The Man Who Isn't There

GOP pundit Scott Jennings slaps down CNN commentator’s rosy view of Biden presidency: ‘He’s going to leave office in disgrace’

Who the Hell is Running the Country?  . . ."Jake Sullivan? Anthony Blinken? Susan Rice? Barack Obama? Jill Biden? Three-quarters of Biden’s top cabinet picks worked for Obama. This unelected cabal usurped the will of the voters, assuming dubiously that Biden was legitimately elected.

"Who opened U.S. borders? Who pushed the war in Ukraine and keeps poking the Russian bear closer to nuclear war? Who has been prosecuting Trump and his advisors and supporters? Who is appointing judges and other key government officials?
"Who pardoned 8,000 criminals, including 37 on federal death row? Who is instituting last-minute rules and regulations to thwart Trump and the DOGE commission? Who is leaving political landmines in Ukraine, Syria, Yemen, and elsewhere?
"America has a shadow government, not an elected president. Anyone who challenges the narrative is a conspiracy theorist. Videos of Biden getting lost or falling were explained by the White House as “cheapfakes.” MSNBC claimed Biden wandering off at the G7 summit was a “deepfake.” These are words that obfuscate their lies.
"The executive branch parroted the commander and chief’s charade and lies, which followed Biden’s illusion of competence. The FBI and DOJ lied about the Trump-Russia collusion, Jan. 6, Hunter Biden’s laptop, and the handling of classified documents." . . .

Joe Biden heads out on a low note, more despised than ever   "Now that our long, national nightmare of Joe Biden's presidency is ending, here's a gander at his December public approval rating from RealClearPolitics:" . . .

All of Team Joe aided in the Big Lie — now the world knows the truth of the     "Ever since The Post broke the story of Hunter Biden’s laptop in October of 2020, it’s been obvious that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s influence peddling schemes.

"The president’s serial denials were as credible as Bill Clinton’s claim that “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”

"Biden’s most ridiculous lie was that he never even discussed Hunter’s foreign business with him.

"Laptop messages and photos showing Joe meeting with some of Hunter’s skeezy clients proved otherwise." . . .

Hulking trans child molester repeatedly sexually assaulted female cellmate after being transferred to women's prison: suit

NY Post   

“A bunch of women, when they’re in the showers, these people are just standing there. They don’t have to stand on their tippytoes and they look over and see everything. People were so uncomfortable. You feel kind of like you’ve been violated,” the unnamed prisoner said." 

 [Mister] Williams, who identifies as a transgender woman,
is accused of sexually assaulting [his] female cellmate 

"A former inmate at a Washington state women’s prison was repeatedly sexually assaulted by her hulking transgender cellmate — who was transferred to the prison after changing her gender identity, according to a shocking new lawsuit.

"Mozzy Clark sued the state department of corrections in federal court last week for locking her in a cell with a 6-foot-4 convicted child molester who allegedly subjected her to months of stalking, threats of violence and sexual harassment and assault, according to the lawsuit.

"The cellmate, Christopher Scott Williams, was convicted of sexually assaulting a young girl as a male, and was serving a separate sentence for domestic abuse.

"Williams then petitioned to be recognized as female and be transferred to a women’s prison, according to the lawsuit.

"When the state granted the request and placed Williams in a cell with Clark, the latter’s life became a living nightmare, she alleged.

"State DOC records show Williams is listed as female at the Washington Corrections Center for Women. 

"Clark claimed Williams, who slept above her in the top bunk, would threaten to rape her, leer at her in the shower, and constantly ask for sex — once with a homemade dildo he had brought into the cell, according to the lawsuit.

“ 'In their cell, Ms. Clark was on the bottom bunk. Mr. Williams … would hover menacingly over Ms. Clark’s bunk with an erection while touching himself. He would also display his erection to Ms. Clark against her will, and gesture towards it, saying how much he wanted her,” the lawsuit alleged.

“ 'One night, Ms. Clark woke up and saw inmate Williams sitting on the floor next to her bed with his arm under her blanket, rubbing her genitals,” the lawsuit adds.

"Clark said the guards did little to protect her when she complained. Eventually Williams was moved to a separate cell, but the inmate would seek her out, stare at her in the showers, and follow her into the bathroom — making perverted comments from the next stall, the documents alleged." . . .

Human Rights Lawyer: Jews’ ‘Darkest Hour Since the Holocaust’

Palestinian Terrorist Stabs Holocaust Survivor to Death

                     UNRWA  students:  “Stabbing Jews brings dignity to the Palestinians. We have to stab the Jews. They teach us that Jews are terrorists. I am ready to stab a jew and drive a car over them. I am ready to join ISIS” pic.twitter.com/Ew8FWqDqjY —  October 28, 2024

"This Hanukkah, Jews not only in the Middle East but also in Europe and North America cannot light their menorahs and travel in peace and security. Between genocidal Muslims and anti-Israel wokies, the world has become unsafe for Jews within living memory of the Holocaust.

“Today is the darkest hour for Jews since the Holocaust,” human rights lawyer Hillel Neuer told the Austrian Parliament in September. Israelis have been under near-constant attack since the heinous Hamas massacre of Oct. 7, 2023, but antisemitic hate has become a global tidal wave. “In Europe, where I live, Jews are afraid to show their names,” Neuer exclaimed. That is still true. A Holocaust survivor was just murdered by a Palestinian terrorist in Israel, American campuses are overrun with pro-Hamas activists, and Amsterdam was recently the scene of horrifying “pogroms.” Yet Western leaders continue to fund Gaza and criticize Israel for fighting jihadis. Neuer particularly called out the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas United Nations, whose UNRWA continues to spread Hamas propaganda against Israel." . . .

Hollywood loves #diversity — except when it comes to Israel and Jews ... "Things only got worse when the museum finally debuted a follow-up exhibition highlighting Jewish achievement in Hollywood but filled with anti-Jewish stereotypes.

"The exhibition was eventually modified, but a few months later the Academy came under additional fire when it selected Oct. 7 — the first anniversary of the Hamas attack — for an event to welcome new members. 

" 'This is not just about one mistake, but a pattern of erasing Jews from the entertainment industry,” observes Allison Josephs, founder and director of the Jewish Institute for Television and Cinema. “Jews like Jonathan Glazer, they’re applauded, but . . . when it comes to Jews who support Israel and Judaism, have we lost Hollywood?' ” . . .

'Ugly Chapter': Scott Jennings Nails Joe Biden's Disgraceful Political Legacy in Must-Watch Moment

Sister Toljah  

Kamala Harris apologist Bakari Sellers' only response was to suggest it was Trump who left "in disgrace" thanks to the events of January 6th, 2021 (where he called on supporters to "peacefully and patriotically" protest, which Sellers didn't mention) and also the two impeachments (which he left out were politically motivated hit jobs by Democrats who could not accept that he defeated Hillary 2024 . . .

"Already, Biden's political legacy is being hotly debated, with Democrats of course spinning his decades in government as a "distinguished career" in so many words.

"Republicans, meanwhile, have not been shy about pointing to a few inconvenient facts about Biden's time in Congress and then the White House, with his disgraceful treatment of Judges Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas from the late 1980s and early 1990s during their respective Supreme Court confirmation hearings coming to mind.

"Among them has been GOP strategist/CNN commentator Scott Jennings, who on the Thursday edition of "NewsNight" blasted Biden over his admitted regrets, which did not include the deadly 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, which resulted in the death of 13 U.S. service members.

On Sunday, Jennings made clear that he was not done assessing Biden's legacy, pointing again to Afghanistan and the Hunter Biden pardoning but also focusing more on the White House cover-up surrounding Joe Biden's mental acuity:Clinton in 2016). . . .

Scott Jennings Pushes Back on CNN Panelist’s Defense of Biden’s Legacy: ‘A Really Ugly Chapter’ – IJR

 CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings believes President Joe Biden will leave office “in disgrace.”

During a CNN panel, Karen Finney, a Democrat, expressed that she felt “Joe Biden’s record with regard to the things that he’s accomplished, I think will stand the test of time.”

“It was very disturbing to learn late in the year about just how bad, how poor his health has become. And like many, I did not realize that it had gotten to that point,” she said during the segment on Sunday. “That being said, I think he’s still look, he showed up for the job. He got the work done. I think some of the accomplishments also in the Middle East and foreign policy will also stand the test of time.”

Jennings pressed Finney, then added, “Look, I think he’s going to I think he’s going to leave office in disgrace.”

“The Hunter Biden pardon was disgraceful. He’s going to be remembered largely for inflation and for the disastrous Afghanistan pullout,” Jennings declared.

He continued: “And I think as we continue to we’re just getting the first draft of this now. But as we continue to learn about the massive cover-up that went on, not about his health, but about his mental acuity to cover that up, the efforts that were undertaken by the White House staff, by his family, not in the last couple of months, but for all four years. I think it’s going to be a really ugly chapter. It’s a diminished presidency because of it.”

The conversation comes amid a recent report by The Wall Street Journal titled, “How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge.”

“Presidents always have gatekeepers. But in Biden’s case, the walls around him were higher and the controls greater, according to Democratic lawmakers, donors and aides who worked for Biden and other administrations. There were limits over who Biden spoke with, limits on what they said to him and limits around the sources of information he consumed,” the report read.

Barack Obama: The Great Divider ; true in 2016 and true today

The National Interest  December 31, 2016  . . ."Why, in such a divided country, did Obama choose to inject race, and in such a provocative way?"

Even if Obama cannot solve America’s race problem, the power of the presidency ensures that he can make it worse. So far, he has.

"Had the Obama years turned out differently, the President’s recent remarks to the Congressional Black Caucus might have been forgivable, or at least forgettable. “I will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy,” he informed, if the African-American community “lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election.” In the current climate, however, President Obama’s comments, whatever their impact on the November elections, are likely to aggravate race relations.

"To appreciate the significance of Obama’s remarks, it bears mentioning Obama’s path to the presidency. In the forty years before Obama’s election, a succession of vice presidents and governors ascended to the Oval Office only after decades of scrutiny in the public arena.

"Obama was judged by a different standard. The journey from Columbia University to Editor of the Harvard Law Review to an appointment on the University of Chicago faculty is typically littered with scholarly publications, clerkships and other professional accolades. In Obama’s case, the most conspicuous items on his resume were two autobiographies — both about his racial identity — and an unremarkable stint in Illinois politics.  

"Yet it was on this basis that America gambled on Obama. What reason was there to catapult an anonymous state senator into the presidency within a span of four years?

"Much of the rationale for Obama’s candidacy mirrored the arguments frequently proffered for affirmative action programs. The inclusion of minorities in our highest positions of power, we’re often told, will produce racial progress once minorities see that they have a place in American society, and once whites are persuaded that minorities can be integrated on equal terms.

"Enter Obama. After a string of failed African-American candidates for President, Obama was the first who seemed to have the right temperament and intuitions. He inspired minorities without resorting to the crude racial politics of Jesse Jackson, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton. Yet he also offered a critique of race relations that appealed to white voters without the alienating conservatism of Alan Keyes.

"It was Obama’s 2004 address to the Democratic National Convention, in particular, that transformed him into a national figure. America was willing to tolerate the student councilish platitudes in the speech, for they had finally found an African-American leader committed to a benign vision of post-racialism. So enthralled were the American people that they even overlooked the inspiration behind the speech — Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s long-time former pastor. This was quite generous. Obama, after all, had disavowed Wright not after his anti-American and anti-Semitic sermons were leaked, but only after Wright’s incendiary interviews in the middle of the campaign became a liability." . . .

Joe Biden's Legacy Will Be That of a Criminally Incompetent Buffoon and Nothing Can Change That Verdict

 RedState

"Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates once said of Biden, "I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." We can add economic and domestic policy issues and an additional decade to that list."

"Joe Biden's inner circle put on a full-court press on Saturday to try to prevent Jimmy Carter dying vindicated in the knowledge that he was not the worst president in American history. In a front-page article in the Washington Post on the lowest readership day of the week, Biden's advisers tried to shore up their future employability as much as they tried to make their soon-to-be former boss look good (Joe Biden’s lonely battle to sell his vision of American democracy - The Washington Post). My colleague Nick Arama covered some of the highlights on Saturday, as well as the preview we got on Friday.

"Let's do a quick run-through of Biden's vision.

Biden was a victim of valuing policy over style.

“I have come to the conclusion in recent days that I’m wrong about that,” the South Carolina Democrat, 84, remembers telling Biden. “The new environment that we currently live in — style seems to carry the day more than substance.”

“Your style,” he told the president, “does not lend itself well to the environment we’re currently in.”

Clyburn’s conclusion — which was shared by anxious Democrats in the months before the president ended his reelection bid — undermined Biden’s theory of presidential leadership. After Donald Trump’s ascent, Biden believed that he just needed to show Americans that traditional democracy still worked — by listening to experts, working with Republicans, passing popular policies — and voters would rally around him.

"If there was any substance to Biden, and that is a very arguable position, it was his utter contempt for half the country. He set about corrupting federal law enforcement (more on that in a moment) and enslaving the executive branch to the forces of racial division and, indeed, hatred. 

Biden was too deep a thinker to be appreciated by the Lumpenproletariat.

“The president has been operating on a time horizon measured in decades, while the political cycle is measured in four years,” Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, said in an interview.

Sullivan added that Biden’s accomplishments by their nature will take a long time to bear fruit. “How to govern at this moment to set the U.S. up for long-term success has one answer, and how to govern to deal with midterm and presidential elections in the very short term might have a different answer,” he said. “The president went with doing the things that really put America in a strong position.”

"This may be the most ludicrous item in the article and can best be viewed as Jake Sullivan interviewing for a think tank job or university faculty position." . . .  Much more here...

January 6 Political Prisoners Launch Historic $50 Billion Class Action Lawsuit Against DOJ

 The Gateway Pundit

"In a groundbreaking legal battle, over 100 January 6 political prisoners have come together to file what is being hailed as the largest lawsuit ever against the Department of Justice.

"Officially named the January 6 Restitution and Wrongful Incarceration Lawsuit, this $50 billion class action is spearheaded by Jake Lang, a January 6 prisoner who has been incarcerated for nearly four years. Lang, through his new organization, Federal Watchdog, the Anti-Lawfare Group, is joined by an esteemed team of conservative attorneys, including Steven Metcalf, Anthony Sabatini, Stephanie Lambert, and Jonathan Gross. Together, they aim to expose the injustices faced by January 6 prisoners and secure much-needed restitution.

A Fight for Justice

"The lawsuit, set to be filed on January 20, 2025, has already garnered widespread support, with over 100 prisoners signing on. This historic legal action seeks to compensate these individuals for the extensive harm inflicted by what they describe as a weaponized justice system. From the loss of generational family businesses, homes, and careers to the irreparable emotional and psychological damage suffered during years of wrongful incarceration, the plaintiffs are demanding accountability for the Federal Government’s actions." . . . Full article

New Rasmussen Poll Has More Bad News for Liz Cheney About FBI Investigation 

 . . ."As we previously reported, a recent interim report from the Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight found that the events of Jan. 6 were preventable. It also dropped some bombshell allegations against former Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney including that she may have tampered with a witness, Cassidy Hutchinson." . . .

 . . ."I don't think Cheney expected that during the election, and I'm fairly certain Kamala Harris didn't. Another example of how much Harris completely misjudged the opinion of the American public. She embraced Cheney, thinking that she was somehow reaching out for some mystical, middle vote that Cheney represented. But as the people of Wyoming proved, Cheney had no constituency except Democrats and those folks were already voting for Harris (or sitting out). She didn't add anything. Harris only lost leftists who saw the embrace as a cynical rejection of all their past concerns about Cheney and her father.

"But the report and the poll are certainly going to add to the call for Kash Patel to act, if he is approved to head the FBI."

‘The View’ Co-Host in Hot Water: Alyssa Farah Griffin Caught Coaching Federal Witness and Known Liar Cassidy Hutchinson – May Face Criminal Investigation  . . ."As Cristina Laila pointed out earlier, Loudermilk obtained January 6 ‘star witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson’s Signal messages, which revealed she was directly communicating with J6 Vice Chair Liz Cheney in 2022.

"Liz Cheney was communicating with Cassidy Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge—knowing this is unethical.

"“In the months prior to Hutchinson’s explosive private and public testimony, Cheney communicated with Hutchinson, both directly and through an intermediary—Alyssa Farah Griffin—while Hutchinson was represented by her attorney, Stefan Passantino. The Select Committee conducted six transcribed interviews of Hutchinson in total. Passantino represented Hutchinson for the first three interviews,” the Oversight Committee said.

"Text messages were posted on social media showing The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin Cassidy Hutchinson was clearly tampering with the witness Cassidy Hutchinson." . . .

"Byron Donalds Floats Theory About the Biden Death Row Commutations, and He Might Be Right on the Money"

Sister Toldjah; RedState   

"Biden's guiding force for the entire four years of his presidency has been the activist left, who have used Biden as a vessel to try and foist the worst of their ideas (and there are many) on the American people by way of executive decisions/actions/orders." . . .

"As RedState previously reported, President Joe Biden decided to drop an unwelcome Christmas surprise on the families of murder victims whose killers were on federal death row by commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 inmates to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

"... guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level," Biden's said in a statement posted to the White House website Monday.

"In the next sentence, Biden confirmed he was doing this in part to spite President-Elect Donald Trump, a proponent of capital punishment, saying, "In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted."

"Biden's announcement came some two weeks after he commuted the sentences of nearly 1,500 people and pardoned 39, which was done just a few days after he issued a sweeping pardon of his son, convicted felon Hunter Biden, in what many political observers view as Democrat privilege run wildly amok.

"Though the death row commutations were particularly infuriating, some have suggested that maybe it wasn't Biden himself who was the driving force behind the move. Among them is Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), who during a Fox News interview Thursday noted that he believed Biden didn't even know what he was signing: . . ."

Joe Biden Is No Longer In Touch With Reality  "Is President Joe Biden making any decisions anymore? Who knows? Probably not. Heck, it was debatable from day one whether he was the one actually in charge of his administration. Well, now he’s made it crystal clear that he’s utterly disconnected from reality.

"According to White House insiders, Biden is reportedly lamenting his decision to to drop out of the presidential election, and—try not to laugh—he still believes he could have easily defeated Donald Trump had he stayed in the race. " . . .

Joe Biden heads out on a low note, more despised by the public than ever   . . ."These are his naked poll numbers, without the media gaslighting. That tells us they've been protecting him a lot. Good press coverage kept a lid on negative public perceptions of him,  but that manhole cover has blown off now, and the gross reality is seeping out.

"That's Joe Biden, one of the worst presidents in U.S. history, with the public recognizing his failure."

Democrat Jasmine Crockett Shows Off Her Special Brand of Stupid on MSNBC in Lame Attack on Trump
