced around the idea of running for a second term. His handlers have indicated that he plans to while leaving the door open for other circumstances to arise. When the president himself has spoken on it, he's been even vaguer, mentioning his health and suggesting that Donald Trump possibly running again would be a deciding factor. A firm commitment has been largely elusive. According to The Hill, though, Biden has committed to staying in the game. The president made those comments to Barack Obama during the latter's recent White House comeback tour. [...] What if Trump isn't the GOP nominee, though? Will Biden bow out gracefully? The problem is that he can't know who the nominee will be until the primary season is over, which means he will have already committed himself to the general election. Given that, all this obsession over Trump is bonkers.

Report: Joe Biden Told Barack Obama He Will Run in 2024 to Defeat Trump. President Joe Biden reportedly told Barack Obama he will run for reelection in 2024 to defeat Donald Trump. Despite his low approval rating, Biden believes he is the only Democrat who can defeat Donald Trump if he also decides to run, two sources told the Hill. Biden's plans to campaign for a second term confirm his previous statements. If Biden does run, he will be in his early 80s, an old age for a tough presidential campaign. "I believe he thinks he's the only one who can beat Trump. I don't think he thinks there's anyone in the Democratic party who can beat Trump and that's the biggest factor," a source familiar with the Biden and Obama conversation said.

Smoking guns: Joe Biden referred business and mingled finances with son Hunter, messages show. President Joe Biden was more involved in Hunter Biden's financial and business dealings than previously acknowledged, allowing his son to pay some of his bills, diverting one of his tax refunds to his son, rubbing elbows with the first son's foreign clients and even directly referring a friend who wanted to "do some work" with his son, according to email and text messages reviewed by Just the News. Jeff Cooper "asked for you," Joe Biden texted his son, sending along the phone number of a well-to-do trial lawyer and longtime Joe Biden donor. "Wants to do some work with you. Love Dad." The summer 2018 message is one of the clearest pieces of evidence gathered by FBI and congressional investigators that Joe Biden was not simply a passive bystander in his son's globe-trotting business pursuits, but rather at times assisting and benefiting financially, the messages show.

Democrats Are Blocking Republican Efforts To Digitally Upload Hunter Biden's Laptop. Democrats are blocking Republican efforts to upload the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop in a searchable digital format into the congressional record, the Daily Caller has confirmed. House Judiciary Committee Democratic staff, which is responsible for entering documents into the record, is refusing to upload the laptop by citing technological limitations. Instead, they're forcing Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz's office to print hard copies and PDF-form documents of pages. Democrats maintained the stonewall even after Gaetz's office offered to provide the proper equipment to enable the digital file transfer, the Daily Caller has learned. Gaetz initially moved to enter the laptop during a March 29 hearing, but committee chairman Jerry Nadler of New York prepared to object to Gaetz's request. Nadler ultimately relented after conferring with a committee lawyer. However, staffers he appointed are refusing to facilitate a file transfer.

Rep. Andy Biggs: Without information, Hunter Biden scandal looks like a 'cover-up' Video. House Oversight Committee member Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., discusses the Hunter Biden laptop scandal and the latest on the Durham Investigation. [Video clip]

Biden Whines About What 'They' Won't Let Him Do and Then It Gets Worse. It was a tough day for Joe Biden at the Easter Egg roll on Monday. As we saw, he was ordered around both by the Easter Bunny — who turned out to be one of the people from the Comms department, Meghan Hays — and by his own wife, Jill, who was instructing him to "stay" after they were done reading and to "wave" from the balcony with the two Easter Bunnies. [...] The deal seemed to be that Jill Biden was going to read the story to the kids but he was just going to sit there. But then Joe groused about not being allowed to read by the powers that be, "They're not going to let me read," he whined, like a five-year-old not getting the toy he wanted at the store. Then Jill relented and allowed him to read the first page, handing him the book, where he then talked about "reading it backward." After reading the first page, he then turned it back over to her.

Joe and Jill Biden Paid Less Taxes in 2021 than 2020 Despite Earning More Income. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill paid less federal taxes in 2021 than in 2020, despite the couple earning more income in 2021. In 2021, Joe and Jill Biden reported $610,702 in earned income and paid 24.6 percent in federal taxes. In the year prior, they reported $607,336 in earnings. Despite the nearly $4,000 increase in income, the Biden family paid almost $7,000 less in federal income tax for 2021. The Bidens paid a $157,414 tax bill in 2020, compared to $150,439 in federal taxes for 2021. The couple also paid $30,765 in Delaware state taxes, and Jill Biden paid $2,721 in Virginia state taxes, according to the couple's joint tax return.

Caught at Last?! Texts Show Hunter, Joe Discussed Hunter's Business. Biden famously (or infamously, depending on how you look at it) claimed that he never discussed business with his son, Hunter Biden, saying in 2019 that "I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings." Psaki backed him up on that and affirmed his message that he didn't discuss what Hunter was up to with Hunter, something as unbelievable as the claim that Biden is mentally fit for the presidency. She, responding to a question about it during a press conference, said: "The president does not discuss business dealings with family members and otherwise I'm not going to respond to Rudy Giuliani's lawyer" Well, those lies have been exposed yet again, this time by text messages obtained and reviewed by Just the News.

Hunter Biden's Laptops Scandal Exposes How Communist Influence Operations Work. To understand China's influence campaigns on foreign soil, one has to get familiar with a secretive Chinese government agency, the United Front Work Department (UFWD), or United Front. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) established UFWD in the 1930s, aiming to recruit famous intellectuals, writers, teachers, students, publishers, and business leaders who were not necessarily Communists. [...] UFWD workers are assigned to many government branches inside and outside China, including almost all Chinese embassies, which now include staff formally working with United Front. The UFWD is tasked with helping the CCP aggressively and yet covertly dictate its messages and narratives about China. UFWD's goal is to gather information and either win over or co-opt support for the CCP. It is to attack and neutralize potential dissent and opposition inside and outside China.

Will Biden Even Finish His 1st Term? One In Five Say 'No' — I&I/TIPP Poll. As President Biden's approval rating continues to plumb new depths, even some members of his own Democratic Party have begun to ask the once unthinkable: Will Joe Biden last through his first term in office? Such a question might have seemed a bit over the top, as Biden only entered office in January of 2021. But, after a year of record inflation and gasoline price hikes, devastating COVID lockdowns, a surge of illegal immigration, the botched departure from Afghanistan, and growing questions over the 79-year-old president's mental fitness, a surprising number of Americans now think Biden won't last even another two and a half years in office, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Poll. The poll asked adults: "In your opinion, how likely is it that Joe Biden will complete his first term in office?" Predictably, most Americans (71%) said Biden was likely to last through his four years. But 21%, or one in five, said it was "not likely" he would last.

'Horrific Pedophilic Images' Found On Hunter Biden Laptop — Forensic Analyst Reveals Images Of Child Abuse of 'Worst Kind'. Hunter Biden's laptop from hell contains child abuse images and video of the "worst kind", according to Kim Dotcom who revealed a forensic analyst has to take "frequent breaks because of how disgusting the evidence is." Dotcom teamed up with Wikileaks and a DNC whistleblower he claims was Seth Rich to play a major role in ensuring Hillary Clinton and the Democrats did not seize power in the 2016 election. Now he has set his sights on exposing what he describes as "the crimes of the Biden family."

How History Will View the Biden Years. Whether due to age, cognitive decline or general ineptitude, Joe Biden has not been able to lead America. Nobody wants a weak president. People can smell weakness, and Biden reeks of it. The president put himself in a further hole by surrounding himself with a young staff driven more by a rigid, left-wing ideology than a desire to help the lives of everyday Americans. With a leader seemingly too weak to temper his team's radical ideas, the results have been catastrophic. Even with a corporate media desperate to keep propping him up, Biden's approval ratings are at all-time lows.

Our Geriatric Political Class Needs To Go. Yesterday [4/14/2022] Joe Biden gave a speech that ended like this. He is a frail, elderly man obviously suffering from dementia: [Video clip] Joe Biden had been, for decades, a corrupt and incompetent pol. Today, he is either an extreme left-winger or an empty vessel through which the extreme left is exerting control over America. Nevertheless, I feel sorry for him. It is hard to understand how those close to him, starting with his wife, can allow him to be so constantly humiliated. It is nothing less than elder abuse.

One Million Dollars for the leaker of Joe's cognitive test. Joe Biden is cognitively impaired. He gets confused as to where he is, who he is, and what he is. He forgets the names and circumstances around him. He refuses to keep to his teleprompter script, and refuses to recognize how much he should. Truculently and combatively, he blames reporters and calls them "stupid" — even friendly ones — for merely asking good questions to which he has no intelligible answers. If I didn't despise Biden's policies, personality, greed, girl-fondling, criminal son, ethics, dishonesty, hair plugs, and ladder-climbing "doctor" wife, I'd feel sorry for him. But I do, and so I don't. The president of the United States gets good medical care. Joe's weird outbursts point obviously to a medical condition. Any doctor — OK, maybe not an Ed.D. but certainly any real one — would say his condition suggests a decline in cognitive ability consistent with senility, dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

Quinnipiac poll shows Biden approval at -37 among young adults. These numbers are so gruesome that some professional pollsters simply refuse to believe them. "Young people simply did not get 40 points more Republican relative to the nation as a whole over the span of 2 years," tweeted G. Elliott Morris about the new Quinnipiac survey, pointing to the fact that Biden is -37 here among young adults but +2 among senior citizens.

Biden Does It Again — Falsely Claims He Was A 'Full Professor' At [an] Ivy League University. We all remember when Biden told us that he had been a truck driver in his youth, only to find out that it was a lie. Then there was that time he said his family had almost died in a house fire, and that was also [false]. We can also remember when Biden had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race because of plagiarism and lying about his academic record, wrongfully claiming he had graduated near the top of his class at the University of Delaware when in reality he was in the bottom half. And then yesterday, we had this lulu: [...]

Banking With the Bidens: Texts, Emails Reveal Hunter's Hands in Everyone's Money. President Biden's sister, Valerie Biden Owens, is currently making the mainstream media rounds to sell her new book (and a fresh line of bull). The Growing Up Biden author said in a recent interview that she "assumed from the beginning that the former president and his entourage would attack my brother by going and attacking the family." Blame Trump. A Biden-family, Democratic Party go-to. But how much longer can Owens and those like her pivot when stories like this are dropping daily, reaffirming what Peter Schweizer and members of the New York Post have been saying for years. Messages off The Laptop From Hell™ show that the Biden family finances were incredibly entangled, with Hunter Biden at the helm and Joe in the know.

Whitey Bulger's nephew played key role in Hunter Biden's Chinese business ventures. James "Whitey" Bulger's nephew, Jim Bulger, was a business associate of Hunter Biden, and according to emails obtained and reviewed by Fox News Digital, appears to have played a key role in a number of his Chinese business ventures. Whitey Bulger was a notorious Boston crime boss, who became one of the nation's most-wanted fugitives after fleeing Boston in late 1994. He was captured in 2011. Bulger was serving a life sentence for 11 murders and other crimes when he died in prison in October 2018. In addition to being Whitey's nephew, Jim Bulger is the son of William "Billy" Bulger, who served as president of the Massachusetts State Senate for eight years. Billy Bulger was an ally of John Kerry when he served in the Senate. Kerry's stepson, Christopher Heinz, co-founded Rosemont Seneca with Hunter Biden and Devon Archer.

Biden's Gaffes Are Becoming a Crisis. Do a president's words count, or not? If a president keeps making declarations that bear no relationship whatsoever to actual administration policy, he is at best irrelevant. But President Biden's many verbal slip-ups and ad-libs can be expected to enrage Vladimir Putin and make him redouble his efforts when the United States should be exerting effort in the other direction, to encourage Putin to de-escalate. We've just learned that when President Biden called Vladimir Putin's acts "genocide" the remark didn't really count, any more than it counted when Biden called Putin "a war criminal," (never mind, said his staff).

Chinese Partners Financed Bidens' Spending Spree While Bidens Sought Visa Help for Them. On the same day their China-regime-connected partners transferred $99,000 for a Biden family spending spree, the Biden family pressed a former Obama administration official to help their Chinese partners obtain U.S. visas. The Justice Department is investigating the mutual back-scratching and its context. Indications are that what is commonly referred to as the Justice Department's "Hunter Biden tax investigation" — now that such references are no longer taboo — is about more than potential tax violations and, for that matter, more than Hunter Biden. President Biden's brother and sister-in-law, Jim and Sara Biden, were also deeply involved in the family's lucrative relationship with CEFC — a now-defunct conglomerate headed by a one-time protégé of Xi Jinping, the now-"disappeared" Ye Jianming. Moreover, Joe Biden himself is implicated by evidence that he may have been a 10 percent stakeholder.

WSJ: Biden's lying about inflation — and workers know it. Nothing paints Joe Biden and fellow Democrats so out of touch as their lame rhetoric about inflation being "Putin's price hike." The editorial board of the Wall Street Journal brings the receipts on the true origins of the inflationary wave, and not just the origins but the impacts felt in every American household. While the recent global effects have had an impact, rapid inflation began a year ago — and so did the erosion of American income.

Jim Jordan vows to expose Joe's role in corrupt Biden 'family enterprise'. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) joined Fox News' "Fox and Friends" Tuesday and said he believes President Joe Biden was most certainly involved in his son Hunter's business dealings with foreign entities though the president predictably continues to deny it. His statement comes on the heels of a House Oversight Committee's call for further investigation into the text messages allegedly stored on Hunter Biden's infamous laptop that was abandoned to a Wilmington, DE, repair shop in 2019. Also of interest are emails in which the 52-year-old complained of having to spend half of his salary to cover his father's bills and other expenses. Both discoveries are among many instances noted by Republicans and conservative media that exposed the lie of Joe Biden's claims he and his son have never talked about matters of business. "Well, it sure looks like now it is a family enterprise based on the recent text messages we have seen," Jordan said of the emerging evidence related to the laptop. "I'm just amazed at how this story has changed because it initially started out that it wasn't his laptop. Then quickly, it was his laptop but it was Russian disinformation."

Senator Ron Johnson SLAMS President's son for running up Secret Service costs. Senator Ron Johnson has slammed Hunter Biden for his Secret Service detail's $30,000-per-month Malibu mansion and the agency's costs for his wife's trip to Brazil. This week DailyMail.com revealed exclusive pictures of a $6.2 million mansion next door to Hunter's Malibu sea-view home currently housing his USSS detail — who are reportedly paying $30,000 per month in rent. The news followed Hunter's wife Melissa Cohen's solo trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, last month where she was photographed on Ipanema Beach with a full Secret Service escort consisting of six SUVS, six Secret Service agents and seven Brazilian federal officers, costing thousands.

White House fails to explain why Biden vacations in Delaware while UK's PM visits Zelenskyy in Kyiv. President Joe Biden has no plans to visit Kyiv as his British counterpart Boris Johnson did over the weekend, drawing raves for his surprise appearance and the message that his stroll through the streets of Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sent to Moscow. Instead, Biden will sit in Washington, D.C. where he will monitor the situation on a daily basis, according to a top White House aide.

Grassley [says he has] 'Enough Evidence' to Legitimately Question if Joe Biden Is Compromised by Chinese. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said on FNC's "Jesse Watters Primetime" that he had "enough evidence" to warrant an investigation into if President Joe Biden is compromised by his son Hunter Biden's business dealings in China. Watters said, "Do you have evidence, senator, that would lead to you believe that Joe is potentially compromised by the Chinese?" Grassley said, "I only have enough evidence that that's a legitimate question. I do not have evidence that goes as far as you would like to have me say it goes. If I could say it, I would say it."

Another suspicious pile of cash from China turns up where the Bidens just happened to host a 'diplomacy' center. Joe Biden is an influential man. And sure enough, the University of Pennsylvania, which runs something called the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, has been the recipient of $54 million in anonymous donations from China. You know, anonymous, like Hunter Biden's art buyers. [...] Maybe there is no link, none whatsoever, between those Chinese donations, and the fact that the university hosts the Penn Biden center. Maybe China was just excited about Penn. The university itself has refused to say if any of the cash went to the center itself, or how the king-sized donations were used at all. But we know that money went there, the donations to Penn went up as Joe got closer to public office, and someone from China was buying, (or laundering) something for its money.

Hunter Biden Firm Invested In VR 'Metaverse' Used by Child Sex Groomers, And His Laptop Shows He Had an Account. An investment firm directed by President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden was a financial backer of the online virtual reality game "IMVU," which has faced repeated controversies over child predators exploiting the app to find and connect with minors. The President's son, Hunter, also appears to have established an account on the website, according to details confirmed by The National Pulse from his laptop. Founded in 2004, the virtual world and social networking site 'IMVU' allows players to create a personalized avatar and interact with others users via public and private chat rooms.

Yes, We Absolutely Should Impeach President Biden. Democrats shouldn't have dished it out if they couldn't take it. As it appears more likely that Republicans will retake the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate, discussions of impeaching President Joe Biden are becoming more prevalent on the right. However, not everyone is keen on the idea. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) recently warned against impeaching President Biden when they retake the House. As calls for Biden's impeachment are increasing on the right, it appears the lawmaker is signaling that he would not lend his support to such an endeavor. He might want to rethink this one.

There are some things you can question and some things you can't. In today's America, there are some things one can question... and some things one cannot. You can question the existence of God. [...] You can question your own gender, but you can't question the LGBTQ agenda in any way, shape or form — for any reason. Nor can you question the process or results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, in any way, whether on a national, state, or local level. If you do, you will promptly be cancelled, disappeared, or otherized. Seriously questioning how COVID-19 was loosed upon the globe is also strictly verboten. As is asking questions about the Biden family's ties to — and relations with — China or Ukraine. In fact, you can't ask a pertinent question of Biden at all.

The Leader Who Never Was. [Scroll down] But the sequential disasters Biden's struggled to manage in the last few months are not mere accidents of fate; they're cumulative, with progressive policy blunders setting the stage for the next failure. Appeasing the green new deal fanatics in their war on American fossil fuel production even before his Oval Office chair was warm, predictably pushed energy prices sharply higher, lighting a fuse to runaway inflation that's won't be easily stamped out. Opening the human floodgates on our now notional southern border — aside from the exploding crime and youth-poisoning fentanyl implications — signaled to the world a lack of commitment to the basic defense of the nation that goes beyond mere incompetence, to near self-immolation. The Taliban quite understandably recognized a propitious moment, so their offensive operations intensified, leading to our horribly ill-considered, disgracefully botched flight from Afghanistan — for which no one has as yet been called to account. Such incomprehensible malfeasance was not lost on the covetous Vladimir Putin, convincing him his time had arrived. And so his bloody grab for Ukraine began. The "presidential" bearing that was the major selling point of Biden's campaign pitch is decomposing before our eyes.

The Biden family scheme unravels. If the grand jury in Delaware investigating Hunter Biden's business ventures does its job properly, it will be pulling on the threads that lead to the president, and already there are signs that is happening. Regardless of the extraordinary statement last week by White House chief of staff Ron Klain, that the president is confident his son has done nothing wrong, and that the inquiry has nothing to do with Joe Biden or anyone else in the White House, publicly available evidence says otherwise. It is not just the e-mails and other material on Hunter's abandoned laptop which point to Joe Biden's involvement in his family's multimillion-dollar global influence-peddling schemes when he was vice president. There is also the six-hour interview Hunter's former business partner Tony Bobulinski gave to the FBI last year, along with a trove of documents, e-mails and encrypted messages.

Investigating Hunter Biden. Sometimes breaking news has a long lag time, apparently. A year and a half after Hunter Biden's laptop emerged, the mainstream press has begun to report on its contents. That should have been the story all along. The new interest in the story brings home, once again, that President Biden owes the American people a full accounting of his knowledge of, and participation in, his family members' embarrassingly blatant and lucrative practice of monetizing his political influence. This is especially true with respect to Hunter, who has acknowledged that he is the subject of a criminal investigation. The president's Justice Department is investigating the president's son over money generated by his proximity to government power that his father has wielded, under circumstances where his father himself has been credibly implicated.

The World Wonders Where Is Joe Biden. Saturday, the world found out that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was in Ukraine. [...] Most of the attention was focused on the presents Johnson brought with him. He promised 120 Mastiff armored vehicles (read Ukraine Has Joined NATO Whether Russia Likes It or Not, and More Are Yet to Follow), anti-ship missiles (these are widely speculated to be Harpoon missiles with an over-the-horizon capability that will make life very interesting for the Russian Navy), more anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles, and non-lethal aid like helmets and body armor. [...] The obvious question in all of this is, where is Joe Biden? Ordinarily, one would expect the American president to lead because of resources, prestige, and neutrality on intro-EU scuffles.

Hunter Biden [lives] 'like the president' at Malibu pad, guarded 24/7 by Secret Service. Hunter Biden's partying days appear to be in the rearview mirror as he lives a quiet homebody-style life, rarely venturing out of his $6 million Malibu home while being guarded 24/7 by the Secret Service. "He never goes anywhere other than an art studio," a source with direct knowledge of the situation told the Washington Examiner. "You won't ever see Hunter Biden in a grocery store buying bologna and bread for a sandwich." But on the off chance that Biden does want to venture out, he doesn't drive himself but rather gets into a Secret Service car. "He is like the president. He never goes anywhere without a big team," the source said.

We might want to be wary about purported new info from Hunter's hard drive. On April 7, I wrote a post about the fact that Jack Maxey, a man who once worked with Steve Bannon at the latter's War Room, was contending that he had successfully recovered 450 gigabytes of deleted documents and photos from Hunter Biden's infamous hard drive. Maxey promised that he would soon be making this information available to the public. However, Yaacov Apelbaum, a writer whose work a highly reputable friend of mine recommends, suggests that Maxey's assertions should be taken with a very large grain of salt. In a post entitled "My Name is Jack Maxey, and I'm a Fabricator," Apelbaum describes a "fabricator" as "an intelligence agent or officer that generates disinformation, falsehoods, or bogus information often without access to authentic sources." [...] Most recently, as noted above, Maxey reported to the Daily Mail the news that he's recovered 80,000 images and videos from Hunter's hard drive, along with 120,000 archived emails, all totaling 450 GBs of data. Abelbaum believes this isn't true and that it is, instead a way to discredit the actual data on Hunter's hard drive by "lac[ing] it with disinformation...."

11 Times Joe Biden Was Involved in Family's Corrupt Business Dealings. President Joe Biden has brazenly claimed over and over again to have no knowledge of his family's corrupt business dealings for which his son Hunter is under investigation by the FBI for tax fraud, money laundering, and the violation of lobbying laws. The White House has also insisted Biden never spoke to Hunter about his intertwined business dealings, though evidence of the Biden family business suggests otherwise. [Tweet] According to former Utah U.S. attorney Brett Tolman, the Biden family business may reveal the core of an entrenched business enterprise, which could involve legal "predicates" for racketeering charges. Here are 11 times Joe Biden played a role in the Biden family business over six years: [...]

New Emails Provide Smoking Gun Evidence that Joe Biden Was Directly Involved in Hunter's Corrupt Business Dealings. Smoking gun evidence of Joe Biden's involvement in his son's shady business ventures has emerged in the form of a college recommendation letter for the son of a Chinese executive. [...] The string of emails directly tie Joe Biden to to his son's corrupt influence operation. The man who initially released the incriminating and explicit contents of Hunter Biden's laptop to the media, told the Daily Mail earlier this week that he has an additional 450 gigabytes of deleted material he plans to make public. Jack Maxey says this includes 80,000 images and videos and more than 120,000 archives emails from the computer. Maxey came into possession of the hard drive after he was asked by former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, and New York City police chief Bernie Kerik, to access the contents. He told the Daily Mail he fled from the United States to Switzerland out of fear that the Biden administration would retaliate against him.

Will Joe Biden Bring the U.S. Down With Him? Joe Biden does not seem steady on his feet or clear in his mind, and at this stage the same might be said for the country he nominally governs. His unforced errors, some of which have an oddly deliberate ring to them, may have rendered the November midterms and the 2024 presidential election entirely moot. Whether the nation can remain socially, politically, and economically intact even for the next few months is an open question. Biden is a fool, but there is cunning in his folly. [...] There are two sorts of gaffes or blunders which Biden is prone to make: the kind that are plainly indicative of cognitive decline, and those that dovetail neatly into Democrat, neo-Liberal policy to being in a new world order associated with the Great Reset. This entails the extension of NATO, regime change in Russia, the collapse of the American middle class, and the installation of oligarchic rule in the U.S.

Primary Witness to Material Within Hunter Biden Laptop Says Active Two-Star General Has Warned Him About Pending U.S. Government Retaliation. Emerald Robinson has a great interview with Jack Maxey from Switzerland. Maxey was the first person to receive a full hard drive copy of the Hunter Biden laptop from Rudy Guliani. After media, Senate and U.S. government officials refused to take action, Maxey went to Switzerland in order to complete a full forensic audit of the laptop content in a neutral jurisdiction. Previously, Maxey outlined his intent to share the full contents of the original files, and all of the retrieved deleted files, with the public so that people can see the scale of depravity and Biden family corruption within the evidence. In this interview with Emerald Robinson, Maxey states the full and searchable email archive will likely be completed early next week. [Video clip]

$54M in Chinese gifts donated to UPenn, home of Biden Center. A government watchdog is demanding the US Attorney probing Hunter Biden in Delaware investigate tens of millions in anonymous donations from China to the University of Pennsylvania, where an academic center is named for his father, President Biden. The Ivy League college raked in a total of $54.6 million from 2014 through June 2019 in donations from China, including $23.1 million in anonymous gifts starting in 2016, according to public records. Most of the anonymous donations came after the university announced in February 2017 that it would create the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. Joe Biden, whose term as vice president had just ended, was to lead the center and was also named a professor at the university. The center, which is located in Washington, DC., opened its doors in February 2018. Antony Blinken, whom Biden named as Secretary of State, briefly served as its managing director.

Hunter Biden frequently covered family expenses, texts reveal. Hunter Biden's access to lucrative financial opportunities also came with expectations — including kicking back as much as 50% of his earnings to his dad, text messages on his old laptop show. "I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years," Hunter Biden groused to daughter Naomi in January 2019. "It's really hard. But don't worry, unlike pop, I won't make you give me half your salary." Pop is Joe Biden. The laptop — infamously abandoned at a Delaware repair shop in April 2019 — does not contain any direct evidence of such money transfers, but does show that Hunter was routinely on the hook for his father's household expenses while Joe Biden was vice president. The expenses are spelled out in an email to Hunter from business partner Eric Schwerin from June 5, 2010, entitled "JRB Bills."

A Pure Hypothetical. [Scroll down] On the laptop, among other unsavory matters, is enough information about your family's grifting to sink your candidacy and maybe land you all in the pokey. But an unholy combination of the corporate media, Big Tech, and old intel community cronies ride to your rescue by falsely claiming your son's laptop is "Russian disinformation." These allies censor and silence any and all references to the laptop and its contents as "mis- and disinformation" and foreign election interference. In the end, by roughly 17,000 votes spread over three states, you are elevated to the presidency. Wither the grift? Closing in on 80 years-old, you are tempted to let it go, perhaps more so now that your erstwhile campaign allies in the corporate media have fessed up that the laptop was, in fact, your troubled son's. Your presidency has been beset by problems; and your party's fortunes heading into the midterm elections appear bleak. Thus, the question: Does your hand-picked attorney general appoint a special prosecutor to investigate you and your family's overseas influence-peddling grift? I'm guessing . . . no.

Joe Biden gives us the most awkward moment we've ever seen from a president. For some reason, the White House Communications Department apparently thought it would be a good idea to have former president Barack Obama, Sleepy Joe's old boss, make a grand return to the executive mansion to help boost Biden's disastrous approval ratings. Their plan failed miserably. As usual, Obama couldn't help but make the event about himself, and tried to be funny by referring to Biden as "Vice-President." It was humiliating. Obama then went on to tout his own accomplishments, or what we would call failures, and in doing so only illustrated what a complete imbecile Biden is. Say what you want about Obama, but the man is as adept at self-promotion as anyone we've ever seen. And then when the speeches were over, we were left with this pathetic moment we see on the video. Joe Biden during this footage reminds us of that kid in high school who sat alone on the bus, ate by himself at lunchtime, and would rather pick his nose than pay attention to the goings-on in gym class. [Video clip]

Has Biden become expendable? [Scroll down] Before the 2020 election, a story broke regarding Hunter Biden's laptop, which was abandoned at John Paul Mac Isaac's Delaware repair shop. Along with reports that Biden's laptop contained disturbing images of a sexual nature, there were allegations that presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son had compromising financial dealings with Ukraine worth millions of dollars. Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter, confirmed on Fox's The Tucker Carlson Show that Hunter's troubling emails were legitimate. The New York Post confirmed the authenticity of the laptop and published articles regarding some of its shady contents. That's when the formidable socialist propaganda apparatus went into full cover-up mode. The New York Times and Washington Post dismissed the laptop story. Democrats attacked anyone discussing the laptop and labeled the entire subject a Russian disinformation scheme. Social media banned The New York Post from sharing the story, and countless bloggers sharing the story saw their social media accounts suspended. Now, 18 months after Biden became president, the corrupt media have come out to say Hunter's laptop is genuine.

The Charade to Portray Biden as Competent and Qualified Comes Crashing Down. For well over a year, Americans have observed Joe Biden's undeniable mental and physical decline. [...] On Tuesday, the curtain was pulled back to reveal an old, dithering, insecure Biden, humiliated by his own party. At a White House event celebrating the 12th anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Care Act, Democrats competed for the attention of the former president, Barack Obama, while they ignored the current president, Joe Biden. At one point a lonesome, meandering Biden even clasped hopefully onto Obama's right shoulder to get his attention. But Obama ignored the president as he reached out to shake the hand of one of his adoring Democratic admirers instead. The former president couldn't be bothered to turn his attention to the current president; not while his own fans were waiting. When Obama spoke, he referred to Biden as his vice president. Moments later, Obama added, "That was a joke." But it wasn't a joke and it certainly wasn't funny. Nor was it humorous when Biden said it, introducing himself as "Barack Obama's vice president."

More Hunter Biden Dirt: Jack Maxey Threatens to Post 450 Gigabytes of Deleted Data From Infamous Laptop. The identity of a whistleblower, who had previously shared shocking details about Hunter Biden through his laptop, has been revealed. Jack Maxey, a former co-host of ex-Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon's podcast the War Room, had shared stunning revelations about Hunter Biden to congressmen and media. Maxey left the US fearing any action from the top administration and currently he is in Zurich, Switzerland. In 2021, He had given copies of the hard drive of Hunter Biden's laptop to Senator Chuck Grassley, the Washington Post and the New York Times but Maxey claimed that they all did not disclose any details for months. He has been in Zurich for the past two weeks and is working with IT professionals to receive more data from the abandoned laptop. Maxey has claimed that has found nearly 450 gigabytes of deleted material from the laptop and this material includes 80,000 images and videos and more than 1,20,000 [sic] archived emails.

Many articles about the Hunter Biden Laptop start with a recap — like this:
Hunter Biden, the Invisible Government, and the Laptop. In the Oct. 22, 2020, presidential debate, President Donald Trump confronted former Vice President Joe Biden about corrupt Biden family foreign business dealings to the moderator: "If this stuff is true about Russia, Ukraine, China, other countries, then he's a corrupt politician. ... It's the laptop from hell." Trump was referring to a laptop replete with criminal evidence that was nevertheless successfully discredited by Joe Biden, the intelligence community, and the media as "Russian disinformation." Biden's response in the debate: "There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what this, he's accusing me of is a Russian plan." Well over a year later, the mainstream media has just grudgingly acknowledged the laptop and its contents reflect a plan, but not a Russian one. Two recent guests on my "Armstrong Williams Show" — former Attorney General William Barr and the retired chief of the CIA Weapons of Mass Destruction Terrorism Unit, Charles Faddis — took issue with the lies told to suppress the important revelations on the laptop that would have otherwise derailed Biden's path to the presidency.

Another recap:
Media Collusion Defused Bombshell Story About Hunter and Joe Biden. About three weeks before the 2020 election, the New York Post published a bombshell, election-changing story about presidential candidate Joe Biden's son, Hunter, that, if true, derailed Joe Biden's claim to know nothing about his son's multimillion-dollar influence peddling. The Post claimed: "Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by the Post. "The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month. ... The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden's claim that he's 'never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings' — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.

GOP probe of Hunter Biden's business dealings turns to president's brother James. While conservative heat has for three years focused on the past business activities of President Biden's son Hunter, a key Senate Republican told CBS News this week that newly obtained banking records raise similar concerns about first brother James Biden. "We have people with the Biden name, dealing with Chinese business people that have a relationship to the Communist Party," Senator Chuck Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, told CBS News senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge. "I think James Biden was very much a part of this." Bank records released by Republican senators this week indicate James Biden's company, the Lion Hall Group, received payments from a Chinese-financed consulting group in 2018, before his brother Joe announced he was running for president. Grassley says that same year James Biden and the president's son, Hunter, received monthly retainers totaling $165,000 — $100,000 to Hunter and $65,000 to James.

Joe Biden is The Doomsday Scenario We Were Warned About. I have a new name for the current occupant of the White House: Doomsday Joe. [...] Doomsday Joe has done nothing that follows either the spirit or the letter of the Constitution. Instead, he has supported every cultural or deep-state initiative to avoid its appointed limits, if not just pull it out by the roots. Doomsday Joe's vaccine mandates were unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court said so. The White House Chief of Staff, Ron Klain openly admitted on one of the Sunday talk shows that having OSHA issue the mandate was intended to be a "work-around" of both Congress and the Constitution. So much for that oath of office, right, Joe? Doomsday Joe has nominated another leftist activist who will (when, inevitably, confirmed) spend the next 30 years or more attacking the Constitution.

The Legacy Media Have Not Conceded the Laptop Reporting — And They Don't Deserve Credit. In the last two weeks, the New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post all came forward to admit that the Hunter Biden hard drive — which I originally reported a year and a half ago in the lead-up to the 2020 election and saw those outlets dismiss and smear the stories as "baroque mythology," "made up," "Soviet tradecraft," and "disparaging Biden" — was authentic. However, despite initial admissions, the media are now stopping short of acknowledging the reporting on the information the hard drive contained — namely, that Joe Biden was a direct beneficiary of Hunter's deals. Instead, they are inviting the people who come from the very institutions that outright lied and purposely misrepresented the laptop and its contents in the first place to continue lying and misrepresenting the laptop and its contents.

Nancy Pelosi Flips Out After House Republicans Actually Subpoena Hunter Biden to Testify Before Congress. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has led the House Democratic troops to shut down a subpoena that would have have put President Joe Biden's beleaguered son Hunter Biden on the Congressional witness stand. The Republican-backed subpoena came after mounting evidence that Hunter Biden is involved in international crimes that implicate the president. As reported earlier, there is evidence that his father, the believed "Big Guy" in a Hunter Biden email, took at least "ten percent" of his cut, and potentially as much as "half" his salary. Peter Schweizer, who details the presidential son's Chinese activities in his book "Red Handed," believes now that all signs point to Hunter Biden's federal indictment.

CBS: Federal Authorities Flagged More Than 150 Biden Family Transactions as 'Suspicious Activity'. The Hunter Biden investigation has turned up evidence of corruption so blatant that not even mainstream outlets like CBS News can ignore it any more. Veteran journalist Catherine Herridge, formerly of Fox News, has turned up evidence that federal authorities flagged more than 150 bank transactions from Hunter Biden and James Biden as suspicious activity.

Hunter Biden Whistleblower Flees to Switzerland, Claims to Have Mountain of Data Coming. The Hunter Biden scandal has exploded back onto the national scene over the last few weeks, with even leftwing media outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post finally reporting on the details. Much of that sudden interest is being driven by an expanding FBI investigation into the president's son, and as I said in a prior article, there's every reason to believe something big is coming. Why? Because mainstream media outlets rarely publish stories harmful to Democrats unless they are trying to get out in front to control the narrative. We saw that occur with John Durham's most recent indictments, where the DOJ selectively leaked to the Times in order to whitewash the situation. In short, we almost certainly haven't seen the worst yet.

Primary Witness to Material in Hunter Biden Laptop Flees to Switzerland Fearing Retaliation and U.S. Government. Jack Maxey was the first person to receive a full hard drive copy of the Hunter Biden laptop from Rudy Guliani. Maxey has fled to Switzerland in order to complete a full forensic audit of the laptop content in a neutral jurisdiction. In recent interviews Maxey has started to discuss the buried information that was contained in the deleted files from the laptop — the things Hunter Biden did not want anyone to see. That deleted material, now retrieved and archived, is alleged to contain 450 gigabytes of images, pictures and videos that are very disturbing. Maxey is stating he will share the contents of the original files and all of the retrieved deleted files with the public so that people can see the scale of depravity and Biden family corruption within the evidence. Additionally, Maxey is revealing to The Daily Mail the background of how he gave the original material to media, the Senate and law enforcement, and yet no one took any action.

Hundreds of Biden Bank Transactions [were] Marked 'Concerning'. After ignoring the scandal during the 2020 presidential election and with possible indictments looming, the mainstream media is finally covering Hunter Biden's shady foreign dealings. In a report broadcast Wednesday night [4/6/2022] on CBS News it was revealed hundreds of Hunter and James Biden bank transactions were marked as suspicious. [Tweet] The White House continues to claim that because Hunter Biden isn't an official government employee, they have no comment. Press Secretary Jen Psaki also insists President Biden has never spoken to Hunter about his foreign business dealings. [Tweet]

Joe Biden Struggles with Anger Issues Especially When Questioned About Family Corruption. President Joe Biden has consistently struggled with anger outbursts when peppered with unwanted questions — especially questions about the Biden family corruption. All throughout the presidential campaign and into his presidency, Biden has consistently used anger in an attempt to dispel questions he does not want to answer. According the Republican National Committee's research team on Monday [4/4/2022], Biden has leveraged his defensive anger at least five times when questioned about his family's business dealings.

The Rules About Corruption Just Don't Apply To The Bidens. About two weeks ago, the New York Times published an article finally conceding that the Hunter Biden laptop and many of the emails on it are authentic. Yesterday (March 30), the Washington Post followed suit. The laptop in question is the one that Hunter left at a Delaware computer repair shop, and whose contents the New York Post revealed in a series of explosive October 2020 articles. Those articles got the NY Post banned from Twitter in the run-up to the 2020 election, while some 51 ex-intelligence officials denounced the laptop as likely "Russian disinformation." Meanwhile, the Times and the WaPo never breathed a word about the laptop's existence or its contents for the intervening year and a half. Both the recent Times and Washington Post articles mention the laptop in the context of reporting on a federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden's tax liabilities and business dealings in foreign countries including Ukraine and China. Clearly the newspapers are trying to get out in front of a likely impending indictment of the President's son. After all, it would be quite embarrassing for them if the President's son were to get indicted based on events that have long been public but which events have never been mentioned in either of those two papers.

Joe Biden's Released Tax Returns Don't Explain Millions In Income. Where Did It Come From? In the week prior to the presidential election, I wrote a piece that asked the question, "Where Is Hunter Biden's Money?" It was an important question then, even more so now. Given the legacy media's recent validation of Hunter's laptop that discussed a slice of equity planned for the "Big Guy" in a deal that involved an entity controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), we should know if any money from it (or other foreign sources) ended up in Joe Biden's pocket, but we don't. Recall that despite then-presidential candidate Biden having bragged that he had released his tax returns with what his team called "a historic level of transparency," the truth is that he only released his individual returns. Those returns provided no detail regarding the source of most of his income, dollars that flowed to him and his wife Jill by way of S-corporations they set up shortly after his departure from the office of vice president. Those entities, CelticCapri Corp (his) and Giacoppa Corp (hers), contained more than $13 million of the $17 million the couple had reported in income after Biden left office, most of it in the first year (2017).

Report: Ron Klain Emailed Hunter Biden About 'Unpleasant Business' of Raising Money for Vice President. President Joe Biden's chief of staff Ron Klain allegedly emailed Hunter Biden in 2012 to ask him for money for his father. "Hey, I have to tackle a piece of unpleasant business," he wrote in an September 2012 email to Hunter Biden now revealed by Fox News. Klain explained to Hunter his father needed to raise $20,000 in a week to keep up the "VP Residence Foundation" as a public charity. "I'm hitting up a few very close friends on a very confidential basis to write checks of $2,000 each," he reportedly wrote.

Is 'The Big Guy' In Big Trouble? So far, the lurid news reports of global influence peddling, sex and drugs emanating from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop and its thousands upon thousands of damning emails have been treated solely as the risqué escapades of President Joe Biden's ne'er-do-well son. However sad this episode might be, we've been told it has nothing to do with the president himself. Oh, really? In fact, based on what we know so far, President Biden could be in a world of legal trouble. Ordinarily, influence peddling involves a middleman with access to someone powerful. The middleman uses his access to a powerful politician or official to obtain money and/or favors from a third party, who in turn wants favors or access from the powerful official. [...] President Biden's claim of not knowing about Hunter's business dealings simply doesn't hold water.

Obama's bloodless coup. [Scroll down] But, have you ever watched any politician, or ex-president no less, more narcissist than Obama's televised bloodless coup at the White House? Clearly the overthrow was devised, written, directed, and implemented by the former president. His sycophants couldn't betray and abandon President Biden fast enough. Obviously, the Democrats don't believe that hapless Joe is destroying America fast enough. And clearly, with fangs unfurled, Obama has messaged that being a puppet master is not a proper second act for a past president of his Machiavellian genius. No more behind the scenes act for him. Our First Lady, Jill Biden, is the spouse from the dark side. She allowed this circus side show to travel, succeed, and expose her husband's weakness as he allowed the extreme left to accelerate America's decline. Just where was she as her husband was deliberately humiliated, abandoned, and destroyed?

Here's a dozen times Joe Biden played a role in son Hunter's business dealings. President Biden and the White House have repeatedly denied that he and Hunter Biden ever discussed the first son's controversial overseas business dealings — yet there are at least a dozen times where Joe Biden had to know what his son was doing.

Hunter Biden grand jury witness was asked who is the 'big guy' in Chinese deal. A witness who testified before the Hunter Biden grand jury was asked to identify the "big guy" in the first son's planned deal with a Chinese energy conglomerate — as calls ramped up to have President Biden included in a conspiracy probe. The question arose after the witness was shown a piece of evidence while appearing in secret before the panel in Wilmington, Del., a source familiar with the proceedings told The [New York] Post. A bombshell email exclusively reported by The Post in October 2020 showed that one of Hunter Biden's business partners, James Gilliar, outlined the proposed percentage distribution of equity in a company created for a joint venture with CEFC China Energy Co. The March 13, 2017, plan included "10 held by H for the big guy?"

Censorship of Hunter Biden's Laptop Confirms [the] Need to Rein in Big Tech or Cease to Be Free People. On the precipice of the regime-defining 2020 presidential election, Facebook and Twitter committed their "Pearl Harbor attack" against the incumbent president, Donald Trump, and in dutiful favor of the regnant regime's favored candidate, Joe Biden. In an October move that would presage the collapse of the "public"-"private" distinction during the Biden presidency — as seen in press secretary Jen Psaki's open bragging last summer of collusion with Mark Zuckerberg to censor COVID-19 "misinformation," and Eric Schmidt's recently revealed role helping shape administration science policy — Big Tech oligarchs dropped the hammer on the New York Post, a high-circulation newspaper, for its reporting on Hunter Biden's now-infamous "laptop from hell." The laptop's files demonstrated the notoriously troubled Hunter's venality, abuses of power, and general sketchiness of his foreign dealings. He and some of his cronies remain under federal investigation for possible tax and money laundering violations. In response to the New York Post's reportage, Twitter locked the paper out of its own account for more than two weeks. Both Facebook and Twitter, moreover, heavily limited or outright blocked disseminating the Post's URL for the laptop story.

Whistleblower who handed Hunter's abandoned laptop to congressmen and DailyMail.com reveals he has 450 gigabytes of deleted material. The source who distributed Hunter Biden's laptop to congressmen and media has fled the US to Switzerland, saying he fears retaliation from the Biden administration. Jack Maxey gave DailyMail.com a copy of the hard drive from Hunter's abandoned laptop in the spring of 2021. He also gave copies and material from it to the Washington Post, New York Times, and Senator Chuck Grassley in his role as ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee — but he claims they all sat on it for months. For the past two weeks, Maxey has been in hiding in Zurich, working with IT experts to dig out more data from the 'laptop from hell'.

Emails Found on Laptop From Hell Reveal Joe Biden Wrote College Recommendation Letter For Son of Hunter's Chinese Business Partner. Remember when Joe Biden repeatedly told us he has never engaged in any conversations with Hunter about his son's international business dealings? It turns out "The Big Guy" wrote a college recommendation letter for the son of Hunter Biden's Chinese business partner, according to emails exclusively obtained by Fox Digital. The emails were found on Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop from hell. Joe Biden's recommendation letter for the Chinese businessman's son was sent directly to Brown University's president, Fox News reported.

Peter Schweizer: 'This is a Biden family scandal and it involves Joe Biden'. Suspicions surrounding the identity of the "big guy" mentioned in a Hunter Biden email are ramping up, and author Peter Schweizer said Tuesday other members of the Biden family deserve to be scrutinized. The "Red-Handed" author joined host Pete Hegseth on "Fox & Friends" to discuss the implications behind the Bidens' ties to China. "This is a Biden family scandal, and it involves Joe Biden," Schweizer began. "The way to think about it is Hunter Biden, James Biden and the other family members who are profiting off of Joe Biden's position — they're kind of like moons circling a planet and that planet is Joe Biden."

Ron Klain solicited funds from Hunter Biden in 2012: report. Current White House chief of staff Ron Klain approached Hunter Biden in September 2012 for help raising $20,000 for a foundation that looks after the vice president's residence, but told the now-first son to "keep it low key" to prevent "bad PR," according to emails obtained by The [New York] Post[.] In a Sept. 21, 2012 message to Hunter Biden, first reported by Fox News, Klain said he needed to "tackle a piece of unpleasant business." "The tax lawyers for the VP Residence Foundation have concluded that since the Cheney folks last raised money in 2007 and not 2008, we actually have to have some incoming funds before the end of this fiscal year (i.e., before 9/30/12 — next week) to remain eligible to be a 'public charity,'" wrote Klain, referring to former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Psaki Insists Joe Biden Has Never Spoken to Son Hunter About His Overseas Business Dealings. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday insisted that Joe Biden has NEVER spoken to his son Hunter about his overseas business dealings. This is a flat out lie. Grassley and Johnson produced records showing Hunter Biden and James Biden (Joe's slimy brother) received hundreds of thousands of dollars from companies linked to the Communist Chinese Government. Hunter Biden worked with Gongwen Dong and Ye Jianming, both men are linked to the Chinese Communist Party.

Latest From the Hunter Biden Grand Jury Is Going to Make Joe Sweat. Liberal media has finally been forced to admit the truth of the Hunter Biden laptop. But some are still holding out, with the new talking point from some of the media being that there's no evidence involving Joe Biden. That excuse is false as there is all kinds of information that involved Joe Biden, including pictures and emails of him meeting with Hunter's business partners. But that excuse may be getting blown up in a very important place — the grand jury investigating Hunter Biden, according to the NY Post. They are reporting that the grand jury asked a witness to identify who "the big guy" was in Hunter's planned deal with a Chinese energy conglomerate.

We Need to Talk About Kamala Harris. Who knows if this will actually go anywhere, given the partisan rot infesting the Department of Justice, but "the Big Guy" has reemerged in the Hunter Biden grand jury. As Christopher Tremoglie quipped on Monday, "Biden once denied knowledge of Hunter's business dealings; now, he's certain they were not illegal." While it's difficult on some days for Biden pére to discern anything, how is it at all possible for even the most cogent person to determine the nature of something about which they possess no knowledge?

Throwing Hunter Biden under the bus won't be enough to clear Joe. Hunter Biden won't like the interview his father's chief of staff Ron Klain did with ABC's George Stephanopoulos on Sunday [4/3/2022]. Asked about the Delaware investigation into the president's son's business affairs, Klain threw Hunter and his uncle Jim Biden under the bus. "The president is confident that his family did the right thing. But, again, I want to just be really clear, these are actions by Hunter and his brother. They're private matters. They don't involve the president. And they certainly are something that no one at the White House is involved in." This is the party line, parroted by the Washington Post and CNN in their belated coverage of the story last week. Sure, they say, it looks bad for Hunter, but, gosh, Joe Biden had nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, this line of defense does not sustain scrutiny.

'Big guy' reemerges in Hunter Biden grand jury: Report. A grand jury witness was asked to identify the infamous "big guy" mentioned in discussions regarding a Chinese business deal involving the president's son Hunter Biden, according to a new report. The question came up after this person, who was not identified, was shown a piece of evidence before the grand jury, located in Wilmington, Delaware, a source told the New York Post. The answer that was given was not reported, though some have claimed the "big guy" is President Joe Biden, raising the prospect that the commander in chief could be drawn into a federal criminal investigation. So far, the White House has been adamant in asserting that the president is not involved and that Hunter Biden, 52, did not commit any crimes.

Why is a "study" necessary to prove that which is obvious?
New Fed study shows Biden owns our economic disaster. President Joe Biden loves to blame our sky-high inflation on corporate greed and Vladimir Putin. But a new study from the San Francisco Fed shows it was Biden himself who put America on this grim trajectory. Specifically, it was the massive $1.9 trillion stimulus dumped into the US economy in early 2021 by the president's American Rescue Plan. As the nearby chart demonstrates, the nation began heading into the inflationary stratosphere in early 2021, while other advanced economies, the other countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, haven't seen anything like the soaring prices now punishing workers across America. Which means that the spike is due to something US-specific, rather than global prevailing conditions. That policy, was, of course, Biden's signature economic "achievement."

Blackmail Biden? No way. Rumor has it that there is a laptop out there containing some data that could be considered incriminating to Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (D-Geritol), POTUS*. Assuming that this is true, then what? (Full disclosure: I believe that it is true.) [...] When your enemy is making unforced errors, let him. There are times when it is best to sit back and shut up. Nope, no one outside the USA is going to blackmail Biden. He is already doing what any enemy would have had him do.

[The] Secret Service [is] paying over $30K per month for [a] Malibu mansion to protect Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden is apparently spending his father's presidency living in luxury in Malibu — and so is his taxpayer-funded security detail. The Secret Service detail protecting the president's controversial son has been paying more than $30,000 a month to rent out a swanky Malibu, California, mansion for nearly a year, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News. The agency responsible for protecting the president and his family — among other ranking government officials — selected the property in order to be located as close as possible to Biden's own rented mansion where he is paying about $20,000 a month according to property listings, sources told ABC News.

Ex-intel officer: Spy agency sought Hunter Biden laptop back in 2020 to see if [the Biden] family [was] compromised. A retired intelligence officer says a U.S. spy agency asked for his help in fall 2020 to try to acquire a copy of the Hunter Biden laptop contents ahead of the presidential election. Retired Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer's account to Just the News was confirmed by three other people who were approached by Shaffer or the agency or were involved in the approach. They said the agency's interest was to analyze the hard drive contents for any evidence or patterns of how foreign adversaries were seeking to compromise prominent Americans or their families.

'Bombshell' Hunter Biden Text Reveals Joe Biden Made Him Give Him 'Half' His Salary for Over 30 Years. A 'bombshell' Hunter Biden text that was first discussed on air prior to the 2020 election has been verified. And it has explosive implications regarding the current President of the United States, Joe Biden, and the Biden family. It regards a text conversation between Hunter Biden and his daughter Naomi, who is the president's granddaughter. A copy of that text from December 26, 2018 has been provided to Becker News.

Washington Post Editorial Board Admits Its Complicity In Covering Up Hunter Biden Laptop Story. Last month, the mainstream media finally admitted that the contents of Hunter Biden's laptops were accurate after sitting on the story for nearly a year and a half and discrediting it as 'Russian disinformation.' The Washington Post is allegedly one of the outlets that was given a copy of Hunter Biden's hard drive roughly a year ago and just chose to 'verify' its contents less than a week ago. This morning [4/3/2022], the Washington Post released an article saying that the mainstream media's admission that Hunter Biden's laptop was real is an opportunity for a 'reckoning.'

NBC Exposes Joe Biden Taking Hunter on China Trip in 2013 So He Could Meet Business Associates. On Friday morning, the broadcast news network unveiled a damaging report exposing the president for having taken his son Hunter Biden on a China trip in 2013. [Video clip] "A 2013 trip to China getting new attention this morning, not for what Joe Biden did, but for who he brought with him, his son Hunter, joining the then vice president on the official visit to Beijing," NBC News reported. "Along with Hunter's daughter Finnigan, unknown to the press back then, Hunter Biden was forming a Chinese private equity fund planning to raise money, including from Chinese investors." This is odd framing: 'Unknown to the press.' The sitting vice president's family finances and business affairs are not obscure private matters of anonymous citizens, but should be public record for one of the most powerful politicians in the world. NBC News thus [condemns] itself and the rest of the U.S. mainstream press for ignoring such a business trip, which took place in the land of America's nemesis.

Turley: Special Counsel Must Be Appointed to Investigate Hunter Biden. Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley has written that a special counsel must be appointed to investigate the Hunter Biden case because President Joe Biden has denied any wrongdoing by his son, and has taken steps to influence investigations. [...] Turley wrote at The Hill that the Biden administration and the media are now attempting to claim that while Hunter Biden sold access to his father, his father was not, in fact, involved, despite ample evidence to the contrary. That, he says, suggests the need for a special counsel, free of political influence.

Let's hear it from Joe himself. Under oath.
Joe Biden 'confident' Hunter didn't break law in dealings with Ukraine, China: Klain. President Biden believes his son Hunter did nothing illegal while involved in controversial and highly lucrative business dealings in Ukraine and China and is allowing the Justice Department to carry out its investigation unimpeded, the White House chief of staff said Sunday [4/3/2022]. "Of course the president's confident that his son didn't break the law. But, most importantly, as I said, that's a matter that's going to be decided by the Justice Department, by the legal process," Ron Klain said on ABC News' "This Week." "It's something that no one at the White House has involvement in." But ABC's George Stephanopoulos pressed Klain on a report in the Washington Post last week that said a Chinese energy conglomerate paid Hunter Biden and the president's brother, James, $4.8 million over a 14-month period.

Laptop scandal recap:
Compromised Biden Cannot Lead America or the World. As you may know, in 2019 Hunter Biden carelessly abandoned his laptop at a computer repair shop in Delaware. This was an act of astounding recklessness, since the emails, text messages, files, photos, and videos contained on that computer provided extensive record of greed, corruption, bribery and graft, not only on his part but also on the part of his father and other members of their family. When the New York Post tried to report on the hard drive in October 2020, the America mainstream media and law enforcement authorities refused to acknowledge it or take appropriate action. Rather than commencing an investigation, the establishment falsely claimed that the hard drive was a product of "Russian disinformation." They did this even though they knew it was real. The staff of the New York Post conducted an extensive, multi-level authentication process to ensure that the hard drive was genuine, and they made the details of this process available to anyone who cared to check. The establishment, however, banded together and refused to act. Instead of investigating the guilty party, they attacked the messenger and went into overdrive to censor the incriminating information under the cover of the "Russian disinformation" canard.

Federal tax investigation of Hunter Biden moves forward. A federal grand jury has heard testimony in recent months about Hunter Biden's income and payments he received while serving on the board of a Ukraine energy company, according to two people familiar with the probe. It remains unclear whether he might be charged. But the grand jury activity underscores that a federal tax investigation into President Joe Biden's son that began in 2018 remains active as prosecutors continue to examine foreign payments and other aspects of his finances. A lawyer for Hunter Biden did not return a phone message and email seeking comment on Friday [4/1/2022]. A Justice Department spokesman deferred a request for comment to the U.S. attorney's office in Delaware, which is handling the investigation. A spokesperson for the office did not return a phone message seeking comment.

Why Is Creepy Joe Biden Pretending To Be President From A Fake White House Stage? Remember when creepy Joe was busted getting a booster shot from a fake White House sound stage? Well it seems now the cat is out of the bag and Biden goes to this fake set more often. Biden recently made his pre-recorded Martin Luthur King Jr. speech from this secret location. He also was filmed with business leaders on this sound stage. [Video clip]

Biden at the Bat. For the supporters of then-candidate Joe Biden, hope soared that he would put "adults" back in charge of American public policy; and, moreover, usher in a new progressive era akin to the New Deal. Of course, in his near half-century serving in federal office, both as a senator and vice president, there was little to justify such faith in Biden. Indeed, as Biden's "spring training" during the 2020 presidential contest played out, there was little to suggest that the septuagenarian back-slapper was the savior of the republic: he was facilitated by COVID restrictions preventing him from having to endure the full physical rigors of campaigning; extra-constitutional "emergency" changes in election laws and rules that tilted the playing field in his favor; and a compliant regime media aided by Big Tech oligarchs deliberately misinforming the public about the true state of his mental acuity and his and family's associates and finances.

Biden's 'absolute' defense of Hunter leaves media and Justice Department in a muddle. "We absolutely stand by the president's comment." With those words, White House communications director Kate Bedingfield reaffirmed that President Biden maintains his son Hunter Biden did "nothing [that] was unethical" and never "made money" in China. Those claims appear demonstrably false — and they make the positions of both the media and Attorney General Merrick Garland absolutely untenable. For the media, the ongoing investigation of Hunter Biden by U.S. Attorney David Weiss in Delaware has presented a growing danger of self-indictment over its prior coverage (or noncoverage). Weiss has called a long line of witnesses before a grand jury, and there is growing expectation of criminal charges against Hunter Biden. Nothing concentrates the mind as much as a looming indictment.

What else could he possibly say?
Ron Klain says Biden is 'confident' Hunter Biden 'did the right thing' as federal investigation heats up. President Biden is confident that his son, Hunter Biden, didn't break the law or cross any ethical lines as investigations into his overseas dealings continue, White House chief of staff Ron Klain said Sunday [4/3/2022]. The longtime Biden adviser appeared on ABC's "This Week" to address multiple crises the Biden administration is facing, from the Russian invasion of Ukraine to rising gas prices and the scandals swirling around Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden is under federal investigation for potential violations of tax, money laundering and foreign lobbying laws through his business relationships abroad. "Of course, the president is confident that his son didn't break the law," Klain said, "but most importantly, as I said, that's a matter that's going to be decided by the Justice Department, by the legal process. It's something that no one at the White House has involvement in."

Joe Biden Managed to Fall Asleep Standing Up, Mix Himself Up with Michelle Obama All at One Event. It's getting increasingly anxiety-inducing to watch President Joe Biden give these public addresses. This Saturday, the president and first lady spoke at the commissioning commemoration ceremony of the USS Delaware. The remarks weren't exactly memorable because either of them said something groundbreaking. The president, however, did mix himself up with former First Lady Michelle Obama, with "Michelle Obama" trending on Twitter for Saturday night. [Tweet]

Joe Biden Forgets He Was Vice President — but He's Totally Fine, You Guys. On Saturday morning, the president spoke to members of the US Navy, and in doing so, he not only seemed to forget he was vice president, but he bestowed the title on his wife, Jill Biden. Again, though, he's totally fine, you guys. Nothing to worry about. [Video clip] [...] It is not normal for a president to continue to make these kinds of mistakes. I've honestly lost count of how many times Biden has forgotten what administration he served as vice president in, forgotten the names of his current cabinet members, forgotten how many grandchildren he has, and even forgotten what year it is. Once is an understandable mistake. Even a few flubs are perhaps worthy of being explained away. But we are talking about dozens and dozens of brain-breaking instances over the course of just a few years in which the president appears to be completely out of it. [Video clip]

The Editor says...
The abject senility of the President of the U.S. is neither funny nor cute. It is a genuine national security concern. The leaders of foreign countries — frinedly or otherwise — can see what Joe Biden's condition is, just as well as we can. It is obvious to all of them (and us) that someone other than Joe Biden is making the decisions attributed to Mr. Biden. That puts the U.S. government in a precarious leaderless position.

Biden [is] Telling Staffers He Wants the Justice Department to Prosecute Trump. Joe Biden is telling staffers that he wants the Justice Department to prosecute former President Trump and other political opponents. In an article about Attorney General Merrick Garland 'facing pressure as the January 6 investigation widens,' The New York Times claimed Biden wants Garland to prosecute Trump. The New York Times reported: "As recently as late last year, Mr. Biden confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted, according to two people familiar with his comments."

Joe Biden [will] Open the Border on May 23. President Joe Biden's deputies have announced they will lift the Title 42 barrier at the southern border on May 23, allowing a vast wave of wage-cutting, rent-spiking migrants into America's job and housing markets. "We are increasing our capacity to process new arrivals, evaluate asylum requests," said a statement from Alejandro Mayorkas, who heads Biden's Department of Homeland Security and is trying to build an extra immigration system that operates alongside annual limits set by Congress. The formal announcement implies that the president will not block the border-opening plan by his deputies.

The Editor says...
Who came up with the plan — the "deputies," or the alleged President? Who is really in charge of the Executive Branch?

Intel official who signed Hunter Biden letter picked for Afghanistan commission. The newest Democratic selection for the Afghanistan War Commission is an MSNBC pundit who was among dozens of former intelligence officials who signed a letter in October 2020 claiming without evidence that the Hunter Biden laptop story was part of a Russian operation. The Democratic chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Washington Rep. Adam Smith, announced he had picked Jeremy Bash for the Afghanistan investigation Friday, with the biography for Bash noting he served as chief of staff at the Pentagon and chief of staff at the CIA during the Obama administration. Former CIA Director Leon Panetta, for whom Bash worked, also signed the letter.

Ron Johnson Is Asking All The Hunter Biden Questions The Media Should Be. Although the media are finally acknowledging, way too little too late, that the Hunter Biden laptop and its incriminating contents are actually legitimate, it is largely burying the lede, neglecting to give the scandal the attention it deserves and refusing to ask important questions. Two GOP senators, Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, are the only lawmakers who seem much to care. Over the last week, they've released a series of reports including bank receipts showing that the president's son received payments from foreign oligarchs that show "the extent to which President Biden might be — and almost certainly is — compromised." For its part, the media should take a cue from Johnson, who is asking all the questions they should be.

AP slammed over claim Biden 'misspoke,' rather than 'lied' about green energy savings for Americans. The Associated Press (AP) was slammed by critics this week for a fact-check in which it claimed President Biden "misspoke," rather than "lied," about how much money Americans would save on average by switching to renewable energy sources for their homes. "If you're home is powered by safer, cheaper, cleaner electricity like solar or heat pumps, you can save about $500 a month on average," Biden falsely claimed Thursday while announcing plans to release 1 million barrels of oil a day for the next six months from the strategic oil reserve. [Tweet] In a tweet later that evening, the AP claimed its fact-check found that Biden "misspoke," and pointed to a White House statement saying people using green energy might save $500 a year, not per month.

Democrats Have Painted Themselves into a Corner. The New York Post published the Hunter Biden laptop story a few weeks before the presidential election, and most people never heard about it because the Masters of The Universe deplatformed anyone who dared to post it. Various Russian assets in the "Intelligence" Community loudly declared that it was "Russian disinformation." Drive-by Media talking heads called it "stolen." Every effort was taken to bury it. And, for a while, "Hunter Biden" disappeared from public view. And his father assumed residence in the White House. A few reports that the DOJ was questioning Hunter's compliance with tax laws slipped out, but those were lost in the noise. Now something has changed.

White House Refuses to Rule out Joe Biden Pardon for Hunter Biden. The White House refused to rule out President Joe Biden issuing a presidential pardon for his son Hunter Biden or for his brother James Biden as federal investigations continue over their foreign business dealings. "That's not a hypothetical I'm going to entertain," White House communications director Kate Bedingfield said during the daily press briefing when asked about a potential pardon "I don't have anything to add from this podium." Bedingfield was reluctant to address any aspect of the Hunter Biden story, after CNN, The Washington Post, and the New York Times recently published stories about the federal tax probe into Hunter Biden and his foreign business deals.

Of course Biden backs Ukraine: it's ground zero for his family's dirty business, including the biolabs. Emails obtained from Hunter Biden's laptop show that his dad, Joe, helped secure funding for Metabiota, the Pentagon contractor involved in disease research at high-security biolaboratories in Ukraine. Joe, Hunter and Hunter's brother James, the email trove shows, were all entangled in various overseas business ventures not only in Ukraine but also in Qatar, China and Russia. "Hunter Biden ... was actually talking about his ties to one of these labs in Ukraine that was, in fact, developing pathogens that could cause pandemics," explained Joshua Philipp during a recent Crossroads Q&A session he held. The DailyMail Online (U.K.) reported that the Russian government held a press conference about the issue, showing that Hunter helped finance United States military "bioweapons" research programs in Ukraine, which probably explains why the Biden regime is up in arms over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Hunter Biden would've been indicted before 2020 election if he were 'anybody else,' ex-fed says. Hunter Biden would likely have been indicted before the 2020 presidential election if he were "anybody else," a former high-ranking federal prosecutor said Friday [4/1/2022] — after a report said a probe into the first son's overseas business dealings was far from over. Ex-Utah US Attorney Brett Tolman told "Fox & Friends" that "the US attorney in Delaware ... has had this case for a long time." "Anybody else in this country, we would have seen these indictments probably before the election," Tolman said. Tolman also said testimony from former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinksi and various emails raised the possibility that President Biden, first lady Jill Biden, first brother James Biden and others "facilitated their ability to take large amounts of money from countries ... and to be able to hide that from the government and to hide what they were buying."

Lawmakers Demand Hunter Biden's Communications With Obama White House. Several GOP lawmakers sent more letters to the Biden administration demanding records of any communication between Hunter Biden and the White House. "Hunter Biden's connections throughout the Russian sphere of influence have now become especially relevant in the fast-moving and developing Russian war in Ukraine," the Republicans on the House Oversight Committee said in their letters to the White House, dated Thursday, March 31. They argued that "if the Russian government is attempting to influence American policy in Ukraine by exploiting Hunter Biden's connection with his father — the President of the United States — the American people deserve to know it," according to their letter. The Republicans are seeking "documents and communications" between the White House and "members or associates of the Biden family" from Jan. 20, 2021, to now, the letter said. They're also seeking a list of "past and ongoing foreign business interests and past and ongoing foreign relations for members of the Biden family."

Democrats have a silly double standard for Clarence Thomas and Joe Biden. If we're going to create transparently idiotic, partisan standards on the fly, they should be applied to everyone in government. If Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has an ethical obligation to recuse himself from all cases related to the Jan. 6 riots because his wife Ginni has opinions on the matter, as most Democrats contend, it's clear that President Joe Biden has a moral responsibility to step back from any more decisions concerning Ukraine and China. Now that The New York Times and Washington Post have both authenticated the Hunter Biden e-mails — a story the media and tech conglomerates suppressed on the flimsiest of pretexts to help Joe win the 2020 election — it's also what's right for democracy. That's how this works, right? The Biden case is potentially worse because Hunter, under criminal investigation, implicates his father as fiscal beneficiary in his dealings with corrupt Eastern European energy interests and the ChiComs.

Suddenly The Media Desperately Wants You To Know The Hunter Biden Laptop Story Is Real. After calling it a fake Russian disinformation plot or just ignoring it altogether for over a year, the media is suddenly desperate for Americans to know that the Hunter Biden laptop from hell story is totally real. Why? The Washington Post covered the story, admitting that documents which were first reported on by The New York Post in October 2020 "illustrate the ways in which his family profited from relationships built over Joe Biden's decades in public service." [Tweet] At the time, the Post's 'fact checkers' dismissed the revelations as disinformation, calling it "laptop stuff." The New York Times has also done a complete about face, admitting that the story is real and not disinformation. [Tweet]

The Weakest Presidential Line Of Succession Ever. As Vladimir Putin floats terrifying hints of Russia's willingness to use nuclear weapons against countries that assist in Ukraine's defense against Moscow's brutal invasion, the United States is saddled with a president teetering on the brink of senility, and a woman one heartbeat away from the presidency who is as dependably incompetent as she is undependable in prepping herself on national and international issues. Polling makes clear that the public is fully aware of, and disconcerted by, the alarming shortcomings of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris alike; but at the same time, there is little if any appreciation of the unprecedented vulnerability to the United States due to those further down in the line of succession. Old age, timidity, and lack of qualification abound among those who might be thrust into the job of most powerful individual on earth, charged with leading the free world.

Biden, the Ersatz President. The United States does not have a real president right now. There is an individual named Joe Biden who shows up occasionally and sits in the Oval Office, but in no way can he be considered to be "President" in the traditional understanding of that term. Biden is an ersatz president. [...] Trump was a Results president. Biden is a Process president. Biden and the Democrats embark on a flurry of meaningless activity that plays well to the media and to their supporters, but which amounts to nothing of positive significance. To the extent that Biden's empty activity subtracts from or negates President Trump's actual beneficial results, what Biden and the Democrats are doing is incredibly harmful to this country and detrimental to a smooth-running world order. Unlike President Trump's clearly-stated, very specific intentions of how to improve the quality of daily life in America, Biden and the Democrats seem intent only on currying favor with special-interest groups and their accomplices, the adoring liberal media.

GOP reps demand White House docs concerning Hunter Biden's foreign dealings. Republican members of a House panel sent letters on Thursday to the White House and the National Archives demanding records of any communication between Hunter Biden and the White House during the two terms of the Obama administration, when his father was vice president. "Hunter Biden's connections throughout the Russian sphere of influence have now become especially relevant in the fast-moving and developing Russian war in Ukraine," the Republicans on the House Oversight Committee write in the letters, which were obtained by The [New York] Post. "If the Russian government is attempting to influence American policy in Ukraine by exploiting Hunter Biden's connection with his father — the President of the United States — the American people deserve to know it," the letters said.

White House stands by Biden's 2020 claim there was nothing unethical about Hunter's deals in China and Ukraine. The White House Thursday said it stood by President Joe Biden's comments when he said in 2020 there had been nothing unethical in his son's foreign business dealings and that he never made money from China, following fresh reporting about how Hunter Biden profited from his famous father. This week it emerged that Chinese company CEFC China Energy paid $4.8 million to entities controlled by Hunter and his uncle James five years ago. Although the Washington Post did not allege that Biden was personally involved, it reported that Hunter Biden used his father's influence and contacts to secure the payments.

Even The Big Media Can No Longer Ignore Biden Family's Corruption. At long last, the mainstream media are paying some attention to the obvious corruption of President Joe Biden's family and its many business partners, which include the Chinese government and Russian oligarchs. These things have been known for years. Why are the Big Media only now looking into them? And why, not really knowing anything at all about what was going on, do Twitter and Facebook still censor those who report on the Bidens' questionable overseas business activities? Finally, both the New York Times and Washington Post have been forced to admit that Hunter Biden's lost laptop is real, not a "fake" or a Russian fabrication, and that it contains a trove of damning evidence (22,000 emails "authenticated") of Biden family corruption. The family's dealings with the communist Chinese government and powerful officials in both Russia and Ukraine are so numerous and so byzantine it's not possible to describe them all in this limited space.

Biden administration to release 1M barrels of oil daily from US reserves. The Biden administration will release 1 million barrels of oil each day for the next six months from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum reserve in an effort to combat soaring gasoline prices. Biden formally announced the move at a White House event Thursday afternoon, saying that his plan would release around 180 million additional barrels from the reserve. That would leave the already-depleted SPR down to around 388 million barrels, the lowest level since March 1984. The White House said ahead of the president's remarks that "This record release will provide a historic amount of supply to serve as a bridge until the end of the year when domestic production ramps up."

The Editor says...
The Keystone XL pipeline, which Biden killed, would have delivered almost the same amount of oil per day. Biden, or whoever makes his decisions, is systematically dismantling this country.

Rudy Giuliani: "Evidence Against Joe Biden on the Hard Drive is Stronger than Against Hunter Biden". The Washington Post and NY Times finally confirmed the authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop sixteen months after the 2020 election. They felt it was safe now to tell the truth on Hunter's laptop now that the election is over and their man Joe Biden is in office. The corruption of the Democrat-Media complex has no limit.

Were You Better Off with Trump? [President Trump] won over ten million more voters than in his previous 2016 victory, won almost every traditional bellwether county in the country by double digits, and expanded his share of the electorate with women and minorities. But for Biden being declared the winner by the press after four days of counting in a handful of battleground states, Trump's impressive gains in 2020 would have been heralded as a resounding endorsement from the American people. That is the part of the 2020 election story that has always bothered me most. If it were stolen, and I obviously believe it was (sorry, thought police), then the theft not only denied the American people their say in their own governance and saddled the country with a dangerous, corrupt, and cognitively declining stooge, but also unfairly recast widely successful Trump policies as having been rejected by the people. That rewriting of history is as dangerous and consequential as the election fraud itself. In tort law, there's a doctrine known as res ipsa loquitur — "the thing speaks for itself" — which permits the inference of a negligent act even without direct evidence because no other plausible explanation exists. The thing speaks for itself is how I've felt about the 2020 election.

Biden Administration Said He Watched Ketanji Brown Jackson Hearings — Biden Says He Didn't. It is getting so bad that now seemingly every day Joe Biden and his Administration are caught in another lie. It's bad. Last week it seemed that every day Joe Biden was caught saying one or more things that were shocking and needed to be addressed by the gang running his Administration. [...] In a video in a tweet released yesterday as reported at Twitchy, Biden says that he never watched the Katanji Brown Jackson hearings. But his staff claimed that Biden did watch the hearings and claimed he: ["]...watched portions of judge Jackson's hearings yesterday and today... Her dedication to following the facts, the law, and our Constitution, as an independent judge is clear. He was also moved by the grace and dignity she has shown...["]

Watch: Biden Denies Making His Gaffes From Last Week. Last week, Joe Biden made three serious gaffes, forcing the White House to "clarify" or walk back his statements. But when he was called out on them on Monday by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy, he denied that any of his remarks were ever walked back. "Are you worried that other leaders in the world are going to start to doubt that America is back if some of these big things that you say on the world stage keep getting walked back?" Doocy asked? "What getting walked back?" Biden demanded, apparently seriously. "It may sound like, just in the last couple days — it sounded like you told U.S. troops they were going Ukraine. It sounded like you said it was possible the U.S. would use a chemical weapon. And it sounded like you were calling for regime change in Russia and we know — " "None of the three occurred," Biden insisted.

Gaetz Lights up FBI Official on Hunter Laptop, Makes Move Leaving Nadler Speechless. Looks like the story of the Hunter Biden laptop is heating up again as Republicans in Congress are pushing to finally get answers. On Monday, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) dropped receipts with bank records showing that a Hunter Biden firm received $100,000 from a company that Grassley said was effectively an arm of the Chinese Communist government. Grassley and Johnson said they had more records that they would be dropping. On Tuesday, Rep. Matt Gaetz was questioning the assistant director of the FBI Cyber Division, Bryan Vorndran, about the laptop. The FBI had taken the laptop after the repair shop owner called them and turned the laptop over to them in Dec. 2019. But when Gaetz was questioning him, Vorndran claimed that he didn't know where the laptop was or what had happened to it.

How does the FBI 'lose' a laptop like Hunter Biden's? Some things don't make sense. That brings us to some testimony from the FBI's assistant director for cyber-security, who told Congress's Rep. Matt Gaetz that he had no idea where Hunter Biden's laptop, entrusted to FBI custody, actually is. [...] "I don't know who has it," said [FBI Assistant Director for the Cyber Division Bryan] Vorndran. [...] Vorndran should be embarrassed. The whereabouts of this laptop are something he should know. Even if he doesn't have it, he should know who does have it because it's a computer matter that likely affects his job of protecting the country from cyber-attacks.

The FBI 'Doesn't Know' Where Hunter's Laptop Is. "So where is it? The Laptop?" Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) clown-slapped the assistant director of the FBI's Cyber Division, Bryan A. Vorndran, on Tuesday [3/29/2022] when Vorndran admitted he didn't have "any information" on the whereabouts of Hunter Biden's "laptop from hell." [Tweet with video clip] Vorndran told Congress he didn't know where the laptop is, nor does he even know who SHOULD know the whereabouts of the laptop. Weird, considering he IS the assistant director of the FBI's Cyber Division. Gaetz mentioned the laptop's "international business deals, kickbacks, and shakedowns" that might potentially hurt the Biden family.

GOP Rep. Jake Ellzey from Texas Asks If Biden Is "Colluding with the Media?". GOP Representative Jake Ellzey from Texas was on with Tucker last night and he asked whether Joe Biden is colluding with the media. This is something that has been going on for months. After putting his foot in his mouth for days and almost starting World War III, Joe Biden was prevented from speaking at yesterday's presser in DC. He was asked only one question as we reported yesterday. [...] The Democrats collude with Big Tech and the Mainstream Media and have for years. This is a key reason that the US is in such a terrible state with a senile old man being led by people we don't even know who they are.

Biden promises Zelenskyy $500M more aid to Ukraine as Russia steps up attacks. President Biden told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday that the U.S. will send an additional $500 million in direct aid to his embattled country as Russia steps up attacks on its neighbor. In a 56-minute telephone call, Biden told Zelenskyy that the U.S. is "working around the clock" to deliver aid to Ukraine as it seeks to repel the Russian invasion. "Biden spoke today with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine about the ongoing work by the United States and its allies and partners to deliver military, economic and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine and to impose severe costs on Russia for its brutal aggression against Ukraine," the White House said in a statement.

Lunden Roberts finally breaks silence on Hunter Biden. The mother of Hunter Biden's love child has finally broken her silence — to disavow her lawyer's prediction that President Biden's scandal-scarred son will be charged with tax fraud. "I never said that I thought Hunter would be indicted — my attorney did," Lunden Roberts exclusively told The [New York] Post this week. "His comment to media was without my authorization I might add," she wrote in a text message. "I have never opined on Hunter's financial affairs to anyone and do not anticipate doing so."

Biden planning to tap oil reserve to control gas prices. President Joe Biden is preparing to order the release of up to 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation's strategic petroleum reserve, according to two people familiar with the decision, in a bid to control energy prices that have spiked as the U.S. and allies have imposed steep sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine[.]

Now Washington Post reverses course! Paper joins NYT in finally admitting Hunter Biden's laptop is real. The Washington Post has finally admitted Hunter Biden's laptop is real, nine months after first receiving a copy and a full year after DailyMail.com authenticated it. The Post had cyber forensics experts validate material on the abandoned laptop hard drive, using similar methods that experts hired by DailyMail.com used back in March 2021. After months of publishing articles suggesting the laptop could be Russian disinformation, the analysis published by the newspaper on Wednesday marks a startling u-turn. Its admission also follows the New York Times, which quietly noted 1,200 words into a long story published earlier this month that it had also validated material from the laptop.

Bank records show Hunter Biden received $100,000 in 2017 from Chinese firm. Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have revealed financial records showing how an arm of the Chinese government transferred $100,000 to President Biden's son Hunter Biden. Speaking on the floor of the Senate on Monday night, Mr. Grassley, Iowa Republican, cited an Aug. 4, 2017, Wells Fargo wire transaction from CEFC, a Chinese energy conglomerate, that sent $100,000 to an account controlled by Hunter Biden. "Now there is no middleman in this transaction. This is $100,000 from what is effectively an arm of the communist Chinese government direct to Hunter Biden," the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee said. "To the liberal media and my Democratic colleagues: Is this official bank document Russian disinformation?"

Trump asks Putin to hand over dirt on Hunter Biden. In the middle of Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, Donald Trump's priority on Tuesday was urging Vladimir Putin to hand over any documents he may have about Hunter Biden's dealings with Russian oligarchs. The ex-president said he was particularly interested in an alleged $3.5 million payment from the former mayor of Moscow's widow to a company co-founded by Hunter Biden, according to an excerpt from a new interview with Just The News. 'Why did the mayor of Moscow's wife give the Bidens — both of them — $3.5 million? That's a lot of money,' Trump in a 30-second clip on the Voice of America program.

Matt Gaetz enters Hunter Biden laptop into congressional record. Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz entered contents from the laptop believed to belong to Hunter Biden into the congressional record during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday [3/29/2022]. The move followed a heated exchange between Gaetz and Bryan Vorndran, assistant director of the FBI's Cyber Division, who informed the congressman that he had no information about the status of the copy of the laptop hard drive the FBI has had in its possession since 2019 as the president's son faces a federal investigation into his financial and foreign business affairs.

Senators bring receipts to the Senate floor of Hunter's payment from 'arm of Chinese government'. Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson delivered floor speeches Monday [3/28/2022] focused on a September 2020 report that they are now releasing showing details of the financial connections between Hunter Biden, China, Ukraine, and other countries. Democrats describe the report as Russian disinformation but the two Republican senators claim they have the receipts and will be providing evidence over the next few days. The corruption of Biden, Inc. has generally been ignored. Hunter Biden and James Biden, brother of Joe, have traded on the Biden name and Joe Biden's political position for years. Democrats and their partners in the press have conveniently brushed off concern that Joe Biden is compromised, even after an email on Hunter Biden's laptop stated that the Big Guy always gets ten percent.

Angry Biden Explodes on Press for Grilling Him on Remark 'Putin Cannot Remain in Power'. President Joe Biden was visibly angry at a press conference on Monday when he was reminded of many egregious misstatements the White House has had to 'walk back' in the last week; paramount among them being his remark "Putin cannot remain in power." When a reporter even couched her question in sycophantic phrasing to soothe the damaged ego of the president, Biden nonetheless lashed out at the press for grilling him on his dangerous misstatement.

Biden's Either Wrong When He Says We're Training Ukrainian Troops or He Revealed Classified Information. On Monday's broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "Hannity," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that President Joe Biden's declaration that he was referring to helping train Ukrainian troops while trying to fix previous statements he's made was either an untrue statement or Biden revealing classified information, and the situation is "like Mr. Magoo as president, where every time he explains one thing, it gets worse and worse and worse and we've got nuclear weapons pointed at each other."

Lies, Lies, And Biden's Budget. The first line in President Joe Biden's budget statement, released Monday, is "Budgets are statements of values, and the budget I am releasing today sends a clear message." Biden's right that his $5.8 trillion budget sends a clear message. The message is that he will say and do anything, no matter how disconnected from reality it is. The rest of his statement is itself full of lies and half-truths. [...] Under Biden's budget, federal spending in 2030 will account for 23.9% of the nation's GDP. Under Trump's last budget, it would have been 18.4%. From 2022 through 2030, Biden proposes to spend $38.8 trillion on entitlements such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare. That's $5 trillion more than Trump proposed over those same years.

Biden stands by his comment that Putin 'cannot remain in power' but insists he was 'expressing moral outrage not policy change'. President Joe Biden on Monday [3/28/2022] tried to clarify his comments about not allowing President Vladimir Putin to stay in power, insisting he was expressing his outrage at the Russian leader's brutality in Ukraine rather that unveiling a new U.S. policy. The U.S. president alarmed allies and partners on Saturday when he said at the end of a speech in Warsaw: 'For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power.' The White House quickly tried to walk back the comments, saying the president meant Putin could not continue to wield power over neighbors.

Biden, 79, uses 'cheat sheets' to answer press questions on his 'unscripted' call for Putin to be ousted in Russia. Joe Biden was mocked online on Monday for using a printed 'cheat sheet' of answers to expected questions when he faced the media to discuss the Ukraine war. Biden was in Poland on Saturday and declared in Warsaw that Vladimir Putin 'cannot remain in power' before flying back to Washington, DC. Asked on Monday about his remarks, which many saw as advocating for regime change, the 79-year-old president referred to a typed cue card for hints. He said he made 'no apologies' for his remarks, made off the cuff and not part of his prepared speech.

Biden's Handheld Notecard at Press Conference Reveals Humiliating Instructions for Handling 'Tough' Questions. President Biden had a meltdown at his press conference on Monday. He continuously denied the reality of his numerous recent misstatements that the White House had to embarrassingly 'walk back,' and lashed out after repeated grilling. But one of the most humiliating things to come out of his press conference is a glimpse at the handheld notecard his White House handlers gave him to handle "tough" Putin Q&A talking points. It looks like the White House had had enough of Biden's continuous gaffes and gave him a 'cheat sheet' so that he wouldn't 'screw it up.' Spoiler alert: He screwed it up.

Biden Takes One Question from Hand-Picked Reporter — Embarrassingly Suggests He Had 'Meeting' with Leader of U.S.. President Biden and the Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong made a joint statement at the White House on Tuesday. Biden also agreed to take only a single question from a hand-picked reporter. [Video clip] "Now, we each agreed we take one question," Biden said. "And, I'll recognize someone first, Darlene Superville, Associated Press." Biden's agreement with the press to 'take one question' comes amid major international developments, particularly, Russian and Ukrainian overtures towards potentially coming to a peace agreement.

Concha marvels at the '259 days' media has ignored Hunter Biden story, says blackout days are numbered. Despite The New York Times finally admitting that Hunter Biden's laptop is real and the emails that have surfaced from it are authentic, the media has been silent on the whole suppressed story for 259 days and counting, according to Fox News contributor Joe Concha. On Tuesday's [3/29/2022] airing of "Fox & Friends First," co-host Todd Piro kicked things off by addressing Concha on the subject, saying, "259 days since ABC, CBS, and NBC morning and evening newscasts mentioned Hunter Biden. What has to happen, Joe, in the investigation of Hunter for the media to eventually touch the story?" "Wow, Todd, Carly... it's the eleventh commandment of journalism, 'Thou shall not broach anything about Hunter Biden unless it's to talk about his artwork or overcoming drug addiction.' But as this investigation intensifies, as Cheryl was just describing, this story will be impossible to ignore, particularly if indictments start getting handed down," he pointed out.

Donald Trump To Vladimir Putin: Release The 'Dirt' On President's Son Hunter Biden. Former President Donald Trump has called on Russia's Vladimir Putin to release any information on supposedly illicit business deals by President Joe Biden's son. In an interview published on Tuesday [3/29/2022] by the "Just the News" show on the right-wing Real America's Voice network, Trump said that Putin should share the details of any business activities in Russia of Hunter Biden. The ex-president, referring to findings of a controversial report by Senate Republicans into the Biden family published in September 2020, said that Hunter received millions from the wife of former Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov in the past.

White House Clarifies Joe Biden's Claim U.S. Troops Training Ukrainians in Poland. The White House on Monday [3/28/2022] attempted to clarify what President Joe Biden said to reporters about Americans training Ukrainian troops in Poland. During a question and answer session with members of the media at the White House, Biden responded to a question concerning his remark last week about what U.S. service members would see in Ukraine, "when you're there."

Here's Why Biden's Putin-Regime Change 'Gaffe' Was So Egregious. In the days following Joe Biden's call for regime change in Russia, a comment that was walked back by the White House before Biden managed to reassert it, there have been lots of different takes regarding whether he was "correct" to say what he said or not. The foreign policy establishment, because they can never think more than one step ahead, absolutely loved it. It was Biden's "tear down this wall" moment they asserted without a second thought for what it actually meant to call for Vladimir Putin's ouster without any viable plan to bring that about. From there, accusations of being pro-Putin if one didn't agree with Biden predictably emerged. Bill Kristol recently provided a perfect example of that. [Video clip]

[The] U.S. [is] training Ukrainian troops in Poland, Biden seems to reveal. President Joe Biden appeared to reveal that the U.S. is training Ukrainian forces in Poland — stating for the first time since the war began that American troops are actively teaching Ukrainians to fight and kill Russians. The United States has been providing billions of dollars in weapons and other assistance to Ukraine, with much of that aid going through Poland. The president spent part of last week in the country, meeting with U.S. troops stationed in the southeast and delivering a speech about the West's unity in the face of Russian aggression.

Biden apparently doesn't understand what 'recuse' means. For someone who is a member of the bar and was a longtime chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, President Biden demonstrated a shocking lack of understanding of what it means for a Justice of the Supreme Court to recuse him- or herself. It almost has to be his dementia, which is now so self-evident in his public appearances. He was asked in his press conference yesterday (all 12 minutes and 46 seconds of it) if Justice Thomas should recuse himself from any case involving the January 6 "insurrection" (the word that the reporter used) because of something his wife texted. He said that he would leave that to "two entities," the January 6 committee of Congress and the Justice Department. [Video clip]

Hunter Biden's $142K Fisker sports car scrutinized in tax probe: report. Prosecutors leading the Hunter Biden tax probe are investigating his purchase of a $142,000 plug-in hybrid sports car whose manufacturer defaulted on a massive Obama administration loan touted by his father, according to a report Monday [3/28/2022]. Some of the testimony presented to a Delaware grand jury also appears to be intended to prevent the first son from mounting a defense based on his admittedly sordid history of drug and alcohol abuse, the Wall Street Journal said. That testimony came from a former girlfriend, Zoe Kestan, 28, who last month testified about shacking up with Biden, 52, in swanky hotels in New York City and Los Angeles and making lavish purchases during 2018, a source familiar with the matter told The [New York] Post.

Biden Promises Us a 'New World Order'. How often do we need new world orders? As often as oil changes? Speaking on Monday at Business Roundtable's CEO Quarterly Meeting in Washington, Old Joe Biden said portentously: "And now is a time when things are shifting. We're going to — there's going to be a new world order out there, and we've got to lead it. And we've got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it." It has been just thirty years since George H. W. Bush promised a new world order, and apparently, that one is already gotten stale. So Old Joe is going to bring us a still newer one, and once again the question must be asked: what could possibly go wrong?

Did Joe Biden's Chief of Staff Just Throw Him Under the Bus? Sometimes, things are so bad that you have to latch onto anything to even try to produce a positive thought. That's apparently where White House Chief of Staff Ronald Klain is. Klain, an avid user of social media and noted fan of Jennifer Rubin, has long been known for retweeting the most ridiculous media takes imaginable. And while he can usually find some form of lavish praise to push, that's been in short supply lately. That led to this really awkward moment on Monday morning where Klain shared a tweet from the day before proclaiming Biden's "significant lapse in discipline."

Did Biden Just Commit Us to World War III? Did World War III start on Friday in Warsaw? Or did Old Joe Biden just announce its imminent arrival? The faux-president met with American troops from the 82nd Airborne Division for a photo-op; he tried to project an image of comfortable, genial command as he greeted troops getting their hair cut and joined a group eating pizza in a cafeteria. He told the troops that they were "the finest fighting force in the history of the world," and dropped a broad hint that they might soon be fighting the biggest war in the history of the world: Old Joe started describing to them what they would see when they got to Ukraine. Wait. They're going to Ukraine? Biden said to the troops: "And you're gonna see when you're there, suh- suh- some of you have been there, you're gonna see, you're gonna see women, young people standin', standin' in the middle, in the front of a damn tank, just sayin' 'I'm not leavin'. I'm holdin' my ground. They're incredible.'"

Hunting Hunter: GOP Readies Probes of the Laptop and the Election-Eve Cover-up. The story of Hunter Biden's Laptop from Hell — which was known to officials and the media months before the 2020 presidential election but was suppressed and covered up by government, media, and tech operatives — is the absolute worst example of election interference in most Americans' lifetimes. This is the sort of thing we mean when we talk about a "rigged" election. It cannot be allowed to go unpunished. The contents of the laptop detailed international wheeling and dealing undertaken by Hunter Biden during the Obama administration, with the understanding that his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, would get his 10% for "the big guy." Hunter apparently received massive payments from both Ukrainian and Russian intermediaries, meaning that now-President Biden is a compromised leader and a national security threat.

Hunter Biden's Laptop Contained Defense Department 'Encryption Keys'. Old Joe Biden's chip off the old block, Hunter Biden, has been many things: board member of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma; vice chairman of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation; sought-after artist; and international bon vivant, but he has never been known to have served in the Department of Defense. So why does his infamous laptop contain, on top of everything else that is incriminating on it, Defense Department encryption keys that are not available to private citizens? Sam Faddis, a retired CIA Operations Officer who served in the Near East and South Asia, disclosed on Sunday that "the ongoing analysis of the hard drive of Hunter Biden's laptop" revealed the Defense Department encryption keys, and this was not an insignificant find: "These keys allow access to DOD email accounts and databases." As is characteristic of Hunter Biden from what we know of him already, he didn't just dabble; he went all in. "The exact number of these keys is still unknown. There may be dozens."

The Embarrassment In Chief. [Scroll down] After Biden's speech it was time to eat and upon entering the mess hall, he wandered over to a table, saw a box of pizza, proclaimed "hey look the pizza's here." He then opened it, his shaky grip waving a piece back and forth he lifted it to his lips and scarfed it. The only problem being that in the military the officers eat last and the higher the rank the longer you wait. And as the commander in chief no one out-ranked him. The shock and dismay by the troops in the room was captured on video and in pictures that flooded social media.

Chaos In The White House. I wrote yesterday about Joe Biden's Warsaw speech in which, at the end, he called for regime change in Russia: "For [indeed], this man cannot remain in power." Predictably, that seemingly unscripted outburst has provoked a crisis in international relations. The Washington Post headlines: "How Biden sparked a global uproar with nine ad-libbed words about Putin." [...] The Post assumes that Biden is a sentient being whose intentions are worth discussing. Many would think, on the contrary, that this kind of imprudent outburst is merely a symptom of his dementia. Ann [Althouse] makes a comment that occurred to me as well: ["]AA: Watching the video, I can't understand the basis for labeling the statement 'ad-libbed.' Biden seems to be reading a speech, a bit robotically and on the edge of stumbling, and he slows down a bit and gets quite emphatic. He seems to build up toward that conclusion and fully intend it as a conclusion. I don't see how it's 'an unwanted distraction to... otherwise forceful remarks.' It's delivered in a manner that is more forceful than the surrounding remarks.["] That is true. Is it possible that someone wrote a speech for Biden that included a significant change in American foreign policy, and he read it off the teleprompter? One of Ann's commenters writes, "Release the teleprompter script!"

Walking it Back: Joe Biden Now Says He Was Not Calling for Regime Change in Russia. President Joe Biden said Sunday he was not calling for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be removed from office, in a speech he delivered Saturday in Poland. Back in the United States, reporters shouted a question to the president about his speech as he attended church Sunday evening [3/27/2022] in Washington, DC. "Mr. President, do you want Putin removed? Mr. President, were you calling for regime change?" a reporter shouted. "No," Biden replied before entering his presidential limousine and motorcading back to the White House.

The Editor says...
Yeah, that one-word denial should be plenty! Way to "walk it back," Joe.

Biden's silent as son's former friend and business partner faces jail, financial ruin. Hunter Biden's former best friend, Devon Archer, has been betrayed and abandoned by the Biden family — and who could blame him for feeling aggrieved? The president's son, who once told Archer he was "part of a great family — not a sideshow, not deserted by them even in your darkest moments," won't return calls to his former business partner. Now, barring a last-ditch appeal by his lawyer, Archer has less than five weeks left before he has to go to jail to serve a one-year, one-month sentence over a fraud he says he had no knowledge his then-partners were committing, and which cost him his life's savings. Friends who attended the sentencing in Manhattan last month say that the father of three has mentally prepared himself for prison, and that his hopes for a presidential pardon have faded.

The Editor says...
Loyalty only goes in one direction in the Biden Crime Family.

Secretary of State Blinken is forced to walk back Biden's unscripted declaration that Putin 'cannot remain in power'. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday that the United States is not looking for 'regime change' in Moscow or anywhere else in the world after President Joe Biden said Vladimir Putin 'cannot remain in power.' Biden went directly after the Russian autocrat in an emotional speech on Saturday, warning if Putin's ambitions went unchecked it could lead to decades of war in Europe. Speaking to reporters in Jerusalem the next day, Blinken explained that his boss was likely referring to Putin's influence outside of his country — including Moscow's bloody and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine which has now spanned over a month. 'I think the president, the White House, made the point last night that, quite simply, President Putin cannot be empowered to wage war or engage in aggression against Ukraine or anyone else,' Blinken said according to multiple reports.

Six New Photos Of Soldiers Looking At Biden With Disgust Have Emerged. Joe Biden's trip overseas has been a disaster! Biden has dramatically escalated his rhetoric against Vladimir Putin, calling for the Russian leader to be removed because of his brutal invasion of Ukraine. "[...], this man cannot remain in power," Biden's said at the very end of a speech in Poland's capital that served as the capstone on a four-day trip to Europe. Biden has frequently talked about ensuring that the Kremlin's now two-month invasion becomes a "strategic failure" for Putin and has described the Russian leader as a "war criminal." But until his remarks in Warsaw, the American leader had not said that Putin should not run Russia.

Could Biden gaffe us into world war three? The White House, in what is now a familiar routine, issued a quick clarification. The President was not demanding 'regime change' in Moscow. It just sounded a lot like he did. 'The President's point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbours or the region,' said the statement. Ah. Yet this was Biden's third potentially world war three-triggering blunder in as many days. On Thursday, at the G7 summit, he told the press that if Russia used chemical weapons, his country would 'respond in kind'. Did he really mean the US would breach international law if Russia did? We just have to hope he didn't. On Friday [3/25/2022], speaking to the 82nd Airborne about Ukraine, Biden said: 'You're gonna see when you're there — some of you have been there'. This one was a Biden special: a gaffe that fails on two levels, since the Commander-in-Chief not only suggested that US troops were about to be sent in to the war zone — in direct contradiction to his government's policy — he also managed to imply that his forces had already been secretly operating there.

Chatter Of 25th Amendment Erupts After Biden Ramps Up Escalation Talk On Russia, White House Bats Cleanup. Chatter concerning the possible removal of President Joe Biden, 79, from the White House erupted online this weekend after the president on multiple occasions seemed to blurt out escalation talk regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine, all in contrast with White House messaging. The Daily Wire highlighted that Biden's seemingly off-the-cuff remarks had to quickly be addressed and walked-back by the administration. In one instance, Biden told a group of American troops in Poland that they were going to see the "backbone" and "guts" of the Ukrainian people "when you're there," suggesting the U.S. was putting boots on the ground in Ukraine, in contrast with White House statements and talking points.

Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
White House Rushes to Clarify Joe Biden Call to Remove Vladimir Putin from Power. The White House on Saturday moved quickly to clarify President Joe Biden's comment about removing Russian President Vladimir Putin from power in a dramatic speech in Warsaw, Poland. "For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power," Biden cried out as he finished his speech. "God bless you all and may God defend our freedom." It was unclear whether or not Biden's comment was part of his prepared text. But the White House soon released a statement to reporters questioning Biden's apparent call for regime change. "The President's point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region," a statement attributed to a senior White House official read. "He was not discussing Putin's power in Russia, or regime change."

The Editor says...
Of course, that's a lie. When Joe Biden said, "this man cannot remain in power," he was referring to Vladimir Putin. Biden said what he said. One can debate what he might have meant by his words, but his team can't clean up the mess by denying what he actually said.

Kremlin says it's not for Biden to say if Putin stays in power. The Kremlin dismissed a remark by U.S. President Joe Biden on Saturday that Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power," saying it was up to Russians to choose their own president. Asked about Biden's comment, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Reuters: "That's not for Biden to decide. The president of Russia is elected by Russians." A White House official said Biden, who was speaking in Warsaw, had not been calling for "regime change" in Russia but his point was that "Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region".

President Biden's Putin speech in Poland is a catastrophe. Joe Biden's call-to-arms speech in Poland was long on soaring rhetoric about the virtues of democracy but woefully short on what more the West will do to help Ukraine defeat the Russian invasion. But by the time he got to the finish, most of that was forgotten. What mattered most and what will be remembered for a long time was a single line the president of the United States said about the president of Russia: "For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power." In the context of the speech and the slaughter of Ukrainian civilians, it's impossible to understand that line as anything other than a call for regime change, a move that would dramatically raise the stakes with Russia at a time when Biden has been at pains to lower them.

Almost 1/4 of Democrat Voters Believe Biden Would Not Be President Today if The Media Had Fully Reported About Hunter's Laptop. Following the New York Times' recent acknowledgment that the infamous Hunter Biden laptop is actually 100% legit, new polling released this week by Rasmussen Reports shows that a growing number of Democrat voters are waking up to the fact that the 2020 election was, at the very least, rigged, if not outright stolen. In other words, the narrative is crumbling — it's impossible to hide the fact that Biden is an illegitimate and incompetent president. According to the poll from March 24th, nearly a quarter of registered Democrat voters now believe that Joe would not be president today if the media had done their jobs and fully reported the story about Hunter's laptop when the contents were released in the lead up to the 2020 election.

White House Rushes to Clarify Joe Biden Call to Remove Vladimir Putin from Power. The White House on Saturday moved quickly to clarify President Joe Biden's comment about removing Russian President Vladimir Putin from power in a dramatic speech in Warsaw, Poland. "[...], this man cannot remain in power," Biden cried out as he finished his speech. "God bless you all and may God defend our freedom." It was unclear whether or not Biden's comment was part of his prepared text. But the White House soon released a statement to reporters questioning Biden's apparent call for regime change.

How Biden sparked a global uproar with nine ad-libbed words about Putin. During his presidential campaign, President Biden often reminded his audience about the heavy weight that the words of a president can carry. "The words of a president matter," he said more than once. "They can move markets. They can send our brave men and women to war. They can bring peace." They can also, as Biden discovered on Saturday, spark a global uproar in the middle of a war. With nine ad-libbed words at the end of a 27-minute speech, Biden created an unwanted distraction to his otherwise forceful remarks by calling for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be pushed out of office.

Beau Biden Foundation rakes in millions, spends fraction on kid programs. The Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children raked in $3.9 million in 2020, but spent only a fraction of that on its purported mission to help kids, The [New York] Post has learned. The Delaware-based charity, which was started in honor of President Biden's late son, got an infusion of $1.8 million from the Biden Foundation before that group shut down in 2020, according to the charities' latest tax filings. The Biden Foundation was started by Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, to champion "progress and prosperity for American families." The Beau Biden charity also took in $225,000 from entities tied to a top political donor and bundler to President Biden. Despite the $2 million-plus windfall, the organization put only $544,961 in 2020 toward its stated purpose of protecting children from abuse, according to tax filings.

4 Big Takeaways From The New York Times's Attempt To Control The Hunter Biden Narrative. [#1] If the Laptop Is Legit, So Are the Scandals the Laptop Exposed: The first key takeaway from The New York Times article concerns what it means for the scandals spawned by the October 2020 release of the emails and text messages contained on Hunter Biden's MacBook. The supposed standard-bearers of journalism ignored those scandals for the last year-and-a-half by framing the material "Russian disinformation." Now that the Times has acknowledged that the Biden-related emails and other documents recovered from the abandoned laptop are authentic, that means the scandals they exposed are also legitimate. As summarized at The Federalist [elsew]here, there are eight Joe Biden scandals that deserve investigation.

A Broken Country Buries a Broken Laptop. There has been a lot of ink spilled over Hunter Biden's broken laptop and the way it was treated in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election, but not nearly enough. Now The New York Times has admitted, almost two years too late, that materials in the laptop were in fact authentic. There is no more perfect encapsulation of the problems in American media and tech than this tragic story. To recap, on Oct. 14, 2020, just weeks before the presidential election, the New York Post broke a huge story about emails found on a Hunter Biden laptop recovered from a computer repair shop. The corporate media reacted to this story by: 1. calling into question the authenticity of the materials and raising the prospect, without evidence, that it could be Russian disinformation; 2. dismissing the relevance of the information, even if accurate; and 3. based on the first two points, mostly ignoring the report altogether.

Biden Just Stuck His Foot Straight in His Mouth in a Way That Could Set off WWIII. Joe Biden arrived in Poland on Friday to meet with the Polish president. While there, he also met with the U.S. military members who are stationed there as part of the NATO defense of Poland. He met with some of the 82nd Airborne. Some of what he said during the visit was very concerning and is likely to excite all kinds of comments. Biden frequently says embarrassing things and it's bad. But this time, what he said is even worse and could blow back on us big time. First, let's deal with what I would term the "normal" bad embarrassing stuff from Biden. When he was talking about his Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, he referred to him as "Secretary of State." [Tweet]

Joe Biden sure is friendly with Iran. I wonder why.
Biden Administration May Allow Russia To Buy Iran's Excess Enriched Uranium Under New Nuclear Deal. The Biden administration is considering allowing Russia to buy Iran's excess enriched uranium under the terms of a new nuclear deal, U.S. officials said this week. Under the original Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPO) in 2015, Russia agreed to buy Iran's excess uranium so that the regime could not build a nuclear weapon, a role that may be revived in the new deal. "Would it be a practical role for Russia to play the same role that it did in the JCPOA prior to the decision to withdraw from it, essentially to accept and to pay for the highly enriched uranium to get it out of Iran's hands so that Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon? I think that's a role we'd be willing to entertain. Yes," State Department spokesperson Ned Price said Wednesday [3/23/2022].

Biden says he'd be 'very fortunate' to face Trump in 2024 — and Euro allies think he's 'up to the job'. President Biden said Thursday [3/24/2022] he would welcome a 2024 rematch against former President Donald Trump while insisting that European leaders have confidence in his leadership. Biden gave the rare commentary on his re-election chances during a press conference that lasted less than 20 minutes in Brussels after a foreign journalist asked about concern among US allies that Trump could return to office. "The next election, I'd be very fortunate if I had that same man running against me," Biden insisted after attending NATO and G7 meetings to discuss Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Rep. Darrell Issa Hits Twelve Individuals Involved in 'Laptop From Hell' Election Interference with Document Preservation Notices. Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) has submitted document preservation notices to twelve individuals from the intelligence community, White House, Facebook, and Twitter — as Republicans in Congress are gearing up to take back majorities and investigate election interference with regard to the suppression of the "Laptop From Hell" series in October 2020. Rep. Issa is demanding former DNI boss James Clapper, former CIA boss Micheal Hayden, former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, former CIA head John Brennan, former top CIA aide Nick Shapiro, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Meta Communications Director Andy Stone, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, and current Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal all preserve documents relating to their involvement in suppressing the New York Post's bombshell exposé on the Hunter Biden laptop in the lead up to the 2020 presidential election, according to letters obtained exclusively by Breitbart News.

Jim Jordan Says the House of Representatives Should Consider Impeaching Joe Biden. GOP Rep. Jim Jordan (OH) said Friday that House Republicans should weigh the possibility of impeaching President Joe Biden over the president's poor job performance, particularly his administration's inability to curb the surge of illegal immigration at the southern border. "I think that's definitely a discussion we have to have," Jordan told The Washington Times at a Republican planning retreat in Florida. He explained that every House Republican would need to support impeaching the commander-in-chief. "The conference has to decide," Jordan said. "You have to have complete buy-in from the entire conference and the leadership of our conference."

Hunter Biden DID help secure millions in funding for US contractor in Ukraine specializing in deadly pathogen research, laptop emails reveal. Moscow's claim that Hunter Biden helped finance a US military 'bioweapons' research program in Ukraine is at least partially true, according to new emails obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com. The commander of the Russian Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Forces, claimed there was a 'scheme of interaction between US government agencies and Ukrainian biological objects' and pointed to the 'financing of such activities by structures close to the current US leadership, in particular the investment fund Rosemont Seneca, which is headed by Hunter Biden.' Intelligence experts say the Russian military leader's allegations were a brazen propaganda ploy to justify president Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine and sow discord in the US.

The White House can't just wash away the stink of Hunter Biden's laptop. The White House at some point is going to have to address Hunter Biden's laptop. For 17 months, Joe Biden and his aides have ignored the scandal, broken by The [New York] Post three weeks before the 2020 election. They have denied our revelations, refused to respond to our questions, told lies, and relied on their media and Big Tech allies to censor and cover up credible allegations of corruption involving the president and his family. But the dam is about to burst, as more Americans learn about the scandal and draw negative conclusions about Biden's integrity. An exclusive Rasmussen poll obtained by The Post shows a staggering 65% of voters believe it is "likely" that Joe Biden was involved in — and may have profited from — his son Hunter's overseas business deals; 48% say it is "very likely."

Why did the president tweet out a fake photo of himself leaving for Europe? Alright, I know President Biden is heading to Europe. I do. But why does he have to go and tweet this absolutely fake photo alongside his travel announcement? [Tweet] I mean, the photo is nice and everything, but it's obviously not real — or possibly it's from last year or something.

Did The New York Times Admits Joe Biden Is Corrupt So Democrats Can Get Rid Of Him? It is painfully obvious, as was predictable, that Joe Biden's presidency is a dumpster fire. As demonstrated by the party's destructive callousness towards children, the elderly, and the poor during their Covid lockdown frenzy, Democrats care about none of these real-world results of their policies. But they do care about polling, and Joe Biden's is abysmal. According to even heavily politicized polls, Biden is at least performing as badly as Donald Trump. Biden is between the third- and fifth-most ratings-underwater president ever in American history at this point in his first term.

Joe Biden Shows up at NATO Grinning Like a Cheshire Cat — But Does He Even Know Where He Is? I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that Biden won't be spending his umpteenth weekend vacationing at his beach house in Delaware over the next few days. The bad news is that he's spending that time in Europe attempting to diffuse a possible world war. So yeah, that's not preferable for the rest of us given his track record. A promotional video of the president's arrival at NATO in Brussels has been released, and there are several noteworthy things about it. Here's what that looked like. [Tweet] [...] Does he know why he's there? In case he missed it, Russia has invaded Europe. Again, Russia has invaded Europe. Given that, why is the President of the United states preening for the cameras like he's doing a red carpet walk? People are dying, partly because of his impotence as a leader, and he's out here enjoying the view.

Democrats' Kamala Harris problem. The Democratic Party has a unique problem when it considers the 2024 presidential election. Joe Biden, the oldest president in U.S. history, will be 82 at the end of his first term. There is widespread speculation he will not run for reelection, although he insists he will. The suspicion among many in the political world that Biden will not run again threatens to turn him into a first-term lame duck. Or perhaps it already has.

AG Barr Zeroes in on the Real Interference That Occurred in the Last Presidential Election. Former Attorney General William Barr has a new book out, so he's making the rounds. He's rehashing some of the controversies of the 2020 election. Specifically, he's commenting on the Hunter Biden laptop story that has finally been realized as authentic by the liberal media. Now, we knew this already back when it was originally reported by The New York Post in October of 2020. The Post was censored by big tech over this piece of journalism that made Joe Biden look awful. It wasn't Russian disinformation, though every intelligence official came out of the woodwork to say so without evidence. They signed a letter. Joe even lied about his son's laptop during the debates which disturbed Barr immensely. The former DOJ chief now says this story was weaponized to tilt the election, and it very well could be responsible for Biden's win.

Biden Donor Awarded White House Post, Millions in Fed Contracts. One of President Joe Biden's top donors and "closest friends" has scored millions of dollars in federal contracts and a prestigious job in the White House, according to a Washington Free Beacon review of government records. Biden in September of last year placed close confidant Joe Kiani, the founder and CEO of the medical technology company Masimo Corporation, on the influential President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Kiani's company, which manufactures various medical devices, has received almost $3 million in federal government contracts since Biden took office in 2021. Its contracts include funding from the Department of Defense and Department of Health and Human Services.

Did The New York Times Admit Joe Biden Is Corrupt So Democrats Can Get Rid Of Him? It is painfully obvious, as was predictable, that Joe Biden's presidency is a dumpster fire. As demonstrated by the party's destructive callousness towards children, the elderly, and the poor during their Covid lockdown frenzy, Democrats care about none of these real-world results of their policies. But they do care about polling, and Joe Biden's is abysmal. [...] Biden of course also has the advantage of a wildly favorable press and social media monopoly while Trump had the strong headwind of a wildly negative one. That factor obscured for a great many of American voters actions that easily demonstrated long before his election that Biden was unfit for the presidency. Now that he's president, however, and very publicly bungling essentially every major issue all the way up to U.S. national security, Biden's weakness and incompetence have been impossible for the corrupt media to entirely cover up.

Barr: Biden flat-out lied about Hunter's laptop — and so did the media. "I was shocked by that," Bill Barr told Fox News' John Roberts. Really? No one who's watched Joe Biden for any length of time could be surprised by Biden lying, especially in self-promotion. Even before becoming president, Biden has made a lifelong hobby of collecting Pinocchios. Nevertheless, Barr declares Biden's lie about Hunter Biden's laptop being nothing but "Russian disinformation" a particularly noxious example, and he's right ... at least about the media's complicity in it: [Video clip]

8 Joe Biden Scandals Inside Hunter Biden's MacBook That Corporate Media Just Admitted Is Legit. Last week, The New York Times quietly acknowledged that the emails recovered from the MacBook Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware computer store were authentic. The admission came nearly a year-and-a-half late, after the corrupt media — legacy and social — buried the scandal the New York Post broke just weeks before the November election. Merely admitting the laptop is legitimate is not enough. Rather, by concurring in the authenticity of the laptop and the emails, the supposed standard-bearers of journalism have also implicitly acknowledged the validity of the scandals spawn by the porn-filled MacBook. And notwithstanding the salacious source of the documentary evidence of the scandals, the scandals are not about Hunter Biden: They are about now-President Biden.

Controversy brews after video shows Norco preschoolers chanting against Biden. A President's Day lesson turned controversial when a Norco parent saw video of her daughter among students chanting "we want him out" after her teacher asked the class who the president is and "what do we want to do with him?" Video of the 4 and 5 year olds chanting the political statement about Joe Biden was posted on an internal app for parents of students at Turning Point Christian School, and that's how Christina McFadden saw it. She said she watched the video several times in horror.

The Editor says...
I got the impression that stuff like this was fairly routine when Trump was president. Now it's supposed to be outrageous. Don't forget that many public schools were used as Obama indoctrination centers before Trump was elected.

Liberal Parents Get Triggered After Learning Their Preschoolers Joined In An Anti-Biden Chant. A Southern California private school apologized to parents after a teacher shared a video last month of her leading preschool students in a chant denouncing President Joe Biden. The video obtained by ABC 7 News in Los Angeles shows the unnamed teacher at Turning Point Christian School in Norco asking the 4- and 5-year-olds, "Who's our president?" When they answer in unison, "Biden," the teacher then asks, "What do we want to do with him?" The students shout back, "We want him out!" [Video clip]

The Editor says...
Most Americans would be happier with someone else in the White House. Even a lot of Democrats want Biden removed. The New York Times turned its back on Joe Biden a few days ago, after protecting him for years. The school kids are chanting in agreement with an idea that's not far from the mainstream.

The Hidden Truth About Joe Biden's Brother Involvement In Iraq. The phrase, the 'Biden Crime Family' has been trending on Twitter lately and some may think it's just rhetoric, but if one was to just take a quick look at Biden's family they would see that there is corruption all around them. For starters, while Joe Biden was Vice President, his son Hunter was doing shady business deals in Ukraine, Choja, and Kazakhstan. Hunter's shady business dealings have been under fire for the last year, but what hasn't been widely reported is Joe Biden's brother, James Biden's corrupt business dealing in Iraq. In 2011 while Joe Biden was Vice President his brother James Biden was rewarded a 1.2 Billion dollar contract to build affordable residential homes in Iraq. Many residential housing developments companies were shocked James Biden got the [deal,] considering at the time he was awarded the contract he was not a big name in the industry at all. According to the New York Post, James Biden only got the contract due to his last name[.]

The article above refers to this article from 10/23/2012:
Crony capitalism & Joe Biden's brother. James Biden isn't a big name in the business of residential housing development, so what exactly qualifies him to work at a construction company and share in the winnings of a $1.5 billion project to build affordable homes in Iraq? If you said it has something to do with his last name, the one shared by his older brother Vice President Joe Biden, you wouldn't be far off. At least that's the guess of some Wall Street analysts who cover the Marlton, NJ-based company Hill International and think they've seen yet another sordid tale of crony capitalism. [...] Hill chief Irv Richter called Biden a "good salesman" and the firm's Web site describes "40 years of experience dealing with principals in business, political, legal and financial circles across the nation and internationally." [...] Richter assures me that James' ties to Joe played no part in landing the plum assignment in Iraq or any of the other government-related jobs Hill has received recently. Really? Connect these dots: Both the Iraqi government and the Obama State Department played roles in helping Hill win the assignment, Richter concedes. And Joe Biden is President Obama's point man on Iraq — a country where people expect politicians' families to be "taken care of."

Joe Biden, Ukraine, and a Reign of Error. Biden may jaw about how the buck stops at his desk, but he rarely assumes responsibility for what's going on here or abroad — unless, of course, the news is favorable. During his ignominious retreat from Afghanistan, he shrugged off queries about the recent deaths of Afghans desperately clinging to the wings of departing aircraft, regarding it as old news. Another discouraging parallel between the Biden administration's handling of the Afghan and Ukraine crises is the fact that in both events, "conventional wisdom" — based on our "intelligence" — proved dead wrong. Before America's leave-taking from Afghanistan, Biden assured us that the Afghan air force was more than up to the task.

Schweizer: Laptop Not Just a Hunter Biden Story, President Biden is Compromised. Best selling author and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer stopped by Sunday Morning Futures to break down the latest developments on the now infamous — New York Times approved — Hunter Biden laptop from hell. Schweizer says the story goes straight to the Oval. "There's a couple of things that people have to keep in mind," Schweizer tells host Maria Bartiromo. "The first is if you look at the three big flashpoints in American foreign policy today — Ukraine, Russia and China — the Biden's family has received funds, millions of dollars — in some cases and tens of millions of dollars from powerful individuals connected to the government in each of those countries. That's the first factor." "The second factor is this is not just a Hunter Biden story," Schweizer continues.

Because of suppression and censorship by the media and social networks, the 2020 presidential election was not free and fair. With the over-reliance on early voting, drop-off ballot boxes, and ballot harvesting, Election Day is almost an afterthought, we now have Election Season. And the '20 surprise was a shocker, as the New York Post revealed that it had obtained a copy of the hard drive of a MacBook Pro laptop computer that Hunter dropped off at the aforementioned repair shop and then apparently forgot about it, like an old suit left behind with a dry cleaner. Besides embarrassing photos, emails discovered on the hard drive by the Post revealed what intelligent people with an open mind long suspected, that Hunter Biden was the head of an influence peddling ring that profited from the political career of his lifetime politician father. Or perhaps Joe Biden, "the Big Guy," who might have been the recipient of 10 percent of a never-realized financial deal with a Chinese energy firm, was in charge, was the CEO of a Chicago-style political racketeering operation, a bit like this one. Twitter, Facebook, and the mainstream media — Fox News was a major exception — immediately went on attack mode to block and suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Biden says the quiet part out loud. I sort of sympathize with puppet masters using Joe Biden as their front man in the Oval Office. He doesn't know his limitations, he's headstrong, and he's garrulous. So, he is prone to spilling the beans when he's been briefed about the plans for the schemes they are implementing. That happened Monday [3/21/2022] when he made a brief speech to the Business Roundtable — a group of powerful executives, just the sort of people Biden loves to schmooze and (he thinks) impress. Toward the end, as his voice and demeanor were weakening, he blurted out the real agenda. Ryan Saavedra of The Daily Wire spotted the classic Kinsley gaffe (accidentally telling the truth). You see, the invasion of Ukraine is a great excuse to impose a "new world order."

Joe Biden Just Let the Cat out of the Bag: A 'New World Order' Is Coming. While Joe Biden doesn't do much in the way of solving any problems, I do have to say that he's certainly is active — along with his administration — in spreading propaganda and the Democratic narrative on a variety of issues. We saw how his White House reached out to "brief" about 30 TikTok "influencers" on the Russian war against Ukraine. We later saw the result of that "briefing", which was about selling why it was Vladimir Putin's fault that the gas prices were going up, not Joe Biden. On Monday [3/21/2022], according to the White House, Biden met with "16 CEOs of major companies across several industries including energy, food, and manufacturing to provide a briefing on the latest developments on Putin's unprovoked and unjustified war against Ukraine." Can there be any doubt that they did the same thing they did with the TikTokers and handed out the talking points for the CEOs? But while he was talking with the CEOs, Joe Biden said something that has a lot of people talking — he said the quiet part out loud.

The Democrats' radical, undemocratic agenda. For all their talk about protecting democracy, Democrats sure are proving quick to abandon it by sidelining Congress and pushing President Joe Biden to enact a far-left agenda unilaterally through executive action. Last week, the Congressional Progressive Caucus released "Recommendations for Executive Action," a six-page document outlining policies that left-wing Democrats failed to persuade even a Democratic-controlled Congress to pass. They now want Biden to use presidential power alone to implement what has been rejected by the representatives of the wider public. Can there be a more crystalline example of elitism over equality?

Do Impeachments Really Make a Difference? [Scroll down] Then we come to Donald Trump. I can't exactly remember how many times he was impeached in the House. But it didn't matter, because somehow, in the small hours of November 4, 2020, the votes were there to get rid of him. A miracle. Now, of course the window washers are coming for Joe Biden. We hear that his son and heir is likely to be indicted and that, well, maybe — but still it's probably a Russian plot after all — that maybe the laptop of which you've heard tell really did belong to Hunter Biden. According to the New York Times even! Okay. So the only question is how to get rid of Kamala Harris, vice-president of Cackle, and don't dare mispronounce her name or you are a racist. Then the president can nominate a replacement vice president, per the 25th Amendment, and the nominee only needs a majority in both houses of Congress. Then the president can resign in disgrace because Ukrainian corruption and a glorious new era will dawn.

Hunter Biden laptop recap and overview:
Conspirators in Their Own Words. When Hunter Biden's laptop turned up just days before the 2020 election with incriminating emails outlining how the Biden family had been shaking down foreign governments using Joe Biden prominence as a past senator and vice president, the Left screamed "conspiracy"! Joe Biden swore it was "Russian disinformation." He attacked Trump for "collusion." Fifty former "intelligence officers" signed on to a public letter blasting the mysteriously appearing laptop as a likely Russian disinformation plot. We should have been suspicious for a variety of reasons. The two chief signees were John Brennan, former CIA director, and James Clapper, former director of national intelligence. Both were infamous for two reasons. One, they were loud, paid cable-TV pundits, hired to vent their hatred of Donald Trump. And two, both had been previously caught lying under oath to Congress about intelligence matters. Anyone who read the communications, listened to confirmations of Hunter's onetime partner Tony Bobulinski, knew anything about Hunter's serial drug addictions and propensities for losing drug paraphernalia, cell phones, and laptops, and digested the left-wing outrage, knew the laptop was genuine. No matter — the New York Times and other media blasted them as "conspiracists." And those smears worked.

The Foreign Policy Ramifications of Hunter's Emails. On April 12, 2019, Hunter Biden took his damaged laptop to a computer repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware. It was the beginning of a series of fateful events that would culminate in The New York Times finally admitting on March 17, 2022, that Biden's laptop and its contents were real. Previous reporting by the New York Post detailed emails that were found on Hunter Biden's laptop that showed that then-presidential candidate Joe Biden, his brother James, and son Hunter Biden were all deeply entangled in various overseas business ventures, including Qatar, Ukraine, Russia, and China. The emails also showed that Hunter Biden was directed by the head of a Ukrainian energy company's board to find a way to stop the investigation into the company. While the authenticity of his laptop had been confirmed earlier, it unfortunately took verification by The New York Times to allow the story to enter the mainstream.

Hunter Biden and the media's feedback loop. Well over a year after the presidential election, long after all mainstream media outlets killed a legitimate story about Hunter Biden's infamous laptop, the New York Times finally announced it had "authenticated" the computer and its messages. [...] It's still unclear how deeply and directly Hunter's father, Joe, is implicated in this sleazy business, which went on for years. Not that the Times wanted to know any of this when it mattered most, before the 2020 election. [...] NPR and the Times were hardly alone in killing the story. The Post was the only major paper that investigated and ran the [bad] news. Fox News was the only TV source that reported on it. For that investigative work, the Post deserved a roomful of journalistic prizes but, predictably, it received none. Why "predictably"? Because the folks who award prizes are the same hall monitors who try to control public discussion. They were the ones who suppressed the laptop story. The media malfeasance doesn't end there. [...]

A Warning for the Gatekeepers in the Liberal Media. On Thursday, the New York Times confirmed that Hunter Biden's laptop, which was full of illicit material and damaging information on the Bidens, was indeed authentic. In a report on a Justice Department investigation of Hunter Biden's business dealings, they cited emails from the very laptop the mainstream media previously dismissed as Russian disinformation. "Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation," the newspaper admitted. Is that so? That's funny because I remember when 50 former senior intelligence officials signed on to a letter claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop story had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." Their letter gave Joe Biden cover to pretend it didn't exist, gave the media an excuse not to cover the story, and provided social media the pretense to censor any discussion about it. But we knew the truth. And we refused to be bullied into silence.

Glenn Greenwald Blows Up Media's Collusion To Shield Hunter Biden. Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald laid into corporate media in a Twitter thread on Saturday morning, detailing how government officials and media outlets had effectively colluded to protect President Joe Biden's embattled son Hunter — particularly during the 2020 presidential election. Greenwald ultimately left The Intercept, the outlet he cofounded, when he was asked to sanitize an article he was writing about then-candidate Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and their past dealings with both China and Ukraine — and he argued Saturday that multiple media outlets had been drawn into the coordinated effort to protect the Bidens. His comments come in the wake of a report from The New York Times — which, in addition to confirming that Hunter Biden remains under a federal investigation, let slip that the emails found on the laptop he reportedly abandoned at a Delaware repair shop were, in fact, authentic.

Republicans demand new probe into Hunter Biden laptop, coverup. A growing number of Republicans around the country are demanding a new investigation into Hunter Biden after the New York Times confirmed the authenticity of a laptop whose contents were published by The [New York] Post 17 months ago. Though The Post exclusively revealed in September 2020 the existence of Hunter Biden's laptop and the potentially compromising material contained there, the story was censored by social media companies at the behest of the Democratic Party. Mainstream media outlets — including The Times — attacked or ignored The Post revelations, while the Biden administration falsely suggested it was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. More than 50 intelligence agency officials publicly attempted to discredit the coverage saying it had "the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation" — and none offered any apology when contacted by The Post this week. Upstate Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney said Saturday that the episode demanded congressional action.

What Happened to the 51 Intel Agents Who Assured Us Hunter's Laptop was Russian Disinformation? The whole world knows now that Hunter Biden's legendary laptop is real, and as Matt Margolis noted Friday, "all that's left is anger — anger at how the media and Big Tech deliberately suppressed this damaging story about Hunter Biden to protect Joe Biden in the waning weeks of the presidential campaign." Foremost among those protecting Old Joe were 51 senior American intelligence officials who on Oct. 19, 2020, published a statement asserting that "the arrival on the US political scene of emails purportedly belonging to Vice President Biden's son Hunter, much of it related to his time serving on the Board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." It wasn't. None of these alleged intel agents, however, have come clean and admitted that they lied and that Hunter's laptop was genuine. Not a single one.

White House ignores its Hunter problem. It is hardly vindication of The Post's flawless reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop that 17 months late, the New York Times has admitted the laptop is real. It is an indictment of the Times and a betrayal of their readers who were kept in the dark about the true nature of Joe Biden before the 2020 election. But now that we are all on the same page, there are some serious questions the administration needs to answer, which go to America's national security at a time of international peril. [...] The refusal of the Times and the rest of the media to cover this story amounted to election interference. Polls show that about 10% of Biden voters would have changed their vote if they had known about the scandal. That would have had a material effect on the result. Which, of course, was the point.

There's A Critical Vacancy In The Oval Office. Biden set himself up for the fall. On day one of his administration, he shut down the Keystone pipeline. From that day forward, his White House did all in its power to limit the domestic production of fossil fuels. Russia's Vladimir Putin had to watch in wonder as the world's one energy-independent superpower rendered itself as vulnerable to Putin's energy whims as its weak sisters in the European Union. Putin had to watch in wonder, too, as the world's mightiest military focused not on improving its fighting strength, but on making life more comfortable for transgender recruits, on hectoring the existing troops with divisive critical race theory, and terminating those troops who refused to sacrifice their bodies to unproven science.

Biden Administration and Biden's DOJ Blatantly Ignore Real and Perceived Conflicts of Interest in the Administration. The Biden Administration and the Biden Justice Department continue to ignore actual and perceived conflicts of interest with the Biden family. There are no efforts to address any of this. This coverup is a crime by the DOJ. In most all professions there are rules governing conflicts of interest. If an auditor, for example, is hired for an engagement, he or she cannot have any real or perceived conflicts of interest. If there are any, the auditor must recuse himself or herself from the engagement.

Psaki: We have no idea if Hunter Biden got a ton of money from China and Russia. We recently learned that the huge group of "intel experts" who signed a 2020 letter essentially declaring the Hunter Biden laptop story to be Russian disinformation have all come down with a sudden case of either amnesia or laryngitis. Not even an admission by the venerable New York Times that the story was legit seems to have helped jog their memories or loosen their tongues. The New York Post, who first validated and broke the Hunter Biden laptop story 17 months earlier, has been taking a well-deserved victory lap and they're not done yet. A reporter for the Post brought a series of related and quite relevant questions to White House spokesperson Jen Psaki this week. They specifically wanted to know what she had learned about potential conflicts of interest for Joe Biden, given his son's lucrative business dealings with China and Russia. Strangely, despite these stories showing up all across the media spectrum, Psaki didn't appear to have any idea what the reporter was talking about.

Biden's Handlers Are Preparing to Eject Him (and Kamala). The last several days have been full of wonder at the New York Time[s]'s admission that, guess what, Hunter Biden's "laptop from hell" was not — as Joe Biden claimed — "Russian disinformation." Nope, everything that Donald Trump said to Leslie Stahl about it was true. Everything the New York Post said about it was true. Twitter and the rest of the regime media pronounced a damnatio memoriae on the Post and anyone who dared publicize the scurrilous story. The poor computer repair chap who found and publicized the dirt, political as well as sexual, on Hunter's laptop was hounded and driven into bankruptcy. (Remember Jonah Goldberg on that poor fellow? I do. "Wait you believe the computer repair shop story? Like at face value?") [...] The issue is never the issue. I suspect that Joe Biden is being prepped for ejection. Exactly how it will happen I do not yet know. But he is on the threshold, or possibly has even passed the threshold, where he could appear to govern. His minders understand this. They must be the ones to replace him, otherwise they themselves risk being replaced, which would be intolerable. As I say, it's not entirely clear yet how the defenestration will take place. Obviously, Kamala will have to be dealt with first, and she will be. Look for some ground softening stories such as the Times just served up about the laptop.

White House Feed Cut After Biden Confronted on Call with Xi Jinping — The Look On Biden's Face Speaks Volumes. [Scroll down] While the White House did not detail what those consequences could be, or how the U.S. would define "material support", press secretary Jen Psaki indicated China's massive trade flows could be impacted. [...] Speaking after a nearly two-hour video call between Biden and Xi, Psaki said the United States would communicate any consequences directly to Beijing "with our European partners and counterparts." However, the cruel reality is that Bdeen probably did nothing! After President Biden ignored reporters confronting him with questions about his phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping the White House feed was cut and Biden's face did tell us the truth!

WH Gets Grilling on Hunter Related Conflicts and Joe's Meeting With Russian Billionaire. I asked this question on Thursday — now that you had the New York Times admitting that the Hunter Biden laptop was authentic, something that should have been done long ago, back in 2020 when the NY Post broke the story — would the media step up and press the Biden Administration about all the problems and issues that were laid out in the laptop, particularly all the potential conflicts of interest because of the connections to China, Russia, and Ukraine? The White House did all they could to deflect when the news hit on Thursday, so I wasn't holding out a lot of hope that anyone would continue to grill the White House on some of the serious conflicts that the issue posed. But lo and behold, on Friday, there were even more pointed questions about the conflicts of interest. Tucked in there was a fascinating piece of information involving Joe Biden himself.

White House Spokesperson Jen Psaki Gets Very Nervous When Questioned About Joe Biden Financial Conflicts of Interest in Russia, Ukraine and China. Joe Biden's press secretary was questioned today about the Biden family's well documented dealing with Russian Billionaires, Ukraine officials and Hunter Biden's deals with China. The specific question was asking how the White House handles the conflicts of interest when engaging with policy decisions over Russia, Ukraine and China. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki nervously attempted to avoid the questions, but her responses shouted guilt.

Will the real US President please stand up? Presidential Impersonator Biden does not have the authority either to choose a question or to answer it without a script. Jen Psaki does have both of those authorities. So it is obvious that Psaki is above Biden in the non Biden white house administration. It is equally obvious the Joe Biden is not the true President of the US. It is apparent, from his many senior moments, that he does not have the intellectual capacity to be the commander in chief of the US armed forces. If he cannot fend off a question from a journalist, then neither can he repel a military adversary. This is the most obvious democratic fraud I have seen in my life and nobody treats it as such. I am not talking about the vote rigging fraud of the 2020 US election. I am talking about a hidden president who did not get one vote. The true President of the United States, whoever he or she is, is the most obvious electoral fraud in the history of democracy.

Report: Hunter Biden Paid IRS $1M in 2021, Attempting to Evade Conviction or Long Sentence. Hunter Biden in 2021 paid an outstanding $1 million IRS tax bill to evade conviction or a long sentence, the New York Times reported Wednesday [3/16/2022]. Hunter reportedly paid the massive tax bill by taking out a loan. The tax payment does not protect Hunter from any potential incoming charges. As a grand jury continues the probe into Hunter's corrupt international business dealings, Hunter's taxes are just one potential crime among many. Working with his family, including his father, former Vice President Joe Biden, the probe into Hunter may include his business dealings with Ukrainian Energy company Burisma Holdings and a Chinese energy conglomerate.

'The cover-up may be an even bigger crime than the contents of Hunter's laptop'. Former President Trump's office and Republicans expressed vindication and slammed Big Tech for censoring reports on Hunter Biden's laptop after the New York Times confirmed authenticity of emails from the device. 'The Fake News covered it all up during a presidential election, which may be an even bigger crime than the contents of the laptop. It's well past time time for the truth!' Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich told DailyMail.com. 'The New York Times admits what we've known for years: the Hunter Biden laptop story was true. Big tech's censorship of this story was a disgrace,' Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., wrote on Twitter. 'For decades, the Biden family has cashed in on Joe's government service. Even today, Hunter Biden is getting paid millions for his 'artwork' in a corrupt arrangement blessed by the White House.'

FBN's Bartiromo: Then-DNI Ratcliffe Rebutted Claims Hunter's Laptop Was Russian Disinformation in 2020. On Friday's broadcast of the Fox Business Network's "Mornings with Maria," host Maria Bartiromo reacted to The New York Times admitting that the Hunter Biden laptop is authentic by pointing out that then-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe pushed back on assertions that the laptop was Russian misinformation back in October 2020. Bartiromo played a clip of Ratcliffe on the October 19, 2020 edition of her show. At the time, Ratcliffe said, "This is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign." During the appearance, Ratcliffe also reacted to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff's (D-CA) assertion that the laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign by stating, "The intelligence community doesn't believe that. Because there's no intelligence that supports that." And said, "Hunter Biden's laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign, and I think it's clear that the American people know that." Ratcliffe's assertions were defended by then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who said he had "every reason to believe [Ratcliffe's] got it exactly right." And FBI Assistant Director for Congressional Affairs Jill C. Tyson wrote that the FBI had "nothing to add at this time to the October 19th public statement by the Director of National Intelligence about the available actionable intelligence."

Spies who lie: 51 'intelligence' experts refuse to apologize for discrediting true Hunter Biden story. They are the supposed nonpartisan group of top spies looking out for the best interest of the nation. But the 51 former "intelligence" officials who cast doubt on The [New York] Post's Hunter Biden laptop stories in a public letter really were just desperate to get Joe Biden elected president. And more than a year later, even after their Deep State sabotage has been shown again and again to be a lie, they refuse to own up to how they undermined an election. The officials, including CNN pundit and professional fabricator James Clapper — a man who was nearly charged for perjury for lying to Congress — signed a letter saying that the laptop "has the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." What proof did they have? By their own admission, none. "We do not know if the emails ... are genuine or not," the letter said. They're just "suspicious." Why? Because they hurt Biden's campaign, that's evidence enough. Keep in mind this was written Oct. 19, 2020, five days after The Post published its first story. Neither Joe Biden nor Hunter Biden had denied the story, they simply deflected questions. Didn't these security experts think that if this was disinformation, the Biden campaign would have yelled to the heavens that the story was false?

Biden lays down the double standard during call with China's Xi Jinping. How can Biden get on his high horse to order China away from helping Russia in the current Russia-Ukraine conflict when we're going all out to help Ukraine in the same conflict? The big news from yesterday was that Biden spent two hours on a conference call with China. During the call, he warned China that things would go badly if it helped Russia.

Stuttering Psaki plays clean-up on Biden's call with Chinese leader over 'consequences' for helping Putin. President Joe Biden spoke with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping by phone on Friday and laid down the law, vowing that there will be "consequences" for the communist regime if it acts to assist Russia which is facing international condemnation after it invaded neighboring Ukraine. [...] During the daily White House press briefing, Biden's top flack Jen Psaki was evasive when asked about what a "red line" would be regarding China's lending a helping hand to Putin when a reporter tried to pin her down. [Tweet] The normally glib Psaki struggled to provide a definitive answer, instead vomiting up a nearly incomprehensible word salad.

Hunter Biden Isn't a Government Employee, But There's a Catch. During the daily briefing at the White House Thursday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about the New York Times finally reporting what we already knew to be true: Hunter Biden's laptop is real and the information contained within it raises a number of serious questions. In her response, Psaki said because Hunter Biden is not a government employee, she has no comment. She also deferred to the Department of Justice, which is conducting an investigation into Hunter Biden's foreign dealings and tax affairs. [Tweet] But while Hunter Biden isn't technically a government employee, the White House is using taxpayer resources to manage his "art career."

Psaki dodges questions on past dismissal of Hunter Biden laptop as 'Russian disinformation'. White House press secretary Jen Psaki declined to comment multiple times when asked about her past comments that reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop in 2020 were part of a "Russian disinformation" campaign. "I'd point you to the Department of Justice and also to Hunter Biden's representatives," Psaki told a reporter Wednesday when asked about the White House's previous dismissal of the laptop reporting which was originally published by the New York Post in October of 2020 and confirmed by the New York Times on Wednesday, well over a year later. "He doesn't work in government." Later in the press conference, Psaki was asked about the subject again and was specifically questioned about her past comments that the laptop was "Russian disinformation."

Lesley Stahl Told President Trump in Her October 2020 Interview Before the Election the Hunter Biden Laptop "Can't Be Verified" — She Lied. Lesley Stahl has quite a career of lies. Her most famous interview to date was when she lied repeatedly to the American public in her interview with President Trump in October 2020 before the presidential election. Stahl was carrying water for the Biden crime family. She must be very proud. The country is doing so well. You can thank the far left hacks in the fake news media for doing their best to lie to the American public about Joe Biden and his family's crimes. To this day the mainstream media still won't report on Joe's obvious dementia that is obvious to everyone else in the world. Back in October 2020 President Trump defended himself in his interview with Stahl saying there was proof of Joe Biden's criminal actions in Hunter Biden's laptop. Lesley Stahl shut him down.

Lawyer for mother of Hunter Biden's baby expects indictment. The lawyer for the mother of one of Hunter Biden's children predicted that the president's son will be indicted on charges related to his financial dealings. Clint Lancaster, the attorney for Lunden Roberts of Arkansas, told CNBC that his client recently testified before a federal grand jury and said he provided to investigators "a significant amount of Hunter's financial records" in compliance with a subpoena.

The New York Times Suddenly Discovers Hunter Biden Laptop and Corruption Investigations Are Real. If you are really industrious, you can dig 20 pages into the A section of today's New York Times and find a 1,700-word news story by three of its top reporters, relating that the Justice Department's investigation of President Biden's son, Hunter, is not merely a tax matter. Turns out that prosecutors are probing his penchant for cashing in on his father's political influence, through payments by overseas entities for which he did not register as a foreign agent. [...] Even better, if you wade 23 paragraphs into the story, you will learn that prosecutors are examining emails between Biden and his business associates that come from "a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. [Hunter] Biden in a Delaware repair shop." You don't say. You may recall that the laptop was reported on extensively by the New York Post because the emails showed that Hunter provided access to his father, then the vice president of the United States, for a corrupt Ukrainian energy firm that was paying Hunter goo-gobs of money to sit on its board — even though Hunter had no relevant experience.

WH Does Everything It Can to Deflect When Asked About Hunter's Laptop. We've known since 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop was real. But liberal media did all they could to downplay the reality of it, even when you had video of Hunter on the laptop engaged in all kinds of disreputable things, because it was October 2020, just before the election and they wanted Joe Biden to win. You even had Twitter doing all they could to bury the story and block the URL of the NY Post story being spread on the platform. They variously tried to claim they were doing it because it was "hacked" material (it wasn't) and/or that it was "Russian disinformation." As I wrote at the time, they even locked then-White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany out of her Twitter account for daring to share the story. It should be noted that one aspect of the story at the time was that it proved that Joe Biden had lied about knowing nothing about his son's business because one of the emails showed that Hunter had introduced a Ukrainian businessman, an adviser on the board of Burisma, to his father.

Yes, they lied about Hunter Biden's laptop. So what are they lying about now? When the New York Post published information about the tawdry access-peddling business dealings of President Joe Biden's son a month before the 2020 election, much of the major media refused to cover it. Some of them even called it (without any evidence) Russian disinformation. Big Tech's social media platforms took the unprecedented step of throttling access to the stories. Hunter Biden's laptop included details about his foreign business dealings. These were dealings in which Biden traded on his father's name — dealings that his father has said were perfectly fine. This story was highly relevant to the presidential election going on that year. It showed how Joe Biden's family used his power to gain riches, and how Biden thought there was nothing wrong with it.

DOJ investigating Hunter Biden for foreign lobbying violations: Report. The Justice Department is investigating Hunter Biden for foreign lobbying violations related to his overseas business dealings — likely in places such as China, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan — in addition to scrutinizing his taxes, according to a new report. Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss is known to be leading a federal investigation into President Joe Biden's adult son, who denies any wrongdoing, and the New York Times reported Wednesday that the investigation, which began as "a tax inquiry" during the Obama administration, then "widened" in 2018 to encompass "possible criminal violations of tax laws, as well as foreign lobbying and money laundering rules, according to the people familiar with the inquiry."

Biden is to blame for inflation and driving America off an economic cliff. Since the first day of his presidency, Joe Biden has waged all-out war on our domestic energy industry, crippling our nation's ability to provide the needed resources to sustain our own economy. It was a grievous mistake that has caused prices to soar and left consumers struggling financially. Americans are smart. They know that Biden is responsible. 70 percent disapprove of his handling of inflation and gas prices, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll. It is a damning indictment of Biden's policies, if not his incompetence. Instead of having the fortitude to admit that his misguided green agenda badly damaged the U.S. economy, Biden blames Putin. And our nation's oil companies. And OPEC. And bankers on Wall Street. And transportation companies. And COVID. And the kid who kicked the cat. Never once has Biden looked in the mirror for a moment of self-reflection. He is incapable of recognizing that he was wrong in his decision to reverse our nation's energy independence.

Networks Punt on Massive Hunter Biden Story as NYT Confirms Laptop Emails. In a story posted Wednesday night [3/167/2022], The New York Times finally came around to implicitly admitting to what many knew in 2020 but, like the intrepid New York Post, were censored for saying: The emails on Hunter Biden's laptop are indeed real. And, worse yet, the specific e-mails that The Times confirmed involved Burisma. Worse yet for Hunter, it was revealed he took out a loan to pay millions in back taxes while a "broad federal investigation" of his life has expanded, including testimony from the woman who's alleged he fathered a child with. Of course, this was of no interest to Thursday's broadcast network morning newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC. The exposure came on the heels of stories from earlier in the week that revealed the State Department would begin handing over any communications involving or referencing Hunter to The Times following a lawsuit over a Freedom of Information Act request.

NYT Confirms Hunter Biden Laptop, Catches Up to Literally Everyone Else. The New York Times is finally ready to talk about Hunter Biden's laptop. A little late to the party, but it's nice they decided to show up. According to the New York Post, who has been covering the story for almost 3 years, a report about the ongoing Biden federal probe published by the New York Times on Wednesday night "confirmed the existence of the first son's infamous laptop." "People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity, NYT reported. "Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation."

Emails from Hunter Biden's laptop contain records the Secret Service did not hand over to lawmakers. For years, Republican lawmakers have sought Hunter Biden's travel records as part of a larger review of Biden's use of Secret Service protection while his father was vice president. But the Secret Service claimed it was unable to identify any such communications for several years during which Biden received Secret Service protection, frustrating those efforts. However, emails from Hunter Biden's laptop confirm that the Secret Service did coordinate Biden's travel during the years for which the Secret Service told Republican senators they could not find such communications. On Jan. 18, 2022, Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) wrote to the director of the Secret Service, requesting that the agency produce records "involving Hunter Biden and his use of government-sponsored travel while he conducted private business." Their letter complained that records previously provided to Congress contained inappropriate redactions and asked for unredacted copies of those documents. The lawmakers also demanded an explanation for why the Secret Service "did not provide any communication records for the years of 2010, 2011, and 2013."

Jen Psaki Repeatedly Spread Disinformation About Hunter Biden's Laptop. White House press secretary Jen Psaki repeatedly spread disinformation about Hunter Biden's laptop — before and after the 2020 presidential election. Psaki's public statements on the laptop are receiving more scrutiny after the New York Times finally reported Wednesday [3/16/2022] that emails from the laptop as authentic, after leading the charge to dismiss them during the 2020 election.

WH: Hunter Biden "Doesn't Work In The Government". RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann asked at Thursday's briefing about a New York Times report that seems to confirm the existence of the "laptop from hell," a Macbook that President Biden's son Hunter allegedly never picked up from a Delaware repair shop. The alleged contents of this laptop were at the center of President Trump's first impeachment and U.S. relations with Ukraine in March 2020 and then dismissed as "Russian disinformation" and censored from social media during the final weeks of the 2020 presidential election. "I'd point you to the Department of Justice and also to Hunter Biden's representatives," press secretary Jen Psaki said. "He doesn't work in the government."

Biden Administration Handicapped Domestic Energy Production on First Day in Office, Memos Reveal. Contrary to President Biden's recent claims that his administration is pulling out all the stops to alleviate America's inflation woes, since its early days it has fostered a policy environment that is hostile to domestic energy production, fueling price hikes at the gas pump long before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to memos obtained by National Review. [...] He assured Americans last week, "It's simply not true that my administration or policies are holding back domestic energy production. That's simply not true." But these memos, obtained by National Review, appear to show that the Biden administration intentionally handicapped the domestic oil industry from day one as part of its mission to transition the U.S. to a green economy. Now that gas prices and inflation are reaching record heights, Biden has pinned a large chunk of responsibility on Russian president Vladimir Putin, whose attack on Ukraine has created tumult in energy markets, given that much of the West, particularly Europe, is dependent on Russia for oil.

Biden: Everybody Knows Someone Whose Friend Has Taken Naked Pictures of Them and Blackmailed Them. President Joe Biden struggled mightily when speaking at a Wednesday press conference. Biden was speaking at an event in which the Violence Against Women Act was being reauthorized. The act provides resources for the federal government to prosecute domestic violence. Biden claimed that every American knows somebody who has been the victim of revenge porn, to the extent that they were "blackmailed" on the internet. [...] Biden's claim that every American knows someone who's been the victim of intimate internet blackmail is highly questionable. While the crime is far from unheard of, it's a bit of a stretch to assume it's common enough to have affected every person in the country.

Biden can't stop reminding us that he is a deeply weird, creepy guy. [Scroll down] With that as background, you're now ready to appreciate Joe Biden announcing, "I bet everybody knows somebody, somewhere along the line, that in an intimate relationship, what happened was the guy takes a revealing picture of his naked friend, or whatever, in a comprising position and then literally, in a sense, blackmails [unintelligible]." [Video clip] I am not part of that everybody about whom he speaks and I don't know anybody to whom that has happened. However, given both Biden's and his son's personal habits, I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that blackmail has crept into their lives. I'd say that they deserve it but, depending on who's doing the blackmailing and for what, if Biden indeed is one of those somebodies affected by blackmail, that's very bad and dangerous for America.

Joe Biden Says Every American Knows Someone Blackmailed by Intimate, Naked and Sexually Explicit Pictures. This is really weird folks, and not just the part I am highlighting here. In a very creepy public presentation today by Joe Biden highlighting the extension of the 'violence against women act', Biden went through the stages of shouting then whispering as he delivered remarks about abuse and exploitation based on gender. In part of his remarks, and trust me, the entire remarks were seriously disturbing, Joe Biden said, "I'll bet everybody knows someone, somewhere along the line, that in an intimate relationship what happened was the guy takes a revealing picture of a naked friend, or whatever, in a compromising position, and then literally in a sense blackmails them or mortifies them." [Video clip]

Biden Makes Bizarre Comment About 'Naked' Blackmail That Has Everyone Talking. There's a war going on in Europe. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky presented his case to Congress for more aid on Wednesday [3/16/2022]. There's crushing inflation that's at a 40-year high, spurred on by reckless Democratic spending at home. You might think that those issues would be taking up all the time of the guy who occupies the White House. [...] But Joe Biden had another priority on Wednesday, and it just makes you wonder what the heck is going on in his mind with things like this. Biden said he'd established a "new civil rights cause of action." [Tweet] "I bet everybody knows somebody... that in an intimate relationship, what happened was the guy takes a revealing picture of his naked friend, or whatever, in a compromising position and then... blackmails...," Biden declared.

Jill Biden's Latest Rescue of Her Bumbling Husband Isn't Cute — It's Dangerous. Yesterday was another banner day for Joe Biden's cognitive inabilities. As RedState reported, he managed to bungle the announcement of Kamala Harris' husband having COVID-19 no less than three different ways. Here's what that looked like. [Video clip] Biden first says that the "First Lady's husband contracted COVID," apparently missing the fact that he's the First Lady's husband. Not even realizing his glaring misstep, Jill Biden has to interject from the sidelines in an attempt to rescue him. Yet, he then proclaims "She's fine," as if he had said the First Lady had contracted COVID. He then corrects himself to say "I'm fine," before announcing the "Second Lady" has COVID. It was just a bumbling mess of performance, and while the crowd kept laughing, there was nothing actually funny about it.

Secret Service says it doesn't have Hunter Biden emails from some years, his laptop says otherwise. Days ahead of his trip to Mexico in spring 2011, Hunter Biden got an email from a Secret Service agent coordinating his protection detail. "Hunter, when you have some free time, I would like to discuss the Monterrey trip with you," Secret Service agent Yvonne DiCristoforo wrote then-Vice President Joe Biden's son on April 28, 2011. "I have some specific information to provide you that we received from our Mexico City office," she added. "I know you are out of the office this evening, but if you could contact me at your convenience, I would appreciate it." Secret Service records show Hunter Biden, in fact, took the trip with agents protecting him between May 15 to May 17, 2011. The email, contained on a Hunter Biden laptop now in FBI custody and reviewed by Just the News, may not seem that significant at first blush. But it has significant meaning to Senate investigators.

Biden refers to Kamala Harris as 'first lady' in latest gaffe. President Biden committed another gaffe Tuesday [3/15/2022] — referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as "the first lady." Biden made the mix-up while noting Harris wasn't with him at an event because her husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the day. "There's been a little change in arrangement of who is on the stage because of the first lady's husband contracting COVID," Biden said, according to a video of the snafu posted to Twitter.

Biden Promises Executive Action on Climate Change as Energy Costs Spike. President Joe Biden reassured donors Monday that he would use his executive powers to act on climate change, even as energy prices are at record highs. "The climate crisis is the existential threat. That's not hyperbole; it's a fact," Biden said after taking the podium at a Democratic National Committee Fundraiser in Washington, DC. Biden promised to take "aggressive" executive actions on climate regulations even if the Supreme Court overruled him. He acknowledged that progress on the issue of climate change was difficult to achieve in Congress, hinting that donors could help him pressure lawmakers.

The Editor says...
There is no climate crisis. The weather is not an existential threat.

Hunter Biden ex-partner tries to avoid starting prison sentence, prosecutors object strenuously. Hunter Biden's ex-business partner was convicted nearly four years ago of securities fraud and still he has not spent a day in prison. And now Devon Archer's lawyers are trying to delay his punishment yet again with a new appeal that did not amuse federal prosecutors. Archer faces one year and one day in prison and was ordered last month to pay financial penalties of $15 million and over $43 million in restitution. His arguments to appeal and postpone serving prison time have no merit, the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan told the trial judge Monday. "Archer falls far short of meeting his burden of establishing the necessary 'substantial question of law or fact' to justify bail pending appeal or a stay of forfeiture," the prosecutors wrote in their motion.

The Top Ten Scapegoats Biden Has Blamed for His Failures. Since he started pretending to be president, Biden has blamed an endless series of scapegoats for his steadily spreading dumpster fire. It's virtually everyone's fault but his, and he has consistently made sure that Americans have a steady and sober regard for the suffering of their noble, selfless, heroic president, constantly let down by venal, self-serving opportunists and worse.

Maria Bartiromo's Sources Are Right: The Biden Administration Is Actively Partnering With Putin On Climate And Iran. Judging by the reaction from peers in media, you might think Maria Bartiromo said something incorrect on Sunday when she noted, "Some people have told me over the weekend that they feel that at the end of the day this administration does not see Putin as the enemy, they see him as a partner on many issues." It's hardly a stretch to imagine someone mentioning that to Bartiromo because it's true. Viewers who watched the full clip would have heard Bartiromo specifically cite climate change and the Iran nuclear deal as the issues in question when she made the statement on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures."

High Energy Prices Are the Fruits of A Biden Sellout. Every single bad move by Joe Biden, and every one of his moves has been bad, has largely benefited one entity, that being Communist China. The red dragon is a crafty one and is working the system big-time. It is in an unholy informal alliance with the World Economic Forum, the elites of which suppose they are running everything and look to China with envy for how to take over what they don't already control, but China, of course, is merely using them, too. The Great Reset sought by the former is one where the latter sees itself as the new single superpower and the WEF is merely a useful facade. High energy prices are integral to the entire strategy.

Democrats Urge Biden to Enact [Their] Agenda by Edict. For a sense of how alarmed House Democrats are about the upcoming midterms, consider what they want President Biden to do about their failed legislative initiatives. According to an Associated Press report, caucus leaders are "urging him to issue executive orders that could push their proposals forward without votes in the House and Senate." Due to intraparty ideological disputes, the Democrats have been unable to pass important bills and therefore have very few accomplishments to talk about when they face their constituents in November. Consequently, they want the President to bypass the Congress and impose their stalled agenda on the nation by fiat. Even the Speaker of the House, who should be interested in protecting the constitutional prerogatives of Congress, made it clear that Biden should exceed his executive authority if the Democrats can't get their agenda passed.

New Rules on Extremism — DHS Will Target Anyone Who Believes Election Was Stolen or Who Challenged Fauci's Everchanging COVID Narrative. In Joe Biden's first year in office over 2 million illegal aliens from dozens of countries walked into the United States across the southern border. The numbers this year look even greater. Joe Biden and DHS Secretary Mayorkas immediately opened up the US southern border after they came into office. Biden also set another record. Only 59,011 illegals were deported his first year in office. This was the lowest number since 1995.

It Isn't Just Slow Joe. The press has set the bar so low for Joe Biden that when he makes a public appearance, it is considered a triumph if he manages to stay upright. No one expects anything he says to be coherent, and blatant disregard of the facts is overlooked. But it isn't only Slow Joe: the Democrats' policies have run head-on into reality, and none of their leaders can comment publicly without telling whoppers.

Joe Biden Gives Incoherent Speech About World War III. This afternoon, Joe Biden spoke to the House Democrats about the state of the Russia-Ukraine conflict at the House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference meeting in Philadelphia. During his speech, Biden told the Dem lawmakers he is in constant contact with Ukraine President Zelensky and, in fact, spoke with him earlier in the day. He told the dirty Dems who are more concerned with preventing President Trump from ever running for office again than the conflict in Ukraine that he plans to downgrade trade status with Russia as punishment for their continued war on Ukraine. With the invasion in its 16th day, Biden admitted he had frustrated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with the slower speed of his actions supporting Ukraine. But Biden said what was far more important than moving to support Ukraine was "making sure all of NATO is together" in confronting Russia.

Obama White House Doctor Calls For Immediate Biden Resignation: 'Not Cognitively Capable Of Leading'. Former White House physician Ronny Jackson, who served in the role under the Obama and Trump administrations, said on Friday that Democrat President Joe Biden needed to immediately resign to spare putting the country through more suffering because Biden is not mentally fit to be president. "Biden doesn't know what's going on with Ukraine," Jackson tweeted. "He doesn't know what's going on with ANYTHING! He's not cognitively capable of leading. He needs to RESIGN before our country suffers any more." Jackson's remarks come after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion into Ukraine late last month that threatens to throw the entire continent of Europe into war.

Warning: The Biden Administration Wants to Expand the War in Europe. "Blinken Says U.S. Is Eyeing Ways for Poland to Supply Jets to Ukraine," reads March 6 headline in the Wall Street Journal. [...] Providing its jets and airfield space to Ukraine while that country is at war with Russia would be tantamount to an act of war. You do not have to be a military expert to realize this. [...] Poland has not been threatened or attacked by Russia. Poland has no reason or desire to commit an act that would almost certainly draw a military response from Russia. That would be senseless and self-defeating. The idea to give Polish jets to Ukraine clearly came from the American side. The Biden administration tried to get Poland to do this both by back-room pressure and bribery, i.e., by offering them newer type American jets in exchange. There can be little question that by urging Poland to supply jets to Ukraine, the United States was attempting to provoke Russia into launching some form of military response against Poland. Thus, what the Biden administration is attempting to do is to deliberately expand the Ukrainian theatre of war into other eastern European countries.

Repairman who alerted FBI to Hunter Biden's laptop facing bankruptcy, suspects 'politically motivated attack'. Hunter Biden's laptop repairman spoke out recently on damages he's suffered since the days leading up to the 2020 election, including harassment and financial ruin. John Paul Mac Isaac was forced to close his shop in Wilmington, DE, and flee to reside with his family in Lakewood, CO just days after the election, he told the New York Post. "I was getting a lot of death threats," Mac Isaac reported. "I had to have a Wilmington trooper parked in front of my shop all the time." Mac Isaac was under severe scrutiny for alerting the FBI that he was in possession of Biden's laptop since April 2019 and that there were a number of communications and files that connected Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's son to unscrupulous business arrangements.

Biden's America: The inmates are running the asylum. How does one sanely describe what has happened to the United States since Joe Biden was inaugurated? The nation has been effectively ruined by the policies of Biden's band of incompetents; every Cabinet member is a disaster, promoted for his previous record of failure. Not one of them is qualified for the jobs they've been given. [...] As evident to all by now, Biden is suffering from advancing dementia, so he is clearly not making any of the policy decisions that now bedevil America. [...] We can only guess who is making American policy since Biden was installed in the Oval Office. Biden is a done deal, an empty suit, a front for whoever behind the scenes is pulling his strings, writing the speeches on his teleprompter that he can barely read. Obama? Eric Holder? Susan Rice? Valerie Jarrett? Who knows?

Biden goes bonkers over inflation. Joe Biden should be hopping mad about inflation, which rolled in at 7.9% and is destroying the purchasing power, wage gains, and savings of the citizenry even as he touts good economic times in his speeches. Instead, he's going bonkers over the voter reaction to inflation, not the inflation itself. [Tweet] "I'm sick of this stuff!" he hollered. "We have to talk about it because the American people think the reason for inflation is the government spending more money. Simply. Not. True." But of course, it is perfectly true. He's wallowing in denial about it and now thinks he can yell his way into making Americans think differently. In his wretched King Lear-like rant, brimming with rage and self-pity, Biden whimpered that Americans were just poor simpleton peasants who don't understand inflation and don't give Joe and all his "achievements" the credit they deserve: [Tweet]

Biden Just Insulted Americans as Being Too Stupid to Understand His Greatness. Joe Biden has shown[,] time and time again[,] that he has no compunction against lying if it means shifting the blame away from himself. [...] We've seen him blame everyone and everything else, rather than take the blame and take the right steps to address it. His latest excuse is Vladimir Putin, despite the fact that inflation has been raging for several months, long before Putin invaded Ukraine at the end of February. He was speaking at the House Democrats Conference in Philadelphia, and he repeated the lie, saying inflation was "largely the fault of Putin." [Tweet] Does he think that Americans have been asleep through all the prior months of raging inflation? That he can just put one over on them?

The Madness of Slow Joe, Energy Edition. Anyone who has followed President Biden's overlong career in American politics may be forgiven for wondering if he believes in anything other than the corrupt Biden family. Speaking generally, he has been on every side of every issue since his election to the Senate in 1972. Worse than that, he is a farcical poseur, as in his theft of Neil Kinnock's life and words for his own sorry purposes in the blowout of his run for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination. If shamelessness were a virtue, Biden might be the most virtuous man in American political history, though the competition would be intense.

Worst president ever? The old saying goes that even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally. So you might think that during a 50-year political career, the odds would dictate that Joe Biden would, once in a blue moon, make a correct decision — just based on the odds. But you'd be mistaken. Biden has stumbled and bumbled from one disastrous decision to the next. Disastrous, that is, for America. Biden himself has prospered handsomely in spite of his glaring incompetence and corruption.

Biden blames PUTIN for 7.9% inflation — the highest in 40 years. President Joe Biden raised eyebrows after blaming soaring US inflation on Vladimir Putin, after the consumer price index hit another 40-year high of 7.9 percent in February. Although the inflation data released on Thursday does not capture the full impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which occurred just days before the end of February, Biden in a statement chose to blame 'Putin's price hike.' 'A large contributor to inflation this month was an increase in gas and energy prices as markets reacted to Putin's aggressive actions,' said Biden.

Joe Biden Doesn't Want Your Gas To Be $4 A Gallon. He Wants It To Cost Even More. Gas prices in the United States hit a new all-time high under President Joe Biden's watch on Tuesday [3/8/2022], clocking in at an average of $4.17 per gallon, surpassing the previous record of $4.11 set in 2008. [...] The third week of February, before the Russian invasion of Ukraine started, the average price of U.S. gas was $3.53 per gallon, compared with $2.38 the week Biden took office: a $1.15 difference. (That fact hasn't stopped Press Secretary Jen Psaki from lying through her teeth to blame the spike entirely on Russia.) But, bumbling though they are, the Biden administration did not just achieve rising gas prices through accidents and incompetence. Your pain at the pump isn't just unforeseen collateral damage of the White House's policies — it's a very intentional result of it. That's right: Biden wants staggering gas prices to force you from being able to drive where you want, when you want, as much as you want to. It's all a part of his green energy agenda, which panders to radicals on the far-left side of Biden's ever-further-left party.

Fact-checking President Biden's claim that his policies aren't holding back domestic energy production. As a candidate, he [Biden] promised he was going to go after fossil fuels. During the debates, he said he was going to "transition" from the oil industry — and "transition" is a word we're hearing a lot from the Biden administration recently when asked about rising gas prices; both Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm have mentioned the country being in a transition period to green energy. President Biden has said that it's not true that his policies are holding back domestic energy production, and since we can't count on the mainstream fact-checkers to debunk that, we have Drew Holden with one of his great threads: [Numerous tweets]

Even CNN Isn't Buying Biden's New Lie About Inflation. We had a warning that the coming inflationary number was going to be bad from White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. That's why you knew it was going to be bad — and she wasn't wrong. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) jumped 7.9 percent for February, year-over-year reaching yet another 40-year-high and a new record for Joe Biden. In a statement released by the White House, first, Biden bragged about his economy even as it's crushing Americans. Talk about out of touch. But then, just like with the skyrocketing gas prices, Biden has a new excuse for why there's such a huge increase in the year-over-year inflation — blame that on Vladimir Putin and the Russian invasion as well.

Kamala Proves the Peter Principle. The Peter Principle says that people rise to the level of their incompetence. During Obama's presidency, everyone joked that he selected Biden for VP because Biden's incompetency insured that Obama would never be impeached. Yes, Obama was bad, but Biden would be worse. Now that Biden's the president, that joke was 100% correct. Sadly, he's multiple times worse than anyone imagined. Biden has more failures in one year than most presidents have in a lifetime — the Afghanistan debacle and surrender, huge crime spikes due to Democrat "defund the police" insanity, actively working to destroy the petroleum industry while supporting Russia's, soaring inflation, open support and deference to China, and his weakness being directly responsible for Putin's invasion of Ukraine — to name just a few epic failures. As bad as Biden is as president, it's obvious he selected Harris for the same reason that Obama selected him — to insure he's never removed from office.

Poland's Move on MiGs Pretty Much Shows That Europe Doesn't Really Trust Biden with Anything. Joe Biden declared that America was back when he got elected. There was no underlying reason for the declaration other than 'I'm a Democrat, and I'm different.' The world ate it up. The liberals ate it up. Everyone thought the norms, which many have erroneously thought were not followed, would return. The adults were back in charge. That all fell apart in less than a year. Afghanistan showed what many of us already knew about Joe Biden and this administration. They're appalling at foreign policy. There's a forty-year track record of Joe Biden being utterly incorrect in this area. The Afghan dash last August finally showed Europe that this guy really isn't some ace on international affairs. His diminished mental capacity also doesn't help.

Biden has managed to drive both Israel and Saudi Arabia toward Russia. Joe Biden canceled the Keystone Pipeline on his first day in office. Since then, he's put a moratorium on numerous American oil and gas projects. [...] Be aware that the rocketing price of oil and gas is not due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These price increases began the very month that Biden was inaugurated, and have continued nearly every month since. But the Russian invasion certainly compounded and accelerated the problem. The loss and threatened loss of Russian oil has sent gasoline prices toward $6/gallon in America and $9/gallon in Europe. The Democrats cheered the high prices, until political polls showed that American don't like paying high prices for gas and the calendar showed that this is the year many of them have to get re-elected to their lucrative, favor-receiving, status-filled, Chardonnay-sipping gigs, or else get a real job. So now they pretend to want lower gas prices.

Biden is waging a war on truckers and everyone will pay the price. President Joe Biden rightly announced a ban on Russian energy imports Tuesday — though only after a bipartisan group in Congress twisted his arm. Biden had resisted the move, despite the purchases funding Vladimir Putin's deadly Ukraine invasion, worried it would further boost gas prices (and further tank his polling). But he's doing plenty to jack up prices through his policies here at home. On Monday, his own Environmental Protection Agency announced it wants to slap new rules on tractor-trailers, buses, delivery vans and moving trucks. The regs, aimed at cutting nitrogen oxide and carbon pollution, will make life harder not only for working-class truck and bus drivers, our essential backbone already exhausted by COVID fatigue — they'll hit all American shoppers hard. As Climate Depot's Marc Morano put it, "US climate sanctions on Americans have more impact than US sanctions against Russia."

These Congressman Did Not Deserve What Joe Biden Said About Them During His Texas Visit. [Scroll down] [I]t's what Biden said about Reps. Colin Allred (D-TX), Marc Veasey (D-TX), and Jake Ellzey (R-TX) is rather... problematic. Biden said that two of the congressmen, Veasey and Allred, look like they can play basketball; both men are black. He added that Congressman Ellzey looks like a dude who would bomb you. Now, Ellzey was a Navy fighter pilot who fought in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. If this was a joke, it missed its target by several hundredmiles.

Hunter Biden still listed as part owner of Chinese firm despite divestment claim. Chinese and American business records continue to list Hunter Biden as a 10% owner of the Chinese government-linked investment firm BHR Partners as of Tuesday, nearly four months after his lawyer said he had completely divested from the venture. In November, Chris Clark, a lawyer for Biden, told the New York Times that his client "no longer holds any interest, directly or indirectly, in either BHR or Skaneateles," the LLC wholly owned by Biden that held his 10% ownership stake in the Chinese investment firm.

As Financial Markets Crash and Ukraine Burns, There's Nowhere Left to Hide for the Biden Administration. Time, they say, is nature's way of making sure that everything doesn't happen at once. If that's so, then maybe time has stopped because all of a sudden everything seems to be happening at once. Three things, actually: 1) a Russian military operation in Ukraine that a lot of people in America want to turn into World War Three; 2) an epic crack-up of the world financial system; and 3) the breakdown of the fishy Covid-19 affair and especially the story behind its holy avatar: the mRNA vaccine. In a sane society, that might be enough to trip the institutional reality-test apparatus, but we are not a sane society these days, so we plunge ever-deeper into a hurly-burly of wrongful endeavor vectoring toward self-destruction. The immediate problem is a nation (us) that is powerfully bamboozled, led by a figurehead nobody believes in, backed by a hidden coterie of actors who appear to hate our country enough to try to sink it.

The Biden admin foreign policy has two inviolable rules. [Thread reader] Rule #1: get back into something that can be heralded as the Iran deal, no matter what. This is less a policy idea than a matter of Democratic honor — refusing to admit the failure of Obama's major foreign policy goal, repudiating Trump, etc. Rule #2: cripple domestic energy production. This is the foremost demand of the eco-activist base of the Dem Party. No matter how much gas prices increase, the admin will not budge. And so the admin is left begging bad regimes for oil. It's morally appalling, it's nonsensical as a policy to reduce carbon emissions, but it pleases eco-activists. So it is done.

Statement On Russian-Ukrainian Crisis by Archbishop Vigano. [Scroll down] Another issue that we tend not to analyze in depth is that related to Burisma, an oil and gas company operating on the Ukrainian market since 2002. Recall that "during the American presidency of Barack Obama (from 2009 to 2017) his right hand man with a "delegation" to handle international politics was Joe Biden, and it is since then that the "protection" offered by the Democrat US leader was given to Ukrainian nationalists, a line that created the irreconcilable disagreement between Kiev and Moscow. [...] It was Joe Biden in those years who carried out the policy of bringing Ukraine closer to NATO. He wanted to take away political and economic power from Russia. [...] In recent years, Joe Biden's name has also been associated with a scandal over Ukraine that had also shaken his candidacy. [...] It was April 2014 when Burisma Holdings, the largest energy company in Ukraine (active in both gas and oil), hired Hunter Biden as a consultant [...] with a salary of $50,000 a month.

Biden will ban imports of Russian oil, natural gas after relentless pressure. Republican lawmakers are demanding on Tuesday [3/8/2022] that President Joe Biden restore American energy independence after he announced a ban on Russian oil and gas imports over its attack on Ukraine. Biden announced on Tuesday the United States would target 'the main artery of Russia's economy' with a ban on energy imports from Moscow, while acknowledging the financial squeeze it would put on Americans already paying record-high prices at the pump. 'Americans have rallied support — have rallied to support the Ukrainian people and made it clear we will not be part of subsidizing Putin's war,' Biden said at the White House. During his speech Biden also hit back at Republican accusations that his administration cut back US oil and gas production — pointing out that he actually pumped more oil than his predecessor Donald Trump did during his first year in office.

Joe Biden Has a Problem With Facts - We Produce LESS Oil Not More Than Under Trump. The Biden Bunch has decided that the reason for rising gas prices should be blamed on their failure to help prevent Russia from invading Ukraine and should be blamed on Russia itself. Oddly enough not on his lack of a coherent energy policy — this is not based on reality but on unicorn dreams. Well, now, President Puddin Brain has decided that we shall no longer import that Russian crude a full 12 days after the invasion and right before the leaders in his party would have voted to do the same and embarrassed him.

Impeach Biden. ithin MAGA circles, talk is turning increasingly to impeaching Joe Biden after the midterm elections — assuming, of course, the Republicans retake the House of Representatives (which appears likely). Unfortunately, actual removal would require 60 votes in the Senate. Even under the most favorable scenario, it's unlikely the GOP will pick up more than four Senate seats. Nonetheless, with the strong likelihood the Republicans will take control of the House, impeaching Biden looks viable. Why? Well, for the same reason a Democrat-controlled House impeached Donald Trump — twice. The Democrats used the impeachment process to persuade millions of middle-of-the-road and independent voters that Trump had done something terribly wrong. Of course, the Democrats' two impeachment efforts were frivolous and did not comport with the constitutional requirements for impeachment, but no matter. They used it to sow doubt in the minds of low-information voters and there's little doubt the narrative broke off some previous Trump voters.

The Horror Of Biden's Weakness. Tyranny roams free. People with a thirst for power and control are going to any lengths to possess them. Useful idiots enable them to keep going and they hope to gaslight (or kill) anyone who questions it. If you believe I'm speaking of Vladimir Putin, you wouldn't be wrong. But the same applies to Joe Biden. The ^*President took to the State of The Union speech and more or less declared the opposite on nearly every position and issue of the day than what his administration and party has held since he became ^*president. Feigning a pretend toughness (which is whole cloth different than strength) Biden spoke so fast he rammed his words together, raised his voice and leveled shouted talking points about his admiration for the Ukrainian people. Laughing at Biden a world away Putin began using indiscriminate vacuum and cluster bombs. And while Biden had his morning jello and coffee the next day, more children and civilians died in Ukraine than were lost in the entire fighting in 2014. Biden said and did nothing.

Biden claims he enjoyed 'teaching' and misses 'being a professor at Penn' — Except he never taught there. President Joe Biden reaffirmed that he has lost touch with reality, taking shots at Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) before bulking up his resume with a job he's never held. Boston College history professor Heather Cox Richardson recently released an interview with Biden that was conducted on February 25. "I wanted to hear from a historic figure in a historic time about how he thinks about America in this pivotal moment," Richardson said of the conversation, "to put the specifics of what he does in a larger context."

Biden looks to Venezuela for a bailout. Joe Biden is in a bind. Like everything else, he's blown it. Energy prices have gone through the roof, with gasoline prices at the pump pushing $6.00 a gallon in San Diego alone. They're expected to get higher, and each tic upward takes Joe down another notch in the polls. Biden has throttled U.S. capacity to produce its own energy by ending domestic drilling leases on federal lands. He's also scuppered the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada. In place of that domestic and Canadian energy, we now buy Russian oil, some 600,000 barrels a day — which just happens to finance Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine.

Addict, Degenerate and Bagman of a Corrupt Family Enterprise Exposed. It is hard to find words to describe the debauched and sleazy satyr that is Hunter Biden and how he used his family name and his father's status as an important American politician to become an extraordinary international grifter involved in multi-million dollar — sometimes billion — dollar deals with international entities that included corrupt criminal enterprises such as Burisma Holdings of the Ukraine and the government- and military-controlled companies of Russia and China, international enemies of the United States. His business activities and lifestyle were revealed on the laptop he left in a Wilmington, Delaware Mac computer repair shop owned by a Mr. Isaac, who took possession after Hunter failed to pick it up after 90 days. Mr. Isaac had already fixed the water damage and looked at the contents, found discussions about Burisma (the Ukrainian oil and gas company) so he arranged through his father, a retired Air Force Colonel, to turn the laptop over to the FBI in Arizona. Mr. Isaac kept a hard drive copy to protect himself. Then he made some inquiries after the FBI failed to do anything.

Here's Your Russian Collusion: Biden [is] Working with Russia on [a] New Iran Nuke Deal. Just when you think the Biden administration couldn't possibly get worse, it finds a way. Gabriel Noronha, a former State Department official, tweeted Wednesday [3/2/2022] that State, NSC, and European Union officials are warning that "what's happening in Vienna," where Biden's handlers are negotiating a new nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran, "is a total disaster," and that they're hoping that "Congress will act to stop the capitulation." It's about as likely that Congress will stop this, of course, as it is that Biden's handlers will send Donald J. Trump himself to Vienna to handle the negotiations, but there are abundant signs that the new agreement will be far worse than the old one, and directly endanger America and its allies. For one thing, even amidst ever-rising tensions with Russia and punitive sanctions, the administration has turned over leadership of the negotiations to a Russian diplomat, Mikhail Ulyanov.

As War Rages, Biden Has Weekend Plans. As Russian President Vladimir Putin continues his unrelenting assault on Ukrainian citizens, committing war crimes through the use of cluster bombs and attacking nuclear sites in the country, President Joe Biden is headed home to Delaware for the weekend. "In the evening, the President will travel to Wilmington, Delaware, where he will remain over the weekend," the White House daily schedule states. Biden also went to Delaware last weekend for a family funeral. He has spent 35 weekends at home since taking office in January 2021.

Confused Old Man Yells at Nation for an Hour. A confused political hack from Delaware staged a one-man insurrection by invading the sacred precincts of the Capitol building, hijacking all the TV networks, and yelling that the planet would be destroyed unless we gave him all our money so he could burn it and turn it into green energy. [...] Like the star of a slasher movie sequel, Biden Jr., returned to ramble through a worse sequel, but kept it down to a mere hour and two minutes of torture. The two minutes are significant because when you have to endure the Vogon poetry of word salads, non-sequiturs, mumbles, grumbles, malapropisms, and random interjections, 120 extra seconds is an eternity. [...] Biden, whose minions had met the threat of a Freedom Convoy of half a dozen trucks on their way to D.C. by summoning 800 National Guardsmen, began by asserting that, "freedom will always triumph over tyranny." The best evidence of that was the complete collapse of mask mandates and the entire COVID public health security state that Biden had touted last year.

On Ukraine, Biden has painted himself into a corner. [Scroll down] Hunter [Biden], who had little or no experience in management and none in the oil industry, went to Ukraine and a Ukrainian oil company instantly hired him with a salary of eighty thousand dollars a month. While Hunter was there, then-Vice President of the United States Joe Biden happened to notice that the Ukrainian government was investigating the oil company his son worked for. Joe felt the investigation was unfair and brought pressure on the Ukrainians to stop the investigation and fire the investigators. Next, Hunter happened to make friends with some Russians and meet the Moscow mayor's wife. Hunter, who is an outgoing young man, impressed her. She felt sorry for him having to struggle through life on eighty thousand dollars a month, so she reached in her purse and handed him three million dollars. She didn't have any spools of thread in her purse, so there were no strings attached.

What Could Putin Possibly Have on Biden That Would Make Joe Keep Buying Russian Oil? Putin has started what some people are referring to as WWIII. Biden's response has been to join other nations in hitting Putin with some financial sanctions, which have thus far not changed Putin's game plan. Biden is also sending, depending on your source, roughly $74 million to Russia EVERY DAY for oil. Why hit Putin with sanctions if you're handing him mad stacks for oil? Something is up. Biden could open the Keystone XL pipeline. He could "drill, baby, drill" in the States and tap into what might be billions of barrels of oil, but White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki refers to that idea as a "misdiagnosis." So instead, Biden is helping to pay for Putin's war.

Ron Johnson: 'President Biden Is Dramatically, Seriously Compromised'. During an appearance on FBN's "Mornings with Maria," Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) warned the turmoil in the world, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, was underway, there are still unresolved issues about President Joe Biden's business dealings with Russia and China. Johnson described Biden as "dramatically, seriously compromised." "That's my concern," he said. "We don't know all of his foreign financial entanglements. We've certainly shown the indication of the advanced web of them. But I'll tell you who does know: Russian intelligence, Chinese intelligence. Is that why he lifted the sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which again was one of the factors emboldening and tempting Putin to invade Ukraine? What does China know? Is that why he canceled the China initiative, to make sure they don't steal our intellectual property from our university systems?"

"Didn't Have Time": Psaki's Horrific Reason Why Joe Didn't Honor Fallen Heroes. You might have noticed something missing from Joe Biden's state of the union address on the 2nd of March, particularly during the Afghanistan portion of it. [...] Did you notice what was missing? The whole part about our absolutely horrifying rout from Afghanistan, one that was utterly humiliating, emboldened our enemies (just look to Ukraine), and, worst of all, got 13 American heroes killed. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert called out that commission, yelling "You put them in. Thirteen of them." after Biden said "flag-draped coffin," but, were it not for her, the issue wouldn't have been brought up at all in Biden's speech; he meant to never mention the thirteen heroes that he got killed, to refuse to honor their sacrifice. Well, Psaki went on the mainstream media to explain why. [...]

Biden's Bizarre SOTU Proves He's Unfit for Office. Much has been written about President Biden's surreal State of the Union address, but the commentariat has studiously ignored the real problem with the speech. The trouble with this unnerving oration isn't that much of it was fiction or that it revealed a vision of the nation that isn't shared by most Americans. Its scariest feature is that it was filled with semi-coherent gibberish delivered by a man who is cognitively impaired and obviously unfit to carry out the duties of his office. If Biden were your father, you would relieve him of his car keys, yet he possesses the authority to launch a thermonuclear strike and hit virtually any target on the planet.

White House Deploys Jill Biden to Reboot Joe Biden's Image. First Lady Jill Biden joined President Joe Biden on Wednesday for a trip out of Washington, DC, taking the stage for an unusually defensive speech about her husband. The First Lady began her speech recalling Inauguration Day when she watched Joe Biden take the oath of office just a year ago. [...] The first lady's speech appeared to be an attempt by the White House to reboot the president's image, as recent polling shows 54 percent of Americans do not think Biden has the mental sharpness to serve as president. She painted a picture of Biden as a heroic historical figure who saved America from the "four years of chaos" of former President Donald Trump.

It's Time To Kill This Big Fat Biden Lie Once And For All. If Google, Facebook, Twitter, and the rest of the Big Tech bullies insist on stopping "misinformation," why aren't they censoring President Joe Biden for his repeated flagrant lie about the economy? You know, the one where he claims we were in a state of crisis when he came into office, from which he and his $2 trillion "American Rescue Plan" saved us. Biden says it over and over again. Here's a sampling over the past year:
• "We've turned the tide on a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. And families are beginning to be able to breathe just a little bit easier."
• "Look, when we came to office, we knew we were facing a once-in-a-century pandemic and a once-in-a-generation economic crisis."
• "When I was sworn in as president, the nation was struggling to pull out of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression."
In his State of the Union, Biden claimed that his "American Rescue Plan" was one of the "few pieces of legislation" to have "done more at a critical moment in our history to lift us out of a crisis." This is a lie.

Biden Buddy Very Lightly Slapped on Wrist, Gets One-Year and a Day Prison Sentence. Hunter Biden's old Yale buddy and corrupt business partner Devon Archer was sentenced to just one year in prison for defrauding a Native American Tribe out of $60 million in bonds. Archer got off light — the prosecution wanted him to serve at least 30 months jail time. "Archer, 47, appeared for his sentencing hearing at the Thurgood Marshall US Courthouse in Lower Manhattan, where Judge Ronnie Abrams also ordered him to forfeit $15,700,513 and pay $43,427,436 in restitution," the Daily Mail reports.

Joe Biden sure is eager to help Ukraine. I wonder why.
Joe Biden Seeks $10 Billion More from Congress for Ukraine After Spending $1.4 Billion. President Joe Biden wants Congress to send him $10 billion to help Ukraine fight Russia, according to a letter from his administration seen Thursday. "[W]e are requesting $10 billion to deliver additional humanitarian, security, and economic assistance in Ukraine and the neighboring region in the coming days and weeks," Biden's acting budget director Shalanda Young wrote in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Biden asks Congress for $10B in emergency aid for Ukraine. President Biden is upping his request for humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine, calling on Congress to approve $10 billion to help bolster the nation in its fight against Russia. Shalanda Young, acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, made the request in a letter to the congressional Democratic leadership on Tuesday. The figure is significantly larger than the $6.4 billion that administration officials initially urged lawmakers to approve just last week. "These resources will mean additional defense equipment for Ukraine, lifesaving humanitarian assistance — such as emergency food assistance — for the Ukrainian people, stronger sanctions enforcement, a dedicated task force led by the Department of Justice to go after the ill-gotten gains and other illicit activities of the Russian oligarchs, and additional support for U.S troop deployments to neighboring countries," said Mrs. Young.

The Editor says...
Ukraine is very important to Joe Biden. It's a country that launders a lot of his money, allegedly.

Biden Won't ban Russian Oil. The White House does not support a ban on Russian oil imports, according to press secretary Jen Psaki, despite even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joining in on the calls for the U.S. to cease buying Moscow's fuel. 'We don't have a strategic interest in reducing the global supply of energy, and that would raise prices at the gas pump for the American people,' Psaki told reporters Thursday [3/3/2022]. Asked what would need to happen 'on the ground' in Ukraine for the U.S. to stop buying Russian oil, the press secretary demurred. 'I don't know if we look at it exactly through that prism. Obviously we have not held back in taking significant, historic steps that are crippling the Russian economy right now,' she said.

CNN Poll Finds Audience Reaction to Biden's SOTU Was the Worst on Record. A CNN poll that the network proclaimed as showing a "mostly positive reaction" to President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech Tuesday showed that the speech actually hit a low point for those who had a "very positive reaction" to Biden's remarks. The poll noted that 71 percent of those surveyed had a positive reaction to the speech, according to CNN. [...] When Biden addressed Congress in April, he had a 78 percent positive reaction that included 51 percent giving him a very positive reaction. But on Tuesday night, only 41 percent gave Biden a very positive reaction, which even CNN acknowledged "matches the previous low in CNN's speech reaction polls dating back to 1998." The poll had a margin of error of 5.5 percentage points. The last time a president achieved this low a rating was in 2007 after a State of the Union speech from then-President George W. Bush.

Sorry, Mr. President, But Inflation Isn't Due To 'Greed'. We listened carefully to President Joe Biden's Tuesday night [3/1/2022] State of the Union speech for what he plans to do about our growing inflation disaster. We were not impressed. [...] To begin with, he blamed corporate "greed" for inflation, which is scapegoating of the worst sort. To fix this, he proposed price controls and government subsidies on "computer chips, prescription drugs, health care premiums, weatherization projects, renewable energy, electric vehicles and child care" to get companies to boost output. Corporations don't suddenly get "greedy." And greed isn't the cause of inflation, as Nobel-winning economist Milton Friedman noted in perhaps his most famous pronouncement: "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon." Many others have said the same thing. Despite being in Washington when the last great inflation occurred, Biden is about to make the same mistakes made by multiple presidents that let the inflation problem go from being a brushfire to an all-out conflagration.

Democrats Live In A Different World. I don't know how you can watch Joe Biden stumble and bumble his way through the State of the Union Address and think he is well. Either he referred to the Ukrainian people as "Iranians" or "Urainians," with neither option being good because what's left of his brain didn't notice whatever it was that came out of his mouth. A normal, healthy person will make mistakes, verbal gaffes, but our brains notice and we correct ourselves almost immediately. That does not happen with Joe Biden. He is so married to the teleprompter and going off script that he pays no attention to the words. The media, naturally, ignored most of the gaffes because covering for their President is second nature to them. But it wasn't just what he screwed up saying that was the problem, the parts of the speech he read accurately were just as disturbing.

Biden's Bombshell Back Story. By suggesting that a "minor incursion" into Ukraine would be acceptable, Drew Allen notes, it looks like Joe Biden is colluding with Vladimir Putin. Biden also has a record of collusion on the matter of nuclear weapons, a story that goes back to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Biden suggests Putin tried to divide the West after witnessing January 6. President Joe Biden suggested the Capitol riot inspired Putin to invade Ukraine and divide the West and then falsely claimed rioters killed five cops on January 6. 'Vladimir Putin was counting on being able to split up the United States,' Biden said in a speech in Superior, Wisconsin. 'Look, how would you feel if you saw crowds storm and break down the doors of the British Parliament and kill five cops, injure 145? Or the German Bundestag or the Italian Parliament?' he asked. One Capitol cop died of a stroke a day after January 6 and four killed themselves in the aftermath of the riot.

Top 10 ways Biden deluded himself during his State of the Union. It's hilarious that Joe Biden is embarking on a "Unity Agenda" tour. After he spent the past year stigmatizing the unvaccinated, demonizing Trump voters as domestic terrorists and siccing the FBI on parents at school board meetings, now he wants unity? Even his own party isn't unified. No fewer than three party factions, including The Squad, have offered up contradictory rebuttals of his State of the Union address. Not that his own speech wasn't chock full of contradictions and delusions.

Being "open" to it, and actually doing it, are two different things. Biden is dragging his feet.
Joe Biden open to banning Russian oil imports as Ukraine war rages on. President Biden said Wednesday [3/2/2022] that he's open to banning Russian oil imports as he accused Moscow's invading troops of intentionally targeting residential areas in Ukraine. Biden, facing calls to sanction Russia's lucrative energy exports, indicated his willingness to go further after claiming Tuesday night in his first State of the Union address that "we prepared extensively and carefully" to respond to Russia's attack. Critics slammed Biden last week for implementing initially limited sanctions as tanks rolled across Ukraine's borders and as Russian jets bombed targets across the former Soviet republic.

Fact check of Biden's State of the Union. President Joe Biden delivered his first State of the Union address on Tuesday evening where he called for unity, lauded his domestic wins and announced new action against Russia after Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. Here is a fact check of some of the claims Biden made in his hour-long remarks. [...]

Psaki Says the Quiet Part Out Loud. Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted on live TV that Putin makes his moves when we have weaklings in the Executive Office. "You know I was at the State Department," Psaki told CNN. "The president was the vice president the last time Russia invaded Ukraine. This is a pattern of horror from President Putin and from the cronies around him." [...] A lot of us remember. A lot of us remember you as the State Department's press secretary. A lot of us remember Obama putting Biden in charge of America's role in helping Ukraine weed out corruption. A lot of us remember Biden's angelic son Hunter sitting on the Burisma board during that time. We remember this delightful photo of you with Putin's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Pink is not a flattering color on you, Psaki. Same for me as well. Lavrov is one of those cronies.

Who is Joe Biden? In the wake of his 2022 State of the Union address, Joe Biden is beyond the butt of jokes; beyond the anger coming from Americans crippled by his catastrophic energy, immigration, and economic policies; beyond the bi-partisan outrage at his foreign policy disasters; beyond his declared war on parents. Most of all Joe Biden is beyond sympathy for a senile, frail old man, too often lost in a cloud of neuron decay, with his bone density and brain mass shriveling daily. Joe Biden is president. Imagine that. And nothing we can do about it. That's the State of the Union.

Biden's SOTU reassured nobody. Not surprisingly, President Biden's SOTU speech was a pack of lies from start to finish. [...] He talked a bit about supporting "made in America." Those phony words out of his mouth seemed stolen from Trump; Biden never cared about "made in America." He only cared about enriching his family by any means necessary. Ukraine was his, and Hillary's, financial playground. Long corrupt itself, Ukraine has been used and abused by our deep state operatives for decades. Ukrainian oligarchs have always been happy to throw millions of dollars at our equally corrupt politicians to protect their own robber baron schemes. Ukraine was the largest contributor to the Clinton Foundation while she was the sitting Secretary of State. The wholly unscrupulous Hunter Biden still gets something like $50k a month from Burisma.

AP Fact Check: Biden's State of Union is off on guns, EVs. President Joe Biden related a faulty Democratic talking point about guns in his first State of the Union speech, made his plan on electric vehicles sound more advanced than it is and inflated the sweep of his infrastructure package. On several fronts, he presented ambitions as achievements.

'A Pound of Ukrainian People'? 10 Brain Freezes in Joe Biden's State of the Union Delivery. President Joe Biden stumbled through his State of the Union address on Tuesday [3/1/2022], flubbing several lines from his prepared text and ad-libbing lines that did not make sense.

A Malfunctioning Joe Biden Delivers an Incoherent Speech on a Dead Agenda. Biden's speech was badly written, devoid of memorable moments, and came across as a rehash of everything he's been saying for the last two years. The applause lines felt painfully manufactured, and the president often stumbled over his words — and that's when he wasn't coughing. The first part of the speech focused on Ukraine in an obvious attempt to soften the audience with a topic most agree on. But instead of delivering that moment of unity successfully, Biden started rambling about the Iranians and pounds of Ukrainians for some reason.

SOTU: After Flood of Migrants, Biden Calls on Congress to 'Secure the Border'. President Joe Biden used his State of the Union address on Tuesday night to call on Congress to "secure the border," after his administration allowed roughly 1.5 million migrants to pour across the southern border in his first months in office. [...] As Breitbart News reported in December, the Biden administration imported about 1.5 million migrants in its first eight months.

Fact Check: Biden Touts 'Buy American' Rules While Allowing Feds to Offshore U.S. Manufacturing. CLAIM: During his State of the Union (SOTU) address on Tuesday evening, President Joe Biden claimed his administration is "actually" ensuring that "taxpayers' dollars support American jobs and businesses." VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. Biden's infrastructure bill signed into law last year provides giant federal carve-outs for industries to outsource and offshore American jobs.

The Editor says...
"Offshore" is not a verb.

State of the Union: Joe Biden Makes 12 Putin References, Mentions China only 3 Times. President Joe Biden spent a significant amount of time during Tuesday's State of the Union address discussing the ongoing Russian military assault on Ukraine, mentioning Russian strongman Vladimir Putin 12 times and urging struggling Americans to "draw inspiration from the iron will of the Ukrainian people." Notably absent, in contrast, from his remarks was the growing geopolitical threat posed to the United States by China. Biden mentioned China three times, all in the context of economic competition. Unlike the reported human rights abuses by Russia in Ukraine, the ongoing genocide of the Uyghur people of East Turkistan was entirely absent from the State of the Union, as were abuses against Tibetans, Christians, Falun Gong practitioners, and the extensive abuses against pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong.

7 Major Failures of the Biden Presidency. With President Joe Biden set to deliver his first State of the Union address on Tuesday night, it's a good time to ask: How has Biden done as president and what is the actual state of our union? According to the American people, things aren't going great. A CNN poll in early February asked Americans what they thought of Biden's presidency and what he's done right since entering office Jan. 20, 2021. The top answer by a wide margin, according to that poll — hardly likely to be skewed against Biden and Democrats — was nothing at all. Over half of those surveyed couldn't come up with a single success during Biden's first year in office.

It's Time For Biden To Have a Cognitive Assessment. Dear Joe Biden: You are undoubtedly feeling the walls closing in now that Putin is invading Ukraine and bringing the world to the brink of all-out war. Europe faces its worst crisis in 80 years. You're wondering if this is too much for your brain to handle. I know you care about America and want to do the right thing. I love America, too. So, I want to help you. As a forensic psychiatrist and expert witness, with over 20 years of experience in hundreds of civil and criminal cases, I have done countless cognitive assessments to determine a person's competency — and I am offering my services to you. I know that Dr. Ronny Jackson has already written to you asking that you take such a test. I am writing to you now to explain why you need to take such a test — and even to offer to administer it to you myself.

Biden's Dismal State of the Union Address Prospects. Most State of the Union speeches are forgettable events, where presidents simply lay out their laundry list of desired policies within a highly unedifying cliche-to-substance ratio. But once in a while a State of the Union speech actually matters, and such is the case with President Biden's address tomorrow night. First, most SotU speeches run an hour or more. Can Biden actually make it that long? But much more important is the substance of the speech. Most SotU addresses start taking shape in the fall, around Thanksgiving. I have previously speculated that the late date of Biden's first SotU (they are usually in late January or early February, when the president submits his proposed budget to Congress) was set in hopes COVID would have receded sufficiently for Biden to declare an end to the crisis, and I think chances are this will happen. I wouldn't have said this two weeks ago, but Biden desperately needs some good news to pass along amidst the Ukraine crisis and our inflation-wracked economy.

Hunter Biden Associate Devon Archer Sentenced to One Year, One Day in Jail. A longtime associate of President Joe Biden's son was sentenced on Feb. 28 to one year and one day in jail for defrauding a Native American tribe. Devon Archer was convicted for participating in a scheme to bilk the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation of the Oglala Sioux Tribe of tens of millions of dollars. The tribe didn't answer a phone call on Monday. Archer was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams, an Obama nominee who split the ground between prosecutorial and defense sentencing recommendations. Prosecutors asked for 30 months in prison, arguing for the same sentence as the one handed down to Bevan Cooney, a co-defendant. Prosecutors noted that there were 10 or more victims of the scheme, which caused a loss in excess of $25 million, and said guidelines would lead to a sentence of between 108 and 135 months, but decided not [to] push for a longer sentence because of a "need to avoid unwanted sentencing disparities."

Friend of Hunter Biden sent to jail for fraud. A longtime friend and former business partner of Hunter Biden was sentenced to just over a year in prison Monday for a fraudulent bond scheme aimed at swindling a Native American tribe as a separate federal investigation into President Joe Biden's son's taxes and business dealings continues. Devon Archer, who worked with Hunter Biden for the Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm prior to both men joining the board of Ukrainian energy giant Burisma in 2014, was sentenced at the Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse on Monday. Archer was ordered to forfeit more than $15.7 million and join his co-defendants in paying $43.4 million in restitution to the victims.

Hunter Biden's pal sentenced to prison for [his] role in [a] fraud scheme. A former business partner of Hunter Biden was sentenced Monday to more than a year in prison for his role in a scheme to defraud a Native American tribe of some $60 million in bonds. The defendant, Devon Archer, was sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison by Manhattan Judge Ronnie Abrams, who said the crime was "too serious" to let him just walk. "There's no dispute about the harm caused to real people," Abrams said, noting that the defrauded tribe, the Oglala Sioux, is one of the poorest in the nation. Archer will also have to pay more than $15 million in forfeiture by himself and more than $43 million in restitution with his co-defendants in the case.

Nets Ignore Hunter Biden's Business Partner's Fraud Conviction. On Monday, a former business partner of Hunter Biden named Devon Archer has been sentenced to over a year in prison for his involvement in a scheme to defraud a Native American tribe of over $60 billion in bonds. Not surprisingly, all three evening newscasts completely ignored this news of the President's son's business partner going to federal prison. While ignoring this report, ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News & NBC Nightly News did all have time to hyperventilate over global warming, while CBS also had additional time to report on a mail truck that crashed off a bridge and fell into a river. According to a report in the New York Post, Archer was sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison by Manhattan Judge Ronnie Abrams. "There's no dispute about the harm caused to real people," Judge Abrams said. In addition to jail time, Archer will have to pay back over $15 million in forfeiture as well as over $43 million in economic restitution.

Biden's war on fossil fuels has strengthened Putin and weakened America. [Joe Biden] inherited a nation that was an energy superpower. During his four years in office, President Donald Trump opened 100 million acres of public land and water, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, to exploration. He withdrew from the Paris climate accord, approved the Keystone XL pipeline between the United States and Canada, and rolled back Obama-era regulations such as the Clean Power Plan that held back domestic exploration and production. Trump's policy was "drill, baby drill." The result? On his watch, the United States supplanted Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world's largest oil producer. This newfound energy independence transformed the national security landscape, strengthening the United States vis-a-vis Russia and other revanchist powers. But on taking office, Biden squandered the position of strength he inherited from Trump. He prioritized climate change over energy independence and launched a policy of energy disarmament. Biden rejoined the Paris agreement and canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, which by itself would have transported 830,000 barrels of oil per day from Alberta to refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas — far more than the 538,000 barrels we import every day from Russia). He suspended oil and gas leases in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and sought to deliver on his campaign promise to ban all "new oil and gas permitting on public lands and waters." And he made clear his intention to tax and regulate the fossil fuel industry out of business, promising that his administration would "end fossil fuel." These policies have backfired — undermining the United States in its confrontation with Russia today.

I'm Having a Problem Using "President" In Front Of "Biden". It's not a matter of Republican disrespect for a Democrat. I referred to both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton by their presidential titles. It's a matter of legitimacy. Over half of all Americans now believe that fraud affected the outcome of the last Presidential election. The Arizona election audit didn't prove that the Donald won, as many hoped. But it did prove that we don't really know who won that state. Given the election shenanigans around the country in November 2020, there is certainly justification to question the outcome. As Democrats are now learning, an inauguration does not bestow legitimacy. Hence, I refuse to use the word combination "President" and "Biden" unless the election is fully investigated and litigated.

Cringe: Jill Biden Introduces Kamala Harris as 'President' Right in Front of Joe Biden. Jill Biden has added another notch to her belt when it comes to claims that her time as First Lady has mostly consisted of "elder abuse." On Monday [2/28/2022], Jill Biden introduced the "president" Kamala Harris right in front of Joe, as he stared off in a daze. [Video clip]

Joe Biden Mispronounces His Own Supreme Court Nominee's Name. Remember when WaPo's Jennifer Rubin claimed Republicans would mispronounce Ketanji Brown Jackson's name? It turns out Joe Biden and his Press Secretary Jen Psaki are the ones who are struggling with Ketanji Jackson's name. Joe Biden on Monday delivered remarks during a Black History Month celebration at the White House. He struggled to pronounce his own Supreme Court nominee's name.

Joe Biden Claims Inflation Is an Imaginary American Psychosis That Does Not Exist in Reality. It's an easy disposable line to say Joe Biden is clueless about things. He stumbles with cognitive thought, has trouble putting thoughts into understandable sentence structures using words, makes frequent gaffes and generally struggles to communicate issues that are simple and not complex. When the issues are complex, the cognitive impairment gets worse. These are easy truths to hit him with. However, there's a more concerning aspect once you listen to how genuinely he has been led to believe in things that are fundamentally false. That's where the danger comes from. In this prompted segment on COVID and the economy, Joe Biden references a perspective, a belief in current events, that has been seeded into his brain by Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. I know it's hard to listen to him, but in this segment pay close attention. Joe Biden believes, really believes, that a COVID induced mental psychosis is responsible for people convincing themselves that prices have gone up, that inflation is extreme, and that economic pain is real. He has been told that inflation does not exist, so he believes inflation is imaginary. [Video clip]

Biden says he hopes his legacy 'is that I restored the soul of this country'. President Biden said in an interview broadcast on Saturday [2/26/2022] that he hopes his legacy "is that I restored the soul of this country." In a wide-ranging interview with progressive political host Brian Tyler Cohen, Biden said that he hoped he would be remembered for restoring "some decency and honor to the office" of the presidency, rebuilding America's middle class and repairing partnerships with other countries.

Joe Biden And Offensive Moments In Self-Regard. Joe Biden capped off another rotten week of his sinking presidency saying he hopes his legacy "is that I restored the soul of this country." His dementia might be relatively new, but he's been a raging narcissist throughout his public life. Who does he think he is, Barack Obama? Or maybe even the Almighty? In an interview Saturday [2/26/2022], Biden also said that he wanted to be remembered for returning "some decency and honor to the office" and bringing "the middle class back to a place where they had real opportunity." We might take on those delusions another time, but for now, we want to focus on his irksome comment about restoring the soul of America. First of all, it's not the president's job to heal the nation's spirit. [...] Second, who says the country's soul needed to be restored anyway?

Biden Shows How Out-of-Touch He Is, Even in a Puff Piece Interview. People used to talk about the narcissism of Barack Obama. But in a way, Joe Biden's narcissism is far worse, because it's unhinged from reality. Biden just did a softball interview with progressive podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen. According to Biden, he hopes that his legacy will be "that I restored the soul of this country." [...] First, that isn't his job to "restore the soul of this country." His job is to put America first and defend the nation. He's failed miserably at that. It's also insulting that he thinks that Americans were somehow so lacking without him. Imagine that he has such an over-inflated opinion about himself and his meager abilities.

GOP reps slam Joe Biden for spending another weekend in Delaware as war wages in Ukraine. Two Republican Congressmen slammed President Joe Biden's return to Delaware this weekend as war waged in Ukraine, though White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki clarified that he was doing business in Wilmington while at a family funeral. Representative Darrell Issa of California, 68, and Mark Green of Tennessee, 57, made the remarks on the sidelines of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). The two were specifically asked about the US response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. 'He's gone back to Delaware — there is no weakness in the White House, he abandoned the capital!' Issa said. 'One hundred per cent,' added Green. Issa then mocked the US government's offer of an evacuation for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Biden in Delaware as Putin raises nuclear alert status. President Biden remains at his private home in Delaware as the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to escalate. Russian President Vladimir Putin raised the alert status for his nuclear forces to "special regime of combat duty" as Russia and Ukraine battle for the fourth day. Putin ordered the Russian defense minister and the chief of the military's General Staff to put the nuclear deterrent forces in a "special regime of combat duty." The move signals tensions could boil over into a nuclear war. At the same time, Biden remains at his private residence in Delaware and media communications with the commander-in-chief have slowed to a crawl.

CPAC Straw Poll: 59 Percent Support Donald Trump for President, Up 4 Points from 2021. Sunday's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) straw poll revealed Donald Trump has grown his dominance in the Republican Party. Fifty-nine percent of the CPAC participants voted for Trump, while just 28 percent checked DeSantis. Two percent voted for Mike Pompeo. [...] When respondents were asked what the great threat is to America, 61 percent said Joe Biden, 35 percent said China, and three percent said Russia.
[Emphasis added.]

Is Biden Colluding with Putin? During a January 19 press conference, Joe Biden gave Putin what many perceived to be the "green light" to invade Ukraine. Biden said, "I think what you're going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a minor incursion. ..." Ukrainian President Zelensky immediately fired back, reminding Biden on Twitter that there was no such thing as "minor incursions." [...] Biden suggested that a "minor incursion" would be permissible. Biden didn't condemn a Russian invasion absolutely; instead, he seemed to condone some unknown and highly subjective set of circumstances that he viewed as qualifying as a "minor incursion." In the days and weeks that followed Biden's infamous "minor incursion" remark, Ukrainian President Zelensky urged for calm, while Biden insisted on creating panic.

The State of Joe Biden's Union Is Domestic and Worldwide Chaos. This coming Tuesday [3/1/2022], His Fraudulency Joe Biden will make his State of the Union address, and do so after he has spent the last year plunging both America and the world into chaos. How both he and the Misinformation Media will try to gaslight us into believing differently is now painfully obvious. We're going to hear a lot about jobs created (when they were not) and how many people have been vaccinated (but not the fact that more died under Biden than under Trump). We'll be told it's only a coincidence that the CDC suddenly realized The Science would allow us to unmask just days before this speech. We'll be told the adults are back in charge. We'll be told Biden is a True Statesman — and so on and so forth, and spin and lie and lie and spin.

Biden Finds A New Level Of Worthless. Putin's power comes from money, most of Putin's money comes from oil and gas. It stands to reason that if you're trying to punish him, hitting him in the wallet is the most effective way to do it. So why would our idiot President specifically exempt what is the best, most effective, and really only significant way to hurt Putin in way that might impact his behavior? Honestly, there is no good answer. Aside from the "idiot" part, that is. [...] He's a wildly unpopular President, due in large part to his inflationary policies and spending. He's attempting to look like a powerful, important leader of the free world, but knows polling has him less popular than a sharp stick in the eye. If gas prices go higher, he such little faith in the American people that he fears his numbers would go even lower. While an uptick in gas prices wouldn't be popular, Americans are able and willing to take a temporary hit for a good cause. Biden has no faith in us. He has such little faith, as a matter of fact, that he's letting a tyrant continue to sell that which helps keep him in power to avoid the risk of his poll numbers dropping even more.

Where did Joe Biden get $350 million?
Biden Administration Sending $350M in Military Assistance to Ukraine. The Biden administration announced Saturday [2/26/2022] it is providing an additional $350 million in military assistance to Ukraine as it battles a Russian military offensive. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement, "Today, as Ukraine fights with courage and pride against Russia's brutal and unprovoked assault, I have authorized, pursuant to a delegation by the President, an unprecedented third Presidential Drawdown of up to $350 million for immediate support to Ukraine's defense."

Biden orders up to $350M to be released for military aid for Ukraine. President Biden late Friday ordered the release of up to $350 million for military aid for Ukraine. Biden ordered for the money to be allocated from the Foreign Assistance Act "in defense articles and services of the Department of Defense, and military education and training, and to make the determinations required under such section to direct such a drawdown." Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement on Saturday that it represented the country's third drawdown of money to Ukraine in the last year, totaling more than $1 billion.

Joe Biden is obviously incapacitated: What is to be done? A few days back, Texas GOP rep. Ronny Jackson, who was the White House physician during the Obama and Trump administrations, dared to state the obvious, which is an act of bravery in current times. Jackson called for Biden to take a cognitive test because Biden is "not fit to be our president right now" amid the Russia-Ukraine crisis. [...] Jackson said Biden's mental fitness for office, or a lack thereof, "was on full display during the debacle in Afghanistan" and that it could "get more Americans killed" and "ultimately get us in a war because of his lack of leadership." This isn't a mean-spirited personal attack. Jackson is merely stating facts.

Do Presidents Matter? Why, yes, they do. War has broken out in Europe, but Joe Biden is too weary — or something — to deal with it: [Tweet] As pretty much everyone has pointed out, Vladimir Putin annexed Crimea when Barack Obama was president (and Joe Biden was Vice President), did nothing while Donald Trump was president, and then invaded Ukraine while Joe Biden is ostensibly at the wheel. Coincidence? Funny how the Biden administration is a cascading series of unhappy coincidences.

Biden admin says it will keep working with Putin in 'important areas,' likely climate change. President Joe Biden's State Department said on Friday that the administration will continue to work with Russia when it comes to areas that are of "overriding importance." While the department did not say exactly what those areas include, the spokesman's comments come days after U.S. Special Climate Envoy John Kerry said he hopes "President Putin will help us to stay on track with respect to what we need to do for the climate." During a Friday [2/25/2022] press conference, State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters that while the U.S.'s relationship with Moscow is "very different" following Russia's attack on Ukraine, the Biden administration will continue to "engage" with Putin in certain areas.

Putin Sizes Up Biden, Invades Ukraine. Russian troops are advancing briskly into Ukraine. Vladimir Putin has brushed off Old Joe Biden's sanctions and made it abundantly clear that he is not afraid of Biden, as Democrat operatives and their propaganda arm, the establishment media, have long insisted. This is what happens when America has a feeble president, an obvious figurehead, and our military is compromised by Leftist ideologues. Clearly Putin is taking advantage of Biden's obvious weakness and the decimation of our Armed Forces by wokeness and Covid hysteria. He knows that there is little likelihood that Biden will touch off World War III by committing American troops to the defense of Ukraine. Putin also likely considers that even if the American military does end up confronting Russian forces, that the U.S. military's concentration on pushing Critical Race Theory and other Leftist agendas on the troops, as well as the culling that took place due to vaccine mandates, have left our military in such a weakened, distracted, and confused state that it will not pose any significant threat anyway.

'Big Mistake' for Biden Administration to Shut Down China Initiative: Trump. The recent move by the Biden administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) to terminate the China Initiative is a "big mistake," former President Donald Trump said at a Feb. 26 press conference prior to his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Trump also issued remarks on the current situation in Ukraine during the press conference. The DOJ announced on Feb. 23 that it was ending the China Initiative program, which was spearheading an unprecedented crackdown against economic espionage, trade theft, and technology transfer by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against the United States. The program was launched in 2018 by the Trump administration.

Joe Biden sure does a lot of favors for China. I wonder why.
Biden admin shared intel with China in order to prevent Ukraine invasion — China then shared that intel with Russia. A new report reveals that the Biden administration attempted to stave off the Russian invasion of Ukraine as far back as last November. They did so by trying to share intelligence with Beijing. But the partnership between China and Russia was strong enough that the Chinese government informed the Kremlin as to what the US knew.

Biden heads to Delaware for weekend as Russians advance on Kyiv. President Biden on Friday afternoon scrapped plans to stay at the White House and prepared to depart for his home in Delaware for the weekend. He changed his plans as chaos reigned in Ukraine with Russian troops battling to take control of the country's capital, Kyiv. The White House released a daily schedule confirming that Mr. Biden will travel to Wilmington in the evening. He had no public events scheduled for Saturday or Sunday.

Report: Joe Biden Got Absolutely Played by China on Russia and Ukraine. As intense fighting in Ukraine continues as a result of Russia's invasion, a new report offers some shocking details about how inept Joe Biden's strategy was in trying to prevent the current carnage. Per The New York Times, the Biden administration actually gave classified intelligence to the Chinese communists in an effort to gain their support against Vladimir Putin. Predictably, that completely backfired and only helped Russia in its march toward war.

Oops!
Secret Service says it can't find Hunter Biden travel records for 2010, 2011, or 2013. The Secret Service is telling Republican investigators that it cannot find communications related to Hunter Biden's travels for 2010, 2011, or 2013 — when President Joe Biden was the vice president. Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin sent the Secret Service a letter last month seeking unredacted records tied to Hunter Biden's travels between January 2009 and January 2017. They asked for full travel records and criticized the agency for years of "inappropriate redactions" — especially related to a controversial Kazakhstan trip in 2014. The senators also lamented that three years of documents seemed to be missing entirely.

Joe Biden's Justice Department Shuts Down China-Focused Counterintelligence Programs Because Hurt Feelings Matter. If you think Joe Biden is capable of exerting any image other than one of abject weakness, you can safely put that possibility out of your mind. He isn't. Not only has he shown a level of cravenness in dealing with Putin in Ukraine over the last year, he has demonstrated an equal lack of guts in dealing with our most important security challenge: China. China is a bad actor that we have coddled for way, way too long. US companies operating in China were coerced into relinquishing intellectual property and subjected to predatory financial practices. China's intelligence operations against the United States are not limited to US citizens and companies in China.

Report: Biden to Divert Agents from U.S. Southern Border, Send Them to 'Assist' with Russia-Ukraine Conflict. President Joe Biden's administration is looking to divert United States Border Patrol agents from their mission at the U.S.-Mexico border to send them overseas "to assist" those fleeing from Ukraine amidst Russia's invasion, a new report states. Even as illegal immigration continues pouring through the nation's southern border at record levels, Biden hopes to entice Border Patrol agents to sign up voluntarily to aid American citizens, green card-holders, and their immediate relatives fleeing Ukraine into Eastern Europe.

Border Agents [are being] Asked to Leave [the] Southern Border [and] Go to Poland for 'Operation Ukraine Support'. The Southern border of the United States is in unimaginable crisis. Border agents set a new record for arrests of people trying to enter the country illegally from Mexico: 1.9 million in 2021. And 402,000 of those were released within the United States, with asylum hearings scheduled, for which some will never show up. Biden has vilified and lied about border officials; they're clearly just obstacles in the way of his project to bring as many migrants into the country as possible, make sure they vote for the party that keeps their benefits flowing, and thereby secure the Democratic Party's hegemony for decades to come. Now Biden's handlers have come up with a new idea for how border agents can keep occupied: they want to send them to Eastern Europe for "Operation Ukraine Support."

The Editor says...
Joe Biden could send the Army to Ukraine, and the Army would be much better prepared for wartime conditions, but sending the Border Patrol almost guarantees failure, both at the southern U.S. border and the Russian front. This will keep something in the newspapers to divert attention from Hunter Biden, gas prices, and January 6 prisoners being held indefinitely without trial. Joe Biden's strings are being pulled by Barack H. Obama, who hates America and hates the military.

The White House Appears to Wave the White Flag on Russian Sanctions. Thursday afternoon [2/24/2022], nearly a day after Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, President Joe Biden finally addressed the public. Whatever the reason for the delay, it certainly did nothing to dispel the notion that the administration had been caught flat-footed. Yes, they had been "predicting" an invasion for the better part of a month, but that's a far cry away from having an actual strategy in place to deal with such one. Regardless, Biden took the podium and delivered remarks in which he touted a new sanctions package that he claimed would be devastating for Vladimir Putin. But, with the emergence of more details on exactly what is and isn't being targeted, it looks much more like the White House is waving the white flag. Instead of hitting the Russians in the one area that could cripple them, their oil and gas industry is being left completely untouched.

ABC Goes All-in Being 'State Media,' Providing Cover for Joe Biden. On Tuesday, Joe Biden was an hour-and-a-half late to the remarks he was supposed to make about Russia further invading Ukraine. He slurred and stumbled his way through his speech. He seemed to have enormous difficulty just reading the teleprompter coherently, and it was only a 10-minute address. You would think that — given what Biden was calling an invasion that could affect so much — that he might think the American people deserved some greater explanation of what the Administration was going to do in response — beyond reciting his 10-minute, canned speech. But no such luck. At the end of the 10 minutes, Biden turned on his heel and beat it out of there. [Tweet] How much is the media in Biden's pocket? The response from ABC News' David Muir on Biden's action gives us some clue. [Tweet]

White House Hints at Another Release from Strategic Oil Reserves. The White House hinted Tuesday that President Joe Biden is considering another release of oil from the Strategic Oil Reserves, as gas prices continue to rise. White House Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh said Biden would coordinate with major energy consumers to address higher energy prices, after the president announced a "first tranche" of sanctions against Russia after Vladimir Putin moved into Ukraine. "We all have reserves at our disposal, and those reserves could help support the supply of energy worldwide," Singh said during the White House press briefing.

Joe Biden Sanctions Russia's Nord Stream 2 Pipeline Nine Months After Lifting Donald Trump's Sanctions. President Joe Biden announced Wednesday he would level sanctions on Russia's proposed Nord Stream 2 Pipeline, after lifting sanctions on the project put in place by former President Donald Trump. "Today, I have directed my administration to impose sanctions on Nord Stream 2 AG and its corporate officers," Biden said in a statement detailing his decision. In May 2021, Biden lifted sanctions for the pipeline, arguing it would be difficult, if not impossible, for him to block the project. [...] The pipeline project, once supported by the Germans, was considered a politically disastrous move for national security regions, allowing Russia to bypass Ukraine to provide natural gas to Europe.

Biden Touts Chinese-Backed Company at Made in America Event. The White House on Tuesday featured a mining company partially owned by a Chinese mining conglomerate at an event dedicated to strengthening the domestic supply chain. President Joe Biden announced at the event that the Pentagon would award $35 million to the Las Vegas-based MP Materials in an effort to boost U.S. rare mineral production. But MP Materials has arguably allowed China to tighten its grip on the world's rare earth minerals supply chain. Shenghe Resources Holding, which is partially owned by the Chinese government, owns 8 percent of the company. Shenge spearheaded the deal in 2017 to help MP Materials purchase a mine at Mountain Pass, Calif., out of bankruptcy. The Chinese company is also MP Materials's largest customer, accounting for nearly all of its $100 million annual revenue.

Why the Delaware U.S. Attorney is Still Calling People Before a Grand Jury on Hunter Biden. From Hunter Biden's laptop to influence peddling to financial dealings, the media has presented a fairly unified front dismissing allegations and blacking out coverage. [...] Yet, it is becoming increasingly hard to spin out of this scandal as David Weiss, the U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware, continues to call people before a federal grand jury to testify on Hunter Biden. For over two years, Weiss has been investigating tax and financial issues connected to Hunter Biden's foreign dealings. Biden has engaged in some of the most open and raw influence peddling schemes in history. That itself is "wrong," to use his father's standard, but not necessarily criminal. The Biden family has long been accused of such influence peddling generating millions in windfall payments. [...] The problem is not that Hunter Biden allegedly shook down foreign countries and companies for millions. The problem is that he may not have reported or paid taxes on all of that largess.

Doddering Biden volunteers America for higher energy prices to defend Ukraine's borders. After failing to plan for the obvious contingenies, a doddering Joe Biden turned up late to his own press conference and announced that he's volunteering America for higher energy prices as a result of his feeble bid to defend Ukraine's borders. [...] So now that Russia has invaded, Biden's volunteering us for higher energy prices in the name of defending that unstable, unsustainable mess, which just happens to be a profit center for his son Hunter and some of his no-show jobs, acquired as he said, he would not have gotten "if my name wasn't Biden." Joe, according to those messages from Hunter's abandoned computer, is "the big guy" who skims his "ten percent."

Psaki tells Rob Lowe's podcast that Biden's White House stage was turned into a set so events could look 'visually better' during COVID. White House press secretary Jen Psaki appeared on actor Rob Lowe's podcast and said President Joe Biden's White House stage was turned into a set so events could look 'a little bit better visually' while he was cooped up during the COVID-19 pandemic. [...] The actor was curious about the to-do surrounding the South Court Auditorium, which has been given a glow-up since Biden took office with animated backdrops, video screens and pillars. At one point Reuters had to run a fact-check about the venue because people were claiming on social media that a 'fake set' had been created for Biden to receive his COVID-19 booster shot.

The Editor says...
Someone should ask Ms. Psaki about the price tag for the Fake White House Set.

The net closes on Hunter Biden: First son's ex-girlfriend, 28 testifies for five hours to grand jury in tax probe. Hunter Biden's ex-girlfriend told a grand jury she was instructed by the president's son to withdraw thousands of dollars from ATMs and the two partied at lavish hotels from coast to coast while Hunter was in the throes of drug addiction. Zoe Kestan, 28, who goes by the social media handle weed_slut_420, testified for five hours at a federal courthouse in Joe Biden's home state of Delaware last Tuesday morning in the investigation focused on the president's son for alleged tax crimes. Kestan — a garment, lingerie and textile designer — faced a range of questions over what Hunter Biden was doing during his time with her and what his spending habits were like in 2018, when he admitted to learning to cook crack at the infamous Chateau Marmont in Beverly Hills.

Ex-girlfriend tells Hunter Biden grand jury about lavish spending. The grand jury considering evidence in the Hunter Biden tax probe heard nearly five hours of secret testimony from an ex-girlfriend who's furious she got dumped after urging him to get off drugs, The [New York] Post has learned. Zoe Kestan, 28, appeared before the panel in Wilmington, Del., on Tuesday, a source familiar with her testimony said. Her turn on the witness stand came immediately after an appearance by the former stripper with whom Biden, 52, has an out-of-wedlock child, the source said.

Joe Biden Stumbles and Slurs His Way Through an Embarrassing Response to Putin's Ukraine Invasion. On Monday, Vladimir Putin gave a speech in which he recognized the "sovereignty" of two separatist regions in Ukraine, and shortly after, Russian forces began to cross the border under the guise of being peacekeepers. In one cunning move, Putin had managed to get exactly what he wanted without firing a shot, invading Ukraine while being able to deny he was invading Ukraine. The big question then became what exactly the United States was going to do about the major incursion. Previously, threats of the "greatest" sanctions had been made, most recently by Kamala Harris. As to Joe Biden, he was nowhere to be found publicly, for a full day after Putin's move, only emerging Tuesday afternoon to finally address the matter.

Putin Gives a Bonkers Speech on Ukraine, Drops the Last Puzzle Piece in Place for War. Following a meeting with his security council this morning, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a lengthy speech in which he dropped the last piece of the puzzle for war in place. In what can only be described as surreal at times, Putin lamented the fall of the Soviet Union, proclaimed it "madness" that former subject nations were allowed to leave Russia, and claimed his nation has been "blackmailed" by Ukraine. Here are a few clips of his ramblings courtesy of Curtis Houck from Newsbusters. [Tweet with video clip]

WH Belatedly Declares Russian 'Invasion' [is] Underway, but Reaction Is a Day Late and a Dollar Short. I wrote on Monday night how the "chickens of weakness had come home to roost for Joe Biden," when it came to Russia and Ukraine. Joe Biden has done everything but physically bend over and say, "Thank you, sir, may I have another?" in his relationship with Vladimir Putin. Even after Putin issued a declaration recognizing Donetsk and Luhansk, two regions of Ukraine, as independent nations — a prelude to invasion — Biden's response was weak in the extreme. He said that they would prohibit Americans from trading in those two regions. A senior administration official even said that units moving into the area might not be enough to trigger the threatened, severe sanctions. [Tweet]

Liberals Overdose on Cope After Biden's Pathetic Weakness Is Laid Bare. As RedState has reported, Russia has officially thumbed its nose at Joe Biden and invaded Ukraine. That happened after Vladimir Putin formerly recognized regions of Eastern Ukraine as autonomous, setting up the pretext to move in troops across the border as a peacekeeping force. The administration has responded by quibbling about the definition of "invasion," and signing a toothless executive order to sanction financial dealings in the Donbas and other regions now officially occupied by Russia. Whether tougher measures are coming is still an open question. Regardless, what we do know is that Biden, for his proclamations of Putin being afraid of him, has been thoroughly embarrassed, having a Russian invasion of Europe take place on his watch. How has the left decided to cope with that? By talking about Donald Trump, of course.

Joe Biden's Past Rhetoric on Putin Is an Absolute Joke Today. Putin has been threatening war for some time, and Joe Biden has seemingly let him, undeterred. Oh, there have been some verbal warnings, but this is Joe Biden we're talking about here. Nothing he's said or done to dissuade Putin has been effective. Of course, Joe Biden may simply be letting Putin do whatever he wants. After all, he canceled the Keystone XL pipeline before waiving sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 — Russia's natural gas pipeline. Russia seems to be able to do whatever it wants with Joe Biden in the White House. Yet, Joe Biden once claimed that he would stand up to Putin. "Vladimir Putin doesn't want me to be President," Biden tweeted in February 2020. "He doesn't want me to be our nominee. If you're wondering why — it's because I'm the only person in this field who's ever gone toe-to-toe with him."

Joe Biden Allows Vladimir Putin to Send More Russian Troops into Ukraine Without Triggering Sanctions. Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to send more troops into Ukraine would not trigger the sanctions prepared by the United States and European allies, the White House said Monday [2/21/2022]. A White House official explained President Joe Biden's position during a conference call with reporters Monday. Biden officials reacted anonymously to Putin's decision to send Russian troops into Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk regions for "peacekeeping" after the two territories declared independence from Ukraine.

How fossil fuels have fared under Biden. Domestic oil and gas production has recovered from the pandemic recession to near all-time highs under President Joe Biden despite his campaign pledges to crack down on fossil fuels. Biden has taken several high-profile actions against fossil fuels, including blocking the Keystone XL pipeline and placing a moratorium on new leases for drilling for oil and gas on public lands. The moratorium, though, has gotten tied up in courts. And Biden's legislative efforts to boost clean energy have stalled, while his plans for implementing agency regulations to limit fossil fuel use have been slow to be realized. The result so far is that Biden has gotten the worst of both worlds: high oil and gasoline prices that have weakened his standing with voters, and expanded production that has provoked liberal environmentalists.

White House Spox Can't Confirm If Biden Worked This Week. During a gaggle aboard Air Force One on Thursday, White House Principal Deputy Press Security Karine Jean-Pierre offered an awkward answer to a question about President Biden's search for a Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice Breyer. A reporter asked whether Biden had interviewed any potential SCOTUS nominees, to which Jean-Pierre wouldn't give an answer. "So, has he just not been working for four days, or what's going on?" the reporter interjected. "I just don't have anything to share or to confirm or not confirm on this," Jean-Pierre answered. Huh? She can't confirm whether President Biden worked this week?

White House [Plans] to Blame [the] Economic Collapse, Gas Prices and Inflation on Manufactured Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Within the book of instructions for the ideological Chicago crew (Alinsky peeps), there are chapters on how to create off-ramps to cloud their agenda. [...] In the latest example, the White House is shifting blame for the collapsing economy, surging oil prices, massive gas price increases and overall U.S. inflation. The manufactured crisis in Ukraine then takes on a geopolitical angle and a domestic angle. The prior rate of inflation is now being blamed on Russia-Ukraine. It is not coincidental that ABC (think George Stephanopolous) takes the lead in helping to push this narrative as a cover story for the problems in the economy that are specifically driven by U.S. energy policy (chasing Green New Deal objectives), environmental policy, regulatory policy and massive spending. The politics are to blame for the inflation, so it is the deployment of politics used to create the cover.

Biden Declares 'National Emergency' Ahead of Freedom Convoy Heading Towards Washington D.C.. Joe Biden is extending the declaration of a Covid "national emergency" ahead of an expected People's Convoy heading towards Washington D.C. The move echoes beleaguered Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's invocation of the Emergencies Act to carry out a police crackdown on Freedom Convoy protesters under the color of martial law. [...] The declaration of national emergency comes amid Justin Trudeau's brutal authoritarian crackdown on the peaceful Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa, the capitol of Canada. Police in riot gear with no nametag or unit identification violently suppressed the protest, and arrested over a 100 of the protesters. Canadian Prime Minister has given the greenlight for the Ottawa Police to compile an "enemies list" to target anyone who was standing up for their basic human rights in the Freedom Convoy protests.

Joe Biden Makes a Big Announcement on Ukraine That Only Raises More Questions About His Competency. Joe Biden arrived 55 minutes late today to give a short presser on the ongoing crisis between Russia and Ukraine. Following his comments, the president then took only three, pre-selected questions, before leaving for what I'd assume is another long weekend of naps and pudding. Is that the kind of effort you'd expect from a man supposedly trying to defuse a major incursion into Europe? Probably not, but it's what we've come to expect from Biden, perhaps the least hard-working president in American history.

The Editor says...
Joe Biden is doing the best he can. That's the bad news.

Biden Administration Defies Court Ruling Again, Opts Against Holding Oil Drilling Sales. The Biden administration missed another deadline to hold quarterly onshore oil drilling lease sales after a federal court ruled it was legally required to do so. The Department of the Interior (DOI) defied the June 2021 court ruling which ordered the administration to halt its ban on new oil and gas leases, the Western Energy Alliance — a fossil fuel industry group that challenged the ban — said Wednesday. In August 2021, the DOI vowed to publish notices of competitive sales in December and hold a lease sale 45 days later, two promises it failed to keep, in court filings. "President Biden just told the American people he'll work like the devil to lower prices at the gas pump. But the lack of progress on federal lease sales means he's not trying very hard," Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Western Energy Alliance, said in a statement. "The department continues to miss deadlines, drag its feet, and ignore a judge's ruling to hold sales."

Biden Rejects Trump's Executive Privilege, Orders Release of White House Logs to January 6 Committee. Joe Biden rejected Trump's claims of executive privilege and ordered the former president's White House logs to be released to the January 6 Committee. The visitor logs will show who was allowed to enter the White House on January 6. In a letter to the National Archives, White House counsel Dana Remus argued that Joe Biden "voluntarily discloses such visitor logs on a monthly basis." Joe Biden however spends every weekend in Delaware where there is no record of visitors and Psaki refuses to disclose who Biden secretly meets with every weekend while he is away from DC.

The Editor says...
After taking this action, Mr. Biden can't expect that his own executive privilege will be respected by future presidents.

Joe Biden, the great peacemaker! The Kremlin has correctly sized Biden up as a weak president who is desperate to distract attention from his many failures and collapsing poll numbers. What the Russian strongman must do to get much of what he wants from the West is present a credible threat to a neighboring state and the specter of nuclear weapons at the ready if things go sideways. [...] What does Putin want, and what is he likely to get, from a befuddled president?
• A moratorium on admission of additional states to NATO.
• A reduction of U.S. troops in Eastern Europe
• Dismantling of missile defense batteries along Russia's borders
• Assurances that America's and Europe's dependence on Russian fossil fuels continues.
What does Biden get if Russia announces a troop pullback and really follows through? Tensions ease. Hosannas from all quarters flow to Biden the peacemaker, the master negotiator (though details of the "understanding" would not be made public). [...] COVID missteps? Old news. And who would dare question the cognitive state of the president who tamed the Russian bear?

Embracing a gas tax gimmick, Biden takes election-year vote-buying to a new low. President Joe Biden's administration began with attacks on the fossil fuel industry. Among his first acts in office were the cancellation of a key pipeline and a halt to new federal drilling leases. [...] Biden is an unmitigated embarrassment when it comes to energy. Since taking office, he has repeatedly and obsequiously prostrated himself, begging every tinpot dictator and theocrat anywhere else in the world to make more oil — just so long as it isn't made by people in the U.S. He has begged OPEC for more production even as he retards production at home. Even worse, Biden is now jumping on board with a gimmicky election-year plan for a federal gas tax holiday through the end of 2022. He thinks 18.4 cents a gallon is enough to buy off swing voters in spite of his administration's appalling performance so far. Sure, this gas tax gimmick might save you up to $3 every time you fill up your car, but a gas tax holiday cuts into the funding that is supposed to be going toward infrastructure. Biden could reduce gas prices by even more than that without sacrificing the revenue if he would only let American producers do their thing.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Administration! Witnessing events as the currently installed regime does its best to manage the mess it's made, I'm reminded of the 1963 movie, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," [...] In my mind, that movie title aptly describes just about everything the current occupant of the Oval Office and his installed regime have done for over a year now, and they aren't slowing down. Exceeding expectations for failure at every step, with every single scheme, and while facing real-world challenges that come to every president and his administration, the man and his minions have increasingly demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of cause-and-effect, logical outcomes, and the sound governance of our citizens.

A Biden Reader. "Well, you're being a wise guy with me a little bit, and I understand that's your job." That was Joe Biden in a response to Lester Holt on Thursday night. As the NBC News anchor noted, inflation had surged 7.5 percent from January 2021 to January 2022. Back in July, Holt recalled, Biden said "no serious economist" believed unchecked inflation was on the way. Biden added that "our experts believe" the price increases were "expected to be temporary." During his January 19 press conference, Biden fielded a question about his speech on "voting rights" and his suggestion that those who opposed the Democrats' bill in Congress can be compared to Bull Connor. Biden told the reporter to "go back and read what I said." As it turns out, that is good advice on other subjects Joe Biden has addressed.

US offers Ukraine $1 billion to stabilize economy, intends to make billions more available. The United States has offered Ukraine a loan of $1 billion to help stabilize its economy, and it intends to make an additional $3 billion available through the Export-Import Bank. President Volodymyr Zelensky previously said Ukraine needed $4 billion to $5 billion to help stabilize the country's economy. The money from the U.S. will be used to support Ukraine's economic agenda and financial projects amid concerns about a Russian invasion.

The Editor says...
Where did Joe Biden get a billion dollars? Isn't the Congress supposed to approve this expenditure?

Joe Biden Braces for Staff Exodus as Director of Broadcast Media Quits. President Joe Biden and senior staff are preparing for departures, as White House director of broadcast media Mariel Saez has announced her decision to leave her position. "It has been an honor to serve the President as Director of Broadcast Media, and I am grateful to my talented and dedicated colleagues at the White House and across the Administration who worked hand-in-hand with me to communicate the President's priorities across broadcast media," Saez said in a statement to CNN, quitting after just one year in the job. Biden has only done a handful of broadcast interviews since taking office, usually embarrassing himself with lies, gaffes, and brain-freezes.

Biden's Popularity is Sinking Like the Titanic. President Job Biden is beginning his second year in office. Just over a year ago when he was elected, or selected, tears of joy flowed in blue cities. Political experts, like Taylor Swift expressed, "Quiet, cautious elation and relief." ABC News, a major player in the Biden campaign, proclaimed through their own tears of joy, "A new day of hope for America." Is the rest of America thrilled that Biden is in the White House? Was such optimism due Biden's election, or was this just a sense of relief that the tweeting orange man was on his way out the door?

Joe Biden: Stupid Or Liar? [Scroll down] So what has me asking this? The way Joe Biden answered a simple question from NBC News anchor Lester Holt on the President's failed, deadly retreat from Afghanistan. NBC News had just run a devastating report on the failures of the Biden administration in that retreat. Those failures were not the conclusion of NBC News, they'd never determine such a thing about a Democrat, this was the United States military. An investigation by the Army concluded gross incompetence and indifference led to the disastrous scramble at the Kabul airport and the deaths of 13 Americans soldiers at the hands of terrorists. This all could have been avoided, the report says, had the President's team listened to the military. The report details repeated warnings sent up the chain of command in the Biden administration, all of which were ignored.

A Shocking New $800 Million Biden Scandal. [Scroll down] One of my friends and fans is a successful businessman who imports COVID-19 antigen tests from China. The EXACT same ones Biden just bought by the millions from China, and from the EXACT same manufacturer. But there's one big difference. Based on what my friend pays directly from the manufacturer, it's possible Biden overpaid by $800 million of taxpayer money. Is Biden an incompetent fool? Or ... is this more Biden family corruption? Did Biden, or Hunter Biden, or a Biden administration lackey purposely overpay by $800 million, so that Biden or his family could receive a $100 million bribe/kickback deposited into an offshore account?

Supreme Court Vacancy: No White nor Male Folk Need Apply. Our current president has promised (or was strongarmed by James Clyburn into promising, you might correctly say) that he would nominate a black woman as Supreme Court Justice before the formal selection process ever began. As the Babylon Bee points out, Biden's desire for black representation in the Court should come as quite a shock to the esteemed Justice Clarence Thomas, against whom Biden attempted to carry out a "high-tech lynching" in order to prevent his selection just thirty years ago. But, in general and in principle, there is so much wrong with this promise having been made that it's hard to imagine it ever occurred in the same country I was raised in. Race doesn't matter in the slightest when it comes to the value one is able to provide in a free market of labor and ideas, after all. If there was one central premise around the idea of race during most of my lifetime, that was it.

Afghanistan's Karzai calls on Biden to reverse decision to unfreeze $3.5B for 9/11 victims. Hamid Karzai, the former president of Afghanistan, urged President Biden on Sunday to reverse his decision to unfreeze $3.5 billion in Aghan assets held in the U.S. for families of 9/11 victims. Karzai, who served as the country's president for 13 years after the Taliban were first ousted after the 9/11 attacks, told reporters in Kabul that the Afghan people are also victims of terrorism.

Declassified Pentagon report says Biden was dangerously indecisive about Afghan withdrawal - despite Psaki claiming on Friday report did not exist. Joe Biden's dithering withdrawal from Afghanistan has been blamed for worsening the chaos on the ground and putting American lives at risk by a newly-declassified US intelligence report. Newly-released papers compiled in the aftermath of the August withdrawal found that deadly chaos was only made worse due to indecisiveness among officials with the Biden administration officials in Washington D.C. Their reluctance to close down the U.S. embassy in Kabul only added to the confusion and made the mission even more dangerous, according to the [...] documents.

Key State Department Email Detailing $7 Million Bribe Was Never Provided to Trump's Impeachment Defense. A newly released email confirms that Burisma, the firm that gave Joe Biden's son Hunter a lucrative position on its board, paid a $7 million bribe to the Ukrainian prosecutor's office. The email also confirms that Obama's State Department knew about the bribe. Another email found on Hunter Biden's laptop in October 2020 suggested that he was later tasked by a top Burisma executive to shut down an investigation into Burisma. At the time the bribe was paid, Hunter was not only a Burisma board member, he was the head of Burisma's legal unit. The author of the newly released email, State Department official George Kent, testified at President Donald Trump's 2020 impeachment. Kent never mentioned the explosive information from his email — information that would have cleared Trump.

Report: Jill Biden Hampered Afghanistan Evacuation With Special Requests. The disaster that took place in Afghanistan in 2021 no longer dominates the headlines, but the after-effects are still being felt. After the evacuation, which resulted in the murder of 13 American servicemembers and countless Afghans, the Biden administration is still trying to clean up the mess it created. With women and children set to starve in incredible numbers because of the haphazard pull-out, the president is now moving to issue an executive order that will use frozen funds from the Afghan central bank for humanitarian relief. [Tweet] The problem with such an order is obvious. The Taliban is a terrorist organization masquerading as a legitimate government. Any money sent into the country is going to be misused and appropriated for nefarious activities.

CNN Poll Shows, Team Obama Have Pushed Disposable Joe Biden into the Political Furnace. The people constructing the policies of the Biden administration are the same people who installed him, community activists from Team Obama. In essence, Joe Biden's expressed policies unleashed, are Obama term 3 without care for the political fallout. CNN reports on the results and show that exactly what has been discussed here for well over a year. Obama's ideological crew have pushed disposable Joe Biden directly into the furnace of political consequence. [Video clip]

State Department Impeding Investigation Into Hunter Biden, GOP Senators Claim. Two Republican senators say the State Department impeded an investigation into Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings by "inappropriately" classifying emails about his work in Ukraine. Sens. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and Ron Johnson (Wis.) in a letter exclusively obtained by the Washington Free Beacon wrote that the department "improperly" classified an explosive document about Hunter Biden's work for Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company whose owner was investigated for bribery. "Recent records have come to light confirming that the State Department withheld records from our offices and improperly restrained us from making information public by inappropriately classifying information during our investigation into conflicts of interest involving Hunter Biden," they wrote to Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

The Biden family is a criminal enterprise as defined in the RICO Act. Although the 1970 Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) was initially targeted at gangsters, it equally applies to corrupt government practices involving low-level crooks led by the top players, linked together with a common purpose. No organized crime or criminal enterprise, in or out of government, can exist for long without corrupt law enforcement. Because of its corrosive impact on government, organized crime must be destroyed by prosecuting influence-peddling related crimes and those who aid or abet by concealing these crimes under the RICO Act. The founding principle of our criminal justice system is equal justice for all and no one is above the law. When organized crime occurs at the national level, billions of dollars are sucked away from the public treasury for fraudulent pay-to-play schemes, special legislative favors, and other influence-peddling. As a result, policy decisions are made contrary to the country's best interest.

Joe Biden Leaves Nothing but Questions After Ditching His Presidential Duties Again. Does the United State actually have a president? The answer to that question largely depends on what day it is. Sometimes, Joe Biden will show up to give a pre-written statement to the media, and once every three months or so, he'll actually answer questions from hand-selected reporters. Other than that, though, he has a habit of making himself scarce while his handlers gaslight about how hard of a worker he is. Biden has provided another example of that with an inexplicable decision to send Kamala Harris to the Munich Security Conference, where the President of the United States normally speaks. [Tweet] As far as I can tell, it's unusual to send a vice president to the Munich Security Conference. But even if it's happened before, it hasn't happened in a moment where Europe is on the verge of war, and Germany is playing a key role in stopping diplomatic progress. If there was ever a moment the president needs to show up for work, this is it, [...]

Biden Tells the World About His Multiple Aneurysms on Live TV. Back in 2013 then vice president Joe Biden told a sometimes serious and sometimes jocular story about the two brain surgeries he needed in 1988 to deal with cranial aneurysms. Biden told the White House audience "they take a saw and they cut your head off" and "they literally had to take the top of my head off." He also recounted that as he was being wheeled into surgery he asked the neurosurgeon, "What are my chances of getting off this table completely normal?" The surgeon told Biden he had a better chance of living — and that that chance was in the 35 to 50 percent range.

Joe Biden pushes dead $2T spending bill as cure for inflation woes. President Biden claimed Thursday that Democrats are "close" to passing his sweeping social spending bill — just hours after official data revealed inflation hit a new 40-year high in January, stiffening opposition to the $2 trillion plan. Biden gave the dubious spin about his agenda's status in a speech in Culpeper, Va., after annual inflation hit 7.5 percent, which centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said was more reason to resist massive new spending. "In my Build Back Better legislation that ... passed the House of Representatives, we can [lower drug prices]. Now we just have to get it through the United States Senate. And we're close," Biden claimed.

Everything about Biden is worse than we're being told.
Turns Out, Biden's Awful Afghan Exit Was Actually Much Worse Than We Knew. Most everyone knows Joe Biden's troop withdrawal from Afghanistan last summer was an unmitigated disaster of historic — and deadly — proportions. Not the decision to remove the last 2,500 U.S. troops after 20 years of war. That was inevitable and actually made two years ago by Donald Trump. But there was continuous mismanagement of the withdrawal ordered by a 79-year-old who distrusts the military and can't remember the name of his Defense Secretary. Biden had vowed a "safe and orderly" exit. Now comes a devastating 2,000-page after-action report by the Army with new, previously unpublished details about the withdrawal and evacuation's shocking behind-the-scenes chaos and abysmal preparation by the State Department and Biden White House. It shows that weeks before the Taliban victory, diplomats and White House officials resisted military advice that the situation was deteriorating rapidly and evacuation planning was necessary. At the White House, the president and his posse of younger aides were so focused on the perceived political prize of finally getting all U.S. troops out that they ignored strategic advice from generals on how to do that safely.

I doubt if Joe Biden will ever see this letter.
38 Republican lawmakers write to Biden again to urge him to take a cognitive test. More than three dozen House Republicans are demanding President Joe Biden submits to a cognitive test and outlined their concerns about his fitness for office in a searing letter sent on Wednesday [2/9/2022]. Thirty-seven GOP lawmakers signed onto the letter, written by former White House physician Rep. Ronny Jackson, and cited recent examples of the 79-year-old's 'mental decline' including forgetting numbers and names and hot mic moments. 'The American people should have absolute confidence in their President. They deserve to know that he or she can perform the duties of Head of State and Commander-in-Chief,' the letter, obtained by DailyMail.com, states.

And the Band Played On. You don't need to pull hard on the thread to see that Joe Biden came to the Oval Office with infirmities carefully hidden during a campaign in absentia. His verbal gaffes, stiffened gait, and distant stares are worrisome. Aides offstage stand ready to cut the feed whenever he wanders off course. By what authority and power, and over what fears, can a White House staffer abruptly stop an ongoing presidential conversation with his constituents? Follow that string to Biden's rare East Room pressers, where he seeks questions and gives answers from crib sheets and photographs that prompt him to single out certain reporters. When at wit's end, he takes a cue and walks away from or laughs off unsanctioned or challenging queries.

Hunter Biden tried to broker a $120 million oil deal between Chinese energy firm now under US sanctions. Hunter Biden was working with a Chinese oil company in Kazakhstan that is now under US sanctions and a former Kazakh prime minister now accused of treason to broker a lucrative pipeline deal, DailyMail.com can reveal. Emails obtained by DailyMail.com show the president's son teamed up with the former Kazakh prime minister Karim Massimov, now facing charges of high treason, to try to pull off a $120 million pipeline deal after similar ventures had faced opposition from Western energy firms. There is no indication Massimov's charges are connected to Hunter's pipeline deal.

Hunter Biden sought 'forever' deal with China military-tied firm: emails. Hunter Biden tried to strike an exceedingly lucrative, "forever" business deal with a state-owned Chinese energy company that's since been sanctioned by the US over its ties to the Chinese military, according to the latest emails unearthed from his infamous laptop. The plan would have apparently also involved the then-prime minister of Kazakhstan, who was arrested on suspicion of treason last month following his ouster as head of the country's intelligence service. The emails date to April 2014, when Biden's dad, President Joe Biden, was vice president and about a year before father and son apparently posed for a photo with the Kazakhstani official, Karim Massimov, in a Washington, DC, restaurant. The correspondence shows Hunter Biden and then-business partner Devon Archer — who has since cooperated in a tax probe of the first son — discussing an offer to help find "investment opportunities" for the China National Offshore Oil Corp.

Biden Makes Huge Concession In Attempt To Get Iran Back Into Nuke Deal. Well, it's time for weak-kneed Joe to make the United States look weak again. This time he's capitulated to Iran. In a bid to get Iran to move forward on talks, Biden restored the sanctions waiver for their nuclear program that allowed Russian, Chinese, and European companies to do "non-proliferation" work at Iranian sites. According to Foreign Affairs, here's the problem: Russia and China have already been helping Iran. And the work may not necessarily be related to "non-proliferation." In fact, if one believes that Iran will accept anything to do with "non-proliferation," I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Even the unexpected happens, and Iran agrees they won't follow what they agreed upon, just as they did with the Obama version[.]

Psaki Says it "Remains" Biden's Recommendation That Schools Force 2-Year-Olds to Wear Masks. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday went on the record and confirmed Joe Biden supports schools that abuse toddlers. Delaware and New Jersey are the latest Democrat-run states to lift all school mask mandates. The snakes in the liberal press pool are angry that Governors are ignoring the ridiculous CDC masking guidelines that recommend schools force 2-year-olds to wear masks (child abuse). When asked about New Jersey's decision to lift the school mask mandate, Psaki said it remains Biden's recommendation that schools force 2-year-olds to wear masks.

Nikki Haley: Putin, dictators know Biden is 'weakest president in history,' so they want to act now. Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Monday [2/7/2022] that Russian President Vladimir Putin and other autocrats know Joe Biden is "the weakest president in history" and therefore understand that if they want to take drastic actions like invading Ukraine, "this is the time to do it." Haley, a former South Carolina governor, told "Special Report" it was important for Biden to meet with Germany's new left-leaning chancellor, Olaf Scholz — as Berlin is in a sensitive diplomatic position given its place in NATO and Western democracy while also being reliant on Russian energy. Observers have pointed to Germany's curtailment of domestic nuclear energy production combined with Biden's own nixing of American energy infrastructure like the Keystone XL pipeline as helping create this tense scenario.

Biden administration waives sanctions on Iranian civilian nuclear activities as deal talks hang in balance. The Biden administration has waived sanctions related to Iran's civilian nuclear activities as part of its efforts to bring the regime back into compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal — while stressing that the waivers did not equal sanctions relief for Tehran. Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed a waiver that restored the ability of foreign companies and other countries to participate in civilian nuclear and safety projects in Iran without facing U.S. sanction. The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the development on Friday, reported that the waivers are aimed at turning Iran's heavy-water Arak reactor into a less-dangerous light-water reactor, and also applies to the export of enriched uranium and heavy water outside of Iran. The waivers would also allow fuel to be sent to two reactors used for civilian purposes.

Look with dawning horror at the presidential line of succession. Clueless Joe may have once had a political fastball and the ability to put it where he wanted. But as he turns eighty, Joe Biden's physically and mentally shot. All he serves up now is slop. Even the lying left-wing media are starting to admit what's been patently obvious to anyone with a working cerebrum: clueless Joe has run out of gas. It's only a matter of time before America has to make that call to the bullpen. And whom do we have warming up in the bullpen, you ask? Why, that would be the crafty leftie from California, "Heels Up" Harris. Harris earned her moniker by being Willie Brown's side piece as she, um, climbed the ladder of political success.

You Might Not Like It, but Hunter Biden's Shenanigans Are Real News. Today's crime drama surrounding Hunter Biden evokes a different repeated utterance: "Who did Hunter work for?" The troubled presidential scion is in the news again and raising questions about his father, President Joe Biden. This unwanted attention has also renewed questions about the media's relative lack of interest in the younger Biden's highly questionable business interests during the 2020 presidential election. Earlier this week, Politico reported: "The New York Times is still digging into Hunter Biden's business relationships." The Gray Lady sued the State Department to get emails about Hunter Biden that were sent or received by the US Embassy in Romania. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, these new emails reveal.

Sen. Ron Johnson Asks 'Full Accounting' of Biden Family's Chinese Business Deals. Americans need a "full accounting of Biden Inc.'s financial entanglements" with China, said Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who helped lead an earlier probe into the international business deals of President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden. A newly published book, "Red Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win" by Peter Schweizer, asserts that five deals with China helped the Biden family make a total of $31 million. In September 2020, Johnson, then-chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, and Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, then chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, issued a joint report on Hunter Biden's international business deals in China, Ukraine, and Russia.

America's crime spike goes much deeper than policing or the lack of it. Joe Biden is a known liar and plagiarist. The only reason that I'm not calling him a criminal is because he hasn't been convicted for the crimes that we all know he's committed. People need to wake up and smell the swamp. You can't steal right in front of your kids and then expect them to be law-abiding citizens when they grow up. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

Biden's False Gun Claims Are a Lousy Basis for Law. President Joe Biden so frequently and willfully tells lies about firearms that, if he were a podcaster talking about anything other than guns, aging rockers would trip over their walkers in a rush to sever even the most tenuous ties to him. Of course, we live in an age of misinformation and disinformation and probably should expect nothing better from the White House. But Biden proposes to impose ever-tougher rules based on his repetitive malarkey, illustrating the problem of governments wielding their vast regulatory apparatus based on misunderstandings and malice. "Congress needs to do its part too: pass universal background checks, ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, close loopholes, and keep out of the hands of domestic abusers — weapons, repeal the liability shield for gun manufacturers," Biden huffed last week in New York. "Imagine had we had a liability — they're the only industry in America that is exempted from being able to be sued by the public. The only one." Big, if true! But it's not. As it turns out, gun manufacturers are not immune from lawsuits for flaws in their products.

Why are triple-jabbed Joe and Jill still wearing their masks outside? Joe and Jill Biden wore face masks to walk across the lawn at the White House on their return from Delaware on Sunday, despite there being no mandate, Omicron infection rates collapsing and the country trying to get back to normal. The Bidens — who are vaccinated and boosted — covered their faces as they crossed the White House grounds surrounded by Secret Service agents and the press, even though the risk of an infection outdoors is negligible. It is not clear who the President, 79, or the First Lady, 70, were protecting or who they felt they needed protection from as the only people walking across the grounds.

The Editor says...
The easiest and (to me) the most obvious explanation is that the injections given to the President and VP are just sterile water, offering no protection at all from contagious diseases. The shots are just for propaganda purposes. On the other hand, so are the masks.

Schweizer Hits Another Home Run on Biden-China Corruption. [A review of Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win] The book is the usual fare from Schweizer — based on well documented and researched financial records that support assertions of the author. In this book, the focus is corruption in high places that results from cozy entanglements with China. This book focuses on the Chinese communist connections for good reasons: China has set about a long-term effort to compromise the political, business, cultural, academic, and scientific elements of America as a set up for creating global Chinese hegemonic control and dominance.

Biden [is] headed to Delaware this weekend. President Joe Biden will return to his Greenville home on Friday night at around 6:30 p.m. The White House schedule indicates that the president will depart from Andrews Air Force base and fly to New Castle Airport with Air Force One the likely aircraft, rather than the Marine One helicopter.

The Editor says...
Read between the lines: The President will fly in a Boeing 747 jumbo jet to a destination about 100 miles away. And the entire trip is unnecessary. He has a residence at the White House, but prefers to spend the weekends at one of his other houses. Where are the "carbon footprint" busybodies now? They are all completely silent. ["]Business Insider claims that per flight hour, Air Force One costs US citizens $206,337. That estimate includes not just plane fuel — a cost that makes even the most innovative planes commercially impossible — but also the president's security detail and the aerial backup provided by the Air Force.["] [Source]

Why is the New York Times suing for access to State Department correspondence on Hunter Biden and Romania? In its lawsuit, filed in federal court in Manhattan, the NYT states that they had on two separate occasions placed requests, under the Freedom of Information Act. The State Department had responded that the requested records would be provided only after April 15, 2023. The law requires all federal agencies to respond to a FOIA request within 20 business days unless there are "unusual circumstances." The NYT's suit is obviously an effort to expedite the State Department's timeline for the FOIA disclosures. To be precise, The NYT had requested access to emails, memos, and other records from 2015 to 2019 from US embassy officials in Bucharest, including former US Ambassador to Romania Hans Klemm, mentioning a number of individuals such as Hunter Biden and his former business associate Tony Bobulinski. Politico reports that the goal behind the exercise was to investigate if embassy officials did any special favors on behalf of private businesses such as that of Hunter Biden.

Biden removes some Iran sanctions imposed by Trump, including unfreezing $29 Billion in bank accounts overseas. The US State Department is waiving sanctions on Iran's civilian nuclear program in the hope that Tehran will return to the 2015 nuclear agreement, a senior official said Friday [2/4/2022]. As U.S. negotiators head back to Vienna for what could be a make-or-break session, Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed several sanctions waivers related to Iran's civilian nuclear activities. The move reverses the Trump administration's decision to rescind them. The resumption of the waiver, ended by Trump in 2020, 'would be essential to ensuring Iran's swift compliance' if a new deal on controlling Tehran's nuclear program can be reached in talks in Vienna, the State Department official said.

This is exactly what Barack H. Obama would have done. It is more evidence that we're living in Obama's third term.

Biden's Supreme Court Tradeoff. President Biden ignited a political firestorm last month when he announced that he would fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by Justice Stephen Breyer's resignation with a Black woman. This was reportedly the result of a deal (political quid pro quo) that candidate Biden struck with Representative James Clyburn (D-South Carolina) in return for delivering the Black vote in the South Carolina primary. President Biden did a huge disservice to both the integrity of the selection process in nominating justices to the high court and to the candidate that is ultimately chosen. The fact that Biden would enter into such a pact with Clyburn strongly suggests that these vacancies are for sale. It is worth noting that a former governor of Illinois (Rod Blagojevich) was impeached, convicted, and removed from office by a unanimous vote of the Illinois Senate (59 - 0) and spent considerable time in federal prison for "selling" the Senate seat that was vacated when Barack Obama was elected president. It matters not whether the bribe is denominated in dollars or votes.

Biden on gun control plan: 'There's no amendment that's absolute'. President Joe Biden said Thursday that his gun violence prevention strategy is necessary to combat rising violent crime in cities across the country and that preventing the sale of certain firearms "doesn't violate anybody's Second Amendment rights." "Making sure that people who are not allowed to have a gun, don't get the gun in the first place," the president said of his push to institute stricter background checks for firearm sales. "This doesn't violate anybody's Second Amendment right. There's no violation of the Second Amendment right to talk like there's no amendment that's absolute."

Just How Frail is Joe Biden? [Scroll down] One of the recent little political kerfuffles about Biden was that, despite his having spent an inordinate number of weekends at one of his Delaware homes, the White House is refusing to release the visitors' logs for those weekends. One theory is that the visitors are nefarious people visiting to make sure that Biden, having been bought via the intermediary of his son Hunter, stays bought. However, I have another theory. It exists in the same universe as the theory saying Biden spends so much time in Delaware because people in early-stage dementia do best when they're in a familiar environment. Building on that, I have a suspicion that the visitors' logs would reveal that physicians who specialize in geriatric care and dementia are making regular journeys to Delaware to pump Biden full of drugs that maintain his mental state.

Biden's war on American energy made us dependent, again. There are few issues where Trump and President Joe Biden have differed more broadly on policy than on energy production. Trump went full speed on fossil fuel production. He lifted drilling restrictions, especially in states such as Alaska and on federal lands in the continental states. He gave the green light to vitally needed pipelines. He blocked new extreme environmental regulations that were intended to choke off our oil and gas supplies. He recognized the shale oil and gas revolution as an unparalleled opportunity to reduce reliance on foreign oil. The Trump energy policy was an astonishing economic success story. By January 2021, exactly a year ago and Trump's last month in office, for the first time in nearly 50 years, the U.S. was producing more oil than we were consuming. We imported no net oil from Saudi Arabia and the OPEC cartel nations. We were also producing more oil and gas than the Russians and the Arabs.

Biden won't fire his all-powerful, Master of Disaster, Chief of Staff Ron Klain. The biggest news President Biden made at his news conference wasn't about Ukraine. It was his brief answer to the question: 'Are you satisfied with your team here at the White House, sir?' Biden, to the consternation of observers in both parties, answered curtly: 'I am satisfied with the team.' For Washington insiders, the decision to keep his current team into his second year as president is inexplicable.

This is exactly what Barack H. Obama would do:
Biden offers Putin access to NATO bases. President Joe Biden has offered Russian President Vladimir Putin access to NATO bases so that Moscow can verify the US does not have Tomahawk cruise missiles in Romania or Poland in a bid to avoid war in Ukraine. Sources close to Biden told Bloomberg on Tuesday the proposal would only come to fruition upon agreement with American allies, especially Poland and Romania. Russia would also need to share similar information about a number of bases housing ground-launched weapons. Biden's proposal reportedly aims to diminish the Kremlin's fears that the US could use the missiles to target Russia.

New York Times Sues To Get Hunter Biden Information. We have repeatedly discussed the virtual news blackout on the influence peddling by the Biden family, particularly Hunter Biden. Despite overwhelming evidence of millions given by foreign companies and officials, the media has preferred to cover literal scoops over a story of breathtaking levels of self-dealing and corruption by the Bidens. Now, however, the New York Times has sued to force the Biden Administration to turn over information on Hunter Biden's Romanian dealings. The lawsuit comes after another report that, in 2019, the FBI subpoenaed JP Morgan for records on Hunter Biden's Chinese dealings.

Colossal Incompetence: Biden officials [were] completely unprepared for fall of Afghanistan, leaked memo shows. It's not huge news that the Biden administration was a colossal failure on Afghanistan, or that Joe Biden still thinks there's nothing to apologize for. What's news now is the colossal incompetence that went on inside that administration as Afghanistan was collapsing, according to a leaked memo that Axios got hold of: [...] The group involved here, known as the "deputies small group" of lower-level officials in charge of this operational planning, didn't know what they were doing. Apparently, they hadn't even started thinking about evacuating Afghan translators and collaborators until the day the capital fell. [...] They were a little slow on the uptake, and in any case, didn't give this issue much attention at all. They had no idea who they needed to get out of there. They had no idea where to take them for stopovers. In the end, they ended up transporting people who couldn't get visas the normal way, while the actual allies, and a lot of Americans, were simply left behind, out of sight, out of mind, no problematic 'optics' for Team Biden, which is the only thing they cared about.

Why Did Joe Biden Build His Hollywood Oval Office Set? An Answer Emerges. One year ago, Reuters and all the rest of the mainstreams released their minion fact-checkers to debunk the notion that Joe Biden had a fake Oval Office from which he was doing the American people's business. [...] While the White House hasn't officially commented about its rationale for the fake office, it is becoming clearer by the day. The president doesn't get out much, in case you hadn't noticed. He "calls a lid" early on most days, whereas Trump was up early and stayed up late. During January in the second year of his presidency, where we are now with Joe Biden, Trump was mocked for getting to the Oval Office at eleven — though he'd begun his day sometimes as early as 4 a.m., judging from his tweets. Barack Obama started at 10:00 in the morning. Joe doesn't appear to work many weekends; he starts late and leaves early. He doesn't travel much.

Revisiting the Keystone XL Pipeline and Joe Biden's False Promise of 'Green Jobs'. Joe Biden began his train wreck of a presidency a year ago by putting America last and never looked back. On his first day in office, he canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have supported thousands of well-paying jobs while lowering energy prices. If constructed, the 1,200 mile pipeline would have carried 830,000 barrels per day of oil from Alberta, Canada and North Dakota to Nebraska and from there converge with a completed portion of the pipeline that carries oil to the Gulf of Mexico. Biden incessantly points to climate change as a rationale for canceling domestic energy initiatives that benefit average Americans. But his arguments don't hold up under scrutiny.

Biden and His Clown Car Have Failed America! President Biden's first year was the epic failure Republicans and conservatives warned it would be, showing why we supported President Trump's campaign against Biden. The disasters seem too numerous to list. On foreign policy, the Afghanistan withdrawal was a disaster, taking our military out before we evacuated civilians and allies, and leaving all our weapons to arm terrorists. China and Russia see Biden's weakness and incompetence, with yet-unknown consequences. On domestic policy, $2 trillion of unwarranted COVID socialism has given us horrible inflation, especially on gas and food. Regulations are choking our businesses, with the Supreme Court saving some businesses but not others. And Biden continues his failed attempts at socialist authoritarian power grabs labeled with Orwellian doublespeak, such as taking over elections but calling it "voting rights," destroying America's free market economy but calling it "build back better," creating two new Senate seats by unconstitutionally calling DC a "state," destroying the Senate's separate role from the House by calling the filibuster "racist," and destroying the Supreme Court as an independent branch of government but calling it "expanding."

If you wanted proof Biden isn't in charge of his own administration, here it is. The same media establishment that colluded with the Democrats to cover up Joe Biden's dementia in order to get Donald Trump out of the White House are now providing cover for his obvious status as a puppet for unseen handlers. This is an extraordinary moment in history, with the American people kept in the dark about who is actually in charge of the executive branch during a period of multiple grave crises in foreign affairs, the economy, and public health. A mere 32 seconds' worth of video depicting the end of Biden's address to the nation's governors proves that he is not in charge of his presidency. He indicates that the plan was for him to take questions, beginning with one from the Governor of Utah. (The oddity of a POTUS planning in advance the questioners at the end of events, including press conferences, is a separate and disturbing issue. Scripting so closely suggests an inability to handle spontaneity and stage management of Q&A that is unseemly.) But, as you will see, someone else decided that Biden was not going to follow that plan. My guess is that he was showing signs of incoherence, of the phenomenon known as "sundowning," where a dementia patient loses coherence as the day wears on. But whatever the cause of the change of plans, it is crystal clear that Biden is not calling the shots at his own public event.

Joe Biden, enemy of America. From the moment Joe Biden stepped into the Oval Office as president it became clear that he stole the job in order to destroy America from within. He stopped the construction of the Keystone Pipeline on day one, costing thousands of good paying jobs. He stopped the construction of the southern border wall, costing more jobs and leaving millions of dollars' worth of equipment rotting in the desert. Biden would not even let Texas use the construction materials themselves; any wall would impede the Biden plan to import over two million migrants from around the world, to be given funds and to spread them throughout the nation into unsuspecting cities. The Democrats voted unanimously that these illegal invaders would not be required to be vaccinated or even tested for Covid. That should tell us everything we need to know about how seriously the left really takes this phony pandemic. They know it is phony because it's wirked for their advantage from the outset. They had to do something to derail President Trump. So, with a stroke of Biden's pen, the energy independence Trump had achieved was gone.

You may have a solid racial discrimination claim against Joe Biden. The White House last week leaked word of Justice Stephen Breyer's imminent retirement. [...] Attention has been diverted from Joe Biden's ongoing bungling of Ukraine, the economy, COVID, the border, Afghanistan and his plummeting poll numbers, by a renewed focus on his campaign promise to nominate a black woman for the next Supreme Court opening. Indeed, the very next day Biden repeated that promise. He explicitly stated that he would replace Breyer with a black woman. Anyone not a black woman need not apply for the job. Limiting the job applicants to black women, it should be noted, reduces the applicant pool considerably. Black women are about 2% of American lawyers. This is illegal racial discrimination under an array of federal and state civil rights laws. Imagine if an employer announced in a job posting that they would refuse to even consider certain races for a job opening.

US Attorney Doc: IRS Issued Grand Jury Subpoena to JPMorgan for Hunter, James Biden Bank Records. A criminal IRS investigation into Hunter Biden — President Biden's son — appears to have convened a grand jury as far back as May 2019, a confidential subpoena served to JPMorgan Chase bank reveals. The subpoena also seeks bank records of James Biden, the president's brother, which appears to be the first time another Biden family member has surfaced in connection with the investigation. The document, obtained by Breitbart News, specifically demands information on related transactions between JPMorgan Chase Bank, which the document calls "correspondent bank," and the Bank of China, which the document calls the "originating or beneficiary bank."

Hunter Biden and associates received 2019 subpoena over business deals in China. A grand jury subpoena was issued 17 months before the 2020 election for Hunter Biden's bank transactions involving the Bank of China, a corruption watchdog has found, raising concerns that damaging material about then-candidate Joe Biden was hidden from voters. The order sent by the Department of Justice to JP Morgan Chase bank asked for the records of any international financial transactions for the past five years involving Hunter, his uncle James Biden and former business partners Devon Archer and Eric Schwerin, according to federal documents. The anti-corruption nonprofit Marco Polo, founded by former Trump administration official Garrett Ziegler, obtained the filing, which targets the financial ties between the four men and the Bank of China.

Biden's 'Anger' Over High Insulin Prices Is Fake. Here's Why. On Friday, Joe Biden started yelling in anger during a speech in Pennsylvania while talking about the high price of insulin. [...] Biden isn't furious. His rage is phony, clearly scripted, probably suggested by one of his handlers who thought that, if he appears more animated and invigorated, it will quell concerns that he cannot handle the presidency — which polls show is indeed a concern for most Americans.

Biden to Announce Black Female SCOTUS Nominee During Black History Month. President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring after four decades, and his successor will be a black woman, which he will nominate by the end of February. "Choosing someone to sit on the Supreme Court I believe is one of them most serious constitutional responsibility a president has. Our process is going to be rigorous. I will select a nominee worthy of Justice Breyer's legacy of excellence and decency. While I've been studying candidates' backgrounds, I've made no decision except one," the president said. "The person I will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity, and that person will be the first black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court. It's long overdue, in my view. I made that commitment during the campaign for president, and I will keep that commitment," he said.

When Biden visits, even the bridges collapse. If you needed a metaphor for President Joe Biden's economic recovery, or even his presidency, you just got it on Friday. The very day the president went to Pittsburgh to talk about infrastructure, a bridge collapsed. If you have a bridge on your commute, you would do well to keep an eye on whether Biden has plans to visit your town. [Video clip] Yes, we are joking, of course. But the bridge metaphor works because Biden has a track record of making everything he touches worse. Between his staggeringly incompetent exit from Afghanistan and his deplorable conduct in handling the border crisis he created, Biden is really stinking up the joint. But it is the economy where he is arguably doing the most damage.

Biden's Brain Turns to Confetti in Real Time During PA Remarks. Joe Biden traveled to Pittsburgh today to talk about Build Back Better and infrastructure. Hours before he got there, the Forbes Avenue bridge collapsed, injuring 10 people. So, he used that as a talking point about the importance of infrastructure. Infrastructure is desperately needed, but I wouldn't trust for a minute that money allocated by Democrats will go to the things that need infrastructure help.

The Editor says...
[#1] Blue states don't fix their own bridges; they wait for their problems to get severe, and they beg the federal government for help. [#2] How often do bridges collapse without warning? Usually, bridges are inspected regularly, and if there's any indication that a collapse is likely or imminent, the bridge will be closed pending repairs. Now, what are the chances that an unexpected bridge collapse would happen on the day Joe Biden made a trip to the same city to make a speech about that very topic? And at a time when the president's approval rating is at rock bottom, but still sinking?

The bridge was known to be potentially hazardous.
Pittsburgh bridge's 2016 infrastructure funding reportedly diverted to bike lanes and green energy programs. Joe Biden and his Democrat allies wasted no time trying to make political hay out of a bridge collapse in Pittsburgh, a city Biden had just arrived in to discuss his infrastructure bill: ["]The collapse happened just hours before President Biden traveled to the area to speak at a previously scheduled event about the $1 trillion infrastructure bill he signed into law last year.["] [...] One problem: The bridge has already been to that infrastructure well earlier. [Tweet] Instead of repairing the bridge with what likely would have been the Obama-era shovel-ready 2009 infrastructure funds for "roads and bridges," known as the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act," the cash went to bike lanes and green boondoggles, and too bad about the actual structure that was decaying and deteriorating. Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg loves those bike lanes. Bridges that stay up? That is for someone else to take care of. And of course, no one did.

Pittsburgh Bridge Conveniently Collapses Hours Before Fake Pres. Biden Gives a Speech on his So-Called Infrastructure Bill. Just hours before the election thief in the White House was scheduled to give a speech about an infrastructure bill that looks a lot more like payouts to friends and donors who helped him steal the 2020 election, a bridge collapsed, injuring at least 10 people. Five cars and a Port Authority bus were on the bridge at the time of the collapse, which took place at about 6:39 a.m., city officials said. Ten people reported minor injuries including the three victims who were hospitalized, Pittsburgh Fire Chief Darryl Jones said. [Video clip]

Ukraine President Zelensky Tells Joe Biden to Chill Out and Stop Trying to Create a War With Russia. The dynamic between the Joe Biden administration and the government of Ukraine is very interesting and thoroughly corrupt. President Volodymyr Zelensky is trying to avoid being the 2022 version of Libyan President Muammar Gadaffi, circa 2011. Meanwhile, the entirety of the corrupt and manipulative Joe Biden administration, the U.S. State Department, the CIA, the Pentagon and the U.S. Congress are all saying, "Nice country you got there, it'd be a shame if something happened to it", while simultaneously poking the Russian bear to attack. Biden and the deepest state want them their proxy war, and they will not be denied.

[The] White House [is being] urged to release transcripts of call with Ukraine after Biden allegedly told to 'calm down' over Russian invasion remarks. CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper posted and later deleted a report on social media reporting on President Joe Biden's call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which went poorly for the American leader according to a CNN reporter who reported on the call. Per the report, Biden told Zelensky that a Russian invasion of Ukraine was virtually certain and that the country's capital city of Kyiv would be "sacked" and potentially even "occupied" by Russian forces within weeks. Biden then reportedly informed his Ukrainian counterpart that the United States would not be sending any advanced military equipment or putting any boots on the ground to support Ukraine in the event of an invasion by Russian forces. A portion of the Jake Tapper report on the subject ran live on CNN, detailing how poor the meeting was for Biden. During the meeting, Zelensky allegedly told Biden to "calm down" when the US president insisted that a Russian invasion was "imminent."

Chinese elite have paid some $31 million to Hunter and the Bidens. For those wondering why Joe Biden is soft on China, consider this never-before-reported revelation: The Biden family has done five deals in China totaling some $31 million arranged by individuals with direct ties to Chinese intelligence — some reaching the very top of China's spy agency. Indeed, every known deal that the Biden family enjoyed with Beijing was reached courtesy of individuals with spy ties. And Joe Biden personally benefited from his family's foreign deals. What are these deals? And who are the individuals who made them happen for the Bidens? Here, then, are a few key facts about the Biden family's $5 million-plus deals with individuals in bed with Chinese intelligence. [...]

Pennsylvania Democrats Ditch Biden Event As His Poll Numbers Tank. Two leading Democrats running for statewide office in Pennsylvania will not appear alongside President Joe Biden at a Friday [1/28/2022] tour of a Pittsburgh-area tech development hub. Biden will visit Mill 19, a tech hub developed by Carnegie Mellon University on the grounds of a former steel mill, to promote the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and discuss manufacturing and supply chains. Joining him will be Democratic Rep. Conor Lamb, who is running to replace retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey. Scientists and engineers working at Mill 19, located in Hazelwood, Pennsylvania, work primarily on robotics and artificial intelligence. Friday's visit will be Biden's second to the Pittsburgh area as president.

In 2003, Joe Biden Filibustered and Voted Against Nomination of a Black Woman to the Federal Bench. In 2003, then-President George W. Bush nominated Janice Rogers Brown, an associate justice on the California Supreme Court to serve as a Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. She was the first black woman nominated for the federal bench. But Rogers Brown had a problem; she was a libertarian-conservative and refused to play ball with civil rights organizations. One of her major decisions was a dissent in the case of forcing cigarette manufacturers to put warning labels on packs and cartons. A truly libertarian decision. She also attacked the New Deal, which gave us Social Security and other programs as "the triumph of our socialist revolution." You can imagine the anger of her liberal colleagues over that one.

CNN: Biden told Ukraine's president a Russian invasion was virtually certain (but the White House denies it). It's not clear if this is a misunderstanding, an attempt to make President Biden look bad or just a CNN screw up. This afternoon a CNN national security correspondent claimed on Twitter that a fellow CNN correspondent had been given an account of President Biden's recent conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to an unnamed source, Biden had said a Russian invasion was virtually certain and that Kyiv could be 'sacked."

The Mystery of the Biden - Zelensky call. [Scroll down] For these ravenous warmongers, senile doddering perpetually listless and mercurial Joe Biden was their blank check upon which they can write whatever figure they pleased. We are now seeing possible proof that Biden (or his handlers) may be pushing for an unnecessary conflict. President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine and Joe Biden had a call yesterday evening to discuss the tense situation over the Russia-Ukraine border. However, a Ukrainian official told CNN's Matthew Chance that the call between the two leaders 'did not go well.' Earlier Jen Psaki had claimed that the Russian invasion of Ukraine remains imminent. CNN claims that Biden, sticking to the narrative pushed earlier by Psaki, told Zelensky to brace his country for a certain Russian invasion; Biden also claimed that Kyiv could be 'sacked' (annexed) by Russian forces. Ukrainian leaders alleged disagreed with that Biden's assessment, insisting that an invasion is not imminent. They claimed that intelligence officials looking at satellite photos on an hourly basis do not see Russia moving any troops into combat mode or preparing for an attack[.]

Biden has forever stigmatized his Supreme Court nominee. Joe Biden announced on the campaign trail a couple of years ago that he intended to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court. He re-affirmed that intention today in the wake of Justice Stephen Breyer's retirement announcement. It's not that Biden has a particular nominee in mind who just happens to be a black woman. No, it's that being a black woman is the main criteria. This is not unprecedented for Biden. In the Democrat primaries, he announced he intended to choose a woman for his running mate. And then he did. We got Kamala Harris, who is reasonably qualified for the job — if the only qualification is being a woman. But it's not. The job of vice president entails things other than being a woman. On those other things, she's not up to the job according to polls of the American people.

Biden [goes] out for ice cream as Ukraine crisis, border crisis, inflation, and crime, spin out of control. Joe Biden has a funny way of dealing with crises. Instead of working the phones or discussing strategies with diplomats or military officials, he takes a jaunt outside for ice cream. [...] Ukraine is the most dramatic but far from the only crisis he needs to be dealing with. In New York City, five police officers have been shot and at least some killed just since the first of the year in a frightful response from the criminal-American community to Democrat district attorneys' refusal to prosecute crime. The garbage-strewn train tracks in California are a grotesque confluence of unpunished thievery and an attack on the already stressed supply chain, which also features docked ships stranded in the water off the West Coast. In Canada, a huge mass movement of truckers opposed to vaccine mandates is building into a full-blown crisis, which will create both a supply chain stress there and here, and a political crisis over there — an ally right on our border. Meanwhile, the U.S. border situation is out of control, with federal officials now seeking to conceal (with tarps) the march of unvetted, unvaccinated military-aged illegally present single men being marched through the NGOs with folders in hand, onward to bus stops, taxis, and airport terminals for "free flights" to their destinations of choice. So much for "Remain in Mexico," which a judge recently ordered Biden to abide by based on all the phony asylum cases. The lawlessness isn't just something the illegals are involved in; the Biden administration is also engaged in lawlessness of its own. Let's not even get into inflation, which has brought soaring prices for consumers in addition to sparsely stocked store shelves.

Biden warns he will pull the plug on Nord Stream 2 if Putin invades Ukraine. Joe Biden's administration has issued a dramatic warning to Vladimir Putin that if he invades Ukraine the key $11bn Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline into Germany will be cancelled. The Biden administration yesterday warned the Kremlin that it would halt the pipeline using sanctions if there was military action taken against Ukraine. 'I want to be very clear: if Russia invades Ukraine one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward,' State Department spokesperson Ned Price told reporters. The spokesman refused to go 'into specifics', but added: 'We [The US] will work with Germany to ensure it does not move forward.'

Joe Biden's kindly uncle routine has always been a facade — he's dangerous. For 50 years, Joe Biden cultivated an illusory image of being a kindly — if dimwitted — uncle: someone whose terrible politics and inappropriate malapropisms were tolerated because he said he meant well. What a farce. Uncle Joe — now firmly in grandfather territory — was never that guy. Long a fantasist who recounts fake stories years after they've been debunked, Biden was always a hit-and-run liar. He was also always a hack and a jerk, with an anger that betrays the arrogance of a corrupt elite. This week, he called Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a "stupid [...]" for asking a straightforward question about rising prices. He later "cleared the air," but if we had a dime for every time Biden acted viciously, we could afford his skyrocketing inflation.

WaPo's Article About Biden's Struggles Sure Does Drive a Dagger Into His Presidency. Joe Biden's presidency is one year old — and it's a total nightmare. The nation is still divided. Omicron is sweeping the nation. Inflation is through the roof. The grocery store has bare shelves. The supply chain crisis is ongoing. The border crisis is out of control. The Afghanistan withdrawal was a nightmare. We might see another embassy evacuation in Ukraine. The jobs reports are trash. It's not going well. The only person who thinks all is well is... Joe Biden. That doesn't account for much since he's dementia-ridden. He's old. He's slow. He's stupid. Three things the president of the United States cannot be in this world. The scent of weakness is present for all to see, which is why Russia and China are flexing big league right now. As Russia prepares for a possible invasion of Ukraine, China is probably smiling looking at the Taiwan Strait.

Biden threatens to send troops to Eastern Europe. President Joe Biden on Tuesday said he told Russian President Vladimir Putin that the United States would deploy thousands of troops to Eastern Europe if Russia continues its military buildup along Ukraine's border or mounts a renewed invasion of the country. But the American president also said he would not send troops into Ukraine, even as the White House warned that Russia was likely to move its forces across the border at any moment.

Why not appoint Hunter Biden as ambassador? He has plenty of experience in Ukraine. More than anyone will admit!
U.S. Still Doesn't Have an Ambassador to Ukraine, Is It a Problem Amid Russia Tensions? After more than a year in office, President Joe Biden has still not nominated someone to be the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine. The leadership gap has been highlighted amid growing concerns of a Russian invasion of the U.S. ally, but experts told Newsweek that not having a Senate-confirmed ambassador is more of a perception issue than a significant problem for the administration. "Of course, we all agree there should be a full-time diplomat," said Rajan Menon, the director of the grand strategy program at Defense Priorities, a think tank focused on U.S. security. "But I'm not of the opinion that this is somehow some catastrophic error. There are many bigger things that are going to decide this crisis and having an ambassador there or not is not going to be one of them."

Experts say Biden's offer to replace Europe's gas supplies if Putin turns off the taps 'is just not physically possible'. Experts have warned that President Joe Biden's plan to shore up Europe's supply of natural gas if Vladimir Putin cuts off supplies won't work because other nations can't make up the shortfall. The Biden administration Tuesday [1/25/2022] said it is preparing to source gas from other countries in case Russia cuts off energy supplies — a scenario European allies fear will come to pass if Moscow invades the Ukraine. However, Samantha Gross, the Director of Energy Security and Climate Initiative at the Brookings Institution, told DailyMail.com that the imitative was doomed to failure.

Biden's personal Covid fears. As Omicron began storming the country in December, the president and the vice president changed their own masking protocols. At the advice of their personal health advisers, they largely ditched the black surgical masks they previously sported and began wearing KN95's weeks before the CDC updated their own masking guidance. The change reflects a dynamic within this White House — one that's dictated everything from internal operations to the president's travel schedule and could very well scuttle his ambitions to criss cross the country more this year. They're terrified of Joe Biden getting Covid. Some current and former White House officials foresee a potential political and policy disaster if the president were to contract the virus, even though he is vaccinated and boosted.

Biden Family Scored $31 Million from Deals with Individuals with Direct Ties to the Highest Levels of Chinese Intelligence. [In his new book, Peter] Schweizer explains that Beijing saw a financial relationship with the Bidens as an opening for "elite capture," which allowed Hunter Biden to secure meetings and score major deals with people in the highest levels of Chinese financial institutions and the Chinese Communist Party — and in return they would be able to leverage the Bidens' power for their interests. One of the central early players in the Bidens' Chinese deals is a tycoon by the name of Che Feng, or "The Super Chairman," as Hunter and his partners referred to him. Che, the son of a PLA soldier, has been described in Western media as "a shadowy and discreet investor," whose father-in-law was the governor of the People's Bank of China, and whose business partner was the Vice Minister of State Security, a man by the name of Ma Jian. Schweizer writes that Ma was reportedly the director of the ministry's No. 8 Bureau, overseeing North American operations targeting foreigners with its counterintelligence apparatus.

Joe Biden Launches Into an Expletive-Laden Attack on Fox News' Peter Doocy. Remember when we were all assured that Joe Biden was a paradigm of decency? Unlike the bad orange man, he would never lose his temper and launch a gross attack on the free press. Well, that's how the story went anyway. In reality, Biden has continuously shown himself to be a thin-skinned man-child who can't take even the slightest hint of criticism. Today, that boiled over into an expletive-laden attack on Fox News' Peter Doocy. [This event] would have CNN's Jim Acosta in tears if it involved Donald Trump.

Biden to Staff in 2021: 'I Will Fire You on the Spot' if You Disrespect Others. President Joe Biden may have to fire himself for calling Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a bitch" because he told his staff in 2021 that he had a zero-tolerance policy toward treating others with disrespect.

Biden's mask has slipped. [Scroll down] Biden can't have his decorum cake and eat it, too. It is once again worth trying to imagine what might have happened if Trump had uttered such a phrase towards a journalist. CNN would have made it a lead news item for a week. Pundits would have said that he was 'threatening' journalists, endangering free speech and so on. People in Washington do like Joe, it's true. He has always been able to cultivate friends on Capitol Hill — until recently, anyway. But Washington isn't a place where genuine and amiable people get on and Biden has always propped up his nice-guy persona with sometimes quite shocking rudeness — long before age made him the cranky near-octogenarian we see today.

Biden to Doocy: It's not personal, sonny, it's strictly business. "Mr. Unity strikes again," Sean Hannity quips, but he and Peter Doocy eventually laugh off Joe Biden's irritated riposte to Doocy's question on inflation. Doocy revealed on Hannity that Biden tracked down Doocy to apologize ... kinda. When pressed on that point, Doocy tells Hannity that they agreed to keep "moving forward," which amuses Hannity: [Video clip] [...] If anything, this might have made Joe Biden look more coherent than usual, John Hinderaker posits. The sarcasm and name-calling reflect that Biden really is worried about inflation and its effect on Democratic electoral prospects, a point that some missed in the exchange.

Poll finds 60 percent would vote against Biden if election was held now. Six in 10 Americans would vote for someone other than President Biden if the 2024 presidential election was held today — a rate higher than his predecessors Barack Obama and Donald Trump, according to a poll released Sunday [1/23/2022]. [...] Asked about Biden's handling of the economy, 58 percent to 41 percent disapprove. When it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic, 52 percent to 46 percent disapprove; 59 percent to 37 percent disapprove of his handling of border security; and 54 percent to 41 percent disapprove of his handling of foreign policy.

NBC's Chuck Todd: "Biden No Longer Seen as Competent and Effective". You know it's bad when Chuck Todd is trashing Joe Biden and admitting the Democrats are in trouble for the midterms. After a disastrous first year, NBC's Chuck Todd said Joe Biden is "no longer seen as competent and effective. He's no longer seen as a good commander-in-chief." 54% of adults disapprove of Joe Biden's performance, according to a new left-leaning NBC News poll. 72% say the country is on the wrong track. "That kind of presidential approval rating leads to a shellacking for the party in power," Chuck Todd said on Sunday's "Meet the Press." The polls are left-leaning so the numbers are a lot worse than what is being reported which is why Joe Biden and the Democrats are desperately trying to federalize elections.

The man in charge at the White House isn't Joe Biden. Who, really, is in charge at the White House? It sure doesn't look to be President Joe Biden. The latest evidence came last week when Chief of Staff Ron Klain delivered a behind-the-scenes message to Democratic allies and staff, just hours after Biden's disastrous news conference: The prez had failed to mention that his next Build Back Better bill would fund child and elder care, but Klain insisted it would. As Axios reported, "Klain's private comments are yet another indication the White House has a core set of priorities it plans to fight for" ... even if the president doesn't know about it fully yet. Klain's real message: Don't worry, we staff will make sure Biden does what we say. Yet some in Congress want the actual president to take charge: Politico reports that moderate Democrats complain that Klain is "overly deferential to their liberal colleagues" and want him out.

The Voters Don't Care About 'Biden's Agenda'. Unlike the media, the voters couldn't care less about Biden's agenda, except to the extent that it affects the challenges they face on a day-to-day basis. And, for most of the electorate, the first year of Biden's presidency has been disastrous. He has made no measurable progress on his pledge to get the pandemic under control, he is in denial about the state of the economy — including his administration's role in exacerbating inflation — and he refuses to acknowledge the adverse effects of his ill-conceived immigration policy. Indeed, Biden genuinely seems to believe that his administration has "outperformed" expectations.

Sam Nunberg: Biden Abandoned Ukraine for Cutting Off Hunter. Former Trump aide Sam Nunberg believes that President Joe Biden essentially gave Vladimir Putin the green light to invade Ukraine because the Ukrainian energy company Burisma stopped bribing him after the 2016 election of former President Donald Trump. Speaking with politics editor Matthew Boyle on Breitbart News Saturday, Nunberg expanded on a tweet he posted Friday suggesting that Biden abandoned Ukraine due to Hunter Biden's corruption.

Biden's regulatory bender is crushing the US economy. By so many measures, Joe Biden's presidential administration falls at the bottom of the scale. But there is one metric by which Biden is tops — in fact, the very tops in all of history. That is the regulatory costs his administration has imposed on the nation in a single year. The American Action Forum, a conservative think tank that tracks government regulation, has tallied up what government agencies estimate their regulations cost. The Biden administration has now imposed $201 billion in regulation — more than three times the cost that President Barack Obama's very left-wing administration imposed on families and businesses in its first year.

Peter Schweizer: No Question China Invested Financially In Biden Family Knowing His Influence. Peter Schweizer on Life, Liberty and Levin: "the Biden family, while he was vice president and continuing when he became president, received some $31 million from Chinese individuals who we're linked to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence[.]" [Video clip]

Must-see TV: Mark Levin interview with Peter Schweizer exposes $31 million in CCP money to the Biden family and much more. Sunday's edition of Life, Liberty, and Levin, the one-hour long-form interview show hosted by Mark Levin on Fox News is essential viewing. If you don't have just over a half hour to watch the almost-complete show (embedded below), I strongly recommend that you spend a mere 3 minutes and 20 seconds watching a summary off his research findings on the Biden family's gigantic payday "for no discernable work" from corporate entities controlled by members of the CCP elite. [Video clip]

The Coming Dethronement of Joe Biden. [Scroll down] Biden clearly overpromised. Just utter the word "normalcy" anywhere near the name "Biden" and watch the reaction. But many people jumped all over the second bit. Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), for example, quoted the word "outperformed" and tweeted: "I'm not sure what planet he's inhabiting but on planet earth his record is a record of failure." That is true. It's a dismal record of failure, and we've only made it through one year. Biden's even outdone his master, Barack Obama, who before Biden held the world record for worst president in the history of the United States. Biden is far worse, in part, granted, because he continues to follow the blueprint set forth by his clean, elegantly clad predecessor. But I have to cavil with the idea that Biden has not "outperformed" expectations. He certainly outperformed mine. I didn't think he would make it through his first year in the White House.

Our current leaders have outlived their usefulness. Our esteemed media and "party leaders" created Biden the President. There seems to be no clear path away from three more years of this torture. It's a given that Kamala would be an equally awful choice. Having her meaninglessly cackling to other world leaders, or unthinkingly directing our military towards rash actions, might be even worse for the American people than what Joe's being directed to do and say. If this were the corporate world, our two "heads of state" would be relieved of their positions, pronto. There wouldn't be mere whispers about incompetence but real consequences: The company's stock would plunge and stockholders and the board would demand change. Too bad government doesn't run that way.

Biden has the Reverse Midas Touch — just like Barack H. Obama!
Everything Biden Has Touched Has Fallen Apart. In one year, everything that President Biden has touched has fallen apart. The United States today is less secure, less prosperous and less free than it was on January 19, 2021. Look no further than the record number of border crossings or the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. While he rolls out the welcome mat on the southern border, President Biden abandons the prison at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan and lets thousands of Taliban terrorists go free. Taken alone, either of these disasters is a huge threat to Americans' security. Taken together, we're facing the probability that terrorists — who believe that they were released from prison to extract revenge on the U.S. — could be smuggled across our border and into our cities. My friends gave their lives for American security, and now, the commander-in-chief has shown zero commitment to our cause.

Emails Confirm Hunter Biden Invested in Chinese Government-Owned Companies. A new report from Fox Business, sourcing emails obtained by the media company, shows that Hunter Biden's investments into Chinese companies lasted well into 2017, a fact that the Biden Administration has yet to acknowledge or admit. The now-president's son has had a long history of using his father's influence to enrich himself, including real estate transactions, oil and gas consultant contracts, and even the effort to sell an American company that made technology for the US Joint Strike Fighter Program, to a Chinese defense company.

Biden Crosses the Rubicon. Even the venerable Abraham Lincoln, in a presidency dragged down by the secession of half his domain, chose to separate the causes of the Confederacy from the character of the people settled upon it. In that one and only American Civil War, Lincoln became the Great Unifier when the loss of 360,000 Union soldiers might easily have justified a heavy-handed approach to everyone south of the Mason-Dixon line. More Orwellian than Lincolnian, Joe Biden has plotted a more calamitous course for his administration. Aligning with progressive politicos who juxtapose January 6, the Civil War, September 11, and Pearl Harbor in a single talking point, Biden has now taken authoritarianism to excess, putting his political fate in the hands of woke boardrooms, big tech, and a doting media while forming an ideological front against the will of his own people, either by his own volition, or on behalf of his all-knowing, face-on teleprompter. Last week's Morehouse University sales pitch for voting rights calling for the abolition of the filibuster rule was demagogic on its face and declared an intifada on Republicans.

Nobody insisted on "easily." Or "quickly." Just some sanity would be good.
'No Apologies': Biden Says There Was 'No Way' To Withdraw From Afghanistan Easily. President Joe Biden stated Wednesday that there was no way for the U.S. military to withdraw from Afghanistan easily, an apparent contradiction to what he told Americans to expect ahead of the withdrawal. Biden's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan remains among the lowest points of his first year in office, leading to the deaths of more than a dozen U.S. service members and abandoning more than 100 U.S. citizens under Taliban control alongside tens of thousands of Afghan allies. Prior to the withdrawal, Biden told Americans the operation would be safe and orderly, but he told reporters during his Wednesday press briefing at the White House that his true belief was that it was never going to be easy. "There was no way to get out of Afghanistan after 20 years easily — not possible, no matter when you did it," Biden said.

A Scandal For Every Month: Joe Biden's First 12 Months In Office. On his first day in office, President Joe Biden signed a list of radically left-wing executive orders, including an order requiring that schools must ignore the biological differences between male and female students from the athletic field to the bathroom if they wish to continue receiving federal funding. In Biden's first week, Press Secretary Jen Psaki also signaled the administration's plans to reinstate federal funding for abortions around the world with the reversal of the Mexico City policy, and the new president canceled the Keystone XL pipeline. As Tristan Justice reported at the time, "Biden's first 48 hours in office have launched the new administration with 17 executive orders, more than were issued in the first month of their presidencies by Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton combined."

Psaki Says Biden Stands By 'Powerful Speech' Comparing Republicans to Segregationists: 'Not a Partisan Speech'. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday [1/18/2022] that President Biden stands by the speech he delivered in Atlanta last week comparing opponents of Democrats' voting bills to racists and segregationists, arguing that it "wasn't a partisan speech." Psaki claimed Biden delivered a "powerful speech" about Americans' right to vote "for anyone they choose, whether it is him or someone else." "It was not a partisan speech," she said. "It was intended to lay out for the public exactly what's at stake and lay out for elected officials what's at stake and he stands by everything he said in that speech."

Biden's Attack On Voting Rights Far Surpasses Trump's Election Claims. Democrats and the leftist media continue to champion the House's sham investigation into the events of January 6, 2021, with news breaking just yesterday that the illegally constituted committee had subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, and others. Yet, if these January 6 truthers genuinely believed that election-related rhetoric caused the capitol riots and represent a real threat to our republic, they would turn their attention to the current White House and to their own Grand Poohbah. In one week alone, President Biden eclipsed everything Donald Trump and his supporters said about the validity of the 2020 election. By framing his false claims of "voter suppression" and "election subversion" as Jim Crow 2.0, our commander in chief has guaranteed a divided America. The only remaining question is whether he has also guaranteed a violent America.

Democrats Bemoan Biden Failures. Joe Biden resides in the White House because the Democratic Party's warring factions declared a temporary truce in 2020, each expecting to dictate his agenda after the election. And, while the party's left wing has exercised considerable sway over Biden's policies, its members obviously overestimated their ability to ameliorate the effects of his congenital incompetence. After a year in office the Biden administration has produced precious few successes and a predictably long list of failures. This has reopened hostilities between the radical and moderate wings of the Democratic Party, and their base is deeply demoralized as the November midterms loom ominously on the horizon.

Joe Biden spent a quarter of his first year as president in Delaware. President Biden spent 28 percent of his first year as commander in chief back home in Delaware, worrying transparency advocates who note that he exempted his homes from visitor log disclosure. Biden, who returns to the White House on Monday night [1/17/2022] from his house in Wilmington, simply likes being home, his press representatives say. But critics are concerned about who may be seeking to influence public policy while paying Biden or his family a visit. "Generally speaking, the American people have a right to know what the president is up to. This president specifically changed policy to presumably disclose who's been visiting the White House," said Tom Fitton, president of conservative legal group Judicial Watch, which has for years battled for White House visitor log transparency.

Don't hate Joe for his senility; hate "doctor" Jill and his other handlers for their elder abuse. [Scroll down] The question is not why Biden reads this hateful nonsense off the teleprompter that he gets propped in front of — or rather misreads in his stumbling, incoherent fashion. That question was answered long ago. It's because he's always been stupid, shallow and eager to pander to an audience, and now he's demented to boot. The question is, who writes this angry, self-important, sophomoric pablum? I have two theories, one general and one specific. The general theory is that it's written by his handlers. [...] Speculation abounds that Biden is largely controlled by some combination of Russians and Chinese who have Kompromat from Hunter's laptops and lap, Biden's intellectual superiors — a large group starting with Barack Obama — and the hard left such as the teachers unions to whom he owes favors and who play on Biden's vainglorious image of himself as Franklin Roosevelt. Those are the people willing to further their own selfish or foreign or sometimes traitorous agenda by making a fool of this formerly stupid and currently senile old man. These are not good people.

Psaki invokes Biden's dead wife, child while dodging question about Delaware visitor logs. White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday [1/18/2022] invoked President Biden's dead wife and child in an unusual move to sidestep questions about why the administration won't release visitor logs from the president's Delaware residences. "Well, the president goes to Delaware because it's his home. It's also where his son and former wife are buried and it's a place that is close to his heart," Ms. Psaki said during the daily press briefing. "A lot of presidents go visit their home when they are president." [...] The connection between Mr. Biden's deceased family members and the White House refusing to release visitor logs for his homes in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach is unclear. Mr. Biden has spent more than 28% of his presidency in Delaware, according to data compiled by Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog group. Despite having pledged to build the most transparent administration in history, Mr. Biden has balked at releasing the visitor logs to his Delaware homes.

How to Counter Biden's National Security Incompetence in 2022. From his disastrous withdrawal of U.S troops from Afghanistan, lack of coherent policies to deal with Russia and China, a stubborn determination to appease Iran to revive the deeply flawed 2015 nuclear deal, and an obsession with climate change as a national security issue, Biden in just one year severely undermined America's global reputation as a strong and principled nation. Making this worse is a global perception that Joe Biden is not mentally competent to be the U.S. commander in chief. America's enemies have been watching this unprecedented deterioration of American global leadership and are preparing to cash in. This could include in 2022 China attacking Taiwan, Russia invading Ukraine, and increased provocations by Iran and North Korea, including possible nuclear tests by both nations. There is also the threat to the United States directly by criminal and national security threats resulting from Biden's failure to secure our southern border.

Biden's Latest Rousing Speech: 'Uh, Uh, You Know, Ugh'. In the course of a speech about the omicron variant Thursday, Old Joe Biden gave us yet another shining example of his razor-sharp mental acuity. "Now, I don't like to, uh, uh, you know, ugh, outline the next steps we're taking against, uh, I'd, I'd like to outline the next steps we're taking against ova — uh, the omicron variant." The spectacle of an aged man trying desperately to maintain his train of thought amid encroaching dementia would have been sad if it had been anyone other than this corrupt old kleptocrat, who is pretending to be president of the United States. But it did render all the more urgent the inevitable question: how long is this going to go on?

An advanced lesson in political invective:
Joe Biden: Deep State Puppet. Animals somehow know when an earthquake is coming, even before the ground begins to tremble. The far-left activist Stacey Abrams [...] had the good sense to know that Joe Biden on "voting rights" and the run-up to Martin Luther King Day was likely to be a redolent affair. In the event, it was much worse than she, or anyone else for that matter, could have foreseen. Powerline's Paul Mirengoff called it the "the worst presidential speech in modern history." But Paul is a generous man. There was really no need for that qualifying "modern." Paul mentions Jimmy Carter's disastrous "malaise speech" of 1979 as a contender for the palm. That speech was indeed horrible. It was one of the things that lost Carter the election the next year. But Biden's speech was far worse. Carter's speech was a bizarre combination of cramped, hectoring moralism, much of it lifted from Christopher Lasch, and a repellent, cardigan-clad sentimentality and faux folksiness. Carter's speech, however, was not mendacious. It was simply wrong. Biden's, on the contrary, was a veritable tissue of incontinent hyperbole, partisan posturing, and outright lies.

Biden's a dud man walking. According to the election calendar, Joe Biden has three years remaining in his term. According to political reality, his presidency is over, kaput, finished. It ended last week because of an accumulation of serious wounds, most of them self-inflicted. The final blow came from a boomerang after the president who campaigned as a decent man and uniter declared his opponents traitors and racists. Included in that category were Democrats as well as Republicans, leading even members of his own party to concede Biden had gone too far. The scene was Atlanta where he gave a speech filled with distortions and extremely nasty attacks, as when the president challenged those who refuse to break the Senate filibuster to pass federal election legislation: "Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?" He accused Georgia and other states of aiming to "subvert" elections and said they were acting like "totalitarian states."

Biden's Rhetoric Echoes the Fact That His Presidency Is Unraveling. Just when you think Uncle Joe Biden can't fall any deeper into his own yogurt, he does. His so-called 'election takeover' speech is yet another example. Here's a bit: "I will not yield, I will not flinch, I will defend the right to vote, our democracy, against all enemies — foreign and, yes, domestic. ... Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?" I'd say that's pretty grotesque. And for a guy who ran as a "unifier" that typifies the uber divisiveness that has characterized Joe Biden's presidency. If you disagree with me, you're a racist, white supremacist, evil, bad person. That's what he said. As usual, Mr. Biden can't even get his facts right.

Joe Biden learns the hard way about the wisdom of declaring his fellow Democrats racists. For a political hack supposedly steeped in the ways of politics dating from the days of the Partridge Family, Joe Biden sure hasn't learned much. [...] Joe's been incompetent in office since virtually the first day of his presidency. This letter outlining Biden's incompetence on COVID tests is just one little festering thing in his presidency. Biden's also been flamingly incompetent on the open border, the recrudescence of inflation, the Afghanistan pullout, the supply chain breakdown, and his many foreign policy failures on Iran, China, and Russia. Nobody wrote a letter blasting Biden for those monster blunders. But now that Biden's taken to insulting his party's allies, and inadvertently suggesting that his party is full of racists, (which if he believed it, he should resign over) now the criticisms are coming. It's been a long time coming.

CBS/YouGov Poll Sweeps the Legs out From Under Biden. The poll found that a huge majority of Americans believed he wasn't sufficiently focused on the economy (58 percent) and inflation (65 percent). Only 38 percent approved of his handling of the economy, while a whopping 62 percent disapproved. It's even worse when it comes to inflation — 30 percent approval, 70 percent disapproval. He's about to dip into the twenties on the approval of his handling of inflation. If he thinks their opinion is going to go up if he was able to raise the Build Back Better bill back up from the dead, the answer is no, it wouldn't.

The moment Joe Biden finally lost his credibility. If President Joe Biden's disorderly and lethal Afghanistan withdrawal was the moment that fractured voters' regard for him, then his vicious Atlanta speech last week may be the moment that defines his presidency. Speaking Tuesday at Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University, Biden uttered venomous, brutal accusations lacking factual basis. His shouting-in-the-wind delivery was inexplicable, and his decision to lash out at members of his own party — Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema — appears to have only strengthened their resolve not to give in to his demands. Biden called those who disagree with his political views on legislation "domestic enemies." He compared them to Confederate President Jefferson Davis and former Alabama Democratic Party Committeeman and ardent, violent segregationist Bull Connor. In American politics, that is about as divisive as one can get — at least he didn't mention Hitler.

Biden to Hold First Formal Press Conference Since Last March As His Agenda Flops. President Joe Biden will be in the hot seat next Wednesday during his first official press conference since March 2021, as Americans are demanding answers on numerous policy fronts. "[W]e look forward to seeing you there and to — the President looks forward to speaking directly to the American people," Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Friday. While Biden sometimes takes questions from journalists, he typically walks off the stage in hopes to avoid any scrutiny from the media.

The Editor says...
Unless I'm mistaken, the President^* will only answer pre-arranged softball questions from pre-selected reporters. Such an event is hardly worth watching. When it's over, a dozen columnists will tell us how confused he seemed, and how he couldn't remember which way to go when he was finished speaking.

A taste of Southern lied in Georgia y'all. Joe Biden's angry speech in the Peach State on Tuesday about so-called "voting rights" was stupid, divisive and full of lies, and it also exposed his impotence. Inflation has hit a 40-year high, store shelves are empty, COVID numbers are at record levels with tests in scarce supply, violent crime is surging in blue cities and millions of illegal immigrants are still pouring over the southern border. But all this flailing president can do in the face of cascading, mainly self-inflicted, crises is to gin up a fake political controversy to distract the peasants he imagines are out there hanging on his every word. The man elected to unite the country coughed, shouted, lied, said "y'all," and railed obsessively against Donald Trump. "I'm tired of being quiet!" he yelled. All he has left is to demonize as "domestic enemies" millions of Americans who oppose the Democrats' cynical plan to federalize elections, ban voter ID, legalize ballot harvesting and ensure they never lose another election.

Biden Didn't Mean To Offend Senators By Likening Them To Racists, Psaki Says. White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed Friday that President Biden didn't intend to offend senators by likening them to George Wallace, Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis — but simply meant to compare their actions to those of the infamous white supremacists. Psaki was pressed at her regular briefing about Biden's fiery rhetoric at a Tuesday speech in Atlanta, which unsuccessfully sought to convince Democratic senators to set aside the 60-vote legislative filibuster and pass election reforms with a bare majority. "He is talking about Republicans that don't agree with voting rights [bills] — he's describing them as George Wallace, Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis," said Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy.

Never Trumpers Get Savaged by Americans After They Show Biden Remorse. Joe Biden is getting justifiably beaten up by people for his disgusting speech in Atlanta comparing Republicans and frankly anyone who disagreed with his position on trying to federalize elections to racists. Biden — who has previously been strongly against tossing aside the filibuster — said he was willing to do anything, including throwing away all principles, to get his way. "To protect our democracy, I support changing the Senate rules, whichever way they need to be changed, to prevent a minority of senators from blocking action on voting rights," Biden ranted. "The next few days, when these bills come to a vote, will mark a turning point in this nation's history.... Will we choose democracy over autocracy, light over shadows, justice over injustice? I know where I stand." Biden continued, "Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?" Now, those are all Democrats, we hasten to add. But to compare wanting voter integrity bills to racists and segregationists is vile.

Joe Biden's Brain Shuts Down Multiple Times During 'Presser' Where He Takes No Questions. Joe Biden got into a running gun battle with the teleprompter again today [1/13/2022] while giving public remarks on... well, on something. The president was ostensibly there to announce the "deployment" of military medical teams to states that are seeing healthcare worker shortages. Not surprisingly, all the states he's sending aid to — except one (Ohio) — are Democrat-led states that have pushed vaccine mandates. It's almost like there's a connection there, but I digress because it was really Biden's physical and mental performance that stole the show, not so much anything he specifically said.

The View from the Cheat Seats. For Joe Biden, the Atlanta speech checked all the boxes: a handful of out-of-context Bible verses (check), wild historical inaccuracies (check), gratuitous references to Jan. 6 (check), the abandonment of another decades-long political view (check), and a general shaming of any American who thinks consensus and honesty ought to be part of our governing structure. Twelve months into this White House, the president's rambling attack on democracy was the move of a desperate man at the head of a desperate party. It was also, as Rich Lowry put it succinctly, garbage. Let's set aside for a minute that the Democrats' idea of subverting the Senate — and later, our entire election process — is a long shot. As Politico points out, it's not just Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) who are worried about letting a simple majority make all of the decisions anymore, but also a handful of other Democrats who wonder if blowing up their own institution just might come back to haunt them.

Washington Post awards Biden 'Four Pinocchios' for false claim he was 'arrested' during civil rights protest. The Washington Post awarded President Biden its harshest fact-check rating of "Four Pinocchios" over his false claim this week that he was "arrested" for the first time as a teenager while attending a civil rights protest in Delaware. In a Thursday [1/13/2022] piece headlined, "Biden claims yet another arrest for which there's little evidence," Glenn Kessler, The Post's resident fact-checker, wrote that Biden was "not always a reliable source" when it came to his "exaggerated" stories, and that too many elements of his claim didn't add up. "I did not walk in the shoes of generations of students who walked these grounds. But I walked other grounds. Because I'm so [...] old, I was there as well. You think I'm kidding, man. It seems like yesterday the first time I got arrested," Biden told the crowd at his Tuesday speech at Morehouse College in Atlanta.

Biden Is Out Of Touch With Reality On Inflation. hese days, when President Joe Biden isn't lying about being arrested during the Civil Rights struggles of the 1960s, he's telling equally large fibs about "making progress" on inflation and the economy. Truth is, in the space of less than a year, he's turned a recovering economy into dross. Thursday brought yet more disastrous news about the "transitory" upsurge in inflation the media shills and Biden administration economic advisers talk about. After Wednesday's consumer price data showed a 7% rise in consumer prices for 2021, the highest since 1982, came worse news for producer prices: They rose a record 9.7% last year, as supply-chain issues and a massive burst of money printing by the Fed created a classic case of too much money chasing too few goods. Yet, in a statement Wednesday, Biden claimed "we are making progress in slowing the rate of price increases."

Senate panel approves LA mayor after attending Hunter Biden art show. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti won approval from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday [1/12/2022] to be President Biden's ambassador to India — months after Garcetti controversially attended first son Hunter Biden's Hollywood art show. The Garcetti pick was voted out of committee along with a larger batch of nominees and now goes before the full Senate. Biden nominated Garcetti, 50, in July. He drew negative headlines in October after promoting the novice art career of Biden's son, which ethics experts have slammed as a possible vehicle for influence-peddling.

Democrat Desperation Has Now Become Dangerous. President Biden's "voting rights" speech in Atlanta has been widely criticized for dishonesty and demagoguery, but its real significance involves what it told us about the increasing panic that pervades the Democratic Party. Biden's sudden pivot from the Build Back Better Act (BBB) to "election reform" betrays a very real fear that his party will lose its tiny majorities in Congress unless they seize control of our national elections. For well over two centuries the states have played the primary role in the administration of congressional elections. Yet Biden and the Democrats now insist that this time-tested system somehow constitutes a threat to democracy itself. This is self-evidently false, considering that it is the same system that gave the Democrats their small but all-too-real majorities in the House and the Senate.

Biden Claims He Got Arrested During the Civil Rights Movement. Who knew that the man who pretends to be president of the United States had such an arrest record? Old Joe Biden has claimed that he was once arrested in South Africa while trying to visit Nelson Mandela, and on Tuesday, Biden revealed for the first time ever that he had been arrested during the civil rights movement. The way Joe is going, pretty soon he will have kidnapped the Lindbergh baby.

Brandon Biden Tells Us Who He Really Is in Train Wreck of a Speech in Georgia. As expected, President Biden and Vice President Harris visited the state of Georgia earlier today where a sometimes confused Biden gave a scripted, angry speech in which he did a complete 180 on his previous remarks from his decades as a Senator about preserving the filibuster, endorsing making whatever changes necessary to the Senate rules in order to, as he said it, "prevent a minority of Senators from blocking action on voting rights."

President Biden insists food and gas prices are going down compared to last month. President Joe Biden has attempted to play down to a new annual inflation reading of 7 percent, the highest level in 40 years, by branding it a 'global' issue that his administration is making 'progress' with. Persistent supply chain issues have left grocery shelves bare across the nation this week, drawing comparisons to conditions in the former Soviet Union and putting further upward pressure on prices. The Labor Department said Wednesday that the consumer price index rose 0.5 percent last month after surging 0.8 percent in November, with Biden apparently trying to highlight that slowing rate of growth as an achievement.

Fact-Checking 6 Claims From Biden's Voting Rights Speech. President Joe Biden made a plea Tuesday in Atlanta for Senate passage of two bills designed to expand the federal government's role in state and local election laws, looking for another legislative success — after passage of an infrastructure bill — as he approaches one year in office. Biden and fellow Democrats have sought to frame the bills as "voting rights" legislation. However, speaking Tuesday afternoon [1/11/2022] at the Atlanta University Center Consortium on the grounds of Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University, Biden made several claims that seemed at best to lack context, and in other cases seemed hyperbolic or untrue.

Biden calls Capitol riot 'coup' in Ga. speech, claims he was arrested in civil rights protest. President Biden on Tuesday [1/11/2022] branded the Capitol riot a "coup" attempt and called on the Senate to scrap its usual 60-vote threshold to pass a pair of election reform bills — but his message was clouded by distracting gaffes. Biden's sharpened attack on former President Donald Trump and his supporters was bracketed by Biden once again referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as "President Harris" and by his assertion that he was arrested multiple times while fighting for civil rights.

What Makes Riots, Conspiracies, Cabals, and Insurrections 'Good' or 'Bad'? If the Republicans take the House or perhaps even the Senate, what new norms will they inherit from the Democratic majority of 2019-2021? [...] Will Republicans claim as reason to impeach Joe Biden that he failed to execute the laws as he swore to, by nullifying U.S immigration law? Was he not also guilty of an "abuse of power" and "obstructing Congress," as he allowed 2 million aliens unlawfully to cross the southern border, during a pandemic without either testing or vaccinations, helping to spread the disease with reckless disregard? Will the new Congress subpoena generals to investigate the surrender and flight from Afghanistan, and especially who ordered it and why?

Media ignored the lies in Biden's January 6 anniversary speech. The unhinged and irascible manner in which President Biden delivered his viciously partisan speech on the anniversary of January 6 was unprecedented. So, too, was the media's complicity in covering up his misrepresentations. When matters devolve to this level of absurdity, the reactions are usually driven by emotions, precluding the possibility of any dispassionate scrutiny. Predictably, the mainstream news media praised the speech with a devotion almost as if it were the word of God. Most of the right-leaning media and the Republicans excoriated Biden for his divisive rhetoric. Few fact-checked the contents of the speech.

Nets Ignore Hunter Biden's 'Close Friend' Being Charged With Treason. A "close friend" of President Joe Biden's son Hunter was charged with treason in Kazakhstan according to a report in the Washington Examiner. Despite this revelation, all three evening news broadcasts ignored the report, while One America News was the only cable television network to report on the incident at the time of publication. Karim Massimov, who Hunter Biden once referred to as his "close friend" in a 2016 email, is a former Kazakhstan intelligence chief, and former chairman of the Kazakhstan National Security Committee before being fired and tried for treason during violent protests caused by a spike in gas prices in the region. Massimov had a close business relationship with Hunter while serving on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. During this time Massimov was serving as Prime Minister of Kazakhstan. During his stint as Prime Minister, Massimov met with Hunter to work on an energy deal for Burisma. What makes this story even more worthy of network coverage is the fact that Joe Biden has been pictured with Massimov and Hunter while he was vice president.

The Sinking Ship of the Democratic-Media Alliance. The Democrats, along with America and the world, are now stuck with the most incompetent administration in the country's history. Biden clearly lacks the mental energy required of such a challenging position, and Kamala Harris seems simply to be a moron. None of their policies attract majority support from the country and their great COVID ally of 2020 is now an albatross around their necks. Inflation is eating the incomes of the middle- and working-classes, the southern U.S. border is open not only to millions of destitute people but to a large number of serious undesirables who are flooding in. China, Russia, Iran, are all exploiting American weakness and the departure from Afghanistan was the greatest military fiasco in U.S. history.

The Hunter Connection? Kazakh Security Chief Arrested For Treason Was "Close Friends" With [the] Bidens. Among the boldest and eye-brow raising political moves by embattled Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev within the past days that grabbed international headlines was his ordering the arrest of Kazakhstan's powerful former intelligence chief, Karim Massimov, on the charge of high treason. Indicating that amid widespread fuel price unrest which quickly became aimed squarely at toppling Tokayav's rule there's a simultaneous power struggle within the government, Massimov had headed the National Security Committee (KNB) up until his Thursday sudden removal and detention. Massimov had served as the prior longtime strongman ruler Nursultan Nazarbayev's prime minister and has long been considered his "right hand man". Shortly after, a photo has resurfaced, currently subject of widespread speculation which shows Joe Biden and Hunter Biden posing with the now detained Kazakh security chief Karim Massimov, along with well-connected oligarch Kenes Rakishev.

Joe Biden's Potemkin presidency. [Scroll down] Beyond fixating on the former president, Biden also made a point of insulting all of Trump's supporters. The unifier-in-chief had no qualms about depicting the 74 million Americans who voted for Trump in 2020 as akin to the deranged rioters who breached the Capitol. "Instead of looking at election results from 2020 and saying they need new ideas or better ideas to win more votes, the former president and his supporters have decided the only way for them to win is to suppress your vote and subvert our elections," he said. This may come as a shock to Joe Biden, but Trump's 74 million supporters weren't all present at the Capitol on what the media dweebs are calling "J6." Biden is implying that all of the law-abiding Americans who supported Trump in 2020 are trying to "subvert elections." Why not just call all Republicans "armed insurrectionists" from here on out? The man who ran on empathy and healing has proven to be an expert on scapegoating, dividing and vilifying scores of millions of Americans.

Biden's 'Fundamentally New Approach' to the Economy — Inflation. A rare economic declaration from our president, Joe Biden, is herewith recorded: "For too long Republicans have thrown around terms like pro-growth and supply-side economics to drive an economic agenda that didn't deliver enough growth and supplied more wealth to those who already were very well off. From day one, my economic agenda has been different. It's been about taking a fundamentally new approach to our economy." That's right, Mr. President. We have a brand new approach to our economy. You have generated the first serious bout of inflation in four decades. Nice going. This could not have been easy. The Federal Reserve has been trying to get inflation above its two percent target for years and years. You did it in just nine months. Nice going, Sir.

So-called moderate Biden cozies up to leftist Dem flank. After Joe Biden was elected president, I had a conversation with a Wall Street banker friend who is deeply involved in Democratic politics. He could see I was worried. [...] Yes, Biden had a record as a moderate and for working with Republicans. But he was, let's say, not the guy he was even when he was Obama's veep. He was weak and the left was ascendant in Democrats' policymaking. Won't crazies like AOC and Bernie Sanders have a big say in how to run things, I asked. His answer was assuring, at least for a few weeks. He said the smart guys would be in charge — people who knew how to get things done, particularly on the economy. [...] Painfully, this is not what happened. The Biden White House in policy and appointments is one that AOC would love more than Bill Clinton. Barack Obama would appear to be too moderate for the apparatchiks who are being put in place, day after day, to maneuver a $25 trillion economy around inflation, COVID and who-knows-what's coming our way.

Biden [has] Held Fewer Pressers [and] Interviews Than [the] Last 5 Presidents: Report. Nearing his first full year in office, President Biden has conducted fewer news conferences than any of his five immediate predecessors at the same point in their time in the White House and has given fewer media interviews than six of them did, according to a story on Sunday [1/9/2022]. The president has done 22 interviews with the media and held nine formal news conferences — six solo and three with visiting foreign leaders — an analysis by Martha Joynt Kumar, a professor at Town University and director of the White House Transition Project, found, the Associated Press reported. Former President Ronald Reagan held fewer press conferences than Biden but events in his first year in office were scaled back after he was shot and wounded during an assassination attempt by John Hinckley Jr. in March 1981 — just two months after he was sworn in.

House Speaker Pelosi invites President Biden to deliver his first State of the Union on March 1. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has invited President Biden to on March 1 deliver his first official State of the Union address to a Joint Session of Congress. In a letter to the president, the speaker wrote, "Indeed, this past year has been historic: with the life-saving American Rescue Plan, once-in-a-century Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and, soon, the truly transformational Build Back Better Act! In that spirit, I am writing to invite you to address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, March 1, to share your vision of the State of the Union." Biden has not yet formally accepted the invitation.

Joe Biden's most disgusting, dishonest speech. If you like dishonesty, and dollop after dollop of general disgustingness, Joe Biden had the speech for you. Here he was for his big Jan. 6 moment in front of Congress, denouncing his predecessor, President Trump, defending voter fraud, demanding more of it, and calling it "democracy." His speech was ultimately an argument for his own right to power, by fair means or foul. [Video clips, tweets] Several things stick out, and none of them is pleasant. One, he clearly hired a political consultant to profile which words would upset President Trump most, because he wanted to stick the knife in himself. "Failure," "didn't win," "lost," all spoken with shouting-level emphasis, figured prominently, just as any good political profiler might recommend. Those words were chosen carefully. Well, now we know what his real aim was in that speech: to annoy President Trump and insult his voters, not "defend democracy" as he tried to market to the public. When have we ever had a president of this kind of crumminess?

Biden's War on the Unvaccinated Is Un-American. Political leaders from both parties share responsibility for our current predicament. We may disagree on who or which side is to blame for more or less of it, but we should all agree that our political leaders have failed us miserably. For the sake of this column, I want to concentrate on President Joe Biden. I'm concerned that the president is slipping into a rhythm of pitting one group of Americans against another, something he vowed not to do as a candidate. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, it's the president's relentless juxtaposition of the unvaccinated against the vaccinated. While I appreciate that the president's first responsibility is to keep Americans safe, I think that this may be accomplished without further dividing our society.

Wrong, Joe: You Are A Bigger Threat To Democracy Than January 6th. I did not tune in for a nanosecond to the predictably boring, empty, wrong, and hyperventilating media coverage of the first anniversary of January 6th. [...] I was right and wrong about the speech. As if the aforementioned gaslighting of the event weren't bad enough, this is the line CNN proclaimed to be the most important of the entire speech: "You can't love your country only when you win." For Brandon to pretend he loves this country is an affront to truth and common sense. He absolutely hates this country and he certainly hates people like me in it. From his first day in office he labeled me a white supremacist and during the massive psy-op stemming from George Floyd's death told me I had my "knee of injustice on the neck of black America." And I am constantly chided like a child as he expresses his constant disdain for my decision to resist vaccination. How about: I love my country and hate to see what you're doing to it? More generally speaking, it is impossible to think anyone on the political left and in the Democrat Party loves this country. It seems pretty obvious they hate it. Do you dismantle everything out of love? Do you burn down and ransack out of compassion? Do you imprison political opponents or label regular parents domestic terrorists out of heartfelt unity? What has Brandon done that shows love of country?

Fear is the Mind Killer. Witness the fearfulness engulfing Americans:
• Fear of the virus.
• Fear of being called a racist.
• Fear of being cancelled.
• Fear of the other.
• Fear of defending beliefs.
• Fear of our history.
• Fear of not being woke.
• Fear even of saying the truth.
Fear works. [...] Our Fearful Leader bangs his drum of fear incessantly, hammering a dent into our sense of free ill. Nine days before Christmas, the President told us, "I want to send a direct message to the American people.... We are looking at a winter of severe illness and death for the unvaccinated — for themselves, their families and the hospitals they'll soon overwhelm."  Prepare for your winter of death, he advises. Never in American history has a president openly told Americans to be afraid: death is coming for you. Quite the opposite is the norm.

Biden [is] Mercilessly Mocked Over Goofy 'Fake Oval Office' and 'Playskool Desk'. What if Donald Trump as president would have given fake Oval Office speeches from a TV studio across the street from the White House? What would have been the reaction on CNN and MSNBC? From the Washington Post and The New York Times? And the geniuses of "The View"? Even worse, what would have been the reaction from "all of the above" if Trump's fake windows showed a different fake Rose Garden scene during virtually every fake video? Let alone what would have been the reaction of really crazy Trump-loathing left-wing clickbait media? All rhetorical questions, of course. [...] Yet Joe Biden sits behind a fake rinky-dink desk in a fake office with fake "scenery" seen through his fake window, in what is nothing more than a desperate attempt by desperate handlers to keep the inept guy out of the White House and public view whenever possible. Why? A desperate attempt to shelter the inept president of the United States from interactions, questions, live public presentations, and even more speculation about his rapidly declining mental acuity.

Devastating Polling Provides a Window Into Why Democrats Are Trying to Change the 2022 Election Rules. Joe Biden has been widely unpopular for many months now, with his average approval hovering in the low 40s since the late summer. Yet, for a long time, Democrats have had one issue to hang their hat on. That would be the COVID-19 pandemic. While the president's ratings have long been terrible on the economy, immigration, and foreign policy (largely driven by his horrific evacuation from Afghanistan), he has mostly stayed above water in regards to his handling of the coronavirus. Given his less-than-stellar results, you're probably asking yourself why that's the case. The answer is because far too many people are naive and see doing "something" as better than doing "nothing" — even if that "something" is doing more harm than good.

Psaki: Biden has no 'time to think' despite frequent trips home. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday [1/5/2022] that President Biden thinks he needs more downtime — despite the fact that he's spent more than a quarter of his days in office at one of his Delaware homes. "I know the president doesn't have public events today," Psaki told reporters during her regular briefing. "He does have a number of meetings with policy teams and that's often what he's doing behind the scenes." "If he were standing here today — which I know he's always invited, is what you guys will say, but he would say we never give him any free time or any time to think," the press secretary added. "And that is probably true." Biden, 79, is the oldest person to be president and returned Monday to the White House from his home in Wilmington, Del., where he routinely spends weekends. He took no reporter questions on Monday or Tuesday amid record-high COVID-19 cases caused by the more contagious Omicron variant.

Joe Biden's Top 25 Worst Moments of 2021. [#7] Joe Biden Describes Dr. Anthony Fauci as the President: In December, President Biden joked that Dr. Fauci was the actual president, alluding to his complete surrender to Fauci's advice when it came to the pandemic. I've seen more of Dr. Fauci than my wife," Biden said with a chuckle. "We kid each other, but they look — who's President? Fauci. But all kidding aside, I sincerely mean it." Despite his jocular approach, Biden did cede his leadership on the pandemic to Dr. Fauci. "[Y]ou're going to hear a lot more from Dr. Fauci again," Biden said on January 21 after taking office. "Not from the president, but from the real genuine experts and scientists." Biden struggled throughout his first year as president to demonstrate leadership on the pandemic, repeating to Americans that if they trusted "science" and "scientists" and federal health officials he could end the pandemic.

Biden: I Have the 'Strongest First-Year Economic Track Record' of Any Recent President. President Joe Biden declared on Wednesday that despite record inflation and a record trade deficit, he has the "strongest first-year economic track record of any president in the last 50 years." "We're ending 2021 with what one analyst described as the strongest first-year economic track record of any president in the last 50 years," the president tweeted, adding, "Let's keep the progress going".

One third of Americans still believe Biden's election win was illegitimate. One-third of Americans think more than a year after the 2020 election that Joe Biden did not legitimately win against Donald Trump, a new poll found. The University of Massachusetts Amherst poll, taken December 14-20, shows 33 percent of the 1,000 respondents either definitely or probably think President Biden's win was illegitimate. Forty-six percent think his win was definitely legitimate, another 12 percent think it was probably legitimate and 9 percent are unsure.

With Build Back Better stalled, the Left pushes Biden to act alone. With the Build Back Better Act wounded, perhaps fatally, by the public defection of West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, liberals are calling on President Joe Biden to go solo in fulfilling his agenda. But those calls are meeting resistance from opponents who say they're bad policy at best and illegal at worst. Seattle-based Rep. Pramila Jayapal, leader of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, penned an op-ed in the Washington Post calling on Biden to enact portions of his Build Back Better plan via executive order. "We are calling on the president to use executive action to immediately improve people's lives," Jayapal wrote, adding she'd keep working to push the legislation in Congress.

Biden is delusional.
Biden Says 2021 Was 'Strongest First-Year Economic Track Record' in 50 Years. President Biden touted his economic record from his home in Delaware this week; claiming "one analyst" described 2021 as the "strongest first year economic track record" in the last half century. "We're ending 2021 with what one analyst described as the strongest first-year economic track record of any president in the last 50 years. Let's keep the progress going," claimed the President.

The Editor says...
Apparently the "one analyst" has no name. Or perhaps he doesn't exist.

Biden slammed for citing 'one analyst' in tweet touting the economy. Critics blasted President Biden on Wednesday after he posted a tweet boasting about the state of the US economy and referencing "one analyst" who touted him as having the "strongest first-year economic track record" in half a century. "We're ending 2021 with what one analyst described as the strongest first-year economic track record of any president in the last 50 years," read the message from the @POTUS account. "Let's keep the progress going." Biden did not name the analyst, causing many to question the president's sourcing after a year marred by soaring inflation, an ongoing supply chain crisis and the coronavirus pandemic.

A year of Biden's foreign policy failures. President Joe Biden's inaugural address pledged to "repair our alliances and engage with the world once again." The United States, Biden proclaimed, would "be a strong and trusted partner for peace, progress, and security." This has not happened. Instead, Biden's foreign policy has oscillated between chaos and weakness. The Afghanistan debacle looms largest here. In March, Biden said that when it came to withdrawing U.S. military forces, "We're going to do so in a safe and orderly way." He explained, "We're in consultation ... with our allies and partners in how to proceed." That did not happen. Instead, Biden insisted, against military advice and basic logic, on withdrawing all U.S. forces from Afghanistan.

Joe Biden Backtracks and Telegraphs His Next Tyrannical Move. [Scroll down] Fauci didn't even attempt to couch his support for a vaccine requirement for domestic travel in any scientific evidence. Rather, he's just coming right out and admitting that it's about mindless coercion, serving not to reduce the spread of the virus, but simply to control people. And when Biden says his "medical team" is going to make this decision, he's talking about Fauci, who leads that team. There is simply no justification for this at all. Omicron is already in all 50 states and is spreading rapidly, with the country seeing its highest caseload of the pandemic yesterday. Limiting domestic travel to only the vaccinated is not only illegal and nakedly dictatorial, but it will do nothing to quell the spread of the virus. Besides, as has been shown over and over, airliners are actually extremely low-risk environments because of their constant filtration of the air. Yet, instead of being a leader, Biden is once again on vacation in Delaware, delegating the job he was ostensibly elected to do to a bunch of unelected bureaucrats.

Why are Joe and Jill wearing masks on the beach? Joe and Jill Biden have worn masks to walk their dog alone on a beach while on their Delaware vacation. The Bidens — who are booster vaccinated — covered their faces for no apparent reason as they took their German Shepherd puppy, Commander, for a walk along a deserted Rehoboth Beach on Tuesday evening [12/28/2021]. The President, 79, even continued to wear his mask after the First Lady, 70, took hers off.

Biden reverses course, declares COVID must be solved by states and not feds. President Joe Biden campaigned for months that a robust federal response could vanquish the COVID-19 pandemic, but he reversed course Monday by telling the nation's governors that states are likely to be more successfully tailoring solutions for their citizens. "There is no federal solution. This gets solved at the state level," Biden declared during a call with the National Governors Association. The president's response was a marked shift for America's 46th president, who campaigned last year that federal government under his direction could conquer the virus and who boasted just days ago that "federal emergency medical teams are ready to respond to surges nationwide." Biden's declaration in July that the pandemic had been defeated was premature, as the Delta and omicron variants felled the nation in two successive waves.

Jim Jordan Says Brandon Has "Done Everything Wrong". Jim Jordan, appearing on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures" program, had some harsh words for the Brandon Administration, which he said has "done everything wrong.["] Beginning his remarks, he warned that "Elizabeth Warren seems to be hinting at price controls." And what does that mean for the average American? As he put it, "And we know what that will do. That will only exacerbate the problems we see out there." That is, of course, the opposite of what the average American wants. As Jordan put it, "So, in simple words, I think the American people would like — they'd like safe streets, they'd like affordable gas, and they'd like freedom." But, again, that's not what we're getting from Team Brandon. "Instead," Jordan said, "what Biden's giving them is record crime, record inflation and Dr. Fauci."

Biden says 'there's no federal solution' to COVID after vowing to 'shut down the virus' last year. Speaking to governor's today about Covid, President Joe Biden claimed that "there is no federal solution" to delivering more wide-spread testing. It was last year that Biden vowed to "shut down the virus." "We got to beat it back before we shut it down. Look, it's going to take time worldwide. In order to be COVID, we have to shut it down worldwide," he said as he announced new federal measures to beat back the scourge. "Look, there is no federal solution," Biden said in response to a question from Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson. "This gets solved at the state level."

Sowing Winds and Reaping Whirlwinds. Joe Biden, first as a candidate and then in the White House, from the outset saw the COVID-19 pandemic mainly as a means of leveraging political support, from the manner in which the lockdowns allowed him to run a virtual campaign from his basement to equating Donald Trump with the COVID-19 virus. Like many on the Left, Biden was overt in such cynicism. [...] Panic and lockdowns could help achieve single-payer health care, or a recalibrated capitalism, or the end of Donald Trump himself. At the height of the last presidential campaign, Biden in September 2020 declared that Trump was responsible for the then-current 200,000 COVID deaths: "If the president had done his job, had done his job from the beginning, all the people would still be alive." Biden felt no need to list details where Trump had lethally erred or had not "done his job." He did not explain how any president should be able to prevent all deaths from a plague. And in 2020, Biden certainly had no expectation that before his own first year as president was over the cumulative deaths from the pandemic would exceed 800,000. He would have found it surreal to even imagine that soon there would be far more deaths under his own tenure than during Trump's presidency — despite being the beneficiary of ubiquitous vaccinations, new therapies, and antiviral drugs unavailable throughout most of 2020.

Joe Biden, Marionette. Assume for a moment Biden actually honestly does not know the story behind, the context surrounding, and the meaning of "Let's Go, Brandon." The first option, since he has heard it shouted at him before, is that it could mean he never thought to ask anyone about what crowds of people were yelling, what the signs emblazoned with the phrase meant. True, most politicians do not go out of their way to find out what their opponents are saying about them but to have no interest — or what would be negative interest in, in this case — in what is going on in the world outside your bubble is simply epic myopic malfeasance. [...] The second option is that no one has told him about it, another terrifying thought. If his staff is sycophantic to the point of keeping actual but difficult things from him, imagine what else they are not telling him about.

Six Political Predictions For 2022. [Scroll down] Joe Biden is an unmitigated disaster of a person, politician, and president. He epitomizes self-service and for fifty years has grifted off the stupid people in Delaware. [...] Joe Biden, in less than a year, has gone from being the most popular president ever by sheer votes cast to the butt of every joke and chant among a gathering of more than two people. [...] The only way Biden leaves the Oval Office is via a hearse. Other than Team Kamala, who benefits from his departure? Certainly not the Biden clan, led by Her Eminence Dr. Jill Biden. She ascended from babysitter to First Lady. There's no way she's stopping the gravy train now. And then there is the rest of the Establishment. Fifty years of back-room handshakes and tail chasing among both domestic and international partners has created quite a syndicate for Bidenites. Everyone with a corrupted soul wins by having the Big Guy nominally in charge. And, of course, Biden's handlers and the Deep State operatives don't even have to ask permission to do things. Having Joe at the helm is like leaving your 90-year-old narcoleptic grandfather to watch the kids.

Fake Unifier-In-Chief Ends First Year In Office The Same Way He Began. President Joe Biden is closing out his first year in office the same way he opened it: with a divisive message to two Americas under the guise of a crusade for unity because the messenger isn't Donald Trump. After Biden wrote off a large portion of the nation as white supremacists at his inauguration, he's writing off the unvaccinated as responsible for the pandemic. On Thursday [12/23/2021], the White House released a briefing with COVID response coordinator Jeff Zients thanking vaccinated Americans for having "done the right thing." "For the unvaccinated," the White House said, "you're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm." Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like a message to scapegoat the unvaccinated as responsible for all the nation's pandemic ills regardless of natural immunity, which 140 studies affirm is just as good, if not better than vaccine-given immunity.

With Malice Toward All. When it becomes necessary for a leader to relinquish trust in order to restore it, and devote himself to the duties of his office by not seeking another term in office, a leader honors the people. We have Joe Biden instead, who has malice toward one-third or more of the American people. To the unvaccinated, he forecasts a winter of severe illness and death. [...] Biden's message is the most ahistorical and antagonistic message of its kind, for it is without charity or kindness; and yet it is the most authentic message of its kind, for Biden has no charity or kindness for his fellow Americans. His message is also a tell, that he cannot tell time, because no president with a sense of decency — no Catholic with the conscience of a Christian — would deliver this message. No other president would offer nothing but fear and blood, or wear a mask while attempting to scare Americans to death.

More evidence that Biden has Covid:
Joe Biden Skips Church For Christmas; Attends Mass 'Virtually' From The White House. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden did not go to church on Christmas, choosing instead to view Mass virtually from the White House. The White House did not explain why the Bidens skipped Church for Christmas, as the president typically attends Catholic Mass regularly. Instead, the first couple watched Holy Trinity Catholic Church's Christmas Eve Mass "virtually" from the White House.

Here There Be Monsters. Prior to 2020 Joe Biden barely rose to "also ran" status in U.S. presidential elections. During his decades in public office his reputation became fixed as slow-witted, unprincipled, self-promoting, gaff-prone, and vindictive. While such characteristics may extend one's term in a corrupt edifice, they do not otherwise enhance one's appeal. Nonetheless, amid mountains of evidence of electoral fraud and skullduggery, we're told to believe that more Americans than ever voted for Biden. This despite his hiding out in a basement rather than campaigning, while garnering meager crowds on those rare occasions where he was present. We are assured by the dubious vote-counters that his opponent lost. An opponent who precipitated tens of thousands of enthusiastic supporters on the mere rumor of his appearing, achieved economic and political results that had for decades been called impossible by the political establishment, all in the face of unparalleled invective and resistance from the "mainstream" media and our federal bureaucracy. Bigfoot riding a unicorn was more credible. Various polls suggest a big Republican majority, most independents, and as much as a third of Democrats believe the 2020 election was fraudulent.

Democrats Prepare To Dump Joe Biden Now That He's Served His Purpose. When The New York Times begins publishing op-eds saying Joe Biden should not run again, and that he should announce it soon, then the gig is officially up. Biden is a lame duck. Perhaps someone should tell him. Columnist Bret Stephens is right to note that the president would be 86 years old at the time of the next election cycle, and that he now "seems ... uneven. Often cogent, but sometimes alarmingly incoherent." More simply, Joe is old and tottering — and he's unpopular to a startling degree.

Prosecutors or Praetorian Guard: Why is FBI investigating one missing diary in a sea of smash and grabs? With smash and grabs raging across the country, prosecutors have struggled to assure the public that they are cracking down on the crime wave and using every possible means to deter the organized thefts. One group notably missing in this effort has been the federal prosecutors. While Attorney General Merrick Garland was criticized for launching a federal task force on threats against school boards (based on a handful of local cases), he has been largely silent on any federal effort to deal with this actual crime wave. That is despite the fact that these attacks are organized on social media and experts think it's likely the stolen items are being sold on the internet. That is all interstate conduct and would allow for federal enforcement. There is, however, one allegedly stolen item that did bring a full-scale FBI investigation: the missing diary of Ashley Biden, daughter of President Joe Biden.

Biden Remains Behind the COVID Curve. Tuesday afternoon [12/21/2021], President Biden demonstrated why he has been no more successful than former President Trump in controlling the coronavirus, despite the advantage of vaccines and therapeutics that were not available to the latter. Speaking at the White House, Biden outlined additions to his "COVID-19 Winter Plan" that illustrate his administration's inability to adapt to rapidly changing conditions. He assured Americans that we are not going back to March 2020, but his strategy belies that claim. It similarly emphasizes increased testing, deploying medical personnel to overcrowded hospitals, as well as rushing gloves, masks, and ventilators to Michigan, Wisconsin, Vermont, and other states currently enduring case surges. Biden's administration was forced to revert to such measures because it clung desperately to a one-size-fits-all vaccine strategy that failed to anticipate multiple COVID-19 mutations.

Biden intends to run for reelection in 2024, Psaki says. President Biden intends to run for reelection in 2024, White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed Monday [12/20/2021], following a flurry of reports on discussions among Democrats about whether he would follow through on a bid for a second term. "That's his intention," Psaki told reporters, confirming reports that Biden has been telling advisers and staff he plans to run again in 2024.

Press Records Show Joe Biden Is The Least Accessible President In Modern History. One of the most infuriating parts of Joe Biden's presidency — aside from his stupefyingly disastrous policies of open borders, unscientific tyrannical COVID vaccine mandates, energy job-killing executive orders, socialist inflationary spending, and a disgraceful exit from Afghanistan — is the mere fact that he is the least accessible president in modern history. According to the American Presidency Project, a database compiled at the University of Santa Barbara that tracks presidential interactions with the media, Biden has had the fewest number of solo or joint press conferences of any president since Bill Clinton's lame-duck year in 2000, a year in which Clinton traveled to 22 different countries, including to India, Pakistan, Egypt, Japan, Germany, Russia, Nigeria, and Vietnam. The only places Biden seems to travel to are his homes in Wilmington or Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where he's been at least 25 times (as of October 27) and where he can remain as invisible as possible.

The White House's Vaccine Threats Aren't To Keep You Safe. They're To Keep You In Line. By now, you've likely seen or heard the latest coronavirus messaging from the White House, which President Joe Biden is scheduled to talk about again later on Tuesday. The president gave the first doomsday message for the unvaxxed, COVID response chief Jeff Zients repeated it, and chief of staff Ron Klain doubled down on it, so the comments were no slip of the tongue. This is the administration's official line. "We are intent on not letting omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You've done the right thing, and we will get through this. For the unvaccinated, you're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm," Zients said, one day after Biden made nearly identical comments. This messaging is problematic for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which is its remarkable ability to further harden 50 percent of the country against the so-called "unity" president, who has shaped up to be leagues more divisive than his predecessor.

Did Jen Psaki tell us a little more than she meant to about Joe Biden's COVID status? Coughing all over the place during his rare public appearances, multi-vaxxed Joe Biden gives all appearances of having COVID. But if he does, he's got politics on his mind and therefore isn't about to be honest about it. The latest nonsense then comes from White House spokesweasel Jen Psaki, who's making curious claims. [...] She claimed this: [Quoting a Tweet] @PressSec says Biden is asymptomatic after his close contact last week with a staffer who later tested positive for COVID-19. "He's asymptomatic. I spent several hours with him this morning and he is feeling great," she said. [End of Tweet] Asymptomatic? As in, has the disease, but isn't coughing all over the place? That not only is dishonest based on the fact that he is coughing in public appearances, but also implies a positive test for COVID. Asymptomatic people with COVID don't cough all over the place the way old Joe does. It sounds as if she revealed more than she meant to with that remark, given that it appears quite realistic to suspect that Joe has COVID.

Biden 'Asymptomatic' as He Coughs Through Big Speech on COVID and Snaps at Reporters. We reported earlier about the speech Joe Biden would make today and what it was likely to cover. But when he finally gave his remarks today, it was bad. He was coughing throughout his remarks. [Video clip] White House Press Psaki Jen Psaki told reporters he was "asymptomatic" after having been exposed to a staffer who had COVID but he's continued his regular schedule after only having one negative test. "He's asymptomatic. I spent several hours with him this morning and he is feeling great," she said. He's supposed to get another test tomorrow. That made a lot of people think he was positive because you usually don't use the term "asymptomatic" unless the person is positive, but Psaki subsequently denied it. But despite all that, he didn't adhere to his own promoted rules — not wearing the mask as he then left the room, despite not yet having the second test. And I don't know about you, but for someone who is "asymptomatic," he surely was coughing a lot — even more than usual.

If Joe Biden gets Covid, and the White House officially denies it, how would anyone get to the bottom of it? If Joe Biden disappears for a week, who would notice?

Joe Biden Spews Lies About the Unvaccinated During His Bumbling COVID Speech. As RedState reported earlier, Joe Biden gave a speech today [12/21/2021] in which he outlined his "plan" to combat the Omicron variant of COVID-19. Included were outright lies about what is happening in South Africa, where the actual data shows dropping hospitalization rates despite the nation's heavy caseload. That Biden would take such an approach is hardly surprising. Like many others in positions of power, he sees the coronavirus as a perpetual crisis from which to benefit. Because Omicron's apparent lack of virulence points toward a way out of the pandemic, the desperation in the president's rhetoric must escalate. That's because he needs a scapegoat for his failed policies, and the continued existence of the pandemic affords him the perfect one: The "unvaccinated." And right on cue, Biden attacked the unvaccinated in his speech, managing to pack a number of false statements into just a couple of minutes. [Video clip]

Joe Biden's Omicron speech shows he's still not on top of COVID. Credit President Joe Biden with not hitting the panic button in his speech on the Omicron wave — but that's about it. The prez rightly noted this isn't March 2020, and no new lockdowns should be necessary. But that was the closest he came to anything original. And it serves his interests: Declaring a new crisis would highlight how badly he's failed on his 2020 vow to "shut down the virus." It's now clear that he thought then that all he'd need to do was continue distributing the vaccines developed before he took office, that's it. (Hence his declaration in July that we'd achieved "independence from COVID-19" because vaccinations were going well.)

Devastating: 40% Of Democrats Say 'Biden Deserves to Be Impeached' - Poll. Do you think President Joe Biden deserves to be impeached for his failure in Afghanistan? A whopping 60 percent of voters do — including 40 percent of Democrats. The startling numbers come from a new Rasmussen poll that indicates Biden's popularity is slipping not only overall but also among a key demographic, the very one that propelled him to the White House: the members of his own party.

Covid Hits. Biden promised he would "not shut down America" but would instead "shut down the virus." He's violated both of those promises, and is shutting down America again while also failing to shut down the virus. So like any socialist, he needs some scapegoats — he needs counter-revolutionaries, subversives, and foreign spies to blame the failures of The State on. He needs Hoarders and Wreckers. He needs Enemies of the State who subvert all the good works of the state. And of course that's you — Republicans. People who don't get vaxed. People who do get vaxed but oppose vaccine mandates. People who do not engage in Mask Theater or engage in it to the minimum extent possible.

Joe Biden Releases His 'New' COVID Measures, Including One Mind-Boggling Provision. Joe Biden is set to speak today on his "new" COVID measures. [...] Nothing listed here strikes me as making a difference, nor does the data support the need to battle Omicron in this way. [...] It's the same old stuff that may or may not be necessary. But it's the last announcement in the measures that strikes me as mind-boggling. Two weeks ago, the White House announced that sending out at-home tests was expensive and wasteful of resources. Now, Biden is proclaiming that he is going to distribute 500 million rapid tests to American households. I can't think of a dumber thing to do than this. After all that we've learned, we are now going to go back to mass testing of asymptomatic individuals? This is how you keep this pandemic going forever because case numbers represent a point of control for the government. The more cases, the more justification they have for harsh "mitigation" and further power grabs.

For Biden, a day of COVID reckoning is coming. President Joe Biden has come up with a new set of measures to deal with the surge in COVID cases. The plan, which focuses mostly on assisting hospitals, home testing, and promoting vaccinations, is the latest evidence that Biden, who during the presidential campaign portrayed himself as an experienced leader who knew how to handle the pandemic, was not, in fact, prepared to handle the pandemic. The simple fact is, Biden has failed to live up to his promises to control the pandemic. During his second debate with then-President Donald Trump, Biden pledged to "shut down the virus."

Joe Biden's dog Major has been given away after biting incidents. The White House welcomed a new puppy named Commander on Monday [12/20/2021], but also admitted that President Joe Biden's rescue dog Major had been sent to a new home after a biting scandal.

The Editor says...
The Biden White House and the news media are quick to publicize the family pets when it's a helpful distraction from Joe's incompetence, senility, and many scandalous failures, but when the dogs aren't cute and friendly any more, their status becomes a state secret. The Biden puppeteers know that if the dogs are never mentioned again, only one voter in a million will ever ask about them.

Review: 'Laptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide'. In the spring of 2019, in between bouts of crack smoking and trysts with prostitutes, living out of hotels and stinking of smoke and booze, Hunter Biden made a strangely lucid decision. He got in a car, drove to a computer service shop, and dropped off his laptop for repair. The next day, he returned to give the clerk an external hard drive so that the contents could be extracted. Then he never came back. Why Hunter decided to take his computer to a repairman (and ultimately abandon it) two weeks before his father's presidential announcement, rather than just buy a new one, could be an interesting puzzle for Freudian theorists. But out of that fateful decision comes Miranda Devine's fascinating book Laptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide. Devine's gripping account of the Biden family's sleazy business dealings, gleaned from the contents of Hunter's hard drive, picks up where the New York Post's stellar pre-election reporting left off.

The madness of King Brandon. Less than one year since he assumed office, Joe Biden has managed to turn his presidency into a deeply unpopular monarchy. No longer is he the genial but generally harmless buffoon who entertained most of us while he was in Congress with his mispronunciations, misquotes, and embellished tales of dubious authenticity. As a result of the 2020 presidential election that was, at best, questionable, Biden was elevated well past his ability, and he proceeded to wreck virtually everything he touched as leader of the free world. [...] Throughout his only career in his life, in which he lived on the taxpayer's dime, Biden's main skill seemed to be his ability to win re-election to the Senate by projecting the home-spun image of "Joe from Scranton," which bamboozled voters into believing he was a regular guy who was on their side in D.C.

What standard should we hold Joe Biden to on COVID deaths? COVID is spreading as fast as it can everywhere it can. You can blame each individual who spread it or you can blame the Chinese for not isolating it fast enough last year. But what I don't think you can do is point at Joe Biden and say he's to blame for every death. The problem is that a tremendous number of Democrats spent much of last year saying exactly that sort of thing about President Trump. One of the people who explicitly made this argument was candidate Joe Biden. [Tweet] That wasn't the only time he made that argument. He said the same thing in a presidential debate: [Video clip]

Joe Biden Crashes and Burns During Remarks, 'This Is Fine'. Joe Biden had a busy day today, and things went about as well as you'd expect, which is to say not well at all. [...] The fact that Biden can't remember the names of his own appointees speaks directly to not only his lack of mental acuity but also a lack of preparation. We know the guy is senile, but can no one give the man a list of names beforehand? In the responses, someone snarkily mentioned that Donald Trump once called Tim Cook by the wrong name. But there's a large difference between messing up the name of someone not at all related to the administration and forgetting the name of the Defense Secretary, someone the president is supposed to be intimately involved with. But is Biden actually intimately involved? That's what's so concerning. Does he actually even interact with his cabinet on a regular basis?

The Editor says...
Here's an idea for a Washington-based network TV reporter: The next time you get a chance to ask the President a quesion, ask him if he knows the name of the Secretary of Commerce, or the Secretary of Education, or the Secretary of Labor. The President should only have to interface with about two dozen people on a daily basis, and by now he should know all their names.

Jill Biden Says Old Joe Biden is Sharp as a Tack. She Wouldn't Lie, Would She? [Scroll down] When Americans look today to see if Joe Biden is mentally fit to be the president of the United States, figurehead that he is, they may see a video that began circulating Wednesday of Biden telling a story about a poor woman who had to park in a McDonald's parking lot so that her children could use the Internet to do their homework. [...] Maybe it's too harsh to take that as a sign of mental decay on Biden's part, although the calls for implementation of the 25th Amendment would be shrill and insistent right now if Trump had said exactly the same thing. [...] Biden is carefully scripted and tightly controlled, is fed canned answers to pre-planned softball questions, and still there comes a steady stream of videos that show him stumbling over his words or saying something absurd. The American people aren't stupid and can see his mental decline with their own eyes. Jill Biden, by contrast, has embarked upon yet another of the Left's many endeavors to convince you to believe them, rather than your lying eyes.

Biden blames Kentucky tornado damage on 'climate change' to score political points. Like a broken-down vaudeville performer of old, Joe Biden has just a few acts in his repertoire and he's sticking to them. One of those acts that he drags out as often as possible is climate change. So it was that, after the terrible damage when a tornado devastated Mayfield, Kentucky, Biden immediately said that the tornado is proof of global warming. (Other Democrats piled on with the same message.) However, the reality is that extreme weather events are getting less frequent.

Biden uses tornado tragedy to push climate agenda, suggests storms are 'consequence of the warming'. President Biden on Saturday addressed the fatal weather that ravaged parts of the South and Midwest and used the tragedy to further his own beliefs on climate change. While speaking to reporters and virtually assessing the tornado damage from Wilmington, Delaware, Biden was asked whether he "could conclude that these storms and the intensity have to do with climate change." "All I know is that the intensity of the weather across the board has some impacts as a consequence of the warming of the planet and climate change," Biden said. "The specific impact on these specific storms, I can't say at this point." "I'm going to be asking the EPA and others to take a look at that," Biden added. "The fact is that we all know everything is more intense when the climate is warming. Everything. And obviously it has some impact here, but I can't give you a quantitative read on that."

The Editor says...
Democrats have no qualms about using weather-related tragedies for political gain. The biggest recent example is Hurricane Katrina.

Cracked Icons. Do we remember old Joe Biden from Scranton? He was the media fiction who hid his dementia in his basement for a year, spouting that Trump had wrecked everything and he would bring about decency, prosperity, an end to the virus, and "healing." The Biden candidacy was one of the most cynical in American history. The unhinged far-Left adopted a befuddled Biden as the respectable veneer necessary to see their hard-core, but stealth socialist agenda finally enacted. Key to a virtual presidency would be virtual voting, as 102 million mail-in and early votes were never subject to the previous standards of authentication and statistical rejection rates of the past — rendering Election Day voting mostly a memory. Good Joe was billed as the antithesis to the tweeting Bad Trump. Yet he clearly wasn't. Even Joe's tweets (e.g., "We are with you, Jussie") were often more ridiculous. Within days the "moderate" Joe Biden set in place policies that were guaranteed to begin wrecking the country, to send his polls down into the 30s, to ensure the likely wipe-out of his congressional majorities in 2022, and to make himself and the media who created his myth disliked, and the laughingstock of the country.

Joe Biden Snubs Army-Navy Football Game, Hides In Delaware Instead. Joe Biden snubbed the Army-Navy football game on Saturday, opting instead to remain in his home state of Delaware. The internet couldn't help but notice Biden's absence at the Army-Navy game at the MetLife Stadium in Rutherford, New Jersey, which has been customarily attended by former U.S. presidents. One of the likely reasons Biden snubbed the patriotic event is to avoid the risk of standing in a stadium in front of tens of thousands of people chanting "Let's Go Brandon!", a euphemism for [...]

The Six Most Disastrous Members Of The Biden Administration. #1: White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain: If Biden is merely a barely functioning figurehead, which it seems clear that he is, then who is really calling the shots? Who's the one pulling Biden's marionette strings? We can't know for sure, but for me the most obvious culprit would be Mr. Klain. As Chief of Staff, we can safely assume no one interacts more with Biden than Ron Klain. No matter the topic, no matter the crisis, a Chief of Staff is going to have his fingers in everything the president does. Biden's ridiculous spending plans? There is no doubt that Klain weighed in on each one of them; heavily. The decision to pull the trigger on the catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal? Klain absolutely had input there as well. And while there's no question that Dr. Anthony Fauci and other authoritarian bureaucrats were pushing Biden to implement vaccine mandates and to acquiesce to teachers' unions with school closings, we can rest assured that it was Ron Klain who advised Biden and orchestrated the policies. If we also consider the calamitous supply chain crisis, the Administration's insistence on divisive identity politics, the repeated missteps with China and Russia, and the apparent strategy to have Biden become Bernie Sanders' political clone, the Biden Administration is in tatters. And Ron Klain has his fingerprints everywhere we look.

Biden Megadonor Scores $500 Million Federal Loan for Solar Company. A solar energy company owned by a Biden megadonor received a $500 million government loan to build a manufacturing facility in India, the Biden administration announced this week, raising questions about whether the company's political clout played any role in the financing decision. The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation granted the loan to First Solar, which is owned by billionaire Walmart heir Lukas Walton, to build a solar module plant in India. Walton contributed over $300,000 to President Joe Biden's campaign last year, and over $100,000 to the Democratic National Committee, according to campaign finance records. The loan to First Solar is the "largest single debt financing transaction" issued by the DFC, the agency announced this week.

Joe Biden Tries to Preempt More Bad News on Inflation. President Joe Biden tried to preempt more bad news on inflation Thursday as analysts are watching the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), scheduled for Friday. "Tomorrow, we will get a report on consumer prices that experts expect to be elevated again," Biden acknowledged in a statement about the economy. Economists are estimating consumer costs are expected to rise 0.7 percent from the previous month and hit a 6.7 percent jump from last year. That would be higher than the jump in October, which hit a record high of 6.2 percent, the highest jump since 1990.

The 'cabal' that bragged of foisting Joe Biden on us must answer for his failed presidency. It's time to admit it. Less than a year in, Joe Biden's is a failed presidency. Biden knows it, the press knows it, and voters know it. And our foreign adversaries like China and Russia know it. It's also time to look at the "cabal" of business, labor and political leaders who foisted the Biden administration on us. That won't be hard, as they were openly bragging about their efforts less than a year ago. The failure is obvious. The administration is so desperate, it's begging the press for better coverage. (What, they're supposed to lie about gas and food prices? I guess so.) The Chinese and Russians are moving aggressively against the United States and its allies, on the ground, on the seas and even in outer space, because they don't fear repercussions from a tired, incoherent president who presides over an administration of woke incompetents and Obama retreads.

Power struggle: The White House bid to oust Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris doesn't actually do anything in her job, and maybe that's more than just her laziness. Actually, with her miserable performance, and her poll numbers bottoming even Joe Biden's, she seems to be in the throes of a power struggle with the White House to hold on to her job. [...] The Spectator believes that Jill Biden is the one who's behind this bid to oust Harris, and Harris is going to fight it. [...] The Spectator thinks Jill is positioning herself to become the replacement vice president, and after that, the president should something happen to Old Joe. One wonders how ambitious she might be to make that happen. The Ambitious Jill theory seems far-fetched, but this isn't a normal political age, so who knows? Others, such as the Conservative Treehouse, have pointed out that the sudden recrudescence of Hillary Clinton, reading her presidential acceptance speech to the public, suggests that she too is in the market to replace the floundering Harris.

Biden's Remarks in Kansas City [were bad]. [Scroll down] Biden also forgot the name of the Mayor of Kansas City. All he had to do was read it off the teleprompter. But he can't. So the person's name became Mayor Our Mayor Here. [Video clip] Then he told the Angelo Negri story for the sixth time, his completely false story of meeting his friend, the Amtrak train conductor, on the train. RNC Research shows all the variations that Biden has in the story over each of the times that he's told it. But what's most aggravating about this story is I started debunking this in May, even CNN cited our fact check on it and admits it's false. But Biden is still shamelessly telling the story, even saying "true story" when he tells it when it's demonstrably untrue.

Delaware Supreme Court Demands Answers on Biden's Hidden Senate Documents — 1850 Boxes of Records! Judicial Watch this week announced that the Delaware Supreme Court ruled the University of Delaware must provide more answers on Joe Biden's hidden Senate documents. The University of Delaware refuses to release Biden's records and said that the papers will not be released until two years after Biden retires. "The collection of former Vice President Biden's senatorial papers is still being processed, with many items yet to be cataloged," an email from a school spokeswoman said. "The entire collection will remain closed to the public until two years after Mr. Biden retires from public life." Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation initially filed a FOIA lawsuit in 2020 for all of Biden's senate records — 1,850 boxes of records.

Joe Biden Shouts at The Audience, He Wants Americans To Pay Even More For Gasoline. This is nuts. The White House occupant doesn't have any idea what they are loading into his teleprompter at this point, he just shouts it at the audience as if it's supposed to make some kind of bizarre sense. This doofus is totally off his rocker. What does this even mean? [Video clip]

Who is the autocratic president, again, overstepping his authority? [Scroll down] Obamacare, with all its mandates and taxes, took away freedom of choice and the price of insurance and co-pays skyrocketed. Obamacare reduced competition and large insurance companies had a captive audience. When day care and preschool providers know they have a captive audience and the government will take care of much of the bill, there will be no incentive to control costs and prices will skyrocket. The middle class will be hammered. Prices finally stabilized after Trump took away the individual mandates and allowed people the freedom of choice. For four years, as Trump was transferring freedom and power back to the people as fast as possible, the media described Trump as a dictator and an autocrat to intentionally mislead the public. As Biden rules by executive orders and mandates, the media pretends that he is not autocratic.

New York Post Reporter Draws Psaki's Ire Over Daring to Ask About Hunter's Laptop. During Monday's [12/6/2021] episode of The Psaki Show, New York Post reporter Steven Nelson made the most of his infrequent opportunities to question Press Secretary Jen Psaki by invoking news about Hunter Biden's Chinese business dealings and Miranda Devine's new book about Hunter's laptop. However, Psaki wanted nothing to do with either of them[.] Nelson began by citing a new and "big report" out of the Biden administration concerning "corruption" as a way of asking "two quick and hopefully pretty easy questions about that" (which ironically cited art sales as a key vehicle for money laundering).

White House Flags Art Industry for Money Laundering While Permitting Hunter to Sell Art to Anonymous Buyers. The White House flagged money laundering in the art industry on Monday [12/6/2021] as a point of corruption while allowing Hunter Biden to sell his artwork to anonymous buyers for as much as $500,000. The first report of its kind named the United States Strategy on Countering Corruption is geared towards exploring the ways and means "government officials abuse public power for private gain." Though the White House's report specifically focused on the art industry as a "market" where financial crimes occur, it did not mention the Biden family's involvement with corruption, such as Hunter's art selling scheme to investors while his father is president.

Hunter's artistic license! Psaki says President's son doesn't have to reveal who he finally sold his Chinese investment to or how much he made. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki refused to say who'd bought Hunter Biden's recently-sold stake in a Chinese firm — and snubbed a question on whether she now believed the president's son's notorious stolen laptop was real. Psaki visibly bridled when asked by the New York Post Monday about who'd bought Biden's share in Bohai Harvest RST (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Company, a private equity firm headquartered in Shanghai. 'The president's son is not an employee of the federal government,' Psaki replied.

Psaki declines 'basic transparency' about Hunter Biden Chinese divestment. White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday refused to commit to "basic transparency" about Hunter Biden's alleged divestment from an investment fund controlled by Chinese state-owned entities or confirm that the first son's infamous lost laptop is authentic when pressed by The [New York] Post. Hunter Biden's attorney said last month — less than a week after President Biden's virtual summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping — that his client had finally divested his 10 percent stake in the firm, called BHR Partners, but offered no further details on the identity of the buyer or the transaction terms. The Post asked Psaki at Monday's White House briefing if she would "commit to basic transparency about that transaction, including the name of the buyer, the dollar amount and the timing."

Jill Biden's Rocky Horror Christmas Show. hat a difference a year makes — especially when there is a president in exile. Those who publicly criticized the elegant Melania Trump for her White House Christmas decorations now owe her an abject apology. Because, make no mistake, the White House decorations this year are underwhelming to say the least. The entire process apparently took only a week to assemble, and it shows. In many instances, the rooms are haphazardly outfitted. In some instances, it is not even clear the decorations celebrate Christmas. The theme this year, allegedly, is "Gifts from the Heart" and "small acts of kindness." Regrettably, I must report that the gifts are few, the heart is unkind, and the acts are most definitely small. We suppose these themes were chosen by Jill Biden, Ed.D. It is abundantly clear in examining them that good taste was not an object of Dr. Biden's intensive study.

The Counterrevolution and the Republican Party. For nearly a year the Biden "presidency" — whoever they are — has subjected the United States to a destructive revolutionary agenda of unprecedented scope and virulence, all of it arising out of an irrational civilizational death wish for which there is no historical parallel. No more than a small minority of Americans knowingly voted for this. Given safety from reprisal, large majorities of the electorate would reject both the underlying unhinged beliefs and the ruinous policies and goals that have been promoted since Biden and his opaque gang took office.

How the Biden Family Gets Away With an Enormous Amount of Sleaze. [Scroll down] Into this odd whiplash dropped a deceptively interesting new book by Ben Schreckinger, a Politico journalist who'd been covering Biden for several years. The Bidens: Inside the First Family's Fifty-Year Rise to Power received little or no "buzz" upon its release this September, save for a minor flurry over one of its most newsworthy nuggets: Schreckinger was able to confirm the authenticity of emails found on Hunter Biden's infamous "laptop from hell." As you may recall, this was the same laptop that, before the 2020 election, we were all so confidently assured was nothing more than the fruits of yet another devious "Russian disinformation" operation. Schreckinger got a partial copy of the laptop hard drive and did the straightforward journalistic work of confirming with email recipients that these emails were indeed real, rather than ghostwritten by Vladimir Putin. Which makes the censorship of that story on social media last fall all the more egregious.

Bidens late for Christmas tree lighting, audience ordered to repeat welcoming applause. The Bidens were on Biden time last night as they arrived at their designated spot for the National Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. They were late. [...] Last night was the 99th annual National Christmas Tree lighting. Is it too much to ask that Biden's keepers get him outside on time to flip a switch? Apparently so, and it turned out to be a moment more awkward than usual for Sleepy Joe. The host, rapper and actor LL Cool J, teed up the president and Jill with an introduction. His wording was odd but probably written by a White House staffer. LL Cool J asked the audience to welcome "our literal host, our actual host to this very American celebration — President Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden." The audience applauded and then there was nothing. The walk-on music played. And played. Masked adults moved around in front of the staged outdoor setting. The ASL interpreter just stands on stage.

The Editor says...
Why would the Bidens be introduced if they were not ready? This shows an amateurish lack of preparation and coordination.

Death by Politics. Foreign policy actions have already led to American deaths. When Joe Biden decided to end the war in Afghanistan, a war that had already been won by the U.S. military, he chose to informally surrender to an enemy as an incompetent exit strategy. In doing so, he abandoned hundreds of Americans and our loyal allies to a cruel fate. They are now in the hands of a ruthless enemy that kills for the pleasure of killing. Biden sacrificed thirteen of our brave military and endangered the lives of thousands more on the day of our unmilitary exit. He has shown such weakness that he has endangered the entire nation.

Biden's Pandemic Death Toll: It's Our Own Fault. With the Omicron variant of the novel coronavirus now the latest fashion accessory among the mask-lockdown-vaccine mandate crowd, President Joe Biden unveiled on Thursday his latest plan to keep us healthy. But we've seen this before. While running against President Donald Trump, he promised to "shut down the virus." He failed. But that's not his fault, says the Whites House press secretary. We have only ourselves to blame. We haven't been the pliant subjects Biden was relying on us to be. We've disappointed our Dear Leader. Multiple times during the 2020 campaign Biden swore that if the country would elect him, he would end the pandemic. Yet it remains. Through Jan. 20 of this year, there were 425,000 deaths attributed to COVID-19, according to Centers for Disease Control data. The total now stands at 783,000 deaths, meaning that 358,000 have lost their lives to the disease under Biden.

We're being governed by imbeciles. A few weeks into Joe Biden's presidency, I had the following thought: How many articles, opinion pieces and stories can be written and/or reported about one person's utter stupidity? At some point, the sheer repetition of pointing out Scranton Joe's uselessness as a leader, speaker, role model and human being would become background noise. It's now just accepted that this man has no discernable virtues as a leader, no abilities that come to the fore, and is possibly the most annoying blowhard that has ever been in government. None of this is a revelation to anyone who has been awake or had a television for the last 40 years.

Airhead or puppet? You decide.
Joe Biden Compares The Shortage of Pet Food, Chemical and Raw Material Commodities to the Scarcity of Cabbage Patch Dolls. At some point you have to wonder if the Obama team behind the scenes is intentionally putting words in Biden's teleprompter because they want him to be mocked in public. Earlier today [12/1/2021] Joe Biden compared the shortage of essential products, pet foods, raw materials, petroleum products and chemicals in the U.S. (due to his self-inflicted energy policy) to the shortage of Cabbage Patch dolls in the 1980's. Seriously, you really cannot make this stuff up. [Video clip]

Biden Met With Protesters, Responds With Some Major Whoppers. Joe Biden visited the heavy trucking program at the Dakota County Technical College in Rosemount, Minnesota, to talk about his recently signed infrastructure law and to push his Build Back Better bill. Biden was met by at least 100 protesters during his visit, according to a very expressive pool report. [...] Biden then went into full pitch mode. Unfortunately, full pitch mode doesn't include full honesty mode. He continues with the nonsensical narrative that somehow spending more will reduce inflation and the deficit.

Joe Biden sure does make a lot of good things happen for China. I wonder why.
'Large Portion' of Oil Tapped from Strategic Reserves by Biden Will Go to China, India. Supposedly aimed at lowering fuel prices for Americans who continue to struggle under inflation that has accompanied the Biden administration's economic policies, the president announced last week that he would be tapping into the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It turns out, though, that some of the taxpayer-bought oil pulled from America's strategic stockpile won't even find its way to American refineries and eventually down the line to gas pumps in the United States. As Bloomberg reported, a "large portion" of the 50 million barrels being released would likely go to China and India. According to traders, that's because the released supplies "consist of sour crude, a type of oil that U.S. refiners are shunning due to its high sulfur content, which makes it more expensive to process." Foreign buyers, on the other hand, don't mind paying less for lower-quality oil.

Get Ready for President Hillary Clinton. Biden is finished. He served his useful purpose. He provided a white, experienced, grandfatherly, supposedly "moderate" face to serve at the top of the presidential ticket. The mail-in ballot fraud got the Democrats 90% of the way home in rigging and stealing the 2020 election. And Biden's "white moderate grandfather" routine did the rest: He fooled just enough clueless and naive voters in a handful of battleground states to finish the job. But the jig is up. Biden's approval is now in the unimaginable 30% range. That means he has no one left on his side but friends, family, campaign aides, Democratic Kool-Aid drinkers, welfare addicts and migrants. Everyone with a brain, who isn't blind, deaf or really dumb, now understands Biden is brain-dead. It's hard to miss the daily decline in Biden's ability to think and communicate. Democratic puppet masters have no choice anymore but to throw grandpa from the train. Biden's days are numbered before he will be forced to step down after admitting he can't do the job anymore due to rapidly advancing dementia. Biden is as good as gone.

Hunter Biden's profiteering matters — even if the rest of the press ignore it. Most of the media continue to ignore Hunter Biden like toddlers with their fingers in their ears. His laptop is "unconfirmed." "Unsubstantiated." "It doesn't matter." The first two are obviously false, a weak excuse to cover things up for the administration. From the beginning, the laptop was substantiated: Hunter's former business partner Tony Bobulinski confirmed his correspondence was real. Hunter Biden never denied they were his files; in fact, his memoir confirms the pictures of the drug use, prostitutes and financial documents from the laptop. [New York] Post columnist Miranda Devine's new book, "Laptop from Hell," details how the Chinese gave Hunter a 3-carat diamond and includes pictures from the computer of the diamond as well as a Hunter selfie showing his back tattoo of the Finger Lakes. Were these all doctored? Hunter himself confirmed in an interview with The New Yorker that he received the diamond but just waved it off as a nice gesture. The Biden files have been confirmed and substantiated eight ways to Sunday. Reporters just don't want to hear it.

The Biden Grift-and-Influence Machine Is Even Worse Than You Thought. In her new book, Laptop from Hell, Miranda Devine describes a Biden grift-and-influence machine dirtier than most people could imagine — because the mainstream media sat on the story of Hunter Biden's juicy laptop until well after the election. Due out on Tuesday, Devine's explosive revelations come from the very laptop that Biden had accidentally abandoned at a Delaware repair shop in 2019, apparently due to his drug use. The press (with a big assist from social media) buried the story, slapping the Fake News banner on it and — during a heated election — prevented an open and honest discussion of the facts.

Joe Biden was involved in a deal with a Chinese giant — and was expecting a 10 percent cut. Hunter Biden and his Uncle Jim were already waiting for Tony Bobulinski in the lobby bar of the Beverly Hilton when he arrived at 10 p.m. May 2, 2017. The Bidens had chosen a discreet couch behind a thick marble column where they could see everyone who walked in the front entrance. Joe Biden, who had left the vice president's office a little more than three months before, was flying into Los Angeles to speak at the prestigious Milken Institute Global Conference and would be joining them at the bar within the hour. For Bobulinski, 48, a third-generation Navy veteran and Democratic donor, it would be his first meeting with Joe Biden, and he was conscious that he was being vetted for a trusted role orchestrating the Biden family's existing joint venture with Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC.

Media ignoring the utter weirdness of Biden's Nantucket stay at a billionaire's estate. Normally, when going to stay at a friend's house, etiquette requires bringing a gift — say, flowers, some wine, or something to eat. But what about the strange circumstances Joe and Dr. Jill Biden face while staying at the Nantucket estate of multi-billionaire hedge fund founder David Rubenstein? It's a really, really long (since Tuesday night) weekend stay, so one might wonder if Benjamin Franklin's famous aphorism, that guests, like fish, start to smell after 3 days, comes into play. But nope, not a chance. You see, while "visiting" their "friend's" estate, Joe and Dr. Jill are not going to see the Rubensteins at all. They've cleared out. Traveling overseas, doncha know. I very much doubt that they had booked a non-refundable airfare when Joe's staff called up and asked about "visiting" over Thanksgiving weekend. They no doubt have at least one private jet at their disposal. So, they cleared out of their estate to make room for Mr. and Dr. POTUS. How thoughtful!

Chinese titan lavished Hunter Biden with 3-carat gem, offer of $30 million. James Gilliar, a wiry, 56-year-old British ex-SAS officer, got to know Ye Jianming, the 40-year-old chairman of CEFC, when they were both working in the Czech Republic. CEFC was a Chinese conglomerate, one of the largest energy companies in the world. Ye's task at was to spend $1.5 billion as quickly as possible to ensure the Czech Republic would become China's "Gateway to the European Union," a priority of President Xi. To that end, Ye bought everything from a football team and a brewery to an airline, before being named "special economic advisor" to Czech President Milos Zeman. Now he was looking for an influential partner to help with acquisitions in other locations around the world that had strategic significance for the Chinese state. Gilliar had an idea who could help: The Biden family.

Former Obama Doctor: Biden Wasn't Given Cognitive Test Because He Would've 'Failed Miserably'. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), who was the White House physician under former Presidents Obama and Trump, called President Biden's recent health report "six pages of superficial fluff" during an interview with Newsmax this week. According to Jackson, "there was a lot missing" from the report. "Honestly, there were six pages of stuff that most people just don't care about," Jackson said. "I mean, you know, Dr. O'Connor spent six pages addressing like an occasional cough and some stiffness and things like that when the elephant in the room was the president's cognitive ability. Over 50% of this country does not believe he's cognitively fit to be our Commander in Chief and our head of state, yet that wasn't addressed anywhere in there." "We set the precedent when we did President Trump's physical," Jackson continued. "I did. The far-Left and the mainstream media were relentless in their pursuit of me to do something to address not only his physical capabilities, but his mental capabilities, which we did — we did a cognitive test. As far as I'm concerned, we set the precedent. [...]"

Biden Is The Manchurian President For China. China proved they own Biden and disciplined him. China overthrew our election and put their guy in the White House to destroy America. [Video clip]

Documents Show Hunter Biden Using Family Leverage in Prospective Deal to Sell Louisiana Natural Gas to Chinese Firm. The Biden family was set to benefit from a deal to transfer American natural gas to Chinese energy company CEFC, through a prospective 2017 deal by Hunter and Jim Biden, according to newly uncovered documents — as the Biden administration now massively scales back United States energy production. Documents never previously reported on, from the infamous "laptop from hell" belonging to Hunter, show the Biden scion was working on a deal in 2017 to transfer liquid natural gas from Louisiana to CEFC — the same Chinese firm with which Hunter also discussed a business venture that would have "10 [percent] held by H for the big guy" — but the deal never materialized.

The Media Again Buries A Hunter Biden Scandal on Foreign Deals During the Biden Vice Presidency. I previously wrote a column on the one year anniversary of the Hunter Biden laptop story that marveled at the success of the Biden family in making the scandal vanish before that 2020 election. [...] Now, in an encore, a new major story on Biden's Chinese dealings has surfaced. Once again, poof! The media has made the story disappear except for a couple of the usual outlets. Even with the New York Times reporting on the story, the disclosure of Biden's role in securing one of the world's largest cobalt mines for China (a key component to electric battery production) has been ignored by the major networks and many other print outlets. Once again, ABC. NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and other media just cannot see the elephant. What is most amazing about this continuing trick is that the story has all of the elements that the media longed to confirm during the Trump Administration on the financial dealings of the Trump children.

Biden Excludes Family Of Murdered U.S. Special Agent From Ceremony Signing Bill With Agent's Name: Report. Last week, President Biden signed into law the Jaime Zapata and Victor Avila Federal Officers and Employees Protection Act, named after two Special Agents who were targeted by the Los Zetas cartel in Mexico, with Zapata murdered and Avila seriously injured. But neither Avila nor Zapata's family was invited to the ceremony, according to The Texan.

Keep digging, Joe.
The White House Manages to Double Down on Joe Biden's Defamation of Kyle Rittenhouse. Following the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse last week, a Joe Biden campaign ad from 2020 remerged and began to make the rounds. In it, a picture of Rittenhouse is seen on the screen while soundbites in the background continually mention "white supremacy." That has led many to wonder if the president himself could be one of the first targets of the defamation lawsuits that Rittenhouse and his lawyers are likely to unleash soon. Today [11/23/2021], the White House was finally asked directly about their view of the matter. Fox News' Peter Doocy (because no other "journalist" in the room would ever bring it up) asked Jen Psaki if Biden would consider apologizing for smearing Rittenhouse with false allegations of racism. Psaki's answer was so incoherent that it left me wondering whether they actually want to be sued.

Reporter Asks *the* Question of the Day at Conclusion of Joe Biden 'Presser,' Gets No Answer. President Biden held what we were told was a "press conference" today in which he gaslit the country once again by telling struggling Americans that everything was going to be okay, portraying himself as a hero for all, and not shouldering one iota of the blame for the rising cost of everything including the food items people are buying in order to prepare their Thanksgiving dinners. In addition to that was the usual generous helping of out and out incoherence, something that has become a staple at any public event where the current Oval Office occupant opens his mouth to speak. Though this was ostensibly billed as a "press conference," Biden took no questions from the members of the press who were assembled to document what he said and who no doubt hoped they'd get the opportunity to ask some questions.

Joe Biden Addresses High Gas Prices: Americans Can Save Money if They Buy Electric Cars. President Joe Biden promoted his efforts to lower gas prices on Tuesday, but he reminded Americans they would save more money on gas if they owned electric cars. "For the hundreds of thousands of folks who bought one of those electric cars, they're going to save $800 to $1000 in fuel costs this year," Biden said, referring to the $112,595 electric Hummer pickup he test drove at a General Motors factory in Detroit earlier this month.

The Editor says...
Brilliant! Save $800 on fuel costs when you spend $112,000. But you'll spend much more than $800 per year on electricity if you drive your new electric car as much as you would drive a gas-engine model. You will also spend a lot of time charging your car (during which time the car can't move), as opposed to the five minutes a week that you'd spend at a gas station.

Taxpayers Subsidize Manhattan Gallery Showcasing Hunter Biden Art. A Manhattan art gallery exhibiting and selling artwork from Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, received $580,000 in taxpayer-funded Covid-19 relief aid, about half of which came after Biden took office. The Georges Berges Gallery only has two employees but it received a $150,000 "disaster assistance loan" from the Small Business Administration last year, according to public records, the New York Post reported.

Hunter Biden's private equity firm helped Chinese conglomerate buy American-owned cobalt mine in $3.8 billion deal. An investment firm founded by Hunter Biden assisted a Chinese company in purchasing one of the world's richest cobalt mines from an American company for $3.8 billion — helping the conglomerate gain a massive share of the key metal used to make electric car batteries. The president's son was one of three Americans who joined Chinese partners in establishing the Bohai Harvest RST Equity Investment Fund Management Company, or BHR, in 2013. The Americans controlled 30 percent of the company and made successful investments that culminated in aiding China Molybdenum purchase the Tenke Fungurume cobalt mine in the Congo from the American company Freeport-McMoRan in 2016, the New York Times reported.

White House doctor is hiding Joe Biden's brain drain. President Biden went for a colonoscopy Friday and his doctor pronounced his brain is fine. So now he and his inner sanctum have let it be known he plans to run again in 2024, when he would be 82. No one really believes any of it. For one thing, where is his cognitive test? That's the question increasingly on American minds. It's clear, from his often bizarre or befuddled behavior, that something is not quite right with the president, which is why 59 percent of voters want him to take a cognitive test and release the results, according to a new McLaughlin & Associates survey published in the Washington Examiner. But the six-page letter released by the White House Friday night, revealing the results of his first official physical, omitted any reference to Biden's cognitive faculties.

Brit Hume Of FOX News On Possibility Of Biden Running Again In 2024: 'He's Clearly Senile'. The Biden White House is assuring people that Biden is going to run again, but lots of people have questions, mainly because of Biden's mental health. When Brit Hume was asked about it, he suggested that Biden may not even make it through his first term. He also said that Biden is senile. [Video clip]

A Little Girl Just Karate Blocked Creepy Joe As Biden Creeps On Her. The discussion around Biden's behavior has largely been fueled by a string of accusations by several women that he "inappropriately" touched them. Most notably, back in March last year, the former senator's staffer Tara Reid publicly came forward saying he sexually assaulted her back in 1993. The claims did not attract much media attention, even though they coincided with the rise of the highly publicized 'MeToo' movement, self-tasked with bringing powerful men to account for sexual misbehavior against women. The organization's largest personalities did not seem to be interested in Reid's case, which led to infighting and accusations of partisanship. Biden himself denied the allegations, saying that "nothing like this ever, ever happened," and even added that he doesn't remember the woman.

White House doc: Biden's physical exam included "extremely detailed" neurological exam. [Scroll down] When asked about recent polling that shows most Americans do not think Biden is in good health, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki brushed concerns off as conspiracies pushed by his opponents. [...] It's not a conspiracy theory, though, because it is something that anyone can see. We see his stiff-legged gait when he walks. We see him with a dazed and confused look in his eyes each time he speaks. None of that has anything to do with his history of stuttering. It has to do with mental sharpness. His gait is a sign of age, which isn't nearly as alarming as his state of confusion as projected when he speaks. It is to be expected that most Americans are not feeling very comfortable with Biden's ability to handle the job, both physically and mentally, as president. It is not to be brushed off that many Americans think that Biden isn't calling the shots in the White House.

Hunter Biden's firm helped China gain control of electric-car mineral: report. Hunter Biden's investment firm helped broker a 2016 deal that gave a Chinese state-backed company control of a massive African mine rich in cobalt — a mineral essential for the production of electric car batteries. The deal, first reported by the Washington Free Beacon during the 2020 presidential campaign, was spotlighted by the New York Times Saturday as Congress inches closer to approving President Biden's $2 trillion social spending plan, which earmarks billions of dollars to promote electric vehicles. In 2016, an investment firm founded by Hunter Biden with several Chinese partners was cut into a complex $3.8 billion transaction that transferred 80 percent of Congo's Tenke Fungurum mine from an American company to Beijing-backed China Molybdenum. President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden's father, was the sitting vice president when the deal was struck.

People should be angry about Joe Biden's Rittenhouse verdict twaddle. So Joe Biden is "angry and concerned" that a 17-year-old who defended himself against armed adult criminals got acquitted by a Kenosha jury in a trial. [Biden quote omitted for brevity.] Biden says he's angry and concerned over Rittenhouse acquittal for Kenosha killings, but 'we have to abide by it.' Prior to that, he tried to smear Rittenhouse as a white supremacist. [...] I've never heard Biden that he is "angry and concerned" about the following: All the violent rioters and protesters in cities who killed and injured cops and others and committed arson and looted and never got charged. All the career criminals who are let out of jail repeatedly, by lenient judges and politicians, and who go on to commit other violent crimes. The cartels at the border who run drugs, humans and guns across his open border and are now getting very rich indeed from human-smuggling fees.

Joe Biden's Political Obituary. Biden has profited from his own perfect storm of political pandering, a small-state electorate that easily is flattered, and Delaware's coteries of corporations and credit card companies. A distinguishing characteristic of Biden's five decades in public life is the remarkable fact that the man never developed a national constituency, neither during his interminable presence on C-SPAN as a Senate committee inquisitor nor in quadrennial grasping after presidential nominations. History will record that this political grifter succeeded, to the extent he has succeeded — that is to say, finally able to sit behind the Resolute desk — largely due to two factors not of his own design. The first propellant is the stranglehold of the press on public discourse. For two generations, the "national media" have shown their partisan fangs, running the gamut from liberal to radical. Biden has been the recipient of this largess and was spared any reasonable examination of his spectacular subnormality.

Biden muzzled: WH scraps presser with Canada, Mexico leaders amid prez blunders. The White House has abandoned plans for President Biden to hold a press conference Thursday with the visiting leaders of Mexico and Canada after his aides were left scrambling to clean up a series of misstatements. Biden, who turns 79 on Saturday, is known for going off-script and on Tuesday made imprecise remarks on Taiwan, the 2020 Olympics and his selection of a Federal Reserve chairman, forcing a mop-up operation by his spokespeople. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said last week that there would be a press conference when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador visit DC, before the plan was scrapped.

That 'Joe Biden Scraps Press Conference' Story Just Got a Whole Lot Worse. [Scroll down] We should not be finding out what happened during a White House-hosted event with leaders from other countries from those leaders. We should be able to find out directly from the White House, specifically the President of the United States himself. This is reminiscent of the cringe-inducing moment from a public appearance Biden made at the White House with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson in September where Johnson actually took questions from UK reporters and Biden's handlers proceeded to cut Johnson off so the American press wouldn't get the idea they could ask Biden some questions, too. When asked about the awkward moment later during a press briefing, Psaki actually had the nerve to blame Johnson and his staff for not "alerting" the White House that that's what he was going to do. And in a similar incident a few days later, Biden actually urged India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to take questions from the American press because, in Biden's words, the Indian press were "much better behaved" and the American press "won't ask any questions on point." Have I mentioned that none of this is normal? If not, let me do so now. None of this is normal.

Biden's Handlers Activate Hideout Plan for POTUS for Reason That Should Concern Everyone. President Joe Biden has become infamous both here at home and on the world stage for being gaffe-prone during public appearances where cringe-inducing moments are standard fare, including the times when Biden makes up stories out of whole cloth, utters extremely inappropriate comments that no one can explain, seems to forget what he's supposed to say and/or forgets the names of world leaders as they're listening to him speak. In many instances, his handlers have had to step in and take over, aggressively herding the media away like cattle during a roundup, awkwardly upstaging the leader of the free world at a time when this country needs a confident leader who can at the very least give off the appearance of being coherent, capable, and in control of his own thoughts when he appears before the cameras.

This Man Received 81 Million Votes? You can go to your daughter's dance recital and hear more applause than the pretend President, Joe Biden received in New Hampshire yesterday. [Video clip]

Only 40% of Americans believe Biden is in 'good health'. Three days ahead of his 79th birthday, a new poll finds voters are split on whether Joe Biden is mentally fit enough and healthy enough for the presidency. Only 40 percent of voters surveyed in a new Politico/Morning Consult poll agreed with the statement that Biden 'is in good health,' while 50 percent disagreed. Biden, who was the oldest person to assume the presidency when he was sworn into office at the age of 78, got a tougher rating when it came to his mental health.

Rules Are For Thee and Not For We. Check out this picture. As noted: No masks, no social distancing, not much diversity [except for the black man strategically placed behind Biden], no American flags.

Biden bans Nicaragua officials from traveling to U.S. following 'sham' election. President Joe Biden on Tuesday [11/16/2021] placed a travel ban on government officials from Nicaragua from entering the U.S. following Daniel Ortega's victory in what the White House called a "sham" election. In a presidential proclamation, Biden suspended travel for people who "formulate, implement, or benefit from policies or actions that undermine or injure democratic institutions or impede the return to democracy in Nicaragua." This ban includes anyone associated with Ortega's government, including local mayors, as well as their spouses and children. Biden criticized Ortega and his wife, Vice-President Rosario Murillo, for their crackdown on independent media, and the jailing of opposition leaders in the run-up to the presidential election.

The Editor says...
Joe Biden is in no position to criticize another country's "sham" election.

CBO Proves the Biden Administration Is Lying on Multiple Fronts. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has effectively declared that President Joe Biden, Co-President Ron Klain, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi are liars. Coincidentally avoiding discussion of catastrophes in the Middle East and along our southern border, Biden, Klain, and Pelosi have long insisted their Build Back Better social welfare boondoggle "costs nothing." [Video clip] Sane counter-arguments from sentient conservatives, explaining how the bill costs way more than nothing, have proven correct. "The White House has begun bracing lawmakers for a disappointing estimate from the budget office, which is likely to find that the cost of the overall package will not be fully paid for with new tax revenue over the coming decade. Senior administration officials are urging lawmakers to disregard the budget office assessment, saying it is being overly conservative in its calculations," the New York Times reported Tuesday [11/16/2021]. A formal score is expected Friday.

Biden Lies About His House Burning Down. As I've frequently said about Joe Biden, he keeps topping himself in terms of how low he can go. He was in Woodstock, New Hampshire talking about infrastructure, but slipping in some stuff that I think was also about climate change and how severe storms could be. [Video clip] "More fires in the West burned to the ground homes, businesses, and forests than the entire state of New Jersey," Biden said. Then he seemed to completely lose his train of thought. "Why is it happening? Well, the severe storms that are knocking down all the wires, anyway, there's a lot going on," Biden said, seemingly unable to finish whatever he'd had in his head. Biden then moved on to the importance of having bridges, Instead of saying, hey, you need it for your basic travel, he came up with a more extreme example. [Video clip]

Low and Slow Joe. Joe Biden's balance sheet coming into office was highly leveraged. With only average charisma and without a notable record, the former VP, in order to obtain what he needed against Donald Trump, issued Green energy and social policy notes to the left that were not merely difficult but practically impossible to redeem. When these nonproductive policies not only failed to pay off but created new liabilities (like the border crisis), Joe found moderate and conservative sources of support evaporating, forcing him to issue more promises on even more onerous terms to the only political lender remaining, the progressive left. What we are watching is an administration getting deeper into hock just to keep aloft. It needs energy desperately, but from where? Although Biden was probably aware that his partnership with the progressives would eventually run things down, he underestimated the rate at which his foreign policy would fail and 'renewable' energy would underperform, and how deep the damage to the supply chain caused by COVID-19 restrictions would be.

Kamala Harris camp leaks to press about racism among the Bidenites. As poll numbers sink for Joe Biden and fall even lower for Kamala Harris, it was only a matter of time before the fast-sinking USS Kamala started firing "racism" projectiles against the slightly less swiftly sinking USS Brandon. [...] That's about what one can expect of someone who's floundering in her job, has no sense of self-sufficiency outside the idea of winning the approval of older men, and is now whipping the "racism" stinger to coerce the approval she wants. Joe Biden, of course, is a racist. His latest ravings about Satchel Paige and his strange 1960s-style use of language declaring the man a "negro" pretty well sync with all his other racist statements about Indian gas station attendants, Barack Obama being "clean" and "articulate," and all that creepy stuff about being in a swimming pool full of black children discussing his leg hair. There was also his funeral paean to his friend, the late Ku Klux Klansman turned senator, Robert Byrd. Racism surrounds Biden like a miasma and has for decades. Kamala said nothing about any of that obvious stuff when she signed on to be Biden's vice president, but the minute she starts running into trouble in her own job, brought on by her own missteps and phoniness, she suddenly notices all this Biden "racism" to the press.

Absolutely INSANE levels of lying, misinformation, and dishonesty from the Biden administration. [Thread reader] Since the corporate media has no real interest in pointing it out, here's a list: Let's start with the lie that Biden wouldn't call for a federal vaxx mandate[.] Then President Elect Biden said in December of 2020 "No — I don't think it should be mandatory. I wouldn't demand it to be mandatory[.]" We all saw how that turned out[.] Going back to COVID response, we're also being sold a load of garbage over Biden's vaccine mandate: To begin, while this mandate makes no consideration for natural immunity, a recent CDC admission points how effective it actually is vs a vaccine: [Tweet] Case in point, first we were told: "You're not going to — you're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations." Now we're being told that people have to get vaccinated to protect the already-vaccinated. And yet, while there's a new push to vaccinate 5-11 year old kids (including Big Bird), there's very little discussion on the myocarditis risks. [Tweet] Then there was the massive whirlwind of lies about Ivermectin not being meant for human consumption. Never mind that it received a nobel prize in 2015 for its applications in treating human disease. Next, gain of function Fauci called Senator Paul a liar and said that they NIH did not fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Lab: We now know that to be false. But that's not all of the good doctor's dishonesty. Here's a reminder on how Fauci went back and forth on masks, changing his advice to fit the political narrative of the moment. This is CLEARLY not about science or your health. It's about compliance. [Tweet]

Jesse Watters predicts Joe Biden will be 'one of the worst' presidents of all time. Joe Biden is a horrible president. I've seen enough. On pace to be one of the worst of all time. Most of the country thinks he's incompetent, Democrats don't want him to run again; everyone's disappointed. We didn't think it would be this bad this fast. Everything — and I mean everything — he says he's going to do, he doesn't do. And everything he says is true, isn't true.

Manhattan art gallery abruptly cancels public viewing of Hunter Biden's art. Hunter Biden's latest grift, er, career as an artist is not exactly off to a strong start. Besides the obvious ethical challenges for the son of a sitting president offering his artwork for sale, Hunter's gallery showings are under scrutiny. Who is buying his artwork and are the purchases just meant to buy favor with the Big Guy? Hunter's first art show in Los Angeles, where he lives, was attended by a few celebrities and people described as "conservatively wealthy". Five pieces were sold for $75,000 each. That's the low-end stuff. His prices go up to $500,000.

When Ideologues Take Over, Life Gets Much Worse For Most People. How unpopular is Joe Biden as of tonight? Let's put it this way. He's only 10 points above the single most despised person in the United States, which is his own vice president. Jeffrey Epstein now has more admirers than Kamala Harris does, and that is the territory that Joe Biden now occupies. [...] Why are people so dissatisfied all of a sudden with Joe Biden? Well, the obvious answer is you're going to hear a lot of people say this Joe Biden is senile and ineffective. But if you think about it, that's not true. It can't really be true because voters knew perfectly well all along that Biden was doddering. They knew that when they elected him, it was obvious even then. In fact, it was part of his appeal. Biden was too slow to be threatening to anyone. This was not a guy who was going to be making a lot of sudden moves. If you secretly wished it was still 1985, Joe Biden was your man because he was under the impression that it actually was. So no, senility is not Joe Biden's main problem. Joe Biden's problem is weakness.

Biden's cobra presidency. Have you noticed how Joe Biden says he wants to lower gas prices, so he cancels the Keystone pipeline? He wants to lower unemployment, so he pays people not to work? He wants to beat inflation, so the Fed prints more money? Biden is President Perverse. The Cobra Effect is economics slang for "perverse incentives." If you give your kid money every time the kid misbehaves, that's a perverse incentive. [...] The resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave isn't just failing; he does the opposite of a competent president. He's perverse. Most of us are beginning to get that. The Afghan withdrawal was a classic lesson in how not to conduct a competent military withdrawal. This is perverse. You tell Americans you support the military, and you make the military look like bumbling fools. It's like the fat hippie admiral the left just created. Look at the photo, and you see perversity, the opposite of honor.

The unsolvable Democrat dilemma. It is becoming more obvious each day that Joe Biden cannot survive another 39 months in office. Even the most conservative Republicans admit that Joseph Biden will probably live at least another 46 months. However, Democrats, like everyone else, realize that Biden cannot now and never will be able to "execute the office of president of the United States," to quote the oath he took only nine months ago. Unfortunately for all Americans, the Constitution mandates what happens on the day they finally wheel Biden out of the Oval Office and into the Delaware State Home for the Bewildered. Kamala Harris becomes president. D.C. Democrats privately admit that, even on her best day, Ms. Harris does not have a small fraction of the talent required to be president. Her latest public appearance in Europe was a political and P.R. disaster. [...] The real problem is that Ms. Harris has neither the competency nor experience to hold 99% of any jobs available in American today.

Americans Want This President Out. No one should be puzzled by the poll's results. Americans are weary of Biden's inflation, his border crisis and unforced foreign policy errors, a supply chain and a COVID promise that have both been broken, his failed energy policies, his undermining of policing and law and order across the country, his divisiveness and hard-left swerve, his "woke" military, a shaky economy, and his vaccine mandate, to name but a handful of his more notable failures. Count us as being among those who wish to see Biden leave the White House as soon as possible. But his replacement would be no better. There's a reason Vice President Kamala Harris has an approval rating of 28, 10 points lower than the approval rating of her boss, the man Americans want to be rid of.

Our Racist-In-Chief Biden Refers To Black Baseball Player Satchel Paige As 'The Great Negro At The Time' — No MSM Coverage. Just a few moments ago our racist in President Joe Biden once again went off script and told a bizarre story during his Veterans Day speech about former Negro League baseball Satchel Paige. "You know I've adopted the attitude of the great negro at the time, pitcher in the negro league, went on to become a great pitcher in the pros, Major League Baseball, after Jackie Robinson," Biden said. "His name was Satchel Paige." Paige played Major League Baseball for 6 years after a 20-year career in the leagues for black players, commonly known as the "Negro League". Biden was referring to Paige's age at the time of his rookie season in Major League Baseball, basically that age is only a number.

We Must End the Biden Nightmare. I'd take mean tweets any day over this clown show. So far, we've had crisis after crisis engulf the country and Joe Biden is incapable of doing the job. He either doesn't know what's going on or worse — he forgets. Inflation is eating away at the paychecks of American workers. We have a global supply chain crisis. We have an anemic economy, and the southern border is still a total and complete fiasco with millions of illegals invading. Biden seems to think that the media is at fault because they're not writing about these disasters in glowing terms, or something. That's his top worry. Yet, we can't waste time laughing at the Democrats' disasters. Even if they're crashing into walls like brain-dead zombies, this party that hates America still controls the entire government and is destroying the country... for now.

Biden concedes that his stimulus checks fueled spike in inflation. President Joe Biden [...] on Wednesday [11/10/2021] [...] in Baltimore also admitted that his decision to send out stimulus checks contributed to the current high inflation. 'The irony is people have more money now because of the first major piece of legislation I passed. 'You all got checks for $1,400. You got checks for a whole range of things,' Biden said, referencing his COVID relief checks sent out in April.

The Editor says...
Printing money, and then passing that money around to everybody, is exactly what causes inflation. The rapid inflation now being experienced in the United States is entirely the fault of the Harris-Biden-Obama administration, and is almost certainly intentional.

Biden's America: Illegal Aliens [are] Worth More than U.S. Soldiers. The Biden administration is considering payments of $450,000 to illegal aliens — per person — for "immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration" after illegal entering into the United States. The payments would be part of a settlement of a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of illegal alien families. The total settlement amount is reported to be at least $1 billion of federal taxpayer funds. On November 4, 2021, President Joe Biden told reporters that payments to families separated at the Mexico border are, "Not gonna' happen." When pressed further concerning the likelihood such payments would actually encourage more migrants to try to cross into the United States, Biden said, "If you guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah. But it's not true." Within 24 hours, the White House reversed itself completely and claimed that Biden was "perfectly comfortable" making the settlement payments. This situation raises, again, the question of whether Biden has any idea what administration officials around him are doing. It appears that officials who actually run the government are making decisions and acting on major public policy issues without telling the president.

Kevin Hassett: Biden is making policy errors never seen before by economists. President Biden will sign the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill into law during a ceremony at the White House on Monday while Democrats try to muster enough votes to get another massive social spending bill to his desk. Kevin Hassett, a distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution and former senior economic adviser to President Trump, discussed Biden's ambition on "The Ingraham Angle." [Video clip]

Joe Biden Said It: He 'Should Not Remain As President'. [At Joe Biden's last debate on Oct. 22, 2020, with then-President Donald Trump], Biden went on to proclaim that the only reason all those people died was that Trump had failed to do things such as test people and issue mask mandates. "What I would do," he said, "is make sure we have everyone encouraged to wear a mask all the time. I would make sure we move into the direction of rapid testing, investing in rapid testing. I would make sure that we set up national standards as to how to open up schools and open up businesses so they can be safe and give them the wherewithal, the financial resources to be able to do that." Then he declared: "And so, folks, I will take care of this. I will end this." If you hear nothing else Biden said that night, hear this: "I will end this." That promise, more than anything else, got Biden into the White House. Fast forward to today. Biden has been in office nearly 10 months, and how has he done at "ending this"? Over those months, more than 21 million people have contracted COVID-19. More than 332,000 of them died from the disease. Recently Biden's own (fully vaxxed) press secretary tested positive for COVID, as did an aide who'd been traveling abroad with the president.

When was the last time Joe Biden pumped gas? How much did he pay — maybe 50 cents a gallon?
Joe Biden Marvels at $4.50 a Gallon Gas Prices: 'Did You Ever Think You'd Be Paying this Much?' President Joe Biden marveled at the high cost of gas on Wednesday, without offering any solutions for lowering prices. "Did you ever think you'd be paying this much for a gallon of gas?" Biden said. "In some parts of California, they're paying $4.50 a gallon." [...] Biden did not mention his administration's actions to reduce domestic production of oil, such as suspending gas and oil leases on federal land and closing the Keystone XL pipeline.

Team Biden and its media apologists blame you for supply shortages the White House refuses to fix. Worried about the shortages of goods due to the supply chain crisis? You're right to be. But instead of fixing the problem, President Joe Biden and his team are blaming you for it — and telling Americans to just suck it up. It's outrageous. And short-sighted. The images of hundreds of cargo ships waiting to be unloaded isn't one of those economic issues ordinary people have a hard time understanding. The inability of the transportation system to handle the flow of goods shipped from manufacturers is threatening to not only make it harder to get ordinary items consumers count on but also to short-circuit the annual end-of-year shopping season. The shortages are feeding worries around kitchen tables across the country. But according to the Biden administration and its apologists, the real villains aren't the people who are supposed to ensure things like this don't happen in the world's richest and freest nation; it's your fault for wanting to give gifts or buy new things.

Hunter Biden makes flashy NYC art scene debut at gallery show for his pricey paintings. It was a family affair Wednesday when Hunter Biden finally showed up at the Manhattan art gallery where his novice paintings are being offered for up to $500,000 each amid concerns about influence-peddling by the president's son. Biden, 51, carried his 1-1/2-year-old son Beau on his shoulders as he, wife Melissa Cohen and daughter Maisy Biden were escorted by owner George Berges into his eponymous Soho storefront for a party more than two weeks after the exhibition opened to a mere trickle of prospective buyers. About 60 guests gathered for the belated event, including President Biden's younger sister, Valerie Biden Owens, and reality TV star Meghan King of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

White House Still Unclear When Joe Biden Will Get a Physical. The White House remains elusive about the timing of a physical exam for President Joe Biden, as more Americans question his physical and mental health. The White House previously said last May Biden would get a physical before the end of the year and in October, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said it would be "soon." Biden will turn 79 on November 20. Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday [11/9/2021] she had no update about an upcoming physical for the president.

People Don't Want to be Cold. The climate summit was expensive, energy-burning theater. One hundred eighteen private jets flew into the airport, President Joe Biden's motorcade had 24 vehicles, including SUVs and vans, and Greta Thunberg was angry. Demonstrators denounced Israel, which recycles and reuses 90 percent of its wastewater while ignoring the Palestinian pastime of burning tires containing multiple carcinogens. Sustainability, less, new technologies, clean technologies, and more less (yes, more less) were the watchwords. Use less, do with less. The President should have touted America's successes in reducing emissions: From 2005 to 2018, total U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions fell 12% while global energy-related emissions increased nearly 24%. Since 2005, national greenhouse gas emissions fell by 10%, and power sector emissions by 27% — as the US economy grew by 25%. He should have compared that to China's announcement of 30 new, polluting coal-fired power plants and China being the world's biggest polluter. Xi Jinping, naturally enough, was a no-show. The president should have stood up for his people. Our people.

Joe Biden just keeps on lying to the American public. President Biden appears to be suffering from a bad case of malarkey syndrome. A textbook example was presented last week when he was asked about his administration's proposal to pay up to $450,000 compensation per person to illegal migrant families that had been separated under the Trump administration. It was "garbage," "not true" and "not gonna happen," he told Fox News' Peter Doocy at a White House press conference Wednesday [11/3/2021]. The president was so emphatic, it seemed to be an open-and-shut case. The Wall Street Journal's story revealing the Department of Justice negotiations with migrant families must be wrong. But not so fast. If you are familiar enough with the president's blarney, you may have picked up the sleight of hand in his answer. Doocy had asked about payments of "up to" $450,000. Biden repeated the question back to him, without the qualifier, but with a sly smirk: "$450,000 per person, is that what you're saying? That's not gonna happen."

Purposeful Crisis Keeps Unfolding as Biden's Irrelevant Polling Keeps Collapsing. We are witnessing a very specific type of electoral frustration caused by officials within a system attempting to stop a communist style fundamental change by taking action within the same system simultaneously collapsing through the actions of the communists. [...] The Obama plan to use Biden as a disposable figure was designed for one specific four year term of maximum damage. The polling is irrelevant. Evidence of this purpose is found in the White House telling businesses to continue operating as if the vaccine mandate is legally authorized, despite a court ordered injunction against it. We are in a post-constitutional system now where the traditional checks and balances are ignored. This is a very Machiavellian approach being deployed against the American people.

Biden tells businesses to obey him, not court orders, on his vaccine mandate. Joe Biden's insentience and incompetence are pretty obvious these days but he's also showing some delusions of grandeur. Here's what he had the nerve to put out when he didn't like a judge's stay on his vaccine mandate: ["]The White House on Monday said businesses should move forward with President Joe Biden's vaccine and testing requirements for private businesses, despite a federal appeals court ordering a temporary halt to the rules.["] [...] So everybody employed in a company with more than 100 people either gets vaxxed or gets fired as Biden's vax mandate insists. Never mind if the judge moves to uphold the court challenge.

Biden's $450,000 'garbage'. For Joe Biden, reports of $450,000 payouts to illegal border crossers are "garbage" — as is the suggestion that any such payouts would incentive more illegal border crossing. Biden's [mendacious] response came as a result of a question from Fox News's Peter Doocy: [Tweet with video clip.] [...] Never mind that the original report came not from some blog but from the Wall Street Journal. It's "garbage," Joe says. Move along. Yet House Republicans are taking action to stop it. And the left-wing lawyers crafting these payouts are protesting.

Biden's Response to a Question About Giving $450,000 to Illegal Aliens in DOJ Settlement Case Should Alarm Everyone. During a press conference this afternoon, to promote vaccines for children 5 to 11 years old, Fox News journalist Peter Ducey [sic] asked Joe Biden about the DOJ settlement agreement with ACLU and immigration lawyers to pay illegal aliens $450,000 per person as compensation for their pain and suffering. You need to watch Joe Biden's response carefully, because what he said should alarm everyone. Within the response which includes "that's not going to happen", it is clear that Joe Biden has absolutely NO IDEA what the journalist was talking about. From the position of Joe Biden, the Fox reporter was speaking 'fake news'. [Video clip]

Biden labels report government to pay separated immigrants $450,000 'garbage'. President Biden responded Wednesday to a report that suggested his administration was mulling whether to make $450,000 payments to immigrants who were separated from their families at the border under former President Trump's administration, calling the reporting "garbage" and saying that it is "not gonna happen." Following remarks at the White House where he urged parents to get their children vaccinated, Biden was asked by Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy about the Wall Street Journal's report and whether he believes it "might incentivize" immigrants to attempt to enter America illegally. Biden responded, "If you guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah, but it's not true."

Biden: $450K to illegal immigrants? "Garbage report"! NYT, ACLU: *Ahem*. "Garbage" in, garbage out, I suppose. Joe Biden thought he'd scored a point on Fox News by telling Peter Doocy, and ended up with looking clueless about his own administration. Biden tried to blame Fox for incentivizing illegal immigration by filing a "garbage" report that his administration would pay $450,000 per person in a settlement over separated families in the Trump administration. There were only two problems with Biden's argument. First, it got reported by the Wall Street Journal, not Fox. And second, [...]

Joseph Biden - AKA President Gremlin. I've been telling everyone I know that Joe Biden is the dumbest chief executive to ever occupy the office. I thought that was obvious, but I've gotten an amazing amount of pushback from other writers, friends, and even complete strangers. It seems there's a widely held opinion by many, that everything Joe has done to America has been by design. Joe's performance has been quite competent if you look at it from his perspective. He's a mastermind at transforming America into the left's vision of a socialist utopia.

The Editor says...
Joe Biden is still an incompetent doofus, whether he's completely senile or not. His "transforming America" agenda is apparently being executed by Barack H. Obama and Company, with the understanding that Biden will take all the credit (and eventually, the blame).

Biden reaches for the cheat sheets again and calls on reporters from a pre-approved list. President Joe Biden once again seemed to rely on a cheat sheet of 'pre-approved' reporters as he held a press conference at the conclusion of the G20 summit in Rome on Sunday [10/31/2021]. Biden spoke with various world leaders about climate change goals ahead of the COP26 summit United Nations Climate Change conference to be held this week in Glasgow, Scotland. As he opened up the floor to questions, at the start of the the press conference, the president seemed to be using a pre-ordained list of correspondents to call on.

Gaslighting:
'Joe was not only wide awake, but on fire!' White House climate adviser Gina McCarthy reacts to footage showing the President 'nodding off'. White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy said Tuesday morning [11/2/2021] that President Joe Biden was 'wide awake' after he was seemingly caught snoozing during a session at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow Monday afternoon. 'When I saw the president yesterday, he wasn't just wide awake, but he was really on fire,' she told Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski without prompting. 'He's really excited to have the United States in action here in Glasgow.' Brzezinski didn't ask McCarthy directly about the video of Biden that went viral, where he looked to be dozing off as one speaker underscored the importance of taking action on climate change.

Biden Claims He Was Late for G20 Meeting After "Playing with Elevators" — No One Believes Him. It sounds like a Halloween horror flick — Joe Biden had problems on an elevator and that was why he was late to a meeting with the G20 leaders. Unfortunately, no one believes him. Joe Biden was late for another meeting, this time with the G20. He's notably late for every meeting he attends per FOX News: [...] This time Joe was late for the G20. So he claimed the following: I apologize to keep you waiting," said Biden, who showed up more than 20 minutes late. "We were playing with elevators. Long story, anyway." Who really knows with Biden what's the truth.

Biden's accident. The story starts with our president meeting the pope at the Vatican, presumably to discuss Jesus's thoughts about climate change and whether one can claim to be a good Catholic while facilitating the dismemberment of unborn babies. Three things stood out about the meeting. One is that the Vatican canned the traditional live footage of the event, instead providing only still shots and small snippets of conversation between the two pale, frail old men. In one snippet, Biden told the pope he (Pope Francis) was now talking to the only Catholic who's never had a drink. [...] Odd thing #2 is that the Biden meeting was much longer than the pope's previous meetings with Orange Man Bad and the Lightbringer. [...] The third strange item is Vatican photos that appear to show Biden wearing a blue suit and later, in the same meeting, wearing a black one. Now, why would an old, feeble man need to change his pants?

Biden's weird weekend in Rome. Biden's weekend in Rome took on an increasingly surreal quality as the weekend progressed. The weirdness started on Saturday when he arrived with an 85-car entourage to attend a G20 summit that was purportedly focused on "climate change" (or, more likely, focused on using climate change to increase political power), followed by Biden's marginalized status for the group photo op. By Sunday, Biden missed an important photo op, claimed he was playing elevator games, used a reference to Mussolini while in Rome, may have been a COVID carrier when he met with the Pope, and had an ugly rumor following him. After almost vanishing from Saturday's photo op, Biden vanished entirely from Sunday's photo op at Rome's famous Trevi fountain.

Two polls of interest. A new NBC News poll shows that Joe Biden's approval among American adults has fallen to 42 percent. 54 percent disapprove. This represents a remarkable shrinkage. In August the same pollsters found America split 49-48 on Biden's performance, with the marginally larger percentage approving of it. In April, they found that Americans approved of Biden's performance, 53-39. Now, only 40 percent of adults approve of Biden's handling of the economy.

How Low Can Joe Biden's Polls Go Before Democrats Tap the Brakes? As Democrats contemplate the potential for a stinging loss in the Virginia gubernatorial election, the party appears to remain utterly tone-deaf to the feedback it gets through public polling as they rush to pass President Joe Biden's spending bills. New polling from NBC, ABC, and Rasmussen demonstrate just how badly Democrats misinterpreted their mandate in 2020.

The Editor says...
The country is suffering under Joe Biden like it never would have under Trump. Inflation, immigration, vaccine mandates, school board tyranny, and other stuff — all of it was avoidable. But the Democrats know they can still rig the elections every two years, so it doesn't matter if their policies are rough on the general public. It doesn't matter if Joe Biden hides at Camp David three days a week, and can't speak a coherent sentence. It doesn't matter if nobody shows up for a Joe Biden rally on behalf of himself or someone else. It doesn't matter if nobody believes the news coverage of Biden's great "accomplishments." If the elections are fixed, and the outcomes are pre-determined, none of that matters. That's why the Democrats aren't worried about low approval ratings. Poll numbers don't matter!

Biden And The US Are Laughing Stock For The Rest Of The World. Sky News Australia had a good laugh at America's expense thanks to the mumbling, bumbling buffoon, [...] Joe Biden. [Video clip]

Biden Tries to Explain Driving Cross-Country in an Electric Car, It Goes Horribly Wrong. As gas prices soar across the country, President Joe Biden attempted to explain the benefits of electric cars. Predictably, his explanation was more confusing than it was helpful. Biden was giving a speech Thursday [10/28/2021] describing his two massive spending sprees, also known as the Build Back Better plan and infrastructure bill. According to a White House transcript, Biden was describing the need to replace buses and cars with electric alternatives like rail and electric cars. "When you buy an electric vehicle, you can go across America on a single tank of gas, figuratively speaking," Biden said. "It's not gas. You plug it in." [Video clip]

The Only Thing Biden Has Left Is Trump. Biden wants to talk about one person these days, and that person isn't Biden. Then again, what does he possibly have to brag about? Shutting down COVID? [...] Is Biden going to brag about overseeing what promises to be the weakest economic recovery since the last time he was put in charge of such things? Rather than looking for ways to create more opportunities for American workers, the president has been clamoring to put millions of them on the dole. Is the president going to talk about the border? Is he once again going to explain how high inflation is actually a positive development for most consumers? Is he going to brag about his foreign policy? When was the last time an American president abandoned hundreds of U.S. citizens to a terror regime? After 13 service members were murdered by terrorists in Kabul, due in part to his administration's stark incompetence, we proceeded to accidentally kill seven children in retaliation. The terrorists disappeared only slightly faster than the media coverage.

Joe Biden is hopelessly out of touch with voters' priorities. Inflation is at its highest level in decades. Store shelves are empty. The southern border is in chaos. Hundreds of Americans are still trapped in Afghanistan. China just tested a hypersonic missile. Employers can't find workers to keep their businesses running. No wonder more than 60% say the country is going in the wrong direction. But don't worry: President Joe Biden has a "National Gender Strategy" that will turn everything around. The document, released on Oct. 22, is every bit as ridiculous as it sounds. [...] The agenda in the document is, at heart, the same tired laundry list of new government programs that the Left has been trying to force on the nation for decades using other specious justifications. Nowhere does the "strategy" address inflation or the border crisis. The only time COVID-19 is even mentioned is when the document asserts that no one has suffered more from the pandemic than "women and girls of color." And that's not even true — the data indicate that men are more likely to die from COVID.

Let's Just Admit Why Biden Was Elected, America. Joe Biden was elected — I will not relitigate the "stolen election" debate in this article — for one reason: to get rid of Donald Trump. Period. The Democrat Party could have nominated a blind, intellectually disabled squirrel, and the results of the 2020 election would not have changed. But let's be clear: No one loves Joe Biden. Moreover, everyone from White House officials to members of Biden's cabinet to Democrat lawmakers on Capitol Hill to the sock puppets of the so-called "mainstream" media is terrified every time Corn Pop's pal opens his mouth — at which time he invariably mumbles something else stupid and/or incoherent.

The Editor says...
If all that is true, and the Democrat nominee couldn't possibly lose (because of Trump and/or because the election was stolen), the next question is why was Joe Biden, of all people ordained as the nominee, and not Robert F. "Beto" O'Rourke or Valerie Jarrett or Alfred E. Newman?

Biden Meets the Pope and Utters One of the Most Embarrassing Lines Ever Said by a President. Now we know why the Pope canceled a live broadcast with Biden on Thursday. When Joe Biden met with the Pope, he uttered a line that is so awkward that it defies belief. [...] Did the Pope take one look at the beleaguered U.S. president and decide that it wasn't worth the risk going live? Was there a personal disagreement? There were no reasons given.

Vatican Abruptly Cancels Live Broadcast of Biden Meeting with Pope without Explanation. President Biden had dropped everything, including dealing with multiple crises at home, to jet abroad to Europe for summits in Rome, Italy and Glasgow, Scotland, where presumably would be more popular than he currently is at home. But a strange thing happened on Thursday [10/28/2021] when the Pope suddenly canceled a live broadcast with the U.S. president without providing an explanation. The Washington Post reported on the odd occurrence: [...] Did the Pope take one look at the beleaguered U.S. president and decide that it wasn't worth the risk going live? Was there a personal disagreement? There were no reasons given. Biden has met Pope Francis three previous time, but this would be his first time as president. Biden is also the second Catholic President, although one would not necessarily have guessed that from his progressive views on abortion and gay marriage.

D'oh Biden. So much has gone wrong so quickly, it's hard to remember we are only nine months into Joe Biden's presidency. Less than one-third of the country now thinks America is "on the right track," according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls. That's a dramatic deterioration since last spring, and a disturbing one, not only for the Biden and his party but for the country. Three developments are driving this collapse in confidence. First, Biden is pursuing a self-proclaimed strategy to "transform" America despite his campaign promises to bring the country together, stress bipartisanship, and restore comity and normality. That's not what he's done. He's tried to force big, progressive changes, a strategy that was bound to be divisive since he didn't campaign on that platform or win a congressional mandate to pursue it. Second, all Biden's major policies so far have failed — some spectacularly. He can point to no major triumphs to offset them. Third, Biden himself has been unable to mount an effective, coherent defense of his administration and its priorities.

America Gone Mad. After three weeks in Europe and extensive discussions with dozens of well-informed and highly placed individuals from most of the principal Western European countries, including leading members of the British government, I have the unpleasant duty of reporting complete incomprehension and incredulity at what Joe Biden and his collaborators encapsulate in the peppy but misleading phrase, "We're back." As one eminent elected British government official put it, "They are not back in any conventional sense of that word. We have worked closely with the Americans for many decades and we have never seen such a shambles of incompetent administration, diplomatic incoherence, and complete military ineptitude as we have seen in these nine months. We were startled by Trump, but he clearly knew what he was doing, whatever we or anyone else thought about it. This is just a disintegration of the authority of a great nation for no apparent reason."

Is Jill Biden asking about a 'process' for removing Kamala Harris? [Scroll down] If the report is true, that's some White House they've got there over in the Biden administration. Not only is Biden struggling to hold his badly split Democrat Congress together to pass his signature porkulus infrastructure and reconciliation bill with progressives reportedly in a rage, but he's also beset by infighting in his own White House, with the two main players trying to get rid of one another. Call it the White House of the long knives. As a lagniappe, we already know that Harris and Jill Biden can't stand each other.

Psaki and Co. Falsely Imply Biden Is Accessible to the Press. It's been 102 days since President Joe Biden held a formal press conference from the White House. Since July, he has regularly made major policy announcements from the lectern, only to turn his back and walk away as reporters shout questions. [Video clips] But Biden's lack of transparency isn't stopping his press team from saying he "answers questions" and implying he is available to the White House press corps. During a briefing at the White House Tuesday [10/26/2021], Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed Biden regularly answers questions from reporters.

The Editor says...
Even "a formal press conference from the White House" is a choreographed charade, with the alleged President calling upon pre-ordained reporters to ask pre-arranged questions, in a predetermined order, for which the so-called President has prescribed answers. The entire exercise is a sham. It is all a performance, engineered to make the sock puppet appear to have just the right answer to any question.

Democrat Nightmare: They Went to Bed with Obama, Woke Up with Biden. On Wednesday [10/20/2021], President Biden traveled to Scranton, Pennsylvania, to sell his doomed "human infrastructure" bill, which smells more like an un-showered Green New Deal and quacks like another welfare boondoggle. "The cost of the Build Back Better bill in terms of adding to the deficit is zero, zero, zero," he lied, lied, lied. "Because we're going to pay for it all." Well, yes, you better believe we are going to pay for it. Just not in the way Mr. Biden claims. This bill is "paid for" — just like every other dime of the $28 trillion in debt these dirty louts have racked up in your name over the past several decades. While in Scranton, Mr. Biden ambled down memory lane. And ambled and ambled and ambled. Old stuttering nicknames. Family lore. Uncles in the kitchen. Grandmas and laced doilies at the dining room table. All fairly incomprehensible.

Hunter Biden's art dealer claims to be the only person to know the identity of president's son's art buyers. Hunter Biden's art dealer was photographed wearing a Camp David hat after Joe Biden visited the presidential retreat — sparking questions whether the controversial gallerist joined the first family there. The picture was shared on Instagram — two days before Hunter's long-anticipated exhibition made a surprise opening at Bergès gallery in SoHo on Saturday — by renowned gossip columnist and celebrity interviewer George Wayne, who claims to have introduced Hunter to the dealer, Georges Bergès. 'GB shows up wearing a fabulous cap emblazoned with the Presidential seal and the words Camp David Presidential Retreat 46 all over it,' Wayne wrote.

Nine months that shook the world: A list of Biden's failures. [For example,] Hunter Biden: Just last week a New York art gallery began selling his paintings. Influence peddling is a long tradition of the Biden family. Who will buy Hunter's artwork? Kamala Harris: Biden's vice president, the Queen of Cackles, was put in charge of the southern border. How is that working out? Biden turns 79 next month and Harris is a heartbeat away from succeeding him. He could have of course done worse with a running mate choice, but Biden also could have done so much better. Cognitive decline. The spin has been off of Joe Biden's fastball — and that pitch was never a commanding one — for a few years now. On a mental level things will only get worse for him. Is Biden running the White House? If not then who is? Or is no one in charge? Why haven't we heard from Biden's doctor, Kevin C. O'Connor?

Biden Busts Out Some Whopping Personal Lies. President Biden tells many lies. I despair of listing all of them; nobody can. [...] I want to write here about four autobiographical lies that, despite previous public rebuttal, he keeps repeating. [...] Lies unravel when they are repeated and the details differ. Such is the case here. Why does Biden keep telling these lies when they are so easily fact-checked?

Hiding in plain sight:
Biden's Town Hall Did Really Poorly in the Ratings. For some reason, the White House thought it would be a good idea to schedule President Joe Biden's town hall when millions of Americans were watching sports, including postseason baseball. Sure enough, the CNN town hall performed terribly in the ratings, according to Joe Concha. [...] Besides containing tidbits even CNN had to fact-check, the town hall further revealed a lack of willingness from the administration to expand its horizons. As was also highlighted, Biden has done a select amount of interviews an appearances, limited to certain networks. Those the president did take questions from on Thursday were mostly Democrats.

Biden Holds "Invisible Ice Cream Cones" During CNN Town Hall Event, Gets Trolled Online. During his train wreck of a town hall with CNN, President Joe Biden had a bizarre moment where he stood like a statue with his arms bent at 90 degrees. The pose looked as if Biden was holding imaginary ice cream cones in both hands.

Articles of Impeachment Accusing President Biden of 'Treason' Have Been Introduced in the House of Representatives. President Biden has been hit with formal impeachment charges and has been accused of "treason." The Articles of Impeachment have been filed in the House of Representatives. The impeachment charges were announced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Friday [10/22/2021]. "I have introduced House Res. 57, these are Articles of Impeachment on President Biden," Rep. Greene said. "For abuse of power in regards to his willingness to use his position of power to aid his son Hunter Biden in his business dealings." "I have also introduced another Article of Impeachment on President Biden, which is H. Res 597," she continued. "This has to do with the national security crisis that President Biden has created with regards to the extreme threat at the southern border." "I have introduced House Res. 598, Articles of Impeachment on President Biden in regards to the failure in Afghanistan," Rep. Greene went on. "And I have introduced House Res. 596, Articles of Impeachment on President Biden for the Covid eviction moratorium and his willingness to use his position to try to do what he shouldn't be doing. We have three branches of power."

Report: Joe Biden Builds 'Wall' Around His Delaware Beach House, Makes America Pay for It. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reportedly shelled out $456,548 to a construction company in Delaware to install a fence around President Biden's Delaware beach house, according to newly-released records. A federal contract, reported by the local Cape Gazette on Thursday [10/21/2021] and by the New York Post on Friday, shows that DHS awarded $456,548 to the recipient, Turnstone Holdings, LLC, according to USA Spending, a website that tracks federal spending.

Bidens flying to Delaware for weekend visit. President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden will fly to Delaware on Friday night [10/22/2021] for a weekend visit to their home near Greenville. According to the White House schedule, the Bidens will arrive at the National Guard base at New Castle Airport at 8:55 p.m. after departing from the South Lawn of the White House about an hour earlier. Flight restrictions are in place in a portion of Delaware and adjacent areas into Monday. Biden's visits to Delaware typically come with no public schedule.

Biden delays release of JFK assassination records, blaming COVID-19 pandemic. The US will "unfortunately" continue to delay the public release of records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and officials say the COVID-19 pandemic is to blame. The move was announced in a memo signed by President Joe Biden and released by the White House Friday [10/22/2021]. "Temporary continued postponement is necessary to protect against identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in immediate disclosure," Biden wrote. In 1992, Congress ruled that "all Government records concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy ... should be eventually disclosed to enable the public to become fully informed about the history surrounding the assassination," the missive said.

White House further postpones disclosure of JFK assassination documents, citing Covid. The White House announced late Friday that it would further postpone the release of more documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, pointing to the "significant impact" of the Covid-19 pandemic. President Joe Biden issued a memo that said the national archivist recommended he "'direct two public releases of the information that has ultimately 'been determined to be appropriate for release to the public.'" The first will be an "interim release" later this year, with a second, "more comprehensive release in late 2022," the memo said. The memo said that the Covid-19 pandemic has slowed down the process of reviewing whether redactions continue to meet the "statutory standard."

The Editor says...
Pardon my perpetual skepticism: Joe Biden — or whoever is running the Executive Branch — has decided to keep these documents up his or her sleeve until the next major Biden scandal. Only then will they be released, for the purpose of pushing that scandal off the front pages of America's few remaining newspapers. And if that doesn't work, a few days later, NASA will announce they're discovered life on Jupiter — which none of us can disprove. But if no need arises for this future JFK document dump, and Covid is long gone, there will be a "computer glitch" or "Russian hacker" someday, and all the documents will conveniently disappear. Think for a moment: What decision cannot be made due to Covid? The Kennedy assassination happened in 1963. There has been plenty of time to review what is in the documents, and to come up with excuses to keep them secret. Covid has nothing to do with it.

Psaki walks back Biden's town hall words: President does not have the power to mobilize National Guard to fix shortages. The White House has walked back a number of remarks President Biden made in a CNN town hall Thursday night [10/21/2021]. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday Biden is 'not actively pursuing' bringing in the National Guard to deal with product shortages. 'Any president has the ability to use the National Guard from the federal level. Requesting the use of the National Guard at the state level, which is often how its done, is under the preview of governors and we're not actively asking them to do that and we're not actively pursuing the use of the National Guard on a federal level,' she said.

Biden Mocks Freedom in Twisted Train Wreck of a Town Hall. Somehow, someone made the decision to let Joe Biden out and to go to a CNN town hall. I'm not sure who thought this was a good idea. But even within the friendly confines of CNN, it was a complete train wreck — even by Biden standards. Naturally, most of the questions from folks in the audience were Democrats or softball questions. But there were some highlights and it was disastrous.

Biden exposes himself on national TV. Last night, CNN held an invitation-only "town hall" for Biden in Baltimore. The audience was beyond friendly, the questions were obviously vetted, and Anderson Cooper was there to hold Biden's hand. And still, as the RNC's Twitter feed reveals, Biden repeatedly showcased his weirdness, incipient dementia, inability to lead, and sheer heartlessness.

Biden says cops and emergency responders should be fired for not getting the vaccine. President Joe Biden said police officers and emergency workers who refuse COVID-19 vaccination should stay home or be fired, as he answered questions during a CNN town hall on Thursday evening [10/21/2021]. 'Yes and yes,' he said to a thunderous round of applause. 'By the way, I waited until July, to talk about mandating, because I tried everything else possible. 'Mandates are working.' Biden traveled to Baltimore for the town hall, where he delivered his most wide-ranging update yet on talks to break the deadlock on his mammoth social spending plans.

The Editor says...
[#1] "Biden traveled to Baltimore" for the so-called Town Hall meeting. That's not a lot of traveling, especially aboard a helicopter, and it's not as if Mr. Biden had to pay for the travel costs. [#2] "Town Hall" is what CNN calls a shamelessly one-sided infomercial for some person or idea they want to promote, with an audience that's chock full of Democrat activists. NBC and ABC have done the same for Biden. Search for "town hall" on the Astroturf page for examples.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland Claims Conflict of Interest Ethics Rules Do Not Apply to Biden Administration. Representative Mike Johnson (R-LA) questioned U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland about his clear conflict of interest today surrounding the Attorney General's instructions for FBI agents to investigate parents who question school board curriculum. Merrick Garland's daughter is married to the co-founder of the Critical Race Theory educational material being purchased by the school boards. The exact CRT material being directly challenged by the parents Garland has instructed the FBI to investigate. In a clear conflict of interest, Merrick Garland is using his office to protect the income and investments of his son-in-law's business. However, when questioned about this conflict today, Merrick Garland says he will refuse to accept any ethical review of his conduct.

Biden family corruption is an elephant the media works to 'disappear'. This week marked an anniversary of one of the greatest political tricks in history: the disappearance of Hunter Biden scandals. One year after the New York Post broke the story, new emails were recently released that added new details to what was a raw influence-peddling operation which netted millions of dollars from foreign sources. A new tranche of emails connecting President Joe Biden to key accounts prove just how this political sleight of hand was worthy of Harry Houdini. [...] The Bidens made a full-sized scandal disappear, with the help of media members who did not want the public to see it. Twitter banned links to reports about the laptop until after Biden was elected president. The media dismissed the story as a "conspiracy theory" with some mocking to boot. [...] The laptop is, of course, now recognized as genuine — even by some of the early deniers. Hunter remains under criminal investigation for possible tax and money laundering violations. But the greatest "reveal" is the person referred to as "the Big Guy" and "Celtic" in these emails: President Joe Biden.

Hunter Biden pitched himself as expert in Russian oligarch targeted by FBI. Hunter Biden boasted he could provide intelligence on the shady Russian oligarch whose Greenwich Village townhouse was raided by the FBI on Tuesday [10/19/2021]. The president's son said he could provide Alcoa, a giant US aluminium firm, with knowledge about the "elite networks" connected to Oleg Deripaska in a proposal from his company Rosemont Seneca, emails on Hunter's laptop show. Federal agents carried out "law enforcement activity" on Tuesday at the Gay Street townhouse and a Washington mansion tied to Deripaska, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Deripaska was investigated for money laundering and extortion and sanctioned by the US in 2018. A spokesperson for Deripaska told the Associated Press that the searches were "connected to U.S. sanctions" and that the homes didn't belong to him but belonged to relatives.

There's a Reason Why Most Don't Know About Joe Biden's Secret Flights. We all know the border is a mess. [...] Of all the crises engulfing this White House, this one was avoidable. Biden just decided to create a new one because a) he is a legitimate moron, and b) he wanted to show the Democratic base he wasn't Trump. Well, Trump had it right on the border and nothing says failure than scurrying around a bunch of illegals in the dead of night to avoid the press. For weeks, the Biden administration has been transporting illegal minors in the dead of night, but The New York Post did some digging around. [...] Send them home, Joe. That's what you should do, but you won't. You probably don't know what's going on, just like in Afghanistan, just like with your jobs plan, just like with spiking inflation, or the global supply chain crisis. You don't know because you cannot do the job. You're mentally too slow. You're inept. And you cannot do this from the basement. Also, you need to answer questions.

Sometimes it pays to have a vacuum at the top. The Democrat powers-that-be are not acting responsibly in their fiduciary duty to us citizens. They relish having no responsible person at the helm. That way, we can't really come after anyone who can answer the hard questions. We know the stuff coming out of Biden's mouth is not first being processed by his brain, that he has no real comprehension of what he's saying, nor can he track his heavy-handed policies' real effects. He is a face with a mouth, and just enough brain matter left to follow the prompter most of the time, or tell a rambling, part-true story on occasion. They can hide behind him — and do so. I wonder whether, if Joe understood the societal harm he's doing, he'd be horrified. What would he say if he was aware he was being used so disrespectfully when he ought to be sitting by the fireside, telling stories about his glorious imagined past with Corn Pop and chains, civil rights marches, and Ukrainian presidents.

"The Bidens": Is the First Family Corrupt, or Merely Crazy? If you want insight into how challenging life has become for reporters in the Trump era, take a glance at the author's note for The Bidens, the controversial new book about the president and his family by Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger. No journalism is apolitical, but Schreckinger's approach to investigating the first family is as close as you'll find in the "moral clarity" era to old-school aspirations to objectivity. This book initially won love from the conservative press because Schreckinger brought the mainstream imprimatur of Politico to confirmation of some of the key emails in the infamous Hunter Biden laptop story. But that enthusiasm may have tailed off when reporters for those outlets read the book, which is also brutal in its treatment of figures like Rudy Giuliani, Lev Parnas, and Donald Trump; Schreckinger is an equal-opportunity offender. In the author's note, however, it's clear Schreckinger is concerned about how the mere act of publishing damaging information about Joe Biden and his family members will be received.

There's Really Something Seriously Wrong With This Guy. I used to be sympathetic to his neurological affliction; for about five minutes. Until I realized that he's playing hardball at destroying America. Or, the people controlling him and pulling his strings are. He careens around haltingly, being told and directed where to go next or how to exit, and never seems to know where he is or what century it is. He remembers few names, including his cabinet secretaries. His live stream is regularly having "technical difficulties" and cut off to the rest of the free world. He's "not allowed to answer press questions." When this tragic shell of a man rejects the complicit media, and they, being the drooling poltroons that they are, don't even stand up for themselves or America, we all lose. We all know what his back looks like better than his front.

Why I'm Betting Biden Goes the 4-Year Distance. One common train of thought goes this way: The Democrats will allow old, diminished Joe to stay in office only until the progressives have foisted as many ruinous policies on the country as they realistically can. Then after a year or so, Joe will go, making way for President Harris, which is a two-fer for the Democrats: It gives them the ability to deal with any public backlash against their mandates by blaming them in absentia on the mentally compromised #46 and it gives them bragging rights about being the party that has the first woman president. Like many common trains of thought, the betting here is that this is wrong. Firstly, no one in the progressive camp accurately and clearly saw what an unmitigated disaster Kamala Harris would be as vice president. There are hardly adequate words to describe her. Vapid, unintellectual, shallow, vacuous, inappropriate, cackling, ignorant, uninformed, clichéd, unimaginative, lazy... the list is endless. Has there ever been a Vice President so blatantly unqualified to step into the presidency as Harris? In a word, no. To their credit, many progressives are coming to this inescapable conclusion as well.

'Moderate' Joe Biden Has Become a Socialist Tyrant. As a U.S. Senator, Joe Biden was known as a political moderate. When he ran for president in 2020, he portrayed himself as the Democrats' middle-of-the-road candidate — a man who could work with both sides of the aisle and unite Americans of all political persuasions. However, when being a moderate wasn't helping his chances of winning the nomination, candidate Biden quickly switched horses in midstream, adopting the far-left platform of socialist Bernie Sanders. This move won him the Democrats' nomination and made him beholden to the radical left-wing of the Democrat Party. It also called into question Biden's judgment, a subject tackled quite capably by award-winning journalist Caroline Glick in her column "Joe Biden's catastrophic judgment." For example, concerning his judgment in handling the U.S. exit from Afghanistan, Glick observed Biden's judgment "was never reasoned or fact-based" and he "was catastrophically wrong." She also makes the equally valid point that once the president adopts a position, he "is unwilling to listen to counterargument" and "he will not rethink his choices or positions, even after they failed."

Biden Claims He "Got Involved" In Civil Rights Movement, But In 1987 He Said "I Was Not An Activist, I Wasn't Marching". Another day, another lie from Joseph Robinette Biden. For some reason, Biden keeps repeating the claim that he was "involved" in the civil rights movement of the 1960's. Ironically enough, his own words from 1987 debunk these very claims. While rambling off an incoherent story today at the White House, Joe said, "And he looked at me and said 'Joe, you should run.' I said, but I'm — I feel strongly about all these issues, but I got involved in the civil rights movement, in the — he said 'Joe, you should do it.'"

Obama's Former Defense Secretary Slams Biden on Foreign Policy, Praises Trump on China. China's been making some very bold moves as of late and there's little doubt that it has to do with President Joe Biden's milquetoast position when it comes to dealing with the communist nation. It's a take that former Obama Defense Secretary Robert Gates thinks Biden is getting very wrong, and something that Trump got very right. Gates appeared on CBS's "60 Minutes" in an interview with Anderson Cooper where he had nice things to say about Biden's "integrity" but didn't softball it about the president's foreign policy decisions, especially on China. "I think he's gotten a lot wrong," Gates said, making it clear he wasn't just talking about Biden's years as president either.

Biden Can't Even Honor America's Fallen Without Reducing Himself to Hyperbolic Political Nonsense. President Biden in a Saturday speech at the U.S. Capitol, in which he honored law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty in 2019 and 2020, said "being a cop today is [...] a lot harder than it's ever been," while also saluting the brave men and women who currently serve. [...] It should be noted that Biden's assertion that being a law enforcement officer in America today is not only a lot harder than it's ever been; it's also far more dangerous. And, of course, Biden came nowhere near explaining why it's more dangerous and predominantly made more dangerous by whom. But what Biden did make sure he said was nothing short of blatant political expediency: he busted out the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol building with this hyperbolic stretch: [...]

Biden is about to drive us off an economic cliff. It is difficult to imagine a worse time for massive increases in taxes and spending, yet that's exactly what Democrats in Washington, D.C. have in mind. We are all aware that, as Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated this week, President Joe Biden views the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to "make fundamental changes in our economy." But the changes he has in mind are about to drive us over an economic cliff. Businesses of all sizes are already being buffeted by seemingly intractable supply chain constraints, along with labor shortages, and unusually high consumer demand — all driven by pandemic-lockdown conditions that are only going to cause prices to soar as we get closer to Christmas. It doesn't take a Ph.D. in economics to recognize that restricted supply coupled with enhanced demand is a recipe for inflation, which has already been rising at a worrying rate for several months.

Hypocritical Joe Biden on 'Date Night'. It's harder to get more hypocritical than [Joe] Biden, who has spent most of the past nine months preaching at Americans over wearing masks and getting vaccinated. Even after he signed an executive order mandating wearing masks on federal property, he and his family violated it almost immediately, right after he signed it. His wearing of a mask, while he demands it of others has often been hit or miss. As we noted during his visit to Connecticut, he didn't have it on, put it on, and then took it off again. But last night [10/16/2021], he got busted violating the D.C. mask mandate, which was put in place by his fellow Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser in July. Since July 31, all people over age 2 are supposed to be wearing a mask indoors in any business open to the public, including restaurants.

Biden And His Wife Walk Through High Class DC Restaurant Without Masks, Breaking DC Mandates. This is what it looks like when the elite laugh at the rules they give to the peasants. Joe and Jill Biden showed up maskless at Fiola Mare in Georgetown Saturday evening [10/16/2021]. [Video clip]

You will never guess what's topping iTune's hip-hop chart. In just a few months in office, this utterly incompetent man [Joe Biden] has already managed to harm America very badly. He has opened the southern border to millions of immigrants, instituted "green" policies that have sent the price of gas skyrocketing, and presided over policies boosting inflation is at levels not seen in decades (and promising to rise higher). Worse even than these practical steps towards damaging America, Biden is in the process of outlawing half the nation over both factual and ideological ideology about vaccines. He is effectively overseeing America's balkanization. Then, to top this all off, he has presided over the destruction of the supply chain so that shelves will probably be bare for Christmas. Moreover, given that the supply chain is an immensely complicated, interconnected entity that stretches around the world and across the length and breadth of America, there's no reason to believe that shelves will be any fuller after Christmas.

The late show, with Joe Biden: The president on average is more than 20 minutes tardy for his events. Wednesday at 2:58 pm, President Biden took to the podium in the East Room and began remarks on supply chain bottlenecks that are causing shortages of consumer goods and threatening to make Christmas gifts late. What Biden did not address is whatever bottleneck it was that caused him to be 38 minutes late for his 2:20 pm event. Nor did he apologize for keeping everyone waiting. Perhaps he felt there was no need, because this is to be expected. From June 1 through the end of last week, Biden was an average of 22.4 minutes late for his publicly scheduled events, according to a Fox News tally. He sometimes keeps his audiences waiting an hour or more.

The Editor says...
Chronic tardiness is a sure sign of dishonesty and deceptiveness. It is a serious character flaw.

Joe Biden was brought to you in part by the "never-Trump" National Review, which now says...
Joe Biden Is a Threat to the Constitution. As president, Joe Biden is who he was as a candidate, and who he was as a vice president, and who he was as a U.S. senator before that. He's a fraud. President Biden is not good ol' folksy Joe. He's not a political moderate. He's not a defender of the American system of government. He's a chameleon, whose only loyalties are to himself, to his party, and to wherever the loudest voices on the American left happen to be at any given time. We are now nine months into Joe Biden's presidency, and he has already revealed himself to represent a substantial threat to the Constitution.

President Biden Falls Asleep at Nephew's Wedding, Wakes Up and Demands a Sandwich. According to conservative journalist Jack Posobiec, President Joe Biden allegedly fell asleep at his nephew's wedding with his "chin to chest." After he was awaken, Biden then demanded a sandwich from Capriotti's. "Biden fell completely asleep 'chin-to-chest' at his nephew's wedding on Monday and when staff woke him up he would only eat a sandwich from Capriotti's, per Pennsylvania worker at the event," Posobiec reported. "Asleep thru entire ceremony, and kept nodding off during reception," the source told Posobiec. "Jill takes a stern, caretaker tone with him when he's groggy. He decided he wasn't going to eat what the chef had prepared and only wanted capriottis."

The Traits of the Authoritarians Among Us. There are two irrefutable and intertwined realities of authoritarianism that the citizens of any democratic nation must recognize and understand. First, any political party that espouses ever greater power for the central government, socialist-centric economic policies and continual erosion of individual freedom is an existential threat to the nation. Second, the leaders of these political parties and their disciples will lie incessantly and, under no circumstances, will they alter their policies or tactics, as they can never be wrong in their pursuit of unbridled political power. [...] Joe Biden, a life-long pathological liar, will never acknowledge that his Afghanistan withdrawal was an unmitigated disaster because he sincerely believes that it was not, as he achieved his goal of getting out of Afghanistan. Biden and the Democrats are unconcerned about the cratering economy brought about by unbridled government spending, money creation, and inflation, as they believe it is an inconvenient by-product of their unerring vision of a quasi-socialist economy.

Psaki says Biden owing $500K to IRS was 'debunked' — experts disagree. White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday [10/12/2021] claimed allegations that President Biden owes as much as $500,000 in unpaid Medicare taxes have been "debunked" — despite experts saying otherwise. The issue re-emerged last month when Republicans accused Biden of hypocritically pushing for other wealthy people to pay their "fair share" to fund new social spending. Psaki grew visibly annoyed when asked about the issue by The [New York] Post at her daily press briefing and cut off the line of questioning after an expert was cited, who affirmed Biden might indeed owe taxes. "This is a very long question. I think I know what you're getting at. This has been debunked, as you probably know. Also he's released many, many years of his tax returns so people can check them out," Psaki said.

Hunter Biden Complicates White House Anti-Corruption Push. [Scroll down] Following the election, it seemed the whole Hunter Biden saga might fade away amid Trump's efforts to overturn the result, the storming of the Capitol and an ongoing pandemic. Instead, he has remained in the headlines. Most recently, news broke this summer that Hunter Biden would begin selling paintings, with initial prices as high as $500,000. It was an extraordinary sum for a debut artist, and immediately invited concerns that people who wanted to ingratiate themselves with the president would overpay for his son's art. [...] Along with new evidence that at least some of the alleged laptop material is genuine — as well as other emerging evidence about the deals family members have sought or received from people with an interest in influencing Biden — the bipartisan outcry over the painting venture suggests that the Hunter Biden issue is not going away, and that liberals may increasingly tune in.

The Editor says...
Wow, there's a lot of left-wing propaganda in that article. So tell me, if "some of the alleged laptop material is genuine," what material extracted from Hunter Biden's laptop is not genuine? Is Politico still hanging on to the "Russian disinformation" claim?

So, where's The Post's Pulitzer for Hunter Biden exposé? [Scroll down] The fact that, on any given day, competing outlets highlight different stories and even draw different conclusions from the same facts reflect the personal element involved. In many cases, those differences are admirable, but not always, and certainly were not admirable when The Post stood virtually alone a year ago. On this, its first anniversary, the Hunter Biden saga remains an outrageous scandal for two reasons. One for what it revealed about how Joe Biden's brothers and surviving son got big payments domestically and from foreign governments and nationals for years while he held public office. The laptop that Hunter abandoned at a Delaware repair shop was bursting with emails and messages revealing a sordid pattern of deals with oligarchs, Chinese Communists and thugs that brought the family tens of millions of dollars. Moreover, the laptop contained compelling evidence that contradicted Joe's risible claim he never discussed his son's businesses with him. In fact, there was correspondence showing Joe aided Hunter by meeting with his foreign associates.

Joe Biden could become embroiled in the FBI's probe into Hunter's finances, experts say. President Joe Biden could become embroiled in an FBI investigation of Hunter's finances, experts say, as emails reveal the father and son shared accounts and paid each other's bills. Emails recovered by DailyMail.com from Hunter's abandoned laptop between Hunter and Eric Schwerin, his business partner at consultancy Rosemont Seneca, show Schwerin was working on Joe's taxes, discussing the father and son paying each other's household bills, and even fielding requests for a book deal for the then-vice president, as well as managing the donation of Joe's senate papers to the University of Delaware. It is unclear why Schwerin had this intimate role in the vice president's affairs rather than government officials in the Office of the Vice President.

Impeach Him! The GOP should make the clear case for impeachment a central piece of their congressional election plan for 2022. We already have a House resolution; now we need a sizable majority in the House of Representatives and Senate to convict and remove him. The time is ripe. The need is urgent. If the weak-kneed Republican leadership will not do it, they should be replaced. The Paul Ryanesque House Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is certainly not up to the job, never defended Trump, and has so many skeletons in his closet [...] that he is an unacceptable Speaker of the House come 2022. Replace him now with someone like Steve Scalise (R-La.), who has a backbone, has taken one for the team, and is a patriot and populist of the first order. Why wait? He would impeach Biden.

Hunter Biden's oh so valuable artwork. Hunter Biden's artwork may well have real financial value, not because his works have great intrinsic artistic value but because he himself has become both famous and notorious. It wouldn't be the first time this has happened. In the first decade of the 20th century the young, teen-aged Adolf Hitler left his hometown to journey to the big city of Vienna to seek his fortune there as an architect. He failed miserably and wound up on the streets as a homeless bum. [...] One of Hitler's hustles was the watercolor postcards he painted and created and then sold on the street. [...] Today these cards are quite valuable. Not because they are great artwork, but because of who their creator was. I think the same thing may be true of Hunter Biden's artwork.

Am I a better artist than Hunter Biden? You be the judge. [Scroll down] But then there's Hunter Biden. Mr. Biden's paintings go for something like $75,000 to $500,000. Each. After the Big Guy's 10% cut, that's still a pretty penny for a pretty ugly picture. But give the Big Guy's little guy credit. He's a regular Renaissance Man. According to the Ukrainians who hired him for a sweet 6-figure gig as an advisor, he's a shrewd oil tycoon. According to the Chinese, he's an expert in Chinese business and other international trade. According to his, um, female friends, he's an accomplished cinematographer who both acts and directs for fun and profit. And this energetic man still finds time to get high on coke and lose his laptops. [...] Joe says he's very proud of Hunter. Who wouldn't be? Oh, Hunter's paintings? They're on display at a gallery populated by patrons of the arts who want to give and receive political favors.

Why Are So Many People Still Dying from COVID? COVID has been with us for more than a year and a half, along with masks and distancing, since last year, and vaccine mandates, passports, and booster shots have been added. How many of us thought life would be back to normal by now? Or if not back to normal, on an improving trajectory? President Trump told us numerous times last year that it would soon be over. President Biden, as a candidate, promised an end to COVID. Promises, promises. From Biden's campaign website: "Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have a seven-point plan to beat COVID-19 and get our country back on track." Whether Biden had a 7- or 17-point plan, America is not back on track.

What Does Joe Biden's Health Have to Do with the Future of Taiwan? The Chinese are making serious assessments about what they can expect from the U.S. and the Biden Administration if they invade Taiwan. What are the plans and intentions of the Biden administration in regard to China and standing alongside the government of Taiwan? And while many here may not be thinking about it, they are also assessing Biden's health and how that may impact U.S. response and timing. In my experience as a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I can say we did focus on the health and wellbeing of key foreign leaders. My committee was briefed multiple times on the likely death of Cuba's Fidel Castro in the 10 years I served on the Committee. Highlighting how difficult this task was, let's just say they were wrong multiple times before they eventually got the assessment right. After meetings with foreign leaders, I was often questioned about things I might have observed about them. This was especially true after meetings with the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Libya's Muammar Gaddafi.

Biden's Presidency Is a Ticking Time Bomb. Joe Biden's massive $4 trillion spending bills are in mortal danger of collapsing under their own weight as the gap between what the radicals want and what less-radical Democrats will vote for widens. To make matters worse for ordinary Americans, Biden has come down decisively on the side of the radicals, leaving party moderates to wonder where the sanity went. The $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, already passed by the Senate, is languishing in political purgatory with radical Democrats in the House threatening to kill it unless their $3.5 trillion social safety net bill is approved first. Resentful moderates feel they've been lied to by the president and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who promised an up-or-down vote on the bipartisan bill before the end of September.

Joe Biden sure does a lot of business with China. I wonder why.
Ex-Director Of National Intelligence Sounds Alarm On Biden Policy: 'This Makes Very Little Sense'. Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday [10/10/2021] that the Biden administration's move to buy Chinese drones for federal law enforcement was perplexing and that the move jeopardized U.S. national security. Ratcliffe noted that the Trump administration flagged the specific Chinese company in question over what it said was "moderate confidence" that the Chinese company was providing information on U.S. critical infrastructure to the Chinese Communist Party. "Like so much that Biden administration has done on national security lately, this makes very little sense," Ratcliffe said.

Biden must apologize to the border agents he smeared. Two weeks ago, the Biden administration assured the nation that swift action would be taken to punish the border agents on horseback who were falsely accused of whipping Hatian migrants. Even after it was perfectly clear that no whips were used and that no whipping occurred a beleaguered President Joe Biden called the actions of the agents "outrageous," "horrible to see," and said that the agents would "pay." This week, the Department of Homeland Security failed to meet its own deadline for finishing their investigation into this absurd episode. Back on September 22nd, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Congress: "I want to assure you that we are addressing this with tremendous speed and tremendous force. The facts will drive the action we take." He promised the investigation "will be completed in days — not weeks." Ok. So here we are. What has been discovered in the mysterious case of the border agents not whipping migrants? Are there any leads? Or is it exactly what it looks like, a ridiculous reaction to misleading photos that were almost immediately shown not to support the idea that anyone was whipped.

Gallery selling Hunter Biden's paintings saw federal COVID-19 loan increased from $150k to $500k after his father Joe took office. The art gallery selling Hunter Biden's paintings saw its federal COVID-19 loan increased from $150,000 to $500,000 after his father took office, it has been revealed. Public records, seen by the New York Post, show the Georges Bergès Gallery in Soho, New York City, applied for and was granted a $150,000 COVID disaster assistance loan from the Small Business Administration last year. In July 2021 — six months after Joe Biden took office — this figure was then revised, awarding the company another $350,000 and more than trebling the total value of the loan.

Today's deep question: Why does Biden use a stage set instead of the White House? The "fake set" question first came up a week ago, when a few critics speculated that Joe Biden's booster shot was as staged as the environs. There's not a shred of evidence that Biden didn't get his third dose, and no good reason why he wouldn't have either. But what is undeniably odd is the White House's continued use of the set, rather than ... y'know ... the White House.

The Editor says...
I suspect that Joe Biden's alleged "booster shot" was probably sterile water. There's no way to know what it really was. Why would he get injected with sterile water? Because he knows what's in the so-called "vaccine," and it's highly toxic. That's why healthy people are dying with a few days of getting the shot.

Biden Claims He's Created 'Five Million Jobs' Since Taking Office. Joe Biden addressed the nation Friday afternoon after a series of disappointing reports on the economy; insisting "jobs up, wages up, unemployment down" since his first day in the Oval Office. "In total, the job creation in the first eight months of my administration is nearly five million jobs. Jobs up, wages up, unemployment down. That's progress."

The Editor says...
Joe Biden is fully dependent on the teleprompter, perhaps to an even greater degree than Barack H. Obama. Joe Biden will say whatever the teleprompter tells him to say. The script on the teleprompter is written by persons unknown. If the teleprompter says ten billion people are living in poverty, or U.S. astronauts are going to land on the moon next week, or trillions of dollars in pork barrel spending will cost nothing, or something equally ludicrous, that's what he will say.

Art gallery repping Hunter Biden received $500K federal COVID loan, records show. A federal COVID loan to the art gallery repping Hunter Biden more than doubled after his father took office, records show. The Georges Berges Gallery initially received a $150,000 COVID "disaster assistance loan" from the Small Business Administration last year, according to public records. But the loan was recently "revised," with the SBA approving a further $350,000 to the SoHo gallery this summer, records show. The approval came on July 26, in the lead-up to Berges' exclusive marketing of 15 paintings by the president's scandal-scarred son, public records show.

Joe Biden Will Become More Destructively Radical as His Poll Numbers Crater. With his poll numbers cratering, we have only seen the beginning of His Fraudulency Joe Biden's dangerous and destructive radicalism. And once we hit a recession, which is almost certainly imminent, Biden will become even more desperate and dangerous. Biden is already flooding America with hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated illegal aliens, is already using his Gestapo FBI to terrorize parents opposed to Critical Race Theory as domestic terrorists, is already thrilling the Global Warming cult by wrist-flicking the horror of inflationary energy prices that threaten to pull the poor underwater this winter, and is already ordering fascist and unconstitutional vaccine mandates. [...] Granted, Biden probably doesn't know who or where he is half the time. But his puppet masters certainly do, and there is no question they are looking at his catastrophic poll numbers with white-knuckled terror. And that terror comes from knowing there is no going back.

Who Really Runs Joe Biden's White House? Believe It or Not: Joe Biden. My fellow Republicans and conservatives have disappointed me lately. Yet again, the Right is too nice. While my free-market friends count themselves among the president's most fervent detractors, they nearly all make excuses for Biden. I constantly hear reasons why he is the last person who deserves any blame for the Technicolor epic fail that is this administration: Someone else makes the decisions in the White House. He has no idea what's going on. Biden doesn't know what day it is. Nonsense. This is Joe Biden's White House, and he calls the shots — or at least goes along with what happens there and across the executive branch that he oversees. This has been so since Day One of Biden's presidency.

The Editor says...
The article above is the end product of a number of dubious presuppositions with which The Editor disagrees. Joe Biden is out to lunch. There is a huge difference between calling the shots and "go[ing] along with what happens there." Joe Biden is a pathetic shell of the mediocre, dishonest and venal politician he once was. Anybody else with as much accumulated wealth and as many age-related mental problems as Joe Biden would be in a comfortable "assisted living" facility with a nice view of the ocean. If the press had done its job a year ago, or longer, and if the National Review hadn't taken a "Never Trump" approach to journalism, the country might not be in this mess, with some anonymous left-wing puppet master running the U.S. into the ground.

Joe Biden Told a Big Whopper About the Vaccine This Week - so Where Are the 'Fact Checkers'? In my personal opinion, people should not let what politicians say unduly influence their medical decisions, but it's a reality that many do. There are no doubt people who listened to Biden's remarks yesterday or read about them later in the news and thought that if they go to the doctor or hospital that a healthcare worker couldn't transmit COVID to them. So where are the fact-checkers out there on this who in the past have gotten online commentators censored or banned and the traffic of websites throttled for posting alleged misinformation about COVID and the vaccines?

The only reason to make note of a story like this is because it will very likely turn out to be a lie.
White House: Joe Biden's Renewed Cough Is 'Allergies'. The White House said Friday [10/8/2021] that President Joe Biden's renewed cough is the result of "allergies." "He's doing great. He's got some allergies," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said as she left the daily press briefing and a reporter shouted a question about the president's health. Biden appeared twice in front of reporters on Friday, speaking with a raspy voice, repeatedly clearing his throat, coughing, and wiping his nose.

Report: Hunter Biden Sells 5 Pieces of Art for $75,000 Each in Los Angeles Show. Hunter Biden, the president's son, reportedly sold at least five pieces of art for $75,000 each at his Los Angeles exhibit on October 1. "The Georges Berges Gallery sold the prints before the Oct. 1 opening of a 'pop-up' presentation in Los Angeles, a source familiar with the matter said Thursday," the New York Post reported. "It's unclear who purchased the reproductions — which cost a fraction of the top price of $500,000 for an original piece by President Biden's scandal-scarred son — or if any more were sold after the LA show opened."

Biden just bragged about helping a friend jump to the head of the line in an emergency room. I don't want to live in a country where friends of powerful politicians get preference in receiving medical care, but Joe Biden evidently thinks that's an appealing vision of the future he is building. He is actually so proud of doing his part to make that a reality in practice that he bragged about it in public.

Biden Has Mental Breakdown: "The Ohio Pennsylvania, The Ohio Pennsylvania, I'm From Pennsylvania — the Illinois President". On Thursday during a visit to Chicago at the Clayco Construction site in Elk Grove Village, President Joe Biden had a mental breakdown while trying to promote his vaccine mandates. At one point during his speech, Biden forgot how to speak. "The Ohio Pennsylvania, the Ohio Pennsylvania, I'm from Pennsylvania," Biden said as he gestured to himself. "The Illinois president." [Video clip]

Joe Biden Brags About Getting Americans Fired in Rambling Mess of a Speech. The president appeared in public today [10/7/2021], and that always means the delivery of some really good material. Sure enough, Joe Biden did not disappoint in a rambling mess of a speech he gave on the economy. In it, he slammed the unvaccinated. Worse, he actually bragged about getting people fired, claiming that it helped raise vaccination rates by subtraction. When's the last time you heard a president brag about putting Americans out of a job?

Biden pushes employer-based vaccine mandates: 'Without them, we face endless months of chaos'. President Biden visited the Chicago area Thursday [10/7/2021] to highlight vaccine mandates imposed by some of the biggest local companies, hoping to rally support for rules that are increasing vaccinations while sparking furious debate over the best way to reach the leery. Mr. Biden said he is pushing employer-based mandates because companies saw their vaccination rates rise above 90% after imposing them. He also believes the economic recovery depends on broad immunization. "Here's the deal, these requirements are already proving that they work," the president said during a visit to a Clayco construction site in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. "In the past few weeks, as more and more organizations have implemented their own requirements, they've seen their vaccination rates rise dramatically."

Biden appears to defend the unvaccinated losing their jobs and says Americans who haven't got the shot are damaging the economy. Joe Biden said Thursday the 'bigger story' isn't that thousands of people are losing their jobs, but that the new mandates are increasing the percentage of Americans in the workforce who are vaccinated against COVID-19. 'These requirements work,' Biden lauded during a speech at a Clayco construction site in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. The new Executive Order mandates that all businesses with at least 100 employees require those workers to provide proof of vaccination or be subject to compulsory weekly testing.

Biden admits he personally called a nurse's desk to try and get his friend's partner into a Pennsylvania ER this week. President Biden admitted that he personally called a hospital desk on Wednesday night to see what was going on when a friend's wife could not bee seen at a Pennsylvania hospital overwhelmed with Covid-19 patients. Biden said his friend's 'significant other' had fallen ill, with difficulty breathing and a high fever. Biden said his friend called him after he'd rushed her to the hospital, where the emergency room told her she couldn't be seen because 'things were so crowded, so backed up.' 'I called the desk, received the nurse and asked what the situation was,' the president said in remarks on coronavirus vaccine requirements.

Who was the beneficiary of this abuse of power? Somebody's wife, same-sex spousal equivalent, or something else? What would the news media do if Trump had done this?

Joe Biden's Potemkin White House starts getting literal. [Scroll down] Tucker Carlson has broadcast an important theory from former Trump administration advisor Stephen Miller, who knows his way around the White House: [Video clip] Miller believes that the phony set was constructed to enable Biden to read from a computer screen below him instead of a very visible teleprompter. Which seems like a lot of expense for something they could just admit and adapt the White House to. But they'd rather fool the public. Biden, it seems, cannot talk off the cuff, or perhaps see well enough, or read well enough, without the words before him and up close, in a professionally lit setting. Which points to the Potemkin reason — that he's not in charge, he's lost his faculties, his brain is a shambling, ravaged Crimean village nobody of importance should see, and he wants to fool the voters. That's what the Potemkin set is for. Tucker makes this point again and again in his full segment, pointing out that voters still don't quite know who is in charge.

George Orwell was Right. One question must be asked of the regime that placed Biden in the White House. Who is actually in charge? Who is making the decisions? Who is demanding these new Nazi-like rules/regulations/procedures? Who is making the final call? [...] One thing seems without question, the figurehead in the White House is not making the final call. He is incapable of doing this. He does not have the mental stamina, the intellectual girth, nor the energy level needed to carry this out. Nor the capacity to demand it get done. Biden is not the puppetmaster, he's the puppet. Whether it is Susan Rice or Barack Obama, or even Ms. Jill Biden, we don't know. Whether it is the permanent Deep State apparatuses, or George Soros, or Dr. Anthony Fauci, or Bill Gates — we're not sure. If it is China making the final call, (which should make Taiwan very nervous), it is unclear but possible. It would not be hard to argue that the globalists in the New World Order are making the final call.

Biden falsely claims vaccinated people can't spread Covid in Illinois speech promoting vax mandates. President Biden spread what the social media giants like to call "harmful misinformation" when censoring conservatives. In the case of Biden's speech yesterday on Elk Grove Village, a Chicago suburb, the misinformation was downright dangerous, encouraging people to engage in hazardous conduct that could result in catching Covid. As many on the left believe that Covid is a virtual death sentence despite a 99.5% recovery rate, the lack of a hysterical response from social media labeling this "harmful misinformation" is a notable example of partisan application of the rules they claim they follow. Biden was in Illinois campaigning for private employers to fire people who don't get vaccinated. In the course of doing so, he claimed that vaccinated people can't spread the virus, a total lie.

Biden Rambles On for 50 Seconds, Proclaims 'That's How We Beat COVID'. President Biden confused countless Americans during a speaking event in Elk Grove Village, Illinois Thursday where he discussed his 'Build Back Better' plan and his efforts to "beat COVID-19." "The Ohio Pennsylvania, Ohio Pennsylvania, I'm from Pennsylvania. The Illinois President of the Don Harmon... Um, we got great leadership too. Where's Tim? ... Folks. That's how we beat COVID-19," said the President.

Facebook 'whistleblower' worked for unit that censored Hunter Biden laptop story. Facebook "whistleblower" Frances Haugen — who urged members of Congress this week to force the social-media giant to increase its policing of "misinformation" — worked for a unit at Facebook that censored the New York Post's blockbuster Hunter Biden laptop stories last fall. Haugen testified this week that the Facebook's "civic integrity" unit was established for the 2020 election to combat "misinformation" and wound down when Biden won, Breitbart News reported. A poll indicated the "laptop story" — which was about evidence that Joe Biden and his family cashed in on his position as vice president in business deals that potentially compromised national security — affected the outcome of the election. The White House still insists that despite further confirmation that the messages on the laptop are authentic, the claims amount to "Russian disinformation."

Questions Abound over Biden's Use of Fake Oval Office. It has been discovered that the Joe Biden administration has been using a set of the Oval Office to conduct video conferences and online broadcasts, BPR reported. According to Fox News, the set "was constructed across from the White House in the South Court Auditorium in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building." The most recent use of this farcical facility was Wednesday, when President Biden used it to hold a debt limit round table with business leaders. The mere existence of the set is a mystery — and a concern — to many in and out of political circles.

Biden's Fake White House Set [is] Located Across The Street From Real White House. Joe Biden's fake White House television set, on which he acts like he is conducting presidential business, is actually located across the street from the White House according to a firsthand press report and photographic evidence. This revelation is especially disturbing as the political class in Washington attempts to pass a massive spending bill that would further loot the severely debt-ridden American government and the people who pay to prop up the whole system.

'Truman Show presidency': Biden ridiculed for using fake White House set. Social media users shamed and mocked President Biden Wednesday [10/6/2021] after he spoke, once again, from a fake White House set that featured a digital monitor showing the Rose Garden in full bloom. [...] The video set, which was constructed across from the White House in the South Court Auditorium in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, is used by Biden for video conferences and events broadcast online. Featuring professional monitors and lighting, it is the same set Biden used to show himself receiving a third dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine. [...] "Why did the White House build a literal game show set complete with fake windows for Joe Biden," asked Abigail Marone, press secretary for Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley. "So weird." [Numerous tweets]

I would have left out "Brewing."
Biden is Brewing a National Crisis. Have we ever had a president who in mere months made so many dumb, intemperate decisions, thereby precipitating major crises? You'd think that the Afghanistan and border fiascos would suffice for one four-year term. But the smart money is that we haven't seen the last of Biden-manufactured crises. Biden is a nightmare version of Pig-Pen of the Peanuts comic strip. A perpetual cloud of incompetence, conceits, corruption, and shabby political motives swirls around him.

Kerry: Biden 'Literally Had Not Been Aware of What Had Transpired' on Submarine Deal. During an interview with France's BFMTV released on Monday [10/4/2021], Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry stated that President Joe Biden "literally had not been aware of what had transpired" with the submarine deal between the U.S. and Australia.

Biden refuses to answer foreign policy question after debt ceiling speech because it'll 'confuse' Americans. President Biden dismissed a reporter's question about a foreign policy issue concerning Ethiopia during a briefing on Tuesday [10/5/2021] to discuss raising the debt ceiling because he said it would "confuse" Americans. The reporter noted that he wanted to ask the president about raising the ceiling, in which Republican leaders have said they refuse to join Democrats in doing, but also wanted to ask Biden something about the east African country that borders, among other nations, Djibouti, where the U.S. and China have military bases in close proximity. "I'm gonna answer one, I'm not gonna answer Ethiopia, let's stick on the debt so we don't confuse the American people," Biden chided the reporter.

Who Are the Advisors Who Circle a Confused President? And just who counsels President Joseph Biden? The official White House list offers titles and names including chief of staff Ron Klain, deputy chief of staff Jen O'Malley Dillon, senior advisor Mike Donilon, and National Economic Council Director Brian Deese but who are the Washington personalities and power players behind the scenes who have the President's ear, and by extension, play an enormous role in shaping the fate of our nation? To those currently anonymous individuals seeking to guide the President into advancing their own agenda, history has a very important message for you. Things do not always go as planned.

Psaki won't say whether Hunter Biden has divested from Chinese private equity firm. White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday refused to say whether President Biden's son Hunter had divested his 10% stake in a Chinese equity firm despite the president's pledge to prohibit family members from engaging in international business dealings. Chinese business records reviewed by Fox News indicate Hunter Biden still holds a 10% stake in Chinese private equity firm Bohai Harvest RST Equity Investment Fund Management Co. through Skaneateles LLC. Hunter Biden is the sole beneficial owner of Skaneateles, according to Washington corporate records. "I'd point you to his representatives on that. He doesn't work in the administration," Psaki told reporters on Monday.

A Dog Whistle? Biden Calls Disgusting Harassment of Sinema and Manchin 'Part of the Process'. Remember when Joe Biden called for calm and civility in politics when he was running for president? Well, I guess that's out the window now. In recent days, Senators Joe Manchin (D-W.Va) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) have been targets of a harassment campaign. Unhinged leftists have followed Sinema to her house and even into a public restroom.

LA Mayor Eric Garcetti among 200 people to attend Hunter Biden's art show. Hunter Biden hosted an art show in Hollywood on Friday for several California elites, including Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. Garcetti was a national co-chairman of President Joe Biden's 2020 campaign and was nominated by the president to serve as the U.S. ambassador to India. Also in attendance was Shepard Fairey, creator of the Obama /Hope poster, and the musician Moby. Approximately 200 people reportedly attended the Hollywood event that took place in a large white room in Milk Studios, Mother Jones reports. Hunter Biden's gallerist, George Bergès, is reportedly charging up to $500,000 per piece of artwork, the Atlantic reports.

Between Afghanistan and Immigration, Have We Ever Had a Less Competent President? [Scroll down] The second completely self-generated Biden crisis is immigration. As with many other issues, it's now apparent that more than anything else, Biden's goal was to undo what former President Donald Trump had done on immigration. The dominant far-left activist wing of his party had campaigned on open borders. This is not a concept that sane people find comforting. Countries need borders. Biden claims to understand this, but his actions to date have destroyed the border security measures in place when he took office. To recap, when Trump first took office, the southern border was in crisis. Human smugglers and left-wing activists realized there was no need to sneak across our border; if a migrant showed up and claimed political asylum and a fear of persecution in their home country, we would release them to an American community until a hearing could be held. The vast majority would then never show up for the hearing. Our goodwill was abused by those seeking to game our system.

How does Biden stack up against a list of Alzheimer's symptoms? It is tragic for the individual, family, and loved ones of an elderly person suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's. It is a disaster for our nation if it is our president. Is President Biden suffering from a disease that is robbing him of his cognitive abilities? President Biden's longtime personal physician and now White House physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, has either not performed or not released the results of a cognitive test. President Biden's staff shield him from view, and the media continue to protect the president from scrutiny.

Carter 2.0 — Joe Biden Falls Apart Just Like Jimmy Carter, This Time on Immigration. This Baby Boomer author finds it easy to write about Joe Biden — because he remembers Jimmy Carter. So when the 46th president does something, I need only to recall what the 39th president did (and what was done to him during his single term, 1977-1981), and the similarities become clear. Indeed, just this year, I've written about five Biden-Carter parallels: on the economy, national security, crime, inflation, and Iran. So now here's a sixth parallel, which is the president's inability to manage a difficult issue, specifically the issue of immigration. (We can save a seventh parallel, infrastructure and reconciliation, for another time.)

The Editor says...
I would prefer to think of Barack H. Obama as "Carter 2.0" and Biden as "Obama 2.0." Carter was weak and ineffective, and to some extent he might have been somebody else's puppet, but at least he wasn't senile, malevolent, corrupt and venal like Joe Biden.

Pathetic: White House Dubs "We Love Joe!" Chant in Video of Congressional Ballgame Appearance to Make Biden Seem Popular. In an apparent effort to counter the nationwide trend of "F*** Joe Biden!" chants at sporting events around the nation, the White House released a video Sunday morning of Joe Biden's visit to the Congressional baseball game in Washington, D.C. last Wednesday night that opens with overdubbed girlish voices chanting "We love Joe!" as Biden entered Nationals Park. In contrast to the thunderous "We love Trump!" chants by thousands of supporters at President Trump's rallies, the Biden cheers sound like a handful of female White House staffers recorded in a studio. Hear for yourself. [Tweet with video clip]

Biden's Handlers Need to Get Him Back in the Basement. Joe Biden's handlers need to find a basement for him, and there's no time to waste. Things went off the rails yesterday after he appeared on Capitol Hill and effectively blew up negotiations between his own party. I'm not even sure how he did it, but Biden managed to undercut both Nancy Pelosi and Joe Manchin — despite those two being on opposite ends of the reconciliation issue. [...] After his excursion, when he was pressed on his ineptitude, he managed to joke about the various crises that have engulfed the nation over the last two months. You know, because a collapsing nation is funny or something. He couldn't be more tone-deaf if he tried. [Video clip]

Joe Biden's Visit to the Capitol Was Much Worse Than Originally Thought. [Scroll down] While I'm always a skeptic when it comes to the government actually doing the right thing, which in this case would be not spending $3.5 trillion on broad entitlements that aren't needed, I'm not seeing how the two sides get together here. Pelosi is already having a hard enough time rallying the moderates by herself. Now, she has Biden and his White House actively rallying progressives to keep obstructing when they themselves have no leverage to speak of. It's a recipe for nothing passing at all. And that's great if you are a Republican, but it's still worth noting just how ineffective and impotent Joe Biden is. This is a man who has no sense of his own ability or lack thereof. He truly believes he's above it all, able to show up at Congress, say "c'mon man" a few times, and have his agenda rubber-stamped. But he's learning quickly, to the extent he can process what's even happening, that he has no mandate.

And now, here's Joe's non sequitur of the week:
Joe Biden to Dems: Vote for Trillions in Spending, or the Capitol Rioters Win. President Joe Biden has sought to motivate Democrats on Capitol Hill to vote for his multi-trillion-dollar spending bills by warning them that if the bills fail, those who supported the Capitol riot on January 6 will celebrate a political victory. One bill is a bipartisan $1.2 trillion "infrastructure" bill (most of which is not traditional infrastructure). The other is a $3.5 trillion catch-all spending bill that includes Democrats' most radical priorities, and which Biden has recently linked to his "Build Back Better" policy agenda. It can only pass the Senate through the so-called "reconciliation" process, which has been abused by recent Democratic administrations to evade the Senate's filibuster rule.

Biden Should Resign? [Scroll down] For what it is worth, I don't want Joe Biden to resign. That would only give us Kamala Harris. It is remarkable that Harris is no better than Biden, and in some respects worse, despite not suffering from dementia. We need, not Biden's resignation, but rather a GOP sweep in next year's elections. I think that will happen. The great unknown is how much damage the Democrats, desperate and with their backs against the wall, will inflict via multi-trillion dollar spending and tax packages, designed mostly to fund lavishly and guarantee power to Democratic Party constituencies.

Anybody notice how often Joe Biden has empowered Putin? Vladimir Putin of Russia, battered and diminished by the Trump years, is now in the catbird seat. Joe Biden is the reason why. In the midst of his incompetence, bad judgment, and quite possibly corrupt tradeoffs, he's enacted a string of bad decisions to empower the Russian autocrat. Quite unlike President Trump, who was accused by a mendacious and maddened left of being 'Putin's puppet,' Joe Biden is the real thing. Which is pretty ironic, really: For a man who wrote the gushing book blurb to the most negative portrayal of Putin I've ever read, Fiona Hill's "Mr. Putin," which I wrote about [elsew]here, Biden's decisions to empower Putin are very strange indeed. We often talk about China as being empowered and emboldened by Biden, but the less-noted Putin empowerment from Biden is clearly stronger. Biden's latest is a jaw-dropper: In the wake of his disastrous pullout from Afghanistan, he's now begging Putin for access to Russian bases from which to surveil for terror activity.

More 'Woke' Generals Need To Testify About Their Failures. In August, President Joe Biden told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos that none of his military advisers suggested that he keep a residual force of 2,500 troops in the country to ensure that Afghanistan did not fall to the Taliban. That was false. The military brass told Congress that they had, indeed, presented that option to Biden. [Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair General Mark] Milley went further: he noted that in November 2020, then-President Donald Trump had ordered all troops to be withdrawn from Afghanistan, but that after the military warned him of a potential collapse, he rescinded the order. Trump wanted to pull out of the country, but he listened to his military advisers. Not so Joe Biden, who insisted on withdrawal — but on Sep. 11, not May 1, which ensured disaster. Not only did the new date break the agreement Trump had reached with the Taliban — in negotiations started by Obama, by the way — but it also placed the withdrawal smack in the middle of the summer "fighting season," rather than the winter.

Hunter Biden and the Art of Corruption. President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, has now plunged into the world of international art, with a New York gallery owner brokering art sales for the rare, emerging talent. Apparently, Hunter's paintings might sell for as much as $500,000 to various anonymous aficionados, according to Hunter's new art dealer, Georges Bergès. It is the latest in a string of scams Hunter Biden has undertaken. First, it was his being named, with no expertise whatsoever in either Ukraine or the oil and gas business, to the board of directors of Burisma, a Ukrainian oil and gas company under investigation for fraud. Then it was the deluxe payday in 2012 for his Rosemont-Seneca real estate investment partnership, which was bankrolled to the tune of more than $1.5 billion by Chinese investors with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Hunter had little or no experience in private equity, either, but he had just arrived in Beijing aboard Air Force Two with his father the Vice President, just two weeks before that enormous deal was announced.

Biden Can't Help Himself, Traps Young Woman During Congressional Baseball Game. During the Congressional Baseball Game on Wednesday night, President Joe Biden made an appearance and was booed by many in attendance. At one point during the night while in the dugout, the maskless Joe Biden boxed in a young woman, putting his hands around where she was so she couldn't move.

Asked Why Joe Biden Is Better than Donald Trump, White House Repeats Bleach Hoax. CLAIM: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed that former President Donald Trump suggested "people inject bleach" to fight the coronavirus. Psaki made the claim after a New York Times reporter asked her to respond to criticism that President Joe Biden was following many polices that Trump started. VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. President Donald Trump questioned an expert during a press conference about the value of injecting disinfectant or Ultraviolet rays into the body to kill the coronavirus. He did not tell Americans to inject bleach into their arms.

What if it was Jill Biden who ordered the calamitous withdrawal from Afghanistan? Many Biden watchers have long observed Jill Biden's grasping obsession with becoming the First Lady. Throughout the campaign as Joe Biden's failing mental abilities became more and more obvious, did she love him enough to end it? Oh no, not Jill. She continued on with her elder abuse. One explanation may be her long fascination with Edith Wilson. She admired and apparently coveted the role that Mrs. Wilson filled after President Woodrow had a stroke in October 1919. Edith Wilson hid the seriousness of her husband's condition and took over the job of running the country until the end of his term in March, 1921. While Edith claimed only to be a "steward" of her husband's presidency and that she took over with the full approval of his doctors, in truth she was quite a bit more controlling than she said.

Marsha Blackburn Calls for POTUS to Resign over Afghanistan Debacle. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) on Tuesday [9/28/2021] called on President Joe Biden to resign over his fatally botched withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Afghanistan, accusing the Commander-in-Chief of making false statements about advice he received on pulling out from the war-torn country. Testifying publicly before the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley and head of U.S. Central Command Gen. Kenneth McKenzie both said they recommended keeping some U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

Dem Senator's Assessment of Biden Admin's Senate Testimony Is Searing: 'No One in Charge'. [Scroll down] But maybe no Democrat lit up the Biden team for their failures more than Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT). I have to say, he has, at least on this incident, seemed like a different person. [...] Blumenthal stressed it was a "moral imperative" that we had to evacuate the people left stranded, yet the State Department pointed at the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense pointed at the White House. No one seemed to be addressing the real and continuing question that is an imperative right now, he said. His point was a critical one. Even now, almost a month and a half after Kabul fell, almost a month since the withdrawal, we still have people stranded with no coordination and no answers from the Biden team, with rescues left up to private individuals and members of Congress to figure out on their own.

Most Americans no longer trust Biden's COVID information: Poll. Most Americans no longer trust President Biden to give accurate information about the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the latest Axios/Ipsos Coronavirus Index. Conducted Sept. 24-27, the survey of 1,105 Americans over the age of 18 reported that only 45% trust President Biden "a great deal or a fair amount" to give them honest information about the virus, while 53% trust him "very little or not at all." "Fewer than half now say they trust the president, a 13-percentage point decline from his high water mark right after his inauguration in January," wrote the survey's four authors.

President Biden Governs Through Obvious, Ham-Fisted Lies. Hardly a day passes anymore that President Joe Biden or members of his administration do not stand before the American people and lie through their teeth. The latest lie to be exposed came Tuesday [9/28/2021], when Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he advised Biden to keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan, and that withdrawing them "would lead inevitably to the collapse of the Afghan military forces and eventually, the Afghan government." Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Mark Milley said he told Biden the same thing. The generals' testimony flatly contradicts Biden's claim in an August 19 interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News that none of his military advisors told him to keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan, or ever warned him that withdrawing those troops would trigger the collapse of the Afghan military and government.

No Apology from Joe Biden After Falsely Accusing Border Agents of Hitting Haitian Migrants with Straps. President Joe Biden has not apologized to border patrol officials after he accused them of hitting Haitian migrants with straps as they worked to secure the border while riding horses. "It was horrible to see what you saw, to see people treated like they did," Biden said last week. "Horses running them over, people being strapped. It's outrageous. I promise you those people will pay." Biden accused the agents of hitting migrants even though there was no available evidence to back up his statement. A photographer who took images even told Texas media that the images were "misconstrued" and that he never saw agents whip anyone.

"You Have My Word, as a Biden". Joe offering his surname as his sword of fidelity is pretty rich. Joe's fibs are legion. I'm not sure there is anything in his falling upwards life that he hasn't lied about or inflated like a party balloon. From his lifeguarding days to inflating his education, to the ugly and verifiably false claim that his daughter and first wife were killed by a drunk driver. She was at fault and the other driver wasn't drunk. Joe's brother Frank is part of the family grift circus. Frank was part of the Chinese deal with the "Big Guy" and has his own sideshow of profiting off the family name. Joe's son Hunter is in the grifting hall of fame. Hunter has used the name Biden like a mugger uses a handgun. That last name Biden brought him millions. His wealth didn't come from a marketable talent. He's a family name grifter and he's good at it.

Twitter Users Notice Massive Strange Detail Behind Biden in Photo of Him Getting Booster Shot. Anyone who is already skeptical about the vaccine and the intentions of the Biden administration will by no means gain any confidence in its agenda in observing the president appear to be putting on a big show — literally — about getting his booster. It would have seemed far more authentic — and a normal, presidential thing to do — for Biden to get the shot in the Oval Office. The stage set just screams confirmation of phoniness to those who suspect the administration is just pandering to the public. If hiring TikTok stars and bringing pop artists to the White House didn't seem performative enough, setting Biden up on a stage to get the vaccine certainly did it.

Biden Gets COVID-19 Booster Shot On Camera But Photos Reveal That It Was A Movie-Set With A Fake Background. President Biden received his COVID-19 vaccine booster shot on Monday, after public health officials recommended boosters for many Americans, including those 65 and older. Mr. Biden, 78, got his third shot on camera, and delivered brief remarks before his jab. The Food and Drug Administration granted an emergency use authorization last week for booster doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine six months after the completion of the two-dose course for those 65 and older, those with some underlying conditions and those who work in high-risk environments. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recommended a booster shot for these groups of people.

It Is All a Potemkin Village. Every single scripted aspect of this administration is a staged pantomime.

Cornered Psaki can't say which advisers told Biden to pull everybody out, annoyed press won't relent. White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked by reporters on Tuesday [9/28/2021] to provide proof to substantiate President Joe Biden's dubious claim that "some" of his top generals had supported his decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan. But she failed to provide a single piece of evidence, and many are now suggesting that the president of the United States is a bold-faced liar. The grilling occurred hours after all of the president's top generals testified to Congress that they'd, in fact, opposed the president's plan. The grilling began with ABC News' Terry Moran, who asked Psaki to name the specific military advisors who'd "told him it'd' be fine to pull everybody out."

The left's three-pronged assault on America: Covid, the border, submission to China. Joe Biden allegedly got his third jab on live TV on Monday [9/27/2021]. He was already "fully vaccinated" and still wore a mask. Does that give anyone confidence in the vaccine? [...] Biden, as surely everyone knows by now, even those who voted for him, is seriously cognitively challenged. He was never a smart man but now he is non compos mentis. He understands nothing about science, certainly not the science of virology or epidemiology. He reads words from teleprompters others have scripted. He has no grasp of the meaning of the words he is reading.

Biden's Vaccine Mandate Gets More Pointless Every Day. Three weeks ago, President Joe Biden told America he'd ordered his regulators to draw up "emergency" workplace rules requiring vaccinations for everyone working for big companies. Those rules have yet to emerge. And they might not emerge for another month and a half. Meanwhile, the Biden administration announced on Friday [9/24/2021] — which is the day politicians choose to release news when they want minimal coverage — that federal contractors will have until Dec. 8 to comply with that part of his mandate. More than two months from now. In other words, Biden hasn't managed to get his federal mandate implemented yet, and won't for some time. What he has managed to achieve is dissension, confusion, lawsuits, and worker shortages — as well as a steady decline in daily vaccination rates.

Big Brother is bluffing.
White House Has No Idea When, or Even If, OSHA Will Ever Provide Rules to Support Legally Enforceable Worker Vaccine Mandate. On September 9th, Joe Biden made the announcement that all employers with more than 100 workers would be required to enforce a national worker vaccine mandate. The White House stated that OSHA would, "develop a rule that will require all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforce is fully vaccinated." However, following the announcement we noted OSHA was not taking any steps needed to engage with business interests to trigger the first-step in the organization of a process to initiate a rule-making process. I'm only talking about the basic guidance aspect. The labor discussions with internal and external customers of the DoL, OSHA, etc. to set a calendar for how to implement "guidance", just that part. There was nothing, and there is nothing.

Impeachment fuel:
Does Biden Believe That Laws Should Only Be Observed Selectively? Creaky Joe Biden's taste for lawlessness surfaced immediately in his administration. Sean Higgens reported, "One of Joe Biden's first acts as President of the United States, the removal of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) general counsel Peter Robb, was probably unconstitutional. It was certainly highly unethical. Biden fired Robb despite the NLRB being an independent federal agency." [...] In dealing with Covid, Biden's various mask and vaccination mandates have been a direct challenge to the very Constitution he is sworn to uphold. [...] On another front, Biden's CDC decided in early August to extend for two months a federal eviction moratorium on renters who are behind in payments to their landlords, although the Supreme Court had already indicated the CDC lacked legal authority to do so. [...] This is a highly troubling aspect of a disintegrating presidency that appears to run on the premise that if you don't like the law, evade it or ignore it. But what else could one expect from a man whose sleazy, drug-fueled, wannabe porn star son has apparently been peddling access to his father to the Chinese and other foreign interests?

Here's Why Biden Is so Desperate to Sell the Lie That His Plan Costs 'Zero Dollars'. As we previously reported, Joe Biden is going all-in with this ridiculous claim, suddenly, that his $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill costs "zero dollars." [Tweet] He wasn't alone in trying to push this claim. As we pointed out, he had Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) parroting the claim. Now, other Democrats have jumped aboard the narrative train including Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), the head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. [Tweet] Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) signed on board as well. [Tweet] Here's White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki trying to sell the same claim. [Tweet]

Biden Claims His $3.5 Trillion Spending Package Actually Costs $0. According to [Joe] Biden, or whichever handler runs his Twitter account, his $3.5 trillion spending package actually costs "zero dollars." "My Build Back Better Agenda costs zero dollars," Biden claimed in a Twitter posts. How does it cost "zero dollars" you may ask? Because Biden just plans on robbing you, the American taxpayer, to pay for the package which in turn makes it "zero dollars." Makes total sense! "My Build Back Better Agenda costs zero dollars," he tweeted. "Instead of wasting money on tax breaks, loopholes, and tax evasion for big corporations and the wealthy, we can make a once-in-a-generation investment in working America. And it adds zero dollars to the national debt."

The Editor says...
Nobody is that stupid. This guy is nuts.

The Collapse of Biden's World. Despite his vow to "build back better," China is forcing all of Joe Biden's moves. The Asian giant's decision to pursue its own climate policy, consisting largely of more industrialization with green trimmings, effectively kills the Paris accords, so long a part of the progressive platform. How could it not? Beijing produces more emissions than the EU and U.S. combined. [...] The fate of large parts of the U.S. economy consequently depends not on regulatory actions in Washington but on bureaucratic decisions in China. The global world that Joe Biden had hoped to inherit is falling apart right under him, like a comedy car shedding its parts as it rattles down the road.

Joe Biden: Tax Tyrant, Tax Cheat, Tax Hypocrite. If there were any doubts that the Democrats are closeted authoritarians who sometimes crack the door and reveal their urge to rule like autocrats, all should have been removed last week when President Joe Biden yapped about federal tax policy. "I'm running to change the dynamic of how the economy grows," he said. "I'm tired of trickle-down. Trillionaires and billionaires are doing very, very well." [...] Biden was elected to be the CEO of the federal government, and to "preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution, not to carry out his personal preferences. Furthermore, Biden has neither the moral nor constitutional license to meddle in private affairs and employ authoritarian means to abolish something simply because he's tired of it. He is not a king whose whims are law.

Biden White House's lies [are] a matter of life and death. President Biden has gotten away his entire career with bending the truth and taking people for fools. Now the habit has infected his entire administration. So many lies are pumped out these days that it is impossible to keep up. They aren't just the silly, self-aggrandizing exaggerations that used to send the Trump-hating media into paroxysms of outrage during the last administration. They often are matters of life and death that have a profound impact on the future of this country.

Schadenfreude to start the week: Biden and the Dems' plans are collapsing. Only 8 months into the Biden presidency, disaster looms for the Democrats, and boy do they deserve every bit of humiliation and voter repudiation that looks to be in prospect. Yes, it is almost 14 months until the midterm election gives the public a chance to correct the electoral results that were proclaimed as genuine, and that's an eternity in politics. But two factors give me a fair degree of confidence that the trend we see now will continue and accelerate:
[#1] Biden is not going to get more coherent. He is visibly declining, the victim of his pathologically status seeking wife who surely realized his ongoing dementia made him unsuitable for office. And his potential replacement is so repulsive that Vice President Harris is kept hidden from the pubic as much as possible. And
[#2] With the slimmest of Congressional vote margins, the Dems have committed themselves to a far-reaching transformation demanded by the far left faction of the party that would spell doom for the few remaining non-extremists in the party.
Biden's polls are collapsing.

Joe Biden sure does a lot of favors for China. I wonder why.
Biden Admin Resolves Charges Against Huawei Executive, Hours Later China Releases the 'Hostages'. China has been credited with practicing "successful hostage diplomacy" in a deal that saw two Canadian citizens freed. To make that happen, the Biden administration's Justice Department cut a deal with Meng Wanzhou, 49, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies, according to The Associated Press. The fraud charges against Wanzhou will be officially dropped next year, and she was allowed to return to China.

Why Your Otherwise Smart Friends Think Stupid Things. In October 2020, shortly before the election, the New York Post published a scoop about Hunter Biden's emails. ["]Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by the Post. [... "] Neither Hunter nor Joe disputed the account. Instead, as the Wall Street Journal reports this week, ["]Both men counted instead on the rest of the media to serve as a cordon sanitaire, and did they ever. Twitter barred the Post's feed for a time lest Americans be able to read about the emails and their content. A press that was interested in telling the truth about both candidates would have pressed to confirm the Post's story and examined the emails for themselves. Instead they rose nearly as one to denounce the Post and claim without evidence that the emails might have been Russian disinformation. That was a sorry repeat of the Russia collusion narrative from 2016, which the press flogged for more than two years but we now know was concocted by the Hillary Clinton campaign.["]

'Biden should have supported us before spouting off': Border Patrol agents blast president for false claim. Border Patrol agents' outrage at Joe Biden is growing, with officers furious that the president has thrown them under the bus over the Haitian migrant debacle. They are especially angry at the White House's rush to judgment over pictures of a mounted agent swinging the reins of his horse while confronting an immigrant, which were first believed to show him whipping the man. That account has already been debunked with even the photographer saying his image showed no such thing.

Stolen Elections Have Consequences. Progressives seem completely committed to the Cloward-Piven strategy, even those who have no idea what it is. So here we are, stuck in the midst of a government induced labor shortage. A completely man-made crisis either by design or stupidity or a lethal combination of the two. Fast food joints can't hire burger flippers and fry droppers even at $16/hour, never mind the truly vital jobs of dock workers and long-haul truckers. And still, Joey is "losing patience" with you dolts who refuse to get jabbed so he's going to mandate that you do if you want to keep your job. That should help everything. The evil geniuses in charge are starting to look less genius and a great deal more evil. They have no idea how to turn things around much less fix what they broke.

Biden Isn't Facing 'Challenges.' Biden Is The Challenge. Well-known Washington creature Amy Walters wrote this week on the "challenge" that Joe Biden is facing early in his presidency: "The former senator and vice president looks more like a helpless bystander than an experienced Capitol Hill deal maker..." That, in a nutshell, is the national media's preferred framing of the absolute breakdown we're witnessing under Biden. A collapse that he created and is wholly responsible for. The media want Biden to look like a "helpless bystander," a victim of circumstances out of his control. He's not. He's the perpetrator of nearly every disaster anyone with eyes can see, from the obscenity at the southern border, to the loss of 13 service members (not fighting, but leaving a war zone), to the stratospheric inflation of household necessities. We're led to believe these are simply "challenges" Biden is facing rather than the results of his own deliberate screw-ups.

The Hunter Biden e-mail coverup is the clearest evidence yet of media corruption. The Hunter Biden e-mail coverup may not be the most contemptible example of the modern political media's corruption, but it is probably the most demonstrable. Politico reports that Ben Schreckinger's new book, "The Bidens: Inside the First Family's Fifty-Year Rise to Power," corroborates much of the New York Post's pre-election reporting on Hunter Biden's e-mails. Two of them stick out: The first is a 2015 missive from a Ukrainian businessman thanking Hunter for the chance to meet Joe Biden — then, still vice president. The second is a 2017 e-mail in which a proposed equity breakdown of a venture with Chinese energy executives included the line, "10 held by H for the big guy?" Of course, The Post story already had more substantiation than the histrionic and fallacious Russia-collusion scoops the nation had been subjected to for four years. The Post had reported, in great detail, how it had physically obtained Hunter's laptop. [...]

Twitter and the 'Fact-Checkers' Line Up for Biden. Twitter makes it easy to realize that the purpose of "fact-checkers" is most commonly rushing to defend President Joe Biden from misinterpretation ... and mockery. On Sept. 20, Twitter warned, "A video of President Biden discussing hurricane preparedness has been edited out of context, according to fact-checkers." Tweets aired this clip of Biden from Aug. 10: "Let me be clear: If you're in a state where hurricanes often strike — like Florida or the Gulf Coast or into Texas — a vital part of preparing for hurricane season is to get vaccinated now." It's easy to see his point: You may not want to be stuck in a shelter while you're unvaccinated. But it does sound a little funny that your "vital preparations" would be to board up the house, batten down the hatches, and then get the shot. It sounds like "insert a plea for vaccination in every public statement."

Biden opposes honorable discharge guarantee for troops who refuse COVID vaccine. President Joe Biden came out this week in opposition to the military guaranteeing service members who refuse the mandatory COVID-19 vaccine will receive an honorable discharge. On Tuesday [9/21/2021], the Biden White House submitted a Statement of Administration Policy voicing Biden's support and opposition for various provisions in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act. One key provision Biden voiced opposition to would guarantee U.S. military service members will be allowed to take an honorable discharge if they refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccines. The provision of the 2022 defense budget, titled Section 716, was introduced by Rep. Mark Green (R-TN). The provision states, "A member of an Armed Force under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of a military department subject to discharge on the basis of the member choosing not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine may only receive an honorable discharge."

HorseGate: Joe Biden Falsely Claims Mounted Border Patrol Agents Were "Strapping" and Whipping Illegal Border Crossers. Earlier today [9/24/2021], Joe Biden claimed the mounted Texas Border Patrol officers were "strapping" and whipping Haitians who were attempting to illegally cross the Rio Grande river into Del Rio, Texas. Biden declares to the nation: "Those People will pay." And now the rest of the administration and media will have to join with the Biden narrative and push the fake news. Which is exactly what happened when DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was asked moments ago. Now that Biden is pushing a transparently obvious lie; and now the administration and media are forced to support this transparently obvious lie; and now the leftist supporters in America will have to maintain support for this transparently obvious lie; and that only further divides the country.

Border Patrol Council head says Biden would be arrested for 'aiding and abetting' illegal immigrants if he wasn't president. The President of the National Border Patrol Council, Brandon Judd, told Fox News on Thursday [9/23/2021] that he would arrest Joe Biden for "aiding and abetting" if he wasn't president. Judd told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he's been patrolling the borders since Bill Clinton was president, and of all the border policies he's worked under, President Donald Trump's "were by far the best," but President Joe Biden "completely and totally dismantled all of those policies." "And when you look at our Border Patrol agents, when they are sent down there to that job, and by the way, Mayorkas was down on the border, and he saw the horses, he knew the horses were out there, and now he's making, doing a 180," Judd added. [Video clip] "But when our agents are out there trying to patrol the border, do their job to the best of their ability, then they're vilified by the president," he continued.

Joe Biden Tells Indian Prime Minister Not to Answer Questions from U.S. Press. President Joe Biden continued his conflict with American reporters Friday [9/24/2021], urging Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to take questions from them during a meeting in the Oval Office. "I think, with your permission, you could not answer questions because they won't ask any questions on point," Biden told Modi, referring to the American press.

Biden Insults American Press and Shuts Down Indian PM From Taking Questions During Meeting. We've reported about how Joe Biden's staff has gone to great lengths to prevent him from answering questions. His meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the White House was a great example of this. Johnson took some questions from the British press. But as he was finishing up, the Biden staffers interrupted him, screaming at the top of their lungs at the press to get out, creating all kinds of chaos. The press then filed a complaint with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. She basically treated them like dirt and like their objections meant nothing. Then, when she was pressed on it the next day, she blamed Prime Minister Boris Johnson, saying he never should have taken questions, suggesting that he should have checked with them before taking any questions. Clearly, their aim is to control the narrative. They not only didn't want Biden answering questions, they didn't want Johnson to either, likely because then Biden's failure not to becomes much more obvious.

Biden heads off to Camp David despite border crisis. President Joe Biden left the White House Friday night together with first lady Jill Biden for a weekend away at Camp David at the end of a chaotic week that saw an impromptu border camp in Del Rio, Texas, cleared of thousands of Haitian migrants. Nearly 30,000 migrants had been encountered in Del Rio in the past two weeks but by Friday morning there were none left in the camp beneath the international bridge that links the U.S. with Mexico. More than 12,000 migrants will have a chance to make their case for protection before U.S. immigration judges, an estimated 8,000 voluntarily returned to Mexico, and 2,000 were expelled to Haiti. The fate of others detained is to be decided.

Hunter Biden Requested More Than $2 Million To Unfreeze Libyan Assets When Dad Was VP. Hunter Biden requested a $2 million annual retainer and "success fees" to help unfreeze Libyan assets when his father, Joe Biden, was vice president, according to emails reviewed by Business Insider. Through an intermediary, the younger Biden offered to help recover $15 billion in Libyan assets that the Obama administration froze during the reign of Muammar Qaddafi. The intermediary, a Democratic donor, in a Jan. 28, 2015, email asked for a "close circle of people" to be involved in the offer "for confidentiality," adding that Joe Biden was considering running for president. Another email on Feb. 26, 2016, stressed the importance of only a small, close-knit group's being involved "due to the sensitivities surrounding their involvement."

Biden Wants People to Pay 'Fair Share' in Taxes but He May Have a Big Problem of His Own. Joe Biden is fond of saying that the rich should "pay their fair share." That's a big part of the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation plan that he's been pushing. [...] But there may be one rich person who hasn't paid his fair share — that's Joe Biden himself. Biden may have avoided paying as much as $500,000 in back Medicare taxes on speaking fees and book sales in 2017 and 2018, according to Fox News.

Joe Biden Blames His Failures on 'What I Inherited' from Donald Trump. President Joe Biden made excuses for his administration's failures on Friday by blaming former President Donald Trump. "Take a look at what I inherited when I came into office, when I came into office the state of affairs, where we were," Biden said, repeating a familiar complaint by new presidents struggling in their first year of office. The president spoke about the ongoing migrant and border crisis, his disastrous exit from Afghanistan, and growing Democrat infighting over his multitrillion-dollar agenda at the White House after a speech on coronavirus boosters.

Joe Biden Complains American 'Trillionaires' Not Paying Enough Taxes. President Joe Biden referred to "trillionaires" not paying taxes on Friday [9/24/2021], even though no American is worth a trillion dollars. "I'm running to change the dynamic of how the economy grows," Biden said. "I'm tired of trickle-down. Trillionaires and billionaires are doing very, very well. You all report it." There are currently no trillionaires in the United States. According to Forbes list of richest Americans, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is America's wealthiest person with a net worth of $177 billion. The president spoke about raising taxes on the wealthy after an event promoting coronavirus vaccine booster shots at the White House. He claimed his policies for a permanent childcare tax credit were not costing the government any money.

Biden preaches 'dignity' at U.N. President Biden went before the United Nations this week to lecture the world about "dignity." "Will we affirm and uphold the human dignity and human rights under which nations in common cause more than seven decades ago, formed this institution?" he wondered, just weeks after Afghan civilians tumbled through the skies from a U.S. military transport plane in the wake of Mr. Biden's historically disastrous retreat from Afghanistan. "People have taken to the streets in every region to demand that their governments address peoples' basic needs, give everyone a fair shot to succeed, and protect their God-given rights," he lectured, weeks after handing Afghanistan back to Taliban terrorists who beat women for not cooking them meals.

If These Latest Revelations Aren't Enough to Arrest Hunter Biden, Then Nothing Is. The only way the FBI would arrest Hunter Biden is if he took selfies in the Capitol on January 6. Business Insider recently reported that it acquired two emails (not from the infamous Hunter laptop email chain) from an associate of Hunter Biden, showing that Hunter wanted $2 million a year to free up $15 billion worth of Libyan assets that had been frozen by Obama. The first email is from January 2015, when Joe Biden was vice president. [...] Hunter Biden has had no artistic training, but his paintings have immediately become some of the most expensive in the art world. This is reminiscent of the payola scandal, where DJs, no longer allowed to accept money from record companies to play their songs, had their wives sell "paintings" to the record execs. This is perhaps the most annoying move Hunter has made, as he isn't even trying to hide the fact that he is a crook. It's out there for everyone to see, and he doesn't care.

Civilization requires deterrence. These are quite dangerous times because Joe Biden has cut the defense budget. He withdrew recklessly from Afghanistan, leaving behind American citizens, our Afghan allies and friends, and tens of billions of dollars worth of modern weaponry and equipment. He angered our NATO partners who were abandoned with some 8,000 troops, in a country which the United States had once implored them to enter. He has politicized the military into a caricature of an elite woke top brass at odds with traditionalist enlisted soldiers. The result is that our enemies — Vladimir Putin's Russia, the Chinese Communist apparat, the Iranian theocrats, the lunatic North Koreans — are now pondering whether Biden's reckless laxity is an aberration. Or is it now characteristic of his administration?

New emails from Hunter Biden business associates reveal he asked for $2 million retainer plus 'success fees' to help them unfreeze $30 billion in Libyan assets while his father was VP. A pair of emails from business associates of Hunter Biden reveal he offered to help them unfreeze Libyan assets for a $2 million retainer plus 'success fees', while they also discussed their misgivings over his drug and alcohol use. The email exchanges were between mid-level Democratic donors Sam Jauhari and Sheikh Mohammed al-Rahbani, who in 2015 were both working on behalf of the new Libyan government to free up $30 billion in state foreign assets. They had been frozen by the Obama administration under the deposed Muammar Gaddafi regime in 2011. The emails are unrelated to those on his laptop, which outlined a number of his other business dealings. The computer was found at a repair shop in Delaware.

Biden could owe as much as $500K in back taxes, government report indicates. Republicans say a new nonpartisan report indicates President Biden improperly avoided paying Medicare taxes before he took office — raising eyebrows and the possibility that he owes the IRS as much as $500,000 in back taxes. Biden is leading a Democratic push for a $3.5 trillion bill to subsidize child care, education and health care by targeting tax avoidance and raising tax rates on higher incomes so the rich "pay their fair share." A House Ways and Means Committee draft of the bill would end the accounting trick apparently exploited by Biden and boost IRS funding for audits — but the new report, drafted by the Congressional Research Service and provided to The [New York] Post, suggests Biden owes taxes under current rules, according to the congressman who requested it.

The Bidenization of America. Bidenization may be defined as a conspicuous and humiliating failure in every major area of government activity. This catalog of disasters is too well-known to readers to require a long telling but it is notable that there is no precedent for a United States administration being uniformly consistent in turning every major public policy area to disaster. Everything is going in the wrong direction. The military high command now stands accused, at least in the press, of acts verging on treason during the late Trump Administration. The conduct of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, has incited the inference that he has been grossly insubordinate and in more recent events in Afghanistan indicate that he is also thoroughly incompetent. If this was entirely the president's gig, some of the senior officers would have resigned. If it wasn't chiefly the president's gig, he would have fired some of them.

Biden may owe up to $500K in back taxes. President Biden may have improperly avoided paying Medicare taxes before he took office and could owe the IRS up to $500,000, according to a Congressional Research Service report. "Joe Biden wants to raise taxes by $2.1 trillion while claiming the rich need to pay their 'fair share.' But in 2017, multi-millionaire Joe Biden skirted his payroll taxes — the very taxes that fund Medicare and Obamacare," said Rep. Jim Banks, who chairs the conservative Republican Study Committee. Banks said the report indicated that Biden improperly used "S corporations" while he and first lady Jill Biden raked in over $13 million on speaking fees and book sales in 2017 and 2018, but counted less than $800,000 of it as a salary that could be taxed for Medicare.

Hunter Biden bragged of having 'access to the highest level' in China, email claims. Hunter Biden boasted of having "access to the highest level" in China, according to emails of his business contacts published on Thursday [9/23/2021]. The alleged claim by President Joe Biden's adult son was discussed in a Jan. 28, 2015, email obtained by Business Insider from Democratic donor Sam Jauhari to Saudi business tycoon Sheikh Mohammed al-Rahbani, as the men tried to put together a plan to free Libya's many billions in frozen funds.

Hunter Biden emails boast ties to White House and China. Hunter Biden's business contacts touted his access to his father, "State, Treasury," his relationship with then-Secretary of State John Kerry's stepson, as well as his ties to the "highest level" in China, as they weighed whether to work with him on a potential Libya deal in 2015, newly uncovered emails show. The two emails — published by Insider on Thursday [9/23/2021] — date back to 2015, when Joe Biden was vice president, and reference getting Hunter's help on a deal regarding billions in Libyan assets frozen by the Obama administration. The emails are unrelated to Hunter's infamous laptop. In the first email, dated Jan. 28, 2015, Democratic donor Sam Jauhari repeatedly referred to Hunter as "#2 son" — an apparent reference to Joe Biden's VP role at the time — and noted that Hunter had requested a $2 million retainer.

New Proof Emerges of the Biden Family Emails: a Definitive Account of the CIA/Media/BigTech Fraud. A severe escalation of the war on a free internet and free discourse has taken place over the last twelve months. [...] But the most severe episode of all was the joint campaign — in the weeks before the 2020 election — by the CIA, Big Tech, the liberal wing of the corporate media and the Democratic Party to censor and suppress a series of major reports about then-presidential frontrunner Joe Biden. On October 14 and then October 15, 2020, The New York Post, the nation's oldest newspaper, published two news reports on Joe Biden's activities in Ukraine and China that raised serious questions about his integrity and ethics: specifically whether he and his family were trading on his name and influence to generate profit for themselves. The Post said that the documents were obtained from a laptop left by Joe Biden's son Hunter at a repair shop. From the start, the evidence of authenticity was overwhelming. The Post published obviously genuine photos of Hunter that were taken from the laptop. Investigations from media outlets found people who had received the emails in real-time and they compared the emails in their possession to the ones in the Post's archive, and they matched word-for-word.

Confirmation of Hunter Biden's laptop also confirms media's ethics are putrid. By now, it's easy to blast the establishment media for their dishonesty in handling the story of Hunter Biden's laptop. Easy, but still necessary. A new report from Politico shows why. Top Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger released a book today [9/21/2021] examining the Biden family's "fifty-year rise to power" in which, among other reports about the family's problematic profiteering, Schreckinger confirms the authenticity of some of the emails found on the laptop in question. This is, of course, about the umpteenth new story supporting the always-obvious legitimacy of the first New York Post reports about the computer. Still, the venue here is noteworthy. Politico is one of the "mainstream" publications that joined the frenzy last year hyping the flagrant lie that the laptop story was "Russian disinformation." Don't hold your breath waiting for any of those media outlets to apologize for their botched coverage, nor for the "more than 50 former senior intelligence officials" who leveled that charge to atone for spreading a falsehood for which there was precisely zero evidence.

Biden exposes his dementia to the world. Biden cannot function without either a teleprompter or pre-printed cheat sheets, which tell him how to meet and greet his peers. As Andrea Widburg noted, Biden cannot even so much as say "hello" to Boris Johnson without reading it first from his cheat sheet. [...] Biden made an incredible claim about climate change. ["] ... And dealing with the gravest threat to humanity we've ever seen which is the whole climate crisis we're gonna we're un we're undergoing that can only be met with global solutions ... ["] The remark is so stupid that it is actually obscene. "Climate change," supposedly a greater threat than Nazism. Or Genghis Khan. Or the Black Death of 1350, which killed off half the world. The climate crisis of 536-540 when a volcanic eruption in the East Indies caused a global nuclear winter with mass famine and disease, that's not sufficient for what Biden claims now, either.

Biden 'Incompetent,' 'Unfit' to Serve, Republican Study Committee Chairman Says. President Joe Biden's administration has been a "constant crisis" and has confirmed the suspicion of many Americans that he is "incompetent" and "unfit" for office, Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks said Tuesday [9/21/2021]. The Indiana congressman cited the escalating crises at the southern border and in Afghanistan as needing oversight hearings in Congress, but he said that wouldn't likely happen under the current Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. "It seems this administration is a constant crisis, and it seems like every day they create a new crisis," Banks said in an interview with The Daily Signal shortly after a press briefing by the Republican Study Committee, the House caucus of fiscal conservatives. "It's a fundamental constitutional role of the Congress to provide oversight. Obviously, the Democrats aren't interested in providing oversight ... of their own president."

Who is Controlling the Biden Presidency? Just consider for one example concerning Afghanistan: Why would Biden abandon Bagram Air Force Base? It is key to all of Southwest Asia — just 400 miles to China and 500 miles to Iran. It is a vitally important geopolitical, military and intelligence platform with consequences and "reach" that involve far more than just Afghan regional matters. Who, specifically, made the recommendation to just walk away from Bagram — and then who gave the order?

Biden Tells United Nations Assembly It Will Take "Collective Political Will" To Force The COVID Vaccine into Global Population. Something uniquely telling about these remarks today before the United Nations. Something transparently obvious that most will miss. While bragging about how the United States is the world's leading provider of COVID-19 mRNA gene therapy, Biden notes it will take a "collective act of political will" to deal with a public health emergency. Think about that carefully. [Video clip]

Who is controlling the Biden presidency? [Scroll down] Here are some potential answers — individually, in combination with key influencers of President Biden, or via convenient, passing, alliance. Each of these have their own objectives for influencing those closest to President Biden:
• Professional Washington political operatives of the Democrat Party and the corresponding leftist "deep state" federal government officials that have incrementally occupied the headquarters of every executive branch department and agency in Washington DC.
• Lobbyists representing the military-industrial complex; big pharma; energy interests; and/or foreign powers and multinational corporations.
• Big tech and the related Silicon Valley business interests.
• Witting and unwitting agents of Communist China and its state "business enterprises" who pretend to operate independent of the government.
• Militant leftists from organizations like Antifa, BLM and associated organizations who see an opportunity for unchecked and sometimes subsidized activities purportedly endorsed by the Democrat establishment.
If we suggest that there is a combination or passing alliance of these various interests and groups, each seeking to advance their own agenda behind the official, hollow, front of "President Joe Biden," then we run the risk of being branded conspiracy theorists. That is both dishonest and unfortunate, because asking questions of, and seeking accountability from, elected officials is not "crazy." Interest groups do, in fact, lobby presidential advisors, White House staff, and even members of the president's family.

Articles of Impeachment Against Biden Introduced by Four House Republicans. News articles of impeachment against the perpetually embattled Joe Biden were introduced on Tuesday by Ohio Republican Bob Gibbs over Biden's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the border crisis, and his efforts to continue the federal eviction moratorium despite warnings from the Supreme Court. "I take this seriously. I don't think it's haphazard. I'm not trying to get media attention for myself," Gibbs told the Washington Examiner. "He's done so much damage to this country in less than nine months, which is really scary." "He's not capable of being commander in chief, and that's obvious by the actions since Day One when he took the presidency back in January," he added. "Maybe something like this makes the White House think twice before they do some of this nonsense." Gibbs' articles of impeachment has three other sponsors: Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) and Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas).

The Hunter Biden laptop is confirmed?! Color us shocked!. In his new book, "The Bidens: Inside the First Family's Fifty-Year Rise to Power," Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger says that evidence points to Hunter Biden's laptop being legit. While we appreciate the support, the truth is The [New York] Post's reports always have been true, and it's only because the media wants to protect Joe Biden that they keep referring to the laptop as "unsubstantiated." Schreckinger notes that "A person who had independent access to Hunter Biden's emails" confirms two of the emails The Post published, including one about a potential deal with China with the line "10 held by H for the big guy?" — that is, Joe Biden. But Hunter Biden's former business partner Tony Bobulinski already said those emails were authentic — the media just ignored him. Schreckinger adds that emails released by the Swedish government also match emails from the laptop (Hunter had gotten into a kerfuffle when he was staying in a Swedish embassy building). That's also been reported.

White House Reporters File Formal Complaint Against Biden For Refusing To Answer Questions. The White House press pool filed a formal complaint against Democrat President Joe Biden for refusing to answer questions from American media about the multiple crises that have erupted under his regime. The complaint came as Biden met with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the Oval Office, which comes after Biden angered the British with his disastrous pullout from Afghanistan. "[President] Biden and British PM [Boris Johnson] meet to discuss pandemic, trade and other issues," CBS News reporter Ed O'Keefe tweeted. "Johnson took 3 questions. White House aides shouted down U.S. attempts to ask questions. I asked Biden about southern border and we couldn't decipher what he said."

Independent Source Confirms Authenticity of Hunter Biden Emails. Two crucial emails included among the material reportedly taken from Hunter Biden's laptop last year are genuine, according to new evidence presented in the book The Bidens by Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger. A 2015 email from Ukrainian businessman Vadym Pozharsky thanking Hunter Biden for "giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together" is genuine, according to a person described in Politico Playbook as having "independent access" to Hunter's emails. Pozharsky was an adviser to Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian natural gas company on whose board Hunter Biden sat while his father was vice president.

Did Biden's Political Needs Lead to Tragically Mistaken Drone Strike? I don't think there's any doubt that the wars fought under Presidents Bush (43) and Obama resulted in U.S. forces unintentionally killing innocent civilians. This might well have been the case under President Trump too, despite the scaled-back and changed nature of his war efforts. However, the unintentional killing of innocents in that recent Afghanistan drone strike, as we were completing our evacuation of Americans and Afghans, is different in at least two respects. The first is that accidental killings under Biden's immediate predecessors were carried out as we were trying to win. By contrast, Biden's killings occurred after we had given up. Our troops had already pulled out of Afghanistan and the evacuation of civilians, such as it was, had just about been completed. [...] But there's a second distinction. This particular attack might well have resulted from Joe Biden attempting to save a little face over our disastrous exit from Afghanistan and, in particular, the killing of American forces at the Kabul airport.

Poll: Only 49% Think Joe Biden Is Mentally Stable Enough to Be President. Only 49 percent of registered voters think President Joe Biden has enough "mental soundness" to serve as president, a Sunday [9/19/2021] Fox News poll revealed. Respondents were asked, "Do you think Joe Biden has the mental soundness to serve effectively as president, or not?" While 49 percent said yes, 48 percent said no.

Joe Biden is in way over his head. The number, variety, magnitude, and speed of recent national and global crises have all clearly and without any doubt demonstrated that Joe Biden and his administration are simply in way over their heads and way beyond their abilities to understand and to respond to these events appropriately and intelligently. [List of examples.]

Biden vacations at [his] Delaware beach house after [a] week of heavy losses. President Biden took major hits this week, from the Pentagon confirming that a "tragic mistake" led to 10 civilians in Afghanistan dying in a drone strike, to the Food and Drug Administration rejecting his vaccine booster proposal, with much of the news breaking as the president headed to the beach for vacation. "So the U.S. drone strike did NOT kill any ISIS-K but did kill 10 innocent civilians, including 7 children. Unbelievable. The Biden administration is a sad, tragic mess and an utter embarrassment on the world stage!," Trump-era White House press secretary and Fox News contributor Kayleigh McEnany tweeted on Friday. U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command, told reporters on Friday that an Aug. 29 drone strike targeting ISIS actually killed 10 civilians in Afghanistan, not terrorists.

Treason. There, Somebody Said It. The actions of the current administration consistently undermine the welfare of the American people, they are endangering American welfare, and they have snuffed out American lives. There is no other word for it. This administration has committed treason. Multiple fronts in multiple ways, multiple times. [...] At almost every turn this administration seeks to undermine the health, life and welfare of every American. They do so through both what they choose to take actions on, and what they choose not to deal with. The outcome of what they are working towards is adding up to a nation that looks like anything but America. So what do you call it, when the goal is to harm the rights of the average American, defy the principles of our national laws and systems of justice, and implement policy or executive orders that erase our national identity, national priorities, and national security? What is the term that adequately explains why the administration just this last week revoked life saving monoclonal antibodies from states who need the life saving therapy the most?

Biden Says Something Completely Ridiculous, but Doesn't Even Realize It. It must be a tough thing to have the responsibility every day to cover for Joe Biden, never knowing when he's going to say something awful, commit a horrible gaffe, or lapse into incoherence. Talk about an ulcer-producing job. As I wrote earlier, White House staffers are reportedly doing the best they can to build a "wall" around him and "cocoon him," so they can prevent him from gaffing — but there's only so much you can do, when you have to throw him out in public all the time. Biden should be retired somewhere, living out his days in peace, but for the fact that some folks want to use him to hold onto power for the Democrats. So they have to deal with the whole, flawed package.

Joe Biden goes to the beach. Joe Biden has a creepy way of making himself scarce whenever there's a crisis. He gets a lot of crises. [...] The border is being flooded by 15,000 illegal migrants massing under a bridge near Del Rio, Texas in the biggest migrant massing in U.S. history. For the Border Patrol, it's a disaster. [...] A very important ally has cut ties based on Joe Biden's mismanagement of a new alliance set up between Britain, France and Australia, which left France entirely out of the loop, and out a $50 billion defense contract, too, with the news sprung on them at the spur of the moment after it happened. [...] There's also Afghanistan fallout and it's ugly. Turns out the Pentagon admitted that the ten "terrorists" they fired a rocket on in retribution for the suicide attack at Kabul airport, which killed 13 American service members and around 200 Afghanis, was a "mistake." [...] Here's another crisis: Days before Biden was set to foist COVID booster vaccines onto the public, Biden's FDA flatly refused to recommend boosters at all as a response to containing COVID. That signals a rebellion over Biden's politicization of the COVID crisis to his partisan ends.

One stunning afternoon: Setbacks imperil Biden's reset. It was an hour President Joe Biden would no doubt like to forget. On Friday [9/17/2021], the Pentagon acknowledged that a drone strike in Afghanistan killed 10 civilians, including seven children, not terrorists. A panel advising the Food and Drug Administration voted to not recommend COVID booster shots for all Americans over 16, dashing an administration hope. And France announced it was recalling its ambassador to the U.S. out of anger for being cut out of a secret nuclear submarine deal Biden had struck with the United Kingdom and Australia.

The Editor says...
Yes, it was "an hour President Joe Biden would no doubt like to forget." And he probably has already.

With his Approval Rating in Free Fall, Biden Takes a Long Weekend Vacation. The Taliban owns Afghanistan where Americans are trapped, the U.S. debt is nearing catastrophic levels, COVID is on the rise even with large amounts of vaccinated Americans, the border is overrun by illegals and President Joe Biden thinks it is a perfect time to relax. According to the White House schedule, President Biden will be spending the long weekend at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

The Editor says...
Joe Biden is the only one enjoying a "long weekend" as far as I am aware.

No Supporters, Not Even Jill, Greet 81 Million Vote Getter Joe Biden as He Returns Home for Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Vacation. Joe Biden returned to the sound of silence to his home state of Delaware Friday for a long weekend at his Rehoboth Beach vacation home — no supporters, not even wife Dr. Jill, were there to greet him, according to videos taken of his arrival.

Joe Biden is never going to answer any such questions, no matter how many there are.
10 Unanswered Questions Biden Must Answer. CENTCOM commander Gen. Frank McKenzie apologized Friday after an investigation revealed that the U.S had killed an innocent man, Zemari Ahmadi — and nine other civilians, including seven children — rather than ISIS-K terrorists Aug. 29. Though McKenzie accepted responsibility for what he called a "tragic mistake," he did not resign. Instead, he provided an explanation of the circumstances for the strike, suggesting that the Pentagon believes it was legal under international law. McKenzie told the media that the military had acted on intelligence that a "white Toyota Corolla" — one of the most common automobiles — would mount an attack. At no point did the military know who was driving the targeted vehicle.

Something wicked this way comes — the midterms will be a Democrat apocalypse. The Democrats lost 64 House seats in the 2010 midterm when Barack Obama was president and 54 seats in the 1994 midterm when Bill Clinton was president. That's bad. [...] This time, the Dems don't even have politically competent Obama or Clinton. They instead are headed by a stupid, senile, hair-plugged, incompetent, tongue-tied, foolish President Lite whom Obama warned we should "never underestimate" in his ability to "[mess] things up." His son and business partner is a criminal, drug addicted life and laptop loser who videotapes his encounters of the prostitute kind while parlaying dad's political connections into a lucrative family racket that nets "10% for The Big Guy" according to his own emails that the FBI authenticates but the Democrats at the New York Times, which is everyone at the New York Times, dismiss as "unsubstantiated."

Because They Are Evil. There are a great many things coming from Biden, Fauci, the CDC, the State Department, the military, the Justice Department, and basically the Deep State that make no sense. From Biden and the Deep State, we are getting executive orders, mandates, guidelines, decisions, policies, and edicts that just do not make any sort of intellectual sense. It is not just a difference of opinion. It is not just different politics or a different point of view. Decisions, guidelines, policies, and proposed laws are coming out of Washington D.C., Biden, and the Deep State that one just can't figure out in an intellectual, factual, common-sense sort of way. The only way to explain what is coming from the placeholder at the White House and the Deep State elites is that they are just evil. They are doing what they're doing because they are evil. No other answer makes sense.

Twitter censored Hunter Biden laptop stories after 'rumors' from US intelligence warned of 'a hack-and-leak operation' that would 'involve' him. An executive with Twitter told the Federal Election Commission (FEC) that the social media company blocked New York Post's reporting on leaked emails from Hunter Biden's laptop after hearing rumors from US intelligence officials that it would result in Biden getting hacked. The head of Twitter's Site Integrity Team, Yoel Roth, said the company's decision to block access to New York Post's reporting in October of 2020 was justified because of the information they allegedly received from US intelligence officials, according to the Washington Free Beacon. In a complaint filed with the FEC by a conservative group, Twitter was accused of giving an illegal campaign contribution to Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign by blocking the public access to the articles and withholding information from voters in a way that supported Biden's bid for the presidency.

Biden's latest former job of which there is no record: Lumberjack. On Monday [9/13/2021], Biden added another line to his resumé: He was a lumberjack, or at least was offered a job as one fresh out of college. He announced this newly minted biographical datum while in Boise, where he had traveled, the Daily Mail reports, to visit the National Interagency Fire Center — the federal agency responsible for coordinating the states' response to wildfires. The lumberjack claim came up in the context of schmoozing the audience about what a beautiful state Idaho is and how he had once planned to live there because of the breathtaking scenery. (He's still campaigning for president!)

Surrendering Afghanistan to the Taliban: Who Is Managing Biden? The last eight months have been a rolling U.S. disaster domestically and internationally. We have witnessed the collapse of U.S, political and moral will to continue in Afghanistan and pretty much anywhere else in the world. Given the daily headlines of the last two weeks, what is the Biden administration's message for Israel, Taiwan, Ukraine, and South Korea? Not to mention, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico? The most disturbing part is that apparently SOMEONE in the US government — or someone whose hands are on the levers of the organs of the state — wants it exactly this way. It is not random, an accident, or a mistake. "They" want a return to the "managed decline" that served as the hallmark of the Obama administration's eight-year-long "fundamental transformation" of America. Given President Biden's apparent decline in mental acuity, we are compelled to conclude that whoever is REALLY in power in the United States is not Biden.

Biden's Presidency Is Already A Total Disaster, And It's All His Own Fault. The first seven months of Joe Biden's presidency have been fraught with crises. First it was the coronavirus pandemic and the vaccine rollout. Then it was the border crisis. Then it was the economy. And now Afghanistan, where the Taliban are now reportedly hanging people by the neck from U.S.-supplied Blackhawk helicopters, and the U.S. withdrawal has left behind hundreds of Americans and perhaps thousands of Green Card holders in what now amounts to the largest hostage crisis in American history. The administration is stumbling from one disaster to the next, with no end in sight and public opinion plummeting on nearly every major issue. In each case, the disaster has been entirely of the Biden administration's own making. Events are not overtaking Biden, his own rank incompetence is.

Something Else [is] Missing. On September 9th, President Joe Biden made the announcement that all employers with more than 100 employees would be required to enforce a worker vaccine mandate. [...] Almost a week later, and that's the sum total of everything about the biggest economic and workforce disruption in the history of the nation. That one paragraph posted on September 10th. Why is this important? Well, the U.S. Department of Labor website has ZERO mentions of this national mandate. ZERO, nothing, nada, zilch. Looking at the OSHA COVID information portal, used by employers and legal execs, will show you the exact same result. Nothing. Notice there's no date for DoL or OSHA delivery of any employer guidance or details. Nothing. Think about this. This is the largest nationwide change to employment eligibility requirement in U.S. history. Nothing else is even close; and yet, if you didn't watch the Biden announcement or read the media discussion about the Biden announcement, you wouldn't be able to find a single detail about it — anywhere. This is not normal; not even close to normal, even for the federal government.

Biden's Feed [is] Cut As He Appears To Go Off Script. The White House killed video feed of Joe Biden as he appeared to go off script. Biden's speech was abruptly cut off on Monday in Idaho amid his rocky speech about so-called climate change. The White house has developed a reputation for cutting off video feed during Biden's briefings without public explanation. This time, the feed was cut as Biden tried to answer an unapproved question. "Can I ask you a question?" Biden stated. "One of things that I have been working on with some others is..." *screen goes blank*

The next day...
Sen. Risch Grills Blinken Over Who Cuts Biden Off At The White House. Republican Idaho Sen. James Risch grilled Secretary of State Antony Blinken during Tuesday's hearing about who is "in charge" of President Joe Biden at the White House and specifically asked who has the authority to "push the button" and cut off Biden's microphone. "Somebody in the White House has authority to press the button and stop the president, cut off the president's speaking ability and sound. Who is that person?" Risch asked Blinked during the hearing. "There is no such person," Blinken responded, saying Biden "speaks very clearly and very deliberately for himself. No one else does." "This is a puppeteer act, if you would, and we need to know who's in charge and who is making the decisions," Risch said.

The Editor says...
"'There is no such person,' Blinken responded," in an act which can only be described as lying to Congress, because everybody in America (except Mr. Blinken) has seen the video, and it is reasonable to presume that Mr. Biden didn't cut off his own audio and video. My perception is that someone thought Mr. Biden was about to blurt out something confidential, so the media crew cut his mike just to be safe. There's nothing sinister about that, so it should have been easy for Mr. Blinken to have explained it away — if he had come to the hearing fully prepared.

Uh oh: Genealogist discovers Joe Biden's slave-owning ancestors. Genealogist Alexander Bannerman says Biden has "not a lot of ancestors, and not a lot of slaves" in his family tree, according to a forthcoming book. Yup, our house-plant-in-chief has ancestors who apparently owned slaves.

'Most Popular President in History' Gets Swarmed, Booed By Huge Group of Trump Supporters in Liberal California. President Joe Biden, who is dubbed as the "most popular president in history" doesn't seem to be all that popular considering [derisive] chants seem to break out at every major event and he also gets booed most times he is seen in public. While visiting the liberal state of California on Monday [9/13/2021], President Biden was met by more than 1,000 Trump supporters who were carrying [derisive] signs outside of Long Beach City College. Biden was visiting the state to campaign for Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom who is facing a recall election. Biden's motorcade was mobbed and booed by angry protesters. [Video clip]

Secretary of State Antony Blinken fails to say whether he has been interviewed by FBI over Hunter Biden [...] in congressional hearing on Afghanistan. Secretary of State Antony Blinken faced at least one question he was not expecting when he appeared before Congress on Monday to discuss Afghanistan: Had he handed over documents about Hunter Biden and his dealings in Ukraine to the FBI? Republican Rep. Scott Perry used his five minutes of time to quiz the nation's top diplomat on what he knew about an investigation into the president's wayward son. The result was a witness who struggled to find the words to respond.

They Want You to Hate Each Other. Everything Joe Biden and his team are doing right now depends on the American people despising one another. [...] All they can do is distract from failure with oppression, hoping as they do that oppression will find grateful welcome among those whom they are not currently characterizing as subhuman undesirables. And so they need us to hate each other. This was the gamble Biden made with his venomous speech last Thursday [9/9/2021], when he announced his intention to conscript business owners and make them bully hesitant workers into being vaccinated against COVID-19. This obscene decree was accompanied by a harangue against "the unvaccinated." "We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin," the President spat at tens of millions of American citizens, as if he were their governess and not their employee. "We're going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers." Never mind that this statement is practically an advertisement against the effectiveness of the vaccine. It is above all an invitation to pure spite.

Lara Logan: Biden Regime Ordered OSHA 'To Start Hiding Information From the Public to Promote the COVID Vaccine'. How can you tell when there's a conspiracy afoot? Government agencies start making changes to long-standing common sense protocols in order to promote a narrative or push an agenda. Such is the case of the Biden regime's handling adverse reaction reports pertaining to the so-called Covid-19 "vaccines." [Video clip]

The White House censors Joe Biden. Last week, word emerged from the White House that Biden's own staff can't stand to listen to him. It's not that they don't agree with his policies[, ...] it's that he's such a verbal loose cannon that they shudder when they hear him speak off the cuff. Yesterday [9/13/2021], the White House staffers paying attention to his answers about western wildfires were so worried about where his mouth was taking him that they pulled the plug on him in mid-sentence. [...] Puppet politicians are all well and good when they take their orders and do as they're told. They become a problem either when they try to seize real power or when they become so verbally incontinent that they can no longer be trusted to stick to the script and speak only when their strings are pulled.

Joe and the Football. The football, or Presidential Emergency Satchel, has existed since the Eisenhower administration. The football is carried by a military aide and should accompany the president at all times. The football gives the president the ability to order a nuclear strike regardless of his location. [...] On his person, the president is supposed to carry a plastic card nicknamed "the biscuit." If the president issues a nuclear strike order, alphanumeric codes on the biscuit will authenticate his identity. In other administrations the biscuit and the president have become separated. President Carter left his biscuit in a suit coat that was sent to the cleaners. After President Reagan was shot, his card ended up inside one of his shoes at the hospital. President Clinton, in his typically irresponsible manner, lost his card and didn't tell the Pentagon for several months (thankfully the Cold War was over). To foil an interloper, valid as well as invalid codes reside on the biscuit. The president must memorize the location of the valid codes. The current president could have trouble remembering the correct location. Perhaps Dr. Jill helps him with that.

Joe Biden's great-great-great-grandfather owned two slaves in Maryland, new book reveals. President Joe Biden has often shown pride in his Irish Catholic roots, but on another side of his ancestry, the progressive commander-in-chief's family lineage can be traced back to America's shameful past of slave ownership. Jesse Robinett, Biden's great-great-great grandfather, owned two enslaved people in Maryland in the 1800s, according to a Politico story adapted from a bombshell new book, The Bidens. Biden shares an apparent connection with Robinett through his full name — Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.

White House abruptly cuts feed of Biden mid-sentence as he asks question at wildfires briefing. The White House abruptly cut the feed of President Biden's briefing on wildfires with federal and state officials. During Monday's [9/13/2021] visit to Boise, Idaho, Biden received a briefing about the ongoing wildfires that have plagued several states out west. While Biden spoke for much of the briefing, at one point he said he wanted to hear more from George Geissler of the National Association of State Foresters.

Cognitive decline: the mainstream media is still protecting Biden. I am not a doctor and I have never met Joe Biden. But even two years ago, as he announced his run for the presidency, it was clear, to phrase it as Mark Levin did, that "the spin was off of his fastball." Of course Biden, always a mediocrity, never had much of a fastball. And of course to prevent a Bernie Sanders Democratic nomination and a likely Donald Trump victory, US Rep. James Clyburn led the rush to annoint Biden as their only hope to defeat Trump. And Biden campaigned, sort of, for the presidency from what Sean Hannity called "his basement bunker." Greg Ganske, an MD and former Republican member of Congress, knows Biden, In an op-ed for the Des Moines Register, he decried Biden's mental decline. [...] Biden is a confused and tired old man — but only conservative pundits are noticing that.

Joe Biden isn't the person I knew in Congress. He should get cognitive testing, with the result made public. Why am I concerned about Biden's mental acuity? During the campaign, he said, "I think we can win back the House" when it was already in his party's hands. Super Tuesday became Super Thursday; he forgot the words of the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women are created, by the, you know, you know the thing." He even misstated what office he was running for in South Carolina: "My name's Joe Biden. I'm the Democratic candidate for the Senate." He repeatedly got confused about which state he was in, he called his son the attorney general of the United States and confused British Prime Minister Theresa May with Margaret Thatcher. [...] It's gotten worse since the election. In a CNN interview, he opined, "Um, you know there's a, uh, during World War II, uh you know, where Roosevelt came up with a thing, that uh, you know, was totally different, than a, than the, he called it, you know, the WWII, he had the War Production Board." In March he forgot the name of his Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, at a White House event, calling the Pentagon chief "the guy who runs that outfit over there."

Report: Book Reveals Biden Family Corruption. A new book released Monday indicates Biden family corruption schemes sought to enrich son Hunter and brother Jim Biden while Joe Biden was the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Author of The Bidens: Inside the First Family's Fifty-Year Rise to Power, Ben Schreckinger, was told by one of Jim's former business partners, "Jim's job is to ensure the lifestyle is good for the family." The method of doing so reportedly entailed Hunter and Jim acquiring a hedge fund, Paradigm Global Advisors, which was founded and run by [...] James Park.

Biden Caught Telling Another Whopper, Falsely Claims His "First Job Offer" Came From a Lumber Company in Boise. Biden traveled to Boise, Idaho on Monday [9/13/2021] as part of his visit to the western part of the US. Joe Biden told a bizarre story about how he almost moved to Idaho decades ago because he was offered a job at a lumber company. Biden, who is only a legend in his own mind, said he used to tell the late Idaho Senator Frank Church about his desire to move to the Gem State. "I used to tell Frank Church this, I got a — my first job offer, where I wanted — my deceased wife and I wanted to move to Idaho because — not a joke — it's such a beautiful, beautiful state. And I interviewed for a job at Boise Cascade," Biden said. [...] The New York Post reached out to to Boise Cascade and there is no record of Biden's story being true.

New book reveals how Biden's family used his position for profit. In January 2006, Hunter Biden was a lobbyist for William Oldaker, who had served as a campaign counsel and treasurer to Joe Biden. Jim Biden, Joe's younger brother, called his friend Anthony Lotito for a favor. Hunter needed a new job. Joe was getting ready to run for the Democratic presidential nomination, and his son's work for a Washington lobbying firm would be a problem. At least that was what Lotito later alleged in court filings. Jim and Hunter denied that a call like that ever took place. One way or another, the three of them decided in early 2006 to get into the hedge-fund business. Owning a hedge fund in New York in the years before the financial crisis was like being a sea captain in 18th-century Nantucket. It was the thing to do. They set their eyes on Paradigm Global Advisors, founded by James Park, who was married to the daughter of religious leader Sun Myung Moon.

Biden's Deflection Mandate. President Biden's Thursday speech to the American people about "the battle against COVID-19" had little to do with public health. Its purpose was to distract us from the unmitigated disaster he created in Afghanistan. What better way to accomplish this goal than to issue an imperial edict that would outrage anyone with a rudimentary understanding of the Constitution? Neither Biden nor any federal agency has the power to impose a vaccine mandate on private sector businesses or workers. If Biden fails to grasp this, the people who actually run his administration get it, but they want nothing more from Thursday's speech than a change of subject. Moreover, after a brief spasm of genuine journalism, the legacy media has reverted to slavish repetition of White House talking points regarding the Americans left for dead in Afghanistan and the history of "America's longest war."

Joe Biden Goes Golfing While Americans Left Behind in Afghanistan. President Joe Biden returned to the golf course on Sunday, even though Americans are still left stranded in Afghanistan. The president traveled to Fieldstone Golf Club in Delaware on Sunday where he planned to golf with former Sen. Ted Kaufman. Since concluding his disastrous evacuation of troops out of Afghanistan, Biden has tried to shift the narrative away from the hundreds of Americans that were left behind.

Joseph R. Biden: Hollow Man. Just like a Hollywood set, Joe Biden is all façade and no substance. He's a hollow man. The Biden façade has been carefully crafted over decades by himself, his enablers, and the propaganda ministry. [...] The real Joe Biden is something very different from what one sees from the outside. He is not the kind old uncle. He is short-tempered and nasty when confronted with anything other than fawning adoration. [...] Joe's whole career has been an exercise in dishonesty. We don't need to examine his 48 years on the government dole to get a sense of it. We need only listen to what he's said in the past two weeks. [...] In addition to being a proven liar, Biden is perhaps the most corrupt politician to ever occupy the Oval Office. While vice president, he had a Ukrainian prosecutor fired to stop an investigation of his son, Hunter — and bragged about it to an audience. As revealed by Hunter's abandoned laptop, we now know that "the Big Guy" was getting a 10-percent cut of Hunter's ill-gotten proceeds. The mob call that "wetting his beak." Lunch Bucket Joe's net worth is estimated to be 9 million dollars. Exactly how did someone who has spent his entire career on the government payroll acquire such wealth?

COVID Rules and Regulations are the Means to The End, They are Not The End Itself. The announcement by the Obama Chicago Marxist group, through Joe Biden, will never succeed. The U.S. Constitution does not provide the executive with the power they are attempting to exert; not even close. Their arguments are weak, make no sense, are not framed in legal standing, and are easily dispatched in the courts. The carve-outs themselves nullify most of their predictable arguments. If the vaccine is required as a matter of urgent public health — under an emergency declaration — then why are any exemptions afforded, or groups exempted. [...] Joe Biden is a disposable front-man for the people organizing the objective, so they don't have to worry about political damage. The Biden term was designed for a single set of four-year rapid advancements for the Communist, Marxist and Socialist agenda. The Biden poll ratings and favorability, or lack therein, do not factor into the plan of action; those issues are irrelevant.

Against Biden's Mandates. We oppose President Biden's lawless and authoritarian new mandates announced yesterday. We also denounce his divisive rhetoric toward unvaccinated Americans, his reckless antipathy for federalism, and his threats to usurp state governors. Contra Mr. Biden, this is entirely about freedom and personal choice. His proposed executive orders represent nothing less than centralized tyranny, whereby the federal government operates under no legal constraints. This is government anarchy. The announced policies — including mandated vaccines for private employers of a certain size, mandated vaccines for all healthcare workers, and mandated vaccines for federal employees — are wildly extraconstitutional and far beyond any executive power imagined in the Constitution. Of course, the same is true for OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), which (since its magical creation in 1971) laughably claims jurisdiction over working conditions across millions of private US businesses operating on private property. OSHA is the bludgeon Mr. Biden intends to use against business owners to dictate their arrangements with employees by requiring covid vaccines.

Open Letter to the Tyrant. Some of the people may have voted for Joe Biden. No one voted for mandatory vaccines. No representative of the people so voted. It was never put up for a vote. It was ordered. That is not America, anymore. Americans are thus relieved of any obligation to obey. The time has come to resist. Not with violence. With something more powerful. Refusal. We will not submit to this. It is not negotiable. You have neither the authority nor the right to order people to submit to any medical procedure, to take any drug. To force people to submit their children for medical procedures and to take drugs of dubious palliative value that are known to cause harm. We are not livestock, to be ear-tagged and injected at your pleasure. And America is not a hospital. The tyrant who now occupies the White House believes he can force his will upon you by threatening to remove your livelihood, using threats of financial ruin applied to employers by his regulatory apparat.

Biden Declares Himself Medical Dictator, Threatens to Nullify States' Rights and Coerce the Entire Population into Taking Deadly Vaccine Jabs Against Their Will. We should be celebrating this moment of clarity, for Biden's audacious actions have just turned half of America into a powerful new vaccine resistance movement. As the following map shows, state leaders in about half the states have openly declared their resistance against Biden's authoritarian power grab. Many states have announced their intent to file lawsuits, and Texas Governor Abbott has already issued an executive order protecting medical choice for Texans. [...] As part of his dictatorial decree, fake president Joe Biden declared that he would remove governors from power if they don't comply with his vaccine mandates. This is, of course, an act of treason and war against the United States of America, and it opens the window for the white hats in the US military to remove Biden from office and declare his "rule" to be an unconstitutional occupation. From Biden: "If they'll not help — if these governors won't help us beat the pandemic, I'll use my power as President to get them out of the way." Of course, "get them out of the way" means Biden plans to try to arrest and remove the governors, then rule of America as a dictatorial tyrant.

Biden Morphed Into 'Old Man Yelling at Clouds' During Ground Zero Remembrance. Joe Biden attended the 9/11 memorial on the 20th anniversary of the attack at Ground Zero this morning with his wife, Jill, the Clintons, and the Obamas. [...] But there was a picture of his visit there that had everyone talking. It wasn't a contemplative picture during those solemn moments. It was an odd picture that clashed with the solemnity of the occasion, of him taking down his mask and yelling at someone. [Tweet] It's not clear who he was yelling at. But it is clear what he did, that he took down his mask in the midst of a crowd and yelled, obviating the alleged purpose of the mask. It's something he's done before, even taking down his mask to cough into his empty hand, and then placing his hands on a podium and putting his mask back up. It's like he forgot the script that he's supposed to be delivering on, when he does these things. And it tells us that someone really doesn't believe in its worth when they do these things. It's a picture that completely sums up Biden in one shot: empty gestures and incoherence.

Washington D.C. Archbishop Unleashes on Fake Catholic Joe Biden Over His Support For Abortion. Archbishop Cardinal Wilton Gregory is not happy with self-proclaimed catholic and president Joe Biden who recently said that he does not agree that "life begins at conception," a direct opposition of the Catholic church. "I respect those who believe life begins at the moment of conception," Biden said, according to Catholic News Agency. "I don't agree, but I respect that. I'm not going to impose that on people." The appalling statement by Biden is a direct contradiction of the Catholic Church's teaching on life and conception.

Turley says Ron Klain's vaccine retweet is legal issue for Biden: 'Breathtakingly daft'. Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley called White House chief of staff Ron Klain's recent retweet appearing to praise the Biden administration for executing the "ultimate work-around" for President Biden's recent vaccine mandate "breathtakingly daft." "The retweet was breathtakingly daft on the eve of litigation over the order. It is reminiscent of President Biden admitting that his own White House counsel and their preferred legal experts all said that the eviction moratorium extension was likely unconstitutional," Turley told Fox News on Friday [9/10/2021]. "Courts will now be asked to ignore the admission and uphold a self-admitted evasion of constitutional limits," Turley added. The "problem is that the thing being 'worked around' is the Constitution."

Joe Biden Marks 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Criticizing 'Dark Forces' in America Against 'Peaceful Religion' of Islam. President Joe Biden marked the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks by criticizing Americans for the anti-Muslim anger that occurred in the United States after the attacks took place. "We also witnessed the dark forces of human nature. Fear and anger. Resentment and violence against Muslim-Americans — true and faithful followers of a peaceful religion," Biden said in a prerecorded video published for the occasion. The president said that the principle of "unity" in the country was endangered by the attacks but ultimately prevailed.

The Editor says...
Islam is not "a peaceful religion."

Say Hello to My Little Friend -- Mandated Vaccines. Biden stopped eating ice cream long enough to threaten non-vaxxed Americans. Apparently, Joe is losing patience with us deplorable Americans who have been avoiding the injection and says we better watch out because he's done being Mr. Nice guy. Nope, he doesn't mean you 640,000 U.S. Postal workers. He won't force them to get vaccinated but (fingers crossed) he really hopes that they will-pretty please. Nope, he doesn't mean all of the illegal immigrants he invited who walked across our southern border and were shuffled to secret locations around the country. Nope, he's not threatening the Afghanistan refugees who may or may not have COVID, or other infectious diseases and were also shuffled to secret locations in American cities around the country. Joe's running the largest hide and seek game in history. Can you find the refugees? Come on man, they're hiding in plain sight. Boy oh boy, Biden has really been busy secretly transporting people under the cover of darkness by plane, train, and buses. No wonder Biden is tired and must retreat to Wilmington for a nap and some ice cream. Biden was visibly angry when he recently faced the nation and declared that his "patience is wearing thin." He blamed everyone but himself for the debacles he orchestrated during his short tenure in the Oval Office.

White House Jen Psaki Announces Biden Will Use Full Weight of Federal Regulatory Agencies to Require Vaccination. Here it comes: the Jab is the priority. It has little to do with public health, and everything to do with control toward the "Build Back Better" society. Earlier today [9/9/2021], Jen Psaki was asked if the Biden administration was going to use regulatory agencies to push and enforce mandatory vaccinations in the workplace. Her response was a direct, "Yes, stay tuned". CTH has been warning about this likelihood since December of 2020. The continuum is following exactly as one would suspect. Establish the fear, then start pushing the solution. [...] Joe Biden is a disposable front-man for the people organizing the objective, so they don't have to worry about political damage. The Biden term was designed for a single set of four-year rapid advancements for the Democrat Socialist agenda. The Biden poll ratings and favorability, or lack therein, do not factor into the plan of action; those issues are irrelevant.

Biden's Sweeping Vaccination Mandates. Joe Biden today [9/9/2021] announced sweeping new coronavirus vaccine mandates of the kind he and key administration officials have previously said they would not impose. Biden will require that all federal employees be vaccinated, with no option for those who prefer to be regularly tested instead. [...] Much of the instant commentary I've seen about this decision views it as an attempt to deflect attention from the Afghanistan debacle. That may be part of what's going on. But the main reason for the policy is that the surge of the coronavirus constitutes a massive threat to Biden's presidency and to his political party. Biden campaigned relentlessly on the pandemic. He blamed Donald Trump for it, ridiculously, and pledged to end the pandemic. He expected the vaccines that were about to become available (thanks in part to Trump) to do the trick, and he expected the end of the pandemic and the resulting economic surge to ensure his popularity. It hasn't worked out that way, and voters are holding Biden responsible. That's why he has reversed course on vaccine mandates. It's an act of desperation.

Biden Has Completed the Most Lucrative and Devastating Treason In World History. America has been sold to the Chinese. This explains stolen elections and the disaster in Afghanistan. The treason of Biden is unparalleled. Follow this story as you will see how America has been sold out to Chinese interests. This connects most of the dots. On the industrial/economic front, lithium is the new oil. The most important use of lithium is in rechargeable batteries for mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras and electric vehicles. Lithium is also used in some non-rechargeable batteries for things like heart pacemakers, toys and clocks. Big Pharma is happy because lithium has profound and far-reaching impacts on many medical conditions ranging from depression to thyroid to heart health. Did I mention the military applications of lithium? Every weapon system requires a battery to provide electrical power for various functions and this applies, without exception to all weapons systems and supporting transportation systems in military.

One Line From Biden's Vaccine Mandate Speech Should Make 'Free People' Very Uncomfortable. During his speech announcing expansive new vaccine mandates on Thursday, President Biden took aim at Republican governors who have continued to value freedom in their responses to Covid-19, threatening to use his "powers" to "get them out." After blasting the nearly 80 million Americans who have not gotten vaccinated, the president turned his ire to GOP governors, particularly Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. "To make matters worse, there are elected officials actively working to undermine the fight against COVID-19," he said. "Instead of encouraging people to get vaccinated and mask up, they're ordering mobile morgues for the unvaccinated dying from COVID in their communities.

Biden's vaccine mandate speech! Thursday [9/9/2021], President Biden delivered the most insulting, contemptuous and divisive speech by a president in US history. We all know by now that Joe Biden does not care one iota about the American people. His life's work has been dedicated to enriching his own family, no more, no less. And like the rest of the left, he has contempt for any and all who dare to disagree with him. His is the most destructive administration in history. He set out to undo the many successes of President Trump and he has done exactly that: opened the border to all comers, ended our energy independence, destroyed the economy and job market and instigated the worst inflation since the Carter administration. His catastrophically idiotic withdrawal from Afghanistan has awakened previously unengaged citizens to the depth and breadth of Biden's malicious incompetence.

Joe Biden Threatens the Unvaccinated and Announces His Unconstitutional Vaccine Mandate in Disturbing, Dictatorial Speech. Today [9/9/2021], Joe Biden took to the podium and officially announced a vaccine mandate from the federal level hitting all private businesses with over 100 employees. In making that announcement, he trashed the unvaccinated, threatened them, and generally stoked the flames of division in such a way that should worry everyone. He also asserted himself as a dictatorial figure, able to push governors "out the way" who push back on his tyrannical orders. I'll go ahead and say it before we get into the clips: This is the most disturbing speech I've ever heard from a president. [Video clip] Here's the president trashing the unvaccinated in a way that sounds like he's trying to foment a civil war, and no, I'm not kidding. It's that bad, with him repeatedly talking about anger toward the unvaccinated and blaming them for all of society's ills. [Video clip] Later in the speech, he went at the unvaccinated again in threatening fashion. I was almost in disbelief at his tone and word choice.

The Biden Administration Announces an End to Its Legislative Agenda. Effectively, the Biden Administration is signaling to all parties involved that it no longer has any interest in attempting to get legislation through Congress. Instead, it will simply fight through the use of executive actions that are almost certainly going to be challenged in the courts and fail. They cannot get even the most basic parts of their agenda through Congress. Biden himself is so underwater in the polling and in the eyes of his peers that he has no political clout to speak of. His policies are being stopped by Joe Manchin, a member of his own party, who is more concerned with his voters and his re-election chances than he is pushing the party's agenda. And that, by the way, is a clear sign that the Democratic Party, not the Republican Party, is falling apart at the seams. When your party is in power, you have some leeway to push the party agenda even if your voters don't like it. But if you can't even get a single piece of your legislative agenda through Congress because of a member of your own party, you're in serious trouble.

Biden Has A 'Whole Of Government' Plan For Everything, Except Rescuing Americans From Afghanistan. After the Supreme Court decided not to stop a Texas abortion law from going into effect, President Joe Biden promised that he'd "launch a whole-of-government effort to respond to this decision." No one knows what that means, exactly, but Biden has promised "whole of government" solutions for everything under the sun. Everything, that is, except rescuing Americans stuck in Talibanistan. In his eight short months in the White House, Biden has made the already empty phrase "whole of government" a nauseating cliché. He has a "whole-of-government agenda" to fight COVID, to tackle global warming, to "create good-paying, union jobs for Americans." His administration announced a "whole-of-government process that will lift up the voices of federal scientists of many perspectives and backgrounds." He promises a "whole-of-government effort" to promote competition in the American economy.

Biden's own staff can't stand to watch his press conferences. [Scroll down] When Biden is referring to the mysterious "they" who don't want him to take questions, he's talking about his "advisers." In other words, we still don't know who is dictating his policies but it appears that everyone in Biden's orbit is begging him to keep his mouth shut and be the good little puppet they need. [...] In sum, Biden is a loose cannon who is all mouth and no brain — and his staff knows and fears it.

Joe Biden Is a Total Failure. Indicative of the severity of the administration's problems is that the leak of the contents of the conversation with Ghani show that there are people in this administration, as there were in Trump's and Nixon's, who wanted to bring it down, even with illegal leaks. Trump had the excuse of taking over a White House full of Democrats. With Biden, even Democrats are disgusted and alarmed at the extent of his administration's shortcomings. These internal indiscretions may indicate that there is some chance that the U.S. attorney in Delaware will open up the extent of the Biden family skulduggery in financial relations with several countries, centering on the president's flamboyantly beleaguered son Hunter.

President Biden Must Be Impeached. Joe Biden should not be allowed to resign to escape punishment for he has committed high crimes and misdemeanors. He must be impeached. Even American allies agree. [...] Add treason to the charges of a necessary impeachment. Biden threatened, in the depth of his self-induced chaos, "Any attack on our forces or disruption of our operations at the airport will be met with a swift and forceful response." When his warning was answered with a suicide bombing outside the gates of the airport that left 13 US servicemen and women, and an estimated 170 Afghanis, dead, plus tens of other American soldiers badly maimed, Biden abandoned his commitment to remain until every American in Afghanistan was home. Instead, he cut and ran, keeping to a self-imposed arbitrary deadline. The American President deserted his countrymen and women, leaving them to their fate in enemy territory. The death of those outside the Kabul Airport's perimeter was preventable. The Taliban had offered America full control over Kabul until August 31. Biden refused. This negligent act gave Kabul to the Taliban and, with it, full control of the city including all the access roads to the perimeter fence of the commercial airport.

Biden and the Left-wing Standard of Attacking Presidents. When Donald Trump's confidential phone calls with foreign leaders were leaked to the press it was celebrated by the media and the Left as a sort of blood sport. Now are we to think the same of the embarrassing leaked phone call between Biden and the Afghan president? Donald Trump was impeached over a phone call with the Ukrainian president for supposedly pressuring Ukraine, by the threat of holding up foreign aid, to conduct an investigation of the Biden family syndicate's shenanigans. So, what are we to make then of Biden's demand that the Afghan president lie to the world so that his fragile government did not appear in jeopardy, even if, Biden acknowledged, it, of course, was — with the added insinuation that Biden's commitment to support the Afghan government with U.S. military power was predicated on his compliance with parroting such lies?

Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom Urgently Need The Politics of COVID as a Tool For Distraction. Biden's inflation is crushing the middle-class. Gas prices are intentionally skyrocketing. Obama Term-3 policies are destroying jobs and the working class. The southern border is in crisis; widespread illegal immigration is alarming. Biden's Afghanistan strategy was/is [very bad] (by design). Thirteen U.S. service members were killed by JoeBama policy. Leftist promoted wokeism as a social engineering tool is running amok. Schools are a battleground between parents and Obama's union orcs. Joe Biden himself is a hot mess of incompetence and dementia on a scale they can no longer keep hidden. And the poll numbers for Biden overall are showing it. The JoeBama crew must bury all of it by weaponizing the use of COVID-19 fear. There is no other issue large enough to protect the JoeBama agenda without using COVID. COVID-19 is the only political tool with the outcome to keep all other purposeful crises under control. That urgent narrative is what's behind this little soundbite segment from the professional media proletariat. [Video clip]

Why Can't Joe Biden Stop Lying? Why can't Joe Biden stop lying? That was my thought when I saw that the president had once again completely made up his attendance at a past event, this time while hosting a group of Jewish leaders. According to Biden via a bumbling, confusing claim, he visited the Tree of Life synagogue following a mass shooting that occurred there some years ago. Biden had not, in fact, visited the Tree of Life synagogue. Further, the president has told that lie several times, yet he keeps repeating it. That tracks with other whoppers, such as his claim that he was part of the Civil Rights movement in Delaware, or that he was arrested in South Africa. More recently, he claimed to have driven an 18-wheeler in his younger years, something that decidedly did not happen. Biden, for all the claims that his administration represented a return to honesty ("how refreshing" as Brian Stelter would say), has shown himself to be a consistent fount of dishonest commentary, and he often lies about the dumbest things. Does anyone really believe he gave "Corn Pop" a good talking to at the city pool?

Biden's Afghanistan Speech Fails to Fool America. President Biden's address to the nation concerning his surrender of Afghanistan to the Taliban was obviously a desperate attempt to convince the public that it wasn't the disaster we watched in real time. [...] Yet Biden's Tuesday address acknowledged none of this. It was an unnerving admixture of delusion and defiance. Where everyone else saw incompetence and chaos, he saw "extraordinary success." Where everyone else saw betrayal and dishonor, he saw "a mission of mercy." Where everyone else saw an arbitrary deadline, he saw a courageous decision "designed to save American lives." Where everyone else saw surrender and shame, he saw an "honored commitment." [...] To grasp how strange and truculent this oration was, it is necessary to watch it. Only the most rabid partisans will be able to do so and conclude that this man is "normal."

Joe Biden: Out-Of-Touch Carnival Barker. Joe Biden is an angry old man. He addressed the nation yesterday afternoon [8/31/2021] by shouting at us about what an "extraordinary success" his retreat from Afghanistan had been. None but the most loyal Biden poodles were fooled. The president is so far gone that he seems unaware we watched his botched surrender to the Taliban in real time. We saw a reckless mission that left both Americans and Afghans stranded and desperate to get to an airport that was being guarded by a band of erratic, medieval terrorists. We saw our military blown to bits by suicide bombers. We saw a president checking his watch during what is usually referred to as a "dignified" transfer of the remains of slain American warriors. The Washington Post, which helped elect this fool, was unable this week to find a Gold Star family that felt the president treated them with dignity and compassion in Dover. They said Biden was shallow, distracted and that he blabbed endlessly about Beau Biden and his own personal grief. They know — and so do we — that Biden is nothing more than an unctuous huckster who's unable to read a room.

The glaring truth about Biden and his masters. Joe Biden, the so-called president, is nothing more than a marionette controlled by a gaggle of career bureaucrats and academics, none of whom has ever contributed anything substantial to our once vibrant society. Indeed, they are nothing more than destroyers, power-mad ideologues who use a demented old grifter as a mouthpiece while they dismantle, piece by piece, our once great Republic. Globalism is their ultimate goal, and the nightmare we're experiencing brings us ever closer to that frightening reality. Biden is a figurehead for the Marxist madness that's corrupting our schools, destroying small business, and slowly but surely eliminating our nation's sovereignty. The current push to force Americans to "register" their firearms under a United Nations gun-grabbing scheme is just one example of the ongoing attack on our cherished freedoms. Another glaring example is the fascist collaboration between the ruling elites and Big Tech to silence dissent, a clear violation of the First Amendment. If the Marxist drive continues, it will go on and on until the Bill of Rights is little more than a footnote in a long forgotten history.

Biden Broke His Main Promise — to Control the Pandemic. Joe Biden promised to control the coronavirus pandemic, and he is failing. Today, there are more new coronavirus cases than there were at this point in 2020. The economy is sputtering, and parents are starting to worry that schools will close once again. Moreover, FDA officials are resigning in protest at the White House's effort to impose booster shots that they say are not yet supported by scientific evidence — breaking a central Biden campaign promise to "follow the science." [...] Biden's main pitch on the coronavirus pandemic was that he was going to impose draconian federal government controls that Trump had avoided using, and which many Democrats, having talked themselves into a panic, favored. Biden adopted masks as a kind of talismanic symbol, along with promises to impose the rule of "experts" like Dr. Anthony Fauci, whom the media and the left elevated into a mythical political hero despite his many failures and reversals of medical opinion.

Biden Punts to Congress on Voting Rights, Abortion as Radicals Fume. Joe Biden has issued more executive orders during his first eight months in office than every single president except his old boss, Barack Obama. But he says he can't do anything to keep Republicans from establishing voting integrity in the states or restricting abortion. That's a job that Congress has to do. The Constitution is proving to be a pesky impediment to Biden and the Democrats' best-laid plans to remake America. Biden says he's done all that he can legally do to "protect" voting rights and the right to abortion. It's now up to Congress to move the ball forward.

It's a Movement: Chanting Against Biden and They're Not Holding Back. Demented grandpa is not a good look when it gets Americans killed. The veil that the media had placed over Biden suddenly got ripped off for a lot of people and they saw what a deficient leader and human being he truly was — for a lot of people who may not have been looking closely before. The media may try to spin for him in the future but it's going to be hard to stuff that genie back in the bottle, especially when he continues to fail to address the ongoing issues.

Is Joe Biden Senile or Just Dumb? Sometimes it is difficult to know whether or not Joe Biden is senile or just dumb. I know it's tempting to ascribe everything he does to his dementia, but he's been stupid for his whole life. Even people suffering from dementia have moments of lucidity, so it's really impossible to know what is the true motivation behind the President's asininity. The effects and the facts of it, however, are easy and important to dissect, because whether it's due to him losing his grip on reality, that he's just a very simple and dumb man, or a combination of both doesn't really matter, what matters is the end result. There are, of course, countless examples of Joe Biden saying or doing things that are untethered to reality. He regularly lies about his own life — in his first presidential run in 1987, he snapped at a questioner who dared to ask about his grade, famously going off on a rant about his own brilliance and accomplishments, all of which were lies (you'd think he'd know his own life's story) — and this was before his senility, he was in his 40s at the time. A few months after making a complete fool of himself there, Biden suffered two brain aneurysms, doing untold damage to something already not functioning properly. Joe Biden has never been playing with a full deck, now he doesn't even seem to be playing with cards.

"Cheat Sheet" Biden "Lost" Himself During A Speech Again, Ignores A Staffer As He Wanders Off In The Wrong Direction. Joe Biden traveled to Louisiana on Friday [9/3/2021] to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Ida. Biden delivered remarks on the destruction by Ida in 100-degree heat and humidity in LaPlace, Louisiana Friday afternoon. It was obvious that Biden couldn't handle the heat or had another brain freeze during his speech.

Biden Surrendered to the Taliban; The GOP Must Not Surrender to Biden. Only one man lost his job over Afghanistan. Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller challenged Biden's incompetent and spineless Joint Chiefs of Staff to take responsibility for their dereliction of duty that led directly to the catastrophe in Afghanistan. Taking responsibility meant resigning. Biden's military men immediately smeared him as mentally ill and forced him out of the Marines. Biden is directly responsible for the worst, most humiliating, most dangerous — yet completely avoidable — defeat in the history of American warfare. He has betrayed the country that elected him and that he is sworn to serve. Yet Biden has shown no remorse and taken no responsibility for the damage he has done. Instead, he has brazenly lied and called his own actions a "success." As for his allies, he has blamed the Afghan military, the Afghan president and, of course, his adversary Donald Trump for the mess he single-handedly created. Hundreds are already dead and legions of unknown and uncountable others await death from terrorists whom Biden has freed, empowered and armed.

20% want Biden vote back. Millions of people are reconsidering their vote for President Joe Biden last year as they see him hobble through a growing stack of national problems. The latest Zogby Poll provided to Secrets said that 20% "regret voting for President Biden." Remarkably, 21% of Democrats expressed regret, as did 29% of his Republican voters. The overall hit to Biden was tempered by independents, of which just 14% said they wanted their vote back.

One in Five Americans Want to Take Back Their 2020 Biden Vote. A remarkable one in five President Joe Biden voters said they regret voting for the 78-year-old in the last presidential election, according to the latest Zogby poll released on Friday [9/3/2021]. The Zogby poll was taken before Kabul, Afghanistan, was conquered by the Taliban jihadist organization, and Biden's botched Afghanistan withdrawal turned deadly, killing 13 U.S. services members and injuring more. There was also 76 percent of the respondents who said "no" they do not regret their vote, and four percent said they were "unsure."

The 'Mr. Nice Guy Joe' everyone expected is suddenly 'Mean Mr. Biden'. President Joe Biden got elected largely because millions of voters found him caring and empathetic. Mr. Nice Guy, the argument went, would be a welcome relief from the sometimes abrasive and combative President Donald Trump. Yet as the president retreated from Kabul, to the beat of the Taliban's drummer, Nice-guy Joe morphed into Mean Mr. Biden. The president's true colors now shine with searing clarity. He has exposed himself as calculating, callous and cruel.

Afghanistan fiasco may have been the result of blackmail. Why would our military commanders willingly give up Bagram, a strategic airport built by the Russians, and why would they willingly leave $85 billion in military hardware behind? Why would they leave thousands of Americans stranded behind enemy lines while providing the Taliban a "kill list" of those Americans left behind? Unlike previous withdrawals, where it is customary upon withdrawal to first evacuate our citizens, and then destroy the equipment and blow up the bases, we did the opposite. We did not evacuate our citizens. We did not destroy the equipment. And we did not blow up the bases. We have learned that the Biden administration cut off all communication with the anti-Taliban resistance group, the National Front. Although Ali Nazar, head of foreign relations for the group, has said he "tried to reach out," there has been no response from the Biden administration. Glenn Beck recently reported that his mission to rescue Afghan Christians has been blocked by our State Department and the White House, and he fears that they may be burned alive or crucified by the Taliban. Are we to believe that our military leadership, led by four-star generals, is so naïve and incompetent? Highly unlikely!

Biden's Brain And Mouth Are Completely Disconnected. During press conferences, Obama and Clinton were super cool, always dodging body blows and haymakers from the press corps. They'd bob and weave, deflect and distract, pontificate and bloviate and win by TKO every time. But President Joe Biden is the opposite of cool, the embodiment of a stumbling, stammering dweeb, immediately stumped when questioned. His brain works so slow you can almost hear him mentally flipping through a Rolodex of flashcards filled with all the important things his advisers told him to say. This last week has been really tough on old addled-brained Joe. Amid the worst pullout of U.S. troops in history — which resulted in the deaths of 13 American service members and left hundreds of U.S. citizens stranded in the country — Biden was forced to face reporters and, to put it mildly, he did not fare well.

Jen Psaki keeps lying for Joe Biden on Afghanistan. The truth doesn't mind being questioned, but a lie doesn't like to be challenged: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki offered a fine example of that observation Wednesday [9/1/2021] by refusing to discuss that [...] July 23 phone call — leaked audio of which shows President Joe Biden knew well in advance that Afghanistan's army was falling before the Taliban and that the situation was dire. "The perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things aren't going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban," he told Afghan President Ashraf Ghani. "And there's a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture." Truth [notwithstanding,] Biden needed his pullout to seem safe.

After Losing a War and Stranding Americans in Afghanistan, Biden's Pentagon Pivots Back to Race. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Pentagon spokesman John Kirby just left an untold number of Americans stranded in Afghanistan. A week ago today, 13 American service members died in a terrorist attack at the Kabul airport that happened because Austin and the generals left it surrounded by enemy forces. They had their eye off the ball of their main jobs, which are protecting Americans and protecting our forces. They have reverted to taking their eye off the ball again.

Why Biden's Call With Ghani Matters. Joe Biden came into office inheriting the war in Afghanistan. But unlike previous presidents, he inherited a war that was relatively quiescent by Afghanistan standards, involved few American troops on the ground, and was in a phaseout due to an agreement his predecessor had struck with the Afghan government and the Taliban. Under that deal, the U.S. would remove its troops by May 1, 2021, if the Taliban and Afghan government met certain conditions. Biden has played both sides of the Trump deal, both arguing that it tied his hands and that he would have sought a similar deal himself.

Biden Claims He Visited Pittsburgh Synagogue That Was Attacked; Synagogue Says That's False. Democrat President Joe Biden claimed on Thursday that he visited the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, which was the site of a white supremacist terrorist attack that killed 11 people in 2018. "I remember spending time at the, you know, uh, going to, uh, the, uh, you know, the Tree of Life synagogue, speaking with them," Biden said during remarks with Jewish leaders, later seeming to note that he was specifically talking about the attacks in Pittsburgh, which is where the synagogue is located.

Biden goes off on tangent about daughter's wedding, Jewish song in meeting with rabbis. President Biden on Thursday [9/2/2021] diverged off-topic during a call with Jewish leaders to complain about his daughter's wedding to a Jewish doctor, while forgetting the names of two songs that are staples of Catholic and Jewish weddings. The virtual call was to mark the start of the holiest time of the year for Jewish people. Rosh Hashanah, which marks the new year in the Jewish calendar, starts Monday and Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, will be celebrated this month. But Mr. Biden switched topics and spent a good portion of his remarks venting about his daughter, Ashley, not playing his favorite Catholic hymn at her wedding.

Tree of Life synagogue disputes Biden's claim he visited after massacre. President Biden on Thursday told Jewish leaders that he spent time at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh after the October 2018 mass murder of 11 people there — but the synagogue told The [New York] Post he never visited. "I remember spending time at the, you know, going to the, you know, the Tree of Life synagogue, speaking with them," Biden said in a 16-minute virtual address ahead of the Jewish holidays Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Barb Feige, executive director of the Tree of Life, said that Biden did not visit the synagogue in the nearly three years since the anti-Semitic attack. In a phone interview, Feige, executive director since July 2019, said firmly that "no" Biden didn't visit, even before taking office when he had a lower public profile as a former vice president and then-Democratic presidential candidate.

Jen Psaki Goes Into Full Gaslighting Mode on the Leaked Call but Trips Over Her Own Words. Yesterday [8/31/2021], I reported about a leaked call between Joe Biden and Afghanistan (former) President Ashraf Ghani. Reuters got a transcript and audio of the July 23rd call during which Biden allegedly told Ghani that he had to publicly present the "perception" that the fight against the Taliban was going well "whether it is true or not." [...] So he's lying to our faces, blowing off his legal briefing requirement, and trying to get Ghani to basically do what he was doing and say something that wasn't true publicly. Can we say impeachment yet? White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about the leaked call and she did all she could, running as far and as fast as she could, from the question. [Video clip]

Biden's Afghanistan speech written poorly with even worse delivery, experts say. Former government speechwriters and messaging experts are slamming President Biden over his address to the nation Tuesday, criticizing the president for his defensive delivery and contradictory statements, while the nation mourns the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and while Americans remain stranded in Afghanistan. Biden delivered a fiery speech a day after U.S. troops fully exited from Afghanistan, taking full "responsibility" for the decision to remove troops, while also shifting blame onto former President Donald Trump and the Afghan security forces for the chaos and death that unfolded.

Biden reportedly has a history of disrespecting Gold Star families. President Biden is struggling to live up to his "empathizer in chief" label given by some media at the start of his presidency after facing a wave of backlash for his treatment of Gold Star families following last week's terrorist attack in Kabul, Afghanistan, that left 13 U.S. service members dead and 22 wounded. The president on Sunday met in Dover, Delaware, with the family members of the 13 killed, but several of them have spoken out against him in the days since, accusing him of repeatedly bringing up his late son Beau and saying he routinely checked his watch during the dignified transfer of the deceased's remains.

No, Mr. President, we won't 'move on' from your Afghanistan disaster. "That was four or five days ago" is quickly becoming the permanent mantra of the Biden administration and its media allies. Journey back a mere two weeks, and you will recall President Joe Biden, in a home-field-advantage interview with George Stephanopoulos, saying those words about the harrowing scenes at the Kabul airport. First of all, it wasn't true — it had only been two days. More important, every promise the president made turned out to be false: He didn't end the violence at the airport, and he didn't maintain our troop presence until every last American was out. Now more than 100 American citizens are stranded. In Afghanistan. Under the Taliban. Even journalists who worked for the US-government-funded Voice of America and Radio Free Europe are abandoned to the vicious whims of the Taliban.

Joe Biden's call to Afghan prez is impeachable. Psst, Nancy Pelosi! Still looking for a phone call worth impeaching a president? Do I have news for you. Reuters has a bombshell report about a July phone call between Joe Biden and then-Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani, in which the US president promises military aid in return for lies. The "perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things aren't going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban," says Biden in the July 23 call. "And there's a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture." Whether it is true or not. No, things weren't going well, three weeks after the US abandoned Bagram Airfield in the dead of night. Biden's solution was to create the "perception" that all was fine.

Maybe If Biden Yells Loud Enough? [Scroll down] Americans also want to know why billions of military grade weaponry, vehicles, and equipment was left abandoned to fall into the hands of everyone from ISIS, to Iran, to China and Russia and all of the above. Not to mention the military dogs and yes, the still unknown number of American citizens left stranded despite the constant lie anyone who wasn't evacuated simply wanted to hang around to see the Taliban late show. This screaming, hours-late presentation by our pretend Commander-In-Chief was the last gasp of a man blaming everyone but himself for a debacle too great to gaslight, even for Democrats. Agencies are turning on one another. The Pentagon points to State. State points to our intelligence agencies. All of them deflecting Biden's blame away or back at him.

Unless he reveals whose idea it really was, and tells us whose orders he's following...
Joe Biden owns the Afghanistan debacle all to himself. Joe Biden addressed the nation on his extremely flawed and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan. His comments came a day late and a dollar short once again, despite claiming that the buck stops with him." His address on August 31 blamed everybody but himself for the utter failure of his withdrawal. Once again, he threw his military advisers under the bus, stating that they unanimously recommended closing Bagram Air Base over Kabul International for the evacuation. Anyone with an ounce of strategic planning training knew that this was a bad choice. Why would you withdraw and surrender a base with a 30-mile defensible perimeter and air support over one crammed into a tight urban setting surrounded by high ground, cover and concealment, and civilian shields?

A President With a Head of Wood. "No one's being killed right now", President Biden told George Stephanopoulos, as he knocked on wood. That was after a 14-year-old girl was crushed in a stampede of humanity at the Kabul airport and just days after people were plunging to earth from C-17 landing gear. 13 Americans were killed by the Taliban enabling terrorists a week later. Biden checked his watch while those 13 dead Americans were unloaded before him. Then in a disgusting display of hubris, played his dead son "Beau Card" when he spoke to relatives. Biden called the Afghanistan debacle, an objectively disastrous foreign policy decision and easily the worst in this century, a success. The disaster, he created, was a Biden "win" because 100,000 (mostly un-vetted Afghans) stampeding to military transports. He's an arsonist who sets a house on fire and later takes credit for saving a pet goldfish.

Biden didn't just lose Afghanistan. He did it on purpose. It's nearly impossible to overstate Joe Biden's incompetence. [...] He is a liar of galactic proportions. He accepts no responsibility for anything. Nothing he says its the truth. Nothing. Biden famously made a series of predictions over the last few months and absolutely all of them were wrong. [...] We are more at risk than we were prior to 9-11. One wonders how many Haqqani and ISIS will be brought into the US in the chaos of the evacuations. Or they can simply walk into the US across the open Southern border. For this disaster Biden is blaming everyone on Earth except for himself. HE made the decision to leave Americans behind, HE made the decision to cut and run. He blamed Trump for the deal HE ignored.

Biden Tried to Send Pallets of Cash to the Taliban as Kabul Fell. On August 14, Secretary of State Blinken spoke with Afghanistan's former president and promised that the Biden administration would provide a bulk shipment of dollars. The next day Kabul fell. On that same call, Afghanistan's former leader had agreed to surrender power to the Taliban. The Biden administration had effectively agreed to provide a massive infusion of cash to the Taliban. But the final deal fell through, the Afghan government fled, and the Taliban took Kabul. The bulk shipment of dollars never did arrive. Biden's diplomats scrambled to evacuate from Kabul. Ajmal Ahmady, the governor of DAB, Afghanistan's central bank, already had a ticket and headed to the airport. He managed to get on a military plane. Since then he's tweeted that he was warned that the Taliban had come looking for him.

This Guy Is Senile and Can the Media Stop Pretending He's Not? [Scroll down] The best part is when Biden just goes and gives away the scam, whether announcing that he's been ordered not to answer questions or that he's got a list of pre-approved questions he has to follow. [...] He's angry and shouts, or he whispers like he's offering passing kids a chance to see the puppies he's got in his van. And whatever dope they pump him up with to get through the list of scripted questions lasts maybe ten minutes, and then you can see the wheels coming off.

The Editor says...
There are lots of people who should be ashamed that Joe Biden hasn't already been removed from office. The one person who should be most ashamed is Kamala Harris. The prospect of Kamala Harris becoming the U.S. President is so abhorrent to the leaders of both parties that the senile, incompetent puppet Joe Biden is safe.

Biden Is A Dirtbag Who's Always Exploited Tragedy. The President of the United States has a history of exploiting his personal loss for personal gain, it just backfired this time. Decorum and grief is likely the only thing that stopped one or more of these families from chewing out or even taking a swing at Biden. You'd think someone would tell him to knock it off, that it's gross to use tragedy that way, but you'd be wrong. You'd also think a man almost 80 years wouldn't need to be told that, which is an indication of just how stupid he really is.

For Joe Biden, It's All Downhill From Here. Joe Biden's presidency is not going well. That's been apparent for a long time. [...] No, it's not because Biden's breathtaking incompetence, lack of empathy, and visible anger have been surprising. That's been baked into the cake since the beginning. Rather, things have changed because, for the first time since Biden took the oath of office, he's taking heat from an entity he thought was on his side — the deep state. Yesterday [8/31/2021], news broke of a not-so-perfect phone call between Joe Biden and Afghanistan's coward-in-chief, Ashraf Ghani, the former Afghan president who fled his country instead of staying to lead the fight for its survival. What was revealed is that Biden asked Ghani to falsify the situation on the ground in order to change the "perception" that things were going badly against the Taliban.

Biden's Afghanistan baloney: Such a success, let us count the ways. Never mind what your lying eyes just witnessed, President Biden told the world and America, the end of the war in Afghanistan was a historic success. The withdrawal that he promised not long ago would be "safe and orderly," that was nothing but, couldn't have gone any other way. The only alternative to this horribly bungled pullout was escalation, another year or five or 10 of war, dooming the American military to even more perilous fighting. In other words: If you find yourself critiquing the frenzied and chaotic exit, wishing there had been some semblance of good planning, you may as well be rooting for the death of more American troops. It was a success that, contrary to what Biden not long ago told the American people would happen, a government we supported over the course of two decades, with $2 trillion in taxpayer investments and 800,000 U.S. troops, melted in minutes.

Joe Biden Is Our Waterloo. Thanks to Biden, every American in Afghanistan is surrounded by our enemy, the Taliban. Biden's team is incapable of uttering that fact and instead calls them "security partners," He's gone so far as to give the Taliban intelligence on who is in-country under the guise of letting these people pass Taliban checkpoints. In fact, those are death warrants for both the Americans and Afghan allies left behind. There are people, though, making it to America: Afghans. In 2010, when Afghanistan was relatively peaceful and the Taliban subdued, 99% of Afghan citizens said they supported the imposition of sharia law. Moreover, it appears that most of the people who battled their way onto the planes leaving Kabul are military-aged young men. We have learned that these Afghans are not vetted before being loosed upon us — reflecting the same behavior seen on the Southern border.

The Cynical, Despicable 'Stuttering' Con Unravels. [Scroll down] By 2020, try as they might to "hide the decline," his handlers were losing control. This is where the media came to the rescue. Writing in the January 2020 edition of The Atlantic, former Esquire editor John Hendrickson offered would-be Biden voters a way to deny the obvious. Yes, Biden's first Democratic debate in July 2019 was a "disaster." Yes, some of his answers had been "meandering and difficult to parse." Yes, he seemed "confused and out of touch." Yes, "His verbal stumbles have voters worried about his mental fitness." Being in on the con, wittingly or not, Henderickson threw Biden a lifeline — "Maybe they'd be more understanding," he said of tentative Biden supporters, "if they knew he's still fighting a stutter." Yes, that was it, a "stutter." Henderickson spoke with authority. He was a stutter survivor himself. Who dared contradict him? Sort of like FDR, thought the credulous reader, Biden had fought valiantly throughout his political career to overcome a physical handicap. Big Media played along.

Biden Declares War Over, Shifts Blame for Botching Withdrawal. Almost exactly 24 hours after the last cargo plane carrying Americans lumbered down the Kabul airport runway, President Biden started walking. He exited the Oval Office, passed through the Cross Hall of the White House, and entered the State Dining Room. He arrived with a full head of steam, and he was there to say that the war in Afghanistan, the longest war in American history, was over. In remarks that lasted roughly half an hour, Biden took "full responsibility for the decision" to end the war while, at the same time, pushing responsibility onto others for how it ended.

Who Shall Rescue Us from Joe Biden? With placeholder president-in-name-only Joe Biden's horrifying, juvenescent, and callow surrender of Afghanistan, the Dems' and Never-Trumpers' grand succession plan après Donald Trump has now utterly collapsed. President Joe Biden is officially a disgrace to the office, the nation, and its citizens. Ruined by his native low IQ arrogance, malicious incompetence, and aging mental health infirmities, and shunned by our allies, Joe Biden has no standing. Relegating serious Afghan retrograde decisions to a collection of woke fools, and duplicitous useless technocrats would never be forgivable even if Biden were a completely innocent incapacitated bystander. Yet in his increasingly rare coherent nano-moments, Biden will not admit to having allowed — indeed steered — his handlers to orchestrate a colossal geopolitical wreck, easily avoidable, a predictable and ignoble coda to his mendacious, dishonorable, and mediocre career.

With Americans, allies left behind, a clueless Biden declares Afghan mission 'extraordinary success'. Exactly 24 hours after the last US military transport plane departed Kabul, leaving hundreds of Americans and thousands of Afghan allies at the mercy of terrorists who've never shown any, President Joe Biden declared the mission an "extraordinary success." What a slap in the face to the families of the 13 American service members and hundreds of civilians who died last week when the Taliban let a suicide bomber through their checkpoints outside the Kabul airport. Clearly angry that any dare criticize him, Biden showed no remorse, admitted no real responsibility. Instead, he resorted to the same tired talking points and weird non sequiturs he's trotted out for two weeks to explain once again why he had no regrets about his "wise decision."

Biden's Afghanistan Speech Shows He Is Sociopathic. How many times has Joe Biden ranted at us about why he is right on Afghanistan? I've lost track, but I think this at least the fifth "official" rant. But this one was the worst yet and you could feel it. He was just so angry. He's not angry at the Taliban. He's not angry at his own failures or those of his people. He's angry at the people left behind. And, he's angry at you. He's angry at you for not simply accepting what an "extraordinary success" this all was. He keeps screaming about ending the war, a point that no one is even contesting or really talking about — only about his incompetent handling of it — which he doesn't want to deal with, so he keeps trying to switch the focus.

Biden Administration Erased Afghan Weapons Reports From Federal Websites. The War in Afghanistan has always been a black box, but the Biden administration just made matters worse. According to an admission obtained from the State Department, Biden officials recently directed federal agencies to scrub their websites of official reports detailing the $82.9 billion in military equipment and training provided to the Afghan security forces since 2001. The scrubbed audits and reports included detailed accounting of what the U.S. had provided to Afghan forces, down to the number of night vision devices, hand grenades, Black Hawk helicopters, and armored vehicles. Reports further quantified 208 aircraft and helicopters; 75,000 war vehicles — including 22 Humvees, 50,000 tactical vehicles and nearly 1,000 mine resistant vehicles; and 600,000 weapons — including 350,000 M4 and M16 rifles, 60,000 machine guns, and 25,000 grenade launchers.

Transcript: Biden had a secret deal in July to hide imminent Taliban threat. Reuters released a transcript today [9/1/2021] of a call between Afghanistan's then-President Ashraf Ghani and Joe Biden during which they agreed to keep secret how badly things were going in the war against the Taliban. Biden asked Ghani to create the "perception" that Ghani's government could hold off the Taliban, whether "it's true or not."

There's That Impeachable Call: Biden Pressured Ghani to Create "Perception" That They Were Beating Taliban. Joe Biden was telling America in July that the Taliban weren't going to take over Afghanistan, that no one could have known that was going to happen. He maintains that no one told him differently, a claim we've already shown was a lie as he received a cable in June from officials in the State Department indicating that there was a likelihood that the Taliban would take over quickly once the U.S. pulled out at the end of August. But it turns out that Biden was playing even more games behind the scenes, and something different was going on than what he was telling Americans to our faces. According to a transcript of a July 23rd call that Biden had with former Afghanistan president Ashraf Ghani that has been obtained by Reuters, Biden tried to pressure Ghani to change the "perception" of what was going on — which was that the Taliban was quickly taking over large swaths of the country and had by July taken much of the country.

Biden pressured Afghan President Ghani to create 'perception' Taliban wasn't winning 'Whether It's True Or Not'. President Joe Biden wanted the now-departed Afghan president to create the 'perception' that his government was capable of holding off the Taliban — an indication he knew it was only a matter of time before the US ally fell to the Islamic group even while reassuring Americans at home that it would not happen. In the last phone call between Biden and his Afghan then-counterpart Ashraf Ghani, the American president said they needed to change perceptions of the Taliban's rapid advance 'whether it is true or not,' according to excerpts published on Tuesday [8/31/2021]. The call took place on July 23 — weeks before the fall of Kabul — but Biden on Tuesday repeated his assertion that his team was caught flat-footed by the rapid Taliban takeover of the country.

Biden Blew off Law That Could Have Warned Congress of Coming Debacle in Afghanistan. President Donald Trump left 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. But when Joe Biden came in, he was barred from using money from the Department of Defense budget to reduce the number below 2,000 by federal statute, "without first briefing Congress about the expected impact on U.S. counterterrorism operations and the risk to American personnel" and providing a detailed report, according to the Free Beacon. He was required to report on ISIS, the Taliban, al Qaeda, the risk for the expansion of terrorism, and the capacity of the Afghan security forces to deal with them all. Of course, Biden did reduce the troop numbers below that — to nothing — and waived the mandate requiring him to brief Congress in June, that it was important to the interests of national security. Some "mandate," if he can just waive it. If he had not done so, they could have talked about all the terrorist risk which if it wasn't clear before, is certainly clear now — with thousands of ISIS-K fighters released from Bagram. Not to mention the al Qaeda and Haqqani cells, as well as the Taliban themselves.

Bad Dismount. Joe Biden took to the microphones yesterday to announce to the American public that the demonstrably disastrous pullout from Afghanistan was really a whiz-bang success of historic proportions! Everything went perfectly smoothly and according to plan, with every single goal being met. Seriously, this is the approach he decided to take (along with barking forcefully because someone told him to) and I just couldn't watch the whole speech. [...] Because if Joe Biden's rush for the exits was a "success," what [...] does a "failure" look like? Jihad Joe just gifted the Taliban with $85 billion in state-of-the-art weaponry and munitions, making them one of the best-equipped armies in the world. And that same world watched as Biden showed that America's promises no longer mean anything and we can't be trusted as allies.

Angry Joe Biden Refuses to Admit Mistakes or Accept Accountability in Disastrous Afghanistan Exit. A defiant President Joe Biden defended his tumultuous exit from Afghanistan on Tuesday, refusing to admit mistakes or accept blame for lives lost or Americans left behind. "Some say that the evacuation from Afghanistan could have been started sooner and completed in a more orderly fashion," Biden said. "I respectfully disagree." Biden began by describing the military evacuation as a success, defying critics of his rushed exit from the country after the Taliban seized control of Kabul on August 15.

They're "on the table" because they're the only legal options.
Rep. Roger Williams: Impeachment And 25th Amendment On the Table To Remove Joe Biden. Impeachment of President Joe Biden and use of the 25th Amendment are available options for Congress in response to the killing of U.S. military personnel in suicide bombing attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan, Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX) said [... 8/29/2021]. "It's certainly grounds for [Biden] to be to be removed from office," Williams remarked. "He should resign if he truly loves this country and sees that this is a disaster of epic proportions. When we lost those [14] young men and women the other day, it was about as low as America has gotten in our history."

The Editor says...
If Joe Biden "he truly loves this country," he would have retired after three terms in the Senate, he wouldn't have given the America-hating Barack H. Obama any assistance, and he certainly wouldn't have accepted the benefits of the stolen 2020 election.

Biden throws a tantrum. Our hapless president's speech on Tuesday [8/31/2021] was not a speech at all. It was a full-blown childish tantrum. While he was ostensibly celebrating his massive "airlift" of thousands of mostly Afghan refugees, from the beginning, it was clear he is extremely angry. He almost shouted his claim that his catastrophic misadventure in Afghanistan has been a smashing success. This is a huge lie, and everyone knows it, even those trying to spin this debacle as a win. In fact, Biden's surrender has probably set a genocide in motion, just as our betrayal of the South Vietnamese gave birth to the killing fields. Women and girls are sure to be brutalized. Biden had promised for days that no American would be left behind, but of course hundreds, perhaps even thousands, have been left behind. [...] Biden is, and has always been, a pathological liar of the worst kind, the kind who lies to boost his own ego, no matter how easy it is to prove his dishonesty.

Impeach Biden. [Scroll down] Biden had been given the opportunity to create a secure escape route for American civilians escaping Afghanistan and to keep American soldiers safe in the city. Instead he set them up to be massacred by turning security in Kabul and around its airport over to a terrorist group. Even while Biden falsely claimed at a press conference that Afghanistan would be nothing like Kabul, military and intelligence briefings had already prepared him for much worse. If someone had to take the PR hit for chasing away refugees and a botched evacuation, Biden preferred that the Taliban play the bad guys while he disavowed all responsibility. He didn't care how many Americans died as long as he maintained plausible deniability to cover up their deaths. Biden's assumption that the Taliban could be trusted to do his dirty work without wanting anything in return except the end of our presence in Afghanistan was treasonously dumb. [...] Biden made numerous mistakes that led to the fall of Afghanistan, including the abandonment of Bagram Air Base, which not only cut off a secure evacuation route, but freed countless Jihadis, some of whom may have even taken part in the Kabul airport attack. But the decision to turn over Kabul to the Taliban, and to turn over security around Kabul airport to allies of Al Qaeda whom the United States had designated as terrorists is nothing short of treasonous.

A Self-Inflicted Catastrophe. This disaster in Afghanistan is worse than Benghazi, worse than Jimmy Carter's hostage crisis, because those were inept responses to an external situation. By contrast, this is a disaster that Biden and his inept team themselves created. I remember well how Carter's hostage crisis ended. It ended on the very day that Ronald Reagan was inaugurated in January 1981. Reagan had pledged that he would take very strong action against Iran, without specifying what that action might be. Evidently the terrorists, who had the backing of the Khomeini regime, decided it was not a good idea to test Reagan's resolve. They let the hostages go. The current catastrophe in Afghanistan seems to have proceeded in reverse.

Joe Biden rushed the Afghanistan pullout for a political speech he wanted to give. He hoped to use the 20th anniversary to proclaim himself the president who had succeeded in doing what none of his predecessors — George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump — could: end the "endless war" in Afghanistan. The purpose of the artificial deadline was to provide Mr. Biden a dramatic backdrop for the speech he wanted to give. The bungled exit has scuttled that plan. Worse, it has forever surrendered 9/11 to the Islamist fundamentalists. It is now what they meant it to be in 2001: their day of victory. Part of this victory belongs to al Qaeda, which seared the date 9/11 into America's memory. Today al Qaeda's leaders have regained the haven that they used to plan and carry out the 9/11 attacks, under the same Taliban hosts who refused to give them up even after President Bush declared the U.S. wouldn't distinguish between the terrorists who attacked us and those who harbored them intend to rub it in. And why not? They won. The Taliban victory is bigger still.

Can Americans still beat Democrat voter fraud? The voter fraud party got away with picking the perfect candidate for their purposes. They put a man in office who was unelectable. This truly is amazing. Biden's many tries for the Oval Office had always been spectacular failures. That alone makes him the perfect puppet for the interests that control the voter fraud party. In addition, he was never an intelligent man, and, even better for his controllers, he is now in steep mental decline. Also, he and his whole family are in the awkward position of being bent over a legal barrel for blatant corruption should it ever become necessary for his controllers to enforce a little discipline on him or his family.

Impeachment: High Crimes and Misdemeanors in 1787. [Scroll down] Madison's speech makes clear that vicious or bad character would be enough to be an impeachable offence. He directly correlated violating any crime and misdemeanor as an impeachable offence. Bad character alone would have been grounds for removal. Impeachment was not written for the purpose of a criminal indictment, but solely for the removal of those few who the Constitution allows for. There is nothing in the Constitution that allows for Congress to criminally indict and prosecute any president or any other civil officer listed. It is a means of removal from office when action must be taken prior to the next election or death of federal judges. The distinction between a crime and misdemeanor may have been lost to time, but there was a clear difference when the Constitution was written. When that time is used as the sole reference of what constitutes an impeachable offense, it is clear that no crime must be committed for an impeachment to be justified.

'Long-held Doubts about Biden's Ability'. In National Review Saturday morning, the great and the good are affirming their "long-held doubts about Biden's ability." ["]The question that Biden's media allies and the Washington establishment are now privately wondering: Is the Afghan disaster an aberration, or will the calculated risk they took in helping Biden into the White House prove to be an unending series of headaches and embarrassments?["] So why in the world did you geniuses deep-six Bernie Sanders back in March 2020? [...] I guess you could say that this is progress. Up till now, the only thing the "ruling clique" cared about was that Trump is a Problem. Otherwise everything was copacetic, except that we had only 12 years to save the planet. [...] What does it take to humiliate a ruling class? It takes a humiliating defeat in war; it needs a reckless inflation that impoverishes widows and orphans; it takes a people enraged by a justice system that calls some people peaceful protesters and others armed insurrectionists. But it takes one thing more. It takes a populace that is no longer afraid to be called racist, sexist, or homophobic.

Lawmakers Demand Pelosi Begin Biden Impeachment 'Immediately'. Several lawmakers have written a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanding that the California Democrat "immediately" begin impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden after his administration stranded "hundreds" of Americans in Afghanistan. "The American people must have full confidence in their Commander in Chief's judgment and ability to protect our country and respond decisively to national security threats," said the letter from Reps. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., Pete Sessions, R-Texas, and Yvette Herrell, R-N.M. "We have no confidence in President Joseph R. Biden's ability to carry out his duties as Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces," they added.

Biden's War: Image of President in Fetal Position Has Enemies Quaking. Rarely has one image more perfectly captured the moment — and totality — of a man's presidency. Befuddled by time, disoriented by a riot of terrible decisions, and confused by the demand for answers, President Joe Biden stood in the East Room of the White House, clutched his binder to his chest, and folded before the American people. Almost weeping, he pressed his face into his hands and closed his eyes. [...] General McKenzie thus far has not shown the honor or decency to resign his post. But our commander-in-chief is at least aware enough of his surroundings to curl up and cry, clutching his leather binder like a security blanket. A reporter asked Mr. Biden if he took responsibility for the 13 deaths. He said he did — before once again blaming Donald Trump. In an earlier time, the press would have hidden such a demoralizing picture — just as they strained to never show F.D.R. in a wheelchair during World War II. After all, propaganda is a powerful weapon.

21 Times Joe Biden Promised to Leave 'No One Behind'. President Joe Biden ordered a hasty, chaotic, and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan, leaving hundreds of Americans stranded there on August 31. Ironically, Biden had promised — repeatedly — to leave "no one behind" there, or anywhere. Biden broke a specific promise not to leave Afghanistan until all Americans had been rescued: [...] The tagline — leave "nobody behind" or "no one behind" — has been a part of Biden's stump speech since at least the 2019-2020 Democratic presidential primary. He has used it in several speeches, including his speech to the 2020 Democratic National Convention, and he has tweeted it frequently from his official account.

Biden Lied: Americans Were Left Behind in Afghanistan. Despite Biden's promise to get every American who "wants to leave" out of Afghanistan, hundreds of Americans remain stranded and are at the mercy of the Taliban. The last United States evacuation plane left Kabul airport at 11:59 p.m. Afghanistan time, 3:59 p.m. EST. Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr. announced Monday evening that the last of the U.S. military personnel stationed at the Kabul airport had left, completing the military's drawdown and evacuation of Afghanistan, even though hundreds of Americans likely remain. McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command, said some American citizens who wanted to leave Afghanistan remain in the country. "We did not get everybody out that we wanted to get out," he said.

Biden breaks his promise, strands Americans in Afghanistan. In an interview with George Stephanopoulos on August 19, Joe Biden said the U.S. would stay in Afghanistan until every American who wants to get out is out. As of now, the U.S. is out of Afghanistan, but our government concedes that some Americans are still trapped in that chaotic Taliban-ruled country. Moreover, our government does not intend to use the military to get these Americans out.

The case for impeachment. Article II also obligates the President to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed." These include the immigration laws. Article IV requires the federal government to protect every state against invasion. Clearly, by opening the southern border, President Biden has failed to faithfully execute the immigration laws, to fulfill his constitutional duty to protect the states against invasion or to protect the health and safety of our citizens. The political rationale for opening the border to Central Americans is to change the demographics of the country to bolster the rolls of Democrat voters. Many states do not require citizenship as a requirement for voter registration, and several automatically register people to vote when they are issued a drivers' license. Cubans, however, are unwelcome, presumably because they tend to vote Republican. More than a million aliens have entered illegally since Biden took office. Many who cross illegally carry COVID, or are members of criminal gangs, bringing fentanyl, heroin, meth, or children trafficked into sexual slavery. It is outrageous that a President would sacrifice the health and safety of his citizens to solidify his Party's grip on power.

Biden calls Black adviser 'boy' during FEMA briefing. President Biden called a Black adviser "boy" during a Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) briefing on Monday [8/30/2021]. The president used the term while introducing his senior adviser Cedric Richmond, a former Louisiana congressman. "I'm here with my senior adviser and boy who knows Louisiana very, very well and New Orleans, Cedric Richmond," Biden said at a press briefing with FEMA after Hurricane Ida rocked Louisiana.

Taliban Made Biden an Offer He Refused Which Could Have Avoided Debacle in Kabul. [Scroll down] Understand what they're really saying there: Biden was offered control of the Kabul by the Taliban and he/his people turned it down. And they then agreed to an impossible date to get everyone out by, shortening from his own date of 9/11. He would have had ample opportunity — with a perimeter — to get people out safely. He still might have had difficulty getting people outside of Kabul. But you wouldn't have this obvious focus on the airport, being a largely unprotected target. He chose to withdraw without any cover, and that's been a large part of the problem, in addition to not doing it fast enough beforehand, despite all the warnings. "Control" of Kabul wouldn't necessarily have meant that they had to do a lot, just provide a little breathing room for the local authorities to reassert their own control. But we'll never know what that result could have been, because risk averse Joe Biden refused to take the offer. He refused both protection for our military and the city — because he wanted out immediately.

Report: Taliban Offered Biden Control of Kabul, but He Declined. The chaos in Afghanistan could have reportedly been avoided altogether if President Joe Biden had accepted the Taliban's initial offer for the U.S. to have full control of Kabul and the airport. According to a report from the Washington Post, as the Taliban began taking control of Afghanistan, senior U.S. military leaders met with Taliban political leader Abdul Ghani Baradar in Doha, Qatar, where an offer was made for the United States to have control of Kabul until all U.S. troops had withdrawn; the offer was declined.

Biden's meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy revives troubles of corruption, Crimea, Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to the White House on Wednesday [9/1/2021] will complete a circle of politics and intrigue spanning three U.S. administrations. President Biden has put Ukrainian corruption near the top of the agenda when he sits down in the Oval Office with Mr. Zelenskyy. It's the same issue that has imbued both Washington's and Mr. Biden's relationship with the Eastern European country for nearly a decade. Mr. Zelenskyy, a comedian, actor and political neophyte who was elected Ukraine's president in 2019, wasn't always at the center of the U.S.-Ukraine circle. But when he was, it was a doozy.

Joe, Go Home. You see, Joe. You've given them the information, the weapons, the training, and an exact calendar. You've given them the confidence, the reason, the initiative, and the keys. You have given them the ideological cover, that multiculturalist entelechy; you have given them more than obvious signs of your own deterioration and weakness; and you have given them the pleasure of ignoring every single one of the voices that warned you of the madness you were poised to commit. You have given everything to that bunch of psychopaths and now you cannot seriously be surprised that they are murdering your people with the same weapons you have given them. The Taliban terrorists are just as guilty of murder as the Islamic State terrorists: don't forget that the former opened the cells of Bagram and other prisons so that the latter could commit the attacks. And there's something even more important: they don't respect you. They don't fear you. Most of the things that are happening would never have happened with Donald Trump, because the Taliban knew that if they were to go back on even the smallest detail of the contract, they would bear witness to the full might of the huge American military coming down on their black turbans.

The Sleepy Dormouse at 1600. [Scroll down] But regardless of whether our Joe was really listening to the prime minister's remarks and was just resting his eyes rather than catching 20 winks, this is one hell of a way to appear before the leader of a valued ally. Joe could at least try to look alert. He doesn't even have to really listen, because what is said in these staged events is predictable boiler-plate. But courtesy, decorum, and optics require he at least appear to be listening. Apparently Jen Psaki should be packing NoDoz tablets along with the large print cue cards on the rare occasions when she rolls Sleepy Joe out before the public.

Treason: Afghanistan Disaster Is More Proof Biden Is Owned Lock, Stock and Barrel by China. The tragedy and catastrophe that just happened in Afghanistan is more proof positive of my contention — President Joe Biden, his family and his Democrat puppet handlers are China-owned. They are doing China's bidding. The Biden crime family is owned lock, stock and barrel by China and the Chinese Communist Party. Biden's stolen presidency is the best thing to ever happen to China. I don't need to remind all of you of what just happened in Afghanistan. Everyone saw it. The question is, can you believe your own eyes? How could this happen? This is the worst debacle in U.S. foreign policy history. And it threatens to become the worst catastrophic failure in U.S. military history. Why? Because it was all foreseeable and preventable. If only Biden and the Democrats were as good at foreign policy as they are at rigging and stealing elections. We'd be ruling the world, not taking orders from the Taliban.

Biden Diverted Military Jet Away for Outrageous Reason in Middle of Kabul Evacuation. The U.S. has been desperately trying to evacuate people out of the Kabul airport in Afghanistan. There was such a large number of people and great need for planes that Joe Biden even ordered private airlines to provide planes to help with the process about a week ago. [...] So every military plane was desperately needed to help with the evacuation. But it turns out that one military jet was being used elsewhere, despite the national security emergency, by Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, who chartered it to go to a diplomatic summit in Ukraine, also last Monday. [...] This would have been wrong normally and worthy of investigation. But especially in the face of the emergency, Biden approved her use of this plane for a non-essential summit that she shouldn't even be use a military jet to fly to to begin with. Why? Why is he ordering the private airlines into service, when he's doing stuff like this at the same time? There's no possible justification for this ridiculous use of a military jet. So far, the Department of Energy refuses to answer up as to what the justification for all this was.

The Editor says...
The Ukraine sure seems to be very important to Joe Biden. I wonder why.

Gen. McMaster puts blame for Afghanistan disaster squarely on Biden — "self-defeat". The Sunday morning [8/29/2021] political shows were not kind to Joe Biden and his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Any and all criticism leveled at his decisions is warranted, especially since the death of 13 military members, ages 20 [to] 31 at the Kabul airport. There is no hiding from that tragedy at Camp David or in the basement of one of his Delaware homes. One critic who keeps showing up is retired General H.R. McMaster who served as National Security Advisor in the Trump administration from 2017 to 2018. [...] McMaster ended his frequent appearances on FNC that he enjoyed as a member of the Trump administration and went over to CNN and MSNBC. They were happy to welcome someone who they thought would criticize Trump. Now, however, it is impossible to notice he is back on FNC. He is a vocal critic of Biden's handling of the withdrawal of Afghanistan which must be a shock to his new friends in the Biden-friendly media.

Joe Biden's top 10 blunders. As I've watched the events of the past few weeks — and thought about the nature of Joe Biden's young presidency — I began to ask myself: How much more of this can we take? In just seven months, President Biden has overseen a remarkable number of complete blunders. To make sense of them all and consider how to overcome them, I decided to make a list of them. Of course, it would take months of time and writing to list all the errors Biden has made in his 48 years in politics, so I decided to start at his inauguration in January. These are roughly in chronological order. It seemed impossible to rank them as so many of them could have lasting, unforeseeable consequences.

CNN 'fact checker' comes to rescue after Biden appears to fall asleep while sitting with Israeli PM. CNN's "fact-checker" rushed to the rescue Saturday [8/28/2021] after Twitter users began speculating that President Joe Biden had "fallen asleep" during his Oval Office meeting a day earlier with newly appointed Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. For the majority of the 13-minute meeting Friday, the president was fairly lively — or, rather, as lively as a 78-year-old man suspected of having dementia can be. Near the tail end of the meeting, however, he began acting suspiciously by allowing his head to droop so that it was pointing down as if he was dozing off.

Hunter Biden: A legend in the art community. While "Lunch Bucket" Joe was the vice president, his son Hunter had limitless business opportunities. As revealed by Hunter's laptop, "the big guy" was even getting a 10% cut. I believe that the mob calls that "wetting his beak." But there was no influence-peddling. That would be wrong, and Genuine Joe never does anything wrong. Besides, as the MSM endlessly informed us, those allegations have all been debunked. "There's nothing to see. Please move along." Now that Joe has ascended to the presidency, Hunter has miraculously become a world-renowned artist. He is so well respected in the art community that his paintings can earn as much as a half a million bucks each. Hunter specializes in abstract art, which coincidently doesn't have to look like anything in particular. But I'm sure he's very talented — in fact, world-class — at painting things that don't look like anything. I'm sure it's also just a coincidence that his art dealer has Chinese connections. But again, "There's nothing to see. Please move along." I wonder if Hunter's art will still be fetching such high prices after Joe checks into a nursing home for the memory-challenged.

No Aspect of Biden's Afghanistan Fiasco Was Handled With Competence. With every press conference from each department, we see nothing but ineptitude. This week has seen a completely bungled extraction effort in Afghanistan turn from being a fiasco to a tragedy. The suicide bombing has galvanized the country into seeing this as far more than a mishandled mission but instead as an enterprise being executed with abject incompetence. It is not with ease that I say this about the country's leadership, but the perpetual presentation of evidence affirming this reality defies being ignored.

The Administration Lied About Giving a List of Names to the Taliban and Not a Fact-Checker to be Found. Over the past several days, disturbing reports began to circulate that the US had provided the Taliban with the names of Americans and Afghan allies. That was ostensibly done to help facilitate their passage through various checkpoints, but even still, it underscored the incredibly insane decision to rely on a terrorist group for security in the first place. We first heard the word of the information sharing with the Taliban from Gen. Kenneth McKenzie of US Central Command. But as the bad press started to pile up from the revelation, the administration decided to do what they do best — lie and obfuscate.

Sleepy Joe Biden Earns His Nickname As He Doses Off During Presser With Israeli PM. Poor Joe, with the shitshow he caused in Afghanistan, he hasn't been able to put an early lid on things for days, which means no nap time. [Video clip]

As Everyone Knows, Biden's Disastrous Afghan Exit Is Entirely Trump's Fault. Even if he does have a little ear-bud feeding him words to say from a nearby room, Joe Biden doesn't seem to know or remember quite a few things these days. Like the names of people standing right next to him or what you call that immense, five-sided building over in Virginia, you know, where all those military people are. But one thing Joe Biden is absolutely certain and absolutely adamant about, when he can express a coherent thought, is that he must get all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan this week — because his mouthy predecessor signed an agreement with the Taliban. Biden is equally certain that the Aug. 31 pullout deadline, which he himself set, and all the shocking deadly chaos in Kabul involving thousands of terrified people the last few weeks is due to that same agreement Trump's minions signed early last year with the Taliban or, as Biden calls those terrorists, the Tollybahn. According to Biden, he is bound on this matter by these most likely ill-advised obligations made by Donald Trump.

Joe Biden Appears to Fall Asleep While Meeting With Israeli PM. While Afghanistan collapses, COVID rages, and the U.S. economy stagnates, you can take heart in the fact that we have an energetic, dedicated leader ready to tackle any issue that comes his way. Alright, so you can't take heart in that — because the president is actually Joe Biden. But still, surely he can at least remain awake long enough to meet with the Israeli prime minister. I mean, it's not like that's a demanding assignment. Apparently, that was too much to ask, though. Biden appears to have fallen asleep at one point during the meeting, and I don't mean that as a joke about the fact that he consistently looks out of it. I mean that it looks like he literally fell asleep. [Tweet] To appease the fact-checkers, I'll note that I can't tell for sure that he's asleep here. Perhaps he's just resting his eyes? I don't know, but what I do know is that there's nothing normal about Biden hanging his head for 30+ seconds this way, instead of having his attention locked on the head of state he's ostensibly there to speak with. At one point, the video zooms in and you can see that his eyes are closed.

Kevin McCarthy: President Biden Picked the Taliban Over Our Allies and Over Americans. McCarthy: "Why would you quit? Why would you quit with five days to go? Why would you quit when Americans are still sitting over there? Why would you quit when you have allies, the U.K., France, Germany, who have fought with us in Afghanistan, not because they were attacked, but because America was attacked, who have asked this president to extend the deadline so they can get their citizens out?["] [Video clip]

The Declaration 2.0 (Revised). [Scroll down] The history of the present POTUS is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has usurped the nation's highest office, and because of his mental unfitness for that office, is the puppet of an illegitimate and hidden Cabal that has destroyed the bonds of trust most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden our Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them, and hath meanwhile ignored restraints issued by coequal branches of government not under his direct political control. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

Yes, the 2020 election was stolen. [Scroll down] A shuffling, peevish and often confused Joe Biden attracted no more than 100 to 200 people to his pre-election rallies where he stumbled through short scripted speeches. His vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris, selected entirely for being a woman of color (Biden had committed publicly to choosing a woman VP and said he'd prefer one of color), turned out to be so jarringly repellant, even to Democrats, that she dropped out of the presidential race during the primaries, winning zero electoral votes. Yet Biden and Harris won the 2020 election.

More Republicans Join Calls for Impeaching Biden After Kabul Massacre. Calls to impeach President Joe Biden are growing in tenor in the wake of the disastrous and deadly attack on U.S. military personnel and Afghan civilians in Kabul. Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., cosponsored articles of impeachment against Biden due to an alleged "foreign policy failure" in Afghanistan, according to Fox News. Duncan signed on to articles of impeachment first filed last week by freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. The South Carolina lawmaker said in a statement that he feels it's time to remove Biden following his "gross negligence" that lead to the Taliban retaking Afghanistan which then "resulted in a grave humanitarian crisis."

Biden's Bagram Blunder Surpasses Custer at Little Big Horn, Lee at Gettysburg. [Scroll down] Add now to the list of men responsible for the worst military blunders in American history President Joe Biden's decisions to abandon Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan and to commence the U.S. withdrawal during the fighting season for that perpetually war-ravaged region of Central Asia. The Bagram abandonment — done in the dead of night without forewarning to the Afghan national government that we supported and without the prior removal of valuable equipment — is so obvious and colossal a blunder as to defy rational explanation. Biden claimed Thursday that he asked his military advisers — primarily the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense — about the advisability of pulling out of Bagram and they told him not to worry. If that is true — and I pray to God that Biden was either lying to cover his posterior or simply misunderstood what they said — then every one of those men should be fired from their posts and discharged from the U.S. military.

Biden's Botched Bug Out. This week we were treated to a bloody horror show at Kabul Airport and a preposterous performance (a full day late) by a President who claimed responsibility and then quickly proceeded to shun it, blaming everyone else. As commander in chief, he was responsible for the disastrous consequences of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan by a plan only an idiot would have conceived or endorsed. What followed were continued lies from the Department of State, General Mark Milley, and probably the Department of Defense. Only individual Americans stood fast to preserve our tattered honor. The Biden Bug Out Plan was exactly the opposite of the plan President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had crafted. In that plan, our well-fortified base at Bagram, some 40 miles from Kabul, was to be the last thing shuttered. In Biden's plan, it was the first. He had our troops turn off the lights and leave in the middle of the night without warning to the Afghani government, doubtless encouraging the rapid Taliban advance to Kabul.

What Afghanistan Reveals about Joe Biden, Israel, and Iran. The powerful bomb blast attack by an ISIS affiliate, ISIS-K (Khorasan), a deadly terror group of jihadists from Syria and other areas, on American forces and Afghan civilians in Kabul on August 26, 2021, killed 13 U.S. troops and more than 90 Afghans. This was a dark day for the U.S., the deadliest day for U.S. military forces in Afghanistan since 2011. [...] In view of his inability to secure the drawdown of U.S. troops in an orderly way, the question arises: "Is Biden reliable as an American and world leader, or is he detached from reality?" Foreign countries are concerned: Ukraine, whether Biden can help deter Russia; can Taiwan rely on U.S. protection from China; should NATO leaders now call for an independent European security operation from which the U.S. is excluded? Most immediately, there is the problem of whether Biden is genuinely, as well as rhetorically, committed to preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear weapons power.

Has there ever been a President as cold-hearted as Joe Biden? No. There never has. No previous president in US history has been as willing to sacrifice America, American lives, and American power and standing in the world solely for political purposes. Are his traitorous actions purely political? Perhaps his motives are personal as well. Biden has been selling his soul for money for decades; to China, to Ukraine, to Pakistan. How else can he explain his massive wealth and multiple mansions on a salary of $174k? He cannot. [...] Every sentient American surely knows by now about Biden's plagiarism, his pathological lying about everything from his law school record to his fabricated exploits around the world. Everyone surely knows by now of Hunter Biden's depravity, all of which China has proof of (as did the FBI in December of 2019). Just as the truth about the covid vaccines is strictly suppressed, so was the depth and breadth of the Biden family's corruption. The media, print and electronic, deranged by their irrational hatred of Donald Trump, covered up the truth about the Biden family's unscrupulousness.

7 Major Biden Disasters in 7 Months. Joe Biden's first half-year in office concluded with a string of disasters and failures to deliver on his campaign rhetoric. Afghanistan: Of course, the list must begin with Biden's hideously bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, a debacle that claimed the lives of 13 American military personnel on Thursday. Biden's Afghanistan disaster is likely to haunt the United States for years to come. Terrorists are emboldened far beyond the previous Democrat administration's Islamic State disaster, which blew jihadi recruiting through the roof while President Barack Obama helplessly dithered, lectured stone-cold killers about being on "the wrong side of history," and mumbled that it could take decades to do anything more than contain or "degrade" the ISIS caliphate in Iraq and Syria.

The Blood On Joe Biden's Hands. The best-case scenario under Joe Biden's Afghanistan plan was the United States running away from Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble fast enough to avoid offending troglodytes who pass the time waiting till they find a 12-year-old girl to marry by sexually violating even younger boys. Let that sink in. Now there are 13 Americans dead among 170 slaughtered by terrorists. But at least there are no mean tweets, right? Unfortunately, there aren't any coherent actions or words either. Joe Biden has blood on his hands he can't ever wash off. The attack came a day after a report that the White House was of the firm belief that they deserved praise for their handling of a situation their incompetence created. Politico reported, "The president and his team have taken it on the chin for the past week. Now, amid a massive evacuation effort, they want kudos too." Even before the attack, that was like OJ demanding people celebrate him for all the days he didn't cut people's heads off. This is an unbelievable situation for the world's only remaining superpower. A few months ago, I would have been less surprised to discover Joe Biden was actually a Taliban sleeper agent than he was so incompetent that he'd find a way to arm a terrorist state, look like a coward doing it, and run away from protecting the lives of Americans after they'd been attacked.

GOP Rep. Ellzey, former Naval aviator, wants to know 'who's behind the curtain' at White House. Rep. Jake Ellzey, R-Texas, who deployed to Afghanistan three times as a Navy fighter pilot, told Fox News in an exclusive interview he wants to know "who's behind the curtain" after President Biden said during a Thursday press conference that he had been "instructed" to call on certain reporters. "Ladies and gentlemen, they gave me a list here. The first person I was instructed to call on was Kelly O'Donnell from NBC," said Biden, following his remarks on the ISIS-K attack that killed at least 13 American service members outside the Hamid Karzai international airport in Kabul. Ellzey acknowledged that while it's common for presidents to solicit advice from staff, he said "they don't take instructions."

State Department contradicts Biden's remarks that there may be a 'kill list' provided to Taliban. State Department spokesperson Ned Price seemingly contradicted President Biden's acknowledgment that the United States may have provided the Taliban with a list of names of Americans and allies in order to usher them to the airport. "The idea that we are providing names or personally identifiable information to the Taliban in a way that exposes anyone to additional risk, that is simply wrong, simply wrong," Price said in response to a question about reports that the United States provided what some have called a "kill list" to the Taliban. On Thursday, Fox News confirmed a Politico report that U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of American citizens, green card holders, and Afghan allies in an effort to grant them entry to the airport, which resulted in outrage from military officials behind the scenes.

Joe Biden Actually Checked His Watch During Transfer of Bodies at Dover and He Wasn't Even Subtle About It. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were at the Dover Air Force Base Sunday morning [8/29/2021] for the dignified transfer of 11 of the 13 service members who lost their lives on Thursday. While there, the president actually checked his watch. And he wasn't subtle about it, not even close to it. [Tweets] The bodies arrived last night, but the president did not go to meet them. To be fair, Julio had on good authority that some family members did not want him there.

Not Incompetence: Afghanistan and Globalism. Democrats found the perfect puppet to happily sit in the Oval Office and lie and deceive with total ease. In the first two weeks of Biden's presidency, he signed 28 executive orders to reassure international globalists and erase anything Trump had done. The goal was to bring back trust and confidence in the promises American globalists have given international fellow globalists, especially China. The message was "we're back in charge," and "never mind the four-year Trump glitch; we'll erase it from history by impeaching him twice." Now they must rush to eliminate America's borders to pave the way for accomplishing the implementation of "Region 1." [...] Globalist's "Region 2" is coming along well. Which region will fall to the globalist plan next? Will it be Taiwan, given to China? After giving Russia the pipeline, what's next? Ukraine? The actions of socialist-globalist Democrats speak for themselves, and no, they are not incompetent; rather, they are deceptive. They're hell-bent on executing their globalist dreams without debate, elections, or transparency. They are reckless with the future of America and determined to move with a historically proven failed plan with no guarantees from tyrannical nations who are happy to be given a weakened America without borders.

Here's The Full List Of Every Lie Joe Biden Has Told As President: Part 60. Just over 100 days into his time in the White House and the end to President Joe Biden's lies is nowhere in sight. Here is part two of The Federalist's rigorous coverage keeping the Biden administration accountable with substantive fact-checking throughout the president's tenure.

GOP: Biden Has Blood On His Hands, Should Be Removed From Office. Figures across the GOP have urged Joe Biden to be held responsible for the attacks at the Kabul airport and called for his resignation. Reports on Thursday detailed the calls, including a tweet by former UN ambassador Nikki Haley. Haley asserted Biden should step down or be removed for his handling of Afghanistan. However, she acknowledged it would leave Kamala Harris in charge and added Harris would be 10 times worse. GOP conference Chair Elise Stefanik said Biden has blood on his hands. She went on to say the "national security and humanitarian disaster" was the result of his incompetent leadership.

"They just put all those Afghans on a kill list!" — Biden officials gave Taliban list of American citizens and Afghan allies to expedite evacuation process. We are just learning today that Biden officials actually gave the Taliban a list of the names of American citizens and Afghan allies to expedite the evacuation process. This has caused great consternation and pushback from lawmakers and defense officials: [...] Biden has said from the beginning that we were depending on the Taliban for a successful evacuation. Little did we know just how much we were depending on them. Now, as thousands of Americans and Afghan allies are left behind by Biden because he's too much of a coward to stand up to the Taliban, these 'targets' have to worry about the Taliban tracking them down and executing them. Biden is setting up a potential bloodbath because of his irresponsible and horrific evacuation policies.

Unreal: Biden Team Gave the Taliban a List of Americans and Afghan Allies. The Biden Administration has shown stunning incompetence throughout the whole Afghanistan debacle. But this latest news may take the cake for outrageous and inconceivable action. According to Politico, U.S. officials gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders, and Afghan allies to grant entry into the airport. [...] This is insane, since the Taliban is looking to kill anyone who worked with the U.S., and has beheaded and killed Afghan allies in the past. Why would you give them what amounts to a "kill list" or hostage list? They are our enemies. Now, even if they don't nab those allies at the airport, they will have their name and can hunt them down. It's already been reported that the Taliban has been going house to house to hunt people down to kill them and their families and you give them a list? Who in the military thought that this was a good idea? U.S. Central Command is refusing to comment on the report, which means you know it's true.

Nikki Haley, other Republicans call for Biden's resignation and impeachment after attack at Kabul airport. A long list of GOP politicians are calling for President Biden to either be impeached or resign from office after the deadly attacks near Harmid Karzai International Airport in Afghanistan. Nikki Haley, former ambassador to the United Nations, called for Biden's resignation — but expressed concern about leaving Vice President Kamala Harris in charge. "Should Biden step down or be removed for his handling of Afghanistan? Yes," she tweeted. "But that would leave us with Kamala Harris which would be ten times worse. God help us." Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., added: "To say that today's loss of American lives in Kabul is sickening does not begin to do justice to what has happened. It is enraging. And Joe Biden is responsible. It is now clear beyond all doubt that he has neither the capacity nor the will to lead. He must resign."

Biden Subcontracts U.S. Security to Terrorists. Even as suicide bombers attacked the Kabul airport on August 26 — killing, at this writing, at least 12 U.S. servicemen and scores of civilians — visitors to the Al Jazeera website could read an interview with Khalil Ur-Rahman Haqqani, the Taliban official and U.S.-designated terrorist who is responsible for security in the Afghan capital. "If we can defeat superpowers, surely we can provide safety to the Afghan people," said Haqqani, whose guards brandish the helmets, night-vision goggles, small arms, and camouflage the Americans left behind. "All of those people who left this country, we will assure them of their safety," Haqqani went on. "You're all welcome back in Afghanistan." He's lying, of course. Lying is what terrorists do. Haqqani's forces can't protect the Afghan people from ISIS, or, apparently, from the Taliban itself. The Islamic militia is executing civilians and former members of the Afghan National Army, according to the United Nations.

Joe Biden Reveals in Latest Press Conference He Is "Instructed" on Whom He Can Call. Joe Biden said during the 2020 Presidential campaign that he had the most experience of any person who ever ran for President because of the decades he spent in the United States Senate and eight years as Vice President for Barack Obama. He knows the players in the Congrees [sic] and has palled around with them for decades. He knows the players on the international stage and considers them friends in some cases. He's been in the rooms where some of the biggest decisions in this country's history were made. So now he has assumed the Presidency, and even with all the experience this current occupant of the Oval Office has from all his years in the swamp, he revealed during Thursday afternoon's [8/26/2021] press conference that someone tells him whom to call upon for questions. Actually, he said he was "instructed" whom to call upon.

Biden Was the Best Democrats Had to Offer, and Now He Has to Go. In 2020, the Democratic primary revealed that the most popular, most competent person to lead the Democratic Party was Joe Biden. Truly, they tried to convince us when he was elected, the Renaissance of American Governance has returned and the world will respect the United States once more. The grown-ups are back in charge. There would be no more mean tweets. Sanity had come back to the White House. The Biden administration has been stepping into crisis after crisis since he took office with no actual response and no plan to any of the urgent issues facing the country. But Biden wanted one thing to cement his legacy: An end to the war in Afghanistan. He wanted our troops out, and he wanted them out before the 20th anniversary of September 11. [Regardless of] what the military leaders and intelligence community say, it was going to happen.

In [a] Hopeless Speech, Biden Refuses Liability For [the] Afghanistan Crisis He Created. After delaying addressing the nation for most of the day, President Joe Biden is still avoiding the liability for the Afghanistan crisis and the deaths that have occurred during evacuation efforts. In his White House speech, Biden called the at least 12 U.S. service members who were killed in the explosions heroes but spent minutes comparing the loss of his son Beau Biden to cancer to the pain his administration's incompetence has caused military families. Biden claimed he was "outraged" at the situation and attack, which took more than 100 lives, but only repeated lies and deflected blame for his botched withdrawal that caused the American evacuation crisis which he celebrated last week as being death-free.

Biden's Disastrous Foreign Policy Instincts. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates wasn't kidding when he noted that Biden has "been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." As a senator, he voted against the Persian Gulf War in 1991. More than a decade later, he didn't merely support the Iraq invasion in 2003, but he championed it. [...] In more recent times, Biden was a proponent of the failed Iran deal and a harsh critic of the successful Abraham Accords. As with the elimination of Osama bin Laden, Biden opposed taking out the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps terrorist leader Gen. Qasem Soleimani, accusing then-President Donald Trump of putting us on the precipice of an "endless war in the Middle East." And, for the past 20 years, Biden has been on every side of nearly every position on Afghanistan — usually the wrong one at the wrong time. It's surreal that a person so uncannily incompetent, so tenaciously wrong on foreign policy, could rise to the presidency, but here we are.

Biden Says Quiet Part Out Loud: "The First Person I was Instructed to Call On...". President Joe Biden admitted someone else is calling the shots. [Tweet with video clip]

Biden Administration Spikes the Football on Afghanistan a Little Too Early. The White House this week prematurely celebrated the success of President Joe Biden's evacuation of U.S. citizens and allies from Afghanistan. Administration officials boasted that they were "over performing" their own metrics and "defying expectations," even comparing the withdrawal operation to the Berlin airlift. On Thursday [8/26/2021], that characterization of the evacuation effort fell apart, as suicide bombers struck the gates of the Kabul airport and killed at least a dozen American service members and 60 Afghans.

Joe Biden Admits Americans Will Be Left Behind in Afghanistan After Withdrawing Troops. President Joe Biden tacitly admitted Thursday [8/26/2021] that some Americans in Afghanistan would remain in the country even after troops were withdrawn on August 31. "We will continue, after our troops are withdrawn, to find means by which we find any American who wishes to get out of Afghanistan," Biden said. The president said his military commanders told him the mission to get Americans and Afghan allies out of Afghanistan by the deadline would succeed. But Biden defined the mission as "to get as many people out as we can within the time frame that's allotted" — not staying until every American is evacuated.

Biden Blames Generals for Abandoning Bagram Air Base: Admin 'May Have' Given Taliban a List of Stranded Americans. During his press conference on Thursday following the terrorist attack in Afghanistan that killed 13 U.S. servicemembers, President Biden blamed his generals for the decision to leave Bagram Air Base behind and did not deny reports that his administration gave the Taliban a list of Americans stranded in the region. On the issue of Bagram Air Base, President Biden said that he made the decision to essentially abandon the location upon his generals' advice[.]

Biden Mumbles, Stumbles Through Address on Afghanistan Terror Attacks. Despite Biden's words of assurance, Americans stranded in Iraq are still in great peril, as are members of the U.S. military. Sadly, we have a commander-in-chief who doesn't seem fully able to grasp the gravity of the situation and the enormity of the disaster he's wrought. It shouldn't have taken nine hours for him to get to the podium, but that's been Biden's modus operandi, both during the presidential campaign and at pivotal moments in his presidency. Biden is adrift, out of touch, and irresolute — a failed president who appears to be merely going through the motions. Exactly what the nation doesn't need in a time of crisis.

This Is How Trump Would Have Saved Americans in Afghanistan, But Biden Said No. Thanks to the Biden administration, Taliban terrorists have taken control of Afghanistan. President Joe Biden's reckless and rushed withdrawal from the country came with numerous consequences. American citizens have been left trapped in Afghanistan, terrorist groups such as ISIS are regaining a foothold in the region and, as of Thursday, at least ten U.S. soldiers have been killed in suicide bombings. Without a doubt, the Biden-led Afghanistan withdrawal is one of the worst foreign policy disasters of all time. As the situation continues to devolve, it's worth remembering that it didn't have to be this way. Biden was given a much better plan — a methodical, carefully constructed proposal for withdrawal. Sadly, he scrapped this plan because of the man who made it: former President Donald Trump.

Righting the Ship of State through Extraordinary Measures. There's a cancer growing on the presidency. The president displays symptoms of delusion and even dementia, but it is unlikely that he will resign from office. The president is so addled that even if his family were to stage an intervention, he would still cling to power. You see, the president knows things that the rest of us don't. The president knows that handing over an entire nation to terrorists and arming them with sophisticated weaponry was unavoidable; it had to happen. So, how do we irradiate, medicate, surgically excise, or otherwise treat our little cancer problem licking obscene quantities of ice cream? If the president won't resign, then Congress should impeach and remove him from office. Impeachment, however, starts in the House of Representatives, and that body is led by Nancy Pelosi, who just oversaw two failed impeachments of the dread Orange Man, Donald Trump, the ultimate outsider. Given that, how likely is it that Pelosi would go after the ultimate insider and a member of her own party?

Senile or not, Biden has betrayed America. President Biden's dementia no longer explains the destructive policies his administration has implemented since taking office. The horror that took thirteen American lives in Kabul on Wednesday is intentional; there is no other explanation. This is purposeful. Biden may be out to lunch, but those around him are not. They are calling the shots; it is Klain, Blinken, Austin, Milley, McKenzie, Sullivan, et al., who have brought us to the lowest the nation has ever found itself: voluntarily defeated, at home and abroad. Susan Rice, Eric Holder, and Obama are likely part of the left's destroy-America crowd. Pelosi and Schumer are their second string, their tools.

The Closing of the Progressive Mind. [Scroll down] Let's look at the big issue where this really comes into play: Biden is a fumbling, senile disaster who "won" by virtue of total election fraud, and virtually every Progressive's individual life and the country as a whole was incomparably better off under President Trump. For many committed progressives, this was the scenario: "It's tough to admit, but all I wanted was anyone but Trump. I think of myself as 'smart' and analytical, but all I could taste was anyone but Trump. The specific person didn't matter. I'd have voted for King Kong." Actual policy meant nothing to them. Not the record low unemployment numbers for blacks, Hispanics, women and Asians. Not the low gasoline prices, not NATO members paying their fair share, not finally levying tariffs on China and refusing to be their economic punching bag, not the American-worker-friendly USMCA trade agreement replacing the fatally-flawed NAFTA, not finally ending unchecked, out-of-control illegal immigration, not the rebirth of the U.S. military after being shamefully ignored by Obama for eight years, nothing. In their deepest thoughts — never to be uttered in public — this is what many progressives are thinking now: "I was totally sold on style and appearance. I was totally "Orange Man bad:" "I still hate President Trump personally, but I see now that Biden is an unmitigated catastrophe, both domestically and internationally. His utter incompetence is costing American lives. I see that he's not coherent and I know he's not in charge. I don't know who is and that scares me, but I'll never admit it. To save face, I've got to figure out a way to blame Biden's failures on Trump."

Hiding behind his tears — Sorry Biden's decisions led to Kabul carnage. The deep grief on President Biden's face as his eyes swelled with tears was painful to watch. But his personal suffering cannot exonerate him from the responsibility for what happened in Kabul. Nor can his obscenely shameful effort to shift the blame to former President Donald Trump and even his own military commanders be taken seriously. Biden says the buck stops with him, but he doesn't really mean it. When the enemy strikes with deadly results, it's somebody else's fault. That's not leadership and it certainly isn't presidential. If he truly accepted responsibility, Biden would own up to the obvious fact that his actions played a big role in this horrific outcome. Instead, his claim that every commander agreed with him on the withdrawal plan is a bald-faced lie.

Obama ethics chief blasts Hunter Biden's art scheme as 'absolutely appalling'. Former President Obama's ethics chief on Wednesday [8/25/2021] ripped the Biden White House for brokering a deal last month so that Hunter Biden, and the American public at large, would never know who was buying his paintings. Walter Shaub appeared on Law & Crime's "Objections" podcast, where he did not mince words about how he felt about the behavior of the White House, President Biden, and his son, Hunter, regarding his upcoming art shows in Los Angeles and New York City. Hunter's paintings are priced between $75,000 and $500,000, despite his lack of artistic experience. "There is simply no way an artist who has never even juried into a community center art fair is going to suddenly show up in New York selling art for half a million a pop," Shaub said. "Let's talk about the magnitude of this...That's $6.5 million going to the president's son for being the president's son, not for being an artist and I just think that's absolutely appalling."

Biden's dog Major bit Secret Service members 8 days in row, emails show. President Biden's German shepherd Major attacked many more people than the White House has disclosed, according to newly released emails. The documents indicate that Major bit members of the Secret Service eight days in a row in early March — though only one such incident was publicly acknowledged. At least one White House visitor also was bitten in early March, according to the emails, which were released Thursday by the conservative transparency group Judicial Watch, which slammed the "cover-up" of the incidents. "We're sure Major is a good dog but these records show he was involved in many more biting incidents than the Biden White House has publicly acknowledged," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "It is disturbing to see a White House cover-up of numerous injuries to Secret Service and White House personnel by the Bidens' family pet."

Laughing, snarking, lying Bloody Joe killed 12 brave marines and 60 innocent Afghans today. Joe Biden recently learned a trick from Kamala. When he's asked a legitimate question that he doesn't want to answer, he laughs. This buys him time and maybe even avoids altogether the necessity for an answer. Sometimes it works. But it works less well when the question is about human lives at stake. It's all part of his flippancy, snarkiness and gaslighting as he tries to divert attention away from the humanitarian catastrophe that he created in his Afghanistan abandonment. His strategy seems to have been something like "ready, fire, aim." It was "ready, evacuate the military, then bring them back ill-equipped and badly outnumbered to save some of the civilians." Civilians that are scattered around a country the size of Texas. This guy couldn't organize a company picnic.

One Day Has Arrived. The entire Democratic party media cabal spent 4 years trashing Trump in order to enshrine a senile old fool in the White House who wasn't presidential grade material even in his prime. Nor is his VP, the laugh-o-matic woman of color. So I don't know who is actually running the show, maybe presidential advisor Susan Rice and her handlers, which would explain the fiasco that is Afghanistan.

Was This Where Biden's Detachment from Afghanistan Was Exposed? Biden botched out withdrawal from Afghanistan. He caved to terrorists. We're following their timeline. There was chaos at the airport in Kabul. Our allies feel betrayed, thousands of Americans are still stranded in the country. And now, we have US troops dead on the ground from today's bombings around the airport. At least four US Marines are dead. A total of 11 service members have been killed. Given the chaos around the airport, this was coming. ISIS is on the prowl as is al-Qaeda and contrary to what Biden has been saying — it's not easy to get to the airport if you're an American marooned. The Taliban have checkpoints everywhere and they're seizing passports. Biden's response is to trust the Taliban, not expand the security perimeter which obviously was needed. The serial incompetence as we exited in a way more disgraceful than Saigon 1975 could be centered on Biden simply not caring about the situation.

Biden Embraces Defeat. [Scroll down] The exit from Afghanistan, then, appears designed to accomplish two things: first, to demoralize the American military and the American people. Over 22,000 American service personnel have been killed or injured in Afghanistan. Every American knows someone who served there. Knowing full well that the Afghan military would not defend the country, there could be little doubt that the United States was turning the country over to the Taliban. Moreover, the US did so with the appearance of being run out of the country in shame and defeat. One can only assume this was meant to demonstrate to American servicemen that their sacrifice had been in vain, and to the American people that our cause of defending America from the scourge of radical Islam was not just. How else are sensible people to view the footage of killings, chaos, desperation, harassment, and contempt for the US and our citizens in Kabul? Taken together these images are far more effective tools of propaganda than nearly anything Al-Qaeda and ISIS has employed over the past two decades. Their message is clear: America is weak and resistance to Islam is futile.

Joe Biden sure does a lot of good things for China. I wonder why.
Biden White House Approves Licensing Deal For Chinese Communist Party-Linked Huawei, Reversing Trump-Era Hardline. The Biden White House granted the Chinese Communist Party-linked firm Huawei — which was crippled by Trump-era sanctions — licenses to purchase American auto chips, according to reports. The decision follows the Beijing-backed tech firm hiring several lobbyists, including the brother of Biden's White House Counselor Steve Ricchetti and CNN guests who have pushed the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. "U.S. officials have approved license applications worth hundreds of millions of dollars for China's blacklisted telecom company Huawei to buy chips for its growing auto component business, two people familiar with the matter said," Reuters reported.

Hey, Biden Voters!. The Democrats put up a candidate who was plainly in mental decline. It was obvious every time he spoke. But you didn't pay terribly close attention to his speeches. The sources from which you get your "news" carefully clipped out all of the bits of his appearances in which his befuddlement was manifest. If you heard someone speak out about his senility, you dismissed the charges out of hand. Biden also had a less-than-stellar professional history. He'd spent decades in the Senate as little more than a fixture, an empty suit, a vapid, smiling shill for the credit-card companies and other corporations based in his shabby little state. In the lead-up to the 2020 election, mountains of evidence were made public indicating that Biden was even more deeply corrupt than we already knew, taking massive bribes from nefarious foreign powers. Yes, that story was banned from social media. Still, you could have known about it if you'd had the slightest bit of curiosity — and the slightest sense of civic responsibility.

Joe Biden, With Eyes Bloodshot and Five Hours Late, Insults Everyone Watching With Surreal Presser. Joe Biden finally gave his big Afghanistan presser this afternoon [8/24/2021]. Arriving five hours late for the event, the President took the stage. His eyes were bloodshot and glazed over with his pace of speaking obviously labored as he began to robotically read the teleprompter. What then transpired was one of the most insulting, tone-deaf spectacles I've ever seen from a president. Instead of getting right into the crisis in Afghanistan, Biden inexcusably began the presser by plugging his "Build Back Better" agenda. No, I'm not kidding. It was absolutely surreal. [Tweet] Biden would go on to spend minutes talking about the "climate crisis" and bragging about Democrats passing a "voting rights" bill (that will die in the Senate). Before he even mentioned the disaster unfolding in Afghanistan, he praised Nancy Pelosi for her work on the budget bill and claimed that he had produced 4 million jobs. It was disgustingly disconnected from reality.

Why only NOW is there mounting concern over President Biden's mental health? A Daily Mail story from last week reported on the growing concern of doctors and other health experts about the mental state of Joe Biden, the oldest American president ever. [...] This story only highlights a growing slew of news stories and op-eds that have appeared recently during the ongoing debacle in Afghanistan, in both the right and leftwing press, that have noticed how President Biden appears repeatedly confused in interviews while showing signs that he does not quite understand what is going on around him. Of course, for the press and the political class to recognize these facts now, after Biden has become president, is equivalent to closing the barn door after the animals have escaped. As I noted in October 2020, before the election, these cognitive issues have been obvious for the last two years, and had been getting steadily worse throughout 2020 during the election campaign.

Irish Soldiers Calls Biden The Word No One Is Supposed To Say On Live TV. A Northern Irish soldier who was stationed for years in Afghanistan had a few choice words for Joe Biden over his disastrous handling of the Afghani withdrawal. During an interview with RT, an Irish soldier by the name of Trevor actually went to the place no one is supposed to go on live TV, calling Biden a retard. [Video clip]

Sources: No Biden firings. President Biden isn't inclined to fire any senior national security officials over the chaos in Kabul unless the situation drastically deteriorates or there's significant loss of American life, people familiar with the matter tell Axios. Dismissing national security advisor Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin or CIA Director William Burns would be tantamount to admitting a mistake, and the president stands by his decision.

Biden Refuses to Answer Questions on Afghanistan, Flees Podium as Reporter asks About Stranded Americans. Joe Biden was several hours late for his Tuesday press conference on his botched Afghanistan withdrawal. After mumbling for 10 minutes and struggling to read the teleprompter, Joe Biden shuffled away from the lectern and refused to answer questions. Biden confirmed the US is taking orders from the Taliban. "The completion by August 31 depends upon the Taliban continuing to cooperate and allow access to the airport," said Biden of reports he is bowing to the Taliban and sticking to an August 31 deadline.

Likely Long-Term Ripple Effects of Precipitous Pullout From Afghanistan. What has happened in Afghanistan will not stay in Afghanistan, but will have a ripple effect throughout the region and beyond. In remarks Friday at the White House, President Joe Biden again proved he is out of touch with reality. Responding to criticism that America's credibility has been damaged due to his precipitous withdrawal of U.S. troops, Biden said, "I have seen no question of our credibility from our allies around the world." Several allies have been critical, among them German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who met with Biden at the White House last month. She called the withdrawal "an extremely bitter development." We were not in this alone, after all. It is right for our allies who fought valiantly with us to feel betrayed.

Is There Any Job That's Worse Than Working For Joe Biden's Communications Team? There may not be any job worse than working for President Joe Biden's communications team. [...] Biden's communications staffers are presented almost daily with the near-Herculean task of cleaning up whatever the president said last; [...] For example, White House communications director Kate Bedingfield spent most of Friday morning trying to explain why Biden had taken a vacation while Afghanistan proverbially burned. He returned to the White House only to scold Republican governors for not forcing children to wear face masks in school and refused to take a single question on the chaos in Kabul. In the wake of all that, Bedingfield argued that Biden "never shied away from taking questions," prompting an understandably bewildered look from "Morning Joe" co-host Willie Geist.

Joe Biden [is] groveling as Taliban calls the shots. Neville Chamberlain can rest easy. He is no longer the most shameful appeaser in modern history. Joe Biden is the new champion of cowards. Biden didn't just blink in the face of terror. He is groveling before the Taliban, acknowledging their victory and laying the groundwork for their legitimacy as the rulers of Afghanistan. Who could imagine any American president allowing murderous thugs to set the terms of our military's surrender? But that's what has been happening and it crystalized Tuesday [8/24/2021]. The Taliban declared that no more Afghans should go to the Kabul airport, that those already there should leave and then they shut the main airport road. For all practical purposes, those words and actions ended the mercy mission of getting our allies out. And Biden didn't object. Not even a whimper, just silent acceptance.

With Biden's latest statement, we know who's calling the shots in Afghanistan. There's a lot of speculation about what's going to happen to the people trapped in Afghanistan and what Biden is going to do about their being trapped there. The top contenders are either (a) that there are going to be massacres of both Americans and Afghans or (b) that, in addition to giving the Taliban $83 billion in state-of-the-art weapons and transport, we're going to give them additional billions to get them to release thousands of hostages. Both scenarios are awful.

Awkward: Joe Biden Can't Explain Why He Picked Kamala Harris as His Vice President. Well before he became the Democratic presidential nominee and even before then-Sen. Kamala Harris bowed out of the 2020 campaign before the first primary vote was even cast, Joe Biden was being urged, pressured, steamrolled, whatever you want to call it by the mainstream media and "woke" Democrats into picking a female as his running mate, preferably a black female. [...] Biden settled on Harris, who was viewed after the first primary debate in June 2019 to be Biden's staunchest adversary in the campaign. But within weeks of her star rising after that first debate, her poll numbers fell. Tulsi Gabbard scored a knockout punch against Harris during her second debate. Polls were taken that summer that showed even a majority of black and female voters were not warming up to her. Just a few months later, she dropped out. But two summers after her presidential campaign cratered, Harris is still having a tough time of it, bumbling through one crisis after another along with getting hit with a surprising wave of bad press which has undoubtedly had an impact on her declining approval numbers.

Biden's crimes. Where is Congress? Biden has blown up the reputation of the US and proven that he and his band of milquetoasts are wholly without decency, ethics, and any sense of morality. This is a bad bunch of people who have taken Obama's intent to bring America down a peg and doubled down. They are orchestrating our defeat which, given what he has surrendered to the Taliban/Al Qaeda/ ISIS, may lead to our destruction. So, why are the men and women of Congress not standing together demanding that these treasonous tools of China be removed from office immediately? Who do they represent if not the American people? Biden is putting their families at risk along with the rest of us. Biden's clumsy and lethal withdrawal from Afghanistan proves, once and for all, his malevolence. He opened the southern border to all comers on the first day of his administration. He is hosting an invasion, welcoming migrants with covid, syphilis, AIDS, TB, and probably many more diseases, some long ago eradicated in the US. They are gang members, cartel employees, and sex traffickers and of course there are innocents among them. Biden is preventing the deportation of all of them. This can only be a calculated plan to infect Americans with covid and other communicable diseases and the crime that will surely infect their communities. And now he is vowing to bring tens of thousands of Afghani refugees to our cities and towns.

Joe Biden Caves to Taliban: Sticks with August 31 Withdrawal Deadline. President Joe Biden on Tuesday caved to the Taliban and pledged to honor the August 31 withdrawal deadline for U.S. personnel in Afghanistan, Reuters reported. Biden's decision comes after Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said Tuesday morning that the terrorists will accept "no extensions" to the August 31 deadline.

Biden Decides to Stick to August 31 Withdrawal Deadline amid Taliban Threats. President Biden has decided to adhere to his initial August 31 deadline for withdrawing American forces from Afghanistan. At a meeting with leaders of G7 nations, "the President conveyed that our mission in Kabul will end based on the achievement of our objectives," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement. "He confirmed we are currently on pace to finish by August 31st." Biden "also made clear that with each day of operations on the ground, we have added risk to our troops with increasing threats from ISIS-K, and that completion of the mission by August 31st depends on continued coordination with the Taliban," Psaki said. "The President has asked the Pentagon and the State Department for contingency plans to adjust the timeline should that become necessary."

Joker Joe Biden can't laugh this Afghanistan debacle off. The laughter was so off-kilter, it made you wonder if Joe Biden had taken leave of his senses during his mini-press conference Sunday [8/22/2021]. Americans are trapped behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. Our troops at Kabul airport are faced with an uncontrollable surge of people so desperate to escape, they are dying in the crush. America has suffered its worst self-inflicted humiliation and the free world is less safe — all because of his dumb decisions. And he laughs? A cold, inappropriate laugh, muscle memory deployed as a political weapon by a man operating on empty.

Dr. Jill and the fall of Biden. Fox & Friends Weekend host Rachel Campos-Duffy is catching a lot of flak for saying over the weekend what many of us noted during the campaign: that Joe Biden's loved ones should have spared this rapidly declining man the ordeal (and shame) of serving as POTUS when his health was obviously not up to the task. [...] As the debacle of abject surrender in Afghanistan unfolds and worsens, the commander in chief is barely working, frequently hidden away from the public, and quite obviously not up to they job. [...] Of course, I am not privy to the private conservations of the president and first lady, but given the frank admission that Mrs. Biden was animated by a lust for title in obtaining a doctorate in education with a term paper-length "dissertation" from a third tier school of education, I tend to see her as Lady McBiden, pushing and manipulating her hapless near-ward to keep her own grip on perks, title, and prerogatives. A majority of the country now recognizes he is not mentally fit for the office he holds. [...] It's happened before with Edith Wilson. It might well be happening now.

The Afghanistan Debacle Will Relegate the Current Ruling Class to the Dustbin of American History. The disaster that is the withdrawal from Afghanistan coupled with other innumerable debacles that Joe Biden has singlehandedly precipitated in just seven months should not come as a surprise to anyone who has paid attention to his career. His fifty years as a politician is littered with a litany of failures due to unforced errors, countless flip-flops, plagiarism, cupidity, mendacity and demagoguery all brought about by an overweening sense of infallibility and egocentrism. Yet he was chosen by the current ruling class to be the figurehead in their devious scheme to defeat Donald Trump by any means possible in the 2020 election. [...] The current ruling elites were well aware of the failings of their fellow member of the fraternity. Nonetheless, in their rabid fixation on ridding the nation, and more importantly themselves, of Donald Trump, they were determined to elevate a woefully compromised and incompetent Joe Biden to the Oval Office by overtly and perhaps illegally manipulating election laws and obfuscating or burying unflattering and negative stories about him and his family.

This Horrible Fiasco Demands Change. The Biden Administration, after seven months, has shown no competence whatever in foreign or national security policy. A moron would know that when evacuation is intended, the vulnerable, the civilians, the dependents, and the local supporters should all be evacuated under cover of the military and the armed forces should leave last in an orderly manner and in a well-covered and protected retreat. The United States had the military capability to do this and the explanation for not doing it, from Secretary of State Antony Blinken, has been that everyone in Afghanistan and the whole world had plenty of notice that the Americans were leaving. He should have been fired within one minute of uttering that statement.

Meltdown of a Superpower. The inability of Lloyd Austin, Thoroughly Modern Milley, Tailspin Taylor and the other beribboned buffoons of the Potemtagon to adapt swiftly and effectively to ground conditions that are changing hour by hour is as telling as anything. It is not just that General Milley and the Joint Buffoons of Staff cannot plan; they cannot execute. Compare the 2,500 Americans evacuated from Kabul over this last week to the 7,000 Americans and allies choppered out of Saigon in just nineteen hours. Can Milley do anything in nineteen hours other than call his tailor and order up his next row of ribbonry? The Taliban know an American humiliation when they see one, and for the moment they're content to let Austin and Milley and the rest of Washington's worthless elite dig deeper.

Biden's Blustering His Way Into a Moral and Political Disaster. Joe Biden was bluffing with a weak hand again. Faced with the prospect that America's promised retreat from Afghanistan wouldn't be complete by month's end, the commander in chief began backtracking on his exit date last week. "If there's American citizens left, we're going to stay to get them all out," he told ABC News. But the enemy gets a vote now, thanks to our rush to the exits. The Taliban called him on it, warning that his August 31 deadline — just one week from now! — was a "red line" and crossing it would "provoke a reaction." Biden's counter? To fold. At least, that's my interpretation, based on the administration's comments on Monday.

Biden Says History Will Look on His Decision to Let the Taliban Take Over as the "Logical, Rational, Right Decision". President Joe Biden thinks history will strongly support his Afghanistan decision which led to a Taliban takeover, deaths of innocent human beings, rape of children, oppression of women and the total waste of over $2 trillion. During a train wreck of a speech on Sunday, Biden delivered comments from the White House where he continued to voice his support for his botched Afghanistan withdraw which has been widely criticized by most people in the media. Biden went as far to say that his decision was not only right, but "logical" and "rational" as well.

Stand-by for the Real Insurrection — by the Democrats. [Scroll down] Biden did his share. He signed a record number of executive orders, many of questionable constitutionality. But now, as has been so painfully and obviously illuminated by the Afghanistan debacle, the president's competence and reliability are dramatically compromised by clearly advancing symptoms of old age. Consequently, we are about to witness a genuine insurrection that will put Jan. 6, 2020, into proper perspective. The unruly mob that stormed the Capitol was weak tea. Even its most militant participants never intended to overthrow the government. Their purpose was simply to have votes recounted and verified, which still hasn't been done. What looms today is far more serious, infinitely more calculated and definitely more likely to achieve its goal: to replace a sitting president in mid-term, probably against his will. It ain't gonna be pretty. It has the real possibility of resembling a banana republic coup d'état.

Empathizer-in-chief exposed as a lie. The crisis in Afghanistan, mushrooming with the force and immensity of a nuclear bomb, is clearly a huge nuisance for President Biden. His demeanor this week is that of a sullen 12-year-old boy whose summer vacation has been cut short. He had to be dragged from Camp David to address the nation last Monday, and as the week went on he couldn't believe this was still a thing. Irritation is his current mood. [...] Ladies and gentleman, the mask has come off. This isn't old age. This isn't political defiance or mental defect. This is stone-cold callous disregard for human life — lives lost due to Biden's own insistence on a hasty withdrawal, keeping our allies in the dark. American civilians on the ground, now in hiding from the Taliban, were given no heads-up. As for the Afghans who risked their lives, and the lives of their family members, to help us — President Biden doesn't care about them either.

A reminder of how we got the Biden presidency. [Scroll down] But Biden didn't join the campaign trail — except when he did, and no one showed up. On some occasions, even though Biden was briefly present, the media had to be satisfied with photos of Jill Biden or a local candidate actually doing the rah-rah stuff. Basically, everyone knew this was not due to any other cause than Biden's declining cognitive faculties. His online interludes from the basement in Delaware made that clear. For months America hardly ever saw Joe Biden, but awarded him the biggest primary vote total ever. The DNC was held "virtually" in August 2020, with almost no in-person appearances by top-drawer politicians, and Biden was nominated in absentia. He chose as his running mate Kamala Harris, who had suspended her own presidential campaign for lack of interest in December 2019, and thereafter compiled a total of 844 primary votes in New Hampshire and Arkansas, where she was still on the ballot. Harris did a few campaign events in the fall of 2020, although she wasn't going over well with voters, who failed to show up — as they continued to fail to show up for Biden's rare public outings.

The Drossy Touch of Joe Biden. Biden has no clue about the actual destructive implementation of his toxic policies, and no concern upon whom these destructive agendas fall. He vaguely assumes a lapdog left-wing media will repackage every Biden incoherence as Periclean, and every daily "lid" as Biden's escape for presidential research, deep reading, and intensive deliberation. Biden appears to be about where Woodrow Wilson was in November 1919.

Biden confuses Afghan people with the country's currency. Joe Biden's propensity for verbal gaffes haunted the US president again after he referred to Afghans as "Afghanis" — the country's currency. The slip was noticed by Idrees Ali, a Pentagon correspondent with the Reuters news agency. He voiced his irritation on Twitter [...] [Tweet]

The Media's Failure to Vet Candidate Biden Is Linked to the Afghanistan Debacle. It was obvious to any sentient observer in 2020. In defending himself on Afghanistan, Joe Biden fumbled his words, made weird comments and generally didn't seem up to the job of being president. And the media pretended there was nothing to see. This week Newsmax host Greg Kelly took the problem head on from a media perspective. Afghanistan, Kelly observed with accompanying quite vivid video, "is a full blown disaster." Which is most decidedly true. After a video montage of Biden doing his bizarre kissing and hair-smelling routines, Kelly zeroed in again on Biden's competence — and the media.

Afghan Fallout: Biden Blows Up His Entire Case For Being President. For most of the past week, in the fires of the worst foreign policy crisis of his young administration, the president who won the White House on a promise of competence and compassion has had trouble demonstrating much of either." That's not us saying that. This is how the New York Times described the Afghanistan debacle, which is as sure a sign as any of how much trouble President Joe Biden is in right now. But we'd go further than the Times. Biden's backers — and Biden himself — didn't just portray Joe as competent and empathetic. They said he was experienced, thoughtful, trustworthy, and had sound judgment. That he'd unite the country, and restore America's standing in the world. That he was, unlike Donald Trump, presidential. It was the basis of Biden's entire presidential campaign, in fact. [...] Who can say any of that now with a straight face?

CBS Poll: Majority of Americans No Longer Believe Biden Is Competent, Admit Botched Afganistan Withdrawal. The majority of Americans no longer believe President Joe Biden is competent in his role as the Commander-in-Chief, according to a CBS News poll. Fifty-one percent of the respondents said Biden is not competent in his position as president. This is compared to only 49 percent who said he is. Additionally, the poll found that 52 percent of the respondents did not feel the president has been focused. The poll was taken during and after the fall of the now-Taliban-controlled Kabul, Afghanistan, when Biden botched the U.S. troops' withdrawal from the country.

The Rotten Edifice Revealed. Doubtless you have read or heard comments like those of the TV journalist Jen Griffen about Joe Biden's brief remarks on Friday regarding Afghanistan. "I'm having a hard time digesting what we heard," she said, "because I couldn't fact-check it fast enough in real-time because there were so many misrepresentations of what is happening on the ground." Bottom line: "This was just an alternate reality that was presented to us from the White House." I presume what she had in mind were statements by Biden like this: "We know of no instance where the Taliban are not letting our citizens through the checkpoints freely." Or, in response to a question from the Associated Press, that he has seen "no question of our credibility from our allies around the world." The problem is, of course, the wondrous world of instant communications. We have all seen these videos of the Taliban manhandling the crowds outside the gates of the airport, not to mention the scads of anxious reports from people trapped in their homes, awaiting a knock on the door from the Taliban, and news reports of the condemnation of the Biden Administration by the British Parliament.

Joe Biden, Sinking into the Sand. Put bluntly, Biden is not as advertised. He was supposed to bring a divided nation together. He promised to govern not with an iron fist, but with a velvet glove. Now that hand has trouble finding his mask. Joe represented himself as a serious candidate, well versed in affairs of state. Instead, we are saddled with a cipher in the White House, a compromised head of state who takes in teleprompter content through his beady eyes and drones it out through his thin lips. In many U.S. states, there are "lemon laws" that provide a remedy for purchases of cars and other consumer goods to compensate for products that fail to meet standards of quality and performance. If the home you buy comes with unhappy surprises, there are legal remedies. The Federal Trade Commission enforces truth in adverting laws. Nothing like this applies to politicians who disappoint.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to submit articles of impeachment on Joe Biden. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced Thursday [8/19/2021] that she will submit articles of impeachment on Joe Biden on Friday in response to the United State's disastrous exit from Afghanistan that left thousands of Americans trapped behind enemy lines. "Joe Biden is failing America and he needs to be impeached," Greene stated. "I do have articles of impeachment drawn up to submit tomorrow because I believe in firing people when they're corrupt and they do a bad job," Representative Greene said.

What Afghanistan tells us about Team Biden's incompetence. Last year, during the presidential campaign, Joe Biden promised the American people his administration would be characterized by order, discipline, experience, and, above all, competence. That has turned out to be spectacularly and obviously wrong. As we watch the spiraling disaster that is the withdrawal — which, unlike its antecedent collapse in Saigon, is likely to get worse, not better in the coming weeks — fundamental questions arise about the competence of the Biden administration and what the answers might mean for the remainder of its agenda. [...] There are seldom two meetings on the presidential schedule, and there have only been a handful of trips to places other than Delaware. Announcements of the closure of the news-making portion of the day ("lids") have been called as early as 11 am. During and after the fall of Kabul, the president was at Camp David, apparently by himself. More disconcertingly, elements of the 82nd Airborne Division were placed on alert the morning of August 12th. Yet five days later, the West Wing remained largely empty. This egregious absence of senior staff, while our young soldiers try their best to extract Americans and allies under tough circumstances, is inexplicable and inexcusable. Mr. Biden has given fewer than 10 in-person on-camera interviews so far, compared to the dozens both of his immediate predecessors had given at this point in their presidencies. This leadership, or lack thereof, and its tempo dates back to the campaign and is exceedingly unusual for a sitting president.

Former British Commander in Afghanistan Calls for Joe Biden's Court-Martial. Col. Richard Kemp, CBE, joined Mark Levin on 'Life, Liberty & Levin' this week following fall of Afghanistan. [...] During his interview with Mark Levin[,] Col. Kemp said the fall of Afghanistan has devastating effects on NATO. "President Biden has completely destroyed his credibility single-handedly... Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State are strong in Afghanistan. They will operate freely. And they can operate more freely than before 9-11. Jihadists from around the world will train, flock to Afghanistan... There is no one more who is cheering this than Russia and China. They will now see they have pretty much an open field... In my opinion. I don't say this often, and I don't say this lightly. And I've never said this about anybody else. Any other leader in this position. People are talking about impeaching President Biden. I don't think President Biden should be impeached. He's the Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces who has just essentially surrendered to the Taliban. He shouldn't be impeached. He should be court-martialed for betraying the United States of America and the United States Armed Forces."

If Only We Could Court-Martial President Biden. [Ret. Col. Richard] Kemp might not be aware that under our Constitution, a U.S. President cannot be court-martialed, as he is a civilian. That's not to say he doesn't deserve to be. We can joke all we want about taking the keys away from Grandpa, but it's too late for that. He has already crashed the car. [...] Court-martialing Biden would be a great start, and I wish we could do it. But it's that whole disreputable crew — the Democrat leadership — that is responsible for getting Biden (and Kamala) nominated, for knowingly covering up his cognitive inadequacy, for changing rules to make it easier to elect him (I won't even go into the various means of suspected cheating), and to essentially run his administration.

The Never-Trump National Review now laments the (alleged) election of Joe Biden.
Joe Biden Is Who We Said He Was. Joe Biden has badly, visibly bungled America's withdrawal from Afghanistan. He has compounded the problem with his sluggish and dishonest public statements. This has gone so badly that even people and institutions that are normally sympathetic to Biden and his party have noticed. American allies have been appalled, and vocal about it. What is slowly dawning on people is that Biden's critics were right about him all along. Not since James Buchanan has America had a president who came so prepared by experience for the job, yet had so little clue how to do it.

When the Peter Principle applies to the Oval Office, you get disaster. The voters in Delaware were content to return Joe to the Senate every six years. His legislative contributions were minor or nonexistent. So what if it was suggested that he was on the wrong side of every foreign policy issue during his tenure? But then along came Barack Obama, and everything changed. The president-to-be chose Biden as his running mate because of what Obama later claimed to be "a gut feeling" that Biden was right for the job. Biden lent years of service to the relative newcomer Obama but was enough of a lightweight to pose no threat in his subservient role. [...] Now, because of a perfect storm of a COVID pandemic, a corrupt media, and a badly divided Democrat party, old Sleepy Joe is the POTUS. Heaven only knows what other debacles await. One would think the Afghanistan disaster, the southern border mess, burgeoning inflation, and the return to OPEC energy dependence would be enough. But remember: Biden has the ability to mess everything up.

Joe Biden's aides were 'too afraid' to quiz him and his national security adviser Jake Sullivan over key decisions made in run-up to US withdrawal from Afghanistan. The President is accused of insisting on recalling US troops ahead of the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington DC, and allegedly ignored warnings that it would not leave the military enough time to get American nationals and allies out. A former defence official in regular contact with senior White House aides suggested that there was not much pushback from concerned administration staffers because they were 'too afraid' of challenging Mr Biden and his National Security Adviser, Jake Sullivan.

Britain loses patience with Sleepy Joe: Tony Blair brands Biden an 'imbecile' over 'tragic, dangerous and unnecessary' decision to quit Afghanistan. Tony Blair has blasted Joe Biden's 'imbecilic' decision to withdraw US troops from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, calling the President's scuttle 'tragic, dangerous and unnecessary' and claiming the move had 'every Jihadist group round the world cheering'. Mr Blair, who was in Downing Street when London sent UK troops to the Middle Eastern country 20 years ago following the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington DC, said Britain has a 'moral obligation' to stay until 'all those who need to be are evacuated'. In a 2,700 article on the threat of 'radical Islam', the former British prime minister said the exit was not in the West or Afghanistan's interest as he lamented the likely reversal of gains made during the occupation, with the Taliban reasserting itself across most of the country in recent days.

Joe Biden Has Been a Monumental Disaster. As commander in chief, Joe Biden carries ultimate responsibility for a decision that will haunt America for a generation or more. His legacy will be one of failure, exceedingly poor judgment and staggering incompetence. His advisers, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, must also shoulder some of the blame. Upon entering office, Biden's team promised to "restore America's credibility" following the supposed unpredictability of the Trump years. Instead they now look like a bunch of amateurs, outplayed by the Taliban, a movement frequently depicted as living in the Dark Ages. The handling of Afghanistan has been so bad that even Biden's cheerleaders in the Left-wing U.S. media, from CNN to The Washington Post, have loudly denounced him. Unfortunately, the Afghanistan debacle is not an aberration for the Biden presidency. It exemplifies the Biden approach. On practically every foreign policy front, the Democratic presidency is driving U.S. decline.

The Chinese certainly have benefitted from Biden's presidency. I wonder why.
British Parliament Unloads On Biden: 'Biden May Have Condemned The World To Chinese Domination In Future'. Numerous members of the British Parliament slammed President Joe Biden this week in response to the catastrophe the president created in Afghanistan with his disastrous pullout and handling of the situation. The remarks came on Wednesday [8/18/2021] from members in the House of Lords, which is one of the two chambers in the British Parliament. Members blamed Biden for the situation and shamed him for trying to cast blame on others, including the Afghan military. Many of the members said that America's image was seriously damaged around the world and the West could suffer greatly in the years to come because nations may no longer trust the West to keep its promises.

Rep. Claudia Tenney: Biden Must Resign After Afghanistan Failure. Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) told Breitbart News Saturday [8/21/2021] that President Joe Biden must resign following his major foreign policy failure in Afghanistan as thousands of Americans remain stranded, blasting his "arrogant callousness" and false assertions that Americans are able to access the airport in Kabul as the condition in the area, under Taliban rule, worsens. "Either he's lying to us or he doesn't know what's happening on the ground or he's not listening to the generals or our intel community. There seems to be a miscommunication. All this was already transpiring early on," Tenney said, referring to Biden's "festering mess" in Afghanistan and blasting the president for initially taking a vacation as the Taliban took over Kabul.

If Biden were a Republican, Dems in Congress would have impeached him. They should. The American-nurtured Afghan military of the last 20 years that had suffered thousands of prior casualties evaporated in a few hours in the encirclement of Kabul. Enlistees apparently calculated that their own meager chances with the premodern Taliban were still better than fighting as a dependency of the postmodern United States — despite its powerful diversity training programs. Forces more powerful than the Taliban, in places far more strategic, will now leverage an ideologically driven but predictably incompetent administration, a woke Pentagon and politically weaponized intelligence communities.

Video Re-Surface Where Obama Is Laughing About Joe's Mental Decline. 20 years ago Joe Biden was a wise-cracking Democrat politician on top of his game. Whether you liked him or not, nobody could deny he had a way with words and knew how to work a crowd. Fast forward to now, however, and the picture is not so rosy when it comes to the former vice president's cognitive health. The latest developments have left many Americans demanding Joe Biden to take a mental health evaluation! Joe Biden's cognitive decline is no laughing matter. The real problem [i]s that the Democrats knew about his mental decline almost a decade ago and still, they let him run for President!

The Steep Cost of Mishandling Our Withdrawal From Afghanistan. In March 1975, an American president was fighting to save an American ally from being overrun by an implacable enemy. The North Vietnamese Army, mounting a massive conventional strike on the Army of the Republic of Vietnam, was plunging closer to Saigon. Gerald Ford urged the Democratic congressional majority to authorize military aid to South Vietnam. His pleas were met with intransigence and disdain. An ally collapsed, countless refugees were forced into the sea, murder reigned throughout South Vietnam, and "reeducation" camps became a way of life. One of those standing in the way of Ford's attempt to save our friends was a new senator from Delaware named Joseph Robinette Biden. Sound familiar? Now we have fresh confirmation of former Defense Secretary Robert Gates' warning that Biden has been on the wrong side of every major national security issue for over 40 years (he even opposed the operation to kill Osama bin Laden). The benefit, though, of having Biden in the Senate and the vice presidency was that he never had his hands on the levers of kinetic power — until now.

Biden's Afghanistan presser did not match reality and then he ran out. During today's [8/20/2021] Afghanistan presser, Joe Biden had a lot of trouble talking and often sounded like a drunk because of his mental problem. Biden bragged about flying home 169 Americans yesterday. That is out of 15,000 Americans, although he doesn't actually know how many are there. He lied and said he is working in close cooperation with our allies. He kept saying they are all working together. It took him 36 hours to talk with Boris Johnson. He is going to have a united front with our allies moving forward, he said. The G7 will meet next week. Biden is still relying on the Taliban to get safe passage for Americans.

Everything Is Not All Right. In case you haven't noticed, the Biden Administration is a dumpster fire of seeming incompetence and dementia. I don't believe that is by accident, and I believe those calling the shots wish to do harm to the United States. A brief review of the Biden family's financial dealings in China begs the question of a compromised or even installed presidency. Even the staunchest of corporate media allies have at times brought themselves to question the mental health status of Joe Biden, which has led to the assertion that the lights are on but nobody's home. And given the projection on display during the Trump Administration, any recognition of the current state is met with a dose of leftist "whataboutism." Accusations of poor mental health or incompetence are chalked up to retaliation in the current political climate. Surely there is a puppet master pulling these strings? Joe Biden didn't bother to campaign for office and yet raked in more votes than any candidate in history by a wide margin, after all.

Most voters deem Biden unfit to be president, poll shows. Fewer than 40 percent of likely voters believe Joe Biden is carrying out the duties of the presidency, according to a poll released Friday as the US evacuation of Afghanistan continues to spiral out of control. The survey from Rasmussen Reports found that just 39 percent of respondents thought that Biden was "doing the job of president," while 51 percent answered that "others are making decisions" for the 78-year-old, and 10 percent said they were not sure. That represents a drastic drop from a similar poll conducted in March, when the response to that question was evenly divided 47-47. In addition, 52 percent of respondents said they were "not confident" that Biden was physically and mentally up to the job of being commander-in-chief, compared to 46 percent who said they were.

Doctors say they would be concerned about 'anyone' with Joe Biden's symptoms at age 78 after two brain aneurysms and a heart condition. Questions have been raised about US President Joe Biden's cognitive wellbeing after a car crash interview over his handling of the unfolding Afghanistan crisis. America's oldest president provided jumbled responses to questions and mixed up details about his son in an interview with ABC. The stumbles did not make the broadcasted version but were revealed when a full transcript of the interview was published overnight. [...] Mr Biden has previously suffered two brain aneurysms and a heart condition which makes the muscle beat too fast, causing dizziness and confusion. A top cardiologist told MailOnline today [8/20/2021] that both conditions are linked to memory difficulties and confusion, as well as dementia.

Biden Admin Has No Plan to Keep Cash Out of Taliban's Hands, GOP Lawmakers Say. As the Biden administration scrambles to evacuate American personnel from Afghanistan, it is overlooking the Taliban's plans to seize some $10 billion in assets held by Afghanistan's central bank, according to congressional foreign policy leaders. Somewhere between $18 and $20 million in cash sits in the Afghan central bank's vaults and is likely to fall into the Taliban's hands unless the United States attempts to intercept the funds and fly them out of the country — a scenario that sources say is unlikely as the Biden administration struggles to pull Americans out of Taliban-controlled Kabul. The Treasury Department would not answer questions about any plan it has to secure cash still located inside the country. A Biden administration official, speaking only on background about the matter, told the Washington Free Beacon that all Afghan assets held as investments in the United States — which amount to around $7 billion — have been frozen and "will not be made available to the Taliban."

Recap of the week's events:
Biden just had his worst week as president yet. President Joe Biden just faced one of his toughest weeks as president yet, with pandemonium in Afghanistan, skyrocketing COVID-19 cases, and a declining approval rating. Roughly a month after Biden forcefully defended his move to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan, expressing "trust" in the capacity of the Afghan military to keep the Taliban at bay, the militant Islamist group marched into Kabul on Sunday. The Taliban had rapidly seized major cities over the course of the prior week, often without much of a fight. The militants regained control of the country just days after the US military assessed that it would take up to 90 days for Kabul to fall. The Biden administration was ultimately forced to acknowledge that it got it wrong and was caught completely off guard by the blistering pace of the Taliban's advance. Harrowing scenes have followed the Taliban takeover — including Afghans falling from US military planes as they desperately sought to flee the country.

Pentagon Confirms Biden's Either Lying to the American People or Incompetent. Just minutes after President Biden failed to offer any real explanation for why things have gone sideways in Afghanistan amid the U.S. withdrawal, Pentagon officials proved that much of what Biden told the American people was untrue. That or Biden is entirely unaware of critical information regarding what's going on in the world. Despite standing at the President's side while Biden declared "we know of no circumstance where American citizens, carrying an American passport" have had trouble getting to Hamid Karzai International Airport, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin reportedly told members of the House of Representatives that Americans are in fact being beaten by the Taliban in Kabul.

Biden lies through his teeth, fails to fess up to Afghanistan shambles for third time. President Joe Biden still won't apologize for the complete chaos he's triggered in Afghanistan as tens of thousands of American and allied lives remain at risk. Despite his claims to the contrary, his pullout has been an utter disaster, and America's standing has suffered. His televised speech Friday [8/20/2021] was once again an exercise in delusion, misdirection — and flat-out lying. In his remarks, for instance, the president declared: "I have seen no question of our credibility from our allies around the world." He then looked back at his court jesters, a masked Secretary of State Antony Blinken and clueless Vice President Kamala Harris, as if he really believed what he was saying. "Matter of fact, the exact opposite I've got." Does he think Americans are really that gullible?

Biden to Afghans: 'See ya, Suckers!' [Consider] the millions of myopic and stupid Americans who last November voted for Joe Biden to become our 46th President. Some were just partisan Democrats or Teamsters or members of the teachers union: garden variety drones who would have elected me President if I'd been the Democratic Party nominee. Others were motivated by Donald Trump's "mean Tweets" which made them "uncomfortable." [...] Instead, every one of them bears the guilt and shame of inflicting on our nation a man who is unquestionably the most incompetent and pathetic "leader" in our nation's history, and who this week has foisted on America and the world the most humiliating defeat imaginable by literally presiding long-distance over the collapse of Afghanistan. This doddering joke — who, let's face it, everyone knows isn't really in charge — loves to stumble his way through teleprompter speeches which his faceless underlings write for him, referring to our fellow Americans who question his 2020 election as "terrorists." Meantime, he hid in radio silence at Camp David as actual terrorists took over a country we'd been defending for 20 years.

British Diplomatic Memo Reveals Biden Assured G-7 Allies in June US Would Ensure Kabul's Stability. A British diplomatic memo leaked to Bloomberg News reveals Joe Biden promised G-7 allies in June at the summit in Cornwall, England that "critical US enablers" would remain in place to keep Kabul stable. British officials took Biden's word and assumed they would keep the embassy safely functioning. They were wrong.

Joe Biden Puts on an Obscene Performance After Finally Showing for Postponed Afghanistan Presser. Until today, Joe Biden had yet to hold a single press conference since the disastrous collapse of Afghanistan. With thousands of Americans and Afghan allies still trapped throughout the war-torn country in chaos, Biden was finally set to give remarks and answer questions. That came on the heels of an inexplicable decision some days ago to appear and only speak on COVID while not taking any questions. Within minutes of the presser's original scheduled time, it was postponed.

ABC Blasts Biden's 'Breathtaking' Lies on Afghanistan Catastrophe. Immediately following President Biden's contentious Friday press conference about the ongoing disaster he created in Afghanistan, ABC News special coverage slammed him for saying things about the crisis that were just blatantly false. Correspondents described his lies as "breathtaking" and completely out of touch with the dire reality facing U.S. citizens and Afghan allies still trapped in the Taliban-controlled country.

Fact-Checking Biden's Address. CLAIM: "My national security team and I have been closely monitoring the situation on the ground in Afghanistan and moving quickly to execute the plans we had put in place to respond to every constituency, including — and contingency — including the rapid collapse we're seeing now." REALITY: Biden Scrapped Trump's Afghanistan Rescue Plan. "Raheem Kassam revealed on Wednesday that under President Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo's State Department had ordered the creation of a 'Contingency and Crisis Response' office whose job would be avoiding 'a future Benghazi-style situation for Americans overseas.' But while Biden lied to ABC's George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday that 'We planned for every contingency,' behind the scenes, Biden's State Department had already 'revoked the funding and the approval' for Trump's response team, according to Kassam." I'd also add that had Biden planned for every contingency, things would look [...] a lot different in Kabul right now.

Biden keeps digging hole deeper on his disastrous evacuation of Afghanistan. This was his third speech in the last five days on the unfolding crisis in Kabul, and the president should bring a shovel to the next one. It would be an appropriate prop for a man who is determined to dig himself deeper into the hole every time he opens his mouth. As it is, the props he used — Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Tony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin — were worse than useless. The silly masks they wore made them look as if they were trying to hide their faces in embarrassment. You couldn't blame them — except they all share in the responsibility for this epic failure. Even before we know the final outcome, the terrifying chaos so many Americans face in Kabul and our government's dependence on the kindness of bloodthirsty terrorists mark this as a singularly humiliating experience for the world's greatest superpower.

Resign. Afghanistan has a fighting season. In late autumn, the Taliban go to the fields and oversee harvesting poppies for the opium drug trade. In winter, they retreat through mountain passes into northern Pakistan. The winters in Afghanistan are rough and frigid. In the early spring, after the snow melts, the Taliban return to Afghanistan and plant poppies. Then they fight. This is a well-known and well-documented cycle. When Trump announced a withdrawal, he insisted on withdrawing while the Taliban were in the fields planting poppies. They would be preoccupied and unable to sweep down into the cities. For 18 months, with only 2,500 troops, Trump's military held the nation of Afghanistan together with zero American casualties. Biden, so insistent on having 9/11 as a symbol, overrode his military commanders and diplomats and insisted on a withdrawal in the middle of the fighting season. [...] The president should resign. If Trump were president, the Democrats and press would demand no less.

Tired of Being Tired? There's no high-fiving and hashtagging on social media about Joe Biden's victories. He has none. Even his voters know it. What's to celebrate? Who's winning in the last eight months after the election of the "most popular candidate to ever run for president?" Big government is winning. Teachers unions are winning. The Taliban is winning. Big tech is winning. Establishment party politics is winning. China is winning. Fear of a virus is winning. Inflation is winning. Five people who want to compete in sports as a different gender are winning. Illegal aliens are winning. Joe and Jane Q. Taxpayer aren't winning. They have fast become demoralized, defeated, dispirited, and depressed.

Afghanistan, Not An Intelligence Failure — Something Much Worse. While it's certainly convenient to depict the shock and miscalculation U.S. officials claim over Afghanistan's tragic, rapid fall to the Taliban as an intelligence failure, the reality is far worse. It's a convenient deflection of responsibility for decisions taken owing to political and ideological considerations and provides a scapegoat for a policy decision that's otherwise unable to offer a persuasive defense. [...] In his prepared remarks on Monday, President Biden stated, "But I always promised the American people that I will be straight with you. The truth is: This did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated." That's misleading at best. The CIA anticipated it as a possible scenario.

You've just crossed over. On Wednesday [8/18/2021] Joe Biden's minders in the daycare operation at the White House sent him forth to stare vacantly into the teleprompter and deliver remarks in the East Room. With our ongoing national humiliation proceeding in Afghanistan, Biden sought to turn our attention to — booster shots. The press was summoned to serve as extras. Biden took no questions. [...] This is what he said, according to the transcript: "Quite frankly, it's a tragedy. There are people who are dying and who will die who didn't have to." In other words, it didn't need to be this way. Unbelievably, animatronic Joe wasn't referring to his own performance as Commander-in-Chief. He wasn't referring to Afghanistan. Nary a word about the historic debacle in Afghanistan. The people running the daycare operation at the White House must be out of their minds. What are they thinking? What are we to think?

Afghanistan is much worse than the fall of Saigon. Biden needs to act like it. The past week was filled with harrowing images out of Afghanistan. Helicopters evacuating U.S. embassy staff in a visual callback to the fall of Saigon. Taliban soldiers roaming the streets, executing innocents. Afghans clinging to the outside of C-17s, some falling to their deaths after takeoff. Like most Americans, I agreed with Presidents Trump and Biden's goal to finally leave Afghanistan after 20 years. In my naivete, I expected a modicum of competence as we withdrew. By Sunday, everyone realized the withdrawal was a tactical fiasco. But instead of correcting the problems, our governmental officials thought it best to point fingers. The intel community leaked that they had warned the White House this would happen but were ignored. The Pentagon leaked their own warnings but insisted Biden overruled them, too. For his part, the president blamed everyone he could think of.

Report: Biden "Not Sleeping Well," Says He Wants to Go Home to Delaware to Sleep. According to a new report from conservative journalist Jack Posobeic, President Joe Biden is not sleeping well and wants to go home to Delaware after taking a separate vacation last weekend. "Biden telling staff he wants to go back to Delaware. Hasn't been sleeping well all this week. Thinks he will be more functional if he stays over at home in Wilmington," Posobeic reported. Just an hour after Posobiec dropped this tweet, WMAL News reported that Biden would in fact be going home to Wilmington, Delaware for a long weekend. [...] When America needs him most, Biden is going home to sleep in Delaware.

The Editor says...
I'm surprised he can sleep at all, since he can already see some of the ramifications of his instantly-regrettable decisions. I'm also surprised that he can sleep, knowing that the 2020 election was stolen, and how it was stolen, and knowing he was installed as president illegitimately, ending up as the hapless puppet of some person or persons yet unknown (to those of us outside Washington). He probably can't sleep because he knows his power-hungry Vice President is circling like a vulture, a little too eager to take over. I also suspect he can't sleep because he's probably pumped full of drugs that are supposed to turn back the hands of time and mitigate his senility. It's also amazing that he can sleep, knowing exactly what is, or might be, on Hunter Biden's abandoned, lost, or stolen laptop computers, since Hunter Biden seems to foolishly document everything he does. Including things the rest of us haven't heard about yet. It's also not surprising that he can't sleep because he probably understands where he'll be in another 20 years or less — probably much less, as feeble as he is already — and it's not a good place.

What's Wrong With Joe? Biden Calls a Lid on Public Appearances — Indefinitely. Biden has taken public appearances off his schedule without explanation. Reports indicate he has left Washington for his home state of Delaware, or soon will. Kamala Harris has announced a trip to Singapore and Vietnam after being silent throughout the Afghanistan crisis. Afghanistan remains a chaotic and extremely dangerous tinderbox with thousands of Americans stranded and surrounded by the Taliban while they await evacuation. But Joe Biden has walked away again and called a lid.

Is Biden okay? Why wouldn't the president want to be at the White House at a moment like this, signaling that he's in command and his administration is on the case? Hiding out in Delaware makes it seem like he's on vacation while U.S. troops struggle to maintain order at the Kabul airport with the Taliban outside the gate. Given the total disorder in American planning in Afghanistan over the past month, having Biden squirreled away in another state feeds the impression that no one's in charge. Or, worse, that he doesn't really care.

Can the Biden presidency last much longer? Though removal from office once was unthinkable, Joe Biden has lost the support of most of the key actors whose support helped him win the presidency, and whose cooperation is essential to maintaining the illusion that he is capable of fulfilling the duties of president of the United States. Because impeachment or the 25th Amendment removal from office would hinge on their support — Democrat officeholders now understand that they are at risk of losing their next election thanks to his sullying of the brand of the party that foisted an already senile placeholder on the public.

Appalling: Biden Scrapped Trump Afghanistan Rescue Plan. Raheem Kassam revealed on Wednesday [8/18/2021] that under President Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo's State Department had ordered the creation of a "Contingency and Crisis Response" office whose job would be avoiding "a future Benghazi-style situation for Americans overseas." But while Biden lied to ABC's George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday that "We planned for every contingency," behind the scenes, Biden's State Department had already "revoked the funding and the approval" for Trump's response team, according to Kassam. Biden didn't plan for every contingency. He killed our ability to respond to the most likely contingency.

Ex-Trump aide lays out Afghan withdrawal plan that Biden scrapped. he Biden administration ignored or jettisoned carefully designed plans to withdraw from Afghanistan, with the result being chaos and bedlam, a former national security official to President Donald Trump said. "I don't even know that anyone could have made this awful scenario up," former National Security Council Senior Director Kash Patel told Just the News. "It's literally worse than you could possibly conjure." Patel, who handled the Pentagon transition to Biden's team as chief of staff to Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, made his remarks while appearing Thursday on the John Solomon Reports podcast.

Why Joe Biden can't resign, or be removed — or die. In the wake of the Afghanistan debacle, demands have arisen in Congress for President Biden to resign or to be removed via the 25th Amendment. Elements of the formerly pro-Biden media have joined in the condemnation. Many silent Democrat office-holders likely want Biden out, as they fear that the systemic incompetence of his administration will bring them down come 2022. But Joe cannot resign or be fired. The Democrat high command will not let either happen, no matter the short-term political cost. On the surface, that makes little sense. Joe's resignation or removal would not alter Democrat control of the presidency and Congress. If Joe leaves, Kamala Harris becomes president. She is incompetent, too, but no more so than Joe, and is on board with the administration's radical agenda.

Joe Biden Plans Exit for Vacation in Delaware After Speech on Afghanistan Disaster. President Joe Biden will return to Delaware on Friday to resume his vacation, but first, he will deliver a speech about the disaster unfolding in Afghanistan. The president is scheduled to deliver remarks at 1:00 p.m., specifically about the process of evacuating American citizens, SIV applicants, and "vulnerable Afghans," the White House announced. [...] After his speech, the president will depart the White House for his home in Delaware. The president has stubbornly tried to maintain a vacation schedule, either in Delaware or Camp David, despite the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan as the Taliban rapidly seized control of the country before Biden's August 31st deadline.

Jen Psaki Accidentally Confirms Biden Lied About Military Commanders' Advice He Leave 2,500 Troops in Afghanistan. President Joe Biden denied in a recent interview that his top military commanders advised him to leave a contingency force of 2,500 troops in Afghanistan to secure equipment and oversee the evacuation. However, on Thursday [8/19/2021], White House Press Secretary was asked directly about multiple reports attesting to the advice given to Biden and indirectly confirmed that is exactly what happened. [Video clip]

Biden's Surrender Presidency. The seven months of the Biden presidency reveal a theme of surrender. Surrender is to give up possession of something to another, or to give up to some influence or idea. President Biden has surrendered so much on so many levels. The only question is how much is due to his abject incompetence versus a deliberate attempt to surrender America, the country he swore an oath to preserve, protect, and defend, to dark forces in the world. Start with the latest surrender, far from America in the war-torn country of Afghanistan. Despite promises to the contrary, Biden and his foreign policy clown posse gave us a rerun of Saigon in 1975. After hiding under his bed for a week, the President explained his brilliant strategy by blaming his predecessor President Trump, and the Afghan military. Surprisingly his speech writers failed to mention climate change, as another cause for the fall of Afghanistan.

How Will Biden Handle His Next 3 Afghan Crises? Biden was lying when he said the collapse of Afghanistan was inevitable. Even if he was right, a fighting withdrawal could not have been any less catastrophic. Why didn't Biden plan better to get out people and equipment? Biden had convinced himself, despite military and intelligence advice to the contrary, that defeat was inevitable. He assumed the Taliban would let him make a lightening withdrawal and U.S. forces and civilians would be gone before the country collapsed. That strategy left no time for a methodical withdrawal. Biden miscalculated. The Taliban had every reason to seek to humiliate the U.S. rather than allow a graceful retreat.

Why does Biden always get it wrong? Joe Biden's record on major foreign policy defies the law of averages. It seems almost impossible to have been wrong time after time on the big questions. [...] A friend who used to lobby Biden in the Senate tells me that Biden has a very short attention span and little tolerance for hearing details or analysis. And this was at a time when Biden was young. When my friend tried to explain his positions to Biden, the Senator's eyes would glaze over quickly and he would become dismissive. It's one thing to reject the views of experts. After all, they are often wrong. But to reject their views without really listening to them is a recipe for error. So is overconfidence in one's judgment coupled with a short attention span. Wehner thinks he has found a common thread in Biden's errors — a willingness to betray.

If he refuses to answer questions, it's not a press conference.
Biden Bolts Out Of Press Conference After Attacking GOP Governors, Refuses Questions. Democrat President Joe Biden bolted out of a press conference on Wednesday after repeatedly taking shots at Republican-led states over their handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Biden's press conference came as thousands of Americans remain trapped in Afghanistan and horrifying images have emerged from the nation showing violence and chaos erupting in the wake of his disastrous pullout from Afghanistan. He did not take a single question from reporters. [Tweet]

White House Walks Back Biden's Statement About Defending Taiwan, Says He Misspoke. A senior Biden administration official said Thursday [8/19/2021] that American policy on Taiwan has not changed despite Joe Biden appearing to suggest the United States would defend the island if it were attacked. In an ABC Interview, Biden grouped Taiwan in with countries that the U.S. is committed to defending. "They are... entities we've made agreements with based on not a civil war they're having on that island or in South Korea, but on an agreement where they have a unity government that, in fact, is trying to keep bad guys from doing bad things to them," Biden said. "We made a sacred commitment to Article 5 that if in fact anyone were to invade or take action against our NATO allies, we would respond. Same with Japan, same with South Korea, same with — Taiwan. It's not even comparable to talk about that." In case you are unfamiliar, Article 5 is an agreement which states that an attack on one NATO member is an attack on all. As reported by Reuters, a senior Biden official said the policy has not changed, however, and Biden simply misspoke.

Who Is Running The US Government Right Now? Because It Sure Isn't Joe Biden. It is clear that Americans need a leader now more than ever, but who is stepping up to the plate to fight this crisis head-on? It certainly isn't President Joe Biden and his team at the White House, who have all been hiding behind each other and using vacation time to cower from the press. Against expert and intelligence predictions, the Taliban swiftly dismantled the United State's decades-long pet project in Afghanistan in just one weekend. This left thousands of Americans and U.S. allies stranded and at the mercy of terrorists who hate women and any religion but their own. It's a situation that warrants all hands on deck, but the people who are supposed to be in charge of the country and barking orders to get Americans to safety seem to be snoozing, taking long weekends, and washing their hands clean of any responsibility. [...] Biden also finally took the time to sit down with ABC News's George Stephanopoulos and give one of his only presidential interviews since taking office. [...] It shouldn't be too much to ask the leader of our country and a global figure to do his job, but all we get is a confused, tired old man who obviously can't handle the pressure that comes with his position and offers gibberish and false statements as reassurance.

The Editor says...
One thing is certain: Well-deserved mockery and derision of Mr. Biden will continue for the rest of his term as president. Even the low-information voters are sure to hear quite a bit of it. Ridicule is a language they understand. Just ask Saul Alinsky.

Not a Joke: Biden Admin's Response to Taliban Violence Is a 'Strongly Worded' Letter. The Biden administration is dealing with its deeply serious disasters in a deeply unserious way. Biden's ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, appeared on CNN with Wolf Blitzer Tuesday and said that the United States and its remaining allies worked really, truly, very hard on a response to the Taliban as it tightened its grip on Afghanistan. That response — this is not a joke — came in the form of a strongly worded letter.

FBI Knew Of Hunter Biden's Missing Laptop As Early As December 2019. The FBI knew as early as December 2019 that Hunter Biden believed Russians had stolen his laptop, which he believed made him vulnerable to blackmail because of compromising evidence on the laptop combined with his father's presidential ambitions. This explosive revelation establishes that either Joe Biden lied to the American public, or the intelligence community lied to him. When The New York Post went public in October 2020 with videos, text messages, and emails from an abandoned MacBook laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, Joe Biden told Americans the laptop was a Russian hoax. But now Brian Della Rocca, an attorney representing John Paul Mac Isaac, has told me that the video of Hunter Biden telling a prostitute he thought Russians had stolen a second laptop, leaving him susceptible to blackmail, was "definitely on the hard drive" of the Biden MacBook abandoned at Isaac's shop and later seized by the FBI.

Fire them all. The longest war in U.S. history ended on Sunday [8/15/2021] with a stunning defeat and global humiliation. If America is going to bother with the expense of having a large standing army, navy, air force, and the rest, then it must make the entire chain of command in Washington make the Walk of Shame from office. It rolls downhill, so start at the top with the derelict president. He is cunning, crafty, and corrupt. Biden insisted in June nothing could go wrong. [...] We gave billions of dollars worth of equipment. Now that equipment belongs to the Taliban because they paid off the warlords. PJ Media reported, "Hollie McKay, a foreign policy expert and war crimes investigator who covered war, terrorism, and crimes against humanity for Fox News Digital for more than a decade, is reporting today from Afghanistan that the Taliban is paying off military commanders to abandon their posts and surrender their cities.

Irritated Biden gives first interview after Kabul fiasco: This withdrawal couldn't have been handled any better. I was not expecting the talking point from the White House after the week we've just endured to be, essentially, "This was the best-case scenario." The highlight below, I think, is Stephanopoulos asking him about desperate Afghans falling to their deaths after clinging to the outside of U.S. military planes taking off from Kabul and Biden answering, with visible annoyance, "That was four days ago, five days ago!" It was two days ago, Joe. But, okay, it's out of the current news cycle. Which makes it unimportant, I guess? Isn't empathy supposed to be the thing he's good at? I can't believe I'm going to say this but the White House might be better off letting Kamala Harris handle the messaging duties from now on.

Obama Presidential Center: 'In Honor of the President and Vice President Responsible for The Deaths Of All Those Left To Die in Afghanistan'. The overbearing hands of former U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama are all over the heartbreaking human crisis in Afghanistan. It is Obama's former Vice President who will go down in history as the president who botched the pull out of American troops from Afghanistan, leaving thousands of Americans and Afghan citizens to the epic brutality of the murderous Taliban, before cutting and running to Camp David — as if it none of it were even happening.

Trump Jr. to Newsmax: Taliban Waited Until [a] Weak Figure Was in the White House. The Taliban waited until there was a weak figure in the White House to make its move and President Joe Biden acted now to pull U.S. troops from Afghanistan because he wanted credit for ending the 20-year war, Donald Trump Jr. said. [...] ''So he changed Trump's plan. He tried to do it himself. He waited until the peak of the fighting season. He put no conditions on ... we had very clear conditions. So they came down these roads, we would have been droning them, we would have been taking them out. "The other difference is, most importantly, everyone looks at Joe Biden and all they see is an old man on his last legs, a man that can't walk up a flight of stairs, an empty suit who can't complete a sentence," Donald Trump Jr. told [Chris] Salcedo. "There's a difference. When they look at Trump, they understand that he has resolve, that he means business, that he is not to be trifled with. So they didn't." By pulling U.S. troops out of Afghanistan, the Biden administration created the largest hostage situation in the world, Trump Jr. said.

Joe Biden's State Dept Halted a Trump-Era 'Crisis Response' Plan Just Months Before Taliban Takeover. Joe Biden's State Department moved to cancel a critical State Department program aimed at providing swift and safe evacuations of Americans out of crisis zones just months prior to the fall of Kabul, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal. The "Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau" — which was designed to handle medical, diplomatic, and logistical support concerning Americans overseas was paused by Antony Blinken's State Department earlier this year. Notification was officially signed just months before the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan.

Biden Thunders Past Jimmy Carter as The Worst President Ever. Sure, William Harrison died just 32 days after the inauguration. He was too stupid to wear a coat. But mishandling of the Shah in particular, and the middle east, in general, pushed Jimmy Carter into the "worst president" spot. Now, Joe Biden is thundering past Jimmy Carter like a runaway train headed over the cliff. In just seven months, America is experiencing the worst inflation, ever. Biden didn't just "heat up" the economy, he put a hot iron into everyone's wallet. Biden converted the southern border from a border, into an express lane of illegal immigrants many of whom have been released into the interior, with COVID, never to be seen again. His handling of the exit from Afghanistan makes Napoleon's winter retreat from Moscow look like Grant's victory at Vicksburg. Biden told America that what just happened in Afghanistan, would never happen. Then, it happened. Biden also told America, that American's left outside the wire, must find their own way out — and in the same breathe claimed he had a "contingency" for everything.

Something Is Very Wrong Here With Latest News About Biden. Now, there's been a lot wrong, right down the line, when it comes to how Joe Biden has dealt with the debacle in Afghanistan. But one of the main problems with his administration is the failure to actually speak frankly and with transparency with the American people. They started this off very badly with both Biden and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki being on vacation. Biden didn't even come back until Monday to make his speech. Then he went back to Camp David, and then came back to make a speech today. But that speech, as we previously reported, isn't on Afghanistan, it's on the Wuhan coronavirus. That's stunning. Not exactly the thing that is most pressing with thousands of Americans and allies in danger in Afghanistan.

Keywords: Photoshop, fraud, fiction, phony, farce, flimflam.
New Evidence of Something Really Wrong with Biden's Camp David Photos — Not Just the Clocks. The White House on Sunday morning [8/15/2021] posted a photo of Joe Biden at Camp David, where he was vacationing when the news hit that Afghanistan was falling into the hands of the Taliban. [...] Maybe there's a perfectly good explanation for why the Camp David clocks are set to the way they would be in February. Just like there's a reason why Biden got a bald spot, grew hair back, and then balded again — all in one weekend. There's a better explanation: President Biden was indisposed this weekend as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and a White House staffer posted the unreleased Camp David photos that were on hand from February. Of course, this must seem to be an 'impossibility' for a mainstream news media that often fails to be nearly as critical of the Biden administration as they were about the last. But given the evidence at hand, it is the best available explanation at this point in time.

Joe Biden's Next Move Is One of Pure Delusion and Desperation. As far as I can tell, Joe Biden finally arrived back at the White House yesterday evening after hiding out for the better part of the last two weeks. While I can only find a text pool report claiming he did and not an actual confirmation (i.e. photos of him getting off Marine One), it does appear his activities today are scheduled to be in the Oval Office and East Room. What those activities are, though, will likely leave you gobsmacked. Is he going to do an emergency briefing and presser on the current disaster unfolding in Afghanistan? Nah, he's going to talk about COVID instead. Yes, while possibly over 10,000 Americans remain trapped on the ground in a hostile, foreign nation, the president is going to shoot the bull on the coronavirus again.

Joe Biden is imploding before our eyes. Having created one crisis after another — e.g., a broken economy, a broken border, a broken energy supply and, now, a broken Afghanistan — you'd think that Biden would at least step up and lead us into some brave new Progressive future. That, though, is not how Biden rolls. Instead, he's either played the blame game, hidden at Camp David or in Delaware, attacked Republican governors, dismissed as bagatelles the horrors in Afghanistan, and generally been weirdly disconnected. I've already commented on Biden's dreadful statement on Monday [8/16/2021], during which he created a straw man by contending that the main issue was whether withdrawing from Afghanistan was the right thing to do. Of course, because few disagree with the decision to withdraw, the real issue was and is the utterly appalling mess the administration, whether in the White House, the Pentagon, or the State Department, made of the withdrawal. However, Biden having presented his straw man knew where the fault lay: With Trump. It was Trump's fault that Biden, who has systematically reversed everything Trump did, was forced to fall in with Trump's planned withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Follow the money: Did Biden admin know collapse was imminent? Congressional committees will soon start delving into the most catastrophic American foreign-policy action since Saigon. Perhaps they should take one lesson from Watergate — follow the money. To set this up, let's start with a Washington Post report from late yesterday on the Biden administration's belated attempt to keep the Taliban from accessing Afghanistan's assets in the international banking system: [...] The US might have to use those assets to ransom Americans trapped in Kabul, too. You can bet that the Taliban will seize some just to underscore that point, once they get around to checking their bank accounts. However, don't be fooled by the seemingly reactive step described in the Post. Stars & Stripes reported on the Taliban's violent suppression of protest in Jalalabad earlier, but they also included a curious development on the monetary front. The US didn't add to those accounts as scheduled, and the head of Afghanistan's central bank has some suspicion as to why: [...]

Biden administration freezes billions of dollars in Afghan reserves, depriving Taliban of cash. The Biden administration on Sunday froze Afghan government reserves held in U.S. bank accounts, blocking the Taliban from accessing billions of dollars held in U.S. institutions, according to two people familiar with the matter. The decision was made by Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen and officials in the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the people said. The State Department was also involved in discussions over the weekend, with officials in the White House monitoring the developments. An administration official said in a statement, "Any Central Bank assets the Afghan government have in the United States will not be made available to the Taliban." The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss government policy not yet made public. Cutting off access to U.S.-based reserves represents among the first in what are expected to be several crucial decisions facing the Biden administration about the economic fate of that nation following the Taliban takeover.

Taliban violently disperse rare protest; one killed, six wounded. [Scroll down] In a sign of the monetary difficulties any future Afghan government will face, the head of Afghanistan's Central Bank said the country's supply of physical U.S. dollars is "close to zero." Afghanistan has some $9 billion in reserves, Ajmal Ahmady tweeted, but most is held outside the country, with some $7 billion held in U.S. Federal Reserve bonds, assets and gold. Ahmady said the country did not receive a planned cash shipment amid the Taliban offensive. "The next shipment never arrived," he wrote. "Seems like our partners had good intelligence as to what was going to happen."

The Mess is on Your Watch, Joey Boy. Hey, Joey, it doesn't matter whose fault it is. If things go wrong on your watch, then you are the guy that gets the blame. In other words, when illegal immigrants storm the border on Joey's watch, it's Joey's fault. When inflation bursts out on Joey's watch, it's Joey's fault. When Saigon 2.0 happens in Afghanistan on Joey's watch, it's Joey's fault. That's how the world works. When something goes wrong on your watch, it's your fault. [...] Are you really sure that you guys were that smart when you absolutely did not steal the election last November? Imagine the fun you would be having right now with the border, with inflation, with Afghanistan if Trump were president!

Anybody notice how cold and heartless Biden was in his Afghanistan speech? Joe Biden and his media acolytes call him Mr. Empathy and Mr. Compassion. His Afghanistan speech yesterday told a different story, and should end that phony spin forever. My takeaway was how cold, and hard, and compassionless Biden was as he sought to extricate himself from the catastrophe of his own making. He blamed everyone but himself for his failure, starting with the Afghan army. He smarmily assured terrified Afghanis left behind he'd now speak out for their human rights instead of actually protect them. He effectively told U.S. servicemembers their service was for nothing. It was appalling. Biden came off as a man without a soul.

The embarrassment that is Joe Biden. Although the White House had intended to keep Biden under wraps for as long as possible, the demand that he say something — anything — about the unfolding debacle in Afghanistan forced him to leave Camp David for a 20-minute statement, after which he refused to take any questions. The important part of what he said boils down to one sentence: We had to leave and everything that went wrong was Trump's or the Afghans' fault. Biden is a craven coward, a feckless fool, a dismal dummy, and a man who will soon have more blood on his hands than a thousand Lady Macbeths. [...] What people wanted to hear was what Biden had to say about the abrupt American pullout from Afghanistan, one seemingly made without any forethought about the needs of the American civilians there or the Afghan troops who, although they fought bravely, needed to feel Americans were at their back. Instead, we just left. And that's where Biden showed what a disgusting little weasel he is.

Fools, meet the evil you elected. We tried before the election, to get you to see Biden for what he is. Evil, arrogant, self-centered, and bereft of any qualities of statesmanship or even good judgment. You didn't listen. You believed the media stories; that the laptop was fake; that he was in his bunker, rather than campaigning, because of the evil virus; and that he wanted to heal the country and knew how to do it. Guess you've graphically gotten your comeuppance now. Argue all you want that Trump wanted out of Afghanistan. That is true, but would he have left like this? Nope! He would have left from a position of strength that he could amply back up with action at the first hint of trouble. He would have gotten our equipment, our manpower, and our allies and interpreters to safety if there was a need to.

Biden's Cognitive Decline Is Dangerous. Biden's cognitive decline isn't merely a manifestation of his well-documented gift for gaffes. It was noticeable during the 2020 presidential election, but his basement strategy enabled him to escape the kind of scrutiny most presidential candidates receive. Since his inauguration, however, it has become all too clear that he has become increasingly impaired. Consequently, 14 GOP members of Congress sent him a joint letter requesting that he take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA). This is the very same test that former President Trump took in 2018 — and easily passed — after the Democrats and the media accused him of senility. The letter from the congressmen explains why Biden must acquiesce: ["]The American people deserve to have absolute confidence in their President. They deserve to know that he or she can perform the duties demanded of the office. They deserve to have full transparency on the mental state of their highest elected leader. To achieve this, we urge you to submit to a cognitive test immediately. We implore you to then publish the test results, so the American people know the full mental and intellectual health of their President.["] President Biden has not agreed to take the MOCA test, of course.

The real fraud of 2020. We saw a lot of disappointment from the media about what just happened in Afghanistan, as reported by Joe Cunningham: ["]If for one brief moment, it appears that the love affair between the Biden Administration and most of our legacy media is on the rocks. [... "] Where were these reporters during the campaign? What about the optics of a candidate who stayed in the basement and did not do press conferences? I guess that those optics were O.K. because the objective was to defeat Trump. Yes, there was fraud in 2020. It was the media protecting a candidate from rigorous questions or questions period. They all knew that Biden could not put in a full day on the job but that was overlooked to get Trump. [...] Yes, we are stuck with a diminished president and everyone in the media knew it in 2020. That's the real fraud of 2020.

Joe Biden's Disappearing Act Is Not New. It's How He Became President. It was a running gag throughout his candidacy for president. At 9 or 10 a.m. the Biden campaign would call a "lid" on the Democratic nominee. The once inside baseball term indicating there would be no appearances from the candidate that day came into the public parlance. Another day in the basement, we all laughed. Well, that joke isn't funny anymore. Last week as the Taliban stormed across the Afghanistan abandoned by Biden, he once again went into hiding. Somewhere amongst the looming trees and homey wood paneling of Camp David, he sat, most likely mulling over how his experts could have misled him so badly. The Americans he serves saw but a single image of their president, alone in a briefing room, staring at a Zoom call with those experts. Finally Monday, amid growing pressure he emerged, to throw his predecessors, including Barack Obama, under the bus and pretend everything was going according to his plans. Except, he has no plans. He is barely even a president.

The Editor says...
Yeah, he is barely even a president — unless the election was overwhelmingly fraudulent, in which case he isn't the president at all.

The very center of all US problems is the rejection of Christianity. Christianity has always been hand in hand with the greatest empires. The abandonment of Christianity has always led to the collapse of any nation or people or family or person who abandons it. This is an axiom. [...] Christianity itself is the most difficult way of life to live. Any other religion is far, far easier, because they don't require of the faithful what Christ does: everything. Many people use "Christianity" as a brand to justify their own existence and behavior. Look at Imposter Joe, for example. He claims to be a "devout Roman Catholic", yet he supports gay marriage, abortion anytime anywhere, and acts like a pedophile at times. He is false. He probably doesn't think he is false, and many who prefer him because of political (not religious) reasons will participate in perpetuating the delusion. But "by [his] fruits", we see he is no follower of Christ, he is instead, a hijacker of Christ, using the Lord's good name to get ahead politically among seculars.

Fleeing Afghanistan. [Scroll down] Biden announced a date-certain withdrawal without any conditions, the same error Obama made when he skedaddled from Iraq in 2011. Worse, Biden abandoned our military bases and withdrew the in-country air support that gave the government in Kabul a fighting chance against the Taliban. Pocketing these gifts, the Taliban started their march through the country two weeks later, and since then have been rolling up region after region and city after city. According to the Pentagon, they could be in Kabul in a month. (In fact, on Sunday Taliban fighters were seen in Kabul, Afghan president Ashraf Ghani fled the country, and the Afghan National Reconciliation Council was left to negotiate the transfer of power to the Taliban.) Biden's response is to send back 3000 troops to evacuate the embassy and Afghan employees, and protect the retreat from Kabul.

Biden blames Afghans for his desertion of them. Images and facts on the ground speak louder than words, and certainly louder than the utterances of someone like Joe Biden. If Biden thinks he can talk his way out of responsibility for this debacle, he's likely to be disappointed.

Chinese state media: Once war breaks out with Taiwan, the US will abandon it. One of my first reactions to the fall of Kabul over the weekend was concern about what this would communicate to our other allies and enemies. It's hard to look at our abandonment of allies in Afghanistan and not conclude this is bad news for a place like Taiwan which is dependent on the US for its continued freedom. As you're probably aware, China's Xi Jinping has recently vowed to reunify Taiwan by any means necessary. "Solving the Taiwan question and realising the complete reunification of the motherland are the unswerving historical tasks of the Chinese Communist Party and the common aspiration of all Chinese people," Xi said.

Tucker Carlson Proclaims We Are Led by 'Buffoons' in Blistering Takedown of Our Political Establishment. [Video clip] Carlson opens his critique with a clip of the now-iconic scene at Kabul airport, where a C-17 plows through a crowded runway as people cling to it for their lives (some falling to their deaths). Putting aside the failures of the last 20 years, the final moments of the war in Afghanistan ended with our stalwart experts in political and military leadership not even being able to clear a single runway to conduct an orderly retreat. And that Carlson's main point — we are led by buffoons. John Kirby and Mark Milley take the first round in the woodshed as Carlson notes the absolute idiocy of what our military has been focusing on over the last decade or so. We have generals more worried about "white rage" and people who don't want to wear masks than jihadis. But the real highlight is the takedown of Jake Sullivan. Carlson quips that Sullivan "is 44-years-old, and as far as we can tell, he's never actually had a real job." Rather, Sullivan is part of a disturbing trend in Washington whereby know-nothings with fancy degrees are placed in high positions of power. We saw it with Ben Rhodes under Barack Obama, who was perhaps the most disastrous national security adviser in modern history.

Joe Biden Should Step Down Over Afghanistan. There appears to have been no plan to evacuate American citizens from Afghanistan. Those civilians are being told "you're on your own" in getting to the airport. It is infuriating coming from the administration that came in saying the last President did not do his job in protecting Americans from a virus. We abandoned the Afghanistan military, left weapons of war in the hands of the Taliban. We have done little to ensure the safety and well-being of the people there, American or not. We did not communicate and are not communicating with our allies. The entire plan seems to have been "We'll be out before the 20th anniversary of September 11, 2001." Biden gave a speech to Americans where he claimed the buck stops with him and then proceeded to blame everyone from Donald Trump to the Afghan military for the disastrous pull-out. There was no buck stopping with him.

Number of Americans Trapped in Afghanistan May Be Even Worse Than the Biden Team Is Telling Us. As we reported earlier, the Biden team is saying that there may be up to 10,000 Americans who still need to be rescued from Afghanistan. I wrote previously about how they were begging people like Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) for help because our government wasn't responding and had just told them to shelter in place and fill out a form. But it may be even worse than that, according to Bush Assistant Secretary of State Robert Charles. According to Charles, he said there was a tally and it was between 15,000 and 40,000 people still waiting to be told when they'll be saved.

Intel Agencies Warned of Afghan Collapse as Biden Publicly Downplayed Possibility. U.S. intelligence agencies warned of the collapse of the Afghan military and government at the hands of a resurgent Taliban over the summer, as President Biden publicly downplayed the possibility of a government rout. While Biden assured Americans on July 8 that the Afghan regime's disintegration was far from inevitable, quieting fears of a "Saigon-like" foreign policy fiasco, previous intelligence reports indicated that Afghan security forces as well as the seat of government in Kabul were weakening and could falter, current and former American government officials told the New York Times. A specific July report affirmed the increasingly vulnerable position of the capital to attack as the Taliban advanced across the country, capturing a chain of major provincial cities and towns, a person familiar with the intelligence informed the Times.

The Biden Illusion Crumbles to Dust. From 11:15 a.m., Thursday, August 12, to a little past 4 p.m., Monday, August 16, President Joe Biden did not appear in public. [...] When the president did finally speak, he read from a teleprompter for 20 minutes, took no questions, and barely acknowledged that he had assured Americans, at the beginning of July, that no part of this disaster would unfold this way. The lone admission was a vague, passive-voice, "this did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated," a strong nominee for the Disingenuous Public Relations Spin Hall of Fame. [...] Biden announced to the world that he finds everything that we're witnessing preferable to fighting the Taliban. A little more than a month after Biden assured Americans that, "The likelihood there's going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely," the president had the audacity to claim that, "We were clear-eyed about the risks."

The Afghanistan Failure Proves America's Regime Isn't Fit To Lead. For nearly 20 years, American men and women have gone to Afghanistan and performed heroically. But they were asked by our leaders to do an impossible task: to turn a mountain backwater into a thriving democracy. We lost our best and brightest in those mountains — men and women who would have started families, built businesses, and sustained communities. My heart breaks that these dead may have died in vain. But they won't if we learn the long-term lesson of Afghanistan: the people who lead this country aren't fit for the task. In this moment, it is tempting to focus on the short term. Undoubtedly, the Biden administration has failed miserably in the short term. They telegraphed and delayed our departure date, maximizing the Taliban's planning abilities, and they abandoned Afghanistan at the peak of Taliban fighting season. They allowed critical weapons technology to fall into the hands of the enemy. Perhaps most inexplicably, they abandoned the most important airbase before they ensured safe passage for Americans leaving the country.

Afghanistan and the Cost of Having a 'Normal' President. Consider this a letter of congratulations. I address it to Democrats everywhere who told us that Joe Biden would return the United States to a state of normality. I address it also to those, many putative Republicans as well as Democrats, who fought tooth-and-nail against Donald Trump because — well, because he was not a "normal" politician. Donald Trump issued mean tweets. He made fun of the media, often singling out reporters by name. He was bombastic (more bombastic than President Joe Biden?). He lied (again, did he lie more often than Biden?). No thoughtful person believed there was anything to the fabricated gossip about Russian collusion in determining the 2016 election — which does not, of course, mean that that tissue of grotesque lies was not believed and assiduously circulated by many Big Names in the media. Nor did it insulate Trump from being compared to virtually every tyrant in history ("literally Hitler," remember?). There is now a lot of hand-wringing about the performance of Joe Biden.

'The buck stops with me,' says Biden but then proceeds to blame Afghan fiasco on Trump and locaIs who failed to fight the Taliban — before ducking questions and fleeing for Camp David. President Joe Biden delivered a speech of quiet fury at the White House on Monday [8/16/2021], defending his decision to bring home U.S. troops before blaming Afghan leaders for their failure to prevent the country collapsing. 'I stand squarely behind my decision,' Biden said. 'After 20 years I've learned the hard way. That there was never a good time to withdraw U.S. forces. That's why we're still there.' Later Monday night, Biden authorized up to $500 million from an emergency fund to meet 'unexpected urgent' refugee needs stemming from the situation in Afghanistan, including for Afghan special immigration visa applicants, the White House said.

Biden Refuses to Take Questions From Reporters After Blaming Trump For His Afghanistan Disaster. Joe Biden on Monday [8/16/2021] delivered a short speech on his Afghanistan disaster. After mumbling through prepared remarks, blaming Trump and the Afghan security forces on his botched withdrawal, Biden fled the lectern without taking any questions from reporters. Biden delivered the worst speech ever, said he stands by his decision to hastily withdraw from Afghanistan and admitted it 'unfolded more quickly that he anticipated.' After blaming everyone under the sun, Biden quickly took off as reporters shouted questions.

Biden could have stopped the Taliban. He chose not to. The Taliban is sweeping across Afghanistan seizing more than a dozen provincial capitals in the past week, and is poised to seize more. Afghan defense forces, finding themselves mostly cut off from U.S. air support, haven't been able to stop them, and the Afghan government may not survive for much longer. The United States has all but abandoned the country. A disastrous Taliban takeover wasn't inevitable. President Biden said his hands were tied to a withdrawal given the awful peace deal negotiated between the Trump administration and the Taliban. But there was still a way to pull out American troops while giving our Afghan partners a better chance to hold the gains we made with them over the last two decades. Mr. Biden chose otherwise. The way he announced the drawdown and eventual departure of American troops — at the start of the fighting season, on a rapid timeline and sans adequate coordination with the Afghan government — has in part gotten us into the current situation.

Leadership? Biden Goes Back to His Vacation After Addressing Afghanistan Crisis. Joe Biden was widely criticized for going on vacation last week as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban. After someone at the White House apparently figured out that the optics of this vacation were awful, it was announced that Biden would return to the White House to address the situation. While it seemed like Biden was sacrificing his vacation by cutting it short, after his ten-minute speech, in which he blamed everyone but himself for the situation before saying "the buck stops with me," he went right back to Camp David to get back to his rest and relaxation time.

The Worst Part? The Democrats Can't Use the 25th Amendment. Kamala Harris is currently the tie-breaking vote in the Senate, and Republicans are only crossing over if Mitch McConnell supports a bill or if he realizes the Republicans will lose the fight anyway. He has a very tight grip on his caucus, and he can get his 50 votes whipped if he wants to make a stand. So far, he hasn't had to. But there is a lot of power to be had in a 50-50 Senate with no tie-breaking vote, and he will take advantage of it. So, Kamala Harris becoming the President via the 25th Amendment means the Democrats lose their tie-breaking vote in the Senate, and without a 51st vote, there is no way for the Democrats to break a tie in the Senate in order to confirm a replacement Vice President. They are effectively stuck.

Biden's Failure on Afghanistan Has Been So Bad That Even a Friendly Press Corps Has Bailed on Him. The U.S. efforts in Afghanistan have been undone so quickly after Washington spent trillions of dollars there over almost 20 years after 9/11. Whatever you may think of the war and whether the United States should have withdrawn, there is no way to spin the consequences of what has transpired in Afghanistan. It's so bad that even the friendly mainstream media has bailed on Biden to report this doom and gloom. The MSM has rightly criticized the administration from how it conducted the withdrawal to it abandoning the Afghan translators and others that helped U.S. forces. The MSM has also covered the part about the administration leaving behind the women who will again live under repressive Taliban rule. The optics of the immoral abandonment cannot be ignored.

With 10,000 Americans Still in Afghanistan, Biden's Nightmare Is Far From Over. Joe Biden will be haunted by those images of U.S. helicopters beating a hasty retreat from Afghanistan. But his Afghanistan nightmare is only beginning. There are between 5,000 and 10,000 Americans still stuck in Kabul, according to the Pentagon. And the military apparently has no plan to evacuate them. The possibility, indeed, the probability, that the Taliban or one of its rogue offshoots will start snatching Americans has always been there. The reason is that the Americans will be huge bargaining chips — not just with the U.S. but with whatever government emerges in Afghanistan. Hostage takers will be able to barter for power in the chaos following the collapse of civil authority in Kabul — just like the Iranians did in the aftermath of the fall of the Shah.

Fmr CIA Analyst Zeller: Biden Lied, No Plan to Stop Allies Being Slaughtered by 'Nazi' Taliban. Former CIA analyst Matt Zeller told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace Monday on her show "Deadline" that President Joe Biden lied to the American people during his address on the chaotic evacuation of Afghans that worked with our military over the last 20 years. On Biden's speech, Zeller said, "I feel like I watched a different speech than the rest of you guys. I was appalled. There was such a profound bald-faced lie in that speech, the idea we planned for every contingency? I have been personally trying to tell this administration since it took office. I have been trying to tell our government for years this was coming. We sent them plan after plan on how to evacuate these people. Nobody listened to us. They didn't plan for the evacuation of our Afghan war-time allies. They're trying to conduct it now at the 11th hour."

Trump Issues Blunt Response to Joe Biden's Afghanistan Speech. Former President Donald Trump issued a short statement after President Joe Biden delivered maybe one of the worst speeches in US history where he blamed Trump for his own disastrous withdraw from Afghanistan while defending his decision to go through with the United States' abrupt removal from the region. Trump made sure to punch back in a statement: "It's not that we left Afghanistan. It's the grossly incompetent way we left!"

Ex-CIA chief Panetta: Afghan debacle is Bay of Pigs moment for Biden. Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta compared the reconquest of Afghanistan by the Taliban to the abortive CIA-backed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba from the early 1960s Monday, adding that the collapse of the Western-backed government in Kabul had harmed America's credibility. "This is a situation that deteriorated rapidly, beyond anyone's imagination," Panetta, a former CIA director under Barack Obama and a former White House chief of staff to Bill Clinton, told CNN. "No one expected what happened. No one expected the Taliban to move as quickly as they did. They obviously had a strategy to do this ... and we were not aware of just how rapidly that would happen."

Taliban leader was freed from Guantanamo Bay in 2014 swap by Obama. When President Barack Obama released five Taliban commanders from the Guantanamo Bay prison in exchange for an American deserter in 2014, he assured a wary public that the dangerous enemy combatants would be transferred to Qatar and kept from causing any trouble in Afghanistan. In fact, they were left free to engineer Sunday's sacking of Kabul. Soon after gaining their freedom, some of the notorious Taliban Five pledged to return to fight Americans in Afghanistan and made contacts with active Taliban militants there. But the Obama-Biden administration turned a blind eye to the disturbing intelligence reports, and it wasn't long before the freed detainees used Qatar as a base to form a regime in exile. Eventually, they were recognized by Western diplomats as official representatives of the Taliban during recent "peace" talks.

Worse Than Saigon. While President Joe Biden cowers at Camp David, the Taliban are humiliating America. The retreat from Afghanistan is our worst foreign-policy disaster in a generation. As the Taliban marches into Kabul, they're murdering civilians, reimposing their vicious Islamist law, and preparing to turn Afghanistan back into a bandit regime. The U.S. embassy has told Americans to shelter in place. Refugees are fleeing to the airport, begging to escape the coming bloodbath. None of this had to happen.

Biden's Deflection Won't Work. Joe Biden's speech today [8/16/2021] was a disgrace. He read briefly from a teleprompter, and took neither questions nor responsibility. It is reasonable to infer that his mental condition is such that he is not able to answer questions, or else his actions have been so indefensible that there is no answer to the questions that might be asked. [Video clip]

Biden's appalling speech on Afghanistan merits a 25th Amendment discussion. After nearly a week of radio silence while the Taliban were undoing 20 years of American investment in Afghanistan, Joe Biden returned to the White House to read from a teleprompter for under 20 minutes. Given the predictable straw man he presented of an all-or-nothing binary choice between "forever war" and immediate abandonment, it was par for the course to see Biden try to blame his predecessor. Biden's tactless defense consisted of impugning Afghans. It was followed by his hasty departure without taking a single question from a group of reporters he hand-picked under the guise of "social distancing." (Washington, D.C.'s total COVID-19 death toll this month: one.) This leaves only the ghastly conclusion Biden has no idea what [...] happened in the last week. Biden will return to Camp David to vacation while Kabul burns. This ought to leave the Cabinet — especially Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who reportedly begged Biden not to initiate such a hasty and disorderly withdrawal — wondering whether the president is willfully derelict in his duty, choosing to summer instead of govern, or simply incapable of handling his office.

Hiding from Afghanistan questions is the Biden playbook. President Joe Biden has disappeared as his withdrawal from Afghanistan has resulted in the Taliban taking the country in a matter of days. This isn't a surprise: Biden did his best to avoid real questions throughout the campaign because he has no answers. Biden's vanishing act during the campaign was designed not just to keep the narrative focus on former President Donald Trump but to keep Biden from answering tough questions about his own policies and track record. It was most notable when he took the entire day off after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg so he could avoid answering questions about packing the Supreme Court and about what kind of left-wing judges Biden himself would nominate as president.

Nobody home: As Afghanistan collapses, Joe Biden goes on vacation. Joe Biden's team at the White House spends a lot of time obsessing about 'optics.' They insist there will be no Saigon-style evacuation in Afghanistan as Americans bail out. Last July 8, Joe assured us there was no chance of Taliban takeover. It's always about the optics, not the facts on the ground. So what is one to make of Joe Biden heading off for a five-day vacation? A major U.S. military commitment in Afghanistan is collapsing before the entire world's eyes. And the White House? Nobody's home at the White House. Joe's got other things to do. The White House says Biden is off to play with his grandchildren. He'll catch up when he gets back. Which is atrocious optics, and much, much more. His entire presidency so far has been a failure of leadership and planning.

We're Fleeing Afghanistan. Now What? The withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan began with President Trump, who said Americans were tired of an war with no end in sight. He was correct. Americans were tired of seeing our brave young soldiers coming home with their arms, legs, and faces blown off or not coming home at all. What was it for? What was the purpose? [...] Biden's spokesperson Jen Psaki warned the Afghans that if they continue their attacks on the Afghan government, they will risk isolation from the international community. Does anybody in his right mind think that these people care about that? Nothing could be more naïve. What we are seeing is a possibly historic victory for Islamic jihad, the radical Islamic conquest of a people.

Keywords: AWOL, abdication, derelict in his duty, negligent, out to lunch, rudderless.
Last Major City in Northern Afghanistan Falls to Taliban While Joe Biden Vacations at Camp David. As part of "Biden's Worst Week as President Yet," the president left Washington, D.C. on Thursday for Delaware, and then headed to Camp David. [...] President Biden will be at Camp David until Wednesday, Aug. 18. No public events will be scheduled.

Biden administration turns into a dumpster fire of blame-evasion. Sheer cowardice has always been a Biden hallmark, so it might at first glance seem to be why Joe Biden is now in hiding as Afghanistan's collapse, the biggest foreign policy failure since Vietnam, engulfs the news. But evidence is mounting that something different is going on: the Biden team is splintering into some kind of internal warfare and trying to conceal its disarray. Victory, after all, has a thousand fathers, as JFK used to say, and defeat is an orphan. The Bidenites aren't stupid enough to believe their own propaganda about the Afghan horror being a news-cycle nothingburger, something that can be gone and forgotten if they can stay away from the cameras for a few days. They know that this is a defeat of epic proportions. So we are indeed seeing signs of an administration in disarray.

Weakness. The Taliban have taken measure of Mr. Biden (and Mrs. Harris) and surely know and accept that there will be short-term conflict with the United States as they resurrect the Afghan Caliphate and return their country to the seventh century. But they also know there is no one in American leadership willing to fight to protect what remains of America's interests. Mr. Biden will not. Mrs. Harris even less so. The Chinese Communists must be watching our rapidly unfolding humiliation in Afghanistan and wondering whether now is the time to "re-assimilate" the rogue province of Taiwan into the greater People's Republic. Like the Taliban, the Chinese leaders see that Mr. Biden, our Commander in Chief, has created an unsalvageable situation and is struggling to respond to events instead of shaping them. On the heels of such a public and abject failure of leadership, will Mr. Biden order the Seventh Fleet to steam into the Taiwan Strait and meet the Chinese if they launch an invasion? It is hard to believe on his track record that he will.

Biden Photo at Camp David Raises Red Flags as Questions Swirl About President's Whereabouts. As Afghanistan crumbled on Sunday, the American people had one question on their minds: 'Where is the president?' Joe Biden had taken off on vacation days ago to his Camp David "retreat" (as CNN called it) and was nowhere to be found. Kabul fell and the presidential palace was overrun. Afghanis were executed in the streets. Interpreters sought desperately to flee from Kabul International Airport. The Taliban declared the two-decades-long war "over." But the word came on Sunday afternoon that Biden would not be giving an address to the American people. A single photo was tweeted from the White House account with a picture of Biden being "briefed." [Tweet] [...] Also, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki suddenly announced on Sunday night that she would be taking the entire week off. No one knows quite for certain what is going on in Afghanistan, or in the White House, for that matter. But as a near 20-year war comes to a disastrous close, the Biden White House is in full retreat, and no one is brave enough to give Americans any direct answers.

Yes, Joe, it's like Saigon. Joe Biden made a big deal about his rigid, hasty, ill-planned, badly executed Afghan pullout not being another Saigon, a reference to the disgraceful final pullout of the U.S. presence in Vietnam in 1975. [Tweets] Those are people so terrified of what will happen to them under the Taliban they can't think straight. They're desperate to get out. They have no place to go. They know the Taliban will rule forever and they will be as powerless as Cubans to stop it. There's no safe haven even in Kabul anymore, they know that the Taliban is going rule with an iron hand erasing all freedoms, all means of getting them out of power, and will torture, rob, maim, and kill them. The Taliban never keep their word on anything, ever, and these people know it. There's also this: Fear. In the city, outside the airport, no one wants to come out. They are terrified. The State Department urged Americans who were still in the city to "shelter in place" and not come to the airport. The Afghanis who live in Kabul didn't need to be told.

"The most infamous and devastating press conference ever held by an American President.". [Tweet]

This is Joe Biden's Jimmy Carter moment. President Biden's profligate spending policies are unleashing inflation that is sparking voter distrust so noticeable that even NPR is sounding the alarm. He is begging OPEC to come up with more oil while interfering with US production. [...] Our president comes across as weak, meek, ineffectual, incompetent and confused. (Momentarily confusing South and North Vietnam doesn't even make the list of the top 100 senior moments we've seen this year from this near-octogenarian, despite the fact that his staff is keeping him hidden to a degree with little if any precedent in the past half-century.) Biden is embarrassing the United States in real time, and I await with eagerness the Biden version of the blame-shifting Malaise Speech. Biden's version, of course, will be the This Is All Trump's Fault speech.

The American president isn't present, and that's a problem. Scathing criticisms of Joe Biden's disastrous cut-and-run in Afghanistan have been issued by even his media cheerleaders at CNN, NPR and the New York Times. Career diplomats including former Obama officials have publicly excoriated his administration for incompetence. Foreign leaders are baffled. Only the Taliban is happy. [...] Biden assured us just a month ago that this wouldn't happen. He said the Afghan soldiers far outnumbered the Taliban, and there would be no "Saigon" moment where American embassy staff are helicoptered from the roof of the embassy as the barbarians bang down the gate. But here we are, only a month later, and that's roughly what is happening. It's in part because Biden discontinued nearly all the air support that was key to the Afghan government's military. The Taliban now own the entire country, and are threatening even the chaotic Kabul airport where Afghans are clinging to the outside of airplanes trying to take off. Hundreds or perhaps thousands of Americans may be trapped.

White House picture of Biden on Afghanistan video conference might have revealed CIA operatives. A tweet Sunday [8/15/2021] by the White House showing pictures of President Biden hosting a video conference with other top U.S. officials about the Afghanistan crisis might have revealed the identities of CIA operatives, according to a former U.S. diplomat and other social media posters. "This morning, the President and Vice President met with their national security team and senior officials to hear updates on the draw down of our civilian personnel in Afghanistan, evacuations of SIV applicants and other Afghan allies, and the ongoing security situation in Kabul," reads the tweet, which included a picture of Biden looking at a video screen with eight panels — including one labeled "CIA" and another labeled "Doha Station," in Qatar.

Joe Biden's defeat will echo for eternity. Look at everything else he has messed up. His first act in office was to dismantle hard-won Trump-era border protection measures. The inevitable illegal migrant surge at the southern border has turned into an unchecked invasion, with national security and public health risks that will ricochet through history. At this stage, we can confidently say that Joe Biden has the reverse Midas touch. In Afghanistan, it didn't have to be like this. The humiliating scenes of Americans evacuating from Kabul's airport were avoidable, as is the specter of American helicopters, planes, Humvees, weapons and ammunition in the hands of our enemies.

Report: Biden Refused to Listen to Top Generals' Warnings, Pulled Out of Afghanistan Anyway. President Joe Biden is quickly proving that he is not only a threat to the safety of Americans, but he is also a threat to people throughout the world. According to a bombshell report, Biden refused to listen to the advice of his top military officials and decided to move ahead with the disastrous US pullout in Afghanistan. Biden allegedly overruled his generals who advised that he should keep 2,500 servicemen on the ground in Afghanistan to help with negotiations between Afghanistan and the Taliban. Instead, Biden decided to conduct a complete withdraw which led to a quick Taliban takeover who now control many US assets including weaponry, helicopters and other vehicles.

The Shame of Joe Biden. Joe Biden announced his decision to withdraw all military forces from Afghanistan, while explicitly deriding the idea that the Taliban would quickly take over the country. He was wrong. Now he has been reduced to pleading with the Taliban to be nice, lest they forfeit their entitlement to foreign aid. We have to go back at least to the Carter administration to find such pathetic behavior by a president. Having grossly miscalculated the situation in Afghanistan, Biden is now scrambling to return forces to that country, equivalent to those he just withdrew. His only goal at this point is to get American citizens out before we see pictures of helicopters taking off from the roof of the embassy in Kabul as friendly Afghans cling to their runners.

Joe Biden isn't the next FDR, he's the next Jimmy Carter. [I]t is clear Biden is just like Jimmy Carter, but worse. The steady creep of inflation during Biden's first several months in office has already reminded many of the Carter years. But the disaster in Afghanistan, the rushed, chaotic withdrawal and the Taliban's subsequent takeover, has solidified the similarity between the two administrations. During Carter's administration, tensions in Iran were beginning to boil over. For a while, Carter remained committed to the U.S.'s longtime ally, the shah of Iran, but eventually tossed him aside and denied him asylum after it became clear Islamic revolutionaries were fueling anti-American sentiment in the region. Carter later relented under political pressure and allowed the shah to come to the U.S. to receive medical treatment, but he failed to make sure American officials in Iran were protected in case there was retaliation. As a result, the Islamists were able to hold 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. And to this day, we still face the threat of a radicalized Iran.

Biden Team Goes AWOL in the Middle of Afghanistan Disaster. While the disaster is unfolding in Afghanistan, Joe Biden is off on vacation at Camp David. As we reported yesterday, his handlers said that he may deign to talk to us within in the next "few days." If they can get him into a coherent position to respond to everything that has happened. The only thing they did was release a picture of him allegedly meeting with his national security team. But they forgot to obscure the CIA operatives on the screen.

Networks Abandon 'Completely Wrong' Biden's 'Saigon on Steroids'. The shocking fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban is such a failure that even the liberal networks on Monday [8/16/2021] have abandoned Joe Biden's decision making (at least for now), hammering the President as "completely wrong" and executing a Vietnam-esque Saigon "debacle." On NBC's Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie opened the show by blasting, "A catastrophe for its people and a debacle for the Biden administration. A triumphant Taliban storming the presidential palace in Kabul, seizing total control of the country." Guthrie piled on: "And the President at Camp David standing by his decision but under fire for a botched withdrawal." All three networks eagerly and repeatedly compared Biden's disaster to the fall of Vietnam. NBC chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel linked, "The Taliban had been taking potshots at the U.S. transport planes as they leave and many are drawing comparisons to the U.S. evacuation from Saigon."

President Trump Calls On Biden To Resign. Moments ago, President Trump called on Joe Biden to resign from office after yet another monumental failure, this time on the foreign policy front. As the crisis has continued to worsen in Afghanistan, Biden has been largely silent, mainly issuing boilerplate Twitter responses and casually telling the country he'll update us on the situation "in a couple of days". In response, President Trump issued the following blistering statement: "It is time for Joe Biden to resign in disgrace for what he has allowed to happen in Afghanistan, along with the tremendous surge in COVID, the border catastrophe, the destruction of energy independence, and our crippled economy. It shouldn't be a big deal, because he wasn't elected legitimately in the first place!", Trump said.

Joe Biden Remains Hiding at Camp David After Afghanistan Collapses. President Joe Biden will remain hidden at his presidential retreat at Camp David through Monday [8/16/2021], according to the White House, as the Taliban swiftly seized control of Afghanistan. The president's daily guidance for Monday indicated Biden would remain at Camp David for at least one more day, with no public events scheduled.

Afghanistan Didn't Have to End This Way, but We Made Sure It Did. This is a war that we won and then perversely chose to lose. When the battle for Tora Bora ended in December 2001, we had achieved 100% of the objectives that President Bush laid out in his October 7, 2001, speech to the nation. [...] There was no reason to get involved in Afghanistan. The "tell" was that no one could ever tell you what a win in Afghanistan looked like. It had no national identity, no common language, [very] few natural resources, a medieval, at best, road and power grid, no national economy, no history of civil society. It was landlocked, isolated, and impoverished. It seemed to be pretty damned happy with the status quo, if you talked to anyone but Afghan émigrés on the DC cocktail circuit. The correct solution, the school solution, if you will, would have been to withdraw US military forces less some Special Forces advisers, provide technical assistance to the forces trying to establish a new government, and underscore the warning to the new government that if terrorists again use Afghanistan as a refuge, we will be back to kill people and break things. That isn't what happened.

Our Secretary of State does his best Baghdad Bob imitation. Back in 2003, one of the most amusing things to watch on the news was Baghdad Bob (real name: Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf). He was the press spokesman for Saddam Hussein's administration during the 2003 Iraq invasion. Even as American tanks were rolling into Baghdad behind him, al-Sahhaf was earnestly insisting that the Americans were on the verge of defeat (e.g., committing suicide "by the hundreds") and that Hussein and his troops would be triumphant. Now, in the form of Secretary of State Antony Blinken, we have our own Baghdad Bob. Of course, the entire notion of Baghdad Bob is less funny when Blinken is speaking about mission success even as the Taliban invades Kabul, aided by all the materiels the Americans abandoned; the embassy is evacuated; the airport is a scene of chaos and fear; tens of thousands of refugees are on the move; Afghan troops are being slaughtered; and Afghan girls and women to rape and sex slavery. And no, that's not exaggeration or literary license on my part. Despite the helicopter evacuation of the American embassy, Blinken insisted that what's happening is nothing like America's departure from Saigon in 1975.

Delaware: Where transparency goes to die. The president of the United States is hiding in his basement — again. Which is very peculiar stuff. After all, the White House is nice, with all that security, the beautiful rose garden, the manicured lawn, and the fancy chandeliers. There are strapping Marines who open doors and salute the dwellers. If you have to work from home, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a choice location. So why is the president abandoning the special confines of his Washington, D.C. residence and scampering off to northern Delaware and his compound on Barley Mill Road? That is only the first question. [...] If Joe meets, consults, negotiates or otherwise converses with anyone on behalf of the people of the United States, do we not have a right to know who these people are, and the subject matter or reason for the meeting?

Who Else Is Tired Of All This Winning Under Biden? In early July, President Joe Biden said the sudden withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan wouldn't cause a repeat of the Saigon disaster in Vietnam. "None whatsoever. Zero," Biden said in response to a reporter's question about the chances of a repeat. "There's going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy in the — of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable." Five weeks later, that is exactly what happened, as the Taliban took over Kabul and, as the Washington Post reported it, the "U.S. scrambled to evacuate embassy staff and accelerate the rescue and relocation of Afghans who aided the U.S. military. Helicopters began landing at the U.S. Embassy early Sunday and armored diplomatic vehicles were seen leaving the area around the compound. ... Smoke rose from the embassy's roof as diplomats destroyed documents to keep them from falling into the Taliban's hands."

The Afghanistan Collapse: Americans died for this? We were promised that the US and coalition efforts in Afghanistan would bring peace to a land of war and democracy to a land of terrorists, theocrats, and warlords. And now, after 2,448 American service member deaths and spending over $2 trillion, the Taliban controls Afghanistan and the Acting US Ambassador has fled the $770 million embassy in Kabul (which the Taliban now owns). The Afghan presidential palace is theirs. We were promised by George W. Bush and his administration that the promotion of democracy — even through military force — would "be a watershed event in the global democratic revolution." That the United States, through supporting the "growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture," could end "tyranny in our world." He said that "the advance of freedom will lead to peace," that the multi-generational project in Afghanistan was essential "for the sake of our own security." [...] They all lied.

Report: Biden Ordered Afghanistan Pullout Against Top Generals' Warnings. President Joe Biden reportedly overruled the advice of his top military officials when ordering the United States's pullout from Afghanistan. Biden met with several top military commanders before announcing his intent to withdraw the United States completely from Afghanistan. The generals recommended Biden leave a force of 2,500 servicemen in the country and step up negotiations with the Taliban for a peace deal. The president declined their advice. [...] The Afghanistan government is quickly crumbling. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled the country Sunday morning as Taliban militants entered Kabul, the nation's capital city. The Taliban and what is left of the government are negotiating a transfer of power.

Blame Biden for Afghanistan's Return to the Dark Ages. The Joe Biden who promised to put human rights at the center of his foreign policy is the same Joe Biden now stubbornly paving the way for the world's cruelest human-rights abusers to re-establish their regime in Afghanistan. Biden had promised us that he would restore the soul of America, but words are cheap. As the remaining U.S. troops have left Afghanistan, Afghan provinces have been falling to the Taliban like dominos. Men of the Afghan military are reportedly being executed. Women and young girls are being forced into marriage and sex slavery. And the same Biden administration that prides itself on its concern for social justice, racial justice, gender justice, and LGBT pride is going to stand by and watch girls' schools shut down, ethnic cleansing against Shi'ite Hazaras, and homosexuals stoned to death.

Levin: Biden operating 'the most diabolical presidency and Democratic Party probably since slavery'. President Biden is engineering the "most diabolical presidency and most diabolical Democratic Party, probably since slavery," former Reagan Justice Department chief of staff Mark Levin said Sunday on "Life, Liberty & Levin." Hosting guests Stephen Moore and Stephen Miller, Levin called the sudden "Marxist" lurch of the federal government a "massive de-growth movement dress[ed] up as climate change and the Green New Deal." He added that congressional Democrats with Biden's blessing seek to permanently transform America from a capitalist model to one that is far to the left by ushering in "American Marxism" through massive legislative bills disguised as "infrastructure" and "voting rights." Combined, he said, the Democrats seek to nullify the opposition Republican Party and control all levers of power in a way not seen in over 150 years.

As 'Biden's Saigon' Becomes Reality, Pelosi Heaps Praise on Disastrous US Exit. Joe Biden might just have secured his place as the most incompetent president of the United States in history, but Nancy Pelosi long ago secured her place as the most purposely divisive, partisan political hack to ever wield the Speaker's gavel. The detached-from-reality statement released by the 81-year-old Pelosi on Sunday [8/15/2021] praising Biden's disastrous handling of the embarrassing "Escape from Afghanistan" merely secured her position in the top slot.

Biden Never Saw What Hit Him. Not since the fall of France in May 1940 has so mighty a paper force collapsed so swiftly before a foe. Biden has beaten the record and not in a good way. That's the good news. The bad news is that to this considerable tale of woe is likely to be added as much mischief as America's enemies can contrive. They will pile it on. For no less than the Taliban, America's near-peer adversaries, now have the estimate of the hapless man in the White House. This confirmation of incapacity is possibly a greater loss than the fall of Afghanistan itself. They know too that there is little American institutions can do to fix this problem in the short term. The same partisan politics that sent compromise mediocrities to the White House will keep them there until 2024. The same identity politics the balkanizers counted on to keep them in power will hinder the arrival of help from those they treated with contempt. This combination of spiraling crisis and institutional paralysis means America and its allies are probably entering a period of rising danger which no one, not even America's enemies, can control.

Joe Biden, Commander in Retreat. The depth of Joe Biden's ineptitude is stunning. Nothing he's done in his first seven months has shown a breadth of competency — but his failure with Afghanistan has moved to the top of the list of failures. Biden made promises he couldn't keep. Just hours after "guaranteeing" that Kabul would not be a repeat to Saigon 1975, with helicopters evacuating personnel from the roof our embassy, that is precisely what is happening. Biden issued a paper tiger, "Play nice or I'll get really mad" warning to the Taliban that, no doubt, was met with ridicule and mocking laughter. The Taliban will do as they wish, likely using the equipment we left behind. Biden's stated goal was to be fully out of Afghanistan by the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Why he picked that date is incomprehensible.

Talibanistan. To the surprise of no one except the entire Biden administration, our alleged intelligence agencies, our wokest-ever military, and the mainstream media, Afghanistan has quickly been taken over by the Taliban while remaining Americans and betrayed allies scramble for survival and escape. This is a devastating military disaster which will likely be viewed historically as the event which marked the end of America as a credible world superpower. Not that this was difficult to see coming, especially with Clueless Joe as a figurehead for foreign policy decisions being made by the resurrected (from Hell) Obama administration.

Bumbling Biden Radio Silent to Americans on 'Crisis,' May Have Outed CIA. As everything has been falling apart into chaos in Afghanistan, Joe Biden has been silent on his vacation at Camp David. But there's "breaking" CNN news now. Administration officials told them Biden's going to address the "crisis" in Afghanistan "in the next few days." [Tweet] Is Biden losing his mind, when his people say things like this? Actually one of our frequent readers tells me I have to stop assuming that he has any mind left to lose, that I'm giving him too much credit. People are fleeing for their lives out of the airport; troops have to go back in to get them. But Biden will say something and try to blame President Donald Trump in the "next few days?" That's not living in reality.

At Last U.S. Troops Leave the Afghan War, but Biden Must Screw That up First. Look, very few Americans want Americans to keep fighting in Afghanistan. Twenty years — 19 of them mission creep — is more than enough time to do it, if you can. But there's withdrawing, and then there is fleeing. The American president is fleeing. Like every president, Joe Biden has numerous problems, [...] Many, in fact, are of his own making. Like withdrawing during the peak Afghan fighting season, instead of waiting for winter. [...] The optics are also awful, at home and abroad, and they cement the depressing impression that the Biden Administration is really a weak, apologetic 2.0 version of the Barack Obama Administration.

Biden Proven Wrong Again, as Helicopters Land on US Embassy Roof. We're seeing a tragedy happening in Afghanistan because of Joe Biden's precipitous withdrawal without apparently any real preparation with the Afghan government or understanding the movement of the Taliban. Now that the Taliban are moving into Kabul, we likely will not be able to save thousands of our allies who are now behind enemy lines. Hopefully, we're able to get our own people out in time — even that may be a question now. On Thursday, State Department spokesperson Ned Price talked about having "weeks" to get people out, when it was obvious it was days, if not hours, before the Taliban were at the gates. The fact that the Biden bunch have been so ignorant right down the line about how to deal with all this and uncaring about getting our allies out when they have had months is just criminal.

It Sure Looks Like Joe Biden Sabotaged the Afghan Air Force. With Afghanistan on fire, the airport in chaos, and uncertainty on how all US personnel will make it out alive, the recriminations for what is still transpiring are in full swing. You'll be less than shocked to learn that some are blaming Donald Trump, who hasn't been president for the last seven months. On the other hand, those living within the confines of our current reality are pointing the finger where it belongs, toward the current President of the United States. While Joe Biden had previously taken credit for his supposedly fabulous withdrawal plan, he's now desperately trying to pass the buck, be it to Republicans or perhaps his own vice president. Yet, things look to be even worse than they first appeared. Reports are coming out that the reason the Afghan Air Force couldn't operate is that the Biden Administration banned foreign maintenance contractors (i.e. the only people with the expertise) from entering Afghanistan.

Biden's Historically Spectacular Miscalculations on Afghanistan. Just five weeks ago, Biden assured Americans "[T]he likelihood there's going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely." What made that prediction ludicrous even at the time was that his own generals had been telling him that there were very few reliable units in the Afghan army that could resist the Taliban. The endgame was always going to be played out swiftly and with minimum resistance from the Afghan national army. In April, Biden said: "We will not conduct a hasty rush to the exit. We'll do it responsibly, deliberately, and safely." How about now, Joe?

Joe Biden Finally Wakes up and Releases a Truly Awful Statement on Afghanistan. The country is in the midst of, by far, the most chaotic week of Joe Biden's presidency. Where is he? Well, he's at Camp David for the next five days, after being in Delaware for most of the previous week. Does that sound normal for a president in the current situation? To be hidden away on a quasi-vacation while Afghanistan collapses and inflation soars? Yet, here we are, with the reality that Biden isn't the president we need, but he's the president we have. Now, he has awakened from his slumber to deliver a truly awful statement on Afghanistan, assuming he had any involvement in drafting it, that is.

Reality Bites Biden's Policies. The Democrats' idiotic anti-fossil fuel campaign took a hit this week when Biden begged the Saudis to up production after shutting down as much of domestic production as he could. (Apparently, he believes that oil from the Middle East doesn't affect the climate as much as fossil fuel from Canada and the U.S. Or, if it does affect the climate by warming it, that's now a good thing.) Dane Bjorn Lomborg who, unlike AOC and Greta, knows what he's talking about, explains that more people (166,000 of them) each year die from cold than die from heat. In like manner to Biden's begging OPEC for more oil, California's loony decarbonization program hit a snag as it is forced to rely on carbon fuels to prevent widespread blackouts.

Saigon! Bay of Pigs! Benghazi!
Joe Biden heads to Camp David for the weekend while the Taliban rampages through Afghanistan. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden left Friday afternoon [8/13/2021] from Delaware for a long weekend at Camp David, as the president's planned withdrawal from Afghanistan is becoming a crisis. Taliban fighters are closing in on Kabul, while more then 3,000 American troops are expected to arrive in the country this weekend, even though the Biden administration has set an August 31 deadline for all US forces to leave. As the Bidens were departing from Delaware Air National Guard, the White House sent out a statement saying the president had been briefed about 'the ongoing efforts to safely drawdown the civilian footprint in Afghanistan.'

Biden's shameful Afghanistan pullout. In July, when Joe Biden announced that he would be pulling the U.S. completely out of Afghanistan, he said: "The likelihood there's going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely." Biden isn't bright. He never has been. But is he stupid enough to have believed it unlikely that the Taliban would, in short order, overrun Afghanistan and seize control of the whole country? That's just what the Taliban is now doing, as anyone with an ounce of sense would have expected, not deemed "highly unlikely."

Sean Hannity says lawyers won't let him accept copy of Hunter Biden laptop. Fox News host Sean Hannity said his lawyers won't accept a copy of the laptop believed to have belonged to Hunter Biden. After showing a clip, obtained by the Daily Mail, of Biden telling a naked woman in bed about a 2018 bender in Las Vegas, in which he lost a laptop, and his ensuing fear of blackmail, Hannity explained why he himself does not have access to the materials. "I have been offered the laptop, my lawyers won't let me accept it. The reason, I'm told, is because of what is believed to be on it," he said on his show Wednesday [8/11/2021]. "I have three individual and separate sources that have told me that there are pictures on this laptop, probably the very things that alerted John Paul Mac, the computer repairman, to alert the FBI," Hannity added, appearing to allude to allegations of inappropriate content.

Biden maims US energy industry, then begs OPEC for oil. During the pre-COVID-19 Trump era, the low price of gas helped sustain an economic boom that brought wage increases for lower-class workers and spurred unprecedented low levels of unemployment. The main reason for the low gas prices was that a huge surge in domestic and North American production was driving prices down. Even more importantly, the production was freeing the United States energy market from the vagaries of Middle Eastern politics and weakening such malign actors as Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose ability to sow chaos depends upon oil revenue. During that period, thanks to fracking technology and a federal government committed to commonsense regulation, the U.S. became the world's leading oil producer. It also became a net exporter of oil, even as the nation decreased carbon emissions, thanks to the surge in natural gas production.

Biden Bolts For Vacation After 5 Disastrous Developments This Week. Democrat President Joe Biden bolted for vacation on Thursday, after returning to work midweek from being on vacation, following five damaging developments for the administration this week. Biden departed the White House for a vacation in Wilmington, Delaware yesterday afternoon, after White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said earlier this week that the administration would not disclose who Biden meets with when goes back to his home state. "And no, I can confirm we are not going to be providing information about the comings and goings of the President's grandchildren or people visiting him in Delaware," Psaki said.

Hunter Biden's Russian Prostitute Videos Indict Both His Father And U.S. Intelligence Agencies. A Russian woman, a drug dealer, and two of his compatriots may have stolen a laptop from Hunter Biden in 2018, Hunter told a prostitute in another sex video, leaving the president's son concerned he may be blackmailed because of his father's political position. While the salacious video of Hunter Biden released earlier this week exposes more details about the troubling lifestyle of the president's son, it reveals much more about a corrupt and complicit media, a corrupt and incompetent intelligence community, and a corrupt and compromised Joe Biden.

Team Biden Seems Caught Off Guard by Predictable Taliban Tragedy. Since January 20, we've been subjected to a daily barrage of awful news, brought to us courtesy of the Joe Biden Oval Office Puppet Show. This isn't a presidency, it's a national disaster. Biden's Cabinet meetings should be run by FEMA. It can be difficult to figure out which firehose of awfulness to focus on during any given news cycle. One of the stories lurking in the background recently is the unmitigated disaster that is our hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan. As with all Biden administration policy, the withdrawal seems like it was thrown together by a bunch of drunks who take all of their cues from MSNBC.

The Editor says...
Maybe Biden's cabinet meetings really are run by FEMA. How would any of us know? Nobody outside of Washington knows who is running the federal government.

The Biden Doctrine: Beg. Joe Biden is begging the Taliban to spare the U.S. embassy when they knock down the Afghan capital of Kabul and overrun the country. And with the fall of Kandahar, Herat, and all the other big Afghan cities, that could be any day now. [...] So after 20 years of warfare, the United States of America is reduced to begging the Taliban to spare our humble embassy so as to save America the humiliation of having a desperate, Saigon 1975-style rooftop evacuation as the communists close in. [...] Even Biden's implicit bribery offer sounds weak. The Taliban already know how to deal drugs and ship illegals. And they've already gotten hold of billions of dollars' worth of U.S. weapons. Once they take Kabul, they'll have access to $9.5 billion in central bank reserves. Bribes? To people whose raison d'être is looting, pillaging, raping, marauding, trafficking, destroying, and dancing on the graves of their enemies? It's kind of pathetic.

Biden urges investigation into 'illegal activity' that may be causing spike in gas prices. President Joe Biden said Wednesday [8/11/2021] his administration is taking steps to crack down on illegal activity that might be contributing to a rise in gas prices. Biden announced that the National Economic Council has asked the Federal Trade Commission to use "every available tool" to monitor the U.S. gasoline market and look for any illegal activity that might be causing gas prices to jump while the cost of a barrel of oil is going down. "That's not what you'd expect in a competitive market," Biden said from the White House. "I want to make sure that nothing stands in the way of oil price declines leading to lower prices for consumers."

The Editor says...
Ri-i-i-ight. Nothing will stand in the way, except killing the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office, threatening Enbridge Line 3, perpetual ethanol mandates, Biden's ban on new oil and gas leasing and drilling on public lands,^* and printing billions of dollars in U.S. currency that did not previously exist and aren't backed up by anything.

Report: A Stoned Hunter Biden Let Russian Drug Dealers Steal His Laptop. "The smartest guy I know," as President Joe Biden called his son Hunter, was so stoned on a bender at a Las Vegas hotel that he passed out — and drug dealers stole his laptop. The latest on the out-of-control drug addict and jet-setting "businessman," the Daily Mail reported, is on a shocking video. It shows a naked Hunter baring his soul to a naked prostitute. During that heart-to-heart talk, Hunter admitted that he had, once again, landed in hot water because of his addiction. The drug dealers, whom the newspaper identified as Russian, have video of Biden's sexual monkeyshines, he said. No wonder Sleepy Joe bragged about Hunter's cerebral powers.

Pillow talk video shows Hunter Biden saying he lost laptop in Vegas and feared blackmail. Engaging in pillow talk, Hunter Biden shared a story about once losing a laptop during a summer romp in Las Vegas. The president's adult son, nude and in bed with a naked woman, told his partner he feared the device was stolen and its videos of his sexual escapades could be used as blackmail, the Daily Mail reported on Wednesday [8/11/2021]. The video was taken from a laptop believed to have belonged to Biden, who has never definitively denied being its owner. The Washington Examiner reached out to Biden's lawyer for comment on the new footage but did not receive a reply.

'Why is the FBI not doing anything?': Sean Hannity says feds are not properly investigating Hunter Biden's laptop. Sean Hannity on Wednesday night [8/11/2021] demanded to know why arrests had not been made in the case of Hunter Biden — pointing out that the FBI have had possession of the president's son's computer 'for quite some time'. Hunter's laptop, which was left at a Delaware repair shop, first became a political football in October 2020, and has provided a steady stream of damaging stories ever since. On Wednesday DailyMail.com obtained new video from the laptop, in which Hunter claimed Russians stole another one of his laptops for blackmail while he was close to overdosing in a Las Vegas hotel room.

Sean Hannity: Why is FBI doing nothing about Hunter Biden? News commentator Sean Hannity is questioning why the FBI is doing nothing about Hunter Biden after the Daily Mail in the United Kingdom revealed that it has obtained shocking video, from a laptop computer, showing a naked Biden with a prostitute. And the president's son is fretting to her about another laptop that he reveals has similar explicit videos — and he suspects it was stolen by Russians. Worry about blackmail and the fact his father, Joe Biden, was running for president, are key. It's the latest stage of the scandal that just keeps on giving for President Joe Biden, as Hunter Biden has been documented, according to computer videos and emails, as involved in a wide range of questionable behaviors, up to and including his acceptance of money from controversial sources, and Joe Biden's involvement in Hunter's business deals to the point he let him ride on Air Force Two while vice president to pursue his money operations.

Video Surfaces of Hunter Biden Telling Prostitute The Russians Have His Laptop and Sex Tapes: "They have videos of me doing crazy f***ing sex f***ing, you know". Oh dear. According to Hunter Biden the Russians have sex tapes of him doing "crazy [...] stuff" from drug fueled parties in Las Vegas where Russian drug dealers were partying with him. As the story is told in his own words three Russian drug dealers were partying with him for several days with prostitutes, drugs and various debauchery; and when he woke up from passing out one night, all the recordings on his laptop were gone along with the laptop itself. "They have videos of me doing this,' he said, referring to the filmed sex he just finished.

Another Inflation Record Gets Broken as Biden's Senility Hits Home. I'd like to say that I had good news to report today regarding the inflation we were assured would be temporary by the powers that be. Unfortunately, it's only accelerating, with middle-class families seeing the entirety of the past several years' wage growth wiped out over the course of a few months. Today, the record for the year-over-year increase in producer cost inflation was set at 7.8% and there's no end in sight. That breaks the previous record which was set in June of this year. [...] What was Joe Biden's response to this? Well, he took to the teleprompter to let it be known that his "build back better" policies were actually lowering costs. It's like he's on another planet.

Biden admin refuses to release visitor logs for Delaware trips, Psaki shrugs off transparency. Despite his campaign vow to restore transparency if he was elected, President Joe Biden isn't about to reveal the names of those he has met with during numerous trips to his residences in Delaware, yet another broken promise to the American people. The administration rejected the idea that the public has the right to know about people who have been guests of the POTUS at his main home in Wilmington and his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach; Biden has made 17 trips to Delaware in six months with two more expected to come next week. White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed that Biden's visitor logs were off-limits during an exchange with a reporter during Wednesday's [8/11/2021] press briefing. "The president's been to Delaware 17 times, it's soon going to be 18 and 19 times over the last six months, I want to know how visits from visitors and from family members with potential conflicts of interest are being treated for the purpose of White House visitor logs disclosure," asked Steven Nelson of the New York Post, also inquiring about Biden's son Hunter and his controversial art sales.

Hunter Biden is seen in unearthed footage telling a prostitute that Russian drug dealers stole another of his laptops for blackmail. Hunter Biden claimed Russians stole another one of his laptops for blackmail while he was close to overdosing in a Las Vegas hotel room, DailyMail.com can reveal. The alleged incident would mean Hunter lost a total of three computers — the first abandoned at a Delaware computer store and the second seized by federal agents — each likely to hold sensitive information on President Joe Biden and the embarrassing pictures, videos and communications of his son. The third laptop still appears to be missing — and was taken by Russian drug dealers after they partied with Hunter in Vegas, he told a prostitute in a conversation caught on camera.

Biden's light schedule under scrutiny, calls early lid before noon: 'Good thing nothing important is going on'. Biden and the White House called an early lid before noon on Monday following a daily presidential briefing at 10 a.m. and the President then proceeded to continue to relax at his home in Delaware as if nothing important was going on. "It is Monday, before noon, and President Biden/the White House have called a lid at 11:27 am," conservative commentator Katie Pavlich reported. "The White House has called a travel pool lid at 11:27," the White House pool report stated. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki also wasn't scheduled to give a briefing on Monday afternoon as she usually does. Biden reportedly spent all weekend at his Wilmington, Delaware home.

The Hypocrisy Variant. [Barack H.] Obama is hardly the only Democrat carrier of the Hypocrisy Variant, of course. President Biden is a kind of one-man superspreader. During last year's presidential campaign, Biden routinely denounced then-President Trump as a lawless authoritarian who had consistently exceeded his constitutional authority. This claim was never accompanied by convincing evidence, but it was parroted by the media. It goes without saying that as soon as Biden was installed in the White House, he began issuing constitutionally suspect executive orders as fast as his lackeys could shove them under his nose. His most lawless act thus far has been the renewal of the unconstitutional eviction moratorium.

Joe Biden Finally Emerges and Looks as Old and Confused as Ever. I'm happy to report that Joe Biden has been located. After going off the grid in Delaware since last Friday, with lids being called early and no availability or statements made, the president eventually returned to the White House today. In doing so, he looked as old and doddering as ever. [Tweet] [...] Biden just does not look well here. His gait is labored and his back is hunched. When the camera shows him from the side up by the White House, he appears almost woozy, with a stutter in his step. This is a guy who has been laying up at the family home for the better part of five days. Where's the energy?

Biden Calls an Early Lid Before Noon on a Monday. President Joe Biden is at his home in Wilmington, Delaware today. After receiving his daily presidential briefing at 10 a.m., the White House called a lid shortly afterward. "The White House has called a travel pool lid at 11:27," the White House pool report states. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki isn't scheduled to give a briefing Monday afternoon [8/9/2021].

Former Trump Lawyer Jenna Ellis Joins Chorus Calling on GOP to Talk Up Biden Impeachment. Jenna Ellis, a former attorney for the 2020 campaign of then-President Donald Trump, has become the latest leading conservative to call on Republicans to push for impeaching President Joe Biden for "multiple" constitutional cases of abuse. In comments to Newsmax TV on Saturday, Ellis pointed to Biden's border policies, which including allowing tens of thousands of migrants into the country illegally, including many testing positive for COVID, while ignoring a Supreme Court order barring eviction moratoriums as reasons why Republicans should begin talking about impeachment even though they are currently in the minority in Congress. Biden's immigration policies are particularly egregious, Ellis said.

Why aren't congressional Republicans impeaching Biden now? We all know that the Democrats fight dirty; always have, always will. The Republicans on the other hand just sit back and let them lie, cheat and steal as if it would be rude to call them out for their crimes. They seem to delight in being known as the polite party. As a result, the left is plowing them under with glee. They impeached President Trump twice over nothing, less than nothing. And now, as Biden is transforming the country and its demographics before the world's eyes by encouraging migrants from all over the world to illegally enter the U.S. over the southern border, the Republicans are as usual sitting back and doing nothing. Never mind that while the administration demands American citizens be vaxxed and masked, these migrants endure no such mandates. Some are spreading COVID and all are welcomed. [...] This is an obvious national security nightmare as thousands of those entering the country are criminals of the worst kinds. If this is not an impeachable offense what is?

Tom Cotton: Hunter Biden's Art 'Looks Like Coronavirus Got Sick with Bacteria'. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that Hunter Biden's artwork "looks like coronavirus got sick with a bacteria." "Who wants to buy a Hunter Biden painting for $500, much less $500,000. Some of the pictures of his art have been online; it looks like a coronavirus got sick with a bacteria," Cotton critiqued Hunter's art he intends to sell to "anonymous" buyers. "Who's gonna pay for a first time artist, whose art is mediocre at best, thousands of dollars. Say nothing of hundreds of thousands of dollars," Cotton continued. "I know the White House claims that they're somehow going to have private auctions where no one knows who the other people [investors] are," Cotton explained. But it is an "incredibly ill-advised idea, and they need to stop it now. Hunter Biden can paint all he wants. And when his dad is out of office, and there's no more risk of corruption, then he can sell his paintings."

Time to impeach Biden. After having appointed a special counsel, or in place of it, under 5 U.S. Code §1212 — Powers and functions of the Office of Special Counsel, specifically under (a) (aB), (a3), Congress must act to impeach this president for high crimes and misdemeanors, gross mismanagement, violating the nation's laws, and endangering the public health and safety of citizens. [...] Congress must begin impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden, V.P. Kamala Harris, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, and his deputies, who likely have knowledge of the events that squashed investigations into the nation's murderous governors. The investigations should include the governors, secretaries of state, and attorneys general of New York and Michigan. Charges include, but are not limited to, obstruction of justice, abuse of authority, abuse of power, abuse of office, covering up criminal activity, conspiracy, and criminal self-dealing. Considering allegations of potential collusion among these individuals and associates to cover up crimes that resulted in the deaths of citizens, provisions of the RICO Act for fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud shall be attached. Investigative subpoenas to the staffs of these politicians must be prepared immediately to protect the integrity of the nation's justice and political systems, primarily its national security to protect America's citizens from harm.

Joe Biden Does Not Inspire Trust, and That's Proving Contagious for the Rest of Us. Something city people notice when they move to a small town is the almost palpable trust local folks display toward each other. Walk up to a stranger in a large city and they pull back, wary of your purpose. None of that in small American communities where they suspect the best of others, even strangers, instead of expecting the worst. The default position is trust. That used to be the national default position, too. [...] But in so many disappointing ways, all that has changed drastically. It's seriously corroding our national character. And it's profoundly affecting the way we live, work, vote, entertain, talk to each other. Or, rather, talk at each other now. It's virtually impossible for anyone to mount effective leadership, when collectively few if any trust or believe that person, the institution, or many of the institutions around him. Sixty years ago, polls showed nearly three-quarters of Americans believed public officials. Today, it's under 20 percent.

9/11 Families to Biden: Don't Come to Memorial Events Unless You Release Evidence of Saudi Involvement in Attacks. As the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 jihad attacks draws near, nearly 1,800 people who lost loved ones on that terrible day have made it clear that one person they don't want to see at anniversary events is Old Joe Biden. And it's not, as you may have expected, because they don't want commemorations to descend into a platform for yet another one of Joe's embarrassing displays of his rapidly deteriorating mental state. NBC News reported Friday that the Dotty Puppet is not welcome at events in New York City and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the plane on which courageous patriots foiled the jihadis went down, "unless he upholds his pledge to declassify U.S. government evidence that they believe may show a link between Saudi Arabian leaders and the attacks."

Joe Biden Falsely Claims, Two Times In A Row, That 350 Million Americans Have Been Fully Vaccinated. Joe Biden wore a tan suit as he delivered remarks on the July jobs report on Friday [8/6/2021]. As usual Joe Biden struggled to read his own notes because he of his cognitive decline. Biden said 350 million Americans are vaccinated — over 100% of the entire population of the US. "We have uh roughly 350 million people vaccinated in the United States and billions around the world," Biden said.

All Biden Has To Do Is Stop Sniffing Kids and He Just Can't Do It. Joe Biden held a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden on Thursday honoring the Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police involved in protecting the Capitol on January 6. [Tweet] So Joe Biden is talking about the Constitution although just the other day he basically said he didn't [care] about it, announcing that his administration was issuing a new eviction moratorium order to buy time, knowing that it was likely to be found unconstitutional. He swore an oath to uphold the Constitution but he just threw that right under the bus. It was a strange gathering where only kids seemed to be wearing masks. [Tweet] But that wasn't the only thing that was strange. Joe Biden was at it again with the kids and the hair sniffing.

Biden's Brain Completely Melts Down During January 6 Medal Announcement. Joe Biden announced on Thursday [8/5/2021] that he would be signing legislation to award four Congressional Gold Medals over the Jan. 6 events at the Capitol building. The legislation passed the Senate by unanimous consent on Tuesday after it had passed the House. Four medals will be awarded, including one to the U.S. Capitol Police force and one to the Metropolitan Police Department. There will be a medal for the Smithsonian Institution to display, as well as one for the Architect of the Capitol, according to Politico. President Biden, flanked by Vice President Kamala Harris, framed the Capitol Riot in dire terms, comparing it to the darkest days America had experienced during the Civil War.

Is it possible that Biden's not as stupid as he appears? [Scroll down] Don Surber, however, says we're fooling ourselves, that Biden does indeed speak like a former stutterer (substituting words on the fly for words he can't say), and that we're playing into leftist hands: [...] Surber argues that Biden's bumbling persona means it will be hard to get voters to blame him for everything that happened on his watch. They'll vote for the kind grandfather, not for the nation-destroyer. He warns, "Defeating Biden in 2024 will take an extraordinary effort by Republicans. That effort begins by viewing Biden as one of the best politicians in U.S. history." Certainly Biden, even more effectively than Obama, has pushed through his agenda, helped by an utterly supportive government and a Pravda-esque media. Talk about a transformational president. So, is he the incompetent, creepy, incoherent old man or is he crazy like a fox?

Don't misunderestimate Biden. If conservatives want to restore the constitutional republic in 2024, we will have to take Biden as serious as brain surgery because the task is difficult and one slip can cause doom. [...] Far from being his 25th Amendment successor, Kamala has become a convenient scapegoat. Jill no doubt is leaking stories diminishing her competition because a beehive can have only one queen, as Rush Limbaugh said of Pelosi's gamesmanship with Hillary in the Obama era. Defeating Biden in 2024 will take an extraordinary effort by Republicans.

Mark Levin says Biden should be removed from office. Mark Levin says it is time to start talking about using impeachment or the 25th Amendment against Joe Biden to remove the "most disastrous president in modern American history" from office. The conservative commentator, who commands a large following on the Right, took aim at Biden's handling of the border situation and the coronavirus pandemic, making the case to fellow Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday that the Democratic commander in chief violated the Constitution. After a series of insults, Levin said Biden has "the border wide open in violation of our immigration laws" and invoked the administration's eviction moratorium, which came this week despite a Supreme Court decision in June ruling an earlier eviction moratorium could only be extended by Congress.

Psaki dodges when asked about claims of 'abusive' Jill Biden staffer. White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday deflected when asked about a report that alleged abusive behavior by a top aide to first lady Jill Biden, saying it's "hard to look into" the allegations because the claims were made anonymously. Anthony Bernal was accused of a "mean streak" in a Politico report that alleged it's common knowledge that he makes colleagues cry while controlling access to the first lady. "You know, it's hard to look into anonymously sourced reports. I'm not aware of that being the intention," Psaki told reporters at her daily press briefing. Bernal has a habit of "berating" people and trashes his "stupid" coworkers behind their backs, according to the report.

TV Media Desperately Conceal Biden's Gaffes from Viewers. It's no secret the left-wing media abruptly lose interest in covering presidential gaffes when Democrats take the White House. Well, they're doing it again: over the past few months liberal cable and broadcast news networks have utterly ignored a slew of mistakes and fumbles by President Biden. At the G-7 Summit in June, Biden mistakenly referred to Syria as Libya three separate times during a speech. Aides later confirmed that he had, in fact, meant Syria. That same month, the President wrongly conflated the Tuskegee Airmen — a predominantly black contingent of World War II fighter pilots — with victims of the notorious Tuskegee syphilis experiment. Both times, broadcast (ABC, CBS, and NBC) and cable (CNN and MSNBC) networks shrugged. Last week brought yet another gaffe that these same channels ignored.

Dirty Rotten Bidens: Hunter is the very apotheosis of the spoiled, useless princeling. Even at the peak of his powers, Joe Biden was every dumb, oily, empty-suit politician on a sitcom. But he was a hell of a lucky guy, too. Even tiny little Delaware gets two senators, and all it took for him to be re-elected repeatedly from that peninsular speck was absolute fealty to the credit-card giants that basically own it. And Hunter? Hunter is the very apotheosis of the spoiled, useless princeling who can't stop getting into preposterous scrapes. Of course he smoked Parmesan cheese. Of course he had a fling with his dead brother's widow. Separately, father and son are cartoonish enough. But when you put them together, they're, well, slapstick clowns out of a picture like Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. China, Barisma: these shameless pay-for-play operations beat everything else going for sheer brazen sleaziness. If the Democratic Party weren't itself so crooked, and if the CIA and FBI and mainstream media weren't so totally in the tank, these two would've been locked up long ago.

Biden Staffers Reportedly Sick Of Biden, Hammering Him Behind His Back. According to a new report from Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec, President Joe Biden's staffers are referring to him as "the nightmare on elm street." [Tweet] The news comes after Monmouth University came out with a devastating poll for Joe Biden. According to the poll that was released on Thursday, President Joe Biden's approval rating has plunged 20 points since he first took office on January.

Weekly Biden Report Card: Inflation up, vax goal still unreached, approval rating struggles. This week's White House Report Card finds President Joe Biden in a bad spot. COVID-19 is on the rise partly because he failed on his vaccine goal, inflation is on the rise in part due to his spending, the border remains a mess, and his Rasmussen Reports average approval rating is the lowest yet. Conservative grader Jed Babbin gave Biden a D-, citing the problems the president and the nation are facing. Democratic pollster John Zogby, however, graded a B-, though he too highlighted the hurdles facing the White House.

The banality of our destructors. This is not another knock on Biden. And it is not really another knock on Kamala. While neither is a Rhodes scholar, they were smart enough to work the system to become the top man and top woman in the federal government. As for Rhodes scholars, Rachel Maddow is one and she is about as sharp as a button. (And as cute as a tack.) The problem with the Biden administration is not the Biden part but with the administration part. Jen Psaki is the face of the hacks and unemployable nephews who are running the show. As press secretary, she has somehow managed to [anger]z the largest gathering of Marxist reporters since the Soviet Union fell. Her performance is so poor that I wonder if that is the plan.

Biden Angrily Attempts to Reconcile His Own Contradictions on Mask Mandates. Earlier today [7/29/2021], the installed occupant of the White House announced that all federal workers will be required to undergo vaccinations against COVID-19 or subject themselves to weekly tests to prove their health status. Going a step further, the administration announced all private contractors for the federal government will be held to the same standard as federal employees. [Video clip] Joe Biden was visibly unsettled[,] straining to keep his focus in place[,] as he read from the carefully prepared script on the teleprompter. During the questioning following the prepared comments Biden said, "If in fact you are unvaccinated, you present a problem to yourself, to your family and to those with whom you work". These comments highlight his intent to apply as much federal pressure as possible to force vaccinations.

Joe Biden Loses It: Calls Fox 'Fax,' Snaps at Peter Doocy, and Wrecks His Own Argument on Masks. Joe Biden spoke briefly from the White House today [7/29/2021] to reporters to announce a vaccination-or-masking requirement for federal workers, along with other steps to spur vaccinations. He said that civilian federal employees will be required to "attest" that they have been vaccinated. If not, then they would have to submit to regular COVID-19 testing and masking guidelines, with restrictions on their travel. The White House also said they would be encouraging localities to provide $100 to newly vaccinated individuals using leftover COVID-19 relief funds, according to information they released today. They're going to restrict travel? Prepare for more constitutional challenges. And give people more free money? That should go over well with those already vaccinated. The White House is now making the White House staff and reporters wear masks even if they are fully vaccinated and that's what they're pushing generally for most of the country where the Delta variant is having "substantial" impact.

Biden snaps at Fox News reporter Peter Doocy following vaccination announcement. President Biden and Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy had a heated exchange Thursday [7/29/2021] at the end of a speech in which Biden announced a vax-or-test-mask-and-distance requirement for millions of federal workers. As Biden left the podium in the East Room of the White House, Doocy reminded the president that he had said, "if you are fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask." "No I didn't say that," Biden responded. "I said if you're fully vaccinated in an area where you do not have — well, let me clarify that — " Doocy interrupted to clarify his question: "In May, you made it sound like a vaccine was the ticket to losing the masks forever." "That was true at the time!" a visibly agitated president shot back.

Joe Biden's Brain Breaks Again, and Then It Gets Really Bad. Joe Biden was at a virtual Zoom meeting from the White House with governors in regard to wildfires. His brain broke again while he was talking about wildfires and Delaware. "You know, I come from the state of Delaware," Biden said. "We had more acreage burn last year than the state of Delaware and Maryland combined. COMBINED." Wait, what? How does that make any sense? Of course, it doesn't. I think that he was trying to talk about how wildfires in the United States have burned nearly three million acres so far this year — that's the size of Delaware and Rhode Island combined. But he didn't seem to be able to say it coherently. But it gets worse. At some point during the meeting, Kamala Harris appears to have taken over, so you can hear her droning on in the background of this clip. Biden sits there, looking vacant. But that isn't the focal point of the video. The focus is that Biden receives a note from an aide, reads it, then wipes something off his chin and appears to eat it. Yikes.
