Gavin Newsom Will Run for President in 2024 if Biden Doesn’t: Report

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California will run for president in 2024 should President Joe Biden not seek re-election, according to a report by The Wrap on Monday.

One source close to Newsom, a Democratic fundraiser in California, told The Wrap about Newsom’s plans, which were confirmed by another source. Newsom “absolutely is going to announce that he is running for the presidency once Biden announces that he is not running,” said the fundraiser, according to The Wrap.

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, Newsom has been launching ad campaigns in several Republican-run states – challenging their new restrictions on abortion and inviting women there to receive abortions in California. He has also clashed with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and, after the latter flew migrants from the southern border to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, challenged him to a debate.

So far, President Joe Biden has not announced his 2024 plans, though he has mentioned previously that he wishes to run, again. Biden, 79, would turn 82 years old shortly after election day in 2024. (Read more from “Gavin Newsom Will Run for President in 2024 if Biden Doesn’t: Report” HERE)

Dem Candidate Says Biden Is Corrupt, Son Hunter a ‘Dope Fiend’

One Ohio Democrat is taking the idea of running away from the unpopular Joe Biden to a whole new level.

In a virtual town hall on Tuesday, Ohio Democrat David Esrati accused the president of corruption and called his son Hunter Biden a “dope fiend.”

“I know I’m a Democrat and everything, but do you want to tell me what Joe Biden’s done since he got elected when he was 27 years old?” said Esrati, the Democratic nominee for Ohio’s 10th Congressional District. “How does he own all those houses? How is he worth what he’s worth? I mean, yeah, a book deal here or there, but no, something isn’t right about going in and serving your country and getting to be a multimillionaire.”

Vulnerable Democratic House and Senate candidates across the country have distanced themselves from the president ahead of the midterm elections, portraying themselves to voters as independent and bipartisan politicians who aren’t afraid to challenge Biden on policy. But of Democratic congressional candidates’ criticism of Biden this cycle, Esrati’s fiery rebuke is unprecedented in its hostility.

Esrati, who made the comments during a livestream in which he responded to chat messages, suggested that Biden became wealthy through inside knowledge he used to be successful in stock trading. (Read more from “Dem Candidate Says Biden Is Corrupt, Son Hunter a ‘Dope Fiend’” HERE)

Biden Reveals He Hasn’t Made ‘Firm Decision’ on 2024

President Joe Biden said he will decide whether to seek a second term after November’s midterm elections in a wide-ranging interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes, in which he also recommitted to defending Taiwan and declared the COVID-19 pandemic to be over.

“Look, my intention, as I said, to begin with is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention,” Biden said in the sit-down that aired Sunday. “Is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”

Biden, who turns 80 in November, quipped to longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley for the show’s 55th season premiere that he is “in good shape.” He went on to mention election laws that would be prompted by a campaign announcement.

“I’m a great respecter of fate,” he said. “What I’m doing is my job. I’m going to do that job.” (Read more from “Biden Reveals He Hasn’t Made ‘Firm Decision’ on 2024” HERE)

Joe Biden Threatened to Withhold $1 Billion From Ukraine to Protect Company Hunter Was Working With

My Son Hunter, the new movie from Breitbart News, is a fact-based dramatization of the life of debauchery and corruption lived by the first son Hunter Biden. Although the movie takes certain artistic liberties, many scenes portray true accounts of the Biden scion’s life; this “True Fact” series will detail those accuracies.

True Fact: Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion from Ukraine to protect Ukrainian energy company Burisma, while Hunter was on the board.

Then-Vice President Biden pressed the Ukrainian government in 2015 to fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was probing Burisma Holdings while Hunter was being paid over $80,000 a month to sit on the board. Biden threatened to withhold U.S. aid over the prosecutor’s firing and boasted about the move during a 2018 appearance at the Council of Foreign Relations.

“I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours,” Biden told the audience.

“I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a b**ch. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time,” he continued. (Read more from “Joe Biden Threatened to Withhold $1 Billion From Ukraine to Protect Company Hunter Was Working With” HERE)

Biden Administration Intentionally Weakening Military: Retired General

When the United States acts, the world is always watching, and one of the loudest messages since President Joe Biden took office came from how the United States handled its withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.

What message did that send globally to other government leaders who may see America as an adversary? That was a question asked by Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council, during a panel discussion Thursday about America’s role on the world stage at the Pray Vote Stand Summit in Atlanta hosted by FRC Action, the legislative affiliate of Family Research Council.

“I think that will go down in history as the worst foreign policy failure in U.S. history. Every decision that was made was wrong,” said Lt. General (Ret.) William Boykin, executive vice president at Family Research Council. “What did that say to the rest of the world? It said that we have weak leadership. And you have to ask yourself, why did Vladimir Putin refrain from attacking Ukraine during the Trump administration? And then he went in with barrels blazing, under the Biden administration, and I will tell you, I think a lot of that goes back to the weakness that people—both our adversaries and our friends—recognized in the Biden administration.”

Other countries recognize that the Biden administration is weak and indecisive on many issues, he said, not just how the U.S. military left Afghanistan.

Boykin mentioned Biden’s approach to the Paris climate change treaty and his efforts to get the United States back into the Iran nuclear deal, formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Biden Repeats Charlottesville ‘Fine People Hoax’ at ‘Unity Summit’

President Joe Biden repeated the Charlottesville “fine people hoax” on Thursday at his “unity summit,” falsely claiming that then-President Donald Trump referred to neo-Nazis as “very fine people. Trump said they should be “condemned totally.”

Biden spoke after Susan Bro, the mother of Heather Heyer, the left-wing protester who was murdered by a neo-Nazi during the unrest in Charlottesville in August 2017.

There were peaceful protests on either side of the question of whether to remove a statute of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, but these were overtaken by right-wing extremist groups and left-wing rioters who clashed in the streets. Heyer was murdered when a neo-Nazi purposely drove his car into a peaceful left-wing protest.

President Trump issued three statements on the violence. In the first, he condemned violence on “all sides.” In the second, he specifically condemned neo-Nazi groups, white supremacists, and the KKK. In the third, during a press conference, he said that there had been “very fine people” in Charlottesville, but made clear he was referring to peaceful protesters like Heyer. He said specifically: “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”

The “fine people hoax” has been publicly debunked several times: for example, by then-Vice President Mike Pence at the 2020 vice-presidential debate; and again during the second impeachment trial of (by then) former President Trump.

FBI Insiders Say White Supremacy Threat Overblown as Biden Opens Summit About Racists, Extremists

President Biden will convene a forum Thursday at the White House aimed at confronting what civil rights groups, local officials and academics say is an explosive rise in extremism and White supremacy that threatens the core of America’s democracy.

The “United We Stand” summit builds on the administration’s push to root out racially motivated domestic violent extremists. The threat sparked a sweeping strategy that included the creation of a specialized Justice Department unit to combat domestic terrorism. Mr. Biden will deliver the keynote address to highlight the administration’s response to hate and “put forward a shared vision for a more united America,” officials said.

Current and former FBI agents tell The Washington Times that the perceived threat has become overblown under the administration. They say bureau analysts and top officials are pressuring FBI agents to create domestic terrorist cases and tag people as White supremacists to meet internal metrics.

“The demand for White supremacy” coming from FBI headquarters “vastly outstrips the supply of White supremacy,” said one agent, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “We have more people assigned to investigate White supremacists than we can actually find.”

The agent said those driving bureau policies “have already determined that White supremacy is a problem” and set agencywide policy to elevate racially motivated domestic extremism cases as priorities.

Most Voters Say Biden Was Consulted, Profited From Son’s Overseas Business Dealings

By Washington Times. The majority of voters think President Biden was consulted about and profited from Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings, according to a poll showing that suspicions about influence peddling and corruption are not subsiding as the president’s term approaches the halfway mark.

A whopping 62% of likely voters told Rasmussen Reports that Mr. Biden was likely involved in Hunter Biden’s far-flung business dealings, including at least one deal involving a company in mainland China.

One-third of voters said they don’t think it’s likely that Mr. Biden was consulted about his son’s deals.

“The abandoned laptop that revealed Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealing remains an important story, according to voters, many of whom think it could have changed the 2020 election,” the pollsters said.

Indeed, questions aren’t going away about foreign business deals brokered by Hunter Biden and other family members while Mr. Biden was vice president in the Obama administration. (Read more from “Most Voters Say Biden Was Consulted, Profited From Son’s Overseas Business Dealings” HERE)

‘The American People Won’: Biden Celebrates ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ as Market Plummets Over August Inflation News

President Joe Biden celebrated the passage of the “Inflation Reduction Act” by hosting an event at the White House Tuesday, the same day the Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report showing inflation had continued to rise in August, causing markets to plummet.

“This bill cut costs for families. Helped reduce inflation at the kitchen table, because that’s what [people] look at — how much of their monthly bills they have to pay out for their necessities,” Biden said in a speech delivered outside the White House, thanking West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin for voting for the bill.

“This bill alone is going to lower the deficit by $300 billion over the next decades” by lowering the cost of prescription drugs subsidized by the government, he added, saying the “American people won.”

The Bureau of Labor Statistics report, released Tuesday, showed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key measure of inflation, increased by 8.3 percent in August when compared to the same month last year and increased 0.1 percent from July.

Biden Tells Americans They ‘Owe It’ to 9/11 Victims, Insisting the U.S. Needs to Be More United Despite Attacking Trump Supporters

By Townhall. Joe Biden pushed Americans once again to stand up for democracy on the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

He told the crowd that Americans “owe it” to the victims of 9/11 to defend democracy.

“We have an obligation, a duty, a responsibility to defend, preserve and protect our democracy… the very democracy that defends the right to freedom that those terrorists on 9/11 sough to bury in the burning fire and smoke and ash. And that takes a commitment on the part of all of us,” Biden said.

This comes 10 days after the president called not only former President Trump, but his supporters a “threat to democracy.”

However Biden has since tried to save face, walking back his comments claiming that he actually does not feel that Trump supporters are a threat to the U.S. (Read more from “Biden Tells Americans They ‘Owe It’ to 9/11 Victims, Insisting the U.S. Needs to Be More United” HERE)
