Biden Briefed and Approved Mar-a-Lago Search

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 2/22/2026 8:19:47 AM

A new FBI memo puts President Joe Biden in the thick of the Mar-a-Lago search of President Donald Trump's home. The memo puts an end to any rumors or partisan talking points; internal emails and memos outline briefings, coordination, and presidential approval before federal agents entered Trump's home. In January 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration received 15 boxes of presidential materials from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Staff members found documents bearing classified markings, and requested additional materials from Trump's team. Archivist officials believed more records remained at the property. The dispute moved from paperwork to potential criminal exposure within a matter of months.

The next question is, did Biden know what he was signing, or was it an autopen deal.

But of course, it won't be big news on the MSM as they need to bury any negative news that might impact Democrats. If this was something from Trump against any Democrat they would be reporting on it 24/7 and calling for impeachment.

Classified socuments contain information which would cause damage to national security if disclosed without authorization. So what was potentially damaging about these docs? Nothing. They just needed to be firewalled from anyone outside the apparatchik.

Of course either Biden or his auto-pen did that, as Biden has always been a 101% rapid liberal Democrat partisan politician who would do anything to hurt his political opponents and maintain his political power. Anyone who over the years who has watched Biden operate in his hyper partisan fashion certainly knows that by now. As for the Biden auto-pen it was in the hands of the Biden crew during that time, but it would be interesting to know if the Biden auto-pen was used, obviously to give Biden some deniability.

Most people with a handful of functioning braincells are not going to put their necks on the chopping block without something to protect said neck. Either approval, immunity, guarantees or blackmail material. The cowardice that you see everyday in corporate America is proof of that. Even well meaning people are afraid to do the right thing if someone doesn't have their back. How many meetings have you attended where not one person will stand up and ask an uncomfortable question?

The raid of Trump's Mar-a-Lago was the dirtiest political trick ever sprung. Those who did it, who inspired it, deserve to go away for decades. When senile dementia is heaped atop a naturally low intelligence quotient, even a venal, nasty habitual liar who belongs in an adult prison has some degree of plausible deniability. So whom does the reposnsibility fall upon, if not Cornpop's hairy-legged imaginer? Soetoro and those around him with money. The Hive.

But Feb. 22, 2026 saw Jack Hughes play the hero for the Americans. In a reversal of the 2010 Winter Olympics which saw Canada's Sidney Crosby with the Golden Goal, Hughes saw a magical golden goal of his own for Team USA.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced on Friday that he was denying a request from the family of former Democratic presidential candidate and civil rights activist Jesse Jackson to allow Jackson to lie in state in the Capitol rotunda. There was an immediate reaction from many on the left. (X) However, Johnson was absolutely right to deny the Jackson family's request to allow his body to lie in state in the Capitol rotunda.

It was a big week in the news. Marco Rubio went to Munich and mounted an eloquent defense of Western civilization. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tagged along, and proved herself not very bright for a cocktail waitress. The U.S. armada continued steaming toward Iran with no resolution in sight, and the Supreme Court lowered the boom on President Trump’s tariffs. In New York, the Mamdani era began its inevitable long decline. And much more besides. But as far as memes are concerned, the week was dominated by the Winter Olympics in Italy.

As I am writing this on Ash Wednesday, I decided to take a look at the now mountainous pile of windfarm projects that have been tossed onto the ash heap of Green Energy history…thanks to President Donald Trump and his insistence that American energy sources be dependable, efficient, and as inexpensive as reasonably possible. Last week, I noted that Now Wyoming’s top land officials moved to rescind the state wind leases underpinning the Pronghorn H2 and Sidewinder projects, effectively putting both projects on a path toward cancellation. It turns out that these projects were being constructed to support another untested and untried technology, and were unpopular with local residents.

The best way to understand what the hell just happened is through the lens of the utterly absurd BBC story, “As Trump Retreats From Climate Goals, China Is Becoming a Green Superpower.” Thirty years ago, headlines described the story. That was their only purpose, because people didn’t purchase stories à la carte; we bought the entire newspaper or magazine. Not so today. Now, writers are paid per-click, which means the headline is also an advertisement. As the economic model changes, so does the message. And since most people don’t read beyond the headline, the takeaway for BBC headline-scanners is obvious: China must be the new green superpower. Aw gee, Trump blew it again!

The New York Times covers looming U.S. strikes on Iran: The rapid buildup of U.S. forces in the Middle East has progressed to the point that President Trump has the option to take military action against Iran as soon as this weekend, administration and Pentagon officials said, leaving the White House with high-stakes choices about pursuing diplomacy or war. President Trump has been trying to negotiate with the mullahs over Iran’s nuclear program, in search, as always, of a deal. Mr. Trump has repeatedly demanded that Iran give up its nuclear program, including agreeing not to enrich any more uranium. That isn’t going to happen with the current Iranian government in charge.

With his voluminous expressions of concern about the treatment of Christians in Israel, one might have expected Tucker Carlson to venture beyond the confines of Ben Gurion Airport to check them out, if not to commisserate with them. However, that was not to be the case. He has yet to meet with Christians in Israel. Most recently, he flew in and out by private jet for an interview with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee at the airport itself. Huckabee, by the way, invited him to remain in Israel for several days. Carlson has done his best to turn his airport sojourn into an international incident to Israel’s detriment.

The Obama Presidential Center has taken plenty of heat, mostly because it’s one of the ugliest buildings humanity has ever produced. Soviet architects would be in awe of the brutalist, menacing design of the $850 million ode to the 44th president. But what some have termed a “Klingon prison” just got weirder and, if possible, less attractive with the addition of a colossal display on its sides with words from the former president’s 2015 speech in Selma, Alabama. It might be inspiring — if you could actually read it: (X) “Not the ideal design.” Well, that’s certainly a contestant for understatement of the year. “I gave up after developing a headache

Our Andrew Kerr has published two blockbuster investigative reports about Moore that undercut key elements of his life story—first, his boasts about being some kind of a "foremost expert" on radical Islam, based on an Oxford University graduate thesis that he can't produce and that the school doesn't have on file in its library, and second, his oft-repeated tale that his great-grandfather was chased out of the country

You can’t say we didn’t warn New York what was going to happen if it elected Zohran Mamdani, but I gotta say, I don’t think anyone predicted it would start collapsing so quickly. But, alas, it has. That socialist utopia that Mamdani was supposed to deliver has instead turned into a slow-motion fiscal catastrophe a mere two months in — and even the liberal media is starting to notice. Mamdani unveiled a $127 billion budget for fiscal year 2027 this week — a staggering $5 billion increase over the prior year. But what's $5 billion between socialists, right? To put that into perspective, Mamdani’s proposed budget is

The revelation by JPMorgan came after Trump “and the Trump Organization” filed a lawsuit in January against JPMorgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon, for having debanked the president, according to the outlet. Per the outlet, accounts that JPMorgan reportedly “debanked” were accounts “for Trump hotels, housing developments and retail shops” in several states, along with “Trump’s personal private banking relationship that handled his inheritance:”

Illinois Gov. J.B.

In a letter addressed to Trump that Pritzker posted to X, Pritzker described Trump’s tariffs as having “wreaked havoc on farmers,” having “enraged our allies,” and increased the cost of groceries. Pritzker explained that he was demanding “a refund of $1,700 for every family” in the state, and that because there were roughly 5,105,448 households in the state, the total came to $8,679,261,600. “Your tariffs wreaked havoc on farmers, enraged our allies,

Virginia Democrats have planned a statewide referendum with perhaps the most diabolically Orwellian question in the history of modern democracy. “Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?” Obviously, relatively disengaged voters will see this question and go, “Restore fairness? Sure, I vote yes.” So let me break down what it actually means. First, newly empowered Virginia Dems redrew the maps for House seats in the most comical fashion. Here’s the old map.

And now President Donald Trump wants accountability. On Saturday, Trump called on Netflix to fire Rice.
