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,
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans a vote soon to push Sen. Bernie Sanders’ $3.5 trillion socialist dream budget one step closer to law.
The news grows worse from there.
Every other detail about this onerous legislation merits scorn, revulsion and rejection.
The Build Back Better budget resolution boasts a $3.5 trillion price tag. Taxpayers should be so lucky.
This figure assumes that several key initiatives, including the child tax credit, will expire in three to five years. Since government programs are virtually immortal, this is not wishful thinking. It’s pure fantasy.
Reasonably assuming that these programs grind on for 10 years swells the budget’s true price to $5.5 trillion.
Why are the governor and mayor of New York taking a meeting at the World Trade Center with the Two Megxiteers? Harry and Meghan threw away their royal obligations as vigorously as John Kerry threw away his Vietnam War service ribbons. I say we treat them like any other tourists. These people are entitled to no more bowing and scraping than the Kansas City Royals.
Meghan’s brand — California New-Age I’m-Still-on-a-Journey-of-Self-Discovery-in-Middle-Age — and Harry’s palace-born entitlement have intermingled to create the most appalling British-American monster since Madonna’s “Madge” period. At least Madge didn’t mumble about climate change and global poverty, though.
Police arrested two people after finding 21 kilograms of the highly-toxic drug carfentanil – enough to kill 50 million people – inside a Southern California home.The synthetic opioid, which is 100-times more potent than fentanyl, is typically used to sedate elephants and other large mammals.Andres Jesus Morales, 20, and 23-year-old Christine Ponce were charged with four felonies for possession for sales of fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin. Both pleaded guilty during an arraignment yesterday and were held without bail. They're due to appear in court again November 9.
Most people haven’t heard of James Zimmermann, but most have heard him. A decorated musician with a long string of acoustic accolades, Zimmermann, 39, has made the sound of his clarinet difficult to avoid. He played at President Barack Obama’s second inaugural, has recorded tracks for best-selling video games, and helped create Walt Disney World’s new theme. Zimmermann was also the principal clarinetist of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra for more than a decade—that is, until the orchestra fired him last February over accusations of racial harassment.
They Caught Them! AZ Audit Team Caught MARICOPA COUNTY Deleting Files And The Crowd Cheered..Ben Cotton shared the IT results from the audit of the 2020 Election Results in Maricopa County. During his presentation, he noted that files were deleted by those involved in the election. But then Cotton noted that his team was able to identify the time stamps for when the files were messed with and from that We have captured screen shots of Maricopa County people at the keyboards during those time periods.”
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas revealed on Friday that nearly 30,000 Haitian migrants have been encountered on the US-Mexico border as they try to enter the country. Additionally he noted that the camp under the International Bridge in Del Rio, Texas, which serves the length of the border, has been emptied.
'Nearly 30,000 migrants have been encountered at Del Rio since September 9 with the highest number one time reaching approximately 15,000,' he said at the daily White House press briefing. Meanwhile the BBC reported nearly 19,000 mostly Haitian migrants are heading towards the US. They are in Colombia waiting to cross the border to Panama, Colombian officials say.
The official Arizona Senate election audit report is in – and Trump supporters are calling for the state’s 2020 election to be ‘decertified.’ The results showed “57,734 ballots with serious issues were identified.” If those ballots were not counted, that would be far beyond the margin of victory needed to overturn the results of the election. The independent auditors recommended that “the election should not be certified.”In addition, there were more disturbing findings, according to Cyber Ninjas: A Dominion technician allegedly deleted all of the log files a day before the audit began, while other security lapses abounded.
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.
A conservative lawyer who counselled Trump about how to overturn the election result has revealed details of Mike Pence's involvement.John Eastman claims the former VP 'wanted to look at' an idea that Trump liked about adjourning a joint meeting of Congress after lawmakers gathered to count the electoral votes submitted by states.'He asked me point blank: do you think I have that authority,' Eastman said, describing a scenario where Pence would act on his own authority to refuse to accept ballots. 'And I told him point blank, it's an open question, but even if you had, it would be foolish to exercise it,
In a chaotic interview with "The View" Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris likened aggressive acts by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers on horseback at the southern border with the historical treatment of slaves and Indigenous Americans.
CBP came under fire this week after images surfaced showing border protection officers on horseback corralling Haitian migrants away from illegally entering the U.S.
One officer appeared to swing his reins while attempting to deter a migrant from crossing the river into Del Rio, Texas – prompting fierce backlash from Democrats who claimed the agent was whipping the individual.
Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Debbie Dingell (D-MI) got into a screaming match on the outdoor Capitol steps on Friday. In several videos destined to break the internet by the end of the day, Greene and Dingell traded jabs over abortion laws. The exchange came on the heels of the House of Representatives passing an abortion rights bill that would codify Roe v. Wade into law regardless of whether or not the U.S. Supreme Court reverses it.It will now head to the Senate where it is unlikely to overcome a Republican filibuster.Against the backdrop of the Capitol, with its glorious and brutalist architecture, and on a cloudless day
Derek Chauvin plans to appeal his conviction and sentence for the murder of George Floyd — arguing the judge abused his discretion in critical points in the case, according to documents filed Thursday.
The former Minneapolis police officer said in the court filing that he intends to appeal on 14 grounds.
One claim made by Chauvin in the notice to appeal is that Judge Peter Cahill abused his discretion by denying him a request to move the trial out of Hennepin County because of pretrial publicity.
Chauvin, 45, also claimed Cahill abused his discretion when he denied requests to postpone the trial or grant a new one —
This is the moment a hangry Chipotle customer whips out a gun and shouts, “Somebody better give me my food!” after being told the restaurant is closing soon.
Surveillance video, released by police Wednesday, shows the woman threatening a cashier at a Chipotle in the Roosevelt Mall in Philadelphia last Saturday night.
Police said the unidentified woman was waiting in line to order just before 5 p.m. when the manager announced the store was closing soon.
The manager said all remaining customers had to place their orders online because the restaurant was short on staff.
The footage shows the woman slowly pulling out a black handgun from her bag
On Friday, Congressman Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) announced plans to introduce legislation to prohibit the U.S. military code from placing restrictions on servicemembers’ right to bear firearms.The bill, entitled the Protect Gun Rights Act, targets Democrat efforts to strip servicemembers’ rights to keep and bear arms through red flag laws.
“Democrats have no right to dictate to our servicemembers, the most patriotic and dedicated Americans among us, when or how they exercise their Second Amendment rights,” said Cawthorn on Friday. “Our military needs to be funded, built up and defended, but Democrats want to, instead, disarm our servicemembers.
Last week, nationwide parliamentary elections were held in Russia. The elections spanned over a period of three days from Sept. 17 to Sept. 19.
Leading contenders in this race were the United Russia party led by President Vladimir Putin and the Communist Party of Russia. Also in the race were the nationalist LDPR party, the Just Russia party, the New People party, and myriad independents.
The results were declared with the United Russia party winning nearly 50% of the votes while the Communist Party received around 19% of the vote. The United Russia party had around two-thirds of the 450 seats in the Russian parliament which is an absolute majority.

Minnesota parents accused a woke school district of asking teenagers to role play as transgender and homosexual characters and telling children as young as four years old to refer to a female as a 'person with a vulva' as part of the sex education curriculum. On Monday, the Richfield Public Schools' board members heard the parent's complaints about a sex-ed curriculum by Advocates for Youth - a Planned Parenthood-sponsored program - dubbed the 3R's (Rights, respect, responsibility). The curriculum includes situations where teenagers are 'turned on,' 'hooking up' and 'doing awesome things' to each other, Aphanews reported.
Northern Ireland – Hillary Clinton was booed and heckled outside of Queen’s University Belfast on Friday. Recall, Hillary Clinton was appointed the first female chancellor of Queen’s University Belfast in January 2020, but because of Covid restrictions, she wasn’t formally inaugurated until this week. (Tweet/Photo) Protesters shouted, “war criminal!” as Hillary Clinton, wearing her new chancellor robe, walked up the steps into the building.VIDEO: (Twee/Video) “Northern Ireland has become a symbol of democracy’s power to transcend divisions and deliver peace, and we need that beacon of hope now more than ever,” Hillary said during her inauguration ceremony.
The Arc de Triomphe is a monument consecrated by Napoleon to ‘perpetuate the memory of the French Army’s victories’. The artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude have wrapped it, posthumously: Christo died last year, and Jeanne-Claude in 2009. The project dates from 1961, three years after the two artists met: ‘the realisation of a dream of 60 years’, president Emmanuel Macron declared, inaugurating it in the company of Anne Hidalgo, mayor of Paris and candidate in next year’s presidential election, and Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York. Macron was also at pains to make clear that this pharaonic and ephemeral project hasn’t cost taxpayers a thing:
A father in Oklahoma City tackled a local pastor who was seen inappropriately touching his son at a bus stop, leaving the suspect with a cracked skull and a bloody mugshot.
"There’s hardly any words that are camera appropriate," witness Lisa Ward said of the incident. "It’s just sickening."
Oklahoma City Police arrested the suspect, Michael Coghill, on Wednesday, after he was recorded on camera touching a nine-year-old boy at a bus stop and was confronted by the boy’s father, according to News9. The police department, however, could not confirm to Fox News that the boy's father was the one to confront the suspect due to the Open Records Act.

war with his own agents over false 'whipping' allegations replies
President Biden on Friday left Border Patrol agents stunned after repeating debunked claims that Del Rio agents whipped or "strapped" Haitian migrants, while promising to make those agents "pay." Biden weighed in on the controversy over images that emerged Sunday of agents on horseback blocking Haitian migrants from entering the U.S.
Claims that agents, who were using long reins to control their horses, were using "whips" were quickly debunked by officials and other agents – but activists and elected Democrats have continued to fuel it. The photographer who took the images said Friday he did not see any agents whipping migrants.
No one has done more to undermine confidence in the coronavirus vaccine than His Fraudulency Joe Biden. And this, of course (as I will explain below), is deliberate. Anything he can do to keep unvaccinated Trump voters unvaccinated, he’s going to do.There’s just no other explanation.And few things have undermined faith in the vaccine, as well as the institutions behind the vaccine, more than Biden’s fiasco fiesta of anti-science calls for coronavirus vaccine booster shots.Here’s the timeline (so far):

Corvallis' new directives for unvaccinated city firefighters brought an eclectic group of Oregonians to the front of City Hall in protest of rules they say are both discriminatory and punishments instead of accommodations.We believe that the city of Corvallis is imposing very unreasonable punishment against them," said Scott Stiener, spokesman for Mandate Free Oregon. "The idea that they are having to walk around wearing an N95 mask the entire time they're on shift, even when they sleep, is unreasonable.”
I have noticed that, in all the acres of commentary (most of it respectful or even laudatory) on the wrapping of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris with 25,000 square meters of polypropylene fabric, none has claimed that the beauty of the city has been thereby enhanced. It has been called “remarkable,” “amazing,” “bold,” and even “artistic”—O Art, as Marie Antoinette would now exclaim, what crimes are committed in thy name! But no one—at least, no one whose cowardly dithyrambs to this costly, pointless exercise I have read—has called it beautiful. (Snip)The word beauty and its cognates have been all but expunged from the vocabulary of critics,

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday described as “outstanding” his first bilateral meeting with Joe Biden who said the Indo-US relationship is destined to be “stronger, closer and tighter” as the two leaders discussed a wide range of issues, including combating COVID-19, climate change, trade and the Indo-Pacific.
Biden, who welcomed Prime Minister Modi in the Oval Office of the White House said that today they are starting a new chapter in US-India relationship.
Biden relied on notecards, mumbled throughout the meeting, cracked an awkward joke, picked his nose and said he was US Vice President in 2020.
Former TV journalist John Stossel has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Facebook seeking at least $2 million in damages, alleging that the company defamed him by adding “fact-check” labels to two videos he posted related to climate change. After Facebook’s labels, the lawsuit claims “his viewership plummeted due to both Facebook’s censorship and the reputational harm caused by the false labels.”
President Joe Biden deepened his administration’s lies that mounted Border Patrol agents used “whips” against Haitian migrants at the southern U.S. border on Friday by claiming that “people were being strapped” and run over by horses.
“It was horrible to see. To see people treated like they did? Horses running them over? People being strapped? It’s outrageous,” Biden claimed.
The president repeated the administration’s promise to conduct an investigation into the incident, which started after footage and photos on social media went viral, and said that the people involved “will pay.”
Beijing — China’s central bank on Friday declared all transactions involving Bitcoin and other virtual currencies illegal, stepping up a campaign to block use of unofficial digital money.
Friday’s notice complained Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital currencies disrupt the financial system and are used in money-laundering and other crimes.
“Virtual currency derivative transactions are all illegal financial activities and are strictly prohibited,” the People’s Bank of China said on its website.
A draft copy of the 2020 Maricopa County election audit has been leaked to KJZZ, a Phoenix-based radio station.
The validity of the draft report they obtained was confirmed by audit spokesman Randy Pullen, who said, “It’s not the final report, but it’s close.”
The media is already spinning the findings of the audit.
“The partisan review of Maricopa County’s 2.1 million ballots cast in the 2020 election found a vote count nearly identical to what the county had previously reported,” CNN reported. Like other liberal outlets, CNN focused on the results of the hand-recount part of the audit. As we know, hand recounts may account for slight discrepancies
On Thursday, the photographer behind the images of Border Patrol agents on horseback set the record staring on what exactly those viral photos depict. The photos, which were taken on Sunday, were mistakenly said to have depicted the agents on horseback with whips in their hands, causing outrage. Photographer Paul Ratje, speaking with KTSM, said that he and his colleagues taking photos that day never saw any of the agents whipping the Haitian migrants they were moving.(Video) "Some of the Haitian men started running, trying to go around the horses," Ratje said.Ratje, who is a photographer based in Las Cruces, New Mexico,
President Joe Biden pointed to a number of reasons why his poll numbers might be plummeting - including having to make up for former President Donald Trump's missteps, anti-vaxxers, fires and floods. 'This is a process and it's going to be up and down,' he told reporters at the White House Friday. 'That's why I don't look at the polls. Not a joke.' Biden's numbers have taken a tumble following a bungled Afghanistan pull-out, a border crisis and the ever-present COVID pandemic, with Gallup putting him at 43 per cent.
“Those people will pay,” Joe Biden promised, making the Border Patrol a bigger target for the president than the Taliban, apparently. Biden got confronted in his presser this morning over the border crisis, with one reporter pressing him to explain how his promises of humane treatment square with the images seen from Del Rio. Biden seized on the misinformation about alleged whippings by the Border Patrol’s mounted units, promising “consequences” for the agents in question: Our pal Guy Benson notes the contrast between Biden’s assessment of American law enforcement and the “business”-minded people currently reinstating amputations in Afghanistan:
The View hosts Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro have been dramatically pulled off air during a live broadcast after testing positive for COVID ahead of an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. Hostin and Navarro were broadcasting live Friday morning from ABC's New York City studios, where they were scheduled to sit down with Harris in her first daytime appearance as VP. But the pair were dramatically ordered off set seconds before Harris walked out on stage, leaving producers scrambling. An employee of The View was heard yelling at both Hostin and Navarro, ordering them out as co-hosts Joy Behar and Sara Haines remained on stage.
On Sept. 22, Michael Sussmann appeared via video at the first status conference held in Special Counsel John Durham’s criminal case against the former Clinton attorney. During the hearing, the government noted some disclosure material likely included classified information, spinning speculation of what those documents might be.
But while the prosecution remains in its infant stages, and it will be some time before the country knows more details(snip) the biggest backers of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax have already exonerated Sussmann. That fits a long pattern of collusion spinners downplaying every investigative advance into their Russia hoax.
Here are their top talking points about the Sussmann news and why they are gibberish.
President Joe Biden referred to “trillionaires” not paying taxes on Friday, 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.
President Biden’s wavering $3.5 trillion social welfare bill took another hit when Rep. Alma Adams said she’s a no vote unless more money goes to historically Black colleges and universities.
Ms. Adams, a North Carolina Democrat and top advocate for HBCUs, said Mr. Biden is shortchanging the Black schools in the massive spending bill.(Snip)Mr. Biden promised during the campaign to give HBCUs $57 billion to upgrade campuses and improve research facilities. The Government Accounting Office found in 2018 that 46% of the buildings at HBCUs needed repair or replacement. However, the Black colleges are slated to get just $2 billion in the bill, a fraction of what
A funny thing happened on the way to the accountability forum for the New York Times. In attempting to explain why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broke out in tears after changing her vote on Iron Dome funding from nay to present, the NYT reported that a great deal of pressure had been brought to bear on House Democrats. Who applied that pressure? It depends on which version of the New York Times report you read.
This was the first take: It was the “influential … rabbis” that made AOC cry and forced her to vote present on bill that passed with, er, 420 votes?
A passenger aboard a JetBlue flight from Boston to Puerto Rico tried to storm the cockpit before choking a flight attendant—and shouted at the pilot in Arabic and Spanish to shoot him, officials said.
Flight 261 was about an hour from San Juan late Wednesday when Khalil El Dahr became enraged after a phone call he tried to make was unsuccessful, according to an FBI affidavit obtained by ABC News. Some 25 minutes later, he “pulled himself out of his seat and rushed toward the flight deck yelling to be shot” in Spanish, the document says. The heroic flight attendant pushed El Dahr into a space
President Biden slammed Border Patrol agents filmed on horseback attempting to stop migrants from crossing the Rio Grande into Texas, saying they would “pay” for their actions.
“It was horrible to see what you saw, to see people treated like they did—horses barely running them over people being strapped,” Biden said at a press conference at the White House on Friday. “It’s outrageous. I promise you those people will pay.”
Biden added, “There will be consequences. It’s an embarrassment. But beyond an embarrassment is dangerous, it’s wrong.”
A group of 13 scientists from around the world released a statement on Thursday demanding that health care providers more carefully consider using acetaminophen (APAP) on pregnant women until the drug is investigated for potentially hindering the development of a fetus inside the womb.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and ultimately, Gainesville city employees, scored a victory this week after a judge granted a temporary injunction against the city’s vaccine mandate.
Until Wednesday, Gainseville city employees risked termination if they refused to get vaccinated for the Chinese coronavirus — a rule the city commissioners voted for in August 4-3.
“People who are going to hospitals, the vast vast majority of them haven’t been vaccinated,” commissioner Adrian Hayes-Santos said at the time.
“I believe we move towards mandating vaccines for our employees so that we can ensure all of our people are healthy, they have a safe workplace, and also for the public,”

Democrats for years have claimed they've got the black, Hispanic, and Asian-American vote in the bag, and they arrogantly carried on with their agenda. One problem: The assumptions are not working anymore: It's not just one poll. Here's another from a couple days ago, according to the Daily Caller:
A new poll released Monday by Dallas Morning News found that the majority of Hispanics in Texas disapprove of President Joe Biden’s job in the Oval Office.
Only 35% of Texas Hispanic voters said they approved or strongly approved of Biden’s job as president, while 54% either disapproved or strongly disapproved, according to The Dallas Morning News.
The results from the Arizona audit are in per multiple reports, and they are going to set off a firestorm. According to Axios, who is reporting on a copy of the Cyber Ninjas findings obtained by The Washington Post, Joe Biden not only won Maricopa County, where the audit was taking place but won it by a wider margin than the official results.
Unless these reports, which are also coming from local Arizona news, are completely false, Biden will apparently be found to have garnered 360 more votes than originally counted. The official report will be out at 3 PM EDT today
The George Soros-funded Free Press is in hot water after it submitted a leftist petition to the Federal Communications Commission that included a comment that questioned if Republicans should be shot. The Free Press petition urged the FCC to “investigate its own history of racism and examine how its policy choices and actions have harmed black people and other communities of color.” The petition included the following violent comment: “How come we have racist horseshit like FOX and the other ultraconservative outlets and Christians owning most of our media. What happened to separation of church and state? Are we going to have to shoot Republican[s] to reclaim our democracy?”

Policymakers and public health officials need to be held accountable for their miserable pandemic failures. So should the media, which have no interest in objective news, and are following an agenda that is both repulsive and poisonous.
Among the media’s favorite stories of the past 18 months are the deaths of the unvaccinated and those who expressed skepticism about the lethality of the Wuhan coronavirus. A recent example is the death of a 40-year-old California woman, who, according to the British Daily Mail, “regularly posted anti-vax, anti-mask content, proclaiming herself a ‘free thinker’ who ‘questions everything.’ ” The mother of four – who also considered herself “unmuzzled”

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

The $3.5 trillion “infrastructure” package being pushed by the White House, by congressional Democrats, and by their media allies contains a subsidy for “local news” outlets that critics warn would complete the media’s transition into “state-run media.”The bill would specifically permit “local news” outlets to collect a tax credit subsidy for every “journalist” they employ.The credit would be “equal to 50%” of each journalist’s salary in the first year but reduced to “30%” going forward, with a cap of $12,500 per quarter, or $50,000 total per year. That’s a lot of money.
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.Here’s one example: (Tweet/Video) First, this is pitching class warfare — trying to demonize the rich and pit people against each other.Second, it’s straight-up untrue.From Miami Herald: By contrast, the latest data from the Congressional Budget Office shows that in 2018, the year after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) lowered taxes for every income group, the share of income taxes paid by the top 1% of taxpayers reached a near-record high of 41.7%.

Joe Biden winning the presidency may turn out very badly for the Democratic Party because success obscures problems that need fixing. If we’re winning, it’s working, the thinking goes, so there can’t be much wrong with what we’re doing. This is delusional. Making Donald Trump a one-term president seems to have ended any real effort by Democrats to stop treating ordinary people as ignorant plebs. This is unwise if you want their votes and will probably come back and bite the party as election cycles roll on.

And in the wake of the migrant surge at the border, out comes race hustler Rev. Al Sharpton from some blue city back east to Del Rio, Texas, to howl about all the supposed racism of the Border Patrol attempting to do their actual jobs, sending people breaking into the U.S. illegally back across the Rio Grande. For Sharpton, that wasn't an opportunity to opine about the humanitarian crisis and the failure of the Biden administration to protect local communities, but an opportunity to do the cuckoo-clock thing, and race bait, cynically using the fact that most of the illegal crossers were dark-skinned Haitians

Many of us remember the big stink that Joe Biden made last year when he bothered to campaign about how the Democrat would treat America’s allies so much better than that loudmouth Donald Trump who was always talking about America First. [Snip] when the president of a long-time democratic ally and an economic powerhouse, especially one from Asia where signs of respect are so revered and expected, personally gets involved in the return of soldiers’ remains, it’s a pretty big deal. Or should be. The Biden administration, however, sent no one to the ceremony, which
After months of delays and blistering criticism, a review of the 2020 election in Arizona’s largest county, ordered up and financed by Republicans, has failed to show that former President Donald J. Trump was cheated of victory, according to draft versions of the report.
In fact, the draft report from the company Cyber Ninjas found just the opposite: It tallied 99 additional votes for President Biden and 261 fewer votes for Mr. Trump in Maricopa County, the fast-growing region that includes Phoenix.
Policymakers and public health officials need to be held accountable for their miserable pandemic failures. So should the media, which have no interest in objective news, and are following an agenda that is both repulsive and poisonous.
Among the media’s favorite stories of the past 18 months are the deaths of the unvaccinated and those who expressed skepticism about the lethality of the Wuhan coronavirus. A recent example is the death of a 40-year-old California woman, who, according to the British Daily Mail, “regularly posted anti-vax, anti-mask content, proclaiming herself a ‘free thinker’ who ‘questions everything.’ ”
Here’s a question for any American who is capable of thinking past next week: Why, in the ever-loving hell, are you not out in the streets, protesting peacefully against what the Democrats in Washington are trying to do to the federal budget? (snip photo) Seriously, what is wrong with you? Why aren’t you calling for town halls? Why aren’t you forming committees? Why aren’t you calling Congress and demanding that it stop? Judging by its current behavior, the federal government has decided to completely give up on reality.
Jake Sullivan, national security adviser in the Biden administration, may be guilty of perjury related to the Hillary Clinton campaign’s dirty tricks against Donald Trump. Last week, Michael A. Sussmann, a partner at Perkins Coie, a law firm representing the Hillary campaign and the Democratic National Committee, was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of making false statements to the FBI about his clients and their motives behind planting the rumor, at the highest levels of the FBI, of a secret Trump-Russia server.
Democrats on the New York City Council are eyeing a plan to allow nearly a million non-citizens the ability to vote in local city elections.The plan, backed by 34 Democrats on the 51-member New York City Council, would allow non-citizens with green cards, visas, and work authorization to vote in city elections so long as they have resided in New York City for at least 30 consecutive days.The plan indicates that legal immigrants on green cards or an employment visa who have lived in New York City for at least a month would be able to vote for mayor, comptroller, public advocate borough presidents, council members, and
SCOOP: Playbook has learned that during an intense meeting at the White House on Wednesday, Rep. PRAMILA JAYAPAL (D-Wash.) broke into tears while arguing her case to President JOE BIDEN that the reconciliation bill should include a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, essential workers and farm workers.
During the Oval Office meeting, several prominent Hill progressives argued forcefully for a robust reconciliation package. Jayapal, who leads the Congressional Progressive Caucus, advocated for the inclusion of major immigration provisions, and toward that end, used her own story as a selling point.
A U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) employee was caught on tape advocating for a Nazi-like response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with forced vaccinations, and a registry for all unvaccinated Americans.
In Part Two of Project Veritas’ COVID vaccine investigative series, FDA economist Taylor Lee literally called for the United States government to emulate Nazi Germany to force the COVID injections on vaccine skeptics.

Brand’: ‘Sucking Up’
to Him ‘Not a Strategy That Works’ replies
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is warning the Republican Party that staying in former President Donald Trump’s thrall will not lead to a viable political future.
The Lexington Herald-Leader obtained a preview of Peril, the upcoming book from Bob Woodward and Robert Costa that has already produced a multitude of explosive details on Trump’s last days in office. According to the new excerpt, McConnell is encouraging the GOP to move away from Trumpism, calling the ex-president “a fading brand. Retired. OTTB as they say in Kentucky — off-the-track Thoroughbred.”
“There is a clear trend moving,” McConnell said. “Sucking up to Donald Trump is not a strategy that works.”
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said former President Donald Trump should stop peddling conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was stolen, arguing that the claims are inconsistent with putting America first and damage the Republican Party’s efforts to blunt President Joe Biden’s agenda.
“I think it would be better if he accepted the results of the 2020 election. And I think that would be better for the country. There hasn't been any type of substantive evidence that has come forward,” the former two-term governor and Republican 2024 contender said during a virtual appearance at the annual Texas Tribune Festival.
Jonathan Mellis, a detainee from January 6th, wrote us from solitary confinement last week.
Mellis has been detained without bond since his arrest in February. In May, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan denied his request to be released from custody for a week so he could attend his father’s funeral.
Here is the direct letter from Jonathan Mellis addressing the American people:
“My name in Jonathan Mellis. I am a January 6 Capitol detainee being held in the DC jail. In the last 7 months I have experienced and witnessed the most inhumane and hateful treatment of my 34 years of life.
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.
Per phone conversation I met with #2 son. He wants $2 per year retainer +++ success fees. He wants to hire his own people –
A new report from the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools shows what a great advertisement American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten and her more radical members provided for school choice. After more than a year of school closures, Zoom classes, and battles over critical race theory, parents are increasingly taking their children out of public schools. The study looked at enrollment shifts between the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years.
Their analysis shows that 1.45 million children left traditional public schools. Charter schools gained 237,000 students in the same period. The difference is made up by families choosing private schools or homeschooling

There’s something so satisfying about seeing liberals in a sissy slap fight with other liberals – you just want to grab up a bowl of popcorn, pop some frosty brews, and egg them on. The good news is that there’s going to be more of this coming because of the nature of the Democrat coalition – it is less an ideological alliance than a bunch of interest groups united by their shared perception that the GOP is against what is in their respective interests. When their interests collide, which they will necessarily do, then the fun begins.
Look at Washington, where the caucus kept in line by the Scat Francisco dominatrix
