Democratic Rep.: Biden Recently ‘Didn’t Seem to Recognize’ Me

In an op-ed for the Boston Globe, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) has candidly addressed concerns about President Biden’s cognitive abilities, recounting a troubling personal encounter during an overseas trip that has raised alarms among U.S. allies.

Moulton, a longtime admirer and mentee of Biden, revealed a disconcerting moment at a small gathering in Normandy, France, during the 80th anniversary of D-Day. He described how Biden, whom he had known as a friend and mentor, appeared not to recognize him for the first time. This incident, as Moulton observed, was more than just a fleeting lapse; it signified a deeper issue that has become increasingly apparent.

“While it’s natural for memory to falter with age, what I witnessed in Normandy and what I saw during recent public appearances has deepened my concerns,” Moulton wrote.

The episode in Normandy is not an isolated event. It is part of a broader narrative unfolding since Biden took office, with critics pointing to instances of forgetfulness and verbal missteps during public engagements. These incidents have sparked debate over whether Biden, at 81, is fit to seek re-election and continue serving as commander in chief.

“President Biden has been a friend and mentor to me for many years,” Moulton acknowledged. “But we owe it to the American people to have an honest conversation about leadership and the challenges our country faces.”

Iranian Leader’s ‘Revenge’ Threat Against Trump Comes Into Sharp Focus

On Jan. 22, 2021, Ali Khamenei, the religious dictator of Iran, posted a photo on his official website of President Donald Trump on a golf course with the bold caption: “Revenge is inevitable.”

Two years later, on Feb. 25, 2023, Brigadier Gen. Hossein Hajizadeh, commander of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, listed on the U.S. terror blacklist, stated: “God willing, we will be able to kill Trump and Pompeo. That night (during the missile attack on the Ain al-Assad base in Iraq), we could have killed a thousand Americans if we had wanted to, but they were just soldiers, and it would not have mattered. However, Trump, Pompeo, and McKenzie need to be killed,” as reported by the Tasnim News Agency, Iran’s semi-official news agency associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Ahmad Hamzeh, a member of parliament, announced during a public session of the parliament that “on behalf of the people of Kerman, we offer a three-million-dollar cash reward to anyone who kills Trump,” reported the semi-official ISNA news agency on Jan. 21, 2020.

After a 2022 assassination attempt in New York on novelist Salman Rushdie – the longtime object of Iranian assassination threats and fatwas going back to the 1988 publication of his book “The Satanic Verses” – the Kayhan newspaper, which publishes Ali Khamenei’s positions, noted that “taking revenge on the perpetrators and criminals on American soil is not difficult and after this [attempted assassination of Rushdie], Trump and Pompeo will feel more threatened.” Many other threats have been made against Trump by the highest officials of the Iranian regime, speaking of severe revenge for Trump’s killing of Qasem Soleimani, a key architect of terrorism in the Middle East.

Before the failed assassination attempt on Alejo Vidal-Quadras, former vice president of the European Parliament and president of the International Committee in Search of Justice on Nov. 9, 2023, the theocratic regime of Iran had placed him on the foreign ministry’s sanctions list. Immediately after the attempt on his life, and before being transferred to the hospital while unable to speak due to a bullet hitting his lower jaw, he communicated with the police by writing on his cellphone that his only enemy was the Iranian regime. Subsequent investigations showed that the mastermind of this crime was indeed traceable back to Iran. The fugitive criminal had been hired to assassinate Vidal-Quadras.

Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Last Online Search Was for Porn

Failed Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks’ final online search before the Pennsylvania rally shooting last weekend was for pornography, according to a report.

Crooks’ last search was found when the FBI gained access to the 20-year-old’s encrypted Samsung phone, a senior law enforcement official told the Daily Beast.

Initial attempts to bust into the Android device at the Pittsburgh field office failed, and the phone had to be flown to Quantico for agents to take a look at it, the source explained.

The only other recent activity the FBI found on the phone was texts from Crooks’ parents asking where he was. . .

Crooks’ parents apparently believed their son had taken one of his father’s AR-15 rifles and gone to a local shooting range. (Read more from “Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Last Online Search Was for Porn” HERE)

Poll: Trump’s Lead Over Biden Widens as America Seeks Stability

Former President Donald J. Trump has surged ahead of President Joe Biden in recent national polling. According to a newly released survey, 52 percent of registered voters expressed their intention to vote for Trump if the election were held today. This marks a significant increase from earlier figures, showcasing a clear trend in public sentiment.

Just weeks ago, a CBS News poll had already shown Trump with a solid lead at 50 percent, while Biden lagged behind at 48 percent. Now, with a five-point increase in Trump’s favorability, it is evident that the American people are increasingly turning to the proven leadership of the former president.

The poll also delved into the aftermath of a shocking assassination attempt on Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania. Despite the brazen attack, a notable 26 percent of voters indicated that they were now more inclined to support Trump. This reflects a growing admiration for his resilience and a recognition of his unwavering commitment to the American people.

Moreover, a majority of respondents acknowledged Trump’s efforts to promote national unity following the harrowing incident. Fifty-four percent affirmed that Trump has actively pushed for greater cohesion, while only 46 percent believed otherwise. This demonstrates Trump’s steadfast dedication to healing the nation’s divisions, even amidst personal adversity.

The recent surge in Trump’s popularity reflects a broader sentiment among voters who are increasingly disillusioned with the current administration’s policies. From economic woes to foreign policy mishaps, the Biden administration’s failures have underscored the need for a return to strong, decisive leadership.

As the nation looks ahead to the next election cycle, one thing remains abundantly clear: the American people yearn for stability, security, and a leader who will put their interests first.

CIA Says It Gave False Information to Congress About ‘Spies Who Lie’

The CIA said Thursday it gave false information to Congress about the “Spies Who Lie” who suggested incriminating documents from Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian disinformation.

In the stunning twist that’s heightening congressional doubts about the impartiality and reliability of America’s premier spy agency, the CIA said in a letter acquired by The Post that former agency acting director Michael Morell was not a contractor at the time he organized the October 2020 laptop statement.

That contradicted the agency’s previous testimony to Congress that he was under contract.

“This mistake was based on a misreading of the contract documentation,” Robert Dugas, CIA deputy general counsel of litigations and investigations, wrote in a Wednesday letter to Morell’s lawyers, which the CIA acknowledged to The Post Thursday. . .

The walk-back stoked outrage among House Republicans, who published the agency-provided information last month. (Read more from “CIA Says It Gave False Information to Congress About ‘Spies Who Lie’” HERE)

Biden’s Team Deliberately Kneecapped Trump’s Security to Allow an Assassination Attempt

Nobody wants to hear this because of the implications, but oh well, because it needs to be said: Joe Biden’s security regime deliberately and with malice aforethought created the conditions that led to an attempted assassin shooting Donald Trump in the head. It is by the grace of God that he lived and our nation is not currently in the midst of a violent civil war.

They deliberately starved Trump’s security team of the resources it needed. And they did it repeatedly, over many weeks and months.

With Trump’s security detail understaffed, under-resourced, and stretched to its limits, Biden’s security regime reportedly diverted even more resources to a hastily planned Jill Biden event that just happened to be in the area.

Biden’s security regime then ordered the most obvious assassination perch in the entire area to remain outside the main security perimeter.

Furthermore, Biden’s Secret Service director ordered law enforcement and counter-snipers OFF the roof the assassin used. (Read more from “Biden’s Team Deliberately Kneecapped Trump’s Security to Allow an Assassination Attempt” HERE)

J.D. Vance Hits Religious Leaders With Profanity-Riddled ‘Pulp Fiction’ Quote

J.D. Vance offered a profane explanation based on a quote from “Pulp Fiction” to describe his religious faith.

Donald Trump’s freshly minted running mate told a gathering of religious conservatives Thursday morning at the Faith & Freedom Coalition Breakfast about a scene in the 1994 Quentin Tarantino film that he said explained his faith and his view on miracles, reported Politico.

He described an argument between Samuel L. Jackson’s character and ‘his fellow violent gangster’ about ‘whether God had come down from heaven and stopped these mother-effing bullets – that would be the exact phrase,'” Politico reported.

“Jackson’s character says, ‘Well, look, it’s not about whether God changed Coke to Pepsi or found my car keys, what matters is I felt the touch of God,'” Vance reportedly said. (Read more from “J.D. Vance Hits Religious Leaders With Profanity-Riddled ‘Pulp Fiction’ Quote” HERE)

Biden Couldn’t Even Make It 48 Hours Without Using Extreme Rhetoric Against Trump

President Joe Biden couldn’t even last 48 hours without using extreme rhetoric against former President Donald Trump, after having called on Sunday night for the nation to “lower the temperature in our politics” after Trump survived an assassination attempt.

Speaking at the NAACP convention in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Biden used his traditional playbook of slandering Republicans.

“They will do everything — undo everything the NAACP stands for, but now they’re trying to deny it. They’re lying about their Project 2025. They want to deny you freedom, the freedom of the vote, have your vote counted,” Biden said, completely lying.

“They’d impose a nationwide ban on abortion. … They want to prosecute political enemies. They want to cut Social Security and Medicare, rip away protection for millions of pre-existing conditions for 400 million people … risking people’s lives, costing the government more money. … They would … give the very wealthy a big corporate — corporations a new tax cut,” Biden continued.

All Biden really did this time was stop short of comparing Trump to Hitler — which he’s done in the past. (Read more from “Biden Couldn’t Even Make It 48 Hours Without Using Extreme Rhetoric Against Trump” HERE)

DC Jail Defies U.S. House Demand for Videos of Apparent Pepper-Spray Attack Against J6 Defendant

The District of Columbia Department of Corrections has refused a demand from the House Judiciary Committee for bodycam footage, security video, and medical records related to the September 2022 pepper-spray attack by a jail guard on Jan. 6 detainee Ronald Colton McAbee.

The refusal letter from the DOC deputy general counsel is the latest salvo in a war waged since 2023 by U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) to obtain and make public video that shows the attack.

It sets up the likelihood that the Judiciary Committee headed by U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) will issue a subpoena to compel release of the materials.

In a July 15 response to Jordan, Nehls, and U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), the DOC deputy counsel cited privacy issues and security of the jail in denying the surveillance video and bodycam footage demanded by the Judiciary Committee.

“The footage requested depicts schematic layouts, points of entry and exit, and arguably the most safety-sensitive aspect of all, the locations of security cameras in that unit,” Andrew Mazzuchelli wrote.

Judge Sides With Elementary School Against 7-Year-Old Girl Who Was Punished Harshly Over BLM Message

A judge sided against the family of a 7-year-old who was severely punished for scrawling “any life” under a Black Lives Matter message on a card she gave to a friend who happened to black.

The girl, known in court documents only as “B.B.,” gave a picture to her friend after they saw a documentary about the life of Martin Luther King Jr. She also drew round shapes in different colors that were supposed to represent their “racially-mixed” group of friends, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Her friend, known as “M.C.” in court documents, took the image home, where it was seen by her parents. They were offended by the picture and called the school to demand administrators take action.

The school punished the girl for what administrators saw as racially insensitive speech by making the girl apologize to her friends and teachers on the school playground. They also banned her from drawing pictures for two weeks and from going to recess.

The mother of the girl only found out about the incident a year later. (Read more from “Judge Sides With Elementary School Against 7-Year-Old Girl Who Was Punished Harshly Over BLM Message” HERE)
