Liberal Media Shocked to Learn Joe Biden Isn’t Doing Too Hot in the Polls

/0 Comments/in , /by

Liberal media is slowly but surely coming to terms that President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election chances look like nothing but a dream.

An MSNBC panel was astounded to find that more Americans believe Biden is the biggest threat to democracy than former President Donald Trump.

“I find it shocking, honestly,” MSNBC political analyst Susan Del Percio said. “I can’t make sense of that number. I wish I could. I wish I could have some really great insight into it, but I don’t know if it’s an outlier or not, because the other numbers of independents are going in the right direction. So, that may be it.”

The panel was referring to a recent PBS Newshour/NPR/Marist poll that found 53 percent of independents believe Biden’s second term will “weaken America.” Meanwhile, only 42 percent of voters think Trump would be a threat to democracy.

At the same time, CNN hurled hard-hitting truth bombs at Biden during a live interview with the president.

Leaked Pitch Reveals Plot by Former Vivek Staffer to Use MAGA Influencers Against Trump, for RFK

/1 Comment/in , /by

A former communications staffer for Vivek Ramaswamy’s 2024 presidential campaign has been trying to leverage pro-Trump and conservative figures to boost content in favor of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running against former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden for the White House, according to a leaked pitch deck obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller.

Zach Henry, who worked as the Deputy Communications Director for Ramaswamy’s campaign, has since started his own firm, Total Virality, and is taking money from the Kennedy campaign. According to FEC reports, RFK Jr.’s campaign paid Total Virality nearly $8,000 in March for “influencer engagement.”

The pitch deck obtained by the Daily Caller shows that Henry was touting his work with RFK alongside screenshots of prominent conservative twitter users.

“RFK’s team contracted Total Virality to help boost his SOTU video. The original agreed upon goal was 4M views (this would have made it the third-highest viewed video ever posted by RFK on the platform),” slide three of the deck says. “We delivered 6M views in the first 24 hours leveraging a custom list of influencers – many of whom were already in our network as well as others we added specifically to this project. It is now RFK’s most-viewed video ever on X.”

The same slide includes screenshots of various prominent Twitter users sharing Kennedy’s State of the Union response video, including avowed Trump supporters and other conservative figures like Scott Adams, Alex Jones, Oli London, Ian Miles Cheong and Joey Mannarino, among others.

Burgeoning Sex Scandal Pits Biden Against His Biggest Backers at Critical Moment

/2 Comments/in , , /by

A new report sheds light on a pervasive culture of sexual harassment plaguing a major federal entity under the watch of President Joe Biden.

Law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton was tasked with investigating the workplace at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) in 2023, and released its 234-page report on Tuesday. Throughout the investigation, 500 individuals, close to one-in-ten employees at the entire FDIC, reported “experiences of sexual harassment, discrimination, and other interpersonal misconduct” in the workplace to the firm’s tip line.

The incidents reported to the firm, the report said, “did not occur in a vacuum,” and were rather the result of a “misogynistic,” “patriarchal,” “insular” and “outdated” workplace. In its executive summary, the firm pulled out specific accounts of such sexual harassment that it discovered during its investigation.

“Women in one field office recounted how, to their dismay, it became routine to hear their supervisor talk about their breasts and legs and his sex life,” the report stated.

“A woman examiner reported on the shock of receiving a picture of an FDIC senior examiner’s private parts out of the blue while serving on detail in a field office, only to be told later by others in that field office that she should stay away from him because he had a ‘reputation,’” the firm reported.

Biden: I’ve Had Best Run of Creating Jobs and Lowering Inflation Ever, ‘It Was 9% When I Came Into Office’

/1 Comment/in , /by

During a portion of an interview with CNN set to air on Wednesday’s broadcast of “OutFront” that was aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Lead,” President Joe Biden stated that no one has ever “had the run we’ve had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation. It was 9% when I came into office, 9%.” But people are right to be concerned about greed from corporations.

Biden said, “[N]o president’s had the run we’ve had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation. It was 9% when I came into office, 9%. But it — look, people have a right to be concerned, ordinary people. The idea that you bounce a check and you get a $30 fee for bouncing the check, I changed that, you can’t charge more than 8 bucks for that or your credit card, your late payment, $35. There’s corporate greed going on out there, and it’s got to be dealt with.” (Read more from “Biden: I’ve Had Best Run of Creating Jobs and Lowering Inflation Ever, ‘It Was 9% When I Came Into Office’” HERE)

Trump Rebukes Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Failed Attempt to Oust Speaker Mike Johnson

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump called on House Republicans to not vote in favor of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., saying “this is not the time” to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The House of Representatives on Wednesday killed an effort by Greene and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., to vote on vacating the chair.

Green appeared to catch most Congressional watchers by surprise when she moved to force a vote on her motion to vacate the chair, which should have allowed for the vote.

Though she has been seen in the past touting a MAGA hat in favor of Trump, the former president called on Republicans to table her motion.

“I absolutely love Marjorie Taylor Greene. She’s got Spirit, she’s got Fight, and I believe she’ll be around, and on our side, for a long time to come,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “However, right now, Republicans have to be fighting the Radical Left Democrats, and all the Damage they have done to our Country. With a Majority of One, shortly growing to three or four, we’re not in a position of voting on a Motion to Vacate. At some point, we may very well be, but this is not the time.” (Read more from “Trump Rebukes Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Failed Attempt to Oust Speaker Mike Johnson” HERE)

‘Extremely Troubling’: Biden Official Suspended for Unnerving Reason

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two GOP lawmakers claimed Monday to have discovered the reason why Robert Malley, President Joe Biden’s special envoy for Iran, was suspended from his role.

Pending a federal investigation, Malley was suspended without pay and had his security clearance revoked in June 2023 with little reason given as to why. Republican Idaho Sen. James Risch and Texas Rep. Mike McCaul sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday saying that their “own investigations have uncovered” that Malley was put under investigation and on leave because “he allegedly transferred classified documents to his personal email account and downloaded these documents to his personal cell phone,” according to The Washington Post.

“It is unclear to whom he intended to provide these documents, but it is believed that a hostile cyber actor was able to gain access to his email and/or phone and obtain the downloaded information,” the lawmakers wrote.

McCaul and Risch asked Blinken in the letter to answer a series of questions about their findings, including how many classified documents Malley was handling, whether he attempted to send them to another party, whether a “malign cyber actor” — such as the Iranian regime — gained access to his phone, and whether he has received warnings from the State Department before about his handling of classified material.

“The allegations we have been privy to are extremely troubling and demand immediate answers,” McCaul and Risch wrote in the letter to Blinken. “These allegations have substantial impact on our national security and people should be held accountable swiftly and strongly. We look forward to your immediate response.” (Read more from “‘Extremely Troubling’: Biden Official Suspended for Unnerving Reason” HERE)

RFK Jr. Said Doctor Thought Spot in Scans Involved ‘A Worm That Got Into My Brain and Ate a Portion of It and Then Died’: NYT

/2 Comments/in , /by

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suffered memory loss and brain fog in 2010, according to the New York Times, which reported that Kennedy said in a 2012 deposition that doctors had seen a dark spot in brain scans and thought there was a tumor. But another doctor thought the area viewed in the scans “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” Kennedy claimed in the deposition, according to the outlet.

During an interview with the Times, Kennedy indicated that he had recovered from the memory loss and mental fog and does not suffer aftereffects from the parasite, which did not necessitate treatment.

Doctors thought that a cyst viewed in scans contained parasite remains, according to the Times, which noted that Kennedy indicated he was not aware of the kind of parasite.

The outlet also reported that Kennedy indicated that he found out about the parasite around the same point that he got diagnosed with mercury poisoning.

“I offer to eat 5 more brain worms and still beat President Trump and President Biden in a debate,” the independent presidential candidate quipped in a post on X. “I feel confident of the result even with a six-worm handicap,” he added in another post.

Democrats Save Johnson: 163 Votes to Continue Johnson’s Coalition Government

/0 Comments/in , /by

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) officially owes his gavel to Democrats.

An overwhelming 163 Democrats chose to continue Mike Johnson’s coalition government with the essential co-Speaker Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), voting to table a motion from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) to strip Johnson of his gavel.

The historic 359 to 43 vote likely cements Johnson’s speakership – for now.

The final tally included seven Democrats voting present and eleven not voting, along with ten Republicans who did not vote.

Ultimately, only 32 Democrats proved unhappy enough with Johnson’s stewardship of the House to vote to enable Greene’s gavel-stripping resolution to move forward. (Read more from “Democrats Save Johnson: 163 Votes to Continue Johnson’s Coalition Government” HERE)

Trial Date Postponed Indefinitely in Trump Case Amidst Evidence Handling Concerns

/1 Comment/in , /by

The trial date for the case involving former President Donald Trump and allegations regarding classified documents has been indefinitely postponed by United States District Judge Aileen M. Cannon, a Trump appointee. Judge Cannon cited the need to address several pre-trial motions before setting a new date in her ruling on Tuesday.

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s unsealing of a superseding indictment in July 2023, which included charges against Carlos De Oliveira, a Mar-a-Lago maintenance worker, prompted the delay. This occurred after the initial indictment against Trump and aide Walter Nauta in June 2023.

“The Court determines that finalization of a trial date at this juncture would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court,” Judge Cannon stated, emphasizing the importance of addressing critical issues before proceeding with the tria

Concerns regarding evidence handling emerged following Smith’s Friday afternoon filing, where he acknowledged discrepancies in the maintenance of evidence obtained during the August 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago. Smith admitted that some boxes containing evidence were not properly maintained, leading to a potential compromise in the integrity of the evidence.

Trump’s attorneys responded swiftly, filing a motion to address the reported violations and indicating the likelihood of filing additional motions. They expressed surprise at the prosecution team’s failure to maintain the integrity of the evidence, despite ample resources at their disposal.

“These issues implicate President Trump’s motion to suppress evidence seized from Mar-a-Lago and the motion to dismiss based on prosecutorial misconduct,” Trump’s attorneys stated, highlighting the significance of the evidence mishandling allegations in the case.

GOP Governor Sounds Alarm on Biden Admin’s Proposal for Air National Guard, Space Force

/1 Comment/in , /by

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott opposed a proposal that could shift members of the Air National Guard to roles in the Space Force without the consent of their respective governors.

In a letter to President Biden, Abbott, who has clashed with the commander in chief on a number of matters, said the proposal is an “intolerable threat” to the National Guard.

“That proposal would give the Secretary of the Air Force unilateral authority to transfer Air National Guard units to the Space Force — without first obtaining gubernatorial consent,” Abbott wrote in the May 3 letter. . .

The Republican governor argued the measure would sideline governors as the commanders in chief of the National Guard in each state and U.S. territory.

“By departing from this sensible arrangement, and allowing the Secretaries to dismantle National Guard units on a whim, Legislative Proposal 480 would set a dangerous precedent,” he added. “Members of the Texas National Guard must always stand ready to respond to natural disasters, civil disturbances, and cartel activity that threaten our way of life.” (Read more from “GOP Governor Sounds Alarm on Biden Admin’s Proposal for Air National Guard, Space Force” HERE)
