WATCH: Biden Gives Completely Unintelligible Speech To Newly Sworn U.S. Citizens

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Joe Biden has added to our lexicon in some colorful ways.

He taught us the phrase “dog-faced pony soldier.” He creatively summarized the Declaration of Independence. He even resurrected an archaic term with the use of “malarkey.”

And now he’ll teach us another word as we try to make sense of what happened during the White House naturalization ceremony on Friday: paraphasia.

California Has Found a New Way to Penalize Pro-Second Amendment Americans

/1 Comment/in , , /by

. . .In San Jose, the city is mulling charging gun owners to cover the cost of firearm-related violence (via Axios):

San Jose will require gun owners to compensate taxpayers for gun-related emergency responses, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Why it matters: It’s the first U.S. city to take such a step. The move, approved unanimously by the San Jose City Council on Tuesday, comes after last month’s mass shooting at a transit station in the city.

The big picture: The ordinance requires every firearm owner to buy liability insurance coverage and pay an annual fee for medical and police responses to gun-related injuries and deaths, the Chronicle reports.

Officials haven’t decided how much gun owners would be required to pay annually but the amount would be determined following a gun harm study from the Pacific Institute on Research and Evaluation, which is expected to be completed this fall.

Establishment Media Lays Out Pete Buttigieg’s Path to Presidency; Trouble in Bidenland: White House Forced to Address Anti-Kamala Leaks

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Vice President Kamala Harris is facing White House sabotage as the establishment media lays out Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg’s path to the presidency.

With Harris’s history of “mistreatment of employees and dissent” before entering the White House, the establishment media has begun reporting on the infighting and “sabotage” impacting the office of the Vice President.

“It’s a whisper campaign designed to sabotage her,” Biden’s senior adviser Cedric Richmond said, admitting Friday to the Hill the infighting is real.

Axios reported Friday Harris’s aides are panicked that she is “f**king up” and perhaps “shouldn’t be the heir apparent” for 2024’s presidential race because she “could not defeat whomever the Republican Party puts up.”

On Wednesday, a White House staffer told Politico that Harris’s aides “are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment.” (Read more from “Establishment Media Lays Out Pete Buttigieg’s Path to Presidency” HERE)

Trouble in Bidenland: White House Forced to Address Anti-Kamala Leaks

By Breitbart. The White House on Friday dismissed comments from anonymous sources complaining about the “abusive” enforcement in Vice President Kamala Harris’s office in recent reports.

“I would first note that I try not to speak to or engage on anonymous reports or anonymous sources,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily press briefing when asked about the reports.

The White House frequently and systematically uses anonymous sources to brief reporters on their forthcoming agenda, requiring them to agree to only refer to officials as a “senior administration official.”

Anonymous White House officials told Axios in a report Friday that the vice president’s office is a “s**tshow.” . . .

“It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like shit,” said a person Politico cited as having “direct knowledge” of the situation. (Read more from “Trouble in Bidenland: White House Forced to Address Anti-Kamala Leaks” HERE)

DHS Insanity: ‘Perfect Storm’ of ‘Violent Extremist-White Supremacists’ Is Imminent

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. A Homeland Security bulletin obtained by ABC talks about “violent extremists” and the July 4th holiday.

It warned “attacks” against a “range of potential targets.” With no warning, of course. Those “domestic violent extremists” – aka DVEs, the feds said, are motivated by “violent ideologies” and the “ethnically motivated violent extremist-white supremacists,” or those RMVE-WSs, were sharing information about “mass gatherings.” AND “law enforcement officers.”

“We have the perfect storm,” ABC was told by a “senior law enforcement official.”

So the network posted online: “‘Perfect storm’: Bulletin warns of extremist violence as pandemic restrictions lift.”

However, buried down in the report was the perhaps-significant comment that, “no specific plot has been identified for Independence Day,” but that the warning “ominously” said federal officials are seeing “evidence of planning” by radicals.

DHS Raises Alarms over Potential For Summer Violence Pegged to August Conspiracy Theory

By CNN. . .In a closed-door meeting last Wednesday, DHS officials briefed lawmakers on the role that misinformation and disinformation play in creating circumstances for people to act violently, according to a congressional source familiar with the briefing. . .

The department has “no evidence” of a threat associated with the supposed date of Trump’s return to office, but historically some domestic violent extremists “have conducted violence in furtherance of conspiracy theories,” the bulletin said.

The bulletin also assessed the possibility that domestic terrorists might seek to exploit the easing of Covid-19 restrictions in order to attack a range of potential targets. The bulletin and briefing were first reported by Politico. (Read more from “DHS Raises Alarms over Potential For Summer Violence Pegged to August Conspiracy Theory” HERE)

Grand Jury Indicts Trump Organization

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. On Wednesday night, The New York Times reported, “Trump Organization and Top Executive Are Indicted in Tax Investigation.” The executive in question is Allen Weisselberg, the organization’s Chief Financial Officer. The charges are “not immediately clear,” because the indictment has not been unsealed. It is expected to be once Weisselberg and lawyers appear in court, which is expected to be tomorrow.

Nevertheless, there is some speculation. From The Times:

But prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney’s office have been examining bonuses and luxury perks that Mr. Weisselberg received — including an apartment in Manhattan, leased Mercedes-Benz cars and private school tuition for at least one of his grandchildren — and whether taxes should have been paid on those benefits.

The indictment is a major development in the investigation led by the district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., who has been conducting a sweeping inquiry into Mr. Trump and his business dealings along with the New York State attorney general, Letitia James.

Trump Org, CFO Indicted by New York Grand Jury: Reports

By The Hill. . .Two people told the Post that Weisselberg is expected to surrender Thursday morning, and later that day, he’s expected to be arraigned in front of a state court judge. The Trump Organization is also expected to be arraigned. The New York Times reported that the indictments would be unsealed following the court appearances.

People familiar with the plans told the Post that charges are not expected against former President Trump himself at this time. . .

The Journal reported that the company and Weisselberg are expected to face charges related to allegations that Trump Organization employees avoided paying taxes on fringe benefits such as cars, apartments and other bonuses they received through the company.

Ronald Fischetti, an attorney representing former President Trump, said in an interview on Monday that Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.’s office told him it is currently considering charges against the Trump Organization and individual employees for allegedly not paying taxes on company benefits. There are no charges related to hush money allegations or potential fraud regarding property valuations, he said. (Read more from “Trump Org, CFO Indicted by New York Grand Jury: Reports” HERE)

Report: This Republican Might Be on Pelosi’s Jan. 6 Committee; House GOP Leaders Won’t Support Probe

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Hill. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is “seriously considering” including a Republican among her appointments to the new select committee dedicated to investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, an aide said Monday.

Under the resolution to create the panel, Pelosi would appoint eight members, while House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) would name five.

The House is expected to vote Wednesday on the resolution to create the panel, which is expected to pass largely along party lines and will be tasked with investigating “the facts, circumstances, and causes relating to the domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol.” . . .

The advantage for Pelosi to include a Republican among her picks would be to ensure that someone like Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) or Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) would have a voice in the investigation and could lend some bipartisan credence to the panel.

Kinzinger and Cheney are among the handful of Republicans who have openly criticized their party leaders for promoting former President Trump’s false claims of election fraud and voted to impeach him for inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection.

House GOP Leaders Won’t Support Probe of Jan. 6 Capitol Riot

By Associated Press. House Republican leaders say they will oppose the creation of a select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol — and have so far declined to say whether they will even participate in the probe.

In a memo to all House Republicans late Tuesday, No. 2 House Republican Steve Scalise said the House panel “is likely to pursue a partisan agenda” in investigating the violent attack by former President Donald Trump’s supporters, and he encouraged Republicans to vote against it. A vote on a resolution that would create the panel is scheduled for Wednesday.

Earlier in the day, Scalise declined to say whether members of his party would even agree to sit on the committee, telling reporters at a news conference that “I can’t answer that question.” House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy also declined to say whether Republicans would participate.

Judge Gives SC Man Affiliated With Proud Boys 28 Months in Prison for Making Threats

By Yahoo News. A federal judge Tuesday sentenced a Lexington County man who was at the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and was an affiliate of the Proud Boys to 28 months in prison for making interstate phone calls to threaten a former federal prosecutor.

Defendant James “Jimmy” Giannakos, 47, was not making “idle threats” when he made six menacing phone calls to Florida telephone numbers because the object of his threats, a former federal prosecutor, had been quoted in a nationally distributed news story about Proud Boys leader Enrique Torrio, said U.S. District Judge Terry Wooten during a two-hour morning hearing at the federal courthouse in Columbia.

“Anyone who heard these threats would be frightened and afraid,” Wooten told Giannakos just before he gave the defendant two years and four months in prison.

Earlier at the hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Elliott Daniels urged Wooten to give Giannakos a sentence at the upper range of the federal court guidelines of 24-30 months in prison. (Read more from “Judge Gives SC Man Affiliated With Proud Boys 28 Months in Prison for Making Threats” HERE)

State Investigating Hundreds of Cases Stemming From 2020 Election; Maricopa County Won’t Use Voting Machines for Future Elections; Report: William Barr Called Former President Trump’s Election Fraud Claims ‘Bullsh*t’

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

By WND. . .Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has confirmed his state alone has some 500 election fraud cases pending.

His state, by the way, is working on new election integrity laws, too, as several other states already have adopted, drawing the wrath of President Biden’s attorney general, Merrick Garland.

Paxton confirmed Texas “will prosecute voter fraud every time we find it.”

OANN reported the announcement arrived after Paxton shared information about a woman “being arrested for multiple counts of election fraud in a 2018 local election.” (Read more from “State Investigating Hundreds of Cases Stemming From 2020 Election” HERE)

Maricopa County Says Voting Machines Subpoenaed for 2020 Election Audit Won’t Be Used in Future

By Washington Examiner. Voting machines subpoenaed by the Republican-led Arizona Senate for its audit of the 2020 election will be removed from service, Maricopa County officials announced on Monday.

Maricopa County Attorney Allister Adel responded to a May 20 letter from Arizona’s Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who advised the county to replace its voting machines over concerns the review compromised their “security and integrity.” The audit included the capturing of information from the equipment leased from Dominion Voting Systems, a voting machine company that has faced and engaged in litigation to fight a wave of election fraud claims.

“The voters of Maricopa County can rest assured, the County will never use equipment that could pose a risk to free and fair elections. The County recognizes Secretary Hobbs’ authority under A.R.S. § 16-442 to certify equipment for use in Arizona’s elections. As a result, the County will not use the subpoenaed equipment in any future elections,” the county said in a statement on Monday.

“Maricopa County noted this potential risk in February when it asked the court for guidance on the Senate subpoenas. Since then, the County has implemented back up plans that include acquiring new tabulation equipment for the March and May jurisdictional elections in 2021,” the statement added.

Report: William Barr Called Former President Trump’s Election Fraud Claims ‘Bullsh*t’

By Breitbart. Former Attorney General William Barr reportedly described former President Donald Trump’s claims about election fraud as “bullshit,” according to a book on the final days of his administration.

The disclosure is from the book titled Betrayal by ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl that is scheduled to be released in November, according to the Hill. . .

“My attitude was: It was put-up or shut-up time,” Barr reportedly told Karl. “If there was evidence of fraud, I had no motive to suppress it. But my suspicion all the way along was that there was nothing there. It was all bulls**t.”

The excerpt continued:

Barr also looked into allegations that voting machines across the country were rigged to switch Trump votes to Biden votes. He received two briefings from cybersecurity experts at the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. “We realized from the beginning it was just bulls**t,” Barr told me, noting that even if the machines somehow changed the count, it would show up when they were recounted by hand. “It’s a counting machine, and they save everything that was counted. So you just reconcile the two. There had been no discrepancy reported anywhere, and I’m still not aware of any discrepancy.”

Manhattan DA Isn’t Filing Charges Against Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance has indicated he does not currently plan to charge the Trump Organization with crimes related to allegations of “hush money” payments and real estate value manipulations, according to a personal lawyer for Donald Trump.

Ronald Fischetti, a New York attorney who represents the former president, said on Monday that in a meeting last week, he asked Vance’s team for details on charges they were considering.

According to Fischetti, members of Vance’s team said they were considering bringing charges against the Trump Organization and its individual employees related to alleged failures to pay taxes on corporate benefits and perks. It has been widely reported that those perks included cars and apartments and appear to only involve a small number of executives.
