Congressional Dems Apparently Want to ‘Biden-Proof’ Their Campaigns as President Continues to Tank in Polls

/0 Comments/in , /by

Some Congressional Democrats are apparently looking to distance their campaigns from President Joe Biden as they head into the 2024 election, according to Axios.

Five months out from the 2024 election, President Joe Biden is struggling in head-to-head matchups, both nationally and across key swing states, against former President Donald Trump. The poor polling coming from Biden have caused several Democratic lawmakers to “Biden-proof” their campaign in an effort to help boost their already close races, the candidates told Axios.

“[There is] more distancing now as his numbers continue to tank,” one House Democrat told the outlet, saying his campaign was “pretty much washing my hands of his campaign.”

The candidates distancing their campaigns from Biden is an alternative to publicly “rejecting” the president, Democratic incumbents, candidates and operatives told the outlet.

“[There is] always an element where you run your own race,” but “it’s even more pronounced,” a House Democrat told Axios. (Read more from “Congressional Dems Apparently Want to ‘Biden-Proof’ Their Campaigns as President Continues to Tank in Polls” HERE)

Joe Biden’s Looming Presence Over Hunter’s Trial Serves as a Warning to Their Political Enemies

/0 Comments/in , /by

The president flew into Wilmington, Del., on Sunday night, where his 54-year-old son’s felony gun trial begins Monday, and will spend the whole day there with no official duties.

Joe Biden’s looming presence in the strange small city leaves nobody in any doubt of the message he is sending to Delaware special counsel David Weiss, to the prosecutors, the judge, and the jury pool being chosen Monday. You mess with my son; you mess with me.

It’s all very subtle, in a flagrant way, much like Joe’s impromptu visit to Hallie Biden, the widow of Beau and former lover of Hunter, just nine days before his son’s trial, at which she is the star witness for the prosecution.

It was Hallie who threw Hunter’s new handgun in a trash can in October 2018 out of concern for his drug-addled mental state, creating a ticking legal time bomb that would propel him into court six years later.

It was Hallie who found drugs and drug paraphernalia in his truck. Hallie, 50, even shared his crack addiction for a time, amid multiple drug rehab efforts. (Read more from “Joe Biden’s Looming Presence Over Hunter’s Trial Serves as a Warning to Their Political Enemies” HERE)

Trump’s ‘Revenge’ Strategy That’ll Make Dems Sorry They Ever Politically Persecuted Him

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump is laying out a revenge plan to get back at the Democratic Party after they have politically punished him since his first day of office in 2016.

And he needs all of you to attend the polls in November to achieve it.

Trump said that his revenge would be “success” on November 5 and taking back the White House.

“These are bad people. These people are sick, and they do things that are so destructive… if it weren’t me, they’d be going after somebody else, and I know a lot of the competition. They wouldn’t do so well,” Trump told Fox & Friends Weekends.

He called the “rigged” trial a “sham” and a “weaponization” of justice after 12 Manhattan jurors found Trump guilty of falsifying business records during the 2016 election. (Read more from “Trump’s ‘Revenge’ Strategy That’ll Make Dems Sorry They Ever Politically Persecuted Him” HERE)

Trump’s ‘Banana Republic’ Conviction Won’t Be Democrats’ Last — Unless There Is ‘Retaliation in Kind’: UC Berkeley Law Prof

/2 Comments/in , /by

UC Berkeley law professor John Yoo made clear this week that President Donald Trump’s conviction before a Democratic judge in a Democratic enclave on charges brought by a Democratic prosecutor effectively obliterates any remaining pretense that the justice system is a means for resolution and restitution. The courtroom is now instead apparently a vehicle for seeking retribution and political advantage.

With this transformation, Yoo says its high time for “retaliation in kind” by Republican district attorneys.

Ahead of President Donald Trump’s conviction, Yoo noted in National Review that it was abundantly clear the hush-money case was built around “farcical charges” and aimed not at delivering justice but at protecting a decrepit Democratic president from facing his top competitor in November.

“The superficiality of the facts and the vagueness of the crimes magnify the harm that Democrats have inflicted on our political norms,” wrote the former deputy assistant attorney general. “Make no mistake, Democrats have crossed a constitutional Rubicon.”

Yoo issued a note of caution: The “weakness of the case against Trump lowers the bar for prosecuting future presidents below that for prosecuting garden-variety criminals in New York City.” (Read more from “Trump’s ‘Banana Republic’ Conviction Won’t Be Democrats’ Last — Unless There Is ‘Retaliation in Kind’: UC Berkeley Law Prof” HERE3)

Trump Campaign Raises Record $34.8 Million in Donations After Guilty Verdict

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden on Friday defended the conviction of former President Donald Trump and claimed it was “reckless” for his gagged political opponent to call it “rigged.”

Trump called the trial a “scam” and vowed to appeal the guilty verdict.

About two hours after Trump spoke, Biden directly mentioned Trump by name in a carefully crafted press conference. “The American principle that no one is above the law was reaffirmed,” Biden claimed. “Donald Trump was given every opportunity to defend himself.”

Biden pointed out that Trump’s lawyers chose the jury in Manhattan — a location from which Trump tried to move the case. The Manhatten jury pool more often than not leaned politically left, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said during jury selection.

“The jury heard five weeks of evidence, five weeks. After careful deliberation, the jury reached a unanimous verdict,” Biden said, speaking slowly. “They found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts.

WATCH: Jill Biden Claims It’s President Trump Who ‘Can’t Put a Sentence Together’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jill Biden, on a television talk show with sympathetic supporters, now has wildly claimed that it is President Donald Trump who “can’t put a sentence together.”

She was talking in anticipation of the debate scheduled later in June between her husband, whose career in verbal gaffes, blunders and slipups extends back decades, and even at one point triggered a book on his misstatements, and Trump.

She said there are guardrails planned for the debate, at Joe Biden’s insistence, that there be no audience, that microphones be turned off periodically and more.

That, she said, is so somebody “can’t ramble, or scream at somebody, not that my husband would be the one doing that.”

. . .

His catalog of known verbal blunders goes on forever. He once told a supporter confined to a wheelchair to “stand up” and more recently openly wondered how long it would be before voters figured out they can’t trust him.

Biden Mocked on X After Renewing Call for ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden used a post to X to renew his call for an “assault weapons” ban and was mocked in response.

Biden posted:

He was immediately mocked on X, with one user responding, “It’s time for a new president.”

Another user wrote, “You’re advocating for the disarming of citizens while you try to imprison your opponent. How fascist of you.”

Yet another added, “‘Shall not be infringed’ means ‘Shall not be Infringed.’ End of discussion.” (Read more from “Biden Mocked on X After Renewing Call for ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban” HERE)

Biden Enlists Jan. 6 Police Officers to Campaign in Swing States

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign is going all-in on presenting former President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy as polling continues to show Biden sinking in swing states.

Biden’s campaign has enlisted the assistance of three police officers who worked at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, to further its latest strategy, CNN reports.

Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, Officer Harry Dunn, and Officer Danny Hodges will accuse Trump of posing a threat to democracy in key swing states, beginning in Nevada and Arizona.

Dunn is fresh off a primary defeat in a campaign for a congressional seat from Maryland. His campaign failed after troubling allegations of domestic abuse resurfaced, as well as reports that he was suspended without pay from the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) in 2012 after improperly handling his department-issued firearm. . .

Biden’s enlistment of the officers is his latest move to advance the political narrative that Trump is somehow a threat to democracy. (Read more from “Biden Enlists Jan. 6 Police Officers to Campaign in Swing States” HERE)

‘Unhinged’: The Biden Campaign Held a Press Conference and It Was a Train Wreck

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden campaign held a press conference in New York City Tuesday morning, right down the street from the ongoing trial of former President Donald Trump. It was a total disaster.

The star of the train wreck was actor Robert DeNiro, who dramatically claimed Trump would destroy New York, the United States and eventually the world. He also announced he was officially joining the Biden campaign after walking to the lectern in a cloth mask.

Then, the campaign refused to answer questions.

Joe Biden Visits Hunter’s Ex Before She Likely Testifies in Gun Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden visited Hallie Biden, the former wife of Beau Biden and Hunter Biden’s former lover, before she will likely testify in Hunter’s gun trial, the White House press pool reported Sunday.

The White House said Joe Biden’s visit with his daughter-in-law had nothing to do with Hunter’s pending gun trial. It claimed instead the visit was to commemorate the upcoming ninth anniversary of Beau’s passing from cancer.

Hallie is expected to testify as a witness in Hunter’s gun trial. A 2018 police report showed she tossed a gun owned by Hunter in a dumpster behind a grocer, a source told Fox News. . .
Hunter refused in July to accept a plea deal laid out by prosecutors in the case after negotiations fell apart as a result of Judge Maryellen Noreika’s scrutiny of a “diversion agreement.”

The original “sweetheart” plea deal afforded Hunter the ability to plead guilty for not paying taxes on more than $1.5 million in income in 2017 and 2018, receiving probation rather than jail time. In addition, Special Counsel David Weiss devised a separate diversion agreement that gave Hunter immunity from potential future charges, including a provision to potentially wipe a felony gun violation from his record.
