Biden corruption informant reportedly goes missing​

(Excerpt)

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., confirmed GOP officials still could not "track down" the key witness as of Monday morning, telling FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo that the federal agencies such as the FBI and DOJ have "turned a blind eye" to both the missing informant and the Biden family's alleged corruption.

"The telling thing about this is that our Federal Bureau of Investigation and our Justice Department have basically just turned a blind eye to all of this and now it's come down to the point where speaker McCarthy has to have a one-on-one meeting with Director Wray over the way that they've handled this and bungled this thing from the start," the Oversight Committee member and Foreign Affairs Committee member said on "Mornings with Maria."

What IS Joe on? 11,000 migrants a day, minors dead, terrorist arrested - and freewheeling, vacationing Biden thinks the border crisis is funny. Well, the joke's on us, America​

President Joe Biden thinks America's migrant crisis is one big joke.

When asked by reporters on Sunday how 'things were going' on the U.S. Southern border, he just grinned and laughed.

'Much better than you all expected,' he scolded a scrum of journalists waiting on the side of a Rehoboth Beach, Delaware bike path.

Then, he chuckled.

Sorry, I don't get it.

Just a few days ago, up to 11,000 migrant men, women and children were fighting and clawing their way into America on a daily basis. And that's not even counting the number of migrants who got in illegally.

In just the last 8 months, an estimated 530,000 migrants are known to have snuck across the border. The number rises to 1.2 million since Biden became president.

Last week, northern Mexico cities looked like something out of a Mad Max movie.

Stinking, garbage-strewn tent encampments popped up along the Rio Grande. Pictures and videos of migrants carrying infants across the river were splashed on our TV screens.

Some desperate people crawled under barbed wire fences and others overran hapless Mexico border guards.

El Paso, Texas looked like a refugee camp, with single migrant men, side-by-side with families, sheltered under tarps on city streets.

Holy shit, do the Dems actually want Trump back in the White House? 'Cause that's exactly what they are causing to happen.

I saw that Town Hall and thought 'here we go again'. Yeah, they want him to run because he's an easier target that telegraphs his weaknesses from a mile away.

Meanwhile, across the river over by SWF they're accepting nearly 200 male 'asylum seekers' today at various hotels. A few years ago a local small city got 150 or so Syrians as refugees and there was endless bitching. Thing was, that part of the city was a dump. Guess what ? it's not anymore, they improved it to some degree. I'm willing to be optimistic but generally bet that these new arrivals will take far more that they will give.

The FBI's anti-Trump Keystone Cops… the CIA's 51 laptop-trashing stooges… the NYT's biased Pulitzer lapdogs: now we KNOW they're all in the Dems' pockets and - terrifyingly - it's derailing democracy​

The deranged partisan hacks running America's once-respected institutions are completely, utterly, maybe irredeemably, shameless.

What other verdict can one reach after reading Special Counsel John Durham's report on the FBI investigation of President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign?

It should never – never in a thousand years – have been launched.

And the news media – the supposed independent servants of democracy, who demand that every Republican swear on their children that the 2020 vote was free, fair, and won by Biden – were more than happy to go along with it.

But now we know, the real election meddling was state sponsored.

The FBI 'failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law,' wrote Durham.

He found that the agency kicked off a full-fledged probe, at the height of an election, into a presidential campaign based on 'raw,' 'unevaluated,' and ultimately, dud information.

They ignored exculpatory evidence and were blinded by preconceived notions.

At best, they're the Keystone Cops. At worst, they're direct descendants of J. Edgar Hoover. It's damning.

I think 'Democracy' took a weird turn right after 9/11 and has not been the same since I'm not so naive as to think it was all sunshine and roses prior, but think about it - we've been at war for a solid generation and I think we've become economically addicted to it. What we are seeing is the thinnest veneer over orchestrated bullshit ever.

I am not comparing what's going on to the Nazis in any specific way, but I never really understood the mindset. I've read enough history to have consumed plenty of source material but it all necessarily lacks that visceral feel that only existed at the time, not in dusty books. Compromised press, masses being led willingly in baffling directions, manufactured crisis. I feel as if one big 'Op' has been run on us by our own three letter agencies.

Reporter spars with State Department official over alleged pronoun mandate​

State Department deputy spokesman Vedant Patel was pressed by a reporter in a contentious exchange Thursday over the department's new policy that reportedly mandates the use of pronouns in all State Department emails.

At the conclusion of Patel's Thursday briefing, Associated Press reporter Matt Lee, who covers the State Department, asked Patel to address the new internal pronoun policy which reportedly mandates all employees to include their pronouns in the ‘from’ field on all agency emails. Lee said he discovered the "mandatory" policy hours earlier during an email exchange with Patel's colleagues.

"Have you gotten any emails from any of your colleagues before you came out here… since about noon or so? Lee asked.

"What's your question?" Patel responded. "My email? I'm not going to pull up my email from the podium."

"You don't have to show it to me, I want to know if you noticed anything different in the ‘from’ line, where it gives the sender," Lee replied.

Patel, growing visibly frustrated, said he was unaware of any such change.

"Within the last hour and a half… the State Department's internal email system — and I tested this, so I know that it's true — has added pronouns to people's — not their signature — but to where it says 'from,'" Lee said. "Why?"

"This is not something that anybody has a choice about," he continued, "and so I'm wondering why and who made this decision."

A flustered Patel said he was unfamiliar with the "phenomenon," to which Lee replied, "Will you look into it?"

The AP reporter went on to emphasize that not only is the imposed policy "not optional," but he believes it has attributed the wrong pronouns to email senders who used the agency's server.

"I'd like to know why this would not be an optional thing… the problem is that a lot of them, or at least some of them so far, as I’ve been able to tell, are wrong. They’re giving the wrong pronouns. So men are being identified as women and women as men... and this has nothing to do with whatever transgender or anything like that… but It's ridiculous," Lee said.

When Patel tried to stress the right of individuals to include their preferred pronouns, Lee interjected, "I don't have a problem with doing it and if people want their pronouns attached to it, it's fine! But it should be a choice. Not something the State Department imposes on people, especially if it's wrong," he said.

Biden's non-binary nuclear guru Sam Brinton is arrested for Reagan Airport theft - which was reported AFTER his arrest for swiping women's luggage from Vegas and Minnesota airports​

The former Biden administration nuclear energy official Sam Brinton has been arrested for stealing women's clothes at an airport - again.

Brinton was picked up at home in Maryland last night and was taken to the Montgomery County Detention Center, where they remained overnight and this morning.

The charges relate to an alleged theft of property at Reagan National Airport that was reported to police in February, after Brinton had been arrested in Nevada and Minnesota on similar charges.

It's unclear when exactly the Reagan Airport theft occurred - and whether it was after Brinton's arrest in December.

Now, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority is leveling grand larceny charges.

Legislative session flies off rails when Democrat loses it during debate: 'We need trans people!'​

A Friday morning session in the unicameral Nebraska legislature devolved into chaos after one Democratic lawmaker began shouting her support for transgender people amid a debate on a bill to ban sex change procedures for minors in the state.

The bill, which was ultimately approved by lawmakers and sent to Republican Gov. Jim Pillen's desk to become law, bans sex change procedures for minors, as well as abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy.

In voicing her disapproval to the measure Friday morning, state Democrat Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh slapped the lectern and repeatedly shouted: "Transgender people belong here, we need trans people, we love trans people."

"You matter. You matter and I am fighting for you. I will not stop," exclaimed Cavanaugh, who displays she/her pronouns in her Twitter bio. "I will not stop today, I will not stop tomorrow. You are loved. You matter. You belong here."

Cavanaugh's shouting during the legislative session lasted for just under a minute.

Cavanaugh also railed against conservatives who voted for the hybrid bill — which includes protections for unborn children — and warned that people, medical professionals and businesses will leave the state over it.

Biden blasted for barking at reporter to ‘shush up’ during Japan G7 summit meeting​

President Joe Biden’s critics called out the world leader for telling a reporter to "shush up" while he was meeting with the Australian prime minister at the latest G7 summit in Japan.

Annoyed Twitter users slammed Biden as condescending for the command, with some pointing out that if former President Donald Trump had done that to an overzealous member of the press, he wouldn’t have heard the end of it from his usual critics.

The brief but tense moment happened while Biden was speaking one on one with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese this weekend at the G7 Summit in Hiroshima, Japan.

At the sit-down, which was accompanied by the usual gaggle of reporters, Biden answered one reporter’s questions and then silenced another who was insisting on asking more.

The fist reporter asked, "Mr. President, how concerned are you about the debt talks at home?" Initially, Biden appeared cordial, gently replying, "Not at all." In response to a follow-up on the topic, Biden claimed, "This goes in stages. I’ve been in these negotiations before."

As he was speaking, another reporting interjected several times, trying to get a question in. He stammered, "Mr. President," and again, "Mr. President –"

Apparently annoyed by the interruption, Biden sat up in his chair, squinted at the reporter, and coldly said, "Shush up, okay?" He then cracked a wry smile and said "Thank you."

Amused, the Australian prime minister let out a small chuckle as the president continued with his thoughts about his ongoing debt talks with the GOP.

Biden declares himself 'blameless' if US defaults on debt​

President Joe Biden on Sunday said he would consider using the 14th amendment to solve America's debt limit but conceded it is probably too close to the June 1st default deadline to use it in this round.

'I'm looking at the 14th Amendment as whether or not we have the authority,' he said at a press conference in Hiroshima.

'I think we have the authority. The question is could it be done and invoked in time that it would not be appealed and, as a consequence, pass the date in question and still default on the debt?'

Biden said he would be open to exploring the option in the courts to see if they would rule it legal or not.

The president had previously ruled out using the constitutional amendment - which some legal scholars argue has a clause that would make it unconstitutional for the U.S. to fail to make its debt payments - to raise the debt ceiling.

Biden also accused Republicans of trying to tank the debt talks to hurt his re-election bid, conceded he may be able to stop them from making a default, and said he'll be stepping in to deal with Speaker Kevin McCarthy one-on-one.

FBI refuses to provide subpoenaed document on alleged Biden 'criminal scheme'​

The Federal Bureau of Investigation failed to turn over a document subpoenaed by House Republicans that allegedly details a bribery scheme from then-Vice President Joe Biden.

The agency refused to provide the document Monday in a private meeting with the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. The unclassified FD-1023 document details criminal allegations of a pay-to-play scheme related to the Biden family's business dealings, according to a whistleblower at the agency who spoke with Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

How Awkward! First Lady Jill Biden is left begging for applause after line in speech falls flat with Washington DC crowd​

Jill Biden was left in the quiet and begging for a reaction after a tough crowd failed to respond as the First Lady hoped.

Biden, 71, spoke at the Reagan Institute Summit on Education Thursday when she suffered the gaffe while talking about uniting the right and left.

'I’ve visited red states and blue states and I’ve found that the common values that unite us are deeper than our divisions,' she said, which was followed by silence.

A flash of confusion crossed the First Lady's face before she took the awkward silence with stride and joked: 'And, um, I thought you might clap for that.'

This wasn't the first time Biden has suffered from an awkward pause during her speech. In 2019, the professor's 'applause line' fell short in Iowa after she promised her husband would stand up to the NRA.
