Biden’s courthouse folly - Washington Examiner  "Whatever the jury decides in former President Donald Trump’s New York City felony bookkeeping trial, any pretense that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution was not entirely political died Tuesday when President Joe Biden’s campaign held an event on the courthouse steps.

“ 'First of all, let me say this,” Biden spokesman Michael Tyler shouted over Trump supporters taunting the Biden campaign. “First and foremost, we are not here today because of what is going on over there,” Tyler continued, motioning toward the courthouse. “We are here today because you all are here,” he said, motioning to the assembled press.

"But the only reason the press were there was the spectacle of the Trump trial, a trial Biden’s White House has more than happily supported with snide remarks about Trump’s required presence in the courtroom. Tyler then added to the absurdity of the spectacle by introducing a masked Robert De Niro, who claimed Trump “wants to destroy not only this city, but the country, and eventually, he could destroy the world.”

"The farce of Biden’s courthouse campaign press conference has been more than matched by Bragg’s preposterous arguments in the courtroom. Trump is charged with falsifying business records by causing his accountants to label payments to lawyer Michael Cohen as legal expenses rather than something else. The prosecution has not, however, given any guidance on what an accurate description of the payments would have been." . . .

Pennsylvania Stands Up ‘Scranton Joe’: Biden’s Philadelphia Event Empty (breitbart.com)  "Few people were reportedly in attendance at a Joe Biden rally in Philadelphia on Wednesday, despite Pennsylvania being an important swing state for him to win.

"Photos showing vast spaces of emptiness at the Philadelphia rally began to circulate on Wednesday from New York Post reporter Steven Nelson.

“Photos from President Biden’s Philadelphia rally: the school’s gym is only about half full of supporters A good amount of space is empty and spacious press workspace takes up the rest,” Nelson noted on X.

Trump Trial Judge Could be Disbarred for his Actions. Here is the Case Against Him... (Video)

 The Gateway Pundit | by Grant Stinchfield

The Judge overseeing President Trump’s New York trial has broken numerous judicial standards that his behavior should lead to his disbarment. Judge Juan Merchan’s bias against President Trump is indisputable. Any “reasonable” person can spot it. We go through each of his missteps, mistakes, and deceitful decisions aimed at swaying the jury to convict.

"His behavior is so outside the bounds of standard judicial conduct that he is guilty of not just ethical violations, but he clearly has violated Donald Trump’s constitutional right to due process.

"That violation could lead the U.S. Supreme Court to step in. In this podcast, I lay out the exact New York Statutes that prove Judge Juan Merchan’s official misconduct." . . .

Joe Biden Visits Daughter-in-Law Hallie Ahead of Testimony at Hunter Biden’s Gun Trial

 

National Review (msn.com) "Less than two weeks before Hunter Biden is set to go to trial for felony gun charges, his father, President Joe Biden, paid a visit to one of the upcoming trial’s key witnesses.

"Last night, Joe Biden visited his daughter-in-law Hallie Biden, the widow of Beau Biden and ex-girlfriend of Hunter Biden, according to the White House pool report. Beau Biden was deployed to Iraq and it is Memorial Day weekend.

The president does not appear to be distancing himself from his son as the criminal trial is set to get underway. Joe Biden’s visit to Hallie Biden follows a state dinner held by the White House last week with Hunter Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland on the guest list.

Garland is responsible for appointing special counsel David Weiss, who is leading the prosecution of Hunter Biden. The younger Biden’s attorneys have unsuccessfully sought to dismiss his gun charges based on arguments that Weiss is unlawfully appointed and selectively prosecuting Biden, even though Weiss’s boss is an appointee of Biden’s father.

Three of Hunter Biden’s exes, including ex-wife Kathleen Buhle and Hallie Biden, are expected to testify about Hunter’s drug addiction at his gun trial beginning next week, the New York Post reported based on the prosecution’s trial brief filed last week. The women are not named in the court filings, but they are identifiable based on data from Biden’s abandoned laptop, Biden’s memoir, public reports, and other available records.

Popcorn: Hunter Biden's Ex-Stripper Baby Mama to Publish Tell-All in August – PJ Media  "The 2024 United States Presidential Election Circus continues to keep all three rings busy 24/7 with stuff to watch. The one certainty that we can count on is that we are not going to be bored between now and November. 

"One of the biggest assists that Joe Biden got from mainstream and social media in 2020 was the brutal effectiveness with which they swept the news of his boy Hunter's laptop under the rug. In fact, they insisted that it wasn't even real. If any of us in conservative media dared mention it, we were silenced and de-platformed. Even the New York Post got booted from social media for having the audacity to publish the very real news about it. 

"Whether it would have changed anything is impossible to know now, but the unmitigated sleaziness of Hunter Biden might have been off-putting to those soccer moms who flocked to his daddy in that election. 

"Even Joe Biden's Department of Justice head goon Merrick Garland couldn't keep Hunter away from a reckoning, although he did try. Victoria wrote the other day that the formerly fake laptop is so real that it's going to be evidence in his gun trial. 

"The judge in that trial ruled that many aspects of Hunter Biden's wilder days couldn't be discussed. Well, one of them is going to get some airtime later this summer. " .  . .

Greater Idaho: Why Are Oregon Counties Voting to Join Idaho?

 Intellectual Takeout

If ultimately successful, the Greater Idaho movement would redraw the state border 200 miles to the west, reducing the geographical size of Oregon by around 70 percent. Idaho would gain every county east of the Oregon Cascades and grow in size by a whopping 80 percent.

"The Greater Idaho movement might be the most tangible and effective political rebellion taking place today in America.

You’ll find no anarchists in its ranks, however. This movement is led by humble rural conservatives and has gained breathtaking traction through little more than grassroots activism and democratic participation.

The latest development: Last week, residents of Crook County in eastern Oregon voted in favor of starting negotiations to secede from their state and come under the jurisdiction of Idaho.

Incredibly, Crook County is the 13th county to pass the measure. Since  2020, 17 of Oregon’s 36 counties—or almost half the counties in the Beaver State—have voted on the “Greater Idaho” proposal, and only four have rejected it.

“The voters of eastern Oregon have spoken loudly and clearly about their desire to see border talks move forward,” Greater Idaho Executive Director Matt McCaw said in a statement, according to News Nation. “With this latest result in Crook County, there’s no excuse left for the Legislature and Governor to continue to ignore the people’s wishes.”. . .

Anger Games - Biden Campaign Organize Extremely Divisive Event in Philadelphia

 The Last Refuge

"There were seemingly only a few dozen people who attended the speech; but wow was the Joe Biden event divisive.  Also, watch how many times Joe Biden is going back to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Philly, then South Carolina, then back to Philly, then South Carolina, that’s the pattern.  BLM then AME, then back to BLM, then back to AME.  This is the 7th time Biden has gone to an organized event in Philly (it’s not about campaigning).

"The Biden campaign organized what the media are calling a “black outreach” event; however, the remarks and speech was one of the most divisive, toxic and bitter racist events in modern political history.  The Biden campaign is relying on the formula they used in 2020, where James Clyburn, Barack Obama, the AME Church and Black Lives Matter organizers activated a regional playbook to influence the election.

"In the big picture the Black Lives Matter (BLM) group are the ballot harvesters, the essential foot soldiers for the race-based electoral system Clyburn and Obama constructed. The AME network are the ballot counters, the precinct poll workers, spread throughout the various urban enclaves of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Virgina and both Carolinas. It’s a race-based coalition, dependent on conformity to achieve the 2024 objective.

"The extremely toxic remarks made by Joe Biden were intended to rally the racist sentiment amid the black voters in the key precincts within key states.  However, for 2024 the challenge is larger. Minorities are just like all Americans who are negatively impacted by Bidenomics, inflation, energy prices, the open border and illegal migration ¹intended to suppress wages.  WATCH:" . . .

Critics Blast Trump Trial Jury Rule They Don’t Have to Agree on ‘Crime’ (breitbart.com)

 

Trump Wins. What Next? (Part 2)

 Kurt Schlichter (townhall.com)

"When Donald Trump beats Grandpa Badfinger in November, he better hit the ground ready to fight. In my Monday column, we discussed how the Democrats will completely freak out and attempt to disrupt the peaceful transition of government – an act that’s going to be absolutely fine and necessary to maintain Our Democracy even though last week it was the worst thing ever. This second columns talks about what must happen right after Trump is re-inaugurated, God-willing, and what he must do immediately upon taking office. Momentum and inertia are vital. Trump must take his objectives quickly. He must put points on the board immediately on Day One. 

"Speed is not just of the essence – it is everything. Look at what happened with Israel in Gaza. It should have destroyed Hamas immediately. No waiting. No screwing around. Get in there and get it done. Nothing wins like winning. There’s no victory like victory. You’ve got to get in there and make it happen fast. When you hesitate, it gives the enemy the time to rebuild, re-orient, and counterattack. The IDF should’ve been hanging scumbags from what few lampposts that remain standing in Gaza within the first month, well before all the little keffiyeh-clad scumbags started occupying campus quads and President Gumby started showing his spinelessness.

"Audacity, audacity, audacity.

"The same is true with Trump taking power again. Take power and use power ruthlessly and without hesitation or lose – those are the choices. He’s got to get wins quickly and needs to pile wins upon wins so fast that the regime media and the institutions can’t decide what to react to. You’ve got to overwhelm the left, and you can only do that with proper planning. You have to plan the transition out so that on Day One, right after he takes his hand off the Bible and goes back to the White House, Trump starts signing things. Orders. Pardons. Regulations. They need to be waiting for him to sign. You take the initiative and you get inside the enemy’s decision cycle. You hit them with so many things so fast that they can’t pick out what to focus on. Overwhelm them with conservatism.

"Not only does this tactic neutralize the ability of the regime media to create fake media firestorms, but it also has a morale effect by cheering up us voters when we see our priorities finally put into action. . . ."

Biden has largely stayed out of the Trump trial, but that appears to be a thing of the past

Biden has largely stayed out of the Trump trial, but that appears to be a thing of the past | Just The News

"The Biden campaign has, throughout much of former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial, largely refrained from addressing or politicizing the matter. But in recent days, the campaign appears to have taken a different approach, with leaked reports and impromptu campaign events outside of the courthouse.

"Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a 2016 payment his then-attorney, Michael Cohen, made to Stormy Daniels, for the ultimate purpose of illegally influencing the 2016 presidential election. Trump has pleaded not guilty and contends that the case is part of a broader political witch hunt designed to derail his 2024 bid for the White House. The trial has proceeded to jury deliberations.

"The absence of a verdict, thus far, has complicated the matter for the Biden campaign and some analysts have contended that attempting to play up a prospective conviction could backfire in the event of a different outcome.

“ 'Because we don’t have a verdict, the Biden campaign right now is in a very delicate situation where the last thing you’d want to do is to play up this big trial and then have Trump be found not guilty,” Boston College Professor David Hopkins told The Hill. Biden is also expected to deliver remarks after the verdict.

"Republicans, for their part, have long insisted the case is politically motivated. Speaking on an upcoming edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" television show, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley said that "[a]t its inception, this trial and all of the other trials that we're seeing both civil and criminal around the cou" . . .

Al Qaeda Praises Left-Wing Protests On College Campuses

 Al Qaeda Praises Left-Wing Protests On College Campuses (dailywire.com)

"The terrorist group responsible for the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States — which resulted in thousands of Americans being killed — praised the left-wing pro-Hamas protesters who have disrupted college campuses over the last two months.

"The protests that erupted in April led to encampments popping up at various top universities across the U.S. as Jewish students and law enforcement were attacked and the protesters called for the destruction of the state of Israel and, in some cases, went further by calling for an “Intifada,” which is a terrorist attacks against Jews or the state of Israel. Professional agitators helped whip up the chaos at many of the schools, according to various law enforcement officials.

"The Islamic terrorist group said in a statement that “every Muslim was happy” with the attacks on Israel that were carried out by “the youth of the Islamic nation.”

“While we support the assassination of the infidel Zionists and the beheading of them, we also appreciate and value the movement of Western demonstrators and sit-in students from Western universities, who through their sit-ins and protests expressed their rejection of the genocide taking place in Gaza,” the terrorist group said.

The Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, which is based in Lebanon, also praised the protesters earlier this month.

“ 'When the American people take a stand in support of Gaza … we salute and applaud them,” said Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem. “We appreciate and value this very much. … The [campus protests] are important, especially because they will have an impact on the U.S. elections. They will have an impact on the American position. Even if Biden says that he will not be influenced by this, he will whether he likes it or not. We will see him taking actions because of the protesters’ influence on him.” . . .

Joe Biden gets absolutely obliterated for posting wildly offensive George Floyd remembrance message...

 - Revolver News 

On this day, we should also spare a thought for the good people who lost their lives due to the left-wing riots sparked by George Floyd’s criminal life. Also, let’s not forget the countless businesses and homes wrecked in the name of this felon as well.Joe Biden should be ashamed of himself.

George Floyd should be alive. He deserved so much more.
Today, I join all those who loved him and all those touched by the civil rights movement he inspired in remembering the tragedy and injustice of his death.
He changed the world.
Now, let's act in his memory. pic.twitter.com/uPSCkxFMRs

— President Biden (@POTUS) May 25, 2024

 "Let’s not forget that Memorial Day isn’t the only “holiday” this weekend. Hopefully, y’all have your houses decked out and commemorative cards sent off in time, because May 25th marks the anniversary of St. Floyd’s death. You can bet your sweet bippy that our dear, bumbling leader Joe Biden hasn’t forgotten. Sure, Joe might struggle to remember his own name or string a coherent sentence together, but who cares about such trifles on a solemn day of mourning and remembrance? Nothing, not even an avalanche of cognitive decline, can prevent him from honoring the greatest “civil rights” hero of our time—Mr. George Floyd.

"The moniker really fits. After all, Floyd’s autopsy report revealed a fatal overdose of fentanyl, hardly a shock given his well-documented struggles with addiction.

"In what can only be described as a wildly offensive and out-of-touch display, Joe’s handlers lavished praise on a man infamous for sticking a loaded gun in a pregnant woman’s belly and threatening her life, all while his pals ransacked and robbed her home. No one who’s capable of that type of sickening violence deserves to be glorified or idolized. Period. But Biden is right about one thing. Floyd deserved more; his family should have placed him into drug rehabilitation and anger management to try to turn him into a productive member of society. Instead, they dropped the ball, and he chose to pass counterfeit bills, consume dangerous amounts of drugs, and resist arrest; ultimately, his actions killed him and tore this nation apart.

"Speaking of the fake 20-dollar bill, Floyd was notorious for spreading counterfeit bills, a fact that was completely glossed over. Prosecutors merely shrugged their shoulders, suggesting Floyd should have just been ticketed and sent on his merry way."

Biden’s Covert Plan to Sabotage a Trump Comeback

 Luis Cornelio | Headline USA

“History should judge [Fauci] as a deficient person who made one of the worst decisions in public health history — in the entire history of the world,” Paul said in an interview on WABC 770 AM’s The Cats Roundtable. 

"President Joe Biden is working to block former President Donald Trump from enacting his policies during a potential second term by imposing new regulations at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), according to Politico. 

"“The White House fears Trump could try to advance an ideological agenda at the National Institutes of Health, like the ones he’s suggested on everything from vaccines to diversity policies,” the outlet reported. 

"Biden’s controversial plan involves establishing a council to review what he deems political interference within the federal agency, with Biden official Lyric Jorgenson at the helm of this undemocratic initiative. 

“Interfering and manipulating science to hit a partisan agenda is inappropriate and is what we’re working to wall against,” Jorgenson said, likely indicating a move against potential Trump-led initiatives. 

"Jorgenson, who is also overseeing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), seems to be part of Biden’s broader strategy to control key health agencies. 

“ 'The White House knows Trump could still cast those plans aside but is calculating that doing so will set off alarms with the media, Congress and the public,” Politico noted. “The Biden administration likely hopes GOP lawmakers, even those who think the NIH needs an overhaul, will temper Trump’s moves.” 

"Critics argue this maneuver is a desperate attempt by Biden to cling to power and stifle Trump’s agenda.

The Media Guide to Shooting Joggers

 Ann Coulter (townhall.com)

"Convenience store employees reported Arbery was known as 'the jogger' because he would stretch and pretend to warm up outside the store and then run in and out quickly, stealing stuff. ... The employees said they tried to have police give the man a criminal trespass warning, but he always ran off before they could."

"I did not think I could hate The New York Times more.

"But thanks to Gregory Mantell's amazing new book, "Special Victim Status, The Era of Woke Journalism," I do! Mantell's carefully researched book provides hundreds of new facts about the press's fanatical propaganda on race.

"Coincidentally, this week is the four-year anniversary of George Floyd's death, and I think the traditional gift is paper. You know what would make a great anniversary gift? This book.

"Nothing shocked me more than Chapter 3 on the Ahmaud Arbery case.

"If you follow the news, you know that Arbery was the innocent black jogger chased down by three racist rednecks in Georgia and shot dead merely for "jogging while black."

"Arbery's killers, Travis and Gregory McMichael, were convicted in about six minutes and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Plus 20 years, just to be safe. Eight months later, they got bonus life sentences in separate federal hate crimes prosecutions. A neighbor, William "Roddie" Bryan Jr., who happened to be there, got 35 years (state) plus life (federal).

"Quite a turnabout for a case that three prosecutors refused to take after concluding there was no crime. But our media can perform miracles!

"Mantell contrasts the media's treatment of Arbery's killing with their take on the murder of Christopher Lane, a white jogger shot and killed by a black man in Oklahoma.

The facts about the Israeli airstrike in Rafah and the fire that followed are starting to become clear, and they totally change the story:

 ALL Category Sports

The facts about the Israeli airstrike in Rafah and the fire that followed are starting to become clear, and they totally change the story:

◾️ The Israeli airstrike that targeted senior Hamas commanders in Rafah was more than a mile away from the safe zone for Palestinian civilians and more than 550 feet away from shelters Hamas had falsely claimed were targeted in the incident

◾️ The munitions used were the smallest possible: two warheads of 37 lbs each, far smaller than what other Western militaries use in comparable situations

◾️ The munitions could not themselves have ignited a fire of the size that resulted in the deaths of Palestinian civilians, indicating that Hamas weapons stored in or near the targeted structure—of which the IDF was unaware—may have exploded and caused the fire

◾️ Footage of the scene taken by Palestinians and uploaded to social media platforms appears to show secondary explosions, further indicating the presence of weapons in the area

◾️ A phone call within Gaza intercepted by Israeli intelligence contained the admission that the structure targeted by the airstrike served as an ammunition warehouse, that secondary explosions took place, and that the Israeli airstrike wasn't powerful enough to have ignited the fire

◾️ Hamas has been operating from the area since October 7; a rocket launcher used to fire rockets into Israel was located 150 feet from the targeted structure, suggesting that additional weapons were likely stored nearby and may have caused the fire

While none of this makes the heartbreaking results of the fire any less dreadful, it does call into question a lot of the reporting surrounding this tragic incident, which appears to have been based on false information put out by Hamas, rather than the facts on the ground.

You'd think news organizations would learn.
You'd be wrong.
