U.S. director of national intelligence says Iran is influencing and funding Gaza war protests

Jewish Insider

Reports that Iran is influencing some of these protests “should give us all concern,” Schneider continued.

"Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said on Tuesday that the Iranian government has both provoked and provided funding for protests in the U.S. over the war in Gaza, suggesting that connections between U.S.-based demonstrators and the Iranian regime and its affiliates go deeper than previously believed.

“In recent weeks, Iranian government actors have sought to opportunistically take advantage of ongoing protests regarding the war in Gaza, using a playbook we’ve seen other actors use over the years,” Haines said in a public statement. “We have observed actors tied to Iran’s government posing as activists online, seeking to encourage protests, and even providing financial support to protesters.”

"The statement doesn’t specifically say which protests have been influenced by Iranian actors, how much funding has been provided and for what purpose, when the influence operations began or what the viewpoints of the protesters in question have been. Other foreign adversaries, like Russia, have played both sides of U.S.-based protests in the interest of inciting domestic division and conflict.

“Americans who are being targeted by this Iranian campaign may not be aware that they are interacting with or receiving support from a foreign government,” Haines continued. “We urge all Americans to remain vigilant as they engage online with accounts and actors they do not personally know.”. . .

Democrat NBC Neurologist Lands a DEATH BLOW on Biden Narrative: 'He Definitely Has It'

  PJ Media  

You know what they say: It's not the crime, it's the coverup. If Biden had just come out and told the American people what he was dealing with, this whole debacle might have been avoided, especially if he could prove that his deficits were merely physical. *

"Did you have this on your 2024 Bingo card? I sure didn't. A Democrat neurologist who treats Parkison's patients went on NBC News — NBC NEWS!! — to talk about Joe Biden's condition — and it was very, very bad for the president. 

"Dr. Tom Pitts works with Parkinson's patients in a clinical setting in Dayton, Ohio. His specialty is listed as Neurology Clinical Interpretation, and although he has never met Biden, he said he could diagnose him with Parkinson's disease "from across the mall" — it's that obvious. 

""Oh, yeah, I see [patients like Biden] 20 times a day in the clinic. I mean, it's ironic because he has just the classic features of neurodegeneration," observed Pitts. I don't know what's ironic about that, but let's continue. 

"He noted one of Biden's symptoms, word-finding difficulties. "That's not, 'Oh, I couldn't find the word.' That's from degeneration of the word-retrieval area." He dismissed the idea that the deficits we've seen in Biden are related to his history of stuttering. "No, this is not a palatal issue or a speech discrepancy," which is very different from actual word retrieval, "where you pick a similar question or talk around the issue."

"He also noted Biden's "rigidity" and "loss of arm swing" when walking. "Lordotically [related to a curving inward of the lower back], you notice when he turns, it's kind of end-block turning," meaning he pivots on one foot. "It's not a quick turn." The video below shows examples of this. "So that's one of the hallmarks of Parkinson's, is rigidity and bradykinesia, slow movement."

"And he has that hallmark, especially with the low voices... a small, monotone voice like this over time, is a hallmark of Parkinsonism," he continued. There are examples of this in the video as well. 

"Asked if Parkinson's is difficult to diagnose, Pitts said, "Slow movement, rigidity, mass faces, hypophonia. I mean, if a med student did not pick Parkinson's on the test they'd be remediated." He added that a member of the U.S. military with Biden's symptoms "would be med-boarded out."  

"Pitts conceded, "We're finding [word] retrieval doesn't necessarily mean you don't know what you want to say. What I cannot comment on is his ability to make good decisions. His motor symptoms are degenerating. He has Parkinsosisms. That is a fact. You know, he has the generation of the brain.". . .

House Judiciary Releases Detailed Report on "How Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and Judge Merchan Violated the Constitutional and Legal Rights of President Trump"

  The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft 

The report also details Judge Merchan’s egregious legal rulings before and during the trial that all cut against President Trump’s rights, including: Judge Merchan’s failure to recuse himself for manifest political bias against President Trump; The unconstitutional gag order he imposed on President Trump during the trial; . . .

"In a bombshell release, the House Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Jim Jordan, has unveiled a comprehensive report titled “Lawfare: How the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and a New York State Judge Violated the Constitutional and Legal Rights of President Donald J. Trump.”

This interim staff report, a result of extensive investigations by the Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, exposes the egregious violations of President Trump’s rights by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan.

The report scrutinizes Bragg’s 34-count criminal indictment against Trump, which was announced on April 4, 2023.

The charges involved allegations of falsifying New York business records to conceal federal crimes related to payments made by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen to former porn star Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels, in 2017. The Judiciary Committee’s investigation, initiated in March 2023, found the prosecution to be politically motivated and legally deficient.

According to the press release:

The report explains the several ways in which New York County District Attorney (DANY) Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of President Trump suffers from severe legal and procedural defects, including:

• Bragg’s unconstitutional and unprecedented Russian-nesting-doll theory of criminal liability, in which the jury never had to reach unanimity as to each element of the criminal offenses; and
• Bragg’s usurpation of the federal government’s exclusive authority to prosecute alleged violations of federal campaign finance laws and the Biden-Harris Administration’s refusal to intercede to protect federal interests. . . .

Many may not like Donald Trump, but he has been persecuted by people much more despicable in their nature and motives. To wit:  LAWLESS: Chuck Schumer Announces Scheme to Strip President Trump of Court-Granted Immunity and Send Him to Jail (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Cullen Linebarger 

. . ."Schumer then announced he had something to ensure that Trump could still be

prosecuted effectively despite the Court ruling. He said he would be working with his fellow Democrats to classify Trump’s acts after the 2020 election as unofficial ones not subject to immunity, thereby removing court-granted immunity.

"If implemented into law, this would be a huge lifeline for the Biden regime as it tries to remove the presidential frontrunner from the field". . .

There are a number of respectable Democrats in Congress, but all those in my memory are ones I find to be - I have to say this - condemnable: Maxine Waters, Joy Reid, Adam Schiff plus all the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee save maybe Amy Klobuchar, the "Squad", Rashida Tlaib and everyone who took a knee for George Floyd, wore a Kaffiyeh or Che Guevara shirt, wore some costume in Congressional assemblies or engaged in any form of liberal "performance art" like pulling a fire alarm in a government building.

Now They’re Gaslighting Us About Biden’s ‘Accomplishments’

 Now They’re Gaslighting Us About Biden’s ‘Accomplishments’ – Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

"Yesterday, we pointed out how the press and Democratic Party politicians and operatives have started calling President Joe Biden a “good man,” despite all evidence to the contrary. Now the media are trying to convince the public that Biden has been a great president who racked up big accomplishments, which is another insult to our intelligence.

“Objectively speaking, President Joe Biden has presided over some significant, even historic, accomplishments,” is how the Atlantic put it.

Part II of “The Real Joe Biden” Series

Part I: “Joe Biden Is A Good Man? Please Don’t Insult Our Intelligence”

"The Atlantic writer could name only three. Massive spending programs (all with borrowed money), mandating COVID vaccines (that were developed in record time thanks to Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed), and “the lowest unemployment rate in over 50 years” – a rate that has been steadily increasing all year.

"This is the short list Biden sycophants usually trot out. But it’s the list of Biden’s failures that is truly impressive. Here’s just a sampling:

"Inflation. Prices have climbed 20% in the three-and-a-half years Biden has been in office. That compares with 8% during Trump’s entire term, and just 15% during Barack Obama’s eight. The massive increase in prices under Biden was exactly what many economists predicted would happen when he and his fellow Democrats poured trillions of borrowed dollars onto a fast-growing economy.

"Wages. Thanks to Bidenflation, real wages are 2.5% below where they were when Biden took office, even though he sworn in when wages were below their previous peak. In contrast, real wages climbed 7% during Trump’s first term.  (They had been up 10% before COVID knocked them down.)

"National debt. Since he’s been in the White House, Biden has added $7 trillion to the national debt – an increase of 25%. And monthly interest payments on that debt are now 200% higher than they were when Biden took office.

"Crime. Democrats and their handmaidens in the press keep insisting that crime rates are down. But the National Crime Victimization Survey, which includes both crimes that were reported to the police and those that weren’t, showed a 75% increase in 2022 (the latest year for which data are available). That includes a doubling of aggravated assaults.

"Illegal immigration. "In Trump’s four years in office, roughly 2 million illegals were encountered at the border. Most of them were turned back after Trump ended “catch and release” for asylum seekers and used public health concerns as a reason to turn others around. So far under Biden, more than 7 million have crossed the border illegally – that we know of. He simply waved most of them into the country." . . .

Here Are the 20 Promises in the Trump-RNC 2024 Platform

 Lucianne.com News Forum

"His 2024 Republican Party Platform is a bold roadmap that will undo the devastating damage that Joe Biden’s far-left policies have done to this country, power President Trump to a historic victory in November, and Make America Great Again." 

"The RNC's platform committee adopted the GOP's 2024 platform ahead of next week's national convention in Milwaukee with a heavy focus on America's "serious decline" since 2021 when President Joe Biden took office and inflicted policies that brought "raging inflation, open borders, rampant crime, attacks on our children, and global conflict, chaos, and instability."

"The platform dovetails into the themes for each night of the Republican National Convention announced earlier on Monday, as Katie reported, focusing on making America wealthy, safe, strong, and great "once again."

" 'President Trump’s 2024 Republican Party Platform articulates his vision to Make America Great Again in a way that is concise and digestible for every voter," said Trump Campaign Senior Advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles in a statement accompanying the official platform. "While Joe Biden and Democrats argue about who will be at the top of their ticket and have implemented policies that have raised prices on everyday families, opened the floodgates to migrant crime via wide-open borders, shackled American energy with red tape forced by Washington bureaucrats, and sewn chaos across the world through weak foreign policy, President Trump will Make America Great Again through these America First principles," the two emphasized." . . .

Proof-of-life video of captive IDF field observer released to public

  JNS.org

. . ."Kozlov described the constant dread that he might be killed at any moment. “Maybe in one minute, maybe in one hour,” he told Channel 13, adding that the terrorists always had a big knife handy." . . .

"A video of kidnapped Israel Defense Forces field observer Daniella Gilboa, who is still being held hostage by Hamas, was released to the public on Tuesday with the family’s consent.     "In what Hamas filmed for propaganda purposes, Gilboa is heard blaming the Israeli government for her continued confinement. (The video is available for viewing in certain locations.)  

“I’m under constant bombardment and gunfire around the clock, and I’m terrified for my life,” she said in the clip. “Why should I feel like I’ve been abandoned and forgotten? Pull yourselves together, dear government, and start doing your job properly. Bring us home alive.” . . .

Namas, as with all hostage takers, reduces victims to their most helpless state, and with their cry for help, apply psychological pressure on the objects of their anger. It seems to always work because even on the most valiant of targets. Every noble nation has its Greta Thunbergs and Columbia University scarf people.

Is Hunter Biden the Real Power Behind the Throne Now? *Shudder*

 Jazz Shaw – HotAir 

. . ."Joe Biden may indeed have given Hunter the job of acting as his "gatekeeper," as Miranda Devine states. He's living at the White House now full time and is constantly by his father's side. Of course, that doesn't mean that he's necessarily doing a good job, but it may be his job." . . . 

Hunter Biden laptop photo (nypost.com)

 "This story sort of popped up out of the blue this week and I'll be the first to admit that it sounds a bit preposterous on the surface. Could Hunter Biden actually be the mastermind behind whatever is going on in the White House right now? Instead of his Mother Jill being the driving force behind Joe Biden's decisions, might it be the First Son who is actually the Crackhead in Chief running the country? I won't mock anyone who is scoffing at the idea right now because there are plenty of reasons to do so. But the hot take in question is coming to us from Miranda Devine at the New York Post and she has been following Hunter's antics for a very long time now, more closely than almost anyone else in the media. By this point, we should have learned that if Devine believes she's caught a scent of something potentially important in the wind, we should probably pay attention." ...

 ..."Therein lies Hunter's main problem in terms of the political realities underlying this entire situation. If the Democrats have reached the point where they see Joe Biden as a hindrance in terms of hanging onto their control in Washington, they will cast him aside, as many have already begun showing a willingness to do. But Joe Biden was at least useful to them for a very long time. None of them have any loyalty whatsoever to Hunter. He's been nothing but a political embarrassment to them and an albatross around their necks. Joe is all Hunter has left, so you can rest assured that he will be hanging on with both hands as tightly as he possibly can and trying to ride this train as far as it can take him."

Argus Hamilton's Rogue Report

  Argus Hamilton (jewishworldreview.com)   • Wallet Hub reports Americans spent $17 billion on food, drinks and fireworks on Independence Day celebrations. I hope everyone had a great Fourth. I paid a 9% tax on fireworks to celebrate a war that erupted over a 2% tax on tea. It's not too late to ask King Charles to forgive us and take us back.

• The British Open will lure the top golfers in the world to the Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland beginning Sunday. I could really use the break and watch it. I haven't been able to watch golf or tennis or baseball the past month on TV. I'm too busy watching the final episode of the United States.

• The CDC warned of pandemic Tuesday after Bird Flu was detected in dairy cows in twelve states and infected four humans, causing panic. If you are already wearing a mask while driving alone in your electric vehicle you don't need that Biden in 2024 bumper sticker on the back of your car. We know.

• President Biden is hosting a summit at the White House of NATO nation leaders who will discuss how to counter aggression and prevent a world war. The summit gives me a crisis of conscience. If I know someone with dementia that has nuclear weapons, should I report him under the Red Flag Law?

• Senator Mark Warner and House Leader Hakeem Jeffries will try to persuade President Biden to step aside as the party's nominee this week. Biden had declared Friday he will step down only if the Lord Almighty tells him to step down. Morgan Freeman told Democrats he'll get to it when he gets to it.

• The White House last week kept adding new explanations for Biden's poor debate performance against Trump. It went through three phases. First Joe had a cold, and then he was jet-lagged, and finally you'd be distracted too if there was a dangerous convicted felon standing ten feet away from you.

• President Biden endured a tough interview with George Stephanopoulos Friday as he tried to salvage his candidacy. He won over one constituency. Joe's got the comedians on his side after he leaned forward and told Stephanopoulos he's the only candidate who can beat Donald Reagan in 2020.

• President Biden declared to a rally in Wisconsin Saturday that he is staying in the presidential race and added that no one is going to push him out. During a Philadelphia radio interview last weekend, Joe Biden referred to himself as a black woman. That was shrewd, now he's impossible to fire.

• The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Democrats are beginning to rally around the idea of Kamala Harris replacing Biden at the top of the ticket. They didn't always feel this way, When Kamala dropped out of the 2020 presidential primaries, she was polling at 3.2%, tied with Coors.

The President is fully in charge; he really is! He really is!

New: Explosive Report Blows Lid Off Joe Biden's Handlers, and What German Officials Saw During 2022 Visit – RedState   . . ."As the Wall Street Journal reported, their control has been close to absolute:

Senior White House advisers for more than a year have aggressively stage-managed President Biden’s schedule, movements and personal interactions, as they sought to minimize signs of how age has taken a toll on the oldest president in U.S. history.

The White House has limited Biden’s daily itinerary and shielded him from impromptu exchanges. Advisers have restricted news conferences and media appearances, twice declining Super Bowl halftime interviews—an easy way to reach millions of voters—and sought to make sure meetings with donors stuck to scripted pleasantries. 

[...]

At a fundraiser in New York around the time of the United Nations General Assembly last fall, Biden seemed at a loss trying to answer questions about the Middle East from people in a photo line, according to a person there. An aide whispered in Biden’s ear, the person said, and the president then answered.

The Morning Briefing: LOL Alert — The Dems Wanted Fiery Joe Biden, They Got Fiery Joe Biden  About Biden's strange tantrum at the SOTU: . . ."I have more than a passing familiarity with what people on high-end stimulants look and act like. POTUS was straight-up wired last night. 

"Yes, they'd given the boy the good stuff that night. 

"The result they got was a very wired, angry Joe Biden. At the time, that was a thing to celebrate. Dems wanted him to seem vital and ready to go after Donald Trump. It was nothing but a party for them. The few days after that were all about how fiery and combative he was. 

"It was party time for the Dems and their media lap dogs. 

"Well, the combative, divisive Joe Biden who the Democrats had hoped was manageable is still the guy who wants to battle, even if it means he has to push against the will of his party." . . .

Karine Jean-Pierre Can't Handle Questions From a Suddenly Engaged WH Press Corps, Fully Melts Down

 Sister Toldjah – RedState

"Popcorn stocked, wings sauced, and feet firmly planted on the ottoman. Bring it on, Baghdad Karine, because we are so here for it."

"It's got to be 50 shades of exhausting having to not just speak on behalf of Joe Biden but to cover for his incoherency and penchant for looking out of it and generally unwell. Couple that with having to spin his epic policy failures like the border crisis and the deadly Afghanistan debacle, and it pretty much becomes a no-win situation for those tasked with getting "the message" out, whatever it may be. 

"But that is what White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is paid a lot of money to do. And though she as one of his senior-most handlers hasn't done it particularly well throughout her tenure as Biden's second press secretary, it is her job description and one she wants people to believe she takes very seriously.

"On Monday, though, there was a crack in Jean-Pierre's usually oblivious veneer as the press briefing devolved into pandemonium over the explosive story of the Parkinson's expert, Dr. Kevin Cannard, who was said to have visited the Biden White House some eight times over a period of eight months starting in July 2023 as questions about Biden's mental acuity were reaching a fever pitch.

A letter was released by Dr. Kevin O’Connor explaining Dr. Kevin Cannard’s visits to Biden. Given that the White House is secretive, I doubt this letter will quell concerns about whether the president has the disease.

"Second, Dr. Tom Pitts, a neurologist, was interviewed by MSNBC’s Tom Llamas this morning, where he pretty much said that the president has the hallmark early symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. Pitts is also a self-identified Democrat and voiced his frustration over the White House’s handling of Biden’s declining health, likening it to a Soviet-style cover-up.

Joe Biden Is A Good Man? Please Don’t Insult Our Intelligence

Joe Biden is not a good man and the many who have claimed he is know better.

God help us if this unprincipled man who has served only himself and his family is reelected in November.

"The talking points must have gone out within minutes of the end of President Joe Biden’s lame debate performance. Among the first to tell us just how fine a man Biden was Barack Obama, who called his former vice president “someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life.” It is, of course, a lie. Biden is not a good man, and the idea he’s “fought for ordinary folks” for even a single day of his “public service” is risible.

"Obama’s tweet also claimed that Biden is the candidate “who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight.”  From there, the gaslighting grew exponentially worse.

"At a July 2 fundraiser in Virginia, Democratic Rep. Don Beyer, whom Biden once called “Doug,” compared our disabled president to Jesus.

• They “display the classic lying behaviors, such as avoiding eye contact, breaking out into a sweat, and tripping over their words or rambling.”
