Are Democrats and Joe Biden up to their
old election tricks?
Posted By: Imright, 4/25/2022 2:44:48 AM
Over the last 16 tortuous months of the Biden presidency, it’s become clear that the Democrats are running on empty.They are not even trying to reset their electorally poisonous policies.Politically this means they are heading for annihilation at the midterms. Yet they appear curiously relaxed, as if winning elections is no longer a priority. One thing you know is that the Dems are not hiding under the duvet sucking their thumbs. Like the Fantastic Mr. Fox, they have a cunning plan.They might not be any good at governing, but when it comes to seizing power by foul means or fair, they are world-class.

On Monday, the Supreme Court of the United States heard oral arguments in the case of Joseph Kennedy, a junior varsity head coach from Washington state’s Bremerton School District who was fired in 2015 after praying at the 50-yard line after games.The justices will reportedly be looking at two separate issues in the case before issuing their ruling. First, whether the coach praying by himself within view of others including students amounted to unprotected “government speech,” and second, if it is not, in fact, unprotected “government speech,” would it still present issues under the First Amendment, specifically the Establishment Clause?
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.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.
A Rhode Island teacher is under fire after tweeting that he explained to all five of his classes that Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter is the "worse thing that could have happened." "Of course I explained to my students in all five of my classes today why Elon Musk buying off Twitter is the worse [sic] thing that could have happened," Enrique Sanchez tweeted Monday afternoon.

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.“I really don’t have more detail or information on them,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters
Vice President Kamala Harris quickly learned not to come between President Biden and his negotiations with Congress, when the president once snapped at her so harshly even Republican senators in the meeting were shocked.In a meeting last May, Biden tried to persuade Republican lawmakers to support $1 trillion in infrastructure spending. And while Biden was ready for a compromise, Harris thought the bill was skimpy. 'Harris thought that there was something missing from the conversation,' New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns wrote in their book,
Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is going into his November re-election bid having racked up more than $105 million in donations, the most recent campaign data show. The popular GOP official has been floated as a potential 2024 presidential nominee, and his massive war chest at the end of March is more typical of a national candidate than one running for state office. He's the first gubernatorial candidate in Florida history to pull in nine figures through donations alone -- 138,221 of them, according to campaign filings.
Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill on Monday creating a state police unit that will specialize in election-related crimes.The law establishes the Office of Election Crimes and Security, which will have 15 members whose work will include preliminary investigations of election fraud. DeSantis must also appoint up to ten law enforcement officers to investigate election crimes with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.The law also makes ballot harvesting a felony instead of a misdemeanor, and raises fines on organizations that violate election laws from $1,000 to $50,000.

The progressive left’s worst nightmare became a reality when billionaire Elon Musk bought Twitter, a day that will live in infamy for Democrats and their shock troops and the idea that free speech will be restored appears to be of major concern to the White House. (Video) During Monday’s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki reacted to Musk’s takeover of the social media giant with her answer suggesting that there could be political moves coming to counter Musk’s relaxing of the censorship of conservatives, an alarming prospect for her party’s control over the narrative.
The bedwetters on the Left have been worried that their favorite villain, Donald Trump, will be allowed back on Twitter now that Elon Musk has control over the social media platform. Among them is Meathead, also known as Rob Reiner, who whined, “the question for all of us is: Will he allow a Criminal who used this platform to lie and spread disinformation to try to overthrow the US Government to return and continue his Criminal activity? And if he does, how do we combat it?” To which musician John Rich attempted to talk him off the ledge. “Calm down Rob, I’m sure he’ll let Hillary stay on.”

China is Tesla's second largest market,

Harvard University President Lawrence Bacow announced Tuesday that the university will spend $100 million to study and redress its ties to slavery.
The funds will be put toward a “Legacy of Slavery Fund” to continue researching and memorializing the history, in part by working with descendants of black and Native American people enslaved at Harvard and their broader communities. The announcement follows the release of a report from the Presidential Initiative on Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery project, which Bacow commissioned in 2019.

Russia's top diplomat has warned that NATO is now fighting a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine and there is a 'very serious' risk the conflict could turn nuclear. Sergei Lavrov, speaking on Russian state TV last night, accused western leaders of risking a third world war by supplying heavy weapons to Ukraine with the goal of 'wearing down the Russian army'—an aim he described as an 'illusion'. Accusing NATO and its allies of attempting to bully Russia on the international stage, Lavrov said that tensions between east and west are now worse than during the Cuban missile crisis at the height of the Cold War. Asked directly about
Vice President Kamala Harris has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House announced Tuesday. Harris, who is fully vaccinated and twice boosted, has not been a close contact of the president or first lady, White House press secretary Kirsten Allen insisted. “Today, Vice President Harris tested positive for COVID-19 on rapid and PCR tests,” Allen said in a statement. “She has not been a close contact to the President or First Lady due to their respective recent travel schedules.

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.
Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter already has produced at least one liberal casualty. Shaun King apparently quit the platform after having claimed earlier in the day that Mr. Musk wanted to buy the platform to advance “white power.” “At its root, @ElonMusk wanting to purchase Twitter is not about left vs right. It’s about white power. The man was raised in Apartheid by a white nationalist. He’s upset that Twitter won’t allow white nationalists to target/harass people. That’s his definition of free speech,” King tweeted just after 9 a.m. Monday, as rumors were circulating of the imminent purchase. In another tweet, the Black Lives Matter activist noted that Mr. Musk
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.(Snip)But the president's financial filings reveal that he declared almost $7million 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.

Twitter employees reacted with shock and dismay Monday as a new reality sank in: Elon Musk — the world’s richest man, free speech defender and strong critic of Twitter — would be the company’s new owner.
