Jill Biden exposes Democrats’ secret plan on live television

It is no secret that the Democrats are up to something. But no one expected them to show the world.

But now, Jill Biden has exposed the Democrats’ secret plan on live TV.

First Lady Jill Biden took center stage on ABC’s “The View,” using her appearance to fan the flames of fear over what might happen if her husband, President Joe Biden, were to lose his re-election bid in November.

The visit highlighted the left’s ongoing anxiety about a potential return of former President Donald Trump to the White House.

Cohost Joy Behar initiated the discussion by dismissing concerns about President Biden’s competency, echoing a familiar defense from the left.

Behar praised Biden, asserting that he was “right on top of it” and “alert” when they met, pushing back against claims that the President is not fit to continue in office.

Jill Biden, echoing Behar’s sentiments, defended her husband’s physical and mental fitness, noting that he works out daily.

She countered the criticism of his age by pointing out that Trump, nearly the same age as Biden, does not face the same scrutiny despite some public figures, like comedian Bill Maher, suggesting that Trump presents as much younger than Biden.

Behar, known for her disdain for Trump, took a jab at the former president, describing him as “doddering” and incapable of forming coherent sentences. This comment drew laughter from the audience and highlighted the left’s continuing effort to undermine Trump’s credibility.

The discussion then turned to the importance of debates. Cohost Sara Haines emphasized their significance, suggesting that guardrails should be in place to manage Trump’s conduct.

Notably absent from her remarks was any acknowledgment of the fact that during the first 2020 presidential debate, Biden was the first to interrupt and engage in name-calling, setting a combative tone for the encounter.

The First Lady’s most striking comments came as she expressed deep concerns about the potential implications of a Trump victory, particularly regarding the Supreme Court.

She warned of dire consequences if Trump were able to appoint another justice, reflecting the Democratic Party’s fear of a conservative-majority court reshaping the country’s legal landscape.

“Can you imagine if we put any more Republicans on the Supreme Court?” Biden asked with palpable alarm. “No! We will lose all of our rights! So we’re talking about women’s rights, gay rights … we will lose all our rights and freedoms.”

Her remarks underscore a broader strategy by Democrats to use fear as a tool to rally their base.

The message is clear: a Trump victory would spell disaster for progressive causes and roll back rights that the left holds dear.

This rhetoric is designed to energize Democratic voters by painting a picture of an America on the brink of losing fundamental freedoms if Republicans gain more power.

However, this strategy also reveals a significant weakness. By focusing on fear and negativity, the Biden campaign risks alienating moderate voters who are tired of the hyper-partisan atmosphere and are looking for a positive vision for the future.

Instead of offering concrete solutions to pressing issues like inflation, crime, and border security, the campaign appears to be doubling down on the narrative that a Trump presidency is the ultimate threat to American democracy.

This fear-mongering approach is a diversion from the administration’s failures.

Under Biden’s leadership, the country has faced numerous challenges, from a botched withdrawal from Afghanistan to rising crime rates in major cities, to a border crisis that shows no signs of abating.

Shocking Democrat betrayal has shattered Biden’s chances

The Radical Left knows that Joe Biden’s White House chances are slim. And they cannot afford to lose any support.

But now, a shocking Democrat betrayal has shattered Biden’s chances.

In a surprising development, President Joe Biden will not have the backing of a key Democrat official in a critical Michigan battleground county as he campaigns for reelection.

This underscores the growing problems Biden faces within his own party just six months before the 2024 presidential election.

Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel, a prominent Democrat in Michigan, revealed to Detroit News columnist Noal Finley on Monday that he does not intend to vote in the upcoming presidential election.

Hackel expressed his dissatisfaction with both Biden and former President Donald Trump, saying he cannot support either candidate.

“I don’t have an interest in voting for president, and I feel disappointed by that,” Hackel stated. “I dislike both candidates. All they do is talk negatively about each other, instead of talking about themselves and their ideas.”

Hackel made it clear that he would not campaign for Biden, leaving the decision to the voters of Macomb County.

“I won’t work for him. I’ll let the people of Macomb make their own choice. I’m not voting for anyone just because a political party tells me I have to,” he added.

This revelation from Hackel is particularly concerning for the Biden campaign.

Democrat consultant Adolph Mongo told Finley that Hackel’s decision “hurts Biden” and means “Democrats will have to put a lot more resources” into Macomb County.

Mongo noted Hackel’s moderate stance as a reason for his lack of support for either major party candidate.

Macomb County, located in the southeastern part of Michigan, is the state’s third-largest county by population, with close to 900,000 residents.

It has been a pivotal region in recent elections, with the presidential candidate winning the county in three of the last four elections also winning the state and the White House.

In 2016, Trump won Macomb County by double digits, after former President Barack Obama had secured it in 2008 and 2012 by margins of 8.6 percent and 4 percent, respectively.

However, in 2020, despite Trump carrying the county by eight points, Biden won the state and the electoral college.

Hackel’s refusal to support Biden comes amid increasing dissatisfaction among Democrat voters in Michigan and other critical states. The “uncommitted” movement, which began with the Listen to Michigan campaign, reflects growing discontent with Biden’s handling of key issues like the Israel-Hamas conflict.

This movement has seen over 500,000 Democratic primary voters nationally cast protest votes against Biden, with more than 100,000 of these coming from Michigan alone.

This significant number of uncommitted votes poses a considerable threat to Biden’s reelection prospects.

For context, the 101,430 uncommitted votes in Michigan are approaching the 154,188-vote margin that separated Trump and Biden in the state in 2020.

The potential for these uncommitted voters to stay home in the general election could severely impact Biden’s chances in crucial swing states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

Adding to Biden’s challenges, a Muslim activist group called Abandon Biden has been organizing efforts in Michigan and eight other swing states to prevent Biden from securing a second term.

This group is driven by what they describe as Biden’s enabling of mass civilian casualties in Gaza, reflecting broader dissatisfaction with his foreign policy among certain voter blocs.

The Biden administration faces mounting pressure to address these internal party fractures and regain the support of disillusioned Democrats.

The upcoming months will be critical as the president attempts to unify his base and present a compelling case for his reelection amidst growing dissent and dissatisfaction.

Trump prosecutor sued over attacks on Americans

The Left claims that the DOJ has not been weaponized against Americans. But the facts show otherwise.

And now a top trump prosecutor has been sued for attacking Americans.

New York Attorney General Letitia James faces a new legal challenge this month as she is being sued for her aggressive targeting of pro-life organizations in the state.

The lawsuit, brought forth by the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA), Gianna’s House, and Options Care Center, accuses James of violating the First Amendment through her legal actions against 11 crisis pregnancy centers and Heartbeat International. These pro-life groups are represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).

The crux of the lawsuit revolves around James’ ongoing efforts to suppress the dissemination of information regarding the Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) protocol, which pro-life advocates argue is a critical option for women who regret initiating a chemical abortion.

“Many women regret their abortions, and some seek to stop the effects of chemical abortion drugs before taking the second drug in the abortion drug process. Taking supplemental progesterone at that time can often save their baby’s life,” said ADF Legal Counsel Gabriella McIntyre.

“The New York attorney general, however, is doing everything she can to deny women the freedom to make that choice.”

James’ legal actions target a dozen pro-life ministries over their support and promotion of the APR protocol.

This protocol involves administering a prescribed dose of bioidentical progesterone to potentially counteract the effects of mifepristone, the first drug in the abortion pill regimen, thereby saving the unborn child if a woman decides to continue her pregnancy.

Pro-life groups argue that this method is a vital lifeline for women who have second thoughts after starting a chemical abortion.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, highlights the story of a woman who was able to save her baby thanks to the APR protocol after beginning an abortion.

The complaint asserts that despite James’ claims of supporting women’s choice, her actions effectively deprive women of the opportunity to reverse their decision and continue their pregnancies.

“Despite saying that she supports women’s choice, the Attorney General seeks to deprive women who change their mind and want to continue their pregnancies, or who are coerced or tricked into a chemical abortion, of truthful information about progesterone treatment, a safe option that has been used by obstetrician-gynecologists to help maintain pregnancies for decades,” the lawsuit states.

The suit demands that James be barred from applying New York business law in a way that targets pro-life groups advocating for the APR protocol.

“New York is intentionally denying women the freedom to continue their pregnancies by censoring those who promote it. They are forcing women to follow through with an abortion—even if they don’t want to,” said Thomas Glessner, president and founder of NIFLA.

“How does it even remotely make sense to trust women with their medical decisions if you are actively trying to hide scientifically-based information from them? It makes no sense, nor is it legal.”

This lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal and political battles that have ensued since the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

In the aftermath of this landmark ruling, pregnancy centers across the nation have faced increased scrutiny and attacks from Democrat lawmakers and pro-abortion activists.

Attorney General Letitia James has been particularly vocal and active in her efforts to clamp down on pro-life organizations, arguing that they engage in deceptive practices.

However, many people argue that her actions amount to a politically motivated crusade against groups that provide vital services and information to women in crisis.

James’ aggressive stance against pro-life groups raises significant concerns about the suppression of free speech and the right of organizations to provide alternative information and support to women.

The Biden White House got caught selling secrets and now all hell is breaking loose

0

The D.C. Swamp runs deeper than you could ever imagine. And next to no one cares about this country.

Now the Biden White House got caught selling secrets and all hell is breaking loose.

The problem with Washington is that it doesn’t matter what you do, it’s who you know.

You could commit terrible crimes, but if you’re part of the “in crowd,” then you’re good to go.

This is blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain, but sometimes lower level bureaucrats think they’re untouchable.

What they don’t realize is their superiors are willing to sacrifice them on the altar to cover their own tracks.

And one Biden lackey is learning that the hard way.

A congressional investigation into President Biden’s suspended special envoy to Iran, Robert Malley, has turned up evidence that the State Department official may have communicated sensitive information with others outside the U.S. government.

According to people briefed on the investigation, Malley, who was quietly placed on unpaid leave in June and had his security clearance suspended two months prior, shared sensitive documents with allies in order to “advance his diplomatic efforts” in Tehran.

According to the publication, Republican legislators have uncovered that Malley downloaded approximately a dozen papers, including some marked “sensitive” and “classified,” to his personal devices while leading the Biden administration’s diplomatic relations with the U.S. foe.

The records apparently included “detailed notes” of his interactions with Iranian officials in the months leading up to his suspension, as well as information about the U.S. government’s response to the 2022 Mahsa Amini demonstrations in Iran.

Earlier this month, the top Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs committees pressed the State Department to confirm “troubling allegations” that Malley kept classified information on his personal email account and cellphone, which was later accessed by a “hostile cyber actor.”

“Specifically, we understand that Mr. Malley’s security clearance was suspended because he allegedly transferred classified documents to his personal email account and downloaded these documents to his personal cell phone,” Senate Foreign Relations Committee ranking member James Risch (R-Idaho) and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) wrote in a May 6 letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

“It is unclear to whom he intended to provide these documents, but it is believed that a hostile cyber actor was able to gain access to his email and/or phone and obtain the downloaded information,” the legislators stated at the time.

A State agency official told The Post at the time that Malley is still on leave and that the agency has provided Congress with information on personnel inquiries about Iran policy, but declined to comment on the particular charges made by Risch and McCaul.

In 2015, the FBI launched a criminal investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for similar actions to the claims against Malley.

Clinton was discovered to have stored tens of thousands of emails from her time at the State Department on various unsecured private servers, including 81 email chains that discussed classified information and seven that referred to classified material determined to be Top Secret/Special Access Program level.

The FBI concluded that Clinton was “extremely careless” and that hostile actors may have gotten access to her personal email account, but she was not charged with a crime.

Malley is currently being investigated by the FBI, according to McCaul and Risch.

The FBI and State Department did not immediately return requests for comment.

Donald Trump secured an election win that is utterly groundbreaking and blowing minds

Former President Trump has been on the ground working hard for the 2024 election. The results are showing.

Because Trump just secured an election win that no one thought was possible and it’s mind-blowing.

The Democrat Party has been very successful at convincing many minority voters that anyone who runs as a Republican simply isn’t worth considering voting for. It’s a brainwashing that has been stuck in the minds of some voting blocs for decades now, with little deviation.

The black vote, in particular, has been overwhelmingly in favor of Democrats every single election season. There’s simply no doubt that the Democrat running for president is going to win the black vote simply because they have a “D” next to their name on the ballot. What’s crazy is that the Democrats don’t even act like they have to try for the black vote at all.

Who can forget when Joe Biden made one of the most racist comments ever by telling a black man on his own show that he wasn’t black if he was still considering voting for Donald Trump in 2020.

However, in 2020, we did see a small but significant shift in Donald Trump’s favor amongst the black voting bloc. Donald Trump performed better than any Republican in decades with the black vote, and it showed a chink in the armor of the Democrats.

Well now that chink in the armor is turning into a giant gaping hole that has thrown the election cycle into total chaos. The success Donald Trump is enjoying in early surveys with likely black voters is astounding. It’s so significant, even CNN is sounding the alarm about how bad this is for Democrats.

CNN hosts Brianna Keilar and Boris Sanchez were visibly taken aback on Wednesday when their network’s senior data reporter, Harry Enten, presented striking poll results showing a significant shift in black voter support from President Joe Biden to former President Donald Trump.

A recent New York Times/Siena College poll revealed that Trump has significantly reduced his deficit with Biden among black Americans. The poll indicates that Biden leads Trump 70% to 18% among black voters. Enten emphasized the unusual nature of this trend, noting its potential electoral significance. Keilar and Sanchez, sharing in Enten’s surprise, discussed the implications of these numbers.

“Take a look at the numbers now and compare it to where we were four years ago at this particular point among black voters and we see a clear decline in support,” Enten explained. “At this point, Joe Biden is just getting 70% of the black vote. Four years ago at this point, he was at 81%. Look at that doubling of support for Donald Trump, from 10% up to 21%. Boris, Brianna, if that held through the election, it would be the best performance for a Republican presidential candidate among black voters in 64 years, since Richard Nixon back in 1960.”

The poll also shows Biden leading Trump by a narrow margin among Hispanic voters, with figures standing at 47% to 42%.

“Now, if you want to break down the black electorate and figure out where exactly the declining support for Joe Biden is coming from, take a look at this age breakdown,” Enten continued. “Black voters aged 50 and over are still overwhelmingly supporting Joe Biden at 85% to 8%. But among black voters under the age of 50, Donald Trump is getting 27% support, while Joe Biden is at 64%.”

Keilar responded, “Yeah, that is huge, that number there. What kind of impact are we talking about? What kind of impact could this have on the election, Harry?”

Enten outlined the potential consequences on the Electoral College. “Obviously those are national polls, but let’s say that we funneled this down to the state level, right. This declining level of support among black voters for Joe Biden, what type of damage would that do to him in the Electoral College? Well, if you just took that into account and didn’t shift any other voters, take a look here,” Enten said. “In 2020, based upon the current apportionment, Joe Biden would win 303 electoral votes to Donald Trump’s 235. But take into account that shift among black voters. Now, with just this shift among black voters, Donald Trump wins in the Electoral College, 291 electoral votes to 247.”

Enten further highlighted Trump’s lead in key sun belt states, which could prove disastrous for Biden’s reelection chances. Trump is ahead by 13% in Nevada, 9% in Georgia, and 6% in Arizona, according to the NYT/Siena survey.

“Why is that? Take a look at the states that shift,” Enten continued. “You would see that the states that shift are Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania … and Wisconsin. That alone would do it. And that is why black voters are so pivotal to Joe Biden’s chances to win re-election.”

Sanchez summarized the gravity of the situation, stating, “Harry Enten, alarms going off on the Democratic side, a big opening for Republicans. That is an alarm right there, Harry Enten.”

“It’s a huge alarm,” Enten agreed. “It’s spiraling. It’s ambulance, it’s police sirens, it’s any alarm you can think of that should be what’s going off on the Democratic side. These numbers, to be honest, could be deadly to Joe Biden’s campaign.”

As the 2024 election approaches, the shift in black voter support could significantly alter the political landscape, with both parties keenly aware of the high stakes involved.

U.S. Supreme Court’s next major decision has Joe Biden on pins and needles

The Biden administration is intoxicated with power. But they’re about to learn a stark lesson.

Because the U.S. Supreme Court’s next big decision has President Biden on pins and needles.

The Biden administration is actively challenging Republican-led states over their immigration laws, arguing these measures are unconstitutional as they encroach on federal authority. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed lawsuits against Texas, Iowa, and Oklahoma for enacting laws that empower local police to enforce immigration rules. These states claim they are responding to an unprecedented border crisis, accusing the federal government of failing to enforce immigration laws adequately.

Texas, Iowa, and Oklahoma have each passed legislation that makes it a state crime to be an illegal immigrant. Texas Senate Bill 4 (SB4), Iowa Senate File 2340, and Oklahoma House Bill 4156 grant law enforcement the authority to arrest illegal immigrants and impose penalties for unlawful presence.

These measures reflect the states’ attempts to protect themselves, as explained by Matt Crapo, a senior attorney with the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI). “Due to the abdication of this administration’s duty to enforce the law, states are trying to protect themselves,” Crapo shared with reporters. “They are trying to do so by mirroring federal law, enforcing the same type of laws if this administration was enforcing the law.”

The Biden administration contends that these state laws are unconstitutional, asserting that immigration enforcement is a federal prerogative. The legality of these state measures may ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court, with Texas’s SB4 likely to be the first to reach the nation’s highest court.

IRLI has filed an amicus brief in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals supporting Texas SB4. Crapo mentioned that his organization plans to file similar briefs for the Iowa and Oklahoma laws once those states challenge the preliminary injunctions imposed by federal courts. The brief argues that SB4 “parallels” federal immigration laws without interfering with federal authority over immigration.

However, not all legal experts agree with this interpretation. “SB4 is cruel, inhumane, and clearly unconstitutional,” Kate Melloy Goettel, senior legal director at the American Immigration Council, stated in March.

“All these bills could result in significant civil rights abuses, leading to widespread arrests and deportations by state actors without key federal protections.” Goettel expressed hope that SB4 would be blocked in court to prevent setting a “disastrous precedent.”

The outcome of these legal battles remains uncertain. Art Arthur of the Center for Immigration Studies highlighted the unique aspects of the Texas case compared to a 2010 Arizona law that was largely struck down by the Supreme Court. “It’s sort of an open question as to whether the Supreme Court is going to allow Texas to criminalize illegal entry into Texas,” Arthur noted, emphasizing Texas’ argument that trespassing is fundamentally a state crime.

Arthur also pointed out that Texas’ legislation is different from the Iowa and Oklahoma laws, which could lead to varied judicial outcomes. He suggested that the Supreme Court’s decision on SB4 would provide significant insight into the viability of other state laws. According to Arthur, the passage of these state laws reflects genuine concerns rather than political maneuvers, underscoring a perceived failure by the Biden administration to enforce immigration laws.

“Texas’ argument is ‘look, the federal government doesn’t completely occupy the field with respect to this crime because trespassing is an essential state crime and this is basically a trespassing offense,’” Art Arthur shared with reporters.

Illegal immigration has surged to historic levels, with Border Patrol agents reporting over 1,171,000 encounters with illegal immigrants this fiscal year alone. Since President Joe Biden took office, there have been more than six million such encounters. High-profile crimes committed by illegal immigrants, such as the killing of a Georgia nursing student and the attempted breach of the Quantico Marine Base, have further intensified the debate.

Amid these challenges, Republican state leaders feel compelled to take action. Louisiana state senator Valarie Hodges, sponsor of Senate Bill 388, which would make illegal entry a state crime, stated, “The Biden administration refuses to do their job, so we need to do it.” Her bill proposes penalties of up to one year in prison and a $4,000 fine for the first offense, and up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine for a second offense.

Despite the prospect of legal challenges, Hodges remains resolute. “When the federal government won’t do their job, what course do we have? We’re going to collapse if we don’t do something. I believe we are within our constitutional boundaries to do this.” She added, “Maybe we should sue them for not doing their job.”

The ongoing legal battles between the Biden administration and Republican-led states over immigration enforcement laws reflect a deep divide over how best to address the crisis at the U.S. border. The Supreme Court’s eventual rulings on these cases will have far-reaching implications for the balance of power between federal and state authorities in immigration enforcement.

So even if Joe Biden is somehow able to hold on to his position in the Oval Office for a second term, he could be looking at starting off with a huge policy loss should the conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court bench rule his harassment of Republican states to be unconstitutional.

Hunter Biden was blindsided after Joe handed him this big time surprise

0

The Hunter Biden saga has been one for the history books. The extent of the corruption runs deep.

And now Hunter Biden was blindsided after Joe handed him this big time surprise.

Americans have been hearing about the first son’s sordid escapades for years now.

Whether it was back during the 2020 election when the New York Post had exclusive access to Hunter’s laptop, only to be censored by social media.

Or photos leaking of him driving recklessly while doing drugs, the details just keep getting worse.

Of course, the potential corruption and bribery implicating his father Joe Biden is terrible, but it’s not what will likely send him to prison.

And now President Biden is pulling out all of the stops to keep him from ending up behind bars.

President Joe Biden paid a visit to Hallie Biden, Beau Biden’s ex-wife and Hunter Biden’s former girlfriend, before she is expected to testify in Hunter’s gun trial, according to the White House press pool on Sunday.

The White House stated that Joe Biden’s visit with his daughter-in-law had nothing to do with Hunter’s imminent firearms trial.

It said that the visit was to celebrate the ninth anniversary of Beau’s death from cancer.

Hallie is anticipated to appear as a witness in Hunter’s firearms trial. According to a 2018 police complaint, she threw Hunter’s gun into a dumpster behind a grocer.

Jury selection in Hunter’s firearms trial is scheduled for June 3.

Hunter refused to accept a plea deal proposed by prosecutors in the case in July, after negotiations broke down due to Judge Maryellen Noreika’s review of a “diversion agreement.”

The original “sweetheart” plea arrangement allowed Hunter to plead guilty to evading paying taxes on more than $1.5 million in income in 2017 and 2018, receiving probation rather than jail time.

In addition, Special Counsel David Weiss drafted a second diversion agreement that granted Hunter immunity from potential future prosecutions, as well as a provision that may potentially erase a felony gun violation from his record.

Weiss charged Hunter Biden with one count of making a false statement during the purchase of a firearm, one count of possessing a firearm while an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and one count of making a false statement about information required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer.

Weiss eventually charged Hunter with tax evasion in California.

The case is United States v. Hunter Biden, No. 24-1703, before the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

White House’s shocking remarks leave Americans wondering about Biden’s future

Joe Biden is not fit to serve as President of the United States. And it seems that even his supporters understand that.

Because the White House’s shocking remarks leave Americans wondering about Biden’s future.

In a heated exchange on Tuesday, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy pressed White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on whether the Biden administration is panicking over President Joe Biden’s re-election prospects.

This comes in the wake of a POLITICO article indicating significant anxiety within the Democratic Party about Biden’s chances in 2024.

The POLITICO article, titled “Dems in full-blown ‘freakout’ over Biden,” highlighted the growing concerns among Democrats.

It noted, “One adviser to major Democratic donors keeps a running list of reasons Biden could lose,” reflecting the pervasive fear within the party’s highest ranks.

The article suggested that despite previous confidence, many Democratic officeholders and strategists are now deeply worried about the upcoming election battle with former President Donald Trump.

Doocy’s question to Jean-Pierre was direct: “Are you guys here at the White House in full-blown freak-out mode?”

Jean-Pierre, appearing taken aback and feigning ignorance of the POLITICO article, responded, “What are you talking about? What are you talking about?”

“There’s a — there’s a —” Doocy began, before Jean-Pierre cut him off, “Peter —”

Doocy continued, “— POLITICO story. It sounds like Democrats, outside —” he persisted, quoting the article that cited Biden’s persistently poor polling and the high stakes of the election as sources of Democratic “freakout,” according to a Democratic operative.

Jean-Pierre dodged the question, saying, “So again, I’m really mindful — I’m not going to comment on 2024 election,” and pivoted to discussing Biden’s empathy for the American people, stating, “I will say this — uh — the President has never forgotten where he comes — where he came from, who he is. He understands what the American people are going through as they’re sitting around the kitchen table.”

The POLITICO article painted a grim picture for Biden’s re-election campaign.

It noted that a “pervasive sense of fear has settled in at the highest levels of the Democratic Party over President Joe Biden’s reelection prospects, even among officeholders and strategists who had previously expressed confidence about the coming battle with Donald Trump. … nearly five months from the election, anxiety has morphed into palpable trepidation, according to more than a dozen party leaders and operatives. And the gap between what Democrats will say on TV or in print, and what they’ll text their friends, has only grown as worries have surged about Biden’s prospects.”

This anxiety is compounded by the fact that former President Trump, despite numerous legal battles and controversies, is leading Biden in most battleground states.

The article highlighted that Trump raised significantly more money in April, and the landscape for Democrats may worsen with Trump’s legal issues potentially resolving favorably and Hunter Biden’s trial set to begin in Delaware.

The POLITICO report also revealed that a Democratic adviser to major party donors has compiled a list of nearly two dozen reasons why Biden could lose.

The adviser bleakly remarked, “The list of why we ‘could’ win is so small I don’t even need to keep the list on my phone.”

As Biden’s approval ratings continue to struggle and concerns about his age and cognitive abilities persist, the Democratic Party faces a significant challenge.

The party’s internal conflicts and external pressures are becoming increasingly visible, leading to a lack of confidence among its ranks.

Threat against Trump in NY has Americans shocked and worried

The Radical Left is doing everything they can to hinder Trump. But they have crossed the line with recent developments.

And a threat against Trump in NY has Americans shocked and worried.

As the high-stakes New York trial against former President Donald Trump approaches its verdict, preparations are being made for an unprecedented scenario.

According to reports, Trump’s Secret Service detail has met with local jail officials to discuss potential arrangements if the former president is sentenced to prison.

This preparation underscores the gravity of the situation, given Trump’s status as a former president entitled to lifelong Secret Service protection.

A CBS News report cites a New York corrections source confirming that Secret Service agents have been in discussions with local New York corrections officials.

The complexity of potentially incarcerating a former president necessitates meticulous planning, as Trump’s Secret Service protection would need to be maintained even behind bars.

This unprecedented scenario poses significant logistical and security challenges.

During a May 6 hearing, Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the case, expressed concerns about the implications of such a sanction.

“I worry about the people who would have to execute that sanction: the court officers, the correction officers, the Secret Service detail, among others,” Merchan stated.

This acknowledgment highlights the extraordinary nature of the case and the potential fallout from a prison sentence for Trump.

While the prospect of Trump serving jail time remains uncertain, the judge has previously threatened incarceration over violations of a gag order placed on Trump.

The unprecedented nature of sentencing a former president complicates potential outcomes.

Former Manhattan prosecutor Duncan Levin suggested that Merchan could opt for a less severe sentence, such as home confinement and probation, allowing Trump to maintain some level of public engagement, including access to social media and the ability to conduct interviews.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has assured the public that the city is prepared for any outcome. “Our amazing commissioner is prepared for whatever comes on Rikers Island,” Adams stated.

He emphasized that the Department of Corrections is equipped to handle even the most unusual situations, citing the example of handling high-profile inmates like Harvey Weinstein. “In this business, particularly around law enforcement, we have to adjust to whatever comes our way,” Adams added.

The case, brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, charges Trump with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

These charges stem from actions taken in 2016, which under normal circumstances would be classified as misdemeanors and subject to the statute of limitations.

However, Bragg elevated the charges to felonies by alleging that the falsifications were connected to another crime.

In a controversial decision, Judge Merchan ruled that the jury does not need to agree on what the other crime was, only that another crime was committed in conjunction with the falsified records charges.

This ruling has sparked significant debate and concern. Critics argue that it sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the principle of specific and clear charges in criminal cases.

As the trial nears its conclusion, the nation awaits the verdict with bated breath.

The outcome could set a historic precedent and will undoubtedly be a defining moment in the ongoing saga of Donald Trump’s legal battles.

Regardless of the verdict, the case has already highlighted significant challenges and questions about the intersection of law, politics, and the unprecedented situation of prosecuting a former president.

Donald Trump election announcement is exploding heads at the White House

0

There’s no underestimating how critical the next election will be. Everything is on the table.

But former President Trump has made an election announcement that has the White House losing their minds.

The state of Virginia has suddenly turned into a battleground state that is reliably purple and could go anyway. No one really thought Virginia’s sitting Governor Glenn Youngkin (R) was going to win against the heavy favorite Terry McAuliffe (D). His win just highlighted how unpredictable Virginia can be.

At one point it used to be reliably red. Virginia wasn’t nearly as infected by the Washington, D.C. bureaucracy as it is today. The federal government’s expansion has been bleeding deeper and deeper into the south of Virginia, to the point that there’s individuals who will commute from the most southern regions of Virginia, like Newport News and Virginia Beach, to the Fairfax area for a federal government desk job.

This has happened because the Democrat Party has specifically targeted Virginia to flip it deep blue. There have been leaked presentation slides from the DNC that lay out the plans the Democrats have to turn Virginia into California. They believe if they can make a formerly deep red state like Virginia into deep blue, they can do it anywhere.

So all eyes are on what happens in Virginia this election cycle. Every single Republican in the state has to be on edge and prepared to fight for their Congressional seat, even if they’ve previously won races by double digits.

An example of this is Bob Good (R-VA-5), who won his election to the U.S. House of Representatives back in 2022 by about fifteen points. Democrats have been circling around this seat, however, trying to get it to flip. Reports indicate that Democrats are spending millions upon millions to target any potential vulnerability on the part of the Republicans in Virginia.

Donald Trump is aware of this and is considering this as an opportunity to potentially take out Mr. Bob Good of Virginia’s Fifth Congressional District and install a stronger America First conservative in Congress in his stead.

This week, Donald Trump announced that he was endorsing the primary opponent of Bob Good, Mr. John McGuire, saying that McGuire has his “complete” and “total” endorsement for the 2024 election in Virginia’s Fifth Congressional District.

Donald Trump in his announcement said that Bob Good is “bad” for Virginia and the United States, saying that Good has turned his back on the America First “movement.” He even implied that Good has been two-faced in his time in Congress thus far. Mr. Trump said that Mr. Good’s endorsement of Trump for the presidential election is “too little too late” to save him from a tough primary race.

“Bob Good is BAD FOR VIRGINIA, AND BAD FOR THE USA. He turned his back on our incredible movement, and was constantly attacking and fighting me until recently, when he gave a warm and ‘loving’ Endorsement – But really, it was too late. The damage had been done!” Donald Trump shared on his Truth Social account.

Former President Donald Trump argues that John McGuire is the man for the job as he is a Navy Seal and current Virginia State Legislator who honestly has the interests of America at heart and not the interests of the political game being played in Washington, D.C.

“I just want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and the person that can most help me do that is Navy Seal and highly respected State Legislator, John McGuire, a true American Hero. John, who fought the Cartels on the Front Line, and then came home and fought the drug dealers in Virginia, will ALWAYS PUT AMERICA FIRST,” Trump added in his post.

Furthermore, he said McGuire will work better with a second Trump administration than Bob Good will, highlighting the success that the first Donald Trump administration had when Republicans were willing to work with him on critical issues like border security and crime.

“I had the safest Border in history, built hundreds of miles of Wall, and then Crooked Joe Biden came along and ruined it, making it one of the worst human catastrophes ever in our Country. John and I will correct this situation, and fast! He is strong on crime, will protect our great Military/Vets, and will always defend our under siege Second Amendment. John McGuire has my Complete and Total Endorsement! MAGA2024,” Trump finished in his post.

Interestingly, Donald Trump may be looking at the efforts of the Democrats in Virginia and considering if he can use them to his advantage to prop up strong America First conservatives who may be attractive for Virginia voters. That could be at the heart of this endorsement of the primary challenger of Bob Good.

Bob Good has been on Trump’s bad side for a few reasons. Firstly, Congressman Good is one of the eight Republicans who voted to oust Mr. McCarthy as the Speaker of the House, which has led to chaos for the Republican leadership in the lower chamber of Congress. Donald Trump has been extremely critical of the Republican Party for mishandling the House of Representatives’ leadership in recent years.

Secondly, Mr. Bob Good also called the cops on a Trump rally because he was kicked out of the event that was being held in Farmville, Virginia. Not exactly something that happens to an ardent Trump supporter.

As for the polls of the race, it seems Bob Good is up against it as McGuire is up by as many as a dozen points or so, depending on the pollster you ask.

The U.S. military is scrambling after Biden was forced to make this sudden move

0

President Biden has sent the world crashing down in flames. Now he’s having to make some tough decisions.

And the U.S. military is scrambling after Biden was forced to make this sudden move.

The U.S. Department of Defense announced on Tuesday that it had to cease the use of President Joe Biden’s $320 million pier in Gaza due to structural failure.

Sabrina Singh, the Pentagon’s deputy press secretary, stated at a news briefing that the pier was “damaged, and sections of the pier need rebuilding and repairing.”

She blamed the failure of the controversial project on “a perfect storm of high sea states” and “this North African weather system also came in at the same time.”

The U.S. military will remove the pier from Gaza and send it to Israel for repair and reconstruction, which is estimated to take at least a week.

“I believe most of our soldiers were able to remain on the vessels and still are currently on them,” Singh claimed at the press conference.

“And … within the next 24 or 48 hours, the Israeli Navy will be helping push those vessels back and hopefully they’ll be fully operational by then.”

On Monday, video emerged of the pier sinking, with a man speaking Hebrew laughing at Biden’s “sinking.”

“It’s simply disconnected and practically swamped,” the man said, according to NBC News.

The announcement comes after two U.S. military vessels ran ashore in Gaza near the pier, while two others washed up on Israeli beaches near Ashkelon over the weekend.

“Efforts to recover the vessels are under way with assistance from the Israeli Navy,” U.S. Central Command said in a statement.

“The IDF is supporting the recovery efforts near the pier. No U.S. personnel will enter Gaza. No injuries have been reported and the pier remains fully functional.”

The pier has mostly disappointed the administration, which deployed a thousand U.S. service members to open it.

After a week of efforts, just 820 tons of supplies were unloaded from the pier. Approximately one-third of that aid was hijacked and stolen.

Three U.S. service members were injured last week during an operation to transport humanitarian aid into Gaza.

“On May 23, a U.S. service member sustained a non-combat related injury aboard USNS Benavidez (T-AKR 306) while in support of the humanitarian aid mission to Gaza,” a U.S. defense official said.

“The service member was transported to a medical facility and is in critical condition at this time. More information will be provided as it becomes available.”

The other two injured service personnel reportedly suffered minor injuries.

Biden’s shocking Trump trial lies have turned the nation against him

Since the weaponization of the justice system by the Biden administration, Americans have been worried. But now, they are more than worried… they are scared.

And Biden’s shocking Trump trial lies have turned the nation against him.

The Biden White House and the Biden-Harris campaign have consistently stated that the criminal trials against former President Donald Trump are not political and do not represent a weaponization of the Department of Justice (DOJ). They maintain that the DOJ operates independently.

However, on Tuesday, the Biden campaign staged a conspicuous political event outside the New York City courthouse where Trump has been facing charges of falsification of business records.

Speaking to the press, campaign communications director Michael Taylor attempted to deflect attention from the courthouse proceedings, stating, “First of all, let me say this first and foremost, we’re not here today because of what’s going on over there,” while motioning towards the courthouse.

“We’re here today because you all are here.” He then introduced Biden campaigners, including actor Robert De Niro and two Capitol Police officers who were on duty on January 6, 2021.

Taylor then targeted Biden’s chief political opponent, Donald Trump, who currently leads Biden in many swing state polls.

Taylor suggested that Trump was “somewhere fighting for himself,” labeling him an “unhinged, power-hungry, self-centered man” who “rambles.”

He further insinuated that Trump might not “show up” for the upcoming debate, casting doubt on his willingness to confront Biden directly.

When questioned about the independence of the DOJ in its pursuit of criminal cases against Trump, the White House reiterated that President Biden had restored “integrity” to the DOJ by appointing Merrick Garland as Attorney General.

However, a report from The New York Times suggested that Biden had instructed Garland to prosecute Trump, raising concerns about the impartiality of these proceedings.

Despite these allegations, the White House continued to assert that there was no political motivation behind Trump’s prosecution.

The White House press secretary maintained that “It would not be appropriate for us to comment on any ongoing investigations.”

However, this stance did not prevent the Biden campaign from holding a politically charged event outside the courthouse where Trump’s trial was taking place. This move has raised eyebrows and fueled speculation about the campaign’s true intentions.

Tyler justified the campaign’s decision to stage the event by emphasizing the perceived threat Trump poses to the nation and to “democracy.”

He acknowledged concerns that such an event might suggest the Biden campaign and administration have a vested interest in securing a conviction against Trump.

Although the jury has been instructed to avoid media coverage of the case, they have not been sequestered, heightening concerns about potential bias.

Biden spokesperson Tyler reiterated the campaign’s stance, stating that the event was necessary due to the threat Trump poses.

He addressed the optics of staging a campaign event outside Trump’s trial, acknowledging that it could give the appearance of a conflict of interest.

However, the Left continues to make the Trump trial about politics, and they continue to weaponize the justice system against anyone who disagrees politically with them.
