Shades Of Nixon: Biden Refuses To Turn
Over Potentially Devastating Tapes
Posted By: RockyTCB, 6/7/2024 8:51:00 AM
Almost exactly 50 years ago, the Supreme Court ordered President Richard Nixon to turn over White House tapes that he had refused to release for nearly a year, citing executive privilege. On July 24, 1974, the court unanimously rejected Nixon’s executive privilege claim. Sixteen days later, Nixon resigned. Fast forward to this year, and President Joe Biden is refusing to release tapes of his interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur about his handling of classified documents, citing, as Nixon did, executive privilege, with an added twist about the risk of “deep fakes.” Biden is, in fact, so determined to keep the tapes secret

Conservative commentators’ red carpets are rolled out for independent presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy Jr., whose name recognition is off the scale thanks to the accident of his birth.
But whether Glenn Beck, Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro, and others who have loaned him their microphones of late, wanted to experience a little glow from the relics of Camelot or, more likely, sought to shift votes away from President Joe Biden, it is very clear this election year that hyping RFK Jr. in any way is something no one on the side of freedom in America should be doing.

Prosecute Fauci

Just the News has an online poll asking readers if they “think Fauci will be prosecuted for his handling of the pandemic.” Almost 80% say no, fewer than a fifth say yes. Only 3% are unsure. We hope that overwhelming majority is wrong. Anthony Fauci, a man with an impressive title that demands a respect he doesn’t deserve, should be put in the dock. His response to the coronavirus pandemic was criminal.
The former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was back in front of Congress Monday, testifying before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. It was naturally a contentious affair.
If you want to know just how much leftist elites despise everyday Americans, watch how they respond to polls – including the latest I&I /TIPP Poll – showing Donald Trump still ahead of Joe Biden after being convicted of … what were the crimes Trump committed again?
Even before last week’s verdicts, corporate media types, Democrats, and the cadre of self-aggrandizing never-Trumpers were struggling to understand how Trump – the man who they all agree is an existential threat to the country – could possibly be polling better than Joe Biden.
Up until now, they’d managed to disguise their disdain for us plebeians
The World Held Hostage: Day 240
2 replies
Three grisly, gut-wrenching reports starkly contrast the sanity the world has long left behind and the Through-the-Looking-Glass unreality it inhabits today.
The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) issued two separate announcements relating to its discovery of the bodies of seven Hamas hostages, all apparently murdered during their abduction on Oct. 7.
Separately, families released video of the capture and brutal treatment that day of five bound, bloodied and bruised female IDF soldiers, with kidnappers suggesting they will be subject to violence and sexual assault. One woman’s father indicated the release was a “wakeup call to the world” of their continued captivity and suspected abuse.

The stunning felony conviction of former President Donald Trump garnered headlines around the world and created sharp political arguments across the U.S. But did it affect the presidential race? The answer is yes. It seems to have actually helped Trump, the June I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
The poll was taken from Wednesday, May 29, through Friday, May 31. The verdict against Trump in New York state court was rendered on Thursday, May 30. So a significant share of the 1,675 registered voters who took the national online I&I/TIPP Poll actually knew that Trump had been found guilty of 34 felony counts.
The climate alarmists have a long habit of revealing the true motives behind the global warming scare, and of course they have nothing to do with keeping the sky from catching on fire. In the most recent tacit admission, a college professor suggests that the administration sell the climate crisis to black voters by listing all the green energy government handouts they can avail themselves of.
In the New York Times piece published over the weekend, Jerel Ezell, a University of California, Berkeley, assistant professor “who studies environmental politics and race,” expressed concern that “politicians often seem to downplay the crisis when courting black communities.”
A Sneaky Way To End Fossil Fuel
8 replies
When candidate Joe Biden promised while on the campaign trail that “we’re going to end fossil fuel,” could anyone have guessed that emptying the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve was part of the plan? Maybe Biden had that in mind all along – enact policies that raise the price of gasoline, dip into the reserves to lower prices for consumers, then finally wring them dry for, putatively, the same reason. That’s one way to get rid of quite a lot of fossil fuel.
The federal Strategic Petroleum Reserve is “the world’s largest supply of emergency crude oil,” says the Energy Department. It
Next Tuesday both sides will present their closing arguments in the People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump, a case that exists for one reason only: to stop Trump from ever occupying the White House again.
But what if this doesn’t work? What if there’s a hung jury or, worse yet, an acquittal? What if none of the 88 trumped-up felony charges results in a conviction and voters actually have a chance to elect Trump, should they prefer him over the decrepit failure known as Joe Biden?

American college campuses have experienced mass demonstrations and occupations by students and outsiders in recent months following Israel’s powerful response to the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks by the Islamist group Hamas. Do Americans support this? No, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
Many average Americans expressed shock at the sudden violent, and well-organized, demonstrations and tent cities that sprang up at universities around the nation, largely in support of Hamas and the destruction of Israel.
A solid majority of Americans are not happy with this, according to May’s national online I&I/TIPP Poll
Showing that there are no loons quite like global warming loons, Jim Dale, founder of the British Weather Services, recently “demanded” that “climate denial” should be “criminalized.” According to news from the “United Kingdom’s News Channel,” Dale “likened climate denial to flat earth conspiracy theories, arguing they are too dangerous for public discourse.”
As our favorite Looney Tunes character would say, “what a maroon.”
Yet it makes us wonder: If carbon dioxide were put on trial, charged with overheating our only planet, would it be convicted?
Not if the trial were fair.
The headline in the Wall Street Journal typifies the reaction to the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing above 40,000 for the first time in its history — “Dow at 40000 Is Welcome News for President Biden.”
The Journal calls it “the latest sign the economy has shrugged off the threat of recession,” and says it’s “welcome news for President Biden, whose approval — and re-election prospects — are being held down by public dissatisfaction with the economy …. The Dow is up nearly 30% since Biden was inaugurated in January 2021. That is slightly higher than where the Dow was at the same

While the Episcopal Church has not exactly been a bastion of conservatism and Christian orthodoxy for many years now, its recent unveiling of an LGBT “pride” logo signaled its final capitulation to secular forces. (snip) On May 16, the Episcopal Church took things to the next level with a news release touting a “Pride shield.”
The church’s ancient shield was revised to include elements of the LGBT “Pride” and “Pride Progress” flags.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., spoke out against the invitation sent to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to Congress next month, declaring, "This is wrong."
During an appearance on CNN Friday, Pelosi, when asked whether she would have invited Netanyahu to speak if she was still speaker, replied, "Absolutely not."
"I think this is wrong," Pelosi told CNN's Dana Bash. "Frankly, I didn't approve of his being invited the last time [in 2015] but the speaker just on his own invited him without consulting with the rest of the leadership.
Joe Biden has dealt another body blow to America's gas car manufacturers after his stuttering roll-out of EV charging points was slammed as 'pathetic'.
The Transportation Department told automakers they have eight years to squeeze another 16 miles per gallon out of their cars if they want to stay in business - while the fuel efficiency of their trucks will have to double.
Friday's edict came just weeks after the EPA slashed the limits on tailpipe emissions as part of the White House pledge to ensure that more than half of all new vehicles sold are electric by 2032.
Costco will no longer offer books for sale year-round and will instead stock them only for the holiday shopping period and during special promotions, according to a report — a surprise move that poses yet another threat to the publishing industry. Several publishing executives who were informed of the retailer’s plans told The New York Times that Costco will cease offering books for sale on a consistent basis starting in January. The decision was met with criticism on Reddit, where users vented that the decision was akin to “cancelling the hot dog in the food court” — a reference to

with Russia — including plans for US

NATO is mapping out “land corridors” to enable US troops and other allied forces to reach the front lines quicker in the event of a broader European ground war with Russia.
The move follows warnings from NATO leaders earlier this year urging Western governments to prepare themselves for a full-blown war with Russia sometime in the next 20 years.
The newly established troop expressways would see American soldiers landing at one of five designated ports. They would then be deployed along pre-established routes depending on how a potential attack by Moscow would play out, NATO officials told The Telegraph.
It's been a rough go lately for Caitlin Clark, but perhaps Friday night is exactly what she needed.
The rookie phenom tied her career-high of 30 points on Friday night and helped her Indiana Fever get an 85-83 win over the Washington Mystics.
Clark tied a WNBA rookie record with seven three-pointers, joining Crystal Robinson as the only players to make that many shots from behind the arc in their first year in the league. Her seven 3s were also the most in a game in Fever history, breaking Tamika Catchings' record of six in 2002.
A predominantly Black neighborhood in Hartford, Connecticut, hoping to fend off violent crime, has turned to an armed group of citizens to patrol their streets by land and by air.
The so-called "Self-Defense Brigade" — made up of about 40 legally armed citizens — are voluntarily patrolling the streets of Hartford’s North End wearing body cameras mostly on nights and weekends, according to the group’s founder, Cornell Lewis. When the armed volunteers are not on the streets, the group monitors video feeds from a dozen drones hovering over the neighborhood, and 75 home surveillance cameras in the neighborhood.
A world-historical societal transformation is taking place before our very eyes, and yet few have taken notice. Britain, the erstwhile leader of the Western world and the foundation and source of English-speaking civilization, is in its last days as a free society, and will soon become an Islamic state. Yet despite the mountains of evidence that this transformation is taking place, many will still deny that it is happening at all. They may not even admit it when it overtakes them personally.

Is This Trump’s Top VP Pick?
15 replies
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) reportedly rose to former President Donald Trump’s vice president shortlist.
According to several reports released this week, Cotton has captured the interest of Trump as he narrows his VP list down ahead of the 2024 election. The New York Times claimed that Cotton has “unexpectedly emerged as a top contender” on Trump’s list. The former president has praised the senator as “a reliable and effective communicator in cable news interviews.”
“The two men fostered a close relationship during their time in Washington. They worked closely on immigration issues and shared an affinity for the conservative populism fueling the Republican Party,” the NYT report read.
There’s just something very sketchy about this public release of information from Judge Merchan in New York City. Merchan doesn’t have an integrity bone and the comment he is bringing attention toward is innocuous and random. However, Merchan could be trying to get Trump to violate the gag order aspect and talk about jurors; thereby making the sentencing worse.
According to information Merchan is providing the lawyers in the Trump case, a comment was made on the court’s FaceBook page indicating one of the jurors said the Trump guilty verdict was predetermined.
In some of the biggest news to come out of the war between Israel and Hamas in months, four hostages were rescued from Nuseirat, a "refugee camp" in the middle of the Gaza Strip. The operation was conducted jointly with the IDF, the ISA (Israel's intelligence agency), and Israeli police forces. The rescued hostages were three men and one woman, all taken during the Nova Music Festival on October 7th. Their names are as follows: Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv.

Trump's hush money conviction could be in doubt after a Facebook post claimed jurors were discussing plans to find the ex-president guilty before delivering their verdict.
Judge Juan Merchan sparked speculation of potential mistrial when he sent a letter to the prosecution and defense attorneys about the message that read: 'My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted [heart emoji] Thank you folks for all your had work!!!!'
The user, named Michael Anderson, wrote the post that sparked confusion on a New York Unified Court System's Facebook page.
