Top Ex-Spies Who (Still) Lie About Hunter Biden’s Laptop Are Anything but ‘Patriots’

/3 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Nearly four years after 51 former top intel officials smeared The Post and misled the nation about Hunter Biden’s laptop, not one has any regrets — even though the FBI and Justice Department have confirmed the computer’s authenticity and federal prosecutors even cited it as evidence in the first son’s gun case.

Indeed, the 51 “spies who lied” in a letter falsely suggesting the laptop report was “Russian disinfo” are proud of deceiving Americans, with a lawyer for some even calling their deception “patriotic.”

No: They sold out their own credibility for a mess of pottage by intentionally misleading the public, and giving pro-Biden media outlets an excuse to dismiss and censor The Post’s 2020 election-eve scoop, as well as offering Joe Biden an escape hatch on the issue in his then-upcoming debate with Donald Trump.

Again: A host of top intelligence community leaders effectively lied to the American people “for their own good”; after that, how can anyone trust any “information” the IC offers?

And how does the IC justify all the billions the taxpayers spend on it, when its leaders manipulate the public instead of serving it honestly? (Read more from “Top Ex-Spies Who (Still) Lie About Hunter Biden’s Laptop Are Anything but ‘Patriots’” HERE)

Not One of the 51 Intel Officials Who Illegally Changed the Outcome of the 2020 Election Regret Their Lies

By Fox News. Dozens of former intelligence officials who signed a letter warning Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop “has all the classic earmarks” of Russian disinformation are either declining to retract or doubling down despite the device being entered as evidence in his ongoing criminal trial.

Fox News Digital reached out to all 51 individuals who signed the heavily scrutinized October 2020 letter, published just before the 2020 presidential election, asking if they regretted signing it now that the laptop is being used by the prosecution arguing Hunter committed a federal gun crime.

“No,” former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper simply said, also declining to publicly remove his name from the letter or concede that those signing onto it should have waited longer for more information to develop.

Mark S. Zaid, an attorney representing signatories Ronald Marks, Marc Polymeropoulos, Douglas Wise, Paul Kolbe, John Sipher, Emile Nakhleh and Gerald O’Shea, sent Fox News Digital a statement on behalf of his clients that doubled down on the importance of the letter and claimed it was “patriotic” to sign it.

“There continues to be by many a calculated or woefully ignorant interpretation of the October 2020 letter signed by fifty-one former intelligence officials concerning Hunter Biden’s laptop,” Zaid, who once posted online that Trump’s election was “very scary,” said in the statement.

Jill Biden Defends Joe Biden’s Age, Launches “Seniors for Biden” Campaign

/2 Comments/in , /by

First Lady Jill Biden passionately defended her husband, President Joe Biden, on the campaign trail, arguing that his age is an asset rather than a detriment. Addressing concerns about his fitness for office, she described the President as a “healthy, wise 81-year-old” and emphasized that “age is a gift.”

“This isn’t just about stopping an extremist, and this election is most certainly not about age,” Dr. Jill Biden stated at an event in Green Bay, Wisconsin, according to CNN. “Joe and that other guy are essentially the same age. Let’s not be fooled. But what this election is about, it’s about the character of the person leading our country.”

In her remarks, Dr. Biden launched the “Seniors for Biden” campaign, targeting voters aged 65 and over. She underscored that President Biden’s experience and age contribute to his effectiveness. “Joe Biden is a healthy, wise 81-year-old ready and willing to work for you every day to make our future better. Joe isn’t one of the most effective presidents of our lives in spite of his age but because of it,” she asserted.

Amid scrutiny of President Biden’s mental health and instances where he appeared confused or disoriented in public, Jill Biden countered these concerns by highlighting the wisdom and strength that come with age. “The woman I am today is wiser, stronger, more insightful, and more confident than I was all those years ago. Every line on my face has been earned by the furrowed brows of difficult decisions made, by the sun of countless roads traveled, by the sweet strain of deep laughter with the people I love. Age is a gift,” she remarked.

Throughout her speech, Dr. Biden took several jabs at former President Donald Trump, portraying him as a threat to American livelihoods, security, and the future. At her next stop in Duluth, Minnesota, she addressed the senior audience, stressing, “we cannot be defined by a number. And when people underestimate us, they do it at their own risk. Let’s show what these years can do.”

Biden Admin Insults Trump on His Birthday

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Biden campaign celebrated former President Donald Trump’s 78th birthday with a list of 78 “accomplishments,” or insults, that include his legal battles and the “Bloodbath Hoax”— which liberal media took out of context and ran with it.

“Happy birthday, Donald. You’re a crook, a failure, a fraud, and a threat to our democracy, economy, rights, and future,” Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer said in a statement. “On behalf of America, our early gift for your 79th: Making sure you are never President again.”

Despite failing to mention all of the ways President Joe Biden has destroyed the United States, the list highlights Trump’s politically motivated felony convictions and some difficulties he has faced as a business owner— which has no impact on his ability to run the country.

Now, take a look at all of Biden’s so-called “accomplishments.”

Biden will go down in history as one of the worst presidents in the U.S. because of his rapid unnecessary spending, reckless economic policies, and border policies that have caused tens of millions of illegal immigrants to enter the country, the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, and so much more.

Biden’s Anti-Gun Speech Was a Trainwreck (VIDEO)

/2 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden delivered an anti-gun speech hours after his son, Hunter, was convicted on federal gun charges. It’s no shock that White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre opted not to brief the press, scurrying away like a scared wombat to avoid the obvious questions about this part of Biden’s schedule. Biden delivered this address at Everytown for Gun Safety’s Gun Sense University in Washington, D.C. It was an absolute trainwreck.

The father of a gun felon delivering a speech on gun control—you can’t make that up. It was riddled with inaccuracies and overall strangeness. Biden spoke about how he convinced a Delaware fisherman to relinquish his “assault weapon.” Then, there was this jabberwocky about magazines that could carry “200 shells,” botched a Thomas Jefferson quote, spoke about teaching jobs he never had, and then trotted the lie that no one could own a cannon. The president also said that guns kill more children than car accidents or cancer and that the gun industry is the only sector protected by a legal shield–all of which are lies.

Poll: Only 19% of Joe Biden Voters Say Society Benefits From Marriage, Having Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

Very few supporters of President Joe Biden believe prioritizing marriage and having children is beneficial for society, polling from the Pew Research Center found.

Only 19 percent of Biden voters say that “society is better off if people make marriage and having children a priority,” compared to 59 percent of former President Donald Trump supporters and 39 percent of registered voters overall. The results come amid a singleness and loneliness epidemic among young people and as the United States continues to experience the lowest birth rate in a century.

The survey found “modest differences” between men and women as to whether a focus on marriage and children improves society.

“About six-in-ten men who support Trump (63 percent) say this, compared with 54 percent of Trump-supporting women. There is a similar gender gap among Biden supporters (22 percent of men vs. 16 percent of women),” according to the survey report.

By ethnicity, black Biden voters (29 percent) are more likely than Asian (20 percent), white (17 percent), and Hispanic (16 percent) Biden supporters to say an emphasis on marriage and family improves society.

Former Intel Officials Stand by Debunked Russian Disinfo Claim on Hunter Biden’s Laptop

/2 Comments/in , /by

Despite recent revelations and testimonies debunking their claims, none of the 51 former intelligence officials who suggested that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation ahead of the 2020 election have retracted their statements.

Reports indicate that these officials were aware their claims were false at the time. The FBI had possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop, and FBI agent Erika Jensen testified last week in Hunter Biden’s gun trial that the laptop was real and had not been tampered with. This testimony contradicted previous claims that the laptop’s data had been hacked or manipulated as part of a Russian disinformation effort to aid former President Donald Trump’s campaign.

The controversy began when Breitbart News’ Emma-Jo Morris, then with the New York Post, broke the “laptop from hell” story in October 2020. Shortly thereafter, CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand published a Politico story citing “dozens of former intel officials” who asserted that the laptop’s origins were likely tied to a Russian disinformation campaign. This narrative was used by then-presidential candidate Joe Biden to discredit the laptop’s contents during a debate with Trump.

Current Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been implicated in coordinating this story for political purposes. Despite widespread acceptance of the Politico story at the time, major media outlets, including CNN, eventually admitted more than 500 days later that the story was false.

When confronted, many of the former intelligence officials stood by their original claims. Former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, for instance, expressed no regret over signing the letter. Similarly, other signatories like Ronald Marks, Marc Polymeropoulos, Douglas Wise, Paul Kolbe, John Sipher, Emile Nakhleh, and Gerald O’Shea defended their actions as “patriotic.”

Their lawyer, in a statement to Fox News, reiterated this sentiment, suggesting that the letter was a warning about ongoing foreign interference and that its content remains accurate in that context. Greg Treverton, former chair of the National Intelligence Council, dismissed the controversy as “very old news” and maintained that their inference was based on experience. Russ Travers, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, also downplayed the issue, indicating it had been addressed years ago.

Joe Biden’s Time Interview Was Full Of Senior Moments

/22 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s interview with Time Magazine was full of slip-ups and gaffes, feeding into concerns about the 81-year-old’s fitness for office ahead of the 2024 election.

Time Washington Bureau Chief Massimo Calabresi and Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs conducted an interview with Biden and released the transcript Tuesday, as well as a fact-check on some of the president’s statements. Throughout the interview, the president attempted to quell concerns about his age, but not before he forgot the timeline of calls, where key officials were and other various facts.

“What are the nature of your conversations with the Israelis right now? Have you spoken with Bibi?” Time asked Biden.

“I have not spoken with Bibi since—I have not spoken with Bibi since the attack on Sunday. Was it Sunday?” Biden said, before White House communications director Ben LaBolt confirmed that the president was right. . .

“On what Hamas has done, are the eight US hostages there in Gaza is still alive?” the magazine asked.

“We believe there are those that are still alive. I met with all the families,” the president began. “But we don’t have final proof on exactly who’s alive and who’s not alive. And by the way, I’ve been calling for—we should have a ceasefire, period. And to get those hostages. That’s the main reason why we push.” (Read more from “Joe Biden’s Time Interview Was Full Of Senior Moments” HERE)

Ex-Dem NY Gov. Paterson Blasts ‘Rigged’ Prosecution of Donald Trump as Pataki Worries of Election Impact

/17 Comments/in , /by

Democratic ex-New York Gov. David Paterson says he would have wanted President Biden to consider pardoning Donald Trump in his hush-money conviction if the prez had the power.

Paterson, speaking Sunday on 77 WABC radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” agreed with Trump’s gripes that the case was “rigged.

“There are a lot … of erroneous qualities to that trial,” Paterson said. “Some of the people who are involved: A person who worked at the White House somehow wound up in the Manhattan DA’s Office.

“All of it, when it adds up, really looks very much like what the former president describes it as,” the top Dem told host John Catsimatidis.

A US president cannot pardon someone of state crimes — such as the felony raps involving falsifying business records that Trump was convicted of in Manhattan court last week — but if the commander in chief could, he should have considered it in this case, Paterson said.

Netanyahu: U.S. Portrayal of Israeli Proposal to Hamas ‘Not Accurate’

/2 Comments/in , /by

U.S. President Joe Biden’s portrayal of Israel’s proposal to Hamas was inaccurate, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday.

“I am not willing to stop the war. I will not describe the details of the deal, but what the president of the United States described is not accurate,” Netanyahu said during a closed-door session, the Kan News public broadcaster reported.

“We can stop the fighting for 42 days in order to return hostages, but we will not give up on total victory,” he was said to have told lawmakers.

The premier also said that Biden omitted “other details” during his Friday address on the ongoing talks with the Hamas terrorist group.

“The Iranians and all of our enemies are looking at us and want to see us surrender. Don’t pay attention to the publications—there is a lot of fake news doing the rounds,” Netanyahu added. (Read more from “Netanyahu: U.S. Portrayal of Israeli Proposal to Hamas ‘Not Accurate'” HERE)

Pro-Life Grandma Sentenced to 2 Years in Prison As Judge Appears to Mock Her Poor Health

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former and potentially future President Donald Trump was found “guilty” last Thursday on 34 felony counts in a hush money “trial.” It’s not just Trump they’re going after, though with a weaponized and politicized justice system. As we’ve been covering, President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has been quite eager to prosecute prayerful pro-life activists using the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, including an elderly grandfather. Since then, more grandparents have been sentenced, including grandmothers in poor health.

Late last month, 59-year-old Heather Idoni was sentenced to 24 years in prison. She’s already been incarcerated for nine months, which will count towards time served. It’s been far from a pleasant experience for the grandmother, as Live Action News revealed:

Idoni was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison for her part in the October 2020 activism – she has already been incarcerated for nine months, which will count toward her total sentence. The activists reportedly used chains, bike locks, furniture, and their bodies in an attempt to stop abortions from being committed and to prevent police officers from removing them from the facility. These are common activism tactics used today and in decades past to peacefully demonstrate.

Like most of her co-defendants who received sentencing last week, Idoni will also be on probation for three years following her release, during which time she will be prohibited from coming within 1000 feet of any abortion facility. Unlike her co-defendants, Idoni will also be required to submit to drug testing while on probation.

Idoni has reportedly suffered poor treatment and health problems during her incarceration, including an extended period in solitary confinement during which time the lights in her cell were kept on around the clock, a subsequent stroke, and the denial of necessary medicine by jail officials. She has also reportedly been moved nine times between seven different facilities since she was incarcerated last August. During a recent pre-trial hearing in another case, Idoni was kept in shackles – as if she were a violent offender.
