Yahoo reported:

The state party’s decision to back White came at the Minnesota GOP convention in St. Paul’s RiverCentre on Saturday.

White, a former professional basketball player, was introduced on stage at the convention by former Trump adviser Steve Bannon.

White received 67% of the vote on the first ballot at Saturday’s convention to receive an endorsement from the party to challenge Klobuchar, who has represented Minnesota in the upper chamber for nearly two decades.

Thank you MNGOP and delegates for endorsing me as candidate in the 2024 Minnesota United States Senate race. I’m at a loss for words and that takes a lot… The People Are Coming!

Joe Biden on Saturday arrived in Atlanta to pander to black voters at a campaign event.

Biden’s motorcade passed through bright blue Atlanta in his presidential motorcade on Saturday and nobody cared.

A few people who were strolling around town on a Saturday caught a glimpse of Joe Biden’s motorcade driving through Atlanta.

There were no Biden supporters holding up ‘Biden 2024’ flags in bright blue Atlanta in a state he supposedly won in 2020.

Nobody was cheering as Biden passed through. Bystanders looked bored.

Biden’s campaign event was a total snooze fest. There was pin-drop silence at Mary Mac’s Tea Room in downtown Atlanta as Joe Biden spoke with a campaign volunteer.

A door creaked open and Biden spun around looking more lost than ever. He saluted as everyone laughed.

Biden trashed Trump and called him a “loser.”

“My opponent is not a good loser, but he’s still a loser,” Biden said as he lied about his years “playing ball.”

“Folks, Trump isn’t running to lead America. He’s running for revenge,” Biden said Saturday. “And look, revenge is no way to lead a country.”

Of course, this is pure projection.

“Georgia is the reason I’m president right now,” Biden said.

Biden also creeped on women and invaded their personal space.

Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) on Thursday spoke to The Gateway Pundit during the ongoing House Judiciary Committee hearing to advance measures to hold corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to hand over audio tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s audio interview with Joe Biden.

The Gateway Pundit reported that on Thursday afternoon, the House Judiciary Committee voted to move forward with a resolution to hold corrupt Garland in contempt for refusing to provide the tapes from Hur’s interview, which exposed the current White House occupant as nothing more than an “elderly man with a poor memory.”

Later on Thursday evening, the House Oversight Committee also voted 24-20 to recommend that Garland be held in contempt of Congress.

JUST IN: House Oversight Committee Passes Resolution Recommending Merrick Garland be Held in Contempt of Congress For Defying Subpoena

The transcript of Biden’s interview with Hur, obtained by House Republicans, shows that Biden couldn’t even remember when he was Vice President or when his son Beau died of brain cancer.

Joe Biden kept classified documents next to his class Corvette in his garage, but prosecutors refused to pursue criminal charges against him. Meanwhile, President Trump is facing 40 charges for “improperly” storing classified documents in his Mar-a-Lago home.

Visibly rattled by the efforts to hold him in contempt, Merrick Garland told reporters Thursday that the Justice Department does not need to comply with a congressional subpoena because the DOJ is “a fundamental institution of our democracy.”

This comes after a last-minute attempt by the Biden Regime to assert executive privilege over the audio tapes. As The Gateway Pundit reported, White House counsel Ed Siskel lashed out at the House GOP in an angry letter, accusing them of only wanting the recordings “to chop them up” and use them for political reasons. The truth is, they don’t want the public to see exactly how braindead alleged 81 million vote-getter Joe Biden is leading up to the 2024 election.

“They don’t get to give us the transcript, and then because the audio is so damning and shows Joe Biden as someone who’s most likely too incompetent to be president, now, they’re trying to say we don’t get to have the audio or the video,” Representative Hageman told The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson. “If they’ve already turned over the transcript, we’re also entitled to the audio and video.”

Watch below:

Conradson: How is it that Democrats always seem to get away with defying congressional subpoenas?

Hageman: I think it’s because so many of the institutions in Washington, DC are staffed with leftists as well. Merrick Garland is a hack. He’s a political hack, and he’s shown that over, and over, and over again. His willingness to ignore the law in order to protect Joe Biden and to further the Democrat agenda has been on display for the last several years. So, the reason we’re seeking to hold him in contempt is we’re trying to get a hold of the audio of the interview with special counsel Hur and Joe Biden. We already have the transcript. And now, they’re trying to argue that there’s some kind of executive privilege. Well, if they were going to argue that, they needed to argue it over the transcript. They don’t get to give us the transcript, and then because the audio is so damning and shows Joe Biden as someone who’s most likely too incompetent to be president, now, they’re trying to say we don’t get to have the audio or the video. So that’s what this is about, because they don’t get to determine in what, I guess mechanism, when we get the information. If they’ve already turned over the transcript, we’re also entitled to the audio and video.

Conradson: I wanted to talk about that. Joe Biden tried to assert executive privilege over the audio. Are they again, trying to interfere in the election, make sure the American people can’t hear him incoherently rambling?

Hageman: That is exactly what it is. They don’t want the American public to see how Joe Biden is failing in terms of mental acuity. That’s what this is about. We’re trying to make sure that we have the audio because the finding of Mr. Hur was that he was essentially too incompetent to stand trial. That’s what Mr. Hur found in his report. And if that’s the case, then he’s obviously too incompetent to be President of the United States. And so, reading a transcript, you’re not going to see things like how often he paused, or how he looked confused, or how he slurred his words, all of those things, which I think are important, not only for our oversight responsibilities with the committee but also for the American public to see. They’re entitled to see it.

Alice Stewart, a former GOP advisor and a CNN political commentator, has died unexpectedly at the age of 58.

Her passing was confirmed after her body was discovered early Saturday morning outdoors in the Bellevue neighborhood of northern Virginia, according to CNN.

Authorities indicated that no foul play is suspected in her death, suggesting that a medical emergency may have been the cause.

Mark Thompson, CEO of the far-left CNN, expressed deep sorrow over Stewart’s passing in an email sent to staff.

“Alice was a very dear friend and colleague to all of us at CNN,” Mark Thompson said.

“A political veteran and an Emmy Award-winning journalist who brought an incomparable spark to CNN’s coverage, known across our bureaus not only for her political savvy, but for her unwavering kindness. Our hearts are heavy as we mourn such an extraordinary loss.”

CNN reported:

Stewart started her career as a local reporter and producer in Georgia before moving to Little Rock, Arkansas, to be a news anchor, she told Harvard International Review. She went on to serve as the communications director in then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s office before assuming a similar role for his presidential run in 2008.

She also served as the communications director for the 2012 Republican presidential bids of former Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and then former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, also a former CNN commentator. Most recently, Stewart was the communications director for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s 2016 GOP campaign.

CNN hired Stewart as a political commentator ahead of the 2016 election, and she appeared on air frequently to provide insight on the political news of the day, including as recently as Friday on “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.”

“We always invited her to come on my show because we knew we would be a little bit smarter at the end of that conversation,” Blitzer told Jessica Dean on “CNN Newsroom.” “She helped our viewers better appreciate what was going on and that’s why we will miss her so much.”

The news of Stewart’s death comes as a shock, particularly since she appeared on CNN just yesterday. She made a post on her Instagram just a day before her death.

Daily Mail reported that “She appeared to lead a relatively healthy lifestyle and only last month posted photos of her taking part in a 10 mile run, nicknamed the Cherry Blossom run, in Washington D.C.”

Stewart was fully vaccinated.

I am fully vaccinated. Not sure why others do what they do.

Although the Biden regime is doing everything to allow illegals to enter into the US, the Texas DPS is working hard to protect their own state.

Earlier this week, the Texas DPS arrested 29 illegal aliens from a stash house in Webb County, Texas. They were from Honduras and Mexico, 21 of them males, and 8 were females. One of those was a member of the “Tango Blast Gang.” DPS troopers handed over the illegals to the Border Patrol.

So far, Texas DPS under Operation Lone Star have found over 500 stash houses which housed over 4,900 illegal aliens in total.

Earlier this month, Texas DPS released footage of an illegal alien plunging a truck into the Rio Grande and then swimming toward Mexico to avoid capture.

Biden’s open border policies have facilitated smuggling operations for cartels at the southern border in places like the Rio Grande. This is just one of numerous incidents that they deal with on a continual basis.

This is Joe Biden’s America.

New data from the CBP reveals that over 434,000 illegal aliens have been flown into the US under crooked Joe Biden’s CHNV parole program.

CHNV is an abbreviation for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. This parole program allows up to 30,000 “non-citizens” per month from those countries to be considered entry into the US by being flown directly into the country.

The accumulated total under this program is 184,600 from Haiti, 101,200 from Venezuela, 91,100 from Cuba, and 75,700 from Nicaragua.

NEW: Per new CBP data through April, at least 434,800 migrants have flown directly into the US and have been paroled into the country via the Biden administration’s controversial CHNV mass parole program. This includes:

184,600 Haitians
101,200 Venezuelans
91,100 Cubans
75,700…

— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) May 16, 2024

When TGP had reported on this in April, the total was at about 404,000 illegals. Since then, it has been an increase of about 30,000 illegals. This does not include the overwhelming statistics of the border invasion that is happening on a daily basis.

The program allows up to 2 years for the recipients to stay in the US. ICE currently does not have the resources to pursue individuals who stay past their allowed time. Currently, the DHS does not see them as a priority for removal.

Since the Biden regime took over in 2021, approximately 10 to 12 million illegals have invaded the US. The CHNV program is a smaller percentage of the overall border and illegal invasion of our nation. Whether illegals are being flown in, or directly crossing the border, it is evident that Biden is intentionally bringing these illegals into the US.

Fox reporter Bill Melugin had reached out to the CBP to ask for the nationalities of the suspects arrested that were on the terror watchlist under the Freedom of Information Act and was denied. They prioritized the privacy of these suspects to what they said outweighed “minimal public interest.”

ICYMI: CBP is refusing to turn over data I sought in a FOIA request regarding the nationalities of suspects on the terror watchlist arrested by Border Patrol.

The Biden regime has continuously put the interest of illegal aliens over Americans in regards to safety, enforcement of law, and for the general overall good of the American people.

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has shown that he has no intention of securing the border. In February he was on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and dodged all responsibility for the border crisis.

“Do you bear responsibility for what is happening at the border?” Kristin Welker asked.

“We don’t bear responsibility for a broken system,” Mayorkas continued.

In an ongoing border crisis, and of no benefit, the Biden regime still manages to fly in over 434,000 illegals directly into our country.

A second-grade teacher in Virginia was arrested on Thursday after a school resource officer noticed that she was high on drugs.

Candyce Leigh Carter, 35, also had drugs in her classroom at the Spotswood Elementary School in Fredericksburg.

The teacher was charged with felony possession of schedule I/II narcotics, felony child endangerment, and felony child neglect or abuse, according to the Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office.

According to a report from Fox News, “During the incident, Carter’s husband was found in the school parking lot in a vehicle, also under the suspected influence of narcotics, and required medical attention, police said.”

The husband has been identified as Kristopher Donald Carter.

A two-year-old child was also inside the vehicle.

The husband was charged with felony child endangerment and felony child neglect or abuse.

“Both Carters have been incarcerated at Rappahannock Regional Jail. Candyce Carter is being held without bond. Kristopher Carter is in jail under a $5,000 bond,” Fox reports.

It is not believed that any students were exposed to the drugs.

“No students reported injuries or exposure, but were checked by medical personnel out of abundance of caution and the classroom was professionally cleaned,” the sheriff’s office said.

While Spotsylvania County Public Schools has not announced if Carter is fired, School Board Chair Lorita Daniels said that they take “all reports of alleged personnel misconduct very seriously and follows applicable district policies and procedures.”

“Spotsylvania County Public Schools takes all reports of alleged personnel misconduct very seriously and follows applicable district policies and procedures when responding to and investigating complaints,” Daniels said in a statement to FOX 5 DC. “The district appreciates the quick action of our Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Department. We will continue to work diligently to ensure all students and staff remain safe while in our schools.”

Shocking video footage released this week shows the moment a naked man in California got smacked by a car after running into traffic during a suspected mental health episode.

The video, which has since gone viral, shows the nude man leaping over a fence at his family’s home and racing into the street. He manages to evade one vehicle but then flips over a car’s hood after getting creamed.

Police deputies arrive moments later and surround him.

KABC reported the shocking incident occurred about 9:30 a.m. Thursday on Slauson Avenue near Edgemar Avenue in Ladera Heights, a small unincorporated community in Los Angeles County.

Jerry Garcia, the witness who recorded the video, shered his thoughts on the incident in an interview with FOX 11 Los Angeles.

“It was just crazy, a naked man jumping out of the bush from the roof and onto the street,” Garcia said. “Just speechless because you’d never expect a naked man running in front of you during your day.”

Garcia also told the outlet he recalled seeing a dazed look on the man’s face.

“Just very confused; I don’t know what he was on or what was going on through his head, but yeah, very confused, like kind of out of it,” Garcia said.

As KABC reported, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department revealed the man’s family called deputies to the home for help. The man’s family said he was undergoing a mental health crisis and had multiple self-inflicted lacerations.

The mentally disturbed man was transported to a local hospital after being struck by the vehicle. KABC reports he is currently in stable condition.

Two youthful Bank of America employees suddenly passed away this month for reasons yet to be determined.

The most recent death was 25-year-old Adnan Deumic, who worked in the United Kingdom for Bank of America. Fox Business reported he died from “cardiac arrest” while playing soccer Thursday night, merely two weeks after a 35-year-old investment banker for the company passed away unexpectedly, reportedly due to a blood clot.

A Bank of America spokesperson confirmed Adnan Deumic’s death to Fox Business.

“The death of our teammate is a tragedy, and we are shocked by the sudden loss of a popular, young colleague,” the spokesperson said. “We are committed to providing our full support to Adnan’s family, his friends, and to our many employees grieving his loss.”

Deumic, originally from Sweden, was quite active in sports, including ice hockey. Before working for Bank of America, he interned at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Nordic investment bank ABG Sundal Collier.

Earlier this month, Wall Street was alarmed after learning about the death of 35-year-old Bank of America associate Leo Lukenas III, a former Green Beret and a member of the bank’s Financial Institutions Group. He left behind a wife and two young children.

Lukenas was reportedly working about 100 hours a week for several weeks on a $2 billion merger that was completed last month.

A Bank of America spokesperson told The New York Post following Lukenas’s death they were “very saddened” and promised to support his family.

According to Fox Business, Deumic was working closer to a standard workweek compared to Lukenas.

Some critics of Bank of America have alleged that the deaths of Deumic and Lukenas are tied to grueling working conditions at the company. The Post reported Bank of America employees began discussing a possible walk-out following Lukenas’s tragic passing.

Their deaths, though, have not been linked to working long hours at this point.

Pro-Hamas cheerleaders have made one of the most important touchstones in a person’s life, the pride and accomplishment of commencement, all about themselves.

But one brave little girl turned the tables on the protesters at NYU School of Law’s commencement on Thursday.

During the event, Palestinian flag-waving protesters, shrieking hateful chants, refused to leave the stage.

Law school Dean Troy McKenzie pleaded with a student holding a Palestinian flag to stop disrupting the event and leave the stage, saying, “You made your point.”

But the disruptions didn’t stop brave six-year-old Eden Rose Neiger from joining her graduating mother, Devorah Neiger, and two siblings from walking on stage to mark an important moment for her family.

Once on stage, Eden raised a picture of a purple heart she drew while waiting in the audience and handed it to Dean McKenzie.

Her proud father, Edward Neiger, said, “The mood and energy completely changed – she got the biggest applause of the whole ceremony.”

According to The New York Post, Edward added, “There was tension in the room – you didn’t know what was going to happen next. While some students disrupted the ceremony with symbols of hate, Eden drew a purple heart as a symbol of love.”

Via the Post:

“She got such resounding applause” in a day that was dominated by “darkness,” said the mom, noting that the politically charged acts were “really jarring and shocking.”

“You just have to sit there and take it – you don’t want to stoop to that level, even though every part of your body wants to stand up to them,” said Devorah Neiger, who added that the artistic gesture was her daughter’s decision alone.

“We did not put her up to this.”

As they left the stage, Eden told her mom, “That was kind of brave of me.”

Judy Kayne, a Westchester teacher in attendance, was in full agreement.

“All of a sudden, this little girl gets up on the stage with her mother holding a piece of paper with a big heart,” recalled Kayne, who said it elicited standing ovations. “It was very powerful to me – the innocence of a child is all you want in this world. It was beautiful – children don’t know about hatred. That picture is sort of the answer to all of this hate.”
