Jill Biden’s infamous “work husband,” Anthony Bernal, just became the latest Biden insider to clam up under oath. On Wednesday, Bernal invoked the Fifth Amendment when dragged before Congress to answer questions about Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline, making him the second close Biden aide to lawyer up and refuse to talk. Bernal followed the lead of Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s longtime personal physician, who also took the Fifth when pressed for answers. And just like O’Connor, Bernal had nothing to say to reporters on his way out the door. According to Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), the committee’s legal team

Nothing makes them look more guilty then when they utter that phrase. I know it's a legal measure they can use but for most of us it screams guilty on some level. They are good at lying but even under these circumstance they won't dare lie about this whole mess. So it's the 5th Amendment.

By taking the 5th, those b@stards are laughing at us. Hiding behind the very Constitution they're so bound & determined to erase, there can be no doubt criminal acts were committed. Surely the CIA has some kind of interrogation method to force them to spill the beans-where do you draw the line when the commission of treason is a very high probability? If these high-ranking members of the fed gvt ar held to a higher standard than the rest of us hoi polloi, THEN HOLD THEM TO IT.

Taking the 5th is proof that they DID and know they did, clear criminal acts. They are terrified of the consequences. So, keep on pushing. Find one of them who is the weakest, and offer immunity (limited, narrow) to strip away their 5th Amendment rights, and, in exchange for their immunity, get them to testify against the others.

Stop messing around, they have a clear game plan they are employing against the Republican questions. Subpoena their phone, email and any other devices that they and every staffer, intern, etc. used during those 4 years. They are setting precedent if they can essentially put any person in the office, but have a team of people who operate as POTUS for all intents and purposes, except the ceremonial aspects of the job. It's likely why they weren't too worried about Kamala, it just didn't matter to them who was acting as the President, they actually had all the authority.

So, it's proven ---- then what? What kind of teeth does this committee (or Congress, for that matter) have? Can they recommend prosecution to the DOJ? Would the DOJ say there's no "there", "there"? We've recently learned that they don't mind going that route when it's something inconvenient or uncomfortable for them.

I know it wouldn't be legal, but wouldn't it be fun if, just once, the prosecutor would follow up one of their assertions of the 5th amendment rights as follows: so you admit that answering truthfully would incriminate you?

Thanks, #13. Yes, just as soon as I hit “Submit” I thought ah, forgery (but then I thought where’s that going if LOL81,000,000 said he “authorized” the signatures?). I never thought of the bribery angle. Well alright then! Maybe they do indeed, for both reasons, have cause to “plead the Fifth”!

Much has been written about the enormous scandal involving the Biden administration’s cover-up of Joe Biden’s dementia. His senility was obvious when he ran for president in 2020, but was covered up by the manufactured COVID pandemic. He was even then an easily manipulated fool/tool of the far left from the moment he took control of the presidency. Now we know that he was never an acting president. He was the radical left’s frontman. What is pathetic is that his handlers ever thought for even one moment that putting him before the public was wise. The man was a disaster of monumental proportions.

There are several reasons why Jerome Powell should be fired or forced to resign: Powell pretends he cares about budget deficits and inflation, but the cost for the Federal Reserve building renovations surged $700 million past the initial budget, or almost 40%: The Federal Reserve has defended itself from White House criticism that ongoing, costly renovations at the central bank’s headquarters in Washington are the result of mismanagement. Last week, Russel Vought, the director of the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, said the Fed was turning its headquarters into a ‘palace.’ The cost of the renovation has risen to $2.5 billion, which is $700 million above its initial estimate.

The Federal District Court for the District of Columbia has been a safe haven for Democrats, with the justices there willing repeatedly to favor plaintiffs who have filed suits against the Trump administration. Margot Cleveland obtained a memo from a federal judicial conference held this past March showing that the DC judges are actively hostile to Donald Trump and want to ensure the Supreme Court shares that hostility. This behavior crashes into the federal canons governing judges, as well as into the reality of Trump’s conduct. Before Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025, the DC District Court had already garnered a reputation for hostility to the Trump side

The Epstein Diversion: How Economic Pain

There’s a strange, unsettling irony in the endless chants for Donald Trump to release the so-called “Epstein names.” For many in his base, these demands feel like the final frontier of truth and justice. But this obsession isn’t born merely from a desire to protect the vulnerable or expose elite wrongdoing. Instead, it’s the byproduct of a deeper, more painful economic story — one that tells us far more about modern America than any flight log ever could. When Jeffrey Epstein, charged with child sex–trafficking, was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019, under bizarre circumstances — broken cameras, inattentive guards

An old Twitter post (2020) has resurfaced, and it’s not a good look for the wannabe mayor of the Big Apple. Didn’t that communist come to this country for a better life? If Christopher Columbus hadn’t discovered the Bahamas, history would have turned out very, very different.

The celebrations didn’t last long. President Trump kicked off the festivities at the Iowa State Fair grounds. He was in Iowa to ballyhoo passage of the One, Big Beautiful Bill. The crowd -- as always at Trump rallies -- was enthusiastic. The mammoth measure is the centerpiece of Trump’s second administration. It unlocks the door to a huge boost to the economy and provides a torrent of new monies for tougher border enforcement and mass deportations, among other considerations. Promises made, promises kept.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson got brutally exposed twice by her colleagues for being out of her depth. Sure, some could say, ‘Well, of course, the conservative wing would slam her opinions.’ Before they both passed, Justice Antonin Scalia did this often to his friend and colleague Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Yet, this has a different flavor. Amy Coney Barrett came within inches of calling her mentally challenged, later Sonia Sotomayor also pretty much said Jackson was ahead of her skis in the dissent on Trump’s cuts to the federal workforce. So, when Ms. Jackson said she’s worried about our democracy,

We’re about to find out, and it’s not pretty. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino reportedly had a heated confrontation with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Jeffrey Epstein files, and the fallout has been swift and telling. According to sources, Bongino was so frustrated with Bondi’s lack of transparency that he took the day off work on Friday, leading some to speculate that he might have quit altogether.

British parliamentarian William E. Gladstone is credited with the phrase “justice delayed is justice denied.” I’m seeing quite a few opinion articles and social media posts decrying the numerous investigations and reports into alleged political misdeeds, very few of which are accompanied by subsequent indictments, trials, and convictions. There are exceptions, of course, such as the case of Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), who was convicted on bribery and corruption charges. But the figures behind the larger scandals never seem to face any consequences, and I think people have had enough

Vice President JD Vance cast two tie-breaking votes in the Senate Tuesday to move forward a $9.4B rescissions package — which would rip federal funding from PBS and NPR — in the upper chamber. The Senate deadlocked, 50-50, on two procedural votes to start debate on the multibillion-dollar spending clawback package before Vance’s votes advanced the measure requested by the White House. Three Republicans – Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) – joined all Democrats in opposition to the bill.

"This is California’s fault. Governor Newsom and the complicit Democrats have enabled this waste for years.

Zohran Mamdani is running for mayor of New York City at exactly the right time in American history. The confluence of a shattered Democratic Party, an electorate wild for change, and a bitterly divided opposition will make the 33-year-old socialist the next mayor of New York City. As long as he doesn't self-destruct, that is. We're going to see if Mamdani can keep his foot out of his mouth in the next three and a half months and avoid making his support of an "intifada" against Jews any larger of a campaign issue than it already is. Otherwise, there doesn't appear to be anything that can stop his election victory.
