Do We Still ‘Hold These Truths’?
Posted By: Imright, 6/18/2023 8:28:22 AM
In about three weeks, we will once again be celebrating the Fourth of July, America’s Independence Day. But what are we really celebrating? For all too many Americans, the Fourth of July is just another summer holiday, albeit one with fireworks. Of course, most Americans dimly recollect that it was on this day, sometime in the distant past, that Americans declared their independence from Great Britain. But they seldom stop to reflect on the true revolution that the Fourth of July signifies: the Declaration of Independence and the creation of a nation based on a universal idea. As Alexander Hamilton put it in the Federalist,

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,
Special Counsel Jack Smith leaked another report to The New York Times on Wednesday night.
This comes after the House Oversight Committee produced $17 million in bank receipts and witness testimony in the Biden Family bribery, corruption, and influence peddling schemes with foreign regimes.
Jack Smith is likely to use the same Civil War Civil Rights Violation that Merrick Garland and the DOJ has been using to send January 6 protesters to prison for years for non-violent crimes.
Again, this leak was reported Wednesday night after the damning testimony from this afternoon.
A Pfizer factory in North Carolina was destroyed by a tornado on Wednesday, leaving 50,000 pallets of medicines strewn across the site in the rain and the roof crumpled and twisted by 150mph winds.
Officials in two counties say 16 people were injured - including two with life-threatening wounds- and 89 buildings were damaged as storms passed through North Carolina.
The tornado started near Nashville, North Carolina, around 12:35pm and swept northeast through Rocky Mount, 60 miles east of Raleigh, where it devastated the Pfizer facility.
CNBC’s Scott Cohn portrays himself on Twitter, not as some progressive commentator, but as simply a “journalist.” However, on Friday, Cohn released two articles: one on the top ten states to “live and work in” and one for the bottom ten. Despite all the migration out of blue states and into red states, Cohn’s top ten was exclusively blue, while his bottom ten was exclusively red.
Right away it was obvious that Cohn started with a predetermined conclusion that red states are terrible, defining liberal policies on social issues to be positive, “The study measures quality of life issues including crime, health care, childcare and health care, as well as
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.
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) dismissed President Biden’s age being an issue on the campaign trail on Wednesday, despite many Americans believing he’s too old to be commander-in-chief.
During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” with hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, Pelosi, an 83-year-old congresswoman, defended the president and touted his tenure by saying the country has been “very well-served” by his time in office. She insisted that age should not be an issue with 80-year-old Biden, arguing that it’s “relative.”
Tucker Carlson slammed Hunter Biden for 'degrading' himself with sex and drugs - and also took a vicious pot shot at Jill Biden, while discussing his own past alcoholism.
The former Fox News host pulled no punches in Chadwick Moore's new biography, Tucker, set to be released on August 1, which sees the fired Fox News star interviewed about his life and views.
Carlson said: 'Look at Hunter, no matter what you now think of him or the family as public figures, the guy really hurt his daughters and his wonderful wife, totally wrecked her life, humiliated his father, whom he really loves.
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.'Should we be displaying this?' Democratic Ranking Member Jaime Raskin questioned at one point during crosstalk with other members of the panel.
The House Oversight Committee led by Rep. James Comer (R-KY) held a hearing with IRS whistleblowers on Wednesday.
Two IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley, and Joseph Ziegler, testified on the government prosecutors’ preferential treatment of Hunter Biden.
Gary Shapley said Biden-appointed US Attorneys blocked charges against Hunter Biden.
Shapley’s testimony lines up with what whistleblower X, identified as Joseph Ziegler, said on Wednesday.
The mystery surrounding the identity of Whistleblower X ended Wednesday when Joseph Ziegler, who has worked with the IRS since 2010, appeared before Congress to claim that Hunter Biden received preferential treatment in the investigation into his financial dealings.
At the same time, a pre-recorded interview with Ziegler was released in which he said that anytime the IRS tried to look into President Joe Biden, agents were told 'we can't ask those questions.'
Ahead of his appearance, the name plate 'Mr. Ziegler' was placed at the witness table next to whistleblower and IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley's spot.
In his testimony to the Oversight Committee on Wednesday, Ziegler identified himself

Scandal: ‘First Family Should Submit
to Drug Test’ 11 replies
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 2020 election results in Michigan were some of the most hotly contested in the United States. The Gateway Pundit shared multiple videos showing surveillance footage that shocked Michigan residents and people across the United States, who believed they were likely watching mass-organized voter fraud take place on camera.
Curiously, MI AG Dana Nessel and Michigan’s Soros-funded SOS Jocelyn Benson didn’t feel compelled to investigate any of the videos that went viral after the Gateway Pundit made them public.

Senate Republicans Despise Their Voters

Lisa Murkowski is the perfect mascot for Senate Republicans. She is a Democrat in all but name, an aristocrat who inherited her office, and a beneficiary of rigged elections. She has more in common with Nancy Pelosi than the average Republican voter, and every time Alaskan Republicans attempt to throw her out of office, Mitch McConnell's minions manipulate the rules to save her.
For McConnell, Murkowski is another beholden senator kept securely in his pocket who will vote how he wants on any given day.
The US soldier who ran across the border into North Korea Tuesday was facing multiple assault allegations as well as a fine for damaging a police vehicle. Army Private 2nd Class Travis King, 23, was accused of punching a man several times in the face at a club on September 25 last year, Seoul court records indicate. Two weeks later, on October 8, Korean authorities responded to another dust-up involving King, who was allegedly displaying “aggressive behavior,” according to the court documents. When police put him in the backseat of the patrol car, King reportedly spouted expletives and insults aimed

NEW YORK -- There are new developments in New York City's struggle to house recently arrived asylum seekers.
Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday the city has been carrying the weight of the nation's crisis and now there is no longer space for new people coming in, citing the absence of state or federal aid.
He said he has put a plan in place that will begin in the next couple of days to help move current migrants out of shelters to make space for families arriving with children. With an average of 300 to 500 people still arriving daily, the mayor said the city will begin providing 60-day

Funds over Failure to Provide Safety,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has suspended the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s eligibility to receive federal funding after the lab failed to turn in requested documents about safety and security measures.
HHS issued a memo on Monday notifying the lab of its decision and warning that it is also seeking to permanently blacklist the lab from receiving future taxpayer funds. The lab hasn’t received funds from the National Institutes of Health since July 2020.
The lab can challenge the suspension and proposed debarment.
The move comes after the agency found in a review that began last September that the facility was not compliant

You have no choice but Trump

A year ago, Matt K. Lewis, a Senior Columnist at the Daily Beast, did a column of concern trolling called, “‘Anybody but Trump’ Is the Only Way Forward for the GOP.”
Lewis wrote, “The GOP’s never been closer to moving on from Donald Trump.
“The Jan 6. Committee hearings, coupled with Trump’s mixed record of midterm primary endorsements, have left the 45th president bloodied and bruised even in the eyes of loyal Republican voters. And that’s generating speculation that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis may eventually supplant Trump as the party’s standard bearer.” (Snip)
The second question is this: Is Donald Trump a uniquely dangerous person?
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?

‘Don’t See How He Could Be Found Criminally Responsible’ 12 replies
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) came to Trump’s defense over reports that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has been weighing potential charges against the former president for his alleged conduct during the January 6, 2021 riot on Capitol Hill.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, the U.S. House Speaker said he does not see any reason for the former president to be found criminally responsible for January 6.
“I don’t see how he could be found criminally responsible,” McCarthy said. “What criminal activity did he do? He told people to be peaceful.”
This past Sunday, the former president revealed on Truth Social that he would have to appear before a grand jury this week
