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.

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)

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.

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.

Prosecutor Who Questioned Stormy Daniels During Trump Hush Money Trial Donated to Biden’s 2020 Campaign

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Manhattan prosecutor who questioned porn star Stormy Daniels Tuesday about her alleged sexual encounter with former President Donald Trump has a long history of giving money to Democrats, including to President Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.

Susan Hoffinger gave the Biden campaign $250 in February 2020 and made a subsequent $250 contribution the following month, according to Election Commission documents.

Along with her $500 donation to the Biden campaign, Hoffinger, who was hired by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in 2022, also contributed more than $900 to ActBlue during the 2020 election cycle.

ActBlue is the fundraising platform used by numerous Democratic politicians and liberal organizations.

Hoffinger appears to have donated exclusively to Democrats going back to 2004, filings with the FEC show, with her first contributions going to former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.

Report: Biden Withholding Weapons From Israel; Dems Impeached Trump Over Ukraine Aid

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new report appears to confirm earlier claims that the Biden administration has been withholding arms from Israel in an attempt to send a message of disapproval about Israel’s policy of entering Rafah to finish off Hamas terrorists.

Breitbart News reported earlier in the week about claims in other publications that the U.S. had been withholding aid. Israel denied any delay, but the White House gave a noncommittal reply to reporters’ questions in a briefing Monday.

Politico reported Tuesday that the claims appear to have been correct, and referred to specific “smart” bombs:

The Biden administration is holding up shipments of two types of Boeing-made precision bombs to send a political message to Israel, according to a U.S. official and six other people with knowledge of the deliberations.

The U.S. has yet to sign off on a pending sale of Boeing’s Joint Direct Attack Munitions — both the munitions and kits that convert them to smart weapons — and Small Diameter Bombs, according to six industry and congressional sources with knowledge of the discussions.

…

The munitions were ready to be shipped to Israel when word of the hold came down, said one senior congressional aide and two other people familiar with the incident. A third person, an industry official, said the administration told Boeing to halt the shipment since the approval was held up for “political reasons,” and not because of supply chain strain.

Stormy Daniels Takes the Witness Stand in Trump’s NY Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

As the third week of witness testimony in Donald Trump’s hush money trial takes place, all eyes are on who will be called next and whether the former president will be able to abide by the terms of his now twice-broken gag order that bars him from speaking publicly about jurors, witnesses and some others connected to the case.

Porn actor Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was called to the witness stand by mid-morning, following testimony from a Penguin Random House executive.

Before Monday’s testimony began, Judge Juan M. Merchan found Trump in contempt of court for a second time, fining him $1,000 for a single violation and sternly warning the loquacious former president that jail time would be considered for future violations “if necessary and appropriate.”

Two people tied to the Trump Organization took the stand on Monday — former controller Jeffrey McConney and accounts payable supervisor Deborah Tarasoff — elaborating on a key piece of the charges against Trump: Michael Cohen’s reimbursement for the $130,000 Daniels payment.

Tuesday’s witness testimony is set to dig further into the events and people involved in what prosecutors have said was a scheme to influence the 2016 presidential election by buying and burying negative stories about the then-candidate.

Reporter Uses ABC News’ Airwaves to Pop Democrats’ Bubble About Biden’s Re-Election Chances

/0 Comments/in , /by

An NPR reporter delivered news from the campaign trail on Sunday that doesn’t look good for President Joe Biden.

During a roundtable discussion on ABC News’ “This Week,” NPR correspondent Asma Khalid confirmed that voters who typically compose the “core” of the Democratic Party lack enthusiasm for Biden’s re-election.

Khalid was pushing back on Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s claim that voters are falsely “glamorizing” Donald Trump’s presidency.

“What I’ve already heard in so many of my interviews with people is a lackluster sense of enthusiasm,” she said of voters’ attitudes toward Biden, “whether it’s black voters, whether it’s — you’d call them, sort of like, disaffected Republicans.” . . .

“There’s a whole bunch of things that went right for Biden, I would argue, in 2020: It was unity and opposition to Donald Trump,” she explained. “To make this a referendum is what the Biden campaign wants, but it’s really challenging because many voters are looking at this election as a referendum on [Biden].”

Alvin Bragg’s Team Finally Produced Docs at Center of Case Against Trump — There Was Just One Catch

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Prosecutors finally displayed the documents at the heart of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump on Monday, but have yet to establish a direct link to demonstrate Trump’s culpability.

Until Monday, prosecutors had been focused on setting up other pieces of their case: the context for the $130,000 payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about claims of a sexual encounter and the broader “conspiracy” to influence the 2016 election they allege Trump was involved in. Monday’s witnesses — former Trump Organization controller Jeffrey McConney and Trump Organization accounts payable supervisor Deborah Tarasoff — offered starkly different testimony than earlier witnesses like David Pecker and Keith Davidson, providing no salacious celebrity stories and an almost exclusive focus on accounting.

Through their testimony, prosecutors introduced the invoices, ledger entries and checks the 34-felony count indictment against Trump claims he falsified, allegedly to reimburse his former attorney Michael Cohen for the Daniels payment.

Bragg was only able to bring the core charges for falsifying business records, which had passed the statute of limitations, by charging them as felonies and alleging they were done to conceal or commit another crime, which is why much of the prosecution’s case has focused on highlighting Trump’s involvement in the alleged “conspiracy.”

During cross examination with McConney and Tarasoff, Trump’s defense sought to cast doubt on the president’s personal responsibility by raising questions about his direct involvement in repaying Cohen.

Democrat Rhetoric Gets Violent: Maxine Claims Trump Supporters ‘Training up in the Hills’ for Civil War

/0 Comments/in , /by

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said on this week’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show” that the Department of Justice should investigate “right-wing organizations” who supported former President Donald Trump “training up in the hill” for a civil war.

Waters said, “You cannot trust anything that Donald Trump has to say no matter if he loses he is going to say it was fraud. He still has not accepted what happened in the last presidential election. We have to be very concerned about a former president of the United States talking about attacking his own country, talking about perhaps a bloodbath, talking about perhaps there is going to be trouble. He said it in so many different ways we should take him seriously. This man does not believe in the Constitution. He wants to be a dictator. This is a dangerous human being. We have to know what our country is going to do to protect us from him.” (Read more from “Democrat Rhetoric Gets Violent: Maxine Claims Trump Supporters ‘Training up in the Hills’ for Civil War” HERE)
