The Confession of Joe Biden

Jonathan Turley  

"The record is now largely complete. So is the inescapable conclusion: Biden lacked clarity on most everything but his alleged crimes. His deception and culpability were established in both the Zwonitzer and Hur interviews. Biden gave Hur a virtual confession, and Hur gave him a pass.

 "Below is my column in The Hill on the release of the tapes from former President Joe Biden’s interview with his biographer. The Biden team fought for years to keep the public from hearing the tapes. We now know why. Here is the column:"

"For years, former President Joe Biden has fought to prevent the release of tapes acquired by former special counsel Robert Hur in his investigation. After those efforts collapsed this month, it became clear why Biden and his aides were so determined to keep the public from seeing the evidence.

"In addition to showing Biden’s mental diminution even before he was elected president, the tapes show that Biden effectively confessed to the crimes Hur would later excuse on the grounds of his mental infirmity.

"Biden’s interviews with his biographer, Mark Zwonitzer, conducted four years before he would be elected president, show that Biden was already having trouble remembering names and dates.

"Hur was tasked with determining whether Biden had committed the same crimes that led later to charges against President Trump — retaining classified material, mishandling such material, and related crimes.

"It turns out that Biden had already admitted to these alleged crimes, years before the documents were found in various offices and the garage of his home.

"Despite all the evidence of knowledge and use of the classified materials, Biden and his aides suggested that no one had been aware of its removal and repeated transfer. In the meantime, after the raid on Mar-a-Lago to search for classified material removed by Trump, the Justice Department granted Biden and his team every possible accommodation.

"Then came the searches of his home, with the pictures of files in his garage, office, and other locations. These included clearly marked classified material." . . .More...

You Simply Cannot Give Power to Lunatics

"From Ceuta to Cuba to Tehran — and increasingly the American left — the same destructive ideas keep proving that reality is no match for ideological zeal."

The American Spectator   

"And just like we will eventually come back to a reality this country once embraced, which is that there can be no bread broken or accord made with the Francesca Hongs and Zohran Mamdanis. You have to deny power to the lunatics. This is neither negotiable nor avoidable. It’s a lesson we seem doomed to repeat the hard way, and we will invariably learn it again soon."

"And in less than five years, Cuba’s population has declined from 11 million to less than nine and a half million. Just as Venezuela, Cuba’s protege communist paradise, ran off a quarter of its own population in a decade.

"To live like that is lunacy. Cuba won’t for very much longer; it can’t.

"And yet the lunatics are somehow not discredited.

"We’re watching the Democrat Party come apart at the seams. As David Catron noted on Monday, James Carville says he won’t be in the same party as Hasan Piker, and that’s a noble sentiment, but it’s too late. Polling indicates the Democrats can’t stop Francesca Hong, a committed — well, in one sense; in another she’s uncommitted, and this is a problem — lunatic running for governor of that state whose Twitter/X feed contains some of the most insane, hateful drivel imaginable. Just recently, Hong dropped a post on X which accused the patrons of the Wisconsin staple Culver’s Restaurants of genocidal racism based on her own feelings and perceptions without any concrete substance to them, which generated national buzz, and yet the Democrat voters of that state don’t seem to be coming off her. She’s going to win her primary unless something massive changes. 

"And Piker just descended on Wisconsin to stump for her. Which doesn’t appear to be a scandal among the party’s voters. 

"Piker is also stumping for Abdul El-Sayed, who is now as much as a 15-point favorite over the more establishmentarian Heather Stevens in the Michigan Senate race. El-Sayed comes from an accomplished academic background and has apparently made a lot of money based on the properties he and his wife own, but we don’t know how he managed it. He’s an avowed DSA socialist whose speeches and pronouncements contain open rejections of the American founding and way of life, and it doesn’t seem to bother Michigan Democrat voters in the least.

"Because Michigan Democrats, like Wisconsin Democrats, are now made up of a majority of lunatics who think that abandoning American culture, economics, and politics and putting people like Francesca Hong and Abdul El-Sayed, not to mention Darieliza Avila Chevalier and Zohran Mamdani, in positions of power will create something better.This isn’t stupidity. It’s lunacy. It’s pathological, because we already see, in the decline in Western Europe and the destruction in Cuba, what those belief systems create.

"And we see something else, which defines it as lunacy — namely, an utter refusal to recognize that these things do not work." . . . More...

Anthony Fauci Hurt America's Children ... and Her Future

 "The damage the once-vaunted Fauci did to society's most vulnerable was incalculable."

Joseph Ford Cotto - American Thinker

. . . "In 2022, he told CNN he was happy to testify before any congressional committee. He said he had nothing to hide and that everything he did could be explained. On July 29, 2026, under subpoena before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times. Fauci refused nearly every question about origins, gain-of-function research, and the policies he supported.

"Fauci accused Chairman Paul of obsession and claimed the hearing existed only as a humiliation ritual. Democrats on the panel rushed to his defense. They praised his 50 years of federal employment, called the session a political trap, and attacked the Donald J. Trump administration instead of asking hard questions.

"One senator said the hearing was designed to ensnare a man who put Americans' health first. Another warned that scrutinizing Fauci would chill future public servants. Unsurprisingly, neither came close to holding Fauci accountable.

"This is the same Democratic Party that once deified Fauci, treating his critics as heretical to the sacred cause of public health.

"In May 2020, Kamala Harris, then a senator from California, thanked God for Fauci on national television and cast him as a truth-teller who put people above politics. Countless other influential blue politicians, alongside lefty pundits and progressive physicians, essentially rendered Fauci above reproach. Meanwhile, they castigated Americans who dared question the shutdowns." . . . More...

Megyn Kelly UNLOADS in Epic Rant on “Ignorant Fool” Minnesota Lynx Coach Cheryl Reeve Over Transgender Locker-Room Claims (UPDATED)

Reeve later wore a “Trans Kids Belong” shirt during Sunday’s game against the Indiana Fever, whose guard Sophie Cunningham has publicly defended sex-based protections for women’s sports. 

-"You don't know anything. You're an ignorant fool. You should take a seat and stop speaking about this... Why don't you take two minutes and listen to Riley Gaines' account of what it was like swimming against Lia Thomas."

" Megyn Kelly unloaded on Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve Monday, calling the longtime WNBA coach an “ignorant fool” who needs to “take a seat” and stop lecturing America about transgender athletes invading women’s sports and spaces.

"The blistering segment came as Reeve continued pushing the radical claim that “biological men” are not showing up in girls’ locker rooms and that the real priority is protecting “trans kids” while finding “common ground” to keep males in female categories.

"“It is not the case that we have, quote, biological men in girls’ locker rooms,” Reeve said Saturday. She argued that the debate unfairly portrays transgender women as predators and insisted that “every kid has a right to sports.”

“I come from a space of inclusion,” Reeve told reporters. “The narrative that I think is problematic is to suggest that transgender athletes are the biggest problem in women’s sports. This is what’s bothersome. There is a faction of people in our country that are making this a massive issue.” . .

. . . Kelly continued:

“There are biological men in women’s locker rooms. Why don’t you take two minutes and listen to Riley Gaines’s account of what it was like swimming against Lia Thomas in the NCAA championships?

“Why don’t you just take two minutes and listen to the testimonial of one of our most famous athletes who is outspoken on this issue? It absolutely is happening.

“Ask any member of the UPenn women’s swim team from two years ago who were told they needed to get therapy when they said they did not want to change into their bathing suits in front of an intact male.”

Kelly concluded by blasting the vague demand for “inclusivity,” asking: “Inclusive of whom?”     More...

WNBA Coaches Stumped As To What The ‘W’ Stands For | Babylon Bee Parody 

. . . The confusion came after coaches were asked if they support recent comments by players expressing concern over the trend of men playing in women's sports leagues.

""We're not biologists," White said. "Nor do we know what words mean. So that ‘W' could stand for just about anything. We're inclusive here at the WNBA; we don't want anyone to feel left out. Wombats... wallabies... Wu Tang Clan... everyone can play here."

"The coach doubled down on the confusion, giving a list of more potential things the "W" might represent. "Witch. Walter White. Wakanda… whatever it is. Maybe it's literally 'Whatever.'" . .

Travis wasn't done, though: he had this epic idea to share Monday afternoon. He has another idea for an epic ball squad:

"Introducing the most inclusive team in @WNBA history: the Nashville Balls. A 100% trans organization — men finally breaking the glass ceiling in women’s sports!"

[General George Brinton] McClellan: The original Fauci

"How serendipitous; reading all the character studies on Mr. Fauci, my thoughts went to Bruce Catton's book, Mr. Lincoln's Army, wherein he details the self-absorbed thoughts of this young general propelled into the national spotlight." [For which he was emotionally unprepared]. 

 J.R. Dunn - American Thinker   

 . . . "has there ever been a previous American as narcissistic as this guy? Well, difficult as it is to believe, there actually was. His name was George B. McClellan, and he was the commander of the Army of the Potomac during the first years of the Civil War."

. . . "That’s right. The entire government -- President Lincoln, the cabinet, and Army chief Gen. Winfield Scott -- all waited anxiously to hear what McClellan had to say, unable to come to a decision or make a move without his go-ahead. And beyond that: ”The people call upon me to save the country -- I must save it and cannot respect anything that is in the way... I have conversation after conversation calling on me to save the nation."

"It goes on like this page after page, one blast of rampant egomania after another. It’s too bad there was no mass media at the time. He’d have had more to write Ellen about.

"And when he wasn’t polishing his halo, he was dropping absolute contempt on everybody he was working with. Winfield Scott, who had served the country for over fifty years, was a “perfect imbecile” and a “traitor.” His nickname for Scott was “Dunky,” which means exactly what you think it does. McClellan worked to undermine Scott with some success – he forced him into retirement in November 1861, taking over as general-in-chief and doing a worse job than Scott had ever done.

"He tried to do the same with Lincoln, whom he dismissed as a “baboon’ and “gorilla.” At one point he told his wife that he had been advised by many people to “take the army and march on Washington.” (Now we know where Mark Milley gets his ideas.) He topped this off by running against Lincoln in 1864, failing in that, too.

"As the song goes, those were different times. So it’s hard to say whether George McClellan actually outdoes Anthony Fauci in the demented, over-the-top narcissist race (at least he didn’t kill as many people). But to my mind, running for the presidency clinches it. Come on, Tony. Go for it. 2028 is right around the corner."  More...

The Dumb, Arrogant Liars Who Are Also Journalists

Shall we say, "Yellow journalists"....."Fauci’s COVID lies expose corporate news as propaganda."

The Dumb, Arrogant Liars Who Are Also Journalists - American Thinker 

"Together, the Russia Collusion Hoax and the Reign of COVID Tyranny proved just how monstrously dishonest mainstream “journalists” really are.  There is nothing too preposterous for them to present as “truth” if doing so advances their preferred political narrative."  

. . . [Fauci's] lies were profound, and because mainstream news institutions refused to . question anything he said, his lies were the only bits of information allowed to circulate in the public sphere.  So-called “journalists” not only repeated verbatim exactly what the government’s chief medical bureaucrat claimed to be true but also cheered social media platforms for censoring competing points of view.  “Reporters” working for The New York Times and CNN were enthralled by Fauci’s perceived professional prestige and institutional authority.  Why?  Because they are enamored of their own perceived professional prestige and institutional authority.  They worship glory and accolades; they are slaves to appeals to authority; they care nothing for the pursuit of truth.

Bing

This is why so many “journalists” jumped to defend Fauci’s honor after his embarrassing refusal to say anything truthful.  MSNOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell insisted that the dishonorable doc had “done more in service to this country than…the entire current United States Senate combined.”  CNN’s Jake Tapper pretended that he wasn’t having dinner parties with Fauci while the rest of America was kept in lockdown and isolation.  And CNN “media analyst” Brian Stelter continued to ignore how both Jake Tapper and Dana Bash developed unethical personal relationships with Fauci while CNN’s “journalists” portrayed the health bureaucrat’s lies as unquestionable “truths.”

"If you need a reminder of just how sanctimonious and authoritarian mainstream media mouthpieces were during the Reign of COVID Tyranny, watch this video montage of Jake Tapper and other hysterical fearmongers demanding that Americans submit to the COVID police state and do everything Fauci required of them.  In that video, Fauci menacingly tells Americans, “Now is the time to do what you are told.”  Around that time, CNN’s quack medical expert, Dr. Leana Wen, argued that the “unvaccinated” should not be “allowed” to leave their homes." . . .    More...

Mostly Peaceful: The Birth of an Excuse – Commentary Magazine 

 . . . "The journalists who attempt to explain away or justify the violence that erupted during some protests do so because they believe the cause is righteous. As E. Alex Jung of New York magazine argued, “the entire journalistic frame of ‘objectivity’ and political neutrality is structured around white supremacy.” How can a good journalist do anything but promote a narrative sympathetic to protestors supposedly fighting it? Needless to say, such justifications and excuse-making would never happen if pro-life or pro–Second Amendment protestors turned to looting and violence." . . .

Adam Schiff Demanded AI Parody Ads Be Banned After He Invented Fake Trump Quotes and Called It Parody

"Schiff invented Trump demanding Zelensky "make up dirt on my political opponent" – then added that Trump threatened to repeat the demand eight times so Zelensky would "listen good." Trump said none of that. Not a word."

"Adam Schiff invented fake Trump quotes before a live congressional hearing and called it parody.

"Now he's introduced a bill to ban exactly that.

"The man who put the mob boss dialogue in a president's mouth before a national audience – and called it parody – wants to define what parody is allowed.

"The Parody Defense That Launched a Career

"Here's what happened in September 2019, and don't let anyone pretend it was complicated.

"Schiff sat in the chair of the House Intelligence Committee during a nationally televised hearing with acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire.

"He opened with a performance.

"He read what he framed as the "essence" of Trump's call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky – except none of it matched the transcript the White House had released the day before." . . .

What triggered this sudden concern for election integrity.

Spencer Pratt – yes, the reality TV star running for Los Angeles mayor – ran AI-generated ads where Mayor Karen Bass appeared as the Joker and Pratt appeared as Batman fighting crime alongside her.

California voters loved it.

Schiff and his allies are furious.

GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton also ran AI ads targeting Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris, and Democrats are apoplectic about that too.
