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.

Here’s How the Biden Administration Is Reportedly Handling Iran Nuclear Deal

/0 Comments/in , /by

In case there’s any doubt how weak President Joe Biden is on dealing with Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported in the early morning hours of Monday that “Biden Administration Presses Allies Not to Confront Iran on Nuclear Program.” Not only is the United States reportedly not going to tell Iran off for their nuclear program, but is urging our true allies to do the same.

As the report mentions:

BERLIN—The Biden administration is pressing European allies to back off plans to rebuke Iran for advances in its nuclear program, even as it expands its stockpile of near-weapons-grade fissile material to a record level, according to diplomats involved in discussions.

The U.S. is arguing against an effort by Britain and France to censure Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s member-state board in early June, the diplomats said. The U.S. has pressed a number of other countries to abstain in a censure vote, saying that is what Washington will do, they said.

U.S. officials deny lobbying against a resolution.

…

U.S. officials say that material could be converted into weapons-grade enriched uranium in a matter of days. It would then be enough to fuel three nuclear weapons.

Some U.S. officials say they fear Iran could be more volatile as the country moves toward elections for a new leader after the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash earlier this month. The Biden administration has long said it is seeking a diplomatic solution on Iran’s nuclear program.

Did Joe Biden Fall Asleep at a Memorial Day Ceremony?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Joe Biden delivered remarks at a ceremony at Arlington Cemetery yesterday to commemorate Memorial Day. It was notable for a couple of things. The first is that Biden finally delivered an accurate account of how his son Beau died, even though he reportedly can’t remember when he passed anymore. The president, who never passes at a chance to grief peddle, finally admitted that his son died of brain cancer, though you’d never have known that given past remarks. Biden has been criticized for trying to insinuate that Beau died in a combat zone in Iraq.

Yet, let’s get to the unseemly part here. It looks like Biden fell asleep during the ceremony:

It’s not the first time this has happened. In 2021, it was reported that the president passed out while meeting with Israel’s then-prime minister, Naftali Bennett, which the fact checkers rushed to spin.

Biden Repeats 2022 Naval Academy Appointment Story at West Point Commencement

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden repeated a claim that he turned down an appointment to the Naval Academy, where he said he intended to play football, during his commencement speech at West Point on Saturday.

Biden, 81, told the graduates that he was “one of 10” appointed to the naval academy by Republican Delaware Sen. J. Caleb Boggs years before he’d go on to defeat him in the 1972 election to become a US Senator.

“I was appointed by the fella I ran against when I was 29 years old to the Naval Academy. I was one of 10. I wanted to play football,” Biden said in his remarks.

“And I’d found out two days earlier they had a quarterback named Roger Staubach and a halfback named Joe Bellino — I said, ‘I’m not going there.’ I went to Delaware. Not a joke,’ the president said. . .

“He has repeated this lie many times before and there is still no record any of it ever happened,” the RNC posted. (Read more from “Biden Repeats 2022 Naval Academy Appointment Story at West Point Commencement” HERE)

Joe Biden’s Latest ‘Racist’ Comment Is Low Even for Him

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Joe Biden made an eyebrow-raising comment about his former boss, President Barack Obama.

During a prominent dinner with Kenyan President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto, Biden appeared to pull out the race card, leaving the audience confused.

The 81-year-old president made a puzzling remark about Obama, saying ““Jill and I are honored to have you here and we’re representing… including many members of the African diaspora. One just left — Barack…”

. . .

His comments come as Biden is focusing his attention on winning back black voters ahead of the November election. A recent New York Times/Siena poll found that Biden is losing black voters to former President Donald Trump. The Republican candidate is currently winning 20 percent of the support from black voters— which, according to the NYT, would be the highest level of Black support for a Republican presidential candidate since the Civil Rights Act was enacted in 1964.
