Axios has obtained recordings of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s October 8, 2023 interview of President Biden in the Biden version of the documents case. Marc Caputo and Alex Thompson introduce the four-minute audio clip below: “Amid long, uncomfortable pauses, Joe Biden struggled to recall when his son died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected or why he had classified documents he shouldn’t have had, according to audio Axios obtained of his October 2023 interviews with special counsel Robert Hur.” Caputo and Thompson observe in their summary: “The recordings appear to validate special counsel Robert Hur’s assertion

In his four years in office, Joe Biden pardoned or granted clemency to more than 8,000 criminals, including his own son, four times more than Barack Obama (1,927), who was in office for eight years.
Republicans raised questions about Biden's extensive reliance on the executive autopen to sign all those pardons and acts of clemency. Indeed, it would seem to be a non-issue. All presidents have used an autopen for official and unofficial business, so what's the big deal?
Legal experts scoffed at that idea except in one unlikely instance. Kermit Roosevelt, constitutional law expert at the University of Pennsylvania, said, “If the president doesn’t know that something was done,
Welcome back to another tour of the craziness that is progressive Christianity. Sometimes, I approach these columns with a theme in mind, but that wasn’t my plan this week. It wasn’t until I finished compiling these examples that I realized that there was a theme, and it’s that progressive churches will preach anything but the gospel.
Let’s start with a doozy. My friend and colleague Sarah Anderson sent me a post on X featuring a woman pastor (shocker) with sort of a mohawk (bonus) spouting a bunch of left-wing clichés that start with “I’m a pastor…”
I'm a pastor. Of course I believe that all lives matter, but right now,

Nantucket Drug Bust
7 replies
The limericks write themselves. The U.K. Daily Mail reports,
A suspected drug dealer caught up in Nantucket’s biggest ever coke bust has been defended by residents as ‘a person of high character working towards bettering himself.’
Locals came out in support of Francisco Fernandez Sanchez, 31, this week after police say they busted him with over 2.5 kg of cocaine alongside an array of drug paraphernalia and scales.
You will not be surprised to see that in the 2024 election, the islanders went for the Democrat by a 67-31 margin, an even wider Democratic advantage than seen in the rest of the Commonwealth.
His supporters describe Sanchez “as a man of high character
After years of cheering the ignoring of the law by Joe Biden – student loans, immigration, etc. – Democrats are now insisting that to enforce the law is to somehow break it…as long as it is being enforced against them. Not to get too hyperbolic, but this is how the Nazis acted, this is how the Taliban acted, of which the modern “progressive” Democrat Party are the direct descendants. Insisting they are above the law makes them the most dangerous political force in the country, if not the planet. They need to be held accountable.
This latest foray by Democrats to defecate on the Constitution happened
The Big Kisseloff
5 replies
The University Press of Kansas has published Jeff Kisseloff’s Rewriting History: A Fifty-Year Journey to Uncover the Truth About Alger Hiss (with a foreword by Tony Hiss). You may be thinking, what a perfect title for a book seeking to vindicate Alger Hiss! Or you may be thinking, that’s not a journey I am ever going to take in this lifetime! Or you may be thinking, you have got to be kidding me!
Professor Harvey Klehr is the preeminent historian of American Communism. He has read Kisseloff’s book so that we don’t have to. In the current issue of Commentary he reviews it in “The big Kisseloff.” Thank you, Professor Klehr.
California governor and self-appointed heir apparent to the Democratic presidential nomination, Gavin Newsom, just moved so far to the right that he risks impeachment by his state's Democrat-dominated Assembly.
That's a joke, obviously. Democrats never impeach their own, even after they become liabilities; they just exile them to the political wilderness. You and I have spent the last week or so watching them attempting to do just that to a sitting Democrat senator, Pennsylvania's John Fetterman. If Republicans had the same ruthless instincts, John McCain’s last public appearance would’ve been around 1990 — on the side of a milk carton.
But I digress.
Despite the Democrats' continued, unconstitutional and preposterous lawfare, including their judge-shopping for leftist stooges who will do their bidding, President Trump is doing amazing things.
Sure, those crooked judges are delaying his agenda but, so far, this administration has been an astonishing success.
His tariffs have produced millions in revenue.
Inflation is down, grocery prices are down. Gas prices are down.
And most important of all, the Southern border has been closed. The horrific scenes of thousands of migrants entering the country day after day after day are over. The Biden administration’s fervent attempt to destroy the country via the invasion of third-world
After spending years helping cover up Joe Biden’s obvious mental decline, Russia collusion hoaxer and left-wing propagandist Jake Tapper is now trying to gaslight Americans into believing he had nothing to do with the media-wide scandal.
The CNN host spent Tuesday hawking his upcoming book on X, which promises readers an inside look at the Biden administration’s efforts to hide the Delaware Democrat’s “health issues” — efforts the media were more than happy to participate in. Despite his best attempts to feign innocence on the subject, Tapper was one of the main leftist hacks leading the media campaign to try and convince Americans that the doddering Biden on their television screens
The Party That Prays for Collapse

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Abraham Lincoln spoke those words in 1858, not as a metaphor, but as a warning.
The country was tearing along seams of ideology and morality. Lincoln saw it. He feared America could not endure as both a slave state and a free one. He was right.
But even then, Lincoln hoped the Union would stand. He didn’t root for secession or sabotage. He didn’t pray for Southern crops to fail or cities to burn to make his case. He confronted the moment of agony and clarity, defending a flawed system while preparing to save it from itself.
That’s what leadership once looked like.
Now, fast-forward 165 years.
Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr. today issued a policy decision regarding the status of individuals who have passed away while on the permanently ineligible list. This issue has never been formally addressed by Major League Baseball, but an application filed by the family of Pete Rose has made it incumbent upon the Office of the Commissioner to reach a policy decision on this unprecedented issue in the modern era as Mr. Rose is the first person banned after the tenure of Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis to die while still on the ineligible list.
Joe Biden Was Senile? Who Knew?
13 replies
Who didn’t? I was on Australian television during the 2020 election campaign, and casually mentioned that Joe Biden was senile. Rita Panahi was startled and said, “Wait, what? Joe Biden is senile?” I explained that this was why he was running a basement campaign rather than putting on campaign events like Donald Trump did. It seemed obvious at the time.
Biden’s debility became increasingly clear over the four years of his term. The videos of Biden being unable to speak without a teleprompter, being unable to read a teleprompter, falling down, wandering about, speaking inappropriately in various ways, were legion.

Undisclosed communication devices reportedly discovered in Chinese-manufactured solar panels and related equipment have sparked concerns among U.S. officials about the vulnerability of the nation’s power grid, according to a Reuters report. These “rogue” devices, found over the past nine months, could potentially destabilize energy infrastructure and trigger widespread blackouts, sources familiar with the matter told the outlet. The undocumented devices, including cellular radios, were identified in solar power inverters, batteries, electric vehicle chargers, and heat pumps produced by several Chinese suppliers.

The debate about the massive cost overruns in Minnesota’s free health care for illegal aliens program is facing looming cuts even as Democrats vow to “fight until the very end” for the freebies paid for by taxpayers. The state’s Democrat party, the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL), is loudly defending the massive healthcare giveaways even as far left-wing governor and failed Democrat nominee for Vice President Tim Walz admits the program is suffering from an unplanned and unsustainable growth in spending.

Merz and Tusk Unite Against President
Trump Effort 24 replies
The agenda behind Zelenskyy and his handlers is very clear, the EU need to keep distance between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin; so, they keep playing the narrative game around the pretense of a ‘ceasefire.’
Using his Twitter account today, the vertically challenged EU members led by Volodymyr Zelenskyy note, “if the Russians reject a full and unconditional ceasefire and an end to killings, tough sanctions must follow. Pressure on Russia must be maintained until Russia is ready to end the war.”The picture Zelenskyy presents of Donald Tusk (Poland), Zelenskyy, Emmanuel Macron (France), Keir Starmer (UK) and Friedrich Merz (Germany), represents his “coalition of the willing.”
The Secret Service may try to force former FBI Director James Comey to answer pointed questions into a social media post he issued depicting an image of “8647,” but a U.S. attorney whom President Trump appointed will determine whether to prosecute Comey over the post.
If Comey refuses to comply with their request for what’s known as a protective intelligence interview, the Secret Service leading the investigation into the Instagram post can apply for a subpoena through an assistant U.S. attorney. It’s that prosecutor who will determine whether the former FBI director is legally required to answer their questions, and

takes a turn… 23 replies
A formal letter has just been sent to Secret Service Director Sean Curran and FBI Director Kash Patel, calling for an immediate joint investigation into James Comey after he posted a disturbing message on social media using the phrase “86” in reference to President Trump.(snip)
The letter demands a full probe into potential violations of federal law, including 18 U.S.C. § 871 (threats against the President) and 18 U.S.C. § 875 (interstate threats). It also presses for answers on whether Comey still holds a security clearance or has access to classified material.
The same Left that spent years crying about “stochastic terrorism” is silent now.
The New York Times continues to work tirelessly to maintain the narrative that the United States is now a fascist regime. Earlier, the Times demonstrated its view of balanced analysis by running a collection of legal opinions titled “A Road Map to Trump’s Lawless Presidency.” Now, it is featuring three Yale professors fleeing fascism for the safety of Canada, making direct references to the rise of the Nazis. The video is titled “These Yale Professors Study Fascism.” All three professors are going permanently to Canada to teach at the University of Toronto.
Republican spending hawks dealt a significant blow to President Trump’s domestic agenda on Friday, blocking his “big, beautiful” bill from advancing through the House Budget Committee.
The measure failed in a 16-21 vote, with five Republicans voting no: Representatives Chip Roy of Texas, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, Andrew Clyde of Georgia and Lloyd Smucker of Pennsylvania.
The party could only lose the support of two of its members and still pass the legislation.
The fiscal hawks who voted down the 1,116-page bill argue the measure doesn’t include enough spending cuts
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is pulling no punches in her view of the direct threat against President Donald Trump that has been made and promoted by former FBI Director James Comey.
Speaking to Fox News, Director Gabbard outlines that there is “no way” James Comey did not know what his threat post was about. Gabbard notes the “86 47” phrase has been circulating the far-left for several months and Mr Comey is well aware what it means. Director Gabbard says in her view the former FBI director should be arrested and put behind bars. WATCH:
FBI Director Kash Patel announced Friday that the bureau is leaving its longtime DC headquarters in the J. Edgar Hoover Building and transferring 1,500 employees to locations around the country.
“This FBI is leaving the [J. Edgar] Hoover Building because this building is unsafe for our workforce,” Patel told Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo in an interview set to air on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “We want the American men and women to know if you’re going to come work at the premier law enforcement agency in the world, we’re going to give you a building that’s commensurate with that, and that’s not this place,”
As it turns out, Pope Leo XIV is Catholic.
The U.S.-born pontiff delivered an address Friday to the Vatican diplomatic corps where he affirmed that marriage is between a man and a woman, and emphasized the dignity of unborn children and the elderly.
“It is the responsibility of government leaders to work to build harmonious and peaceful civil societies. This can be achieved above all by investing in the family, founded upon the stable union between a man and a woman, ‘a small but genuine society, and prior to all civil society,'” Pope Leo XIV said, with a reference to Pope Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum encyclical.
Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post is commiserating with wealthy restaurant owners who are trying to shield their lower-wage, illegal migrant workers from President Donald Trump’s crackdown on legal migration.
“Owners or operators of four restaurants confirmed to the Washington Post that they had lost employees, whether permanently or temporarily, since DHS agents visited last week,” the newspaper reported.
“If they want to go by the [law] book, there is not many restaurants left in D.C.,” said Luis Reyes, a former illegal migrant from El Salvador who is now the co-owner of a restaurant visited by ICE. He added:
James Comey will be interviewed by the US Secret Service on Friday afternoon at the Washington Field Office, according to CNN.
Comey is under investigation for calling for Trump to be killed in a cryptic Instagram post.
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption.
“86 47” = Kill Trump
According to CNN, James Comey is not in custody. He is voluntarily going in for the interview with Secret Service.
CNN reported:
Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be escorted by US Secret Service agents to their Washington Field Office on Friday afternoon, according to a law enforcement source.
