Biden camp reportedly fears photos from special counsel classified docs probe could devastate re-election bid​

President Biden's team reportedly is fearing photos included in Special Counsel Robert Hur's imminent report on the handling of classified documents could impact his 2024 re-election bid.

Axios reported that Biden's aides do not expect criminal charges as a result of the investigation, but they are concerned about potentially embarrassing photos included in Hur's expected report that could be released as soon as this week. The images could show how Biden stored classified materials, which were discovered in late 2022 in the garage of Biden's Delaware home, as well as in a private office he used. The classified documents were carried over from Biden's time as former President Obama's vice president.

Biden's aides told Axios that they are fearful former President Trump's campaign could use the photos against the Democrat incumbent ahead of their likely 2024 rematch.

Elmo Radicalized After Migrants Bused To Sesame Street


Elmo Radicalized After Migrants Bused To Sesame Street
U.S.·Feb 2, 2024 · BabylonBee.com

SESAME STREET — With the nationwide migrant crisis continuing to make headlines and cause intense debate among lawmakers, a disturbing new report confirmed beloved local resident Elmo had been radicalized after migrants were bused to Sesame Street.

Witnesses reported noticing a marked change in Elmo's worldview over the last several weeks, as bus after bus rolled down Sesame Street before coming to a stop and opening its door to allow scores of illegal migrants to pour out into Elmo's beloved neighborhood.
"Elmo can't believe this. Elmo has had enough!" the furry red creature was heard saying as he watched yet another busload of foreign nationals arrive outside his home from the southern U.S. border. "Why are they bringing them here? This isn't right! They are committing crimes and making Sesame Street a scary, scary place to live! Elmo demands an explanation! Elmo is tired of this invasion of Elmo's

Other residents also expressed concern with the repeated waves of migrant arrivals. "One thousand, three hundred, forty-five! Ah-ah-ah! One thousand, three hundred, forty-six! Ah-ah-ah!" The Count could be heard saying as he kept a running tally of the number of migrants that have arrived on Sesame Street. Though Oscar the Grouch was not in a happy mood, he did express relief that he would no longer be the only one blamed for the trash and general state of decay that would soon overtake the previously clean neighborhood.

Other local residents grew most concerned after Elmo appeared wearing a red "Make America Great Again" baseball cap. "This has pushed him over the edge," said Big Bird. "He was always a moderate before, but he's definitely been radicalized now."
At publishing time, Kermit the Frog had been detained by government agents for attempting to give a news report on the migrant crisis.

Every month America now gets a new city the size of Pittsburgh - that's how many migrants are pouring across our borders.​

Venezuelan migrant gangsters in New York City drag a 62-year-old woman behind their moped – slamming her into a bike rack before making off with her cell phone.

The Denver Department of Public Schools is suddenly in a $18 million hole after more than 2,800 migrant children were recently enrolled.

Poor African American families in Boston are booted out of a community center so the city can house dozens of desperate immigrants living out of Logan International Airport.

'You don't give a (expletive) about those born and raised here,' a man screamed at guards outside the gate.

Can you blame him?

That same anger explodes in the southside of Chicago, where hundreds turn out to protest temporary tent cities in their neighborhoods – or in Brooklyn, where high schools are repurposed as migrant shelters.

Vignettes from a country tearing itself apart—politically and functionally—because of a crushing crisis at the southern border.

And the only thing more appalling than the state of America's grievously broken immigration system is the gutting reality that the nation's political leaders refuse to come together to fix it.

'The only reason the border is not secure is because of Trump and his MAGA Republican friends,' President Joe Biden outrageously claimed from the White House on Tuesday, putting the nail in the coffin of the most significant U.S. immigration reform bill in a generation.

But the simple sickening truth is that neither party's presidential nominee really wanted this bill to pass.

Both would rather play a deeply cynical political game that gambles on the chance that their voters will blame the other side as the crisis rages on with no end.

December 2023 was the worst month in history for illegal crossings on the U.S.-Mexican border, topping 300,000 people for the first time ever.

That's the equivalent of the entire population of Pittsburgh.

By some estimates, under Biden, the illegal immigration population in America has nearly doubled to a staggering 20 million.

Biden 'did not remember when he was vice president,' when his son Beau died, during special counsel interviews​

According to Special Counsel Robert Hur's report on President Biden's mishandling of classified documents released Thursday, Biden could not remember key details, such as when he was vice president, during interviews with investigators.

Hur has been investigating Biden's improper retention of classified records since last year. The papers included classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, among other national security and foreign policy records, which Hur said implicated "sensitive intelligence sources and methods." He announced he would not seek criminal charges against Biden.

The report, however, also contains an eye-opening portion on how Biden struggled to remember when he served as vice president in the Obama administration while being interviewed for the investigation. Additionally, Hur's office believed Biden's lawyers would use those "limitations" in his recall if it went to trial.

"In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden's memory was worse," the report states. "He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended ('if it was 2013 - when did I stop being Vice President?'), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began ('in 2009, am I still Vice President?')."

"He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died," the report continued. "And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said he ‘had a real difference’ of opinion with General Karl Eikenberry, when, in fact, Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama."

"In a case where the government must prove that Mr. Biden knew he had possession of the classified Afghanistan documents after the vice presidency and chose to keep those documents, knowing he was violating the law, we expect that at trial, his attorneys would emphasize these limitations in his recall," the report said.

I posted about US national debit problem recently. But that's nothing in comparison to the state China's economy is in. China is literarily disintegrating:

I just saw the press conference Biden gave. IMO people with actual humility do not wave their son's death around like a bloody rag or blame anything on their staff publicly but, he's a politician and that's pure teflon deflection. As for his mental acuity, last time I checked the President of Mexico wasn't a major player in Gaza.

President Mumblebum talks to dead people. Can't remember who Hamas are. And now even his own DOJ pack him off to the nursing home! KENNEDY'S head-in-hands conclusion: Biden won't be voted out of the White House - he'll be wheeled out​

Undeniable evidence of Joe Biden 's startling mental decline is accumulating faster than naked selfies in Hunter's laptop. The Special Counsel investigating Biden's mishandling of classified documents found he 'willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.' But - get this hot load of malarkey - Joe won't be charged. Why? Because his own Justice Department has concluded that a jury would find him to be 'a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.' Translation: No juror would throw their poor old grandpa in the clink, so the DOJ is not going to bother prosecuting. And it gets worse. Call the cops! It's official. America's top law enforcement department thinks Biden's brains have turned to mashed potatoes.

I'm waiting on the public vilification of Special Counsel Robert K. Hur. Noted that CNN and MSNBC did not carry this extraordinary press conference live, they were bashing DT when this was happening. Biden looked more dialed in than usual, surprisingly. He reminds me of someone who's been drinking who is trying to act like they haven't - very careful enunciation but a bit of slurring and confusion is still there.

Doctors demand Biden take dementia tests NOW after an astonishing week of gaffes - capped off by brutal DOJ probe that found President suffers 'significant limitations in memory'​

Doctors today called for President Joe Biden to receive cognitive tests that prove he's fit to serve after an astonishing week of gaffes, as well as a report from the justice department that raised serious questions about his health.

The DOJ report described Biden, 81, as a 'elderly man with a poor memory', finding that he did not remember the years he was vice president and could not recall, 'even within several years', when his son Beau died.

Doctors reacting to the assessment said forgetting key events like the death of a loved one were a hallmark of cognitive decline, a precursor for dementia, and called for the incumbent to take cognitive tests to 'prove to the public' that he is mentally sound.

Last night in an unusual move, Biden angrily addressed the nation about the DOJ report, telling Americans 'I know what the hell I am doing!' and insisting that 'my memory is fine.'

However, moments later he committed another startling gaffe, referring to the Egyptian leader as the President of Mexico. Concerns about the president's health have hit a fever pitch following a week of shocking gaffes that saw Biden confuse dead foreign leaders with current ones multiple times.

Dr Stuart Fischer, an internal medicine physician in New York, told DailyMail.com that a cognitive test for the president was 'long overdue'.

'If you want to prove to the public [that he's mentally and physically sound], you've got to show them,' he said.

'You're in the top job in the country... you have got to be able to produce.'

He pointed out to the transparency from the Royal Family in the UK, who announced King Charles' cancer diagnosis earlier this week, urging the White House to apply the same level of honesty when it comes to Biden's health problems.

It's over - Joe knows it and America knows it. Now MAUREEN CALLAHAN delivers a blistering message to spineless Democrats: After THAT car crash national address, keeping Biden in office isn't just unpatriotic... it's dangerous​

It's no longer up for debate: Joe Biden has got to go. In a hastily called press conference Thursday night, President Biden was, for the first time, questioned relentlessly by the White House press pool about his age, cognition, and fitness to serve. Finally! The ostensible headline was meant to be the Department of Justice report had cleared Biden of mishandling classified documents. But the real headline was contained in the special counsel Robert Hur's reasoning. He wrote that a jury would be unlikely to convict because Biden, 81, is 'a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory' suffering 'diminished faculties in advancing age'. Biden told investigators that he could not recall when his term as vice president ended. 'If it was 2013 - when did I stop being vice president?' he asked. Oh dear.
