Why Trump Wasn’t Charged With Insurrection
Posted By: Garnet, 8/7/2023 12:47:46 AM
For 31 months, the Democrats and their allies in the corporate media have characterized the Capitol Hill chaos that erupted on Jan. 6, 2021 as an “insurrection.” The House of Representatives reinforced this version of events by impeaching then-President Trump for “incitement of insurrection.” The Senate acquitted him, of course. Nonetheless, the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th attack referred the case to the Justice Department for further investigation. Consequently, it was something of a surprise that the formal indictment unsealed last Tuesday by Special Counsel Jack Smith failed to charge Trump with fomenting insurrection.

Devon Archer, a former friend and business partner to Hunter Biden, testified Monday as part of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the Biden family business dealings and alleged foreign corruption. Archer made several key claims, including that Hunter was brought on to the board of Ukranian energy company Burisma because of his familial connections and that Hunter put then-Vice President Joe Biden on the phone his business associates at least twenty times to demonstrate his access to US government power.
Archer’s testimony complicates the insistence from President Joe Biden, the White House and their friends in the media that President Biden was oblivious

Joe Biden doesn’t do a lot of interviews, and there’s a good reason why, given his continued problem with incoherence and mistakes. His staff has done all they can to either cut him off from the press or set him up with softball interviews.
Biden just interviewed with British podcaster Jay Shetty at the White House, which I think falls under the umbrella of a softball interview. Now, it’s ironic that he was appearing with Shetty to talk about how the Biden administration intends to help deal with the mental health crisis. The Democrats could start by having Joe Biden retire from the job and take care of himself.
As promised, Hunter Biden’s former business partner at Rosemont Seneca, Devon Archer, showed up to offer closed-door testimony to the House Oversight Committee and he had plenty to say. According to James Comer, Archer identified President Joe Biden as “the brand” back when he was Vice President, and Hunter Biden sold “the brand” around the world. He told the committee about at least twenty business meetings he and Hunter held with foreign entities where The Big Guy was either on the phone or there in person. He also testified about various “favors” that these clients wanted and received from Joe Biden in exchange for paying off Hunter and company.

RYE, N.H. − Meeting and greeting voters at a barbecue in a rural hamlet, Ron DeSantis deployed his rebooted campaign Sunday by making familiar arguments about why he should be president - and throwing in a few jokes, as when he thanked New Hampshire-based police officers for providing security.
"If we recruit you to Florida, you get a $500 signing bonus right off the top," DeSantis said as voters encouragingly chuckled. "We're always looking for good people."
As with a recent trip to Iowa, DeSantis used his New Hampshire trip to display an altered campaign style that includes a little more personality,
Biden Impeachment Inquiry Is Well-Earned
4 replies
When House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) suggested that mounting questions concerning the fishy financial history of President Biden and his family may lead to an impeachment inquiry, some Republicans got the vapors. Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), for example, said it would send the “wrong message.” Reps. David Joyce (R-Ohio) and Tom Cole (R-Okla.) voiced similarly craven qualms. An inquiry may well uncover evidence supporting claims made in an FBI document, recently released by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), that Biden accepted bribes while Vice President. If so, it is the duty of House Republicans to impeach him.
The language is undeniably different, and yet White House officials said four different times Wednesday that “nothing has changed” concerning President Biden’s longstanding denial that he was ever involved in the foreign business dealings of his son Hunter.
House Republicans, meanwhile, contend that the deviation in wording now employed at the White House reflects a strategy to distance the president from Hunter Biden ahead of potentially damaging new testimony.
Biden told Fox News on the campaign trail in September 2020, “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” a categorical denial he later repeated the next month in a radio interview
First of all, I am not a lawyer, a legal analyst, a legal scholar, nor as smart about these things as Ed, who is on vacation.
But I have spent a bit of time around politics, and the collapse of the Hunter plea deal promises to shake up the political landscape, although we have no idea how much yet. The bomb is still in the air, so we don’t know whether its explosion will be nuclear, fuel-air, bunker-buster, or anything up to and including a big dud.But at the very least, when it hits the ground even a dud has some substantial kinetic energy and it will leave a crater.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United States are re-uniting. Jill Biden was sent to France to highlight the United States rejoining the organization. And, she will honor Americans who died in northern France during World War II. UNESCO is the cultural wing of the U.N. It facilitates international exchange through education, arts, culture, sciences, and the arts.We can only hope she doesn’t call anyone a breakfast crepe in a speech.
She arrived in Paris on Monday, her first trip to France, and after greeting U.S. Embassy staff, she joined Brigitte Macron for a UNESCO flag-raising ceremony.
President Biden is merely pretending to do his job. But will the charade collapse before he can finagle another election victory?
In czarist Russia, a Russian governor named Potemkin built a fake village to deceive Catherine the Great about the condition of the peasants she ruled.
In today’s Washington, the media are partnering with Team Biden to concoct a Potemkin village to deceive Americans about Biden’s faltering fitness for office.
Last month at the Air Force Academy graduation in Colorado, Biden stumbled leaving the podium.
It took multiple Secret Service agents to eventually get Joe back on his feet.
Well that is a shift...

Lots of news about Joe Biden’s obvious financial relationship with his influence peddling, coke-snorting, hooker-using disgusting and worthless human being he calls a son has been emerging of late.None of it tells us anything we didn’t already know, except in terms of filling out the details of how the influence-peddling scheme worked and how the money was hidden and distributed within a family that is more corrupt than Spiro Agnew ever hoped to be.
Why ‘Bidenomics’ Isn’t Selling
10 replies
President Biden has of late attempted to convince Americans to ignore the financial realities of their day-to-day lives by insisting that his stewardship of the economy has been a success. Inevitably, the corporate media have been all too willing to repeat this rubbish despite mountains of data that clearly debunk the President’s claims. Fortunately, the voters are not as dumb as Biden and the Fourth Estate evidently believe. According to virtually every poll, significant majorities disapprove of the way he has handled the economy. Moreover, because the voters experience the ugly facts in real time every day, it is unlikely that a public relations campaign will change their opinion.

Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume called former President Donald Trump a failed president on Monday.
Hume issued his condemnatory statement in response to a video from conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who suggested that people oppose Trump due to his success as president. “If Trump was such a failed president, why are they doing everything they possibly can to prevent a second term of Trump?” said Kirk. “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe they don’t want a repeat of a failed presidency. Just guessing here,” responded Hume.
During an interview with NBC News on Monday, 2024 Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis stated that the 2020 election was poorly run, but we had mass mail-in balloting because “Trump turned the government over to Fauci, they embraced lockdowns, they did the CARES Act, which funded mail-in ballots across the country. Donald Trump signed that bill that funded the mail ballots that all the Republicans have been so concerned about.” And that the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story “was Donald Trump’s FBI that was working with that.”
In 2015, David Burge (Iowahawk) posted a now-famous tweet describing leftism: “1. Identify a respected institution. 2. Kill it. 3. Gut it. 4. Wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.” In that short tweet, he perfectly described what leftism has done to the Judeo-Christian religion. And that act of wearing a religion’s “carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect” is the best caption possible for a video in which a female Presbyterian minister, draped in a Planned Parenthood stole, celebrates her abortion and abortions generally.
Backlash continues to build against Harry’s Razors over the brand’s previous promotion of the transgender activist group the Trevor Project, a group that supports transgender treatments for minors.
Conservative commentators and other social media users called out the razor company after a video highlighted by social media account End Wokeness went viral showing a woman who identifies as a man shaving her face in an Instagram video sponsored by Harry’s Razors. The video is captioned “celebrating my first Pride with facial hair!”
Ginormous toxic hammerhead worms - which can grow up to 15 inches - have invaded DC backyards as the slithering creatures shock residents and have scientists warning about getting too close.
Americans are being advised to avoid touching the foot-long flatworms, which feast on slugs, snails and earthworms by paralyzing them with the same potent neurotoxin found in deadly puffer fish.
Also known as spade-headed garden worms, the slippery specimens excrete a septic slime, which can be harmful to humans if ingested.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has urged House Republicans to avoid impeaching President Joe Biden.
Speaking to the New York Times in an interview published Tuesday, McConnell said that he does not want to continue the impeachment cycle that Democrats started two years ago when they impeached former President Trump on dubious charges.
“I said two years ago, when we had not one but two impeachments, that once we go down this path it incentivizes the other side to do the same thing,” McConnell said. “Impeachment ought to be rare,” he added. “This is not good for the country.”
President Joe Biden will soon ask Congress for a Ukraine aid package that could exceed $10 billion, a report released Tuesday found.
Punchbowl News reported the Ukraine aid battle will resume when Congress returns from recess. The incoming request, which could be “north of $10 billion,” follows as Ukraine continues its slow-moving counteroffensive against Russia, and America and other NATO countries have pledged support for Ukraine.
The Army’s acquisition chief told reporters on Monday that the Department of Defense was working on a funding package for lawmakers to consider. The package would be used to replenish American weapon stockpiles which have been depleted after providing munitions to Ukraine’s protracted conflict with Russia.
Former Vice President Mike Pence has attained the qualifications to attend the first primary debate for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.
Pence's team announced on Monday that his campaign had surpassed 40,000 individual donors, Politico reported. That number is one of the Republican National Committee's requirements to attend the debate on Aug 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The former vice president also reached the other needed qualifications, which include polling at least 1% nationally. He is the eighth candidate to qualify, and he's possibly the last.

due to surge of migrants, calls for federal action 22 replies
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in the liberal state over a surge of migrants that she says has left social services overwhelmed, calling for more funding and federal action. Healey, a Democrat, announced that a state of emergency exists "due to rapid and unabating increases in the number of families with children and pregnant people — many of them newly arriving migrants and refugees — living within the state but without the means to secure safe shelter in our communities." The state says there are nearly 5,600 families or more than 20,000 people in
Three California residents last week filed a lawsuit against Tesla for what they claim is false advertising over the car’s range. But why stop at Tesla? And why just sue over false claims about range when every other claim about EVs is also a lie?
The lawsuit comes in the wake of a Reuters report contending that Tesla had been goosing the range displayed on its dashboard and created a “diversion team” to deal with all the customer complaints about faulty batteries.
The filing claims that “Had Tesla honestly advertised its electric vehicle ranges, consumers either would not have purchased

A Catholic couple is suing Massachusetts state officials after allegedly being told they were unable to foster children due to their religious beliefs about marriage and sexuality, according to court documents.
Mike and Catherine “Kitty” Burke went through the process to get certified to begin fostering children in 2022, but were reportedly deemed unfit by the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) after a series of home visits, according to court documents. (snip) The Burkes had several home visits, but found that most of the questions pertained to their beliefs on gender, sexuality and marriage, according to the lawsuit.
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, considered a rising star among Texas Democrats, will temporarily leave her post leading the state’s most populous county to receive treatment for clinical depression, she announced Monday.
Hidalgo said she was diagnosed with the condition in July and checked into an out-of-state facility to undergo treatment late last month. She aims to return to work in early September.
“From the beginning of my tenure as County Judge, I have stressed the importance of mental health services,” Hidalgo wrote in a letter Monday afternoon to Harris County residents. “Depression and other mental health illnesses are part of the human condition, and mental health illnesses
