Merrick Garland Shouldn’t Be Praised.
He Should Be Impeached
Posted By: earlybird, 6/6/2024 8:35:06 PM
It’s no accident that The Wall Street Journal ran an “exclusive” hagiographic piece on Merrick Garland’s “by-the-book, play-no-favorites approach” the day the attorney general is set to be grilled by Congress. The administration wants to paint the AG as a fair-minded dispenser of justice. In truth, while Garland might occasionally — only when faced with no real options — put the Biden administration in an uncomfortable political position, he has regularly weaponized the agency to target the president’s political enemies, from pro-life protesters to concerned parents to presidential candidates. Even as I write this, Garland is refusing to hand over audio recordings of Joe Biden’s interviews with former Special Counsel Robert Hur,

A federal appeals court has revived a lawsuit challenging the COVID-19 vaccine mandate imposed by the Los Angeles school district, noting that the record doesn’t clearly show whether the vaccines prevent transmission of the illness.
The Health Freedom Defense Fund and other challengers to the mandate asserted that it violated the due process and equal protection rights of district employees, in part because the vaccines, unlike traditional vaccines, “are not effective” in preventing infection.
U.S. District Judge Dale Fischer disagreed, throwing out the case in 2022. She ruled that even if the COVID-19 vaccines don’t prevent infection, mandates can be imposed under a 1905 U.S. Supreme Court ruling
Ever since the U.S. election of 2016, and to a lesser extent the Brexit referendum months earlier, I have read a dozen or so government publications about the general subject of interference in the election process. What I find common amid each of those government reviews, is a general leftist theme that democracy must be protected from election outcomes.
I know that last sentence sounds a little goofy, but that’s because leftism is exactly that weird and fraught with hypocrisy.
Keep in mind, right now in Europe Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has banned any political opposition and cancelled elections in his country in order to “preserve democracy.”
The real reason for the Hunter trial

Vivek Ramaswamy tweeted, “The Hunter Biden trial is a smokescreen. It’s designed to make the prosecution of Trump appear nonpartisan, yet the outcome of the Hunter trial doesn’t matter because Joe Biden can & will pardon him. The trial’s timing is no coincidence: right after the Trump conviction, but set to finish before Joe Biden leaves the White House.”

it is a smokescreen designed to legitimize that dog-and-pony show in New York.
But there is zero doubt that this fake trial will result in an exoneration for Hunter. Why do you think FJB declared he won’t pardon him? He won’t have to. The fix is in.
As I shared last year, the operation behind Ron DeSantis is much deeper than most can fathom. Arguably and factually, we can trace the origin of the DeSantis ’24 objective all the way back to the end of 2017 just before the midterm 2018 races began.
Ron DeSantis left Congress to go after the Florida governor position in 2018. The political apparatus that supported his shift included the Bush clan GOP faction and his career long support system within the Club for Growth.(snipThe people operating the plan were using DeSantis as the 2024 candidate to get the GOP back in the hands of the party establishment
French President Emmanuel Macron was pulverized in the national election today. According to exit polling, Marine LePen’s National Rally party will win around 32% of the vote, while Macron’s Renaissance party will win around 15%.
A massive rebuke of the leftist government in France.
PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron dissolved parliament and called a fresh election on Sunday, following his party’s crushing defeat at the hands of far-right candidates in the European Union election.
Summer tourists in New York City face unprecedented lodging costs as hotels throughout the city are being repurposed as migrant housing.
The average price for a hotel room in the city, based on 2023 data, is a record-breaking $301 per night, an 8.5 percent increase from 2022 costs. This rise in prices is largely due to the city’s gross overcommitment to providing shelter for the influx of illegal migrants flooding the city.
A recent change to Gotham’s “right to shelter” rule allows adult illegal migrants under the age of 23 to stay up to 60 days in city-run shelters.
Congressman Matt Gaetz seemingly cuts across the UniParty grain at key moments; perhaps today is another example. The better part of good public questioning is not just what question is asked, but also how the question is asked.
The back-and-forth questioning does not need to be performative to be substantial.(snip)
AG Merrick Garland says it’s a “dangerous conspiracy theory” to allege that the Department of Justice is communicating with state and local prosecutions against Trump. But former senior DOJ official Matthew Colangelo was appointed Senior Counsel to District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office to “get Trump”

U.S. District for Montana Chief Judge Brian Morris sparked scrutiny after speaking at a U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) event advancing Biden’s “sustainability goals.” The judge spoke at a podium emblazoned with a sign reading “President Joe Biden” and “Investing in America.”
Ethics rules typically prohibit judges from participating in partisan events to avoid the appearance of politics affecting their decisions. Constitution-supporting Supreme Court justices such as Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, for example, have been charged in the national press with conflicts of interest due to not theirs but their wives’ free speech and participation in the political process.
There are not even enough words to describe this level of manipulative lying and trying to reframe reality. Any person who tries to support this insufferable effort should be ridiculed and shamed immediately. (image)Joe Biden’s first day in office he reversed all of the border security measures President Trump had put into place – specifically, the remain in Mexico policy. Now, with massive backlash starting to permeate the American electorate as the consequences of lawlessness are hitting hard, Joe Biden pretends he is not to blame for an unsecured border.
This is the biggest attempt at political gaslighting in modern history.
The echo of “guilty” had barely subsided from Acting Justice Juan Merchan’s courthouse before a new meme waddled its way toward centerstage.
“Felon.”That was going to be the new meme of the moment.
The New York Times took up the baton instantly, issuing a stern editorial “Donald Trump, Felon” the very day of the verdict.
The piece itself is mostly rabid anti-Trump boilerplate, but there is one bit that I hope people who still read the former paper of record will take to heart.
It comes at the end: “The jurors have delivered their verdict, as the voters will in November.
Since the year before Bragg took office, grand larceny crimes -- the theft of goods worth over $1,000 from an individual or a business -- are up 33%.
On Saturday, a knife-wielding thief severely stabbed a security guard at a midtown Manhattan Duane Reade and threatened a shopper.
Roughly 12 hours later, a straphanger was shot in the hand as his train pulled into the 86th Street and Lexington Avenue platform.
That’s life in Manhattan, where transit crime, assault and shoplifting are raging.
(snip). “We have to watch our backs in the stores and on the subway.”
That’s because Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg doesn’t have New Yorkers’ backs.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fears that former President Donald Trump will throw her in jail if he wins the election in November.
The Congresswoman voiced her concern to Kara Swisher on her podcast On with Kara Swisher. (Video) “I mean, it sounds nuts, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy threw me in jail,” she said. “He’s out of his mind. I mean, he did his whole first campaign around ‘lock her up.’ This is his motto.”
Ocasio-Cortez emphasized that Trump will “round up people” if elected president.
Director Steven Spielberg, a master of dramatic scenes on the beaches of Normandy, helped prepare President Joe Biden for his speech at Pointe du Hoc.
Spielberg was in the room at the Hotel Intercontinental in Paris on Friday morning when Biden was doing his final run through and prep for what the White House billed as a major speech on democracy, according to a source with knowledge of the preparations.
The White House did not respond to inquiries from DailyMail.com on why Spielberg was in the room and whether or not he was compensated for his advice.
During Sunday’s broadcast of New York City radio WABC’s “The Cat’s Roundtable,” long-time Democrat political strategist James Carville admitted remorse for President Joe Biden’s decision to run for re-election in 2024.
Carville told WABC host John Catsimatidis there was a deep bench if Biden should be forced out but acknowledged he thought the incumbent president should have considered sitting this one out.
“And tell me, we both talked over breakfast that, if anything — if President Biden decides not to run or is ill and can’t run, where does the Democratic Party go?”
Ashley Biden had a torrid affair with a violent junkie who terrorized his family and stole from friends before succumbing to a fatal drug overdose, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
The President's daughter, 42, who turned up at a Delaware court Monday to support her half-brother Hunter – praised Eric Dengler's 'style and swag' after falling for him during a stint in rehab – writing in her diary: 'He is a great kisser. And he is calming + sweet.
Ashley recalls in the diary how she was always 'boy crazy' and how she had 'sex with friends @ a young age'.
Donald Trump’s disgraced former attorney Michael Cohen has claimed that the former president is planning to assassinate his political enemies if he returns to the White House next year.
Appearing on MSNBC with host Ali Velshi, Cohen claimed that people will “start flying out of windows” if he wins the election in November.
He explained:
State-sponsored news just like what you have in Russia and their station which is called Pravda and means truth which is ironic, right? All of this goes away under a Donald Trump administration. Why? Because he doesn’t want to hear anything negative being said about him.
Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed on Sunday that former President Donald Trump wasn’t running a 2024 campaign because he wanted to win — rather, she said he was doing it solely because he saw it as a way to keep himself out of prison.
Psaki made the comments during Sunday’s broadcast of her MSNBC show “Inside with Jen Psaki,” and she argued that President Joe Biden’s recent speech in Normandy, France — commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day — was proof that his values were more aligned with the American people’s values than Trump’s are.

They’re not even trying to hide it anymore.
After a week where the polls didn’t give the Biden-Harris ticket the bump Democrats were hoping for, Vice President Kamala Harris escalated her criticism of presumptive GOP presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump on Saturday, arguing his conviction on 34 questionable felony counts in a Manhattan court ought to be “disqualifying.”
The speech, given at a Democratic Party dinner Saturday in Detroit, gave Harris the opportunity to up the rhetoric over what she termed Trump’s “attacks” on the justice system, according to Politico.
“You know why he complains? Because the reality is, cheaters don’t like getting caught,”
Tim Scott Is Trump’s Ideal Running Mate

The conventional wisdom concerning vice-presidential picks is that they don’t really matter because voters focus on the top of the ticket in presidential elections. This is ordinarily true, but 2024 is no ordinary election. This time the winner will be the oldest president ever inaugurated, so it’s eminently possible that his vice-president will be called on to finish his term. We know what that means if Biden wins, so Trump’s running mate will receive more than the usual amount of voter scrutiny. Thus, he must not choose another irascible white male or any Florida resident. This eliminates all but one
Former President Donald Trump promised that if elected president in November, his administration will eliminate taxes on tips.
During a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday, Trump told the crowd his administration would not be taxing the tips of people working in hotels, restaurants, or other jobs. “So, this is the first time I’ve said this. And, for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy,” Trump announced. “Because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips — people making tips.”
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) said Friday on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” that he thought President Joe Biden was “the only Democrat” that could beat former President Donald Trump in November.

This is the fifth in a series of profiles of potential running mates for presidential candidate Donald Trump on the 2024 Republican Party ticket
The race to determine who will be Donald Trump's running mate this November took a major step forward last week with the acceleration of vetting multiple potential candidates, but political insiders with deep knowledge of presidential campaigns say there is one possible name on the former president's shortlist Democrats "fear" the most.
Trump's campaign recently entered the next phase of the running mate search by requesting documents from several prospective contenders, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio,
Vice President Kamala Harris told a Democratic Party dinner in Michigan on Saturday evening that she mourned the “innocent lives” lost among Palestinians in Gaza during an Israeli rescue mission that freed four hostages.
Fox 2 Detroit reported:
“Before I begin, I just say a few words about the morning which I know weighs heavily on all of our hearts,” [Harris] said.”On October 7th, Hamas committed a brutal massacre of 1,200 innocent people and abducted 250 hostages.”
“Thankfully four of those hostages were reunited with their families tonight. And we mourn all of the innocent lives that have been lost in Gaza, including
