Marie Antoinette, the beheaded wife of the beheaded French Bourbon King Charles Louis XVI, did not really say “Let them cake.” But in the short time that the French Revolution became utterly unhinged, toxic, and nihilistic, she became nonetheless iconic as an out-of-touch elite who had lived in a make-believe world at Versailles, without a clue (or care?) about the ordeal of the masses. Rather than worry about the drudgery of the French peasant, Marie dressed up as one. And she roamed about in her idyllic faux peasant “farm” at the Hameau de la Reine, near the palace at Versailles. Apparently, during these brief rustic interludes, Marie felt

President Joe Biden fist-bumped the Israeli delegation as he arrived Wednesday in Tel Aviv after the White House was forced to confirm Israeli media reports that said the U.S. president would limit shaking hands during his first trip to the Middle East.
The White House said it was an uptick in COVID cases - and not forthcoming interactions with the controversial Saudi crown prince - that triggered the decision to limit Biden shaking hands.
And so upon his arrival at the Ben Gurion Airport, Biden went down the line of Israel's leaders -
A defiant Steve Bannon was loaded for bear, delivering fiery remarks after he reversed course on providing testimony to the Liz Cheney-Nancy Pelosi January 6 kangaroo court, daring the committee to allow him to testify in public and vowing to go “medieval” on the panel if given the opportunity.
During the latest edition of his “War Room” podcast, the former White House chief strategist whose trial for contempt of Congress is set to begin next week, dared the committee to take up his challenge, potentially setting up the first must-see television performance of the ongoing Soviet-style show trial of former President Trump and his associates by Pelosi’s stacked board of vicious
Barack Obama sent a scathing email to an ex-White House doctor to stop his 'unprofessional behavior' after he posted a 'cheap shot' Tweet about President Joe Biden's cognitive health.
Republican Representative Ronny Jackson made statements about 'the concerning mental gaffes' of 79-year-old Biden. But as the former White House physician to Bush, Obama and Trump, he was qualified to make the criticisms, leading Obama to send a furious message to defend his Democratic colleague.
In his new book, Holding the Line: A Lifetime of Defending Democracy and American Values', the Texas representative wrote of the 2020 campaign season: 'Biden was on TV again, making crazy statements and concerning mental gaffes;
President Biden lashed out a reporter who asked what he would say to Democrats who don’t want him to run for a second term Tuesday — insisting that the party is behind him despite a recent survey showing nearly two-thirds of its voters want a different nominee in 2024.
“They want me to run,” Biden, 79, said during the White House Congressional Picnic. “Read the poll. Read the polls, Jack. You guys are all the same. That poll showed that 92% of Democrats, if I ran, would vote for me.”
“A majority of Democrats say they don’t want you to run again in 2024,” a member of the press retorted.

Foreign Workers to Compete Against Americans

President Joe Biden is bragging about the “record” number of foreign visa workers his administration has brought to the United States to compete for working and middle class jobs against unemployed Americans.
During a press conference with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), Biden bragged that his Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has created a steady flow to the U.S. of foreign workers on agricultural H-2A and nonagricultural H-2B visas.
“Last year, my administration set a record — we issued more than 300,000 H-2 visas for Mexican workers,” Biden said. “We also reached a five-year high in the visas we issued to Central Americans, and we’re on pace to
Democrats are facing their worst political environment in over a decade heading into November’s mid-term elections. Republicans lead the generic ballot and hold a solid structural advantage in competing for the House of Representatives. And despite concerns about candidate quality, the GOP is also favored to take control of the Senate.
The correlation between presidential approval and their party’s mid-term prospects also can’t be ignored. Joe Biden has hit the lowest poll numbers of his term, with a recent Times/Siena poll showing him at just 33 percent approval with only 13 percent believing the country is on the right track.

WASHINGTON — Stanford University law professor Pamela Karlan, best known for her 2019 testimony in favor of impeaching then-President Donald Trump, quietly left the Justice Department this month as a conservative group ratcheted up attacks on an “unethical” arrangement in which she continued to earn nearly $1 million a year from Stanford while working for the government.
Karlan joined the department on Feb. 8, 2021, shortly after President Biden’s inauguration, and served about 17 months as principal deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights before she departed on July 1 with little fanfare.
President Joe Biden is not paying attention to the negative polling published in recent days that showed 64 percent of Democratic voters want someone else to run in 2024.
Biden, 79, hosted hundreds of lawmakers and their families at the first congressional picnic at the White House in three years in desperate attempt at bridging the divide between Republicans and Democrats.
At the event, Biden responded to a reporter's question about the recent New York Times and Siena College poll saying: 'They want me to run.' He continued: 'Read the polls. Read the polls. You guys are all the same.'
Biden pointed out that the poll also showed that 92 percent
Berkeley Law Professor Khiara Bridges accused Sen. Josh Hawley of 'opening up trans people to violence' after the Missouri Republican pressed her to say that only women could get pregnant in a heated squabble during a Senate committee hearing Tuesday.
'You've used a phrase I want to make sure I understand what you mean by it. You've referred to 'people with a capacity for pregnancy.' Would that be women?' Hawley asked during a Senate Judiciary Committee on abortion rights.
'Many women, cis women, have the capacity for pregnancy.
As we reported previously, the Democrats are making some interesting arguments during a hearing on abortion in the Senate. That is to say, they’re wandering into trainwreck territory with one of the witnesses they put on — Khiara Bridges, who is a law professor at UC Berkeley School of Law.
Bridges accused Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) of being transphobic because he asked if she meant “women” when she used the term “people with a capacity for pregnancy.” The professor then said he was opening up trans people to violence by the nature of his question.
But she didn’t leave it there, she went full-bore unhinged. She had a fit with
Former President Donald Trump canceled his rally and appearances Friday in Greensboro, North Carolina, as Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. and his daughter Ivanka Trump are scheduled to testify under oath Friday in New York in a probe of the Trump Organization.
The event's organizers had cited "unforeseen circumstances" for the postponement, which was first reported by The News & Observer in Raleigh.
A spokesperson for the American Freedom Tour confirmed to local media that the event was postponed for another date that is still to be determined.
On Monday morning TGP contributor Cara Castronuova released whistleblower documents, text messages, and audio transcripts of FBI informant James Knowles’s communications with his FBI handlers on January 6. The evidence exonerates Trump supporters and the Proud Boys of any conspiracy or planning to storm the US Capitol, to enter the US Capitol, or to overthrow official proceedings.
This evidence was first reported by Cara at The Gateway Pundit.
The “planned insurrection” was a lie.
Now we have the proof!

The US has inflicted more than $1.9tn in damage to other countries from the effects of its greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new analysis that has provided the first measurement of nations’ liability in stoking the climate crisis. The huge volume of planet-heating gases pumped out by the US, the largest historical emitter, has caused such harm to other, mostly poor, countries through heatwaves, crop failures and other consequences that the US is responsible for $1.91tn in lost global income since 1990, the study found. This puts the US ahead of China, currently the world’s leading emitter, Russian, India and Brazil as the next largest contributors to global

CNN contributor and Republican consultant Scott Jennings predicts that former President Donald Trump will announce an early Presidential bid to prevent Florida Governor Ron DeSantis from running in 2024.
Jennings observed that given DeSantis’ popularity, specifically with conservatives across the country, he is a Trump-like figure without the baggage. Jennings said:
“I definitely think there are a lot of Republicans out there who voted for Donald Trump twice, maybe gave him money, wanted to see him succeed who know we cannot drag the country and the party through this again in 2024, that he’s the least likely Republican to have a chance to win the White House …

The Brittney Griner story has been one which tears at us from two sides. When we hear about an American being detained in a foreign country for offenses which are considered minor here in the U.S., we often become sympathetic, depending on the infraction, of course. And when we learn that the country holding that prisoner is an archrival or enemy such as China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia, our sympathies become that much stronger.
In the case of Brittney Griner, however, things aren’t that simple. Griner, who has been detained in a Russian prison since her arrest at a Moscow airport for possession of cannabis oil
Shocking video footage has emerged of a young child repeatedly hitting a Minnesota cop who was there to arrest a murder suspect — calling the officer a “b—h” and telling his colleague to “shut the f–k up!”
The clip released by Alpha News was filmed last week in St. Paul, a city that saw widespread rioting after the nearby police murder of George of Floyd and manslaughter of motorist Daunte Wright.
“Shut up, b—h!” screamed the young child, who appeared to be only a few years old and wearing just underwear while standing in the street, with an even younger child in a diaper just behind him.

A majority of Democrat voters say the Supreme Court should be abolished for its racist and misogynistic practices, according to a recent poll commissioned by the Heartland Institute.
In addition, 54 percent of young people aged 19 to 39 concur, regardless of their political association.
The survey of 1,025 U.S. voters was divided among party lines, with 53 percent of Democrats in favor of abolishing the current Supreme Court and replacing it with a “new, democratically elected . . . court with justices chosen by the American people directly,” and 33 percent “strongly” in favor. Only 21 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of independents favored the ill-advised proposition.
Pro-abortion fanatic Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has called to shut down crisis pregnancy centers “all around the country” for their work in helping women seek alternatives to abortion.
Speaking with reporters, a visibly upset Warren falsely accused crisis pregnancy centers of fooling women out of getting an abortion: In Massachusetts, right now, those ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ that are there to fool people who are looking for pregnancy termination help outnumber true abortion clinics by 3-t0-1. We need to shut them down here in Massachusetts and we need to shut them down all around the country.

With the blazingly contagious BA.5 coronavirus variant blitzing communities across the nation, the White House on Tuesday pleaded with middle-aged and elderly Americans to get a fresh vaccine if they have not. “For people who are 50 years of age or older, my message is simple,” Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House COVID coordinator, said at a virtual news briefing. “If you have not gotten a vaccine shot in the year 2022—if you have not gotten one this year—please go get another vaccine shot.” Jha said summer shots will not prevent Americans from getting a strain-specific jab in the fall. “It could save your life,”
Elon Musk said former President Donald Trump should not run for a second term, arguing that he’s too old and “too much drama.”
The Tesla CEO, who had vowed to reinstate Trump’s Twitter account before he moved to terminate the $44 billion acquisition of the social media giant, responded late Monday to a Twitter post from Breitbart News that included a clip of Trump slamming the tech mogul as “another bullsh-t artist.”
“I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset,” the world’s richest person tweeted in response to Trump’s comments.
