Former President Trump railed against the legal system and judges in a bitter statement released Tuesday after Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann was found not guilty of lying to the FBI.Mr. Trump took aim at some of his favorite targets, including the Biden administration, immigration and election integrity, in a short but scathing post on his social media site, Truth Social.“Our legal system is corrupt, our judges (and Justices!) are highly partisan, compromised or just plain scared, our borders are OPEN, our Elections are Rigged, Inflation is RAMPANT, gas prices and food costs are ‘through the roof,’
Supreme Court law clerks are being asked to turn over their personal cell phone records and sign affidavits as the search ramps up for the person who leaked the draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade.Language of the affidavits and what the scope of the cell phone search will be are not yet clear, sources familiar with the efforts told CNN – but the potential of handing over their personal devices have clerks exploring their options, including hiring outside counsel.
Considering the crack down on law clerks, it's likely the court has not yet been successful in determining the source of the breach.
Another day, another blood-soaked weekend in Lori Lightfoot’s Chiraq, a city that seems intent on proving how far America has fallen and that American cities can be just as violent as Fallujah, Najaf, or Baghdad during the height of the Iraq insurgency.Such was the case this weekend; as the nation focused on the horror show in Uvalde, where police sat by and watched as 19 students and 2 teachers were murdered over the course of an hour inside an elementary school, far more people were shot in what was just a normal weekend in Lori Lightfoot’s Chiraq.There, as Breitbart noted, the Memorial Day weekend got off to
Nancy Pelosi’s husband killed his older brother when he flipped his sports car in California — 65 years before he was arrested over the weekend and charged with drunk driving, newspaper clippings show.Paul Pelosi was 16 when he crashed his car near San Mateo in the early hours of Feb. 22, 1957, the Daily Mail reported, citing a local news report from the time.His brother, David Pelosi, 19, was likely strangled by a neck brace he had been wearing due to a previous neck fracture, according to the San Francisco Examiner report.Paul, who suffered a broken collarbone in the wreck, called for help after breaking free from his car,
President Joe Biden warmly welcomed New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to the White House on Tuesday, expressing his interest in her views on gun control and online censorship in her country.“We need your guidance,” Biden said as he welcomed Ardern to the Oval Office. “And it’s a pleasure to see you in person.”He praised the prime minister warmly for making progress on issues like climate change, combatting “violent extremism online,” and gun control.“You understand that your leadership has taken a critical role on this global change, it really has,” he said.
It's the political deep dive du jour that's going viral. NBC News is out with a lengthy piece outlining the struggles of the Biden White House. You can read the whole thing here. It strikes me as something of an effort to spin things for the failing administration, while simultaneously delivering a devastating assessment. Let's walk through it together, passage by passage:(1) The story begins by relaying that the president is "rattled by" his low approval numbers and is casting about for a better messaging strategy. Messaging is not his problem, however. His problem is results.
President Joe Biden is meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell at the White House Tuesday for the first time since taking office in January 2021. The meeting comes as inflation wreaks havoc on American families with prices on essential items continuing to skyrocket. (Tweet) The meeting marks a new strategy by the White House to focus on the issue, with allies in the media deflecting blame from Democrats. (Tweet) But during an interview with 60 Minutes last year, Powell explained how the Federal Reserve "flooded the system" with printed money -- digital and physical -- to pay for Biden's big spending agenda.
James Biden dismissed the idea that he acted as a 'fixer' during his brother Joe Biden's political career but instead used a rare interview to say that he had always tried to help his family as much as possible. Republican lawmakers have signaled that they want to probe the business affairs of the president's younger brother.And emails from Hunter Biden's laptop reveal further detail of how he was involved with his nephew in a lucrative deal with Chinese executives in 2017.The result has been a string of reports that James - known as 'Jim' or 'Jimmy' inside the Biden family - has tried to cash in on the family name,
Former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann has been found not guilty of lying to the FBI in the first trial of Special Counsel John Durham's investigation into what sparked the investigation of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. It's one of just two indictments in Durham's three-year inquiry into the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe, spurred by allegations that Trump's 2016 campaign got help from Russia. After just six hours of deliberation, a jury rejected Durham's claim that Sussmann lied to federal agents when sending them dirt on Trump's alleged links to Moscow.

A reportedly frustrated and furious President Joe Biden feels that his aides are undermining him by rushing to re-explain his remarks, sources told NBC News.White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates pushed back against this NBC report in a Tuesday morning statement to The Daily Wire, noting that NBC buried the White House’s denial that Biden is feeling frustrated 28 graphs into its story.“As we’ve said before, no clarifications of the President’s remarks are ever issued without his direct approval,” Bates told The Daily Wire.

Pope Francis on Sunday named as cardinal San Diego Bishop Robert W. McElroy, a Roman Catholic leader who had spoken out against the calls for bishops to exclude pro-choice politicians like President Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from Holy Communion over their stances on abortion.
The move comes in the wake of San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone's announcement earlier this month that he would bar Pelosi from receiving Holy Communion due to her stance on abortion. In naming McElroy, Francis passed over Cordileone, who holds a higher rank.
Joe Biden on Monday suggested he wants to ban “high caliber” 9mm handguns in remarks to reporters on the South Lawn.
“And they showed me an x-ray – he said, ‘a 22-caliber bullet will lodge in a lung and we can probably get it out.. and maybe save a life. A 9mm bullet, blows the lung out of the body,'” Biden said of his trip to Uvalde, Texas.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has finished its annual conference in Davos, Switzerland, with a grim warning about the future of the planet and the threats posed by a reliance on meat protein in everyday diets. The answer? Consumers urgently need to turn away from the grill, change their eating habits and embrace vegan alternatives to meat. These include grains and seaweed, algae, cacti, and even avocado seeds alongside a host of other “climate beneficial foods” and meat-free protein sources that will save the planet from destruction.(Snip)There is no record of exactly what was served to the 2,500 invited delegates dining at the elite gathering in Davos
Washington—A federal jury on Tuesday found former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann not guilty of lying to the FBI — finding special counsel John Durham did not prove his case beyond a reasonable doubt. The verdict by a jury in heavily Democratic-leaning DC, came midway through the second day of deliberations following a two-week trial on a single count of making false statements to a federal agent. Durham’s prosecution team unsuccessfully sought to prove that Sussmann deliberately lied to then-FBI general counsel James Baker by claiming not to be acting on behalf of the Clinton campaign and an internet executive when the two met in 2016.
(Tweet) Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks with reporters in Ottawa following his government’s tabling of new legislation on gun control. He is joined by federal ministers Marco Mendicino (public safety), David Lametti (justice), Marci Ien (women and gender equality and youth), and Bill Blair (emergency preparedness), as well as several victims of gun violence.

George Will on Biden's 'achievement'
37 replies
George Will’s recent column reviewing the first 500 days of the Biden presidency includes praise for the president’s “deft diplomacy” and “stunning achievement” in the administration’s response to Ukraine. According to Will, Biden’s diplomacy is substantially responsible for nudging Germany to play a larger geopolitical role and persuading Finland to join NATO, thus extending the alliance’s reach to more than 800 miles of Russia’s border. Biden, he writes, has revised the concept of the West, but Will writes that Biden’s achievement will not earn him political dividends because “what Americans usually want in foreign policy is as little as possible.”
I don't know what else you'd call this -- Pope Francis naming the Church's strongest and most outspoken progressive, San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy a Cardinal -- other than a war on conservative Catholics, with whom the Holy Father already takes a very dim view.
Here's the news:
Bishop Robert McElroy of San Diego, one of Pope Francis' ideological allies who has often sparred with more conservative U.S. bishops, was named by the pope on Sunday as one of 21 new cardinals.
The San Diego diocese said McElroy will be installed by Pope Francis on August 27 at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
Winning a cardinal's hat doesn't outrank the archbishop's mitre,

WASHINGTON — Still mourning a Texas mass shooting, Democrat Beto O'Rourke gave his long-shot campaign a jolt by imploring a national audience that it was finally time for real action to curb the proliferation of high-powered guns in his home state and across America. That was 2019, and the former congressman was running for president when he declared during a debate, “Hell yes, we’re gonna take your AR-15,” weeks after a gunman targeting Mexican immigrants killed 23 people at a Wal-Mart in O'Rourke's native El Paso. Last week, following the massacre of 19 elementary school students and two teachers by

Fish off the coast of Florida are testing positive for a slew of pharmaceuticals as human wastewater makes its way out into the sea.Researchers at Florida International University and the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust - a nonprofit based in Miami and focused on bonefish and tarpon conservation - studied the two types of fish found in Biscayne Bay and the Florida Keys since 2018.They collected blood and tissue samples from 93 bonefish and tarpon in the area, and found that each one had an average of seven drugs in its system - including antidepressants, blood pressure medications, prostate treatment medications, antibiotics and pain relievers.
WASHINGTON — When President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden disagree, they don't hash it out in front of other people. Instead, she says, they argue by text — “fexting” as they call it. Jill Biden also told Harper's Bazaar magazine in an interview that her divorce from her first husband taught her to be independent and that she has drilled that lesson into her daughter and granddaughters. (Snip) After she recently texted him in a fit of pique, he told her, "'You realize that’s going to go down in history. There will be a record of that,’” she
