MSNBC's Morning Joe Segment About Biden's Strong G7 Summit Gets Demolished by European Press

 Matt Vespa (townhall.com)


"If you watched this Morning Joe segment on MSNBC, you’d think no American president had ever had a successful outing with foreign leaders until Joe Biden was elected. The media and Democrats are engaging in a full-court press after capturing numerous videos of Biden looking aloof and wandering off. The president’s campaign went so far as to call the clips misinformation. Joe Scarborough echoed that sentiment, claiming the unflattering images of the president looking absolutely lost were “cheap fakes.” 

"There’s a problem with this pivot: the European media saw the same thing, and they were all over Biden’s cognitive decline. So, for all the shouting about how fit Biden is, the European press obliterated that talking point in less than a day:


"Everyone can see it. It’s not a secret, nor is it controversial. Eighty-six percent think Joe Biden is too old to run again. You don’t get a consensus like that if a healthy share of voters hasn’t seen that this man can’t do the job. Biden’s approvals are so terrible that FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver irritated liberals by suggesting that maybe Joe should quit the race. 

Pedo Peter | Know Your Meme

Pedo Peter is the alleged nickname given to U.S. President Joe Biden by his son Hunter within the contact list and iMessages leaked during the Hunter Biden iPhone hack that happened on 4chan in July 2022. The nickname was thought to be Biden's because the President used to use the pseudonym Peter Henderson. It was also theorized to be a moniker for Naomi Biden's fiancée Peter Neal. Screenshots of the evidence surfaced first on 4chan and then spread to other social media like Twitter, causing controversy, speculation and conspiracy theories.

The last temptation of Merrick Garland

 Jonathan Turley (thehill.com)  

As it stands, few believe that will happen, despite Garland’s repeated line about transcending politics. It is not the mantra that is in doubt, but the man.


This week, Attorney General Merrick Garland took to the pages of the Washington Post to lash out at critics who are spreading what he considers “conspiracy theories crafted and spread for the purpose of undermining public trust in the judicial process itself.” His column, titled “Unfounded attacks on the Justice Department must end,” missed the point.

"It is Garland himself who has become the problem. The solution is in Wilmington, Delaware, where 12 average citizens just showed a commitment to the rule of law that seems to be harder and harder for the attorney general to meet.

"Since his appointment, Garland has repeated a mantra that he is apolitical and would never yield to the pressures of politics or the White House. When he was nominated, I believed that claim and enthusiastically supported Garland’s confirmation. He was, I thought, the perfect man for the job after his distinguished judicial service as a moderate judge.

"I was wrong. Garland’s tenure as attorney general has shown a pronounced reluctance to take steps that would threaten President Biden. He slow-walked the appointment of a special counsel investigating any Biden, and then excluded from the counsel’s scope any investigation of the massive influence peddling operation by Hunter Biden, his uncle and others.

"However, it is what has occurred in the last six months that has left some of us shaken, given our early faith in Garland." . . .

Building an Election Watchdog Army: RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump Announces New Program to Train 100,000 Poll Workers and 500 Lawyers to Safeguard 2024 Election in November

  The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft 


"In a groundbreaking announcement made last Friday in Detroit, Michigan, Lara Trump, the co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), revealed plans to build a formidable watchdog army. This force will be tasked with safeguarding the integrity of our elections this coming November.

" “Our other top priority is election integrity,” said Lara Trump. “If we don’t have free, fair, and transparent elections, nothing else matters. That is our goal at the RNC. Every single person in this country, regardless of how you vote, should want free and fair elections.”

"Joined by RNC Chairman Michael Watley, she detailed the plans to mobilize an ‘election watchdog army’ that will operate across the United States in November.

" '[Whatley and I started here in the state of Michigan, launching our election integrity program. What we want to do is train 100,000 people all across this country to be part of that team. Now, what does that mean? That means we want poll watchers, but not just that; we want poll workers. We have a unique opportunity right now that we have not had in 40 years as a party. For 40 years, there was a consent decree placed upon the RNC that did not allow us to train people to work as poll workers,” said Lara.

"The RNC’s plan also includes training individuals to work in tabulation centers where mail-in ballots are processed. They are seeking attorneys who can be present at every major polling location to proactively address any issues that arise.

"Lara called for any lawyers listening to join the effort, emphasizing that they do not have to be trained in election law. “We will train you on exactly what you need to be looking out for,” she said.

"The RNC has set up a website, protectthevote.com, for those interested in joining the team. The RNC will provide training in each state to equip team members with everything they need to know." . . .

Biden scraps attendance at Ukraine peace summit, heads to Los Angeles to raise campaign funds -- and Sabo is waiting for him

George Clooney's wife, born of Druze and Sunni Muslim parents. 


"For Joe Biden, it's panic hour.

"That's why he scrapped attendance at a Ukraine goo-goo summit in Europe, to head on out to Los Angeles for a star-studded fundraiser instead:

"According to Reuters:

June 15 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden will attend a glitzy fundraiser in Los Angeles on Saturday with top Hollywood celebrities and former President Barack Obama that has raised $28 million, amid Democratic anxiety over opponent Donald Trump's growing fundraising clout.
Late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel will interview Biden and Obama and Hollywood celebrities George Clooney and Julia Roberts are guests, in the latest star-studded event Biden's campaign hopes shows strength and momentum despite Biden's low approval ratings and concerns about his age.
"Nothing is more important than that fundraiser. Biden even changed U.S. foreign policy in order to oppose, not support, sanctions on the International Criminal Court for attempting to arrest U.S. ally Binyamin Netanyahu, prime minister of Israel after George Clooney made a phone call, saying it would affect his wife, who helped write the orders.
 
"Clooney will be there to help raise funds, so favors repaid. Biden did Clooney 'a solid' so out comes the red carpet glamour and fawning.". . .

Here's the contemptible part: . . ."Nothing is more important than that fundraiser.

Is an electric vehicle collapse inevitable?

 Mike McDaniel - American Thinker

Hertz unloading its EV fleet has been much in the news. Americans have a nasty tendency not to buy, or even rent, vehicles they don’t trust and don’t want. And now, even General Motors is beginning to bow to reality: 


"Were one to listen to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, or Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, one might come away with the impression that electric vehicles (EVs) are so popular, the government’s intention of mostly replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with EVs by 2030 was a foregone conclusion. After all, the Mummified Meat Puppet Administration (MMPA) tells us they’ll build a half million fast chargers across America by then to handle the load, and they’ve allocated $7.5 billion we don’t have to that noble endeavor." ....

. . ."How is DEI—didn’t earn it—screwing things up?  At least 40% of the money has to go to “underserved communities,” which is brilliant because those are the communities least able to afford, or want, an EV, so they have no use for EV chargers."
