Retiring West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin
Leaves Democratic Party, Files as Independent
Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/31/2024 1:12:31 PM
Retiring West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is leaving the Democratic Party and has formally registered in his state as an independent, stoking speculation he may run for elected office again in November. “Today, our national politics are broken and neither party is willing to compromise to find common ground,” Manchin said in a statement issued shortly after West Virginia radio host Hoppy Kercheval broke the news. “To stay true to myself and remain committed to put country before party, I have decided to register as an independent with no party affiliation and continue to fight for America’s sensible majority.”

Well, well, well. It shouldn't surprise me, but it still kinda does.
After losing half its readers and hundreds of millions of dollars, the Bezos-owned newspaper is radically shifting strategies.
Sally Buzbee, the author of this absolute disaster, no doubt left under her own steam to spend more time with her family or something similarly false and anodyne-sounding. It certainly had nothing to do with the wreckage of a once-great and respected news outlet.
Buzbee does leave a legacy to be proud of: she was the first female to lead the newspaper, proving that DEI hiring certainly has an impact to be proud of.
Just a few weeks ago President Biden said that he has done all he can to handle the southern border. He said his hands were tied. Only Congress can straighten out the mess he deliberately created on his first day in office.
That is a lie, of course. The man who opened up the southern border through executive action is capable of reversing his executive actions. He knows it. He thinks you are stupid.
The Biden border crisis is intentional. 5,084,568 illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border since Biden took office, according to CBP. There is no way to count the number of gotaways so that number isn't included.
First Lady Jill Biden showed up to a Delaware courthouse on Monday to support first son Hunter Biden on the first day of his gun trial. President Joe Biden, meanwhile, issued a statement from his Wilmington beach house expressing support for Hunter but declining to comment on the three federal charges he faces, which stem from a firearm purchase the younger Biden made in 2018 as he battled crack-cocaine addiction.
“I am the President, but I am also a Dad. Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today,” he said. “Hunter’s resilience in the face of adversity and the strength
Former President Donald Trump arrived at the UFC 302, a mixed martial arts event held in Newark, New Jersey, to “thunderous applause” from the crowd, days after his conviction.
As Trump was seen walking to his seat with Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), he stopped to shake hands with several people in the crowd and received a round of applause from the crowd. Trump’s appearance at the UFC 302 match at the Prudential Center between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier comes after a Manhattan jury found him guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree related to payments made to adult entertainment
Former President Donald Trump may be banned from the United Kingdom, Canada, and other countries should his felony conviction hold up.
Last week, a 12-person jury in Manhattan found the former president guilty on 34 counts for falsifying records to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. The former president will likely appeal his conviction, which may or may not be overturned before the November election. Should the former president win the election before the conviction could be overturned, certain countries would have to make an exception if he were to visit on official business. Per The Independent:

There are some folks on CNN who sometimes seem to hit upon a little truth in their analysis.
One is data analyst Harry Enten, who has been reporting on the big problems with Joe Biden's campaign.
The other is legal analyst Elie Honig, who has not been shy in calling out the problems in the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's case against former President Donald Trump. That's particularly interesting since he used to be a colleague of Alvin Bragg's when they both worked for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, and he calls Bragg a friend.
Honig, in a fascinating article titled
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, admitted there was no evidence to support social distancing to limit the spread of Covid-19 and failed to recall evidence for child masking, according to newly released transcripts of congressional testimony he gave earlier this year. Fauci testified behind closed doors over two days in January to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, and the subcommittee released the transcripts of his testimony ahead of his public testimony scheduled to take place next week.
“You know, I don’t recall. It sort of just appeared. I don’t recall,
While the left and its media acolytes have been busy squeeing the past 24 hours over the fact that former President Donald Trump is a "CONVICTED FELON!!1!!1!" (technically not true until the judge actually enters the judgment of conviction, but that will come shortly, no doubt), many have been speculating as to what that means in practical terms for the former president. Sentencing is now set for July 11 (four days before the start of the Republican National Convention), but setting aside the guesses as to what Judge Juan Merchan will do at that point, the conviction could impact some of Trump's rights,

For the second time in their ignoble history, the Democrats have fired on Fort Sumter. Now the question is, what are we going to do about it?
I wrote my initial thoughts on the Trump verdict yesterday afternoon. I want to add to them here.
If Joe Biden is re-elected following this outrage, he will be an illegitimate president. What does that mean? It means, I think, that no one should be obliged to follow his executive orders. All such orders will be illegitimate and should be disregarded, as appropriate. Likewise, residents of the sane states, and their public officials, should be free to disregard rules and orders
On Friday’s edition of the “Tomi Lahren Is Fearless” podcast, New York Times bestselling Breaking Biden author and Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow argued that Democrats want to try to wear down 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump with the criminal charges against him and Trump can’t play into that goal by sacrificing his message on the economy to focus on relitigating his trial in New York.
Host Tomi Lahren said that Trump’s presser earlier in the day on the trial had about 25 minutes that he could have skipped because he spent too much time getting bogged down in the legalities of the case.
Israeli Prime Minsiter Benjamin Netanyahu declined Friday to confirm or deny explicitly U.S. President Joe Biden’s claim that Israel had proposed a deal for a ceasefire and hostage release that would keep Hamas armed and in power in Gaza.
However, Netanyahu’s response suggested that Israel’s “actual proposal” was different than the one Biden described. On Friday, as Breitbart News reported, Biden proposed a three-part deal similar to proposals that Hamas had rejected in the past. The proposal never mentioned disarming Hamas and would effectively leave Hamas in power. Biden claimed that the Israeli government had proposed the deal — but then, bizarrely,
Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk is preparing to host a town hall on his social media website for former President Donald Trump after slamming Trump’s conviction.
A source familiar with the plans told the Wall Street Journal he would be partnering with NewsNation to air a town hall event where users on X, formerly known as Twitter, will submit questions that will be answered by Trump.
The source added that there would also be a town hall event hosted on X for independent presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. On Thursday, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in relation to payments

Donald Trump will be a 'loser president' and bring about an end to America's status as a global leader should he decide to end aid to Ukraine if he is elected president, Volodymyr Zelensky has declared.
The Ukrainian President took aim at Trump in a scathing interview last week in which he insisted his country 'would not put up with' any deals made between a Trump administration and Vladimir Putin that would see Kyiv sacrifice parts of the Donbas in return for peace.
And he said that any decision to cut off weapons and support to Ukraine would have dire consequences - not only for Trump personally, but also America's standing
Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas announced Sunday that she’s been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and warned her constituents that she’ll likely be “occasionally absent” from Congress while undergoing treatment.
“My doctors have confirmed my diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. I am currently undergoing treatment to battle this disease that impacts tens of thousands of Americans every year,” she said in a statement. “I am confident that my doctors have developed the best possible plan to target my specific disease. The road ahead will not be easy, but I stand in faith that God will strengthen me.”
he pandemic patriarch Dr. Anthony Fauci got emotional when detailing death threats against him and his children, while also insisting taxpayer dollars were not used for risky gain-of-function research in China and he never used personal email for 'official business.'
His bombshell admission came before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic that has been seeking for over a year now to determine the origins of the pandemic that killed over a million Americans and millions more globally.
The fast-paced hearing slowed down briefly when Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., asked Fauci about the personal toll
White House spokesman John Kirby was on “This Week” on ABC with host George Stephanopoulos to discuss Biden’s “strength” on the world stage.
“Former President Trump said this morning on Fox News that the world is out of control and laid the blame on President Biden because he said world leaders don’t respect President Biden. Your response?” Stephanopoulos asked.
“Well I don’t get into election campaign rhetoric. I can’t do that,” Kirby said.
“They appreciate the way the President has revitalized our alliances and partnerships and our networks around the world
Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (CA) called Trump supporters “domestic terrorists” during an appearance on MSNBC as she discussed the guilty verdict against Trump.
Waters also said Trump is pushing America toward a civil war.
“Let me just say this, I am worried that he is so divisive and that he is talking about retribution and about revenge and I think that is dangerous. He has even mentioned civil war saying there will be bloodshed,” Waters said.
“I will spend some time with the criminal justice system, with the justice system asking them, tell us what’s going on with the domestic terrorists?

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) on Monday testified before a House Select Subcommittee on the Covid origins, lockdowns and phony medical guidance.
Dr. Fauci was the face of the Covid lockdowns, unnecessary masking, social distancing, and lies about the ‘Wuhan lab leak’ theory.
During his testimony on Monday, citing faulty analysis by elitist media doctor and Covid vaccine promotor Dr. Peter Hotez, Fauci said the unvaccinated are responsible for an additional 200,000 – 300,000 COVID deaths.

Washington— The White House is telling lawmakers that President Joe Biden is preparing to sign off on an executive order that would shut down asylum requests at the U.S.-Mexico border once the average number of daily encounters hits 2,500 at ports of entry, with the border reopening only once that number declines to 1,500, according to several people familiar with the discussions.
The impact of the 2,500 figure means that the executive order could go into immediate effect, because daily figures are higher than that now.
The Democratic president is expected to unveil the actions — his most aggressive unilateral move yet to control the numbers at the border

The president flew into Wilmington, Del., on Sunday night, where his 54-year-old son’s felony gun trial begins Monday, and will spend the whole day there with no official duties.
Joe Biden’s looming presence in the strange small city leaves nobody in any doubt of the message he is sending to Delaware special counsel David Weiss, to the prosecutors, the judge, and the jury pool being chosen Monday. You mess with my son; you mess with me.
It’s all very subtle, in a flagrant way, much like Joe’s impromptu visit to Hallie Biden, the widow of Beau and former lover of Hunter,
For years, there have been “rumors” that Barack Obama is running the show for Joe Biden from behind the scenes.
Obama once said in a 2020 interview that he would be fine with running an election from his basement with an earpiece in his ear:
Barack Obama: “I used to say, if, if I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man, a front woman and they had an earpiece in and I was in the basement in my sweats … I’d be fine with that.”
Obama made the appearance on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert
Dr. Anthony Fauci on Monday claimed during testimony before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic that unvaccinated individuals are “probably responsible” for hundreds of thousands of deaths.
The former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases made the remark in response to Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia of California asking whether he believes the public should listen to the best and brightest in the medical community or “podcasters, conspiracy theorists, and unhinged Facebook memes.”
Fauci said taking the latter's advice will deprive people of “lifesaving interventions, which has happened.”
He then pointed to studies, including one analysis by Dr. Peter Hotez,
A bar in Idaho sparked controversy after it announced it would be celebrating “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” instead of LGBTQ Pride Month.
The bar, Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, announced the celebration on Facebook, inviting people to enjoy a month of festivities and drink specials. “Come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals, for without them, none of us would be here!” the bar wrote.
The bar said that Mondays in June will be “Hetero Male Monday” wherein “any heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male” will be rewarded with a free beer on tap.
The bar even put out a call seeking a “professional” judge qualified “to determine if men’s chosen clothing
