Ex-Clinton Adviser: ‘Comatose Joe’ is Much Better Option Than Kamala

/1 Comment/in , /by

Joe Biden’s vice president, Kamala Harris, has established a stunning record of nonaccomplishment. . .

But as vice president, her name clearly is a subject of discussion as more and more evidence is revealed about the exact nature of Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline, which resulted in his recent “disastrous” debate performance.

But one former adviser to Bill Clinton noted that as unattractive as Biden has become to independent voters – those who are ready to swing back and forth and frequently are the deciders in an election, Harris is less attractive.

“Kamala Harris is more threatening to those swing voters than a dead Joe Biden or a comatose Joe Biden,” former Clinton adviser Paul Begala said. “So if Joe has to go, it’s gonna be Kamala and if it’s Kamala, it’s gonna be harder.”

Analysts already have confirmed that if Biden is taken off the top of the Democrat ticket, election finance rules make it almost impossible to transfer the tens of millions of campaign dollars to another candidate, unless it would be Harris.

White House Spin Machine Hits A Snag After KJP’s Briefing Fib

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House’s attempt to quell concerns about President Joe Biden’s health appeared to hit a snag after the 81-year-old and the deputy press secretary reportedly contradicted the press secretary.

Biden met with more than 20 Democratic governors Wednesday to discuss his presidential campaign and told attendees he underwent a check-up following his debate performance and was in good health, two people in the meeting told Politico. In the first two press briefings following Biden’s disastrous debate performance, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre fielded questions on the 81-year-old’s health, blaming his poor showing on a cold and then later jet lag. The press secretary, however, denied that Biden had gotten any “medical exams” since his February physical.

“Has the president had any medical exams since his last physical in February?” CNN’s MJ Lee asked during the press briefing Wednesday.

“We were able to talk to his doctor about that and that is a ‘no,’” Jean-Pierre responded.

White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates later said that the president had been examined a few days after the debate “to check on his cold and was recovering well,” Lee reported.

Ivanka Trump Makes RNC Decision as She Calls Donald’s Conviction ‘Painful’

/6 Comments/in , , /by

Ivanka Trump will be in attendance to support her father when he officially accepts the Republican nomination for president, The Post is told — as she admitted his recent conviction was “painful.”

Despite having left politics, Donald Trump’s daughter — who said in a new interview with podcaster Lex Fridman that politics is a “rough, rough business” and a “pretty dark world” — will watch his speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, later this month, her spokesperson confirmed.

The RNC will run from July 15-18 at the Fiserv Forum, and Trump sources stressed that Ivanka will not serve in any political capacity at the event, as a delegate, fundraiser or otherwise.

This is in stark contrast to the 2020 RNC where she introduced her father to the stage. She was also a big part of the 2016 convention.

The mom-of-three spoke out about the former president having been found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records tied to a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign.

Confirmed: FBI Security Clearances Suspended for Agents’ Wrong Beliefs

/3 Comments/in , , /by

A new whistleblower, this one a Democrat, has pulled back the curtain on the extent of corruption within the FBI, confirming that agents’ security clearances were suspended for having the wrong beliefs.

Those would include the wrong political beliefs, the wrong medical beliefs or even the ethnicity views of the agent, according to reports.

A report from the Daily Signal explained Tristan Leavitt, chief of Empower Oversight, told Congress on behalf of the whistleblower, “The client—a registered Democrat—witnessed firsthand as an SSA [supervisory special agent] how the FBI’s Security Division improperly suspended or revoked employees’ security clearances whose political views, medical views, or even ethnicity were questioned by Security Division leadership.” . . .

Specifically, the Democrat charges the FBI chiefs with targeting employees who supported President Donald Trump or opposed those COVID-19 shots that now have proven to have injured thousands of people.

“If an FBI employee fit a certain profile as a political conservative, they were viewed as security concerns and unworthy to work at the FBI,” the whistleblower’s lawyer, Leavitt, wrote Horowitz in requesting an independent investigation.

‘There’s a Price for Being Russia’s Enemy’: Putin, Kim Aim to Intimidate U.S.

/3 Comments/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin needs North Korea — not just for its weapons, but also to help deliver a warning to the U.S. and its allies: There will be a significant price to pay for any nation that gets on the Kremlin’s bad side.

That was one of the key points made by former CIA Moscow station chief Daniel Hoffman, who said during an online forum Tuesday that Mr. Putin’s recent meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was an acknowledgment by Moscow that it has become increasingly reliant on pariah states such as North Korea amid diplomatic isolation and heavy economic sanctions from the West.

But Mr. Putin had another motivation, one that seems to have driven the decision to publicly play up the mutual defense pact that the two often wary neighbors signed during their historic summit last month.

“I think that Vladimir Putin’s visit to Pyongyang — it’s definitely part of his cold calculus. It’s also a bit of an act of desperation. He needs North Korea, and he also needs the relationship to be very much public,” Mr. Hoffman told the Washington Brief, a monthly forum hosted by the Washington Times Foundation.

The mutual defense agreement, which on its surface seems to indicate Russia and North Korea will come to the other’s aid if attacked, may have also given Mr. Putin a powerful messaging tool against those who seek to isolate the Kremlin for its invasion of Ukraine.

Biden Extends Losing Streak as Third Judge Blocks Rule Adding ‘Gender Identity’ to Title IX

/5 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge in Kansas temporarily blocked the Department of Education’s Title IX rewrite in four states, marking the third straight court loss by the administration as it struggles to defend its final rule adding “gender identity” to the landmark act against sex discrimination in education.

U.S. District Judge John Broomes granted a preliminary injunction Tuesday prohibiting the department from enforcing the policy, which was slated to take effect Aug. 1, in four states: Kansas, Alaska, Utah and Wyoming.

Not only that, but the order covers “every school attended by the members of Young America’s Foundation and the children of Moms for Liberty members,” who brought the lawsuit along with the four states and Female Athletes United.

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach cheered the decision, saying that his office has had many court victories, “but to me, this is the biggest one yet.”

“It protects girls and women across the country from having their privacy rights and safety violated in bathrooms and locker rooms and from having their freedom of speech violated if they say there are only two sexes,” the Republican official in a statement.

CIA Mishandled Sexual Assault Allegations, Internal Review Finds

/2 Comments/in , /by

An internal investigation into the CIA revealed that the agency failed to handle allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault within its ranks properly.

CIA Inspector General Robin Ashton said in a statement describing the results of the review that leadership had “not been wholly successful in preventing, or efficiently and effectively responding to, workplace harassment and sexual assault incidents.”

In the 648-page classified report, prompted by the Senate, Ashton made 22 recommendations to CIA Director William Burns and other agency leaders on improving how the agency handles claims of sexual assault and harassment.

Burns said in a statement that the CIA has already taken steps to make it easier for employees to report abuse and expand the agency’s capacity to investigate allegations.

“I take the issue of sexual harassment and sexual assault extremely seriously,” he said. (Read more from “CIA Mishandled Sexual Assault Allegations, Internal Review Finds” HERE)

Report: ‘Openly Genderfluid’ Ex-Biden Official Sam Brinton to Undergo Mental Health Treatment to Resolve Theft Charges

/4 Comments/in , /by

Sam Brinton, an “openly genderfluid” former Department of Energy official under the Biden administration, will reportedly receive mental health treatment to resolve theft charges from stealing a woman’s luggage.

Brinton was reported to have pleaded guilty to petit larceny, which is a misdemeanor, instead of grand larceny, which is a felony offense, according to the Washington Free Beacon. In 2018, Brinton stole fashion designer Asya Khamsin’s luggage while at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Khamsin came forward in 2023, revealing that she had lost luggage in 2018, and photos of Brinton appeared to show him wearing one of her “custom made” outfits, adding that a lot of the outfits Brinton wore had been in her missing luggage.

In a hearing last week at the Arlington General District Court, state prosecutors reportedly announced that Brinton would “undergo mental health treatment, write a letter of apology, and complete 50 hours of community service helping the elderly,” according to the outlet.

“The resolution we came to is supported by the facts and circumstances of the case as a whole,” a spokeswoman for Parisa Dehghani-Tafti, the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Arlington Country said in a statement. “Unfortunately, since this case remains pending, we are prohibited from commenting further.” (Read more from “Report: ‘Openly Genderfluid’ Ex-Biden Official Sam Brinton to Undergo Mental Health Treatment to Resolve Theft Charges” HERE)

Woman Accuses RFK Jr. of Multiple Sexual Assaults

/2 Comments/in , /by

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s former babysitter Eliza Cooney accused him of multiple instances of sexual assault during her employment with the Kennedy family, according to a Vanity Fair expose.

Cooney’s allegations, which occur at points through 1998 and 1999, show a few instances in which Kennedy made unwanted advances toward her.

In a November 1998 diary entry, she said, “From everything everybody says about the Kennedys + their Babysitters, they had me worried. Like I have to watch out, be careful. And the other night in the kitchen w/ Murray I could have sworn he was touching my leg + hand. It seemed like he thought I was somebody else or wasn’t paying attention. Like he would come to every once in a while and snap out of it or I would move away. It was like he was on something or really tired or was missing Mary or was testing me.”

She later said she discovered Kennedy reading her personal diary, which contained the entry. She said she stopped recording her experiences for fear he would read them. A few months later, after Cooney had taken part in a yoga class with a sports bra and leggings, “Kennedy came up behind her, blocked her inside the room, and began groping her, putting his hands on her hips and sliding them up along her rib cage and breasts.”

Kennedy was interrupted by another worker who said something to the effect of, “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do” or “Don’t do anything you wouldn’t want your wife to know about.” (Read more from “Woman Accuses RFK Jr. of Multiple Sexual Assaults” HERE)

WH Staffers Reportedly ‘Scared S–tless’ of Erratic Biden, Tiptoe Around ‘Isolated’ President During Briefings: ‘Not a Pleasant Person to Be Around’

/5 Comments/in , /by

Some White House staffers have been forced to tiptoe around President Biden when briefing him on certain topics because they want to avoid eliciting his wrath and are “scared s–tless” of him, a new report says.

“It’s like, ‘You can’t include that, that will set him off,’ or ‘Put that in, he likes that,’”a senior administration official told Politico, referring to how some of the 81-year-old president’s aides feel they have to walk through a minefield before briefings to avoid him getting angry with them.

“It’s a Rorschach test, not a briefing,” the source said. “Because he is not a pleasant person to be around when he’s being briefed. It’s very difficult, and people are scared s—less of him.”

Biden “doesn’t take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated from their efforts to control it,” the source said.

The White House vehemently rejected the characterizations of the president, with Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates stressing to The Post on Tuesday, “That’s simply not who he is.” (Read more from “WH Staffers Reportedly ‘Scared S–tless’ of Erratic Biden, Tiptoe Around ‘Isolated’ President During Briefings: ‘Not a Pleasant Person to Be Around’” HERE)
