The liberal outlet Politico is reporting that Biden aides are worried about the president suffering ‘psychological torment’ over his son Hunter’s trial.
The media is truly beyond parody.
Can you imagine any media outlet reporting something like this about the Trump family and his trials? It would never happen.

Biden aides worry about psychological torment as Hunter heads for trial
President Joe Biden will soon have to watch and wait as 12 jurors in his home state decide whether his son is guilty of felony gun charges — a case brought by his own Justice Department.
On May 8, 2024, Legal Insurrection Foundation and its Equal Protection Project hosted an online webinar, Who Is Funding Anti-Israel Campus Protests? [Snip] But there’s a deeper story that needed to be told, of a well-funded network of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that plan and pay for these protest movements. It didn’t sprout organically. It’s a calculated, organized, and well-funded movement. At the Legal Insurrection Foundation, we’ve been discussing and educating the public on the origins of this pernicious movement for over a decade. In this live event, we explored the funding driving these tentifadas and campus protests.

Joe Biden attended the National Peace Officers' Memorial Service on Wednesday.
The event recognizes the officers who lost their lives in the line of duty over the past year.
Biden likely is hoping that his appearance will prompt people to think Democrats are supportive of the police. But the problem is all the Democrats who have not been — who have called for defunding of the police — and the leftists who chant on campuses even now against the police. But we remember.
But as he was walking up to his seat, you can see that he tripped, although he didn't fall.

It appears illegal immigrants are “getting away” from Border Patrol under the Biden administration in record numbers. New data reveals a drastic uptick in the number of illegals eluding the authorities amid the crisis at the southern border.
The data, obtained by Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin, reveals that over 1.6 million "gotaways" were recorded in Fiscal Year 2021 through 2023 — compared to 1.4 million from FY 2010 through 2020 — and over 175,000 “gotaways” have been recorded in this fiscal year, reflecting a marked increase from prior administrations over the past 13 years.

The fact that Mitt Romney (R-UT) gave an interview with a talking head at MSNBC itself says a lot about the junior senator from Utah, but in the course of that interview, Senator Romney made an interesting statement: that President Joe Biden not only should have pardoned former President Trump on any federal charges but should also have pressured prosecutors to drop any state or local charges. But not before throwing some shade at his fellow Republicans for supporting the former President.
Yes, really.
In an exclusive interview on MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle,” Romney expressed his dismay in response to Republican lawmakers,
Joe Biden, Political Pinwheel
replies
Joe Biden is not a person of principle or character. He is a lifelong politician who has spent decades shifting his positions on nearly every major issue. If one had to define Biden's political worldview, it would be simply this: Follow the Democratic herd, and desperately attempt to place yourself dead center in the middle of it. Joe Biden is, in short, a political pinwheel, taking note of the prevailing winds in his own party and seeking to channel them in his favor. This strategy made Biden a career also-ran. After all, who wants to follow a follower? Biden never achieved any level of national popularity on his own:
A former gym teacher reached a settlement with a California public school district, after claiming she was wrongfully fired when she refused to lie to parents about their child's pronoun preference and hide her religious beliefs.
Jessica Tapia will receive $360,000 from the Jurupa Unified School District after she was fired in 2022 and accused of proselytizing during class.
The teacher said the district accused her of not calling a student by their preferred pronouns, but denies ever being asked by a student to do so in the first place.
The United States Capitol Police (USCP) announced on Wednesday that they are investigating a “zip lock bag” left inside the agency’s headquarters building that contained a “small amount” of cocaine.
In a statement, the USCP explained that the “one-inch by one-inch zip lock bag” had been found on the floor of a hallway located on the second floor of the building in an area that is “heavily trafficked.” The zip lock bag reportedly contained a “small amount of a white powdery substance,” which the USCP said in the statement had tested positive for cocaine.

As RedState reported earlier, after months of being egged on by Donald Trump to step up and participate in presidential debates, President Joe Biden said on Twitter Wednesday morning that he was challenging the former POTUS to two of them, which Biden suggested should be held in June and September.
"Well, make my day, pal, I’ll even do it twice," Biden said in a pre-recorded, heavily edited 14-second video. "So let’s pick the dates, Donald – I hear you’re free on Wednesdays."
Itching for the opportunity, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee accepted the challenge, and not long after, it was announced that CNN would be hosting the June debate,
Earlier today the Joe Biden regime finally agreed to debate President Donald Trump. This was a great surprise to the American public after seeing Joe Biden’s lose his battle with dementia these past six years.
The first official presidential debate was held in 1960 between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. This year was looking to be the first time in 64 years that there would not be a presidential debate as the Biden regime balked at the idea knowing that Joe has the worst foreign policy record in history, the worst domestic policy record in 100 years, and is not mentally capable of a public debate
Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports” that former President Donald Trump can’t rely on cheering crowds at the upcoming presidential debate with President Joe Biden.
Host Stephanie Ruhle said, “There’s talk today about a presidential debate maybe as early as June. I know debates were important to you. They certainly got you a lot of momentum in 2012. Do you think they matter today? In many ways we know a lot about the two people running. do you think it will impact votes, maybe even your vote? ”

Democrats were hoping 2024 would be all about Donald Trump. Instead the No. 1 issue in a world on fire is Joe Biden’s incompetence. Last week, President Biden said he would withdraw military aid to Israel if it commenced military operations to go into Rafah and go after Hamas. There were many reactions to this announcement because it seemed to perfectly encapsulate the incoherent Israel policy the Biden administration has been developing since Hamas’ brutal attack last October that touched off the war in Gaza.
On one hand, the American people are broadly supportive of Israel and the moral justification for this war. Lest anyone forget, Hamas
Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) has won the Republican nomination in the closely watched race for the state’s open Senate seat, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.
Hogan is vying to succeed retiring Democratic Sen.

Hogan made a surprise entry into the race earlier this year, fueling Republican hopes of a strong showing in the blue-leaning state.

Brooklyn-based software engineer Dexter Taylor was sentenced on Monday to ten years in prison for building firearms in his own home. Last month, he was convicted on 13 counts related to his building and possessing rifles and pistols.
The 53-year-old New Yorker’s story has garnered increasing attention on digital, with many expressing outrage over his conviction and sentencing. Much of the anger involved Judge Abena Darkeh’s admonishment that the Second Amendment could not be mentioned by Taylor’s defense during the trial and the apparent bias shown by the court.
Just before his sentencing, Taylor was allowed to make a statement addressing the court.
In a landmark decision, a Bexar County visiting judge has ordered a new election for the 180th District Court seat in Harris County, Texas. This ruling comes after Republican candidate Tami Pierce narrowly lost to Democrat DaSean Jones by a mere 449 votes in the November 2022 election.
DaSean Jones, who was sworn in as a Harris County criminal district court judge 15 months ago and has since presided over hundreds of cases, now faces uncertainty about his 2022 election victory.
Republican Tami Pierce continues to contest the election results in court, asserting that “improper or illegal votes were counted” and that the election was “riddled with errors.”

CNN is President Joe Biden’s preferred network to host at least one presidential debate, he said Wednesday.
CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will host, according to Puck News. (X) Biden’s preferred network, CNN, with sinking ratings, is known to push hoaxes, according to Breitbart News’s John Nolte’s list, “THIS IS CNN”: The Biden campaign said the president would debate Trump only in June and September, without live audiences present. “I’ve received and accepted an invitation from @CNN for a debate on June 27th,” Biden posted on X. “Over to you, Donald. As you said: anywhere, any time, any place.”
'Make my day, pal.'
In a surprise video release Wednesday morning, a swaggering Joe Biden - mustering his best 'Dirty Harry' impression – challenged his 2024 opponent to meet him with rhetorical guns drawn for two presidential debates.
'Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020,' Biden said. 'Now he's acting like he wants to debate me again.'Well, yes, Mr. President. That's typically how American presidential elections work.
The two leading party candidates – and, perhaps, a third-party upstart – come together for public debates to earn the votes of the American people.
But curiously, for months, the Biden campaign has been trying to avoid such a showdown.
Fake studies have flooded the publishers of top scientific journals, leading to thousands of retractions and millions of dollars in lost revenue. The biggest hit has come to Wiley, a 217-year-old publisher based in Hoboken, N.J., which Tuesday will announce that it is closing 19 journals, some of which were infected by large-scale research fraud.
In the past two years, Wiley has retracted more than 11,300 papers that appeared compromised, according to a spokesperson, and closed four journals. It isn’t alone: At least two other publishers have retracted hundreds of suspect papers each. Several others have pulled smaller clusters of bad papers.
A bridge connecting Galveston, Texas, to a nearby island was struck by a barge Wednesday morning, causing an oil spill and prompting police to shut the bridge down.

No injuries were reported and two crew members were recovered after going overboard, Fox 26 reported. The people stranded on Pelican Island will be removed by boat, Galveston County judge Mark Henry said. Pelican Island is home to a Texas A&M satellite campus
The parade of GOP leaders appearing outside the New York City courthouse where former President Donald Trump is on trial is "a little embarrassing," Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said Wednesday.
"I think it’s a little demeaning to show up in front of a courthouse particularly one where we’re talking about an allegation of paying a porn star," Romney told reporters before a Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting in Washington. The former president is on trial for allegedly falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels amid the 2016 presidential election.
President Biden and former President Donald Trump on Wednesday made their plans to officially debate, but the offer from the Biden team came with several strings attached. Trump gave Biden an open invitation to debate anytime, anywhere, and Biden rose to the challenge, telling Trump to "make my day" in a heavily edited video on social media. Alongside Biden's announcement came a letter from his campaign to the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), and that letter revealed a few critical limits that Biden's team was placing on any debate between him and Trump.

The Peruvian government has taken a firm stand on the issue of gender identity. A new decree, signed by President Dina Boluarte, has officially classified transsexualism, nonbinary, and intersex conditions as “mental illnesses.”
Supreme Decree No. 009-2024-SA specifies “transsexualism” and “gender identity disorder in children” as mental health conditions, The Telegraph reported.
It further includes “dual-role transvestism, fetishist transvestism, egodystonic sexual orientation, and other gender identity disorders” in the same category. This groundbreaking decision by the Peruvian health ministry is seen by many as a bold affirmation of biological truths and a commitment to providing appropriate mental health care.
As both a proud Reagan conservative and as an American patriot, I am deeply troubled by our nation slipping from its responsibilities as the leader of the free world. Russia and Hamas both represent terrorist entities. Disengaging from the world stage and thinking it’s “none of our business” is a position that a man lionized by every conservative American like President Ronald Reagan would never embrace. Russia’s horrific crimes against the Ukrainian people are inexcusable and unjustified. I am both embarrassed by the Biden administration’s slow and weak response, and by the so-called Republicans who embrace the same foreign policy views that radical leftist

Federal prosecutors said the 39-year-old would take items from the warehouse and transport them to another party in Florida for sale online. The scheme went on for nearly a decade, and Globensky made roughly $5 million from the sales.
Palestinians on Wednesday marked the anniversary of their expulsion from what is now Israel facing a new mass displacement, as thousands more fled Rafah in the face of a deepening Israeli military operation. Hundreds of thousands of people have been driven out of the city in southern Gaza, once declared a “safe zone,” since Israel ordered evacuations and sent in ground forces. Defying U.S. pressure, Israel has pursued a campaign it says is focused on Hamas militants, but many Palestinians say the situation in Gaza is now a humanitarian catastrophe like the “Nakba” of 1948, when around 700,000 Palestinians were forced from their homes for the founding of Israel.

One mutation is “F456L,” representing an amino acid code change from “F” to “L” at the 456th amino acid of the spike protein chain. The other, “R346T,” represents the amino acid code change from “R” to “T” at position 346.

Since 1970 the value of the dollar has steadily declined. The lower 80% of Americans have lost income and purchasing power, largely due to the exodus of manufacturing by global corporations. As a result, the wealth gap between the global rich and the rest has widened.
From 2007-2016 the net worth of the richest Americans increased by 20% while the lower 80% decreased by the same percentage, widening the wealth gap considerably. The Federal Reserve sparked this change using quantitative easing to boost the sagging stock market. The rich could invest in this wealth explosion but the rest could not as much.

Outside Manhattan and other Democrat strongholds, Americans don’t care whether a flaky porn actress and an ex-con serial liar with a closet full of axes to grind are telling the truth.

He successfully staved off two political dynasties by beating out former State Delegate Moore Capito, the son of U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), and Chris Miller, son of U.S. Rep. Carol Miller (R-WV). They were his top opponents in the crowded field, along with Secretary of State Mac Warner.
