Obama Reportedly Fears Biden Could Lose White House in 2024

/6 Comments/in , /by

As President Joe Biden grapples with a series of crises at the close of 2023, doubts about his ability to secure the White House in the upcoming 2024 election have reportedly reached the highest echelons of the Democratic Party. A Wall Street Journal report by Annie Linskey cites an anonymous source revealing that former President Barack Obama is among those questioning Biden’s prospects, expressing concerns about the potential for Democrats to lose the presidency next year.

The anonymous source disclosed that Obama is troubled by the current state of affairs. With former President Donald Trump gaining ground in polls and a range of issues—from age and immigration to Israel policy and economic plans—casting shadows over the Biden administration, Obama reportedly fears that the Democrats “very well could lose” the 2024 election.

According to the report, Obama recognizes the upcoming presidential race as a close one. The source added that the former president is not only troubled by the prospect of a Democratic loss but is also worried about what they described as “the alternative [being] pretty dangerous for democracy.”

David Axelrod, a senior adviser to former President Obama, recently suggested on social media that Biden should step aside, pointing to a New York Times and Siena College poll showing the incumbent trailing behind Trump.

Axelrod noted that it might be “very late to change horses,” but expressed concerns that Biden’s poll numbers could send “tremors of doubt” through the Democratic Party. Axelrod emphasized that the concerns were not mere “bed-wetting” but legitimate worries about the party’s electoral prospects.

The Man Who Drove Into Biden’s Motorcade Was Drunk

/5 Comments/in , /by

. . .On Sunday, someone drove into Joe Biden’s motorcade while leaving his campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware. It wasn’t an assassination attempt or anything, but it was a driving under the influence incident that the driver will never forget (via NY Post):

The driver who plowed into President Biden’s motorcade as he left his campaign headquarters in Delaware Sunday night was charged with driving while under the influence, authorities announced Monday.

James Cooper, 46, of Wilmington, was taken into custody after his silver sedan smashed into an SUV blocking an intersection, Wilmington police said.

Cooper was also charged with inattentive driving in addition to the DUI.

Officials said the crash did not appear to be intentional, with Cooper likely unaware that it was Biden’s motorcade that he had struck, CNN reported.

Hunter’s Latest Stunt May Have Thrown His Dad Into a Messy Tangle, Strategists Say

/7 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden’s decision not to testify for House Republicans could add more fuel to the political fire for his father, GOP strategists and legal experts told the Daily Caller.

The president’s son arrived on Capitol Hill on Dec. 13, making the decision to defy the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena and skip a closed-door interrogation session on his foreign business dealings. Hunter Biden’s latest move will have political ramifications, as it draws more attention to President Joe Biden and his happenings just less than a year out from the 2024 presidential election, GOP strategists and legal experts agreed.

“Nearly every angle on the Hunter Biden story hurts Joe Biden,” Mark R. Weaver, a GOP strategist, told the Daily Caller.

The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Hunter Biden in November in an effort to have the first son attend a closed-door session to answer questions about his foreign business dealings. Instead, Hunter Biden chose to stand outside the Capitol on Dec. 13, denying President Biden ever played any part in his business dealings while blasting Republicans for bringing an impeachment inquiry on his father.

“[Denying the subpoena] will have the practical effect of drawing attention to his activities. That’s not good for President Biden,” Mike McKenna told the Daily Caller. “Also, the assumption out in the real world is that innocent people don’t refuse to testify.” (Read more from “Hunter’s Latest Stunt May Have Thrown His Dad Into a Messy Tangle, Strategists Say” HERE)

Donors From the Richest Zip Codes in America Are Throwing Their Support Behind Biden

/3 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s primary fundraising arms have received an outsized amount of support from the most expensive zip codes in the country, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of Federal Election Commission (FEC) records.

The 10 most expensive zip codes by median home value, which accounted for just 0.02% of the population in 2020, were responsible for 7.6% of this year’s donations to the Biden campaign and the Biden Victory Fund, which are the primary committees used by the president’s reelection effort, according to data from the United States Census Bureau and the FEC. The roughly 81,000 people living in those zip codes donated 311 times more to Biden than would be proportionate to their share of the population.

The residents of America’s 10 most expensive zip codes donated a total of $7,519,474 to the Biden campaign and the Biden Victory Fund this year, or roughly $930 per person, according to FEC and Census Bureau records.

Median home prices in these zip codes range from $4.25 million in Rancho Santa Fe, California, on the low end, and up to $7.95 million in Atherton, California, on the high end, according to the Times. The median price of a house in the United States was $412,000 as of September, according to Forbes.

Car Crashes Into Biden’s Motorcade

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden was left unscathed on Sunday night after a vehicle smashed into his motorcade near his campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware.

A car hit a U.S. Secret Service SUV used to block off intersections as Biden made his way from his campaign office to his awaiting vehicle.

The sedan then tried to continue into the closed-off intersection before the Secret Service surrounded the car with weapons, instructing the driver to put his hands up.

The president and First Lady Jill Biden were left unharmed from the incident.

Biden seemed shocked by the loud bang from the collision and paused before being rushed into his vehicle. The First Lady wished reporters a “Happy Holidays” just moments before the accident occurred. (Read more from “Car Crashes Into Biden’s Motorcade” HERE)

Impeachment Leader Accuses Hunter Biden of Creating a ‘Constitutional Crisis’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden is stirring up a “constitutional crisis” by defying a subpoena in the corruption-focused impeachment inquiry against his father, President Joe Biden, according to a top House Republican.

Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO), who is helping to lead the impeachment probe, decried the younger Biden’s antics — speaking at a press event outside the Capitol but not showing up for a scheduled deposition — during an interview with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“If you or I or any other American would do that, we would be prosecuted,” Smith said. He noted that IRS whistleblower testimony has already raised concerns about a “two-tiered justice system” with how the Department of Justice has handled its criminal investigation into Hunter Biden.

“The fact that Hunter Biden was supposed to be in the halls of that building going through a congressional subpoena, through depositions, and he defied that by standing on the footsteps of the Capitol and doing a press conference, the fact that he is the president’s son, and he’s doing that, is creating a very severe constitutional crisis,” Smith added.

Hunter Biden appeared in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday but did not cooperate with a subpoena demanding he participate in a deposition that day. In delivering remarks at the press event outside the U.S. Capitol Building, the president’s son insisted on being given a public hearing instead of a closed-door interview.

It Was Only a Matter of Time Before These Leaks Occurred Under Joe Biden

/1 Comment/in , , /by

. . .This leak was meant to place pressure on the administration to curb its military aid packages to the Jewish state, which is also the only democracy in the Middle East. Civilians die in war. Collateral damage is different than what Hamas does, which is a genocidal targeting of Israelis. Those civilian casualty figures rise exponentially when Hamas terrorists force them to be used as human shields. We all knew a lot of civilians were going to die, but Hamas also didn’t need to commit a terror attack that murdered 1,200 Israelis (via WaPo):

Almost half of the munitions Israel has used in Gaza since the war began have been unguided bombs, a U.S. intelligence assessment has found, a ratio that some arms experts say helps explain the conflict’s enormous civilian death toll. The revelation comes as U.S. and Israeli officials engage in intensifying conversations about the sequencing of military operations in the two-month conflict.

The Israel Defense Forces has fired more than 29,000 air-to-ground munitions into the Palestinian enclave since Oct. 7, and only 55 to 60 percent of them have been precision-guided, according to a new assessment from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The rest were what are known as “dumb bombs,” said two people familiar with the assessment who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter.

The use of so many unguided bombs, first reported by CNN, is a concern among humanitarian groups and others amid growing calls inside and outside the United States for Washington to condition any further military aid to Israel on the immediate reduction of civilian deaths.

The Biden administration has thus far rejected such calls, fearing a backlash by Republicans and political attacks from powerful pro-Israel lobbying organizations. Instead, it has attempted to influence the Israeli government to sharpen the focus of its military campaign using high-level visits, including meetings in Tel Aviv on Thursday between national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

White House Responds to Hunter Biden’s Defiance of Congressional Subpoena: We Don’t Care

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a recent development surrounding the ongoing congressional scrutiny of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, the White House Spokesman for Oversight and Investigations, Ian Sams, addressed questions about Hunter’s decision to defy a congressional subpoena on Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning.”

The controversy unfolded as Hunter Biden publicly declared his intention to testify but insisted on doing so in an open forum, refusing to meet behind closed doors with House Republicans. When asked whether President Biden agreed with this strategic move, Sams responded with a guarded statement, emphasizing the private nature of conversations between a father and his son. Sams stated, “I’m not going to get into a father’s conversations with his son, except to say Hunter’s a private person. He can make his own decisions about how to handle these sorts of things.”

He remarked, “And what’s really scary about what’s happening right now is they’re abusing such a grave constitutional process to do it.” This statement underscores the concern that the ongoing scrutiny may be veering into a territory where political motivations overshadow the intended purpose of the constitutional processes designed to ensure accountability.

As the situation unfolds, it becomes evident that the Biden administration is treading carefully, to avoid further implicating President Biden. The White House’s measured response raises questions about the intricate dynamics between Joe and his son’s sketchy business dealings.

Prosecutor Accused of Protecting Bidens Departs DOJ

/3 Comments/in , /by

Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, Lesley Wolf, accused of protecting President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, is no longer with the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to a source familiar with the matter. The departure follows allegations by IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who claimed that Wolf obstructed searches of Joe Biden’s guest residence and Hunter Biden’s storage locker, shedding light on potential interference in investigations linked to the Biden family.

Shapley testified before the House Ways and Means Committee, revealing details of the alleged hindrances posed by Wolf. Wolf seemed to impede the process, including blocking a search of the guest house at the Bidens’ Delaware residence and stalling a planned search of Hunter Biden’s storage locker. The testimony also referred to a threatening text message from Hunter Biden to a Chinese business associate, invoking his father’s influence, and raised concerns about the slow-walking of the process, particularly regarding a search warrant for emails related to lobbying firm Blue Star Strategies.

The IRS whistleblowers underscored their frustration with Wolf’s alleged interventions, stating, “Even though the legal requirements were met and the investigative team knew evidence would be in these locations, AUSA Wolf stated that they would not allow a physical search warrant on Hunter Biden.”

Furthermore, Shapley revealed that Wolf tipped off Hunter Biden’s defense team about the plan to search his storage unit, compromising the investigators’ opportunity to secure evidence. The accusations against Wolf also extend to her allegedly preventing Hunter Biden’s children from being interviewed as part of the investigation.

Emails and notes released by the Ways and Means Committee appear to support the whistleblowers’ claims, with communications from Wolf instructing investigators to exclude “political figure 1” (then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden) from the Blue Star search warrant.

IRS Whistleblowers Unable to ‘Verify’ Loans White House Claims Joe Biden Sent to Family Members, Testimony Shows

/0 Comments/in , /by

IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler were not able to confirm to congress the supposed loans Joe Biden sent his family members after his vice presidency concluded.

Both IRS agents testified Dec. 5 in front of the House Ways and Means Committee and neither could “verify” the existence of loans between Joe Biden and his family members when he was out of office, according to a newly released transcript of the whistleblower testimony.

“So Joe Biden is being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for, quote, ‘repayments’ to him of loans that he gave. Were you prevented from actually finding out whether or not those checks from Joe Biden’s account were ever given to those people who are now repaying him?” Republican Texas Rep. Beth Van Duyne asked the whistleblowers.

“I don’t believe we ever obtained records that would have shown us any light on those transactions,” Shapley replied. (Read more from “IRS Whistleblowers Unable to ‘Verify’ Loans White House Claims Joe Biden Sent to Family Members, Testimony Shows” HERE)
