Attorney General Merrick Garland defied a final warning Thursday to comply with a subpoena for the audio of President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur. If Garland did not comply with the subpoena, he would face contempt of Congress proceedings, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-KY) and Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote Garland on April 17. (Photo) Biden’s Justice Department replied Thursday to Comer and Jordan by refusing to hand over the audio, citing a lack of “legitimate congressional need” for it. “If the Committees’ goal is to receive information from the Department in furtherance of your investigations, that goal has been more than met,”

He’s beneath contempt. Contempt doesn’t bother him. He swims in it. Soils himself in it. Picks his teeth in it.

Well there's a surprise. When our representatives don't bow down to the letter and spirit of the law and there is no real consequence there is a very real trickle down effect. The slide is clear down to the kids. This is like warning a student a dozen or two times and then, if that doesn't shake him up, well by golly give a dozen or two more warnings, and keep to that until the end of the day. What happened to Obama's AG? What will happen in this case. I pray and hope for a different result this time Our country is spinning out of control just like the kids. But I wouldn't bet a dollar on it.

Garland and Wray defy subpoenas and requests. Hillary's email were subpoenaed but she destroyed them too. But boy if Trump did he would be in jail. TWO TIERED legal system. (Not justice system but LEGAL system).

Isn't the DOJ the one to decide if they will charge Garland with any actual crimes in this case after a referral from Congress? Garland will certainly not charge himself with contempt. The Congress can describe their need for the tapes to get the tone and tenor of Biden's responses. A transcript does not show the true nature of how Biden responded. Sure, a transcript shows his words, bit it does not show his stops, dead spaces, and stumbles. They may have even ignored incoherent mumbling. This is why they are important!

There is never a penalty for communists who break the law. They know it. In the meantime I am still expected to respect and obey the law. I do not respect it and I obey it when it suits me. The laws written by congress are apparently optional nowadays.

Eighteen years ago this week, the liberal networks donated their airwaves to the cause of protesters seeking to kill a bill which would have increased the federal government’s ability to enforce immigration laws. The May 1, 2006 protests were part of a wave of activism that spring sponsored by left-wing groups aimed at derailing GOP efforts to curb illegal immigration — even as polls at the time showed four out of five Americans (81%) thought illegal immigration was “out of control.” [For perspective: in 2006, there were a total of 1,089,096 encounters with illegal immigrants at all U.S. borders, according to government statistics.

The unprecedented “lawfare” being waged against former President Donald Trump by the Biden Department of Justice “goes well beyond” the former president and actually targets “anybody” who supports Trump or is conservative. That was the warning from Maryland Republican Rep. Andy Harris, who cautioned against the use of “third-world tactics” that have no place in the U.S., as well as how many on the left would likely “deny the outcome” of a democratically-elected Trump in 2024. He also slammed the “antisemitic pro-Palestinian protests” that have appeared at U.S. college campuses, where antisemitism has been “simmering,” describing them as “not American,” while demanding Biden “come forward daily and publicly”

President Joe Biden gave an energetic performance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner - with the 81 year-old making fun of his age, an infamous fall from a bike - and Donald Trump's ongoing hush money trial. Addressing a crowd of 2,600 journalists at the Washington Hilton Hotel, Biden quipped that First Lady Jill had been nervous about him giving a speech. He said: 'I told her, don't worry, it's just like riding a bike. 'She said, "that's what I'm worried about".' Addressing concerns over his advancing years, Biden, who is the oldest president in history, added: 'Yes, age is an issue. I'm a grown man, I'm running against a six year old.'

It is single-party rule in Albany with a supermajority of Democrats, Zeldin said, explaining that the state is dealing with prosecutors funded by George Soros.

Hundreds of homes were flattened, ripped from their foundations, or had their roofs torn off when tornadoes barreled through two states. The first twister hit Elkhorn, Nebraska, on the outskirts of Omaha, about 4 pm on Friday where it wrecked at least six homes - all of them newly built - and damaged dozens more. 'The whole neighborhood just to the north of us is pretty flattened,' Kim Woods, whose house was mostly spared, said.

Only one person, Ashli Babbitt, was killed, and it was by a Capitol Police officer. Was it our nation’s proudest moment?

As RedState reported, videos of the self-proclaimed revolutionary who leads the pro-Hamas "encampment" on campus showed him calling for Jews to be exterminated. In his disturbing rantings, James claimed that "Zionists don't deserve to live" and said they should be exterminated like "nazis." Around 95 percent of Jews support the existence of a Jewish state, making them "Zionists."

From New York to California, students protesting the Israel-Hamas war slept in tents at college campuses, as some universities moved to shut down encampments and arrested dozens of demonstrators after reports of antisemitic activity. With the death toll mounting in the war in Gaza, protesters nationwide are demanding schools cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say enable the conflict. Some Jewish students say the protests have veered into antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus. At Columbia University in New York City, where early protests sparked pro-Palestinian demonstrations across the country, students and administrators have engaged in negotiations,
