Joe Biden Trashes Supreme Court, Ignores All Questions From Media Following Disastrous Debate

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden struggled on Monday in his first remarks since his disastrous debate performance last week and refused to answer all questions from reporters.

Biden’s remarks came in response to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling this week that presidents are immune from criminal prosecution for official acts they make as president, but not official conduct.

Critics noticed that Biden, who only managed to be able off a teleprompter for about four minutes before having to call it quits, came to the press looking orange after he appeared a pasty white color during last week’s debate.

“This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America. Each of us is equal before the law. No one, no one is above the law, not even the president of the United States,” Biden said. “But today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, today’s decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. This is a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Trashes Supreme Court, Ignores All Questions From Media Following Disastrous Debate” HERE)

New Whistleblower Report Corroborates Charges of FBI Retaliation

/0 Comments/in , /by

The House Judiciary Committee received a new whistleblower complaint Tuesday morning corroborating previous reports of political retaliation within the FBI.

On Friday, attorneys sent a complaint for an anonymous supervisory special agent (SSA) to the Justice Department inspector general and the department’s Office of Professional Responsibility. The complainant, who is a registered Democrat and has won awards as an agent for work against child trafficking, reports witnessing colleagues within the FBI experience political retribution. The whistleblower also claimed to have been retaliated against. The complaints were submitted to the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government and shared with The Federalist.

According to the disclosures, the latest whistleblower “witnessed firsthand as an SSA 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.”

“The outcomes of clearance investigations and adjudications were often pre-determined by the Division’s acting Deputy Assistant Director and the acting Section Chief responsible for security clearance investigations and adjudications, who often overruled line staff and even dictated the wording of documents in the clearance process,” the disclosure read.

The special agent in question was suspended last year after serving half a decade as an SSA since 2018. Protected disclosures were particularly made against Jeffrey Veltri, the acting deputy assistant director of the FBI’s Security Division, and Dena Perkins, the acting section chief for the Security Integrity and Investigations Section.

Remember When Hundreds of Illegal Aliens Stormed the Southern Border? Well…

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dozens of illegal aliens who stormed the U.S.-Mexico border in March were released into the country, according to a report from the New York Post.

Reportedly, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson confirmed to The Post that the illegals were released into the United States. In May, a judge in El Paso dismissed the criminal charges against all the border-crossers on a technicality, the outlet added.

The illegal immigrants accused of taking part in the riot were then released from state custody and handed over to ICE, where 43 of them were reportedly released into the country.

The spokesperson told the Post that ICE determines who is released on a “case-by-case basis.”

“ERO [Enforcement and Removal Operations] officers make decisions on associated enforcement actions and apply prosecutorial discretion, where applicable, in a responsible manner, informed by their experience as law enforcement professionals and in a way that best protects the communities we serve,” the spokesperson said.

Judge Postpones Trump’s New York Sentencing to September 18

/0 Comments/in , /by

A judge postponed Tuesday Donald Trump’s sentencing for covering up hush money payments until September 18, the first fallout of a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, pushing it to after the Republican convention.

The United States’ top court ruled Monday that Trump enjoys some immunity from prosecution as a former president, a decision also set to delay his trial for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election.

Hours after the ruling was announced, Trump’s legal team said in a letter to the New York court that the immunity ruling vindicated Trump’s position that he should not be judged for his “official acts,” and reiterated his call for the conviction to be set aside.

The sentencing had been scheduled for July 11, days before the Republican National Convention on July 15 at which Trump is expected to be proclaimed the party’s nominee for the battle against President Joe Biden for the White House.

“The matter is adjourned to September 18, 2024, at 10 am for the imposition of sentence, if such is still necessary,” Judge Juan Merchan said in a court filing to allow time for consideration of the bombshell Supreme Court ruling.

Steve Bannon Begins Prison Term, Here’s What His Life Will Look Like

/1 Comment/in , , /by

. . .Steve Bannon will join hundreds of political prisoners who have been wrongfully incarcerated during the Biden administration when he turns himself into the Federal Correctional Institution Danbury, a low-security federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut.

Some suspect the former White House chief strategist will be housed in protective custody of the Sentencing Handling Unit, or SHU, of the Danbury prison as have been other high-profile celebrity inmates.

But FCI Danbury, which houses over 1,000 inmates, most of whom are sex offenders, doesn’t have individual cells. Instead, inmates are housed in open pods.

A Jan. 6 political prisoner, who has been transferred to 26 correctional facilities while in pretrial detention, described what life will look like for Bannon behind the gates of the Connecticut prison.

“If Bannon were to be sent to a U.S. penitentiary, he would be killed, but the low security prison in Danbury is where most prisoners would prefer to do their time,” political prisoner Ryan Samsel told WorldNetDaily in an exclusive interview on a surveilled call from MDC Brooklyn, a prison where inmates are regularly stabbed to death.

Biden’s Family Has Rendered Their Decision About Joe’s 2024 Prospects

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Not that I was expecting Joe Biden to drop out, but the chatter was becoming deafening among liberal circles. Still, the campaign is in a state of chaos over the president’s disastrous debate, sending unhinged fundraising emails that will indeed create more headaches among Democrats. The day’s message is that Biden is the nominee, and you can do nothing about it. Also, share these trite and laughably false talking points to keep Joe alive politically in 2024.

After Biden’s catastrophic debate against Trump, the president met with his family at Camp David to discuss the way forward. Joe is staying, but one family member was quite adamant that the president does not kowtow to outside pressure and drop out. And this individual wasn’t Jill (via NYT):

President Biden’s family is urging him to stay in the race and keep fighting despite last week’s disastrous debate performance, even as some members of his clan privately expressed exasperation at how he was prepared for the event by his staff, people close to the situation said on Sunday.

Mr. Biden huddled with his wife, children and grandchildren at Camp David while he tried to figure out how to tamp down Democratic anxiety. While his relatives are acutely aware of how poorly he did against former President Donald J. Trump, they argued that he could still show the country that he is capable of serving for another four years.

Mr. Biden has also been soliciting ideas from advisers about how to proceed, and his staff has been discussing whether he should hold a news conference or sit for interviews to defend himself and change the narrative, but nothing has been decided yet. Aides were burning phone lines over the weekend to prevent major elected officials and financial supporters from abandoning him.

One of the strongest voices imploring Mr. Biden to resist pressure to drop out was his son Hunter Biden, whom the president has long leaned on for advice, said one of the people informed about the discussions, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations. Hunter Biden wants Americans to see the version of his father that he knows — scrappy and in command of the facts — rather than the stumbling, aging president Americans saw on Thursday night.

Does Joe Biden Really Think People Will Believe His New Claim?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .During a fundraiser in New Jersey on Saturday, Biden claimed that he won over more undecided voters than former President Donald Trump post his disastrous debate performance.

Biden insisted that the malfunctions he suffered during the 90-minute gaffe-filled debate actually impressed undecided voters rather than deter them from voting for him. . .

“Research during the debate shows us converting more undecided voters than Trump did, in large part because of his conduct on Jan. 6,” Biden told the crowd. “People remember the bad things during his presidency.”

The 81-year-old’s bad debate night prompted the country, including Democrats, to call on Biden to drop out of the race, citing his old age and mental acuity.

First Lady Jill Biden also tried to fool the crowd into thinking her husband was having just one bad night despite him having countless public malfunctions in the past. (Read more from “Does Joe Biden Really Think People Will Believe His New Claim?” HERE)

It Took a War for NATO Members to Actually Take Their Obligations Seriously With Biden at the Helm

/0 Comments/in , /by

Despite President Joe Biden’s claims that he helped strengthen NATO, a transatlantic alliance critically reliant on the U.S., it wasn’t until a war broke out in Eastern Europe that alliance members started taking its defense spending commitments seriously.

Biden has boasted on numerous occasions that he made NATO more powerful than former President Donald Trump did, helping to expand the alliance and restore its reputation on the global stage. But NATO members were spending less on defense under Biden until the Russia-Ukraine war broke out, prompting the alliance to finally increase spending, according to official alliance documents.

Biden claimed during a debate against former President Donald Trump on Thursday that NATO was “strong” under his administration and bragged about how he got “50 other nations around the world to support Ukraine,” warning that Trump would pull out of the alliance if reelected.

His comments echo remarks made weeks and months earlier, in which he claimed his administration was responsible for NATO’s success.

“Trump wants to eviscerate NATO. He thinks NATO is useless,” Biden told Time in an interview in June. “NATO is considerably stronger than it was when I took office. I put it together. Not only did I reestablish the fact that it was the strongest alliance in the history of the world, I was able to expand it.” (Read more from “It Took a War for NATO Members to Actually Take Their Obligations Seriously With Biden at the Helm” HERE)

Supreme Court Jan. 6 Ruling Downgraded ‘Insurrection’ to Mere Trespassing

/1 Comment/in , /by

Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley opined at the Hill saying that Friday’s Supreme Court decision holding that the most severe law cited in January 6 prosecutions does not apply to riots or protests effectively means that the oft-repeated accusations of “insurrection” have been downgraded to mere trespassing.

As Breitbart News reported this past Friday, the Supreme Court decided in Fischer vs. U.S. that the “Department of Justice had taken too broad a view of [18 U.S.C.] 1512(c)(2), a law that prohibits destruction of evidence but was not intended for protests.”

It should be noted that there is a federal insurrection statute, found at 18 U.S.C. 2383, but few if any January 6 rioters were ever charged with that. Instead, the most serious charge they were hit with was under Section 1512(c)(2), which is about obstructing an official proceeding by destroying or hiding documents meant for use in that proceeding.

“Unless the defendants could be shown to have interfered with the delivery of documents to Congress, they could not be prosecuted under the statute — as hundreds of people, including former President Donald Trump, have been,” noted the report.

Most strikingly, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson — a liberal judge appointed by President Joe Biden — sided with the conservatives, while Justice Amy Coney Barrett, appointed by former President Donald Trump, sided with the liberals.

U.S. Military Bases in Europe Placed on Heightened Security Alert

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several U.S. military bases in European countries such as Germany and Italy were placed on an increased security alert over the weekend.

Bases such as the U.S. Army Garrison in Stuttgart, Germany, the U.S. Army’s Rheinland-Pfalz base, and the U.S. Army’s Ramstein Air Base were among the bases that were placed on a threat level of “Charlie,” according to Stars and Stripes. . .

Other U.S. military bases such as the U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz’s base in Baumholder, Germany, and other military bases in Romania, Bulgaria, and the Aviano Air Base in Italy also increased their threat level to “Charlie.”

The outlet noted that another base in Germany, the Spangdahlem Air Base, directed military members not to wear their uniforms off base, or even when commuting to work. . .

After the Bravo threat level is Charlie, the second highest threat level, which “applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received” that indicates “some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely.” (Read more from “U.S. Military Bases in Europe Placed on Heightened Security Alert” HERE)
